Chapter 5 Departure
The sky has just dawned, the smoky warm tent in the Jingfei Pavilion, and Huo Ling, who is still wearing a bed, is already sitting in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mandarin pattern bronze mirror, constantly practicing smiling, the corners of her mouth hook up and fall, hook up and fall, after a while, she brushed her waist-length hair from the back of her forehead to her shoulders, and gently combed it with a comb made of mutton fat jade in her right hand.
Marrying Zhao Guo like the eldest sister?
Marrying a man you've never met?
Her combing movement slowed down, and suddenly she remembered the jade prince who was proud of the sword in the bamboo forest, her right hand stopped, put the mutton fat jade comb on the mirror platform, got up and walked to the window, both hands pushed open the window at once, and the morning sun on the horizon instantly filled the entire dormitory.
The autumn harvest festival begins at noon, the location is not far from the Zen platform on the outskirts of Dashicheng, just arrived at the palace, the palace road between the second gate and the first door in the Dashi Palace, the ceremonial officials have prepared the guard of honor, the guards are lined up on both sides, the courtiers gather on the right side, occasionally three or three in twos and twos to meet the ears, and the foreign envoys who come to observe the festival are on the left, a country together, the envoys of different countries are holding their heads high, holding the envoys made of sheep felt, and no one pays attention to who stands.
And Yu Jue ...... He stood in the middle of the crowd on the right, like a dusty jade, thrown in the sand, dull, but he could perceive the difference.
Huo Xun took the lead and walked out of the second palace gate with a few uniformed guards, wearing a black robe secretly embroidered with dragon python gold patterns, and pinned a piece of white jade jade pendant to his waist, high-spirited and heroic, he took the white horse in the hands of the commander of the forbidden army, took a leap, and was already sitting on the horseback, looking back, half of his handsome face was half in the shadows and half dyed with sun.
Immediately afterwards, King Yan slowly walked out of the second palace gate on the frame pulled by four white horses, the prince, the third prince, and the queen Mrs. Shen all arrived after that, only to see a guard pull out a carriage, behind the palace gate, the young woman moved over, Huo Ling was dressed in a bright red dress, dancing sleeves to cover, and Qimeng and another maid followed behind her, leading the long back hem of her dress.
Her long hair was carefully bent into a beautiful bun, held by a white hosta, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, into the most beautiful smile, and the courtiers below began to discuss, "Silent and silent, slender mirror"
, I have heard that Princess Jingyue has this reputation, but she lives in the harem, and no foreign minister has ever seen her appearance, I thought it was nothing more than a rumor in the market, but when I saw it today, she really had a slender temperament.
Huo Ling walked to the carriage, only to find that there was no pedal, and she looked at the guard next to the carriage only to find that he was trembling slightly.
"Why aren't there pedals?"
I don't know what to do, Huo Ling also asked the guard who was trembling slightly in a panic.
The guard fluttered and knelt on the ground, "Subordinate... The subordinates forgot about it..."
Huo Ling looked up at King Yan on the frame not far ahead, Huo Qi noticed what was happening, his eagle-like eyes aimed at Yu Jue in the crowd, and slowly spoke, "Since there is no pedal, it is better for Prince Yu Jue to help serve the princess in the car." ”
Huo Ling was very unbelievable when she heard her father's words, she stared at King Yan in surprise, and King Yan actually nodded at her, she was puzzled.
Hearing King Yan's arrangement, Yu Jue saluted King Yan from afar, slowly walked through the row of guards in front of him, and walked to the carriage, in front of Huo Ling, he didn't look at Huo Ling, and was about to kneel down, when an envoy from the Qi State snorted lightly.
"King,"
He bowed, "Although Prince Yu Jue is a proton, he is the fourth prince of our Qi Kingdom, how can Prince Yu Jue stoop down to serve a princess in Yan Kingdom." What the king did was too much! ”
This envoy of the Qi State spoke fiercely, and his face was full of indignation, he raised his head and his hands behind his back, and provoked King Yan with an extremely disrespectful posture.
Huo Qi glanced at the envoy of the Qi State and chuckled.
"Doctor Tian, it is your country that says that there is no objection to Prince Yu Jue being a slave and hostage in Yan Kingdom, back then, it was still Dr. Tian who sent Prince Yu Jue to Yan Kingdom, why don't you remember it today?"
After Huo Qi said this, the audience was silent, Huo Xun raised his eyes to see Huo Lingzheng clenching his fists tightly, staring at Yu Jue without turning his eyes, and Yu Jue's usual white clothes were wrapped, and there was still a smile on his face that did not distinguish between true and false, and his hands were naturally clasped in front of him, quietly listening to the conversation between the envoys of Qi and King Yan.
