25. Flower clear shadow red

It takes a long time to travel from Beijing to Nanjing. Wanwan didn't know the waterway, and only after reading the map did she settle down slightly. There are many soldiers on the ship, and she can travel day and night, so she sits on the rose chair in the cabin and watches the sunrise and sunset, forgetting her worries for the time being.

Yu Qiyao said that it would take more than a month to rush in a hurry, but if it was like now, it should be in Zhenjiang in about 20 days.

She turned around to see that there was a disk on the low table, which was the tip of the hair that Xiao You had exchanged for the two eldest sons when she had landed on the shore before. Usually there is no such tribute tea in the palace, the specifications are a little lower, it is not of the highest quality, even if there is, it is packed in a bag and stuffed into the corner of the cage to smoke clothes. Now in a hurry, the princess's delicate body was gone in an instant, she stirred it in the tea pile with her fingers, white and delicate, green clothes, lit a small stove, and could simmer slowly.

She lifted the lid of the pot and threw a pinch of tea into it, "How can I go to Nanjing after arriving in Zhenjiang?" By car or by boat? ”

Yu Qiyao said: "Last year, the overseer was all on the waterway, so he wouldn't be too tired. His Highness did not get seasick, which was no matter how good it was, and the Governor informed the local authorities early, fearing that some waters and rivers would be too narrow for the lucky boats to pass, so he ordered them to build a new painting boat for His Highness's use. ”

To build a new painting boat, it must be luxurious and exquisite, which is Xiao Duo's thoughtfulness, but it is also extravagant. On this trip, the distance between the north and the south is too far, and I can't care about that, I just feel that time flies on the ship. Sometimes when I go out of the cabin, I see that the bow of the lucky ship is too high, and it is a little crazy to walk on the side of the ship, as if standing in the air. Later, it was fine, and when no one was around, he quietly sat on the deck, and quickly stood up, afraid of being discovered by the housekeeper and the housekeeper, and making noise again.

I didn't feel anything else in the past few days to the south, but the weather was much warmer than when I set out. The air in the south was relatively humid, and there was a lot of rain, and it was sunny for six or seven days, when suddenly there was a heavy rain, and it was in the most open part of the water, and the wind carried a faint thunder, and ten thousand rain arrows pierced straight into the water, splashing cascading ripples and echoes half a foot high.

When she was a child, she liked to listen to the sound of flowing water, and often picked up the railing of Duan Hongqiao to watch the white jade dragon spit water. It was the rain that gathered from thousands of culverts in the Forbidden City after the rain, and the sound was amazing, but it was far less magnificent than the sight in front of it.

Wanwan stood in front of the window and sighed: "If you don't leave the Forbidden City for the rest of your life, you will never see this mountain and river...... The emperor should also look around. His voice gradually lowered, and he looked back at Yu Qiyao after a while, "Yu Chengfeng, which position were you in before?" How come I have never met you? ”

Regarding the description of the appearance of the eunuch, there was a joke in the palace before, there are often people in and out of the comprador in the twelve yamen, and the palace gate has to verify the identity, take out the name plate and look at it, the first sentence is that the face is white and beardless, and eight out of ten match. This Yu Qiyao's appearance is almost like that, slightly older than Xiao Duo, with a long face, very gentle eyebrows, and always unhurried and unhurried speech, no matter how urgent the matter, it seems that he can solve it all.

He bowed his hand, looking very formal, "If you go back to Your Highness, after the Dongchang Admiral Jinyi Guard, the minister has been outside to undertake the Zhenfu Division for the governor, so His Royal Highness does not often see the minister." ”

It's not surprising to say this, it's just that the Suppression Division is in charge of reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, etc., and people who are used to doing those jobs can go to the princess's mansion to serve as an honor?

"Come to me, I'm afraid I'm succumbing."

