6. Northern Qi Will
The king of Lanling was forced to be placed and armed.
The city defense in this Jinyang City is so poor that not only his deputy general can't look past it, but even the city chief officer can't look past it. After asking the county guard, the two men forcibly pulled the king of Lanling to the side of the city wall to modify the defense, so as not to go out of the basket again in the future.
The moment Yun Yao lifted the curtain of the car, King Lanling just walked to the edge of the city wall and glanced at this side.
He didn't remember the girl anymore, after all, the events of that day, King Lanling only did it occasionally. What will happen to that girl in the future, naturally there will be people in Jinyang City to worry about. He is a coach who has rushed to the aid of the state, and he really has no time to take care of it.
Therefore, the king of Lanling only glanced at it, then turned his head sideways again, and discussed the defense of the city with the deputy general. Until the carriage rumbled out of Jinyang City and rumbled away, he never looked at it.
Yun Yao lowered the curtain and lay down in the carriage again with her eyes closed.
The eldest lady patted her cheek lightly and reprimanded, "What is it?" If Father is here, he will teach you another lesson. Who did you see out there? ”
Yun Yao muttered, "King Lanling." ”
"Who?!" The eldest lady was startled, and she also picked up the curtain and glanced at it, and then she shuddered, and quickly put down the curtain, covered it tightly, and muttered, "Sure enough, it has a blue face and fangs, and the rumors are honest and don't deceive me......" She glanced sideways at Yun Yao, and sighed again: "You, you, why are you so ignorant?" That man's life is in trouble, and if he sees too much, he will inevitably ......"
Yun Yao looked at her sister and said softly, "King Lanling is the one who saved Jinyang City. ”
The eldest lady choked, then poked her head again, shook her head and sighed repeatedly.
Sure enough, he is still an ignorant child.
――――――――――
About half a month later, they came to Yecheng, the capital of Northern Qi.
The carriage rumbled into the gate of Yecheng, and was picked up by two servants who had been waiting at the gate early. Yun Yao looked curiously at this prosperous city of Northern Qi and felt that everything was very fresh. The clothes on the people are quite bright, mostly ochre yellow or dark purple, and some are blue or plain white. There are many restaurants in the market, wine shops, and clothing shops, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.
"Nowadays, nobles love hairpins." A servant spoke.
"The two ladies came all the way from Jinyang City, and they should have rested in the courtyard and then went to see Lang Jun. But the matter is urgent, and it really can't be delayed at all. Another servant explained. But he never said what it was.
In front of a palatial mansion, the car slowly stopped.
The two servants jumped out of the carriage and went to the house to call for someone. After a while, two grandmothers and four clever girls came out of the house, and welcomed the two girls one after the other. As for the people they brought from Jinyang City, they stayed in the car and waited, and there was no need to enter the house.
The maids who came with Jinyang City had to stay in the car obediently and wait for the girls' orders.
After Yun Yao and the others were taken to the mansion, they were surrounded by a group of maids and came to the front of the main hall. There were two people sitting in the hall, a man and a woman, both middle-aged. The men looked somewhat similar to their fathers, presumably the patriarch and the chief's wife mentioned in the letter.
The eldest lady took half a step forward, respectfully saluted each of them, and said, "Uncle, uncle." ”
Yun Yao followed the appearance of the eldest lady, and also saluted the two of them, and called her uncle and aunt as she said.
The two men glanced at each other, and there was a slight look of surprise in their eyes. Then the patriarch coughed low and said, "I called you here a few days ago for a will in the palace: His Majesty wants to select two women from the Zheng family of Xingyang to enter the palace, either to marry, or to be female officials, in short, they must stay in Yecheng." And you know the rules of the tribe. ”
The eldest lady replied respectfully. She naturally knows the rules of the clan, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
The lady then said, "Now the ladies of the clan are either married, or they are too young to serve the nobles. The husband thought about it, but only the one in Jinyang City still had two unmarried ladies, so he called you all over. ”
She slowly glanced at the two girls, and said softly: "You two sisters, one of you must enter the palace to accompany you, and the other is the princess of Lanling." ”
After finishing the sentence, the audience was shocked.
The eldest lady was stunned and said, "Lan, Princess Lanling? Why Princess Lanling? "Even if the clan wants to marry, there is no need to choose the king of Lanling!
Madame sighed and said: "King Ande, King Yuyang, as well as King Feng Yi and King Hanyang from Emperor Shenwu, plus the King of Nanyang from today, have all been discussed with the scholars of Chen County, Langya County, Yunzhong County, and Boling County, and the concubine will come out of these scholars." The king of Guangning and the king of Hejian have already set the concubine, and there is no possibility of change. So ......"
The patriarch also said: "The clan wants to leave a place in the palace, this has been agreed a long time ago. But the in-laws of the scholar clan, the royal nobles, and the position of a harem are inevitably insufficient. Therefore, one of you two sisters must marry the king of Lanling as a concubine. ”
His gaze stayed on Yun Yao for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Is the second lady good?" ”
If the second lady is already well, then this matter is very happy.
The eldest lady's face turned a little blue, and she said abruptly: "My sister is indeed well." ”
The fierce name of King Lanling, she had heard of it for a long time. In this world, it is good to marry anyone, and you can't marry this Lanling King as your wife. Her friends also privately reminded that if they went to Yecheng, they would definitely avoid King Lanling far away and not have anything to do with him.
But now, now the two sisters......
The eldest lady looked sideways at Yun Yao and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
One of the two sisters was destined to marry the king of Lanling. If she doesn't marry, then, then sister......
But my sister's madness is just right, how can she marry and marry......
The patriarch exchanged a look with his wife, and said, "Your two sisters should discuss it on their own, whoever marries the king of Lanling and who enters the palace to accompany him should always come up with a charter." With that, he and his wife departed, leaving the house to the two sisters.
The eldest lady felt a little tightness in her throat, and her face was a little pale.
Yun Yao turned her head to look at her, after all, she couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Sister, it's better for me to marry King Lanling as a concubine." ”
She knew that the eldest lady had a heart knot, and it was a very strict heart knot.
If the eldest lady marries the king of Lanling...... Yun Yao looked at the eldest lady's pale face, and remembered the rumor that was in her life, so she smiled gently and said, "My sister is afraid that the king of Lanling will have a bad life, but I am not afraid at all." ”
