2. Frightened
In Shen Yu's cognition, the current emperor is forty years old, and although His Royal Highness Duanwang is not from the same mother as the emperor, he is the emperor's most beloved younger brother.
With the convenience of her uncle being the political envoy, Shen Yu, who loved to watch the excitement, did not miss the grand ceremony to welcome King Duan into the city.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, this grand ceremony ushered in a simple procession of two people, two horses and a carriage-
His Royal Highness King Duan, who is famous all over the world, rode a black horse and stopped in the drizzle of apricot blossoms. Zao Honglie next to him was immediately his personal entourage, and in the car was an old man with gorgeous hair over sixty years old, except for the little guy who was driving the car and the two scholars who were waiting for the old gentleman, there was no one else, and there were no people such as Changshi, honor guards, ambassadors, etc.
Such an appearance was beyond everyone's expectations.
Shen Yu was wearing the crown uniform of the academy at this time and mixed in the welcoming team, and it was inevitable that she would follow everyone to secretly observe Duanwang's demeanor.
Heroic, dignified, and faintly with the courage of a battlefield general, but in this smoke-like spring rain of apricot blossoms, it is not as cold as the legend. This is Shen Yan's first impression of Duanwang Xu Yan.
Although the officials were surprised, they still smiled respectfully and hugged Xu Yan into the city.
When he arrived at the most prestigious restaurant in Luling City, Jiang Wenying invited King Duan to move in the name of catching the wind and washing the dust, but Xu Yan refused.
Not only did this banquet fail, but even a mansion that Jiang Wenying painstakingly selected was categorically rejected, and His Royal Highness King Duan only dropped the order of "Luling Academy will discuss the matter at noon the day after tomorrow", and left with his entourage.
A group of officials were hung on the ground and looked at each other.
Luling City is prosperous and wealthy, and it is not without receiving royal dignitaries. Four years ago, the emperor took over the southern tour, and the pomp and circumstance at that time have been praised so far, and later His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei also came here as a governor to inspect the people.
Who knew that His Royal Highness Duan Wang had such a cold and detached attitude, as if the officials of Luling had offended him.
Jiang Wenying had no choice but to call everyone to disperse on the spot.
Shen Yu rushed to join in the fun, but in the end she pounced, a little lacking in interest, and she bowed her head and was silent when she followed Shen Ping back.
However, Shen Ping was thoughtful, and after entering the gate of the Shen Mansion, he sighed to himself: "His Royal Highness King Duan was elusive when he led his troops to fight, and this note of Ma Wei is also interesting." ”
Dismounted? Shen Yu was puzzled.
Although His Royal Highness Duanwang's refusal to banquet and mansion is a bit unkind, can this be regarded as a dismount?
Looking at her father who walked into the study, Shen Yan felt that her brain seemed to be insufficient.
No matter how the officials in Wuchuan speculated and pondered the attitude of His Royal Highness King Duan, Luling City was lively in the past two days.
A drizzle washed away the fine dust, adding more spring light, and even the willows on the side of the street were more green than usual, attracting swallows to surround and birds to roost. The political envoys and scholars of Taining and Zhending provinces got the news, and rushed to Luling in the evening of the next day, and then there were invited to come one after another to the famous book collectors and literary leaders into the city, and for a time the inns in Luling City were overcrowded.
At the appointed date, Luling Academy was unprecedentedly lively.
Luling Academy has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it was built in a secluded place in the east city, because there are many high-ranking officials with status and fame, and it has been expanded year by year, and the style and elegance of the style are not even comparable to the various government offices.
The academy occupies a wide area, the inside is spacious, and there are many students who can help sort out the books, so this time the book was selected as the center, and the location was located in the Jingzhao Pavilion in the small courtyard on the east side.
In this courtyard, an old locust tree is luxuriant, and there is a low pine potted plant on the lacquered shelf below, and two large elm trees that have grown for 100 years cover the small three-story attic, which is shaded and cool.
The door of the main hall is open, and it is full of tables and chairs, on which tea and fruit snacks, porcelain vases and flowers are prepared, and the fragrance is quiet. Famous book collectors from the three provinces gathered together, from the old man to the heroic youth, from the scholarly family to the rich room of the salt merchant.
The head is honored by His Royal Highness King Duan, and under him are the political envoys and scholars of the three provinces, and again the officials of the state capitals.
The news of His Royal Highness Duan Wang's request for books has spread, and he did not beat around the bush and said the entrustment and expectations of the saints, hoping that the officials present here would do their best and the bibliophiles would enthusiastically donate books.
Later, the officials made a statement, most of these people entered the official career with the imperial examination, and they did not dare to slack off in front of King Duan, and their statements were boring and lengthy.
Shen Yan sat in the corner and listened for a while, and when she got to the back, she felt bored, so she sneaked out of Jingzhao Pavilion.
The vicinity of Jingzhao Pavilion is a school house, and it is a well-arranged garden to walk to the east for a while, at this time, the peach, plum and apricot blossoms bloom and fall one after another, the bee ring butterfly is around, the curved bridge flows water, and the spring scenery is intoxicating.
Shen Yu usually likes to be sleepy and nap, but when the weather gets hot in the afternoon, it is easier to feel lazy. So I walked slowly all the way to enjoy the spring, and went to the shade to tease the little white fox raised in the academy, and then took it to the gazebo where I was used to napping.
