Chapter 16: Changyi and the Kiss
When Cheng Yi arrived at the border of Zhao Yue, someone from Yue Kingdom secretly came to answer him, and no one knew where he had gone after he said goodbye to Huo Xun.
Huo Xun decided to follow the original route, and did not detour to the capital of Yueguo, and the matter of Yan Guo's escort of Cheng Yi was not hidden from Yueguo, and even handed over the paperwork, Cheng He, who had already aimed at the target, was confused by this outbreak, and sent people to ambush Yanguo's honor guard on the way, Huo Xun encountered an ambush, but he was not angry, and generously let them search, those people accidentally found that there was no figure of Cheng Yi, Cheng He panicked, this time, he began to blatantly turn over and over in Yueguo, and no longer hide his responsibility for killing his father and killing the king, Just to find Cheng Yi and get rid of him.
Huo Xun dashing and took the honor guard of Yan Kingdom through the territory of Yue Kingdom, Cheng He hated it so much, but he was helpless.
Just today, it is the birthday of Princess Jingwu and Lu, and the situation of the decline of the Xia clan is getting heavier and heavier, and no one cares about the rites of a princess of the clan.
Yan Guo's guard of honor entered the palace of Changyi in the early morning of this day, sick and thin, and the Son of Heaven, who was already a sixtieth birthday, came to greet the guard of honor in person, and treated his grandchildren Huo Ling and Huo Xun with respect, and even Yu Jue, who was only a mere proton, had no shelf of heaven.
Huo Ling saw that she had never seen it, it was the grandfather of the Son of Heaven, and he looked so haggard, she felt very pitiful, the Son of Heaven, the supreme position, is indeed such a situation, when is the end of this troubled world?
Yan State has not had a war in recent years, but the outside vassal states can not stop, Yue State annexed Song State, Zhao State defeated the Lu State, three years later counterattacked Lu State, and finally incorporated Lu State into the territory, Qi State was greatly injured after the defeat of Yan State, and was harassed by neighboring countries, and Qin State, which seemed to be far away from strife, was harassed by the foreign enemy Xiongnu like Yan State.
War, let the Son of Heaven lose the kingship, humble survival, let the people suffer and live in fear, when is the end?
"Princess Jingyue and the two princes, please."
The old Xia King hunched his back slightly, and led the way with a few attendants with irritable expressions.
"Your Majesty, you are the grandfather of the second brother and Ling'er, and Prince Yujue is also your grandchild, just call us by name..."
Huo Ling couldn't help but say to the rickety back, the royal robe of the Son of Heaven looked old, and it collapsed loosely on the body of the old Xia King.
"Oh, out of the way, out of the way..."
King Xia glanced up at Huo Ling, and said cautiously that it was okay.
"Hey, you guys, lead the way!"
Huo Xun shouted at the inner attendants, who immediately trembled as if they were frightened, paced carefully, and led the way in front, and then he stepped forward to help King Xia, King Xia nodded, and Yu Jue also stepped forward and stood on the other side to support the old King Xia.
Huo Ling smiled and silently followed behind them.
In this ceremony in the main hall, only King Lao Xia and his concubines participated, as well as Huo Ling.
Taking a seat in front of the low desk, Huo Ling touched the table legs of the low desk in front of her, and a small piece of black paint fell off, revealing the wood color inside, and the lacquer plate on the table also broke a corner, and she sighed.
At this time, several old musicians played the beautiful music of the chime, and at the entrance of the main hall, a young woman with red makeup slowly paced, her hair was scattered, and she was a little shy with her head, Huo Ling looked at her fixedly, like her mother, and her mother was like this when she was young.
"Yuan'er sees her father and queen mother, and you see all the mothers, Princess Jingyue, Prince Huo Xun, and Prince Yujue."
Her voice was soft, like her soft figure.
She knelt on the ground and saluted everyone present one by one, and when she finally saluted Yu Jue, she raised her head and saw that Yu Jue was looking in a certain direction opposite, like a contemplative look, like a tea, like a stone inkstone.
She only glanced at it, then bowed her head again and got up gently.
The queen nodded, got up slowly, took a solid golden hairpin like a gray hairpin from the maid's hand, and stepped forward to gently pull her hair.
"Yuan'er, you are in time today, your mother went early, and her mother saluted on her behalf, from now on, you will take on the glory and responsibility of the princess of the clan, like your eldest sister..."
The queen whispered.
Huo Ling looked at the queen's face, isn't the eldest sister of Princess Jingwu Ji Yuan her mother.
"Yuan'er remembered."
Princess Jingwu visited Huo Ling in the post house after the ceremony, chatted about some literature and poetry, and was very happy when she chatted, but there was a look of disappointment in her eyes when she left.
Huo Ling and the others stayed in Changyi for only three days before they said goodbye to the Son of Heaven, and the still powerful guard of honor had just left the gate of Changyi and had not gone far, when they saw Huo Xun and Yu Jue and Wei Budo riding horses and carrying a carriage that looked quite ordinary out of the gate of Changyi.
In the suburbs where the warbler flies and the grass grows, and the sun warms the sun, Huo Ling got out of the carriage and sat on the edge of the carriage, his feet swinging outside, as if dancing with the wind, while Huo Xun and Yu Jue both rode horses and followed the rhythm of the carriage slowly, and Wei Budo followed them far behind.
"Perhaps, I should learn to ride a horse, so that I can ride my horse on this green field!"
Huo Ling faced the wind, raised her arms high and stretched her waist, her smile slowly focused on Yu Jue from the green grass and blue sky in front of her, he was wearing white clothes today, why didn't he see him in black and holding a sword when they first met?
When Yu Jue heard what she said, she gently rode her horse to the side of the traveling carriage, and suddenly hugged Huo Ling and put it on her chest, and the two rode together.
"I'll take you!"
Yu Jue said, raising the whip in his right hand, "Drive!" ”
"Hey!"
Huo Xun realized that he had been left out in the cold, Yu Jue was still treating Huo Ling like that, and just about to have a seizure, the two of them had already gone away, he pouted, "Alas! Alone~"
。
The horse galloped out like an arrow, Huo Ling didn't react, she was already tightly held in her arms by Yu Jue, the faint smell of Yu Jue's body filled Huo Ling's side, her heart was beating rapidly, her lips were tightly pursed, and she was silent.
"What about your courage?"
Yu Jue asked in Huo Ling's ear as he rode his horse and whipped his whip.
Huo Ling shook his head slightly, courage?
What does Jade Jue refer to?
"The princess's last little poem to Jue..."
Yu Jue reminded softly.
"I..."
Huo Ling was speechless, realizing something, and didn't know how to answer.
"I have the answer..."
Yu Jue said, tilted his head slightly, and kissed the corner of Huo Ling's lips, Huo Ling's eyes widened, but the cool temperature on his lips burst out with fiery love threads, spreading on the two of them, the horses galloped rapidly, and the people on the horses only held the rough reins in their hands.
The sunlight ghosted, reflected on the cyan lawn.
