Chapter 2 First Meeting
The family sending team blew and beat all the way, and when they arrived at the East Palace, they were replaced by bursts of silk and bamboo music. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 With Xiao Chuan's support and the sound of blessings from the bride, I slowly walked into the main hall of the East Palace. The crown princess Jiang Ran was already sitting upright, and the two side concubines and the two concubines were standing on both sides of the main hall.
The concubines saluted me and blessed me, and I also saluted the crown princess and the side concubine according to the rules that Xiao Chuan said, "Mingxiu see the princess's sister, the princess's sister Jin An." ”
The crown princess said with a smile: "My sister is exempt, and today there is a newcomer in the East Palace, which is gratifying." ”
"Sister Crown Princess. ”
"State affairs are at the forefront, and it is a pity that the prince can't marry his sister in person, and I hope that my sister will put state affairs first. ”
"Mingxiu understands the word benevolence and righteousness. The prince works hard for the country, and Mingxiu, as a side concubine, should do his best. ”
"That's fine. On this day, my sister worked hard, and the prince hand-picked the Linglong Hall in the northeast to give it to my sister, and my sister went to rest. ”
"No. I saluted quietly, and slowly walked out of the main hall with Xiao Chuan's support.
Before she walked out of the palace gate, Concubine Yu laughed softly: "It's really pitiful, but on the wedding night, I was alone in the empty room!"
I remained silent and walked away. Isn't all this what I want, Zi Fei Yu knows the joy of fish, if the prince is here, maybe today will be my death.
Out of the main hall and take the chariot, after walking for a while, you arrived. Linglong Hall is indeed a good place, quiet and beautiful but graceful and luxurious, it can be seen that the prince attaches great importance to Mingxiu, and I also feel a deep crisis for this.
After living in the Linglong Palace, I sent all the slaves and maids in the hall to the outside of the hall, and only Xiao Chuan was left to serve in the main hall. After many days of getting along, Xiao Chuan gradually became cordial with me.
However, life in the East Palace was not comfortable. Every morning, I have to say hello to the crown princess, and at that time, I always have to listen to the concubines talk about some boring topics, such as which children in the East Palace, who are obedient and naughty, who is from the mother's house, what well-informed people say, what all kinds of things are said, and how luxurious those ladies in the palace are to eat, wear, and play...... No one wants to make themselves unhappy early in the morning, let alone make a mistake in front of the crown princess, everything seems so peaceful, I can occasionally interject a few words.
The days have passed, and I have had enough of the days of boredom but fear, and I have developed infinite attachment to my hometown, where there are my relatives, and I can't leave them behind. And the war on the border here has been won one after another, and the topic of the concubines in the palace has become the prince again.
This prince is indeed a brave and resourceful emperor, but I don't need the emperor and his favor.
The good times did not last long, and the news of Anguo's great victory spread to Anjing from the frontier. The capital also began to be lit up in preparation for the return of the crown prince. The East Palace was even more noisy, but secretly it was turbulent.
Xiao Chuan brought me the usual clothes to change as usual, "Niangniang, the prince defeated Ning Guo this time and received the letter to the ten states, which is really gratifying!"
"This is natural, your prince Wen Taowu is strategic, and it is difficult to win. I said lightly, but my heart was extremely complicated.
"Niangniang, the prince will return to Beijing in triumph in the near future, and he will definitely come to visit you at that time, Niangniang must be ready. ”
"Prepare what? Prepare a carriage for me. "I seem to be a little panicked.
"Where are you going?"
"Taoism. ”
Xiao Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is Niangniang going to the Taoist Temple for?" ”
"Who wants to pray for blessings, go and prepare, and don't let the crown princess know. “
"Yes. “
I remember that I was admiring the moon when I crossed over. Then all this must have something to do with the stars. Maybe by unraveling the mystery, I'll find a way home.
After Xiao Chuan left, I cleaned my face with clean water, tied a ponytail with a purple hairband like in modern times, and dressed in white, and sat and waited for Xiao Chuan to come back.
After all, Xiao Chuan came out of the palace, but everything will be arranged in a while. Seeing me come out of the door dressed like this, Xiao Chuan hesitated: "Niangniang, I'm afraid it's too ...... for you to go out of the East Palace like this."
"I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of, or you'll stay here and wait for me to come back. “
Xiao Chuan hurriedly said: "No, Xiao Chuan will go wherever the mother goes, Xiao Chuan is just worried that the prince will suddenly return to Beijing......
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided...... Let's go. I seemed to say to myself.
"Yes. ”
Xiao Chuan is a cautious and careful girl, she did not use the carriage of the East Palace, but hired an ordinary carriage outside the palace. Xiao Chuan and I walked out of the west gate in plain clothes, got into the carriage and went straight to Cheng'en Temple in the northwest. I hope the Taoist priest here can help me and send me home.
After walking for a while, the carriage suddenly stopped. Lifting the corner of the car curtain, I saw that the people around were crowded and noisy. Suddenly I had a bad feeling in my heart, "What's going on? Why are there so many people all of a sudden?"
The coachman shouted, "Madam, the prince has entered Beijing, and the road is full of people, and he can't walk anymore." ”
Xiao Chuan was already frightened, "Niangniang, what should I do? The prince is back! Let's go back to the palace!"
"Go back to the palace? I won't go back! Today I must go to Cheng'en Temple. "I'm very determined. When the prince returns to Beijing, life and death are out of my control, and if I return to the palace today, I am afraid that there will be no chance to come out again.
Xiao Chuan's face turned pale, and she gently opened the curtain of the car to visit, and suddenly her eyes widened and said, "Niangniang! Look, the prince is here!"
Out of curiosity, I also turned my eyes to the light, and I could roughly see the people outside kneeling on the side of the street quietly greeting the prince, and in the distance a small army was coming, only to see the leading young man riding a tall white horse, dressed in gold and silver armor, a jade-inlaid sword had been cut off before it was unsheathed, and the fingers pressed on the sword were slender and powerful, and the knuckles were distinct. He was smiling, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, gentle but majestic, his beautiful eyes were shining, and his wheat-colored cheeks were clean and handsome. At first glance, it is suspected that it is the lower realm of the immortals, but I don't know how many boudoir girls in the capital have been fascinated this time.
I sighed in my heart, looking at his face, he was a cold person, such a woman that a man fell in love with must not be a vulgar fan, but I don't know what kind of person Mingxiu is.
"The crown prince is recognized as the god of war in the world, and this great victory is also in the expectation of the people of Anguo, Xiao Chuan prays for the blessing of Da Anguo, and wishes the prince a long life!" Xiao Chuan prayed in a low voice.
I glanced at her and said to the coachman, "Drive the carriage to the side, and don't meet the prince." ”
"Yes. ”
The coachman pulled the carriage to the side of the road, when a gust of wind blew and lifted the curtain, and the prince's gaze happened to fall on us, and I panicked, and hurriedly closed the curtain. He doesn't recognize me, but he probably does. For a while, I was filled with inexplicable tension, and my brain went blank. Let's hope he doesn't think about it.
After a long time, the noise of the crowd sounded again, and Xiao Chuan ordered the coachman to continue walking.
Although they escaped the prince, the two hearts were still difficult to calm down, and they didn't speak to each other along the way. It's just that in the end, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on the will of God.
