Chapter 4 The Prince of Protecting Flowers
At the same time, Helian Jialu and Konglin, who were following the envoy of the Emperor of the Wei Kingdom, had entered the city through the east gate of the Wei Capital, and slowed down on the east-west streets of the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the three men and three horsemen were about to march to the palace tent, the messenger said as he went:
"The county lord of Jialu, the emperor has instructed, the county lord has a long journey, please rest in the palace tonight, and then go to the royal court early tomorrow morning to meet you. ”
"Thank you, Lord for taking care of you along the way, everything is arranged by the emperor. Helian Jialu nodded and said.
"The county lord is too polite, this is a matter for his subordinates. The emperor has sent someone to take care of the accommodation of the county lord in the palace, and the two of them can do their own thing. His Majesty took his leave first, replied to the emperor, and came back tomorrow morning to lead the way for the county lord. ”
"Good. Adults walk slowly. ”
After the envoy left, Helian Jialu looked at the empty presence and said:
"It's still early, shall we go directly to the palace to rest?"
"Although it coincides with the wedding of the second princess, after all, the war is ahead, and the situation in the city is still gloomy, so the county lord should still keep a low profile, and make other arrangements after meeting the emperor tomorrow. ”
"Well, I'll listen to you. ”
Kong Lin immediately turned over and jumped off the horse, intending to help Helian Jialu dismount. At this time, only a string of hurried horses' hooves could be heard from far and near, and a group of men and horses came rapidly from east to west, and the people in the streets took refuge. However, an old man avoided it because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, and he was about to die under the horse's hooves.
"Brother Lin!"
At the same time as Helianjia spoke, his footsteps had already moved, and in the blink of an eye, he flew between Lao Suo and the horse team, blocking Lao Suo behind him, and at the same time forcing the horses at the front of the horse team to stop with his excellent horsemanship. Then, the front hooves of the whole team of horses were raised high, and a group of horses suddenly stopped in place.
Due to the abrupt halt of their mounts, two members of the team lost their center of gravity and fell from their horses in embarrassment. At the same time, Kong Lin had already helped Lao Su to retreat to a safe place on the side of the road, and retreated back to Helian Jialu's side.
Things happened so hastily that the scene couldn't help but be quiet for a moment.
The next moment, the man led by the horse team opened his mouth coldly and said:
"Good kung fu, good guts! For the first time in this Vidu, no one dared to stop my horse. ”
"I'm just here to save people, no offense, please forgive me. Kong Lin replied with an indifferent expression and a calm tone.
At this time, the man's eyes were suddenly attracted by Helian Jialu, and based on Helian Jialu's stunning appearance and the palace not far ahead, the man speculated:
"You are the daughter of King Mingjun, Helian Jialu. ”
"Do you know me?" asked Helian Jialu after thinking for a moment, making sure that she had not seen the person in front of her.
"The county lord of Helian has indeed lived up to the reputation of 'Flower of the Prairie', no wonder the third emperor brother is infatuated with you. ”
"Are you...... The big prince mushroom. Helian Jialu was shocked when he reflected his identity from the man's words.
Hearing this, his expression changed slightly. And the mushroom is also wary of the air presence.
"The Mingjun Mansion is full of talents, I thought Yelu was already a good player, and I didn't want to have a rare master like you. Mushroom and Void looked at each other, and there was a hint of inquiry in their eyes.
"The eldest prince is overrated. I just like horses, so I know a little about horses, and I don't dare to be a master. ”
"Then you know, I have always liked people with superb martial arts, so I also have a little experience in distinguishing the level of a person's martial arts. Being too humble often means being proud or trying to hide it, but you don't know which one you are?"
Kong Lin looked directly at the mushroom, and there were sparks flashing in the sights of the two, and when the sparks were about to lead to a battle, I heard that the third prince Ge Sheng, who had arrived today, happened to ride a horse and walked into the field of vision of several people.
