Chapter 17: Parade
Ke Xiyuan looked at the cumbersome dress on her body, frowned without a trace, and was a little impatient. squinted at the people behind him, and his heart was even more anxious.
I've been here for a while, and although I can see Emperor Yun in the Flowing Cloud Hall every day, I can't grasp the traces of Emperor Yun. This made Ke Xiyuan more and more dull, and her heart became more and more uncertain.
In the Cloud Palace, you can't hear the battle report at all every day, and you can't feel the tension of the war. This kind of life seems to be calm, but it makes Ke Xiyuan very depressed.
Although they exchange news with Zhou Chenyu every day, each other's information is no progress. If it goes on like this, I don't know how long it will take to complete the task!
And today, it's the first chance! Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on today! If not...... Ke Xiyuan's heart sank, and her hand clenched involuntarily.
Mama Yu greeted Qiqiao and Jiuhui, who had changed into new clothes, "Today is the day when Emperor Yun officially introduces the princess, you must follow the princess every step of the way!" ”
"Yes! Momma! Qiqiao and Jiuhui followed Mama Yu for a period of time, becoming more and more stable and proper, even more useful than Hibiscus and Kapok, who had been trained in the palace for a long time. Mama Yu likes the two of them very much, so naturally she will leave everything to the two of them.
Kapok's eyes rolled and knocked down Fleur beside him, "Today is the princess's big day, let's ......"
"What Mama tells me to do! Be careful with your words and deeds! Fleur didn't blink her eyes, and her eyes only fell on Ke Xiyuan.
Kapok snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, walked to Ke Xiyuan's side, and whispered, "Princess, the slave seems to be sad when she sees you, but what can the slave and maid do for you?" The slave only begged the princess to smile! ”
Ke Xiyuan looked at Kapok and thought about it. "You're with me today!"
Kapok's face immediately showed joy, and he glanced at Furong proudly, and then stood beside Ke Xiyuan and didn't move. She didn't see the worry flashing in Fleur's eyes at all, she just felt that she had made the right bet.
Emperor Yun decided to take Ke Xiyuan to parade through the streets today, so that the people would know the newly crowned Princess Yunxin.
Originally, Emperor Yun didn't have this plan, but for some reason, when Ke Xiyuan went out on the street that day, it was rumored among the people that Princess Yunxin was extremely knowledgeable. People are also kind news. Emperor Yun was happy. He also decided to officially introduce his niece to the people.
When Mama Yu saw Ke Xiyuan using kapok, she didn't raise any objections. She found that Ke Xiyuan seemed to be starting to have her own ideas. It's right to think about it. Children who have left their parents are becoming more sensible! I can't help but have more feelings for Ke Xiyuan, similar to pity.
So Mama Yu said to the two of them, "Since the princess has commanded." Follow me outside the carriage. Let's wait for the princess! ”
Tangram wanted to say something, but he still consciously lowered his head. She knows. This time I didn't come to hold Ke Xiyuan back, I must be obedient. Ke Xiyuan must have her reasons for doing this.
Jiuhui glanced at Qiqiao, lowered his head and smiled. Tangram seemed to be more calm than he thought. After this time, I can feel much more at ease with Tangram.
Emperor Yun specially built a red gold glass car for Ke Xiyuan, which was very magnificent. The surroundings are covered in golden tulle, which is both beautiful and breathable. It's a bit like a horse-drawn carriage made out of a fairy tale.
Kapok only glanced at it, and he was even happier to be by Ke Xiyuan's side today, "Princess, Emperor Yun is so good to you!" Even the most favored princess Pingshun has never been treated like this! ”
"Really?" , Ke Xiyuan hooked her lips and stretched out her hand.
Kapok was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Ke Xiyuan's hand and helped Ke Xiyuan into the carriage.
Mama Yu said with a smile on the side of the car, "Princess, the city patrol will be a little long today!" If the princess has any discomfort, call the slave maid at any time! The slave and maid are walking outside the car today, ready for the princess to send at any time! ”
"Mama, when will you leave?" , Ke Xiyuan only felt that his palms were slightly sweaty, and for the first time there was a kind of uncertain panic.
Thinking that Ke Xiyuan was in a hurry and wanted to go out, Mama Yu smiled and said, "Just wait for Emperor Yun's car to arrive, let's go!" Rest assured, the princess will definitely introduce you to this Yunbo City today! ”
The people of Yunbo Town don't care if this place is called Yunbo Town, but Yunbo City. They seem to be extremely willing to submit to the rule of the Cloud Emperor. Not only that, but the people of Xuzhou also believe in Emperor Yun as the monarch. Sometimes Ke Xiyuan thinks about it, and she will have some questions.
Before I could think about it, I heard the happy voice of Kapok next to me, "Princess, you can go!" ”
Ke Xiyuan clenched his fists and pulled out a smile, and saw Mama Yu open the curtain, and Emperor Yun's face appeared on her side.
"Yuanyuan, do you still like it?" , Emperor Yun looked at the finished carriage, and a trace of love that Ke Xiyuan couldn't understand flashed in his eyes.
"I love it, it's like a pumpkin carriage!" , Ke Xiyuan blurted out, but Emperor Yun's face changed dramatically.
But soon, Emperor Yun's face couldn't see anything, and he turned his head to look ahead, "If Yuanyuan likes it, let's go!" ”
As soon as you left the palace gate, you didn't go far when you saw people standing on both sides, their hands were full of flower petals, swaying wantonly.