The crown prince Huo Chong also noticed them, and he gently rode his horse to King Yan's side.
"Father, if you delay for a long time, you will miss the auspicious time."
"Oh, what time is it?"
"Before the time comes, there will be only an hour."
Doctor Tian went crazy with anger, still maintaining that arrogant posture, King Yan signaled to the commander of the forbidden army, and immediately, two guards of the forbidden army stepped forward to suppress Doctor Tian, who was not convinced and shouted loudly.
"King, I am an envoy of the Qi Kingdom, and I can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"Okay, the Lone King has fulfilled your righteousness!"
Huo Qi nodded and said, and then, the two forbidden army guards pressed Doctor Tian and walked towards the palace gate.
"King Yan! King Yan! You can't kill me, I'm an envoy of the Qi Kingdom! To kill me is to be the enemy of the Qi country!! ”
In an instant, there was a roar outside the palace gate, and there was no sound.
The birds were silent, the courtiers looked frightened, and the foreign envoys also changed their posture of holding their heads high not long ago, and they all lowered their heads, Huo Qi didn't speak again, as if waiting for something.
Huo Ling was completely stunned by the sudden change, she looked around at everyone present, the eldest brother was riding a horse beside his father, the two looked so similar at this time, and even their expressions were a little more similar, the second brother was as indifferent as before, fiddling with the jade pendant on his waist, and surrounded the carriage of his mother, she believed that no one could see what kind of expression her mother in the car had at this moment, and on the other carriage, Shen Niangniang lifted the curtain and looked at the jade jue in front of her with pity, and the jade jue ...... Yu Jue still kept smiling, his hands drooped, he lifted his robe, and knelt straight under the gaze of everyone or peeping or looking.
"Princess, please ......"
With that, he leaned down and curled up together, as if he were stepping on his feet.
Huo Ling smiled reluctantly, looking at the white figure leaning down in front of him, the white was so dazzling, Ling'er's nails seemed to have been clenched into the palm of his hand.
Time seemed to stand still for a long time...... "Father, such a lowly person is not worthy of being a daughter's footstep!" ”
Huo Ling gritted his teeth and said this, as if there were faint tears rolling in his eyes.
Huo Xun heard Huo Ling's words, he straightened his posture, and also rode to King Yan's side, Huo Chong saw Huo Xun riding his horse over, he glanced at King Yan and moved away.
"Father, there is no pedal, it's the guard's fault, when the time comes, just beat the guard with dozens of military sticks and drive him out of the palace, this Yujue prince, but a lowly proton from another country, where is it worthy of Ling'er as a footstep, don't be embarrassed for Ling'er."
Huo Xun talked a lot, Huo Qi didn't pay attention to his casual appearance, and waited for Huo Ling to put his feet on Yu Jue's back, seeing his father like this, Huo Xun pursed his lips again and walked away boringly.
And the errant guard seemed to be almost spread on the ground.
Turning his face, Huo Xun looked at Huo Ling's eyes but was extremely worried, and his face was not so calm.
"You still don't get out of here!"
Huo Ling basically said this sentence tremblingly, but Yu Jue didn't move.
Huo Ling walked around to the other side of the carriage in a fit of rage.
"Come here!"
Hearing Huo Ling's words, Qimeng, who had been cautious, was a little surprised, and moved to the carriage with small steps.
"Get on your knees!"
Huo Ling said in a positive voice.
"Princess..."
Qimeng whispered, it was incredible, and tears welled up in her eyes at once.
"I'll get you on your knees!!"
Huo Ling raised his voice, Qimeng bit his lip and knelt down, tears could not be stopped, and the sound of whimpering could be heard clearly on this quiet strange palace road.
Everyone was focused on what happened in front of them, for fear of missing a detail, Huo Qi smiled and shook his head, but Huo Xun's gaze at Huo Ling became more and more nervous.
The silk curtain on the queen's carriage seemed to have just been lowered and was being lifted in the wind.
And Mrs. Shen lowered the curtain while touching her tears.
Huo Ling stepped on Qimeng's back and got into the carriage, she was sitting precariously, sighing, and when the curtain was lowered by another maid, she let out a sigh of relief, and twisted her head to the side where Yu Jue was kneeling, how is he now?
Still on your knees?
Faintly hearing the sound of Qimeng sobbing, Huo Ling tilted her head back, her eyes were closed, her delicate makeup was also flawed, she gasped slightly, and a line of tears slowly slid down her side cheeks, which had been brewing in her eyes for a long time...