Yu Qiyao's body was half a point shorter, "Don't dare, the minister is the palace servant, and now the eldest princess has surrendered, and the governor can trust the minister, so he sent the minister to take care of His Royal Highness's diet and daily life, the minister is flattered, how dare he say it!" His Royal Highness went to Nanjing, he was not familiar with the place, and the minister had stayed in Jiangnan for three or four years, and there were some faces, in case the palace was useful, he would not panic. ”

Wanwan smiled lightly, no longer said anything else, just squinted and looked into the distance, there was a faint water color in her eyes, not a reflection of waves, but an endless sadness.

Tonghuan asked her about her plans, because she suffered one blow after another before she landed, the person she wanted to marry was scheming, and her brother had the intention of using her as a spy, she lived in the cracks, afraid that she would be overwhelmed.

She looked down at the squirrel, and listened only to the gnawing of the pine nuts, which was very lively. After a long time, he replied: "Since I have arrived in Jinling, the wedding ceremony must be as usual, and the emperor cannot be embarrassed." As for the king of Nanyuan, there is nothing wrong with a deep mind, and the factory minister is also a person who can't see the bottom at a glance. The difference is that the factory minister does not calculate me, but he does the opposite. It can be seen that he is just trying to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and he is bent on treating me as an object of reward. ”

So even if it's not a blind marriage and a dumb marriage, it's useless. If people's hearts can be glimpsed, where do so many resentful couples come from.

The princess has the body of the princess involuntarily, once her marriage is decided, there will almost never be any turnaround, even if the husband and wife are not in harmony, they must do enough superficial articles, after all, Yuwen Liang is a vassal king, not an ordinary inconspicuous official.

Sailing on the canal, there were two rains on the way, which came and went quickly. After the rain, the sky was clear, almost drowning in it, and the lucky boat arrived at Zhenjiang under the clear sky, which was a small city with a stone wall, and a faint sweet and sour smell in the air.

It is a pity that she did not have the opportunity to see it properly, and stayed on the shore for no more than a stick of incense, and then boarded the painting boat under the heavy canopy, swayed, and headed west.

The people of Jiangnan rarely see people coming out of the palace, so the river they pass through is full of people who watch the excitement, rubbing shoulders to the ground, waving to the painting boat with a handkerchief.

Wanwan was a little embarrassed, hid upstairs and didn't want to show up, rubbed the corner of her clothes and asked the copper ring: "They all know that I am married to the king of Nanyuan, the king of Nanyuan has concubines and children, and I am an eldest princess to fill the hole, they will laugh at me, right?" ”

So in the end, I still care, young girls, who doesn't want a perfect marriage? In the past, she became someone else's mother-in-law, which was very embarrassing for her.

She was already wronged enough, and she had to try to widen her arms as much as possible, not to increase her burden. Tonghuan said: "It's not in the way, and it's not in the same house, just like the princes in those palaces, when those two young masters are nephews, it will be." You don't have this in mind before you have it in your head, and you can't be narrow in your mind now. ”

She smiled shyly, "If you don't pick a person, you can do anything; If you have a suspicion, you will naturally pick your nose and eyes. ”

She is honest, she never pretends to be a person, and she doesn't understand why there are so many tricks between people. Now that I have learned the lesson, I am sad, but I am still confused in my head.

From Zhenjiang into Jinling, although the waterway is not far, it is much more cramped than the width of the canal. The royal painting boat is built tall and large, and the pomp is there, and the speed has to be slowed down. After all, the boat used to play in the mountains and rivers cannot be called like a sentry boat. So I went down the river so slowly, and only arrived at Taoyedu three days later. When she got off the boat, she saw that the books had been prepared, and the Dharma fans on both sides of the road were staggered, and her eyes were full of imperial spirit.

The scarlet lantern was held high with a crank, and everyone under the lamp was covered with a layer of rouge. She stood for a moment, and at the end of the road someone came alone, wearing a silk robe, wearing a crown of heaven, and bowed down in front of her, and then straightened up, and her eyes were sparkling, and she was more brilliant than the Jinbo Mountain on her hat.

If it used to be a quiet sea, now it is a jumping spring.