Meimei stole a lazy child, and when Shen Yu squinted her eyes half-asleep and half-awakened, she found that there was another person in front of her.
That man still seems to be looking at him!
The feeling of being stared at in the haze was really scary, Shen Yan was startled, and the remnants of the drowsiness were all scattered, she sat up with the white fox in her arms, and when her consciousness returned, she also saw the person in front of her clearly-
Several purple magnolia plants bloomed in one place, and His Royal Highness Duan Wang was wearing an ink-colored and gold-woven piping robe, with his hands behind his back, standing four or five steps away from her, looking at her.
Or rather, the fox in her arms.
Shen Yu was shocked.
This pavilion is far away from the school house, and the road is winding and hidden, so few people usually come, so Shen Yu dares to take a nap here with confidence, but how did His Royal Highness Duanwang, who should have been surrounded by all the officials, come here?
Although Shen was wearing the clothes of a college student at this time, she did not deliberately hide her body, and the figure of the fourteen-year-old girl was gradually revealed, and there were signs of what should be abrupt. In addition, she was already beautiful, dressed in blue and white clothes, with a few strands of hair hanging down from her ears after taking off her crown and hat, and the delicate girl holding the soft white fox to rest in the shade of the tree, falling in the eyes of people, it was really comfortable and wonderful.
Of course, Shen Yu didn't know about this situation, and sat for a while, and the sharp heartbeat calmed down a lot.
Her mind also cleared up, and she felt a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly put the fox next to her, got up and said, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness King Duan. ”
"Do you know this king?"
"His Royal Highness the Prime Minister of Duanwang asked for a letter, no one in Luling City knows, that day His Royal Highness entered the city, and the grass people had seen it from afar."
- Shen Yu didn't want to reveal that she was mixed in the book collector's pile with the convenience of her uncle and father, and she couldn't say any compliments about "Your Highness's dragon and phoenix", so she could only talk nonsense like this.
Who knew that King Duan didn't let it go, "Wasn't it in Jingzhao Pavilion just now?" ”
Shen Yan looked up in surprise, but she didn't find any useful information on that cold and hard face.
Thinking that His Royal Highness King Duan can lead thousands of troops and horses, the viciousness of his eyes is very comparable, Shen Yu knows that her daughter's family is different from a teenager when she wears academy clothes, and it is not strange that Xu Yan can notice her in the crowd. She couldn't deny it, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Xu Yan on the other side stood for a moment, probably feeling bored, and turned around and left.
Shen Yan watched the figure disappear behind the branches and leaves, as if she had been pardoned.
This His Royal Highness King Duan is worthy of the title of the god of war, although his appearance is not such a fierce and vicious appearance, but the oppressive force on his body is very comparable, and it is no wonder that he could make Jiang Wenying tremble with a simple single sentence that day.
I heard that he is only twenty years old now, how can he practice such momentum?
Shen Yu has also seen Qin Yu's father, Qin Xiong, who is the commander of the capital, and he is also a tough guy who has been trained in hundreds of battles, and now he is in his forties, and his brave and fierce spirit is impressive.
Compared with him, this young prince doesn't seem to be much inferior in terms of momentum?
Turning around and holding the little fox in her arms, Shen Yan saw that there was no one around, and saw that the sky was about the same, so she hugged the fox and walked back.
Today's events were really unexpected, especially when she felt someone looking at her in a drowsy mood, the kind of fright was really palpitating, and now when she thinks about it, her heart beats a little faster.
Shen Yu inevitably complained about Xu Yan's sudden appearance, hugged the little fox's fluffy body, bowed her head to the little fox and said to herself: "What kind of noble and prestigious prince will actually peep at other people's sleep, and he has not apologized at all when he woke people up, and he is not as sensible as ordinary children, it is really a shame for the royal family!" Right, Xiaobai? ”
The little fox's dark and shining eyes were facing her, and she couldn't understand Shen Yan's complaints, so she naturally couldn't answer.
However, it understands human nature, and knows that Shen Yan is not happy at this moment, so he raised his paw and rubbed it on her arm.
Shen Yan likes this little fox the most on weekdays, and she was comforted by it and felt a lot better, pouting after complaining, and stroked its fur to play.
After taking two steps and looking up, he suddenly saw a corner of the ink-colored woven gold gown, the pattern and ornamentation were really impressive, and Shen Yu's soul was scattered.
End...... End...... His Royal Highness King Duan!
After seeing the expressionless cold and hard face clearly, Shen Yu felt that her legs were a little weak.
Obviously, those words just now did not escape his ears!
Shen Yu is not a girl who is as bold as a cow, and when she travels into this world, she naturally knows the basic rules. Who is Duan Wangye? That's the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, the prince of the dynasty, the royal family with golden light shining all over! Compared with her cloth people, her identity is very different, can she complain lightly?
What's more, Duanwang is brave and good at fighting, known as a cold and murderous person, how can he not be angry when he is said like this when he bumps into himself in front of him? Even if it doesn't involve such a major matter as his family's life, as long as he minds, he will punish him casually, can she bear it?
Shen Yu wailed in her heart, her arms tightened, and the little fox screamed softly, and hurriedly let it go to the ground.
