Chapter 19
April in the world. When the peach trees in Chang'an City began to wither, the snow-white pear blossoms bloomed all over the outside of the Xiwu Gate, and the pink carved jade bricks stretched all the way to thousands of miles away.
The princess of Zhaoyuan descended, the emperor escorted the king of Yan and the four sons with the festival, and the king of Gongyi County was the wedding, and the temple was sued.
A long royal procession came out of the city gate, and there was no end in sight to the mighty carriages and horses. The marriage of the heavenly family, the princess out of the pavilion and relatives, is a rare event, Chang'an City is crowded, cars and horses are bustling, but all to see me such a princess who is not as good as seeing.
The morning sun is like fire, rising from the east to the middle of the sky. The peach blossoms outside the city have fallen, and the crimson carpet has been paved for ten miles. A pear blossom fell from a branch and landed in the palm of my outstretched hand. Through the crown of the phoenix with golden and red yarn, I saw the pear blossoms flying wantonly in the air, beautiful and sentimental.
A commotion came from both sides of the road. Through the gilded curtains, I saw that the people of Chang'an were crowded on both sides of the road, and the royal Gyeonggi dispatch to maintain order could not withstand the push and shove of the crowd.
"The princess quickly put the hijab on, so that others will not lose their manners. In the carriage, Jinglan, who accompanied her all the way, kindly mentioned, "The princess's posture of heaven and man, how can ordinary people look at it in vain." ”
I was amused by her blunt words, and laughed out loud, but she hurried forward to cover my mouth. "My princess, although this is a happy event to marry her relatives, but it is a custom passed down from the ancestors to say goodbye to crying and be proud of her daughter's farewell. ”
Jinglan's words were reasonable, and even Aunt Jiaoxi, who was sitting on the side with a meticulous expression, couldn't help nodding in praise. I pursed my mouth and sat up straight, but I still didn't feel sad or reluctant in my heart.
At this time, Jinglan couldn't help but lean closer to me and whispered in my ear: "Princess, after bidding farewell to the emperor in Hanyuan Hall today, what did King Yan say in your ear, which made you so happy in the blink of an eye?"
Her words stunned me, and I tried to recall the farewell ceremony when I bowed my head in the Hanyuan Palace. The newborn morning sun sprinkled to the magnificent palace, and the trail on the red carpet led straight to Qingxiao Gate, the red sun was brilliant on the way, Shen Zhan and Jing Hong personally took me to the Luan car in the sound of hundreds of officials. The moment before boarding the carriage, Shen Zhan tightened my hand, and when I turned my head, I seemed to fall into the whirlpool of his eyes, and a few peach blossom petals from nowhere floated into my hands and landed on his black sideburns.
- I'm going to send you away this time, but I want you to come back as soon as possible.
Shen Zhan stayed in my ears for only a few seconds, a sentence with few numbers, and I think if my mind was not as upside down as it used to be, I would remember it for a long time. No matter what happened, he still understood me.
I took out the concentric knot I had with me and asked Aunt Xi, "Auntie, do you look good at this? ”
Aunt Jiaoxi never expected that I would take the initiative to provoke her, raised her eyelids and looked at me strangely, and carefully looked at the concentric knot in my hand for a long time, and said unhurriedly: "If the princess wants to give it to her future husband, it will be beautiful." But this Pixiu in the middle is afraid that he is a little angry. ”
"Angry?" Jinglan asked in surprise. I looked down and carefully rubbed every line on Pixiu, not taking her words to heart. This journey is dangerous and unknown, but I clearly feel that I am getting closer and closer to Qi Ye.
The team stopped to rest five days after leaving Chang'an City, and Youzhou Thorn Shi came early to greet him. The Heavenly Family and the Turks are scheduled to welcome the princess at Yumen Pass, and Youzhou undertakes to welcome the princess in order to show the dignity and majesty of the princess.
The guards and the envoys took the lead, and the seventy-two palace ladies followed, and I sat in the splendid luan under the supervision of my aunt, and when I got off the sedan chair, the dowry behind me meandered all the way but did not stop, and there was no end in sight.
I was helped out of the carriage by Jinglan and looked up at the majestic Jade Gate Pass in front of me through the red veil. The plains are far away, the high blue sky and white clouds cover the black city walls, and the strong sun scorches the loess, creating a colorful circle of light at the pass.
"The scenery of Youzhou is really magnificent and majestic, it can be said that it is better to see than to hear. "After days of tiring driving, my heart suddenly brightened when I saw the scenery in front of me, and I exhaled a big breath in my chest, and I couldn't help but praise the scenery in front of me.
Lord Youzhou Assassin King respectfully held his hand and replied: "Youzhou is just a border city, thanks to the princess's refusal to give up, but it is not as prosperous and rich as Chang'an. ”
I rubbed the bracelet on my wrist and said another noncommittally: "How far is Liangzhou from here?"
Lord Wang was stunned at first, although he couldn't figure out why I asked him like this, but he still answered honestly: "Back to the princess, Yumen Pass is the junction of Youzhou and Liangzhou, and then dozens of miles to the west, it is the boundary of Liangzhou." He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of me, "If you go north, all the way up and out of the fortress, you will enter the Turks." ”
Liangzhou, Turkic. They're all so close to me at the moment. I felt a mixture of excitement and cringe for no reason. The hometown is timid, and the ** who said this would not have thought that I would have left my hometown at this time but still have such timidity.
Admittedly, such timidity will not stay with me for long. It was Lord Night who arranged me and my relatives in the palace of Princess Jinyun, which had been repaired earlier. In the year of the eldest princess of Chengyang and her relatives, it is also the road I am now on, Mu Zong feels sorry for his beloved daughter, and does not hesitate to build a mansion for the eldest princess on the road to build a rest. As its name suggests, Jinyun Princess's Mansion is one of the largest and most gorgeous, located in the endless Yumen Pass, bordering the plains and deserts in the north, Qiongtai Yuyu, and high attics. One of them is like a mirage.
I marveled at the poverty and luxury of my imperial grandfather, who was able to build a mansion that was only used for resting to a splendid one, comparable to that of a royal palace. But when my aunt told me that tomorrow morning, a Turkic welcoming procession would come to greet me, I immediately lost the leisure to look around and explore the unique structure of the Jinyun Mansion.
Jinglan grabbed my sleeve, avoided Aunt Jiaoxi, who had been staring at her behind her, and whispered to me, "Princess, how to arrange Changsheng?"
I glanced back at Aunt Jiaoxi, who was hidden in the night, and whispered, "Let him come to my room." ”
"Princess, tomorrow you will get up early to get dressed, and the old slave will sleep with you tonight. As soon as my words fell, as if I had expected it, Aunt Jiaoxi's voice sounded impartially at this moment, and her expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
I chuckled in my heart, and immediately became vigilant and resistant. I couldn't refuse Aunt Xi's words, and I was in a silent stalemate with her for a few seconds, only to find that she was still unmoved.
"Okay, you rest outside the hall, I sleep lightly at night, and my aunt must not make a noise. ”
"Yes. Aunt Jiaoxi answered, and walked in front to guide me, "The princess will come with me, and the dormitory will be here." ”