"Ge Sheng. Helian Jialu saw Ge Sheng's figure at this time, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.
When Mushroom saw Ge Sheng, her pupils shrank.
I saw Ge Sheng nodding to Helian Jialu from afar, and then slowed down the pace of his mount, and at a glance, he had glimpsed the general clue through the tense atmosphere of the mushroom and the empty lin.
"The eldest brother is in good spirits and has gained a lot. Ge Sheng was relieved, but he didn't mention anything about what was in front of him, but stared at the horse team behind him, and the whip casually pointed to the results of the group's hunting on the outskirts of the city.
"As a brother, you can't get as good as the three emperor brothers, and you can give you whatever you want. If you want to eat game, you have to catch it yourself. Mushroom said with a pun, and then turned his gaze to Helian Jialu, "The third emperor brother is already with good wine and delicious food in his hands on weekdays, and now he has a beauty by his side, which can be said to be the envy of others." ”
The eldest brother laughed. Ge Sheng looked indifferent, not distinguishing between joy and anger.
Mushroom was bored for a while, smiled, and pulled the reins to lead everyone away. When passing in front of Konglin, Mushroom did not forget to lean over and ask:
"What's your name?"
"Jerodin. Sora Lin was prepared in his heart, so he replied.
"What do you have to do with Jerod?"
"We are brothers. ”
"Jerod Am ...... Hmph, I remember. Furry's eyes were bottomless, her eyes flashed, and she said to Helian Jialu on the side, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany me." ”
"The eldest prince walks slowly. Hearing this, Helian Jialu pulled the reins and pulled the horse back a few steps to make way for Gilly and the others.
As soon as the mushroom walked away, Ge Sheng glanced in the direction of Konglin, and then fixed on Helian Jialu, and then spoke:
"What's going on, why are you in conflict with the Great Emperor Brother?"
"They went on a rampage and almost killed the old man, so I asked Brother Lin to come to the rescue, not wanting to annoy the eldest prince. "It's good that you're here, otherwise I wouldn't have known how it would have ended." ”
"The eldest brother has always held grudges, and when he looked at Yelu Lin just now, it was obvious that he wanted to destroy it. Ge Sheng glanced at Konglin, and then said to Helian Jialu, "You have offended the eldest emperor, and I have hindered him from breathing this out, and I am afraid that the situation will become more and more difficult to ease." ”
"Then how should we spend our next days in the city......" Helian Jia frowned slightly, biting her lip and said.
"As long as you find a backer who is tougher than the eldest brother. Ge Sheng said.
"Tougher than the eldest prince, isn't it the emperor?"
"Father, for all sorts of reasons, may not be able to shelter you. Ge Sheng said it very tactfully.
"Who else can ...... besides the emperor," Helian Jialu said, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, "You're talking about the queen." ”
"It's the Queen Mother. Ge Sheng nodded and said, "The father and the emperor can always attach a little importance to the opinions of the queen mother." Moreover, the eldest brother is a concubine, and the queen mother still has some deterrent power towards the eldest brother. ”
"But I've only seen the queen once, why should she be my enemy of the eldest prince?"
"You're wrong. The queen mother is not an enemy of the eldest brother for you. It's because you're opposed to the eldest brother, so the queen mother will put you in our camp and protect you. ”
Hearing this, Helian Jialu turned his head and glanced at Konglin, as if asking for his opinion. Seeing this, Kong Lin bowed to Ge Sheng and said:
"I also ask the third prince to introduce the county lord to meet the queen. ”
"It's easy, I'll arrange it. Ge Sheng responded.
"Thank you, Ge Sheng. Helian Jialu then whispered.
"You're welcome. Ge Sheng smiled gently, "The first time I saw you, I said that your smile can determine my mood and happiness." The only thing I can do is to keep you well. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, the messenger prepared the carriage and horses to welcome Helian Jialu and Konglin to the royal tent. At the same time that Helian Jialu entered the royal court to meet the emperor, the third prince Ge Sheng moved to the queen's tent. At this moment, the second princess Tingyu was talking to the queen in the tent.
