Chapter 2 Departure to Beijing
Three days later, the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city of Mingze City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fish belly in the sky is white and gray, adding another sadness of parting to this empty official road.
A carriage made entirely of mahogany stood on the official road, and a group of Praetorian Guards stood in front of and behind the carriage. Five servants stood on each side of the carriage.
"Mother! Don't cry anymore! Look at this swollen eye! "The county lord of Minghua was dressed in a Su embroidered Yuehua brocade skirt, and a snow-colored fox fur cloak, which was called picturesque, and his face became more and more pale as paper.
"Son! My son! The mother is distressed! It's killing me! The princess hugged the girl in the white dress tightly, cried on her shoulder, and said breathlessly.
The father and son of the Lingnan Wang, who were waiting to say goodbye on the side, were speechless and looked at the sky, and the Lingnan princess cried for most of the hour and still did not let go.
"Mother! The marriage date is undecided, but it can still be discussed! What's more, in the April National Festival, you and your father will go to Beijing to worship. It's just a month of goodbye. Lord Minghua reluctantly patted the princess on the back to smooth her out.
"The land of jackals, tigers and leopards in Beijing, you enter Beijing alone, let alone go for a month, even if you go for a day, your mother is worried!" After the princess finished speaking, she sobbed and cried.
The eunuch who was waiting not far away twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, this Lingnan princess was out of tune, how many literati and artists in the world yearn for a holy place where they can show their ambitions, and the princess said that she was like a cannibal ghost.
"Mother! In a day's time, I haven't left the Lingnan realm! If you drag it any longer, you're going to sleep in the wilderness! Minghua reluctantly reminded the princess that it was not too early.
"Huh? Go ahead, the early spring is coming, but don't suffer from the cold! As she spoke, the princess pushed Lord Minghua to the carriage.
He also said to a twelve- or thirteen-year-old pink-clothed little maid who was supporting Minghua by Minghua's side: "Good student to take care of the county lord!" Since Zi Sandalwood Zidai has promoted you, it can be seen that you are also a clever person, don't let the county lord suffer, otherwise I will not spare you! ”
"Don't worry, the princess, the slave will definitely take care of the county lord!" The little girl nodded solemnly and promised in response.
Princess Lingnan ordered someone to carefully inspect the carriage, and the cushions on the benches in the carriage were all made of newly produced cotton, and a few cushions were prepared in the secret compartment for backup. The space in the car is large enough, and there is a chaise longue, which is covered with a rabbit down cushion, and a fox fur warm quilt, which shows that it really took a lot of thought.
Princess Lingnan felt that it was still eye-catching, so she said to the eunuch waiting by the carriage: "Anchang Temple, you have to take care of my son!" My son is weak, and if he suffers from the wind and cold, causing an old disease, I don't care about any holy decree or the emperor's! I'm going to Kyoto to get justice! ”
Anjoji was in a cold sweat when she heard this, and when the Lingnan princess was not out of the cabinet, she was a famous spicy lady in Kyoto. I heard that today's saint has suffered at the hands of this Lingnan princess when he was young, and I really admire that the Lingnan king can accept her. It is said that the king of Lingnan also doted on the princess very much, and he never accepted a concubine in the backyard.
"Our family must take care of the county lord, please rest assured princess!" Anjoji wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, bowed down and said.
"Hmm." The princess was satisfied, and said to Mama Liu beside her, "Mama Liu, go, give these Praetorian Guards and their attendants a silver or two of wine money each, and tell them to take good care of my son all the way!" ”
"Yes! The old slave is going! Mama Liu answered, and called a few little maids to help.
"Anjoji, this is the wine money for you!" The princess took out a bag of silver and stuffed it to Anjoji.
"Thank you, Princess!" Anjoji Temple does not shirk either. These eunuchs who serve the king are the most observant, even if the princess of Lingnan doesn't give them money for wine, they don't dare to snub the lord of Minghua, naturally they know that the princess of Lingnan is just asking for peace of mind.
"Mother, my son is really gone this time, you have to take care of yourself!" Minghua watched the princess greet her hurriedly, and his heart warmed.
"Let's go, let's go!" When the princess heard this, she waved her hand and turned her back to cover her face.
"Father, my son is gone!" Minghua saluted and said goodbye to the Lingnan King next to the Lingnan Princess.
"When you arrive in Beijing, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds!" King Lingnan said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Minghua responded.
"Sister take care!" Situ Yu waited for the Lingnan King to finish talking to Minghua.
"Yu'er, take care! Study hard and practice martial arts, don't slack off! Minghua turned around and got into the carriage after speaking.
Looking at the team that was getting farther and farther away, the three Lingnan kings all had heavy faces.
"Lord Wang! It has to be so! Sister Liu is a child! If there is anything wrong with the shadow, what face do I have to go to see my sister! Princess Lingnan cried again as she spoke.
"You also know that Ying'er has had a big idea since she was a child, and even the fifth brother and five sisters-in-law can't help what she decides." King Lingnan sighed and said.
"Father, mother, son must be strong! Strong enough to protect her father, queen mother, and sister, as well as Sister Shadow and Sister Zhi'er, who are not bullied by anyone! Situ Yu, who was standing quietly watching everything, said to the two with heavy and worried faces with red eyes. He's a man! He's twelve! But this time he couldn't help at all!
"My son!" Princess Lingnan hugged Situ Yu and cried bitterly, the children of ordinary families in Lingnan can help their parents with laundry and cooking, they can be called sensible and filial. Her three children, one has been running around for many years, one has been frail since he was a child, and the other knows how to forbear at a young age, hiding his edge, which makes her proud and distressed.