Wanwan looked at him through the barrier, a person who didn't know each other well, because she had a complete prejudice, and she couldn't see him anymore. He saluted her, and she bowed slightly, even if she had passed. According to the rules, he shouldn't be here, there are deacons in the princess's mansion, and a qiē etiquette needs to be done at an auspicious time, and now that the plan has been disrupted, she is a little displeased, and she feels that this person is arrogant and abrupt.

She held the hand of the brass ring forward, and the felt laid out under her feet was soft and soft, as if stepping on the clouds. Ignoring him, and not wanting to say a word, even the corner of his eye quickly retracted.

She is not a girl with a city, so once she rejects people for thousands of miles, she will emanate from every bone and every movement, and chisel it into people's hearts. He knew that she would not read his letters, and he would not even mention him. As for where to start, he carefully inquired, and the result was that the fault was in the unreliable mouth of the sound pavilion. Knowing this, she should not have been kept after the edict of marriage was promulgated, and these twists and turns were born in vain.

made such a scheming force her to fall, and she should be angry, although it was a little unkind, but it was the fastest and most direct way, and he still did not regret it. He looked at her back, expecting that this time it might not be easy to deal with the aftermath. How did he call for wind and rain in Nanyuan, and in the face of this proud princess, he couldn't straighten his waist after all. Even if they are husband and wife, they are never equal, there is always one party who is strong and one party who learns to show weakness.

He smiled bitterly, hurriedly followed, and personally opened the sedan curtain on the side, waiting for her to get on the sedan chair. When she put down the curtain, she wanted to look at her, but she didn't dare, but she turned her face away arrogantly, probably not even thinking it was worth looking at him more.

Luan Yi was still silent, except for the rustling of clothes and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground.

He opened the way for her, but he almost didn't give her a sedan chair, but unfortunately she didn't appreciate it. The weather in March, the night was still a little cool, he turned his head to look at the side of the road, the pear blossoms were haloed by the reflection of the lanterns, and for a moment they couldn't distinguish from the peach blossoms.

The honor guard of welcoming relatives meandered a few miles away, and the princess descended into the princess's mansion, and did not need to deign to his vassal palace, let alone enter the family temple and worship the ancestral hall. The most complicated procedures were all completed in the palace, and all he had to do was fulfill his duty as a courtier, because even if the eldest princess descended, her identity must still be looked up to.

Fortunately, everything in the princess's mansion is ready-made, and the time is just right. Ordinary people have a high hall to worship, and when they come here, they worship heaven and earth is husband and wife, and then the princess enters the cave room, gives a big belt, and wears a ring, that honor, how many people are poor in their lives are unimaginable.

This is considered to be married, as if it is in the clouds. All the energy is spent on the road, and when it comes to the actual salute, it seems that it is not so important. Wanwan sat on the bed, fortunately she also slept on the Babu bed in the palace, so she wouldn't worry about the lack of a fire kang. But the mattress of this bed was too thick, and she didn't like the fancy bed frame. Touching the quilt, the piles of dates and peanuts made her helpless.

"Xiao You." She frowned, "Sweep the bed clean......"

Seeing that Xiao You was looking for a broom like a fly without a head, Mama Jingqi hurriedly stopped her, turned around and said, "My master, this is a good fortune, I wish you an early birth to a precious son." I had to wait for the prince to come in and drink a glass of wine, eat the dumplings of my children and grandchildren, and sweep the bed when I was about to settle down. You're yelling at this moment, don't make people laugh. ”

She was unsatisfied, she always looked sullen, she thought that after so much time, she would not be so ungraceful, but she could see him, and she still scratched her heart. She can accept that he is boring and mediocre, and she can't accept that he is calculating. is eight years older than her, so if you think about it, wouldn't you be able to get rid of an old treacherous and cunning man!

She was full of impatience, there were footsteps outside the door, she glanced at it, and a beautiful silhouette fell on the silk yarn, and the people in the new room immediately raised their voices and shouted: "The groom is official, eat together, respect and humility, respect and humility, and go on a blind date." ”