"Mother, will you miss me after I leave Vidu?"
"How can you not want to. Although the queen mother has three children, you are the only girl, and you are the intimate padded jacket of the queen mother. ”
"Fortunately, Ge Sheng and Xun Qi are very filial, and I am relieved to have them take care of the queen mother by their side. ”
"After all, boys are not more attentive than girls, and it is always inconvenient to talk about themselves. Besides, the two brothers should not stay with the queen mother often, but should share the worries of your father and the emperor more. ”
"I just hope that this trip with my relatives will make my father feel a little more distressed, and I will be more grateful for the virtue of my mother, and I will be able to take care of my younger brothers a little more. ”
"How many times has the queen mother prevented your father from accepting another concubine, although he obeyed the queen's wishes, he blamed me in his heart after all. It's ridiculous and lamentable, the queen mother and the concubine have been fighting for half a lifetime, but they still can't resist your father's favor to the concubine. ”
"Don't say that, the queen mother. In the future, you and your father will be more considerate and quarrel less, husband and wife, in the end, the original partner is the most satisfactory. ”
"This was originally the queen mother's order to tell you, but you have used it to excuse me. The queen chuckled and shook her head, changing the topic, "Your family business, although it is a family affair, was decided in order to stabilize many tribes in the north, but the king of the Qiangbei tribe is indeed handsome and talented, and he has a love for you at first sight, I believe you can live a harmonious and beautiful life." ”
"Well, Taka would be a good husband. Don't worry about the queen mother. ”
As soon as Tingyu's voice fell, he saw a corner of the curtain of the big tent, and then Ge Sheng flashed into the big tent and strode over.
"Queen Mother, Imperial Sister. You're all here. ”
"The queen mother is talking to your imperial sister about Taka, the king of Qiangbei. How's the wedding going?"
"It's almost ready. Taka said, just waiting to welcome the imperial sister Fengyan. ”
"Well, Tingyu's marriage has been decided. The queen patted Ting Yu's hand, turned her gaze to Ge Sheng and said, "The next thing the queen mother has to worry about is you and Xun Qi." ”
"Mother, my marriage ...... Don't be in a hurry to think about it. ”
"Why aren't you in a hurry? Who are you thinking in your heart, the queen mother and the father are very clear. It's better to take the opportunity of the county lord of the Helian family to come to Weidu to watch the ceremony this time, and settle your affairs. ”
"Although the son likes Helian Jialu, the son should not marry her. ”
"Could it be that the county lord of Helian already has a place in his heart?" asked Tingyu.
"Being a princess is a great blessing for a woman. Someone my son likes, I won't let her marry someone else. The queen then said.
"The queen mother and the royal sister misunderstood. It's none of Jialu's business. Ge Sheng tried his best to defend Helian Jialu and said, "It's really because the Helian family is very popular, if the son marries someone from the Helian family, with the strength of the queen mother's family and the Helian family, no one will dare to compete with the queen mother, but at the same time, the status of the Helian family will also be doubled, does the queen mother think that the father will let such a thing happen? The son didn't want to be the one who made his father jealous and guarded, and he wanted to protect Helian Jialu. ”
"You are infatuated with Helian Jialu, you said today not to marry her, so one day when Helian Jialu is surrounded by other caring people, how will you deal with yourself?"
"The queen mother needs not worry. Even if we don't decide on a family affair, the Helian family must be our people. Today, on the first day of Jialu's entry into the city, she had already made her hostile position clear with the eldest emperor, and I was worried that Jialu was in danger because of me. ”
"Since she also knows how to repay your affection, then the queen mother will naturally try her best to keep her safe during this period. ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Would you like to see her?"
"You don't have to meet in person. All the queen mother wants to see is her future daughter-in-law. ”
"Don't worry, I know it. ”