Ke Xiyuan had a feeling for the first time that she seemed to be a princess in a fairy tale, too dreamy. But as long as she thought of what would happen today, Ke Xiyuan couldn't help but sink her heart.
"Princess, so beautiful!" , Kapok was excited. I thought that only Qiqiao and Jiuhui could be in this car today, but I didn't expect it to be myself.
"Kapok, do you like this scene very much?" , Ke Xiyuan looked at Kapok with a hint of pity and guilt.
"Like! The slave has never seen such a scene! Thank you for being with you! Kapok felt that Ke Xiyuan was very easy to get along with. Now that Ke Xiyuan is a princess, if she can be smarter, and with her many years of doing things in the Cloud Palace, she will definitely be able to be reused by Ke Xiyuan.
Ke Xiyuan didn't continue the conversation, but looked out of the car. Outside the car, all the people were brightly dressed, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
As soon as he entered Xuzhou, Ke Xiyuan felt the wealth of Xuzhou. Although she was in a hurry, she still enjoyed the scenery along the way. Along the way, all the people seemed to be very rich, and there was no sign of war.
"Kapok, I see that the people here are very rich! Where are you from? ”
"Back to the princess, the places under the jurisdiction of Emperor Yun are very rich, and there are no hungry people! The slave maid entered the palace to repay her parents! The people of Xuzhou are very grateful to Emperor Yun. Emperor Yun let the people live a life of good food and clothing, so the slaves and maids volunteered to enter the palace to serve. When you reach the age of twenty, you can freely go out of the palace to marry, and the palace will also give a dowry. And ......", Kapok whispered, "There are only guards in the Cloud Palace, no eunuchs!" ”
Ke Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that the Cloud Palace was indeed like this, many systems were not harsh, and men and women were not very particular about defense. Moreover, there is really no such thing as a eunuch. Before, I didn't pay attention.
"This is all the construction of Emperor Yun from the Queen of Yun, so the Queen of the Cloud is the most respected person in Xuzhou! The most famous sentence she said is that everyone has food to eat, and everyone has money to spend! There was a hint of joy on Kapok's face, and when he talked about Yunhou, his tone was also respectful.
Ke Xiyuan's heart was turned upside down. After the clouds, it was she who came to the clouds, except for the most curious woman in the task. She wanted to figure out something, but she couldn't do it, but she could hear from her everywhere. The more I listened, the more curious I became, what kind of person is Yunhou?
While he was still thinking about it, he heard Kapok beside him exclaim, and then heard the sound of fighting.
Ke Xiyuan's heart tightened, and when he opened the curtain and looked, he saw that dozens of people in the dark were really attacking Emperor Yun's car as the center, and the person at the head was not covered with a black scarf, but wearing a pure white mask.
He was extremely fast, and he attacked Emperor Yun's car in an instant. The long sword went straight into the car, and was quickly blocked by a force.
He quickly took a few steps back and laughed out loud, "Emperor Yun is really extraordinary!" In the next is not talented, please also fight! ”
I saw Emperor Yun quickly fly out of the car, looked at Yin Hengsheng, who was already entangled with the man in black in front of him, and narrowed his eyes, "When you dare to hurt me, you must be prepared to come and go!" ”
The people on both sides seemed to have foreseen the accident, and they quickly evacuated in a short time, and soon only the patrolling army and raiding party remained.
The masked man looked at the scene and knew that something was wrong, so he took out a smoke bomb from his bosom, smashed it on the ground, and then shouted, "Withdraw!" The other men in black also pulled out smoke bombs in response to his actions.
The thick smoke quickly covered the entire scene, Ke Xiyuan's heart tightened, and soon saw the masked man appear in front of him.
He glanced at Ke Xiyuan a few times, grabbed the already sluggish kapok and blocked it in front of Ke Xiyuan, and with a stab of the long sword, the poignant sound of kapok resounded around.
The masked man pushed away the kapok, glanced at Ke Xiyuan, and quickly evacuated.
Ke Xiyuan's blood was stagnant, looking at the kapok who was still struggling in the car, her whole body was cold.
That's not true! That's not true! Ke Xiyuan's nails slowly embedded in the flesh, and she was completely unconscious.
It wasn't until Emperor Yun rushed into the car to look at her and call out to her that she realized that Kapok had long since opened her eyes and was no longer alive.
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan! You look at your uncle! Are there any injuries? Emperor Yun's face was full of panic, looking at Ke Xiyuan, full of pity.
Ke Xiyuan's chest was so painful that he was surging up, a mouthful of turbid air poured up from his abdomen, a fishy sweetness came out of his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, and he didn't know anything.
Emperor Yun hugged Ke Xiyuan and called out loudly, "Go back to the palace!" Call the Imperial Doctor for me back to the palace immediately! Yun Xingong mainly has one or two, I want you to look good! ”
At this time, the smoke cleared, and Yin Hengsheng also appeared in front of the car, "Father, should we track down those assassins first?" ”
"Bastard! You didn't hear me, go back to the palace immediately! If Yuanyuan has one or two, I will ask you! Emperor Yun's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and his anger exploded completely.
Yin Hengsheng looked at Ke Xiyuan who had passed out in the car, and then caught a glimpse of the bloodstains on the corner of her skirt, and his eyes sank, "Yes!" The retainers then ordered them to go back to the palace! ”
Qiqiao and Jiuhui held each other's hands, and they could feel each other's trembling. Fleur was behind them, glanced at Ke Xiyuan's car, something flashed in her eyes, and quickly lowered her head. (To be continued)
