Episode 146: Wine Fight!
"Bell ......"
It's noon.
On the top of the tall building of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Meaux, an ancient and melodious bell suddenly sounded.
Immediately, the whole of Meaux boiled.
The eldest princess is finally here!
The inner city and the outer city, the streets and alleys, have long been filled with people who have heard the news.
Jiang Bannan, the lord of Mocheng, had already taken a cadre of nobles from Mocheng and was waiting on the road outside the city.
At the head of the city of Mo, the sergeants were dressed in armor and solemn.
Outside the city gate, colorful flags fluttered and people were silent.
Not much.
On the road not far ahead, dusty, a team of silver-armored iron riders took the lead in galloping.
When they came to the front of Jiang Bannan and the others, no one dismounted, but scattered, surrounding the crowd outside the city, walking slowly.
Immediately, a pair of cold and fierce eyes began to scan the crowd one by one.
Everyone who was swept by the gaze of these silver-armored iron riders couldn't help but feel a chill all over their bodies.
Even a martial artist felt a chill down his spine.
Hundreds of people outside the city were silent.
Another moment passed.
The sound of hooves was like thunder and rumbling.
From far to near.
Everyone immediately held their breath and stared.
The figure in crimson armor and riding a flaming horse finally appeared on the avenue ahead.
Behind her, hundreds of iron horsemen wearing silver armor and holding silver spears rushed towards her.
Before they got close, a terrifying momentum that could only be found on the killing field rushed towards everyone.
Some people can't help but weaken their legs.
Many people's hearts trembled, their eyes were even stung, and they hurriedly lowered their heads and bent over, not daring to look again.
Soon, the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue took the iron horse and ran to the nearest place.
Jiang Bannan, the lord of Mocheng City, and the other nobles all stepped forward, bowed their heads, and bowed their hands to worship.
The nobles on both sides of the road all paid homage in unison.
Not to mention them, even those princes and ministers in Kyoto, when they see this, they have to be respectful and bow their heads to worship.
Not much.
Jiang Bannan rode on a horse, accompanied the eldest princess, lagged behind a horse, and entered the city in a mighty way surrounded by everyone.
Behind the eldest princess, twenty female guards followed her into the city.
The hundreds of horsemen were camped outside the city and waiting.
They have their own sergeants in the city, who come every day to deliver food and daily necessities.
The streets outside were crowded with dense crowds.
But on both sides of the street, there were Meaux soldiers forming a human wall to intercept it, in case someone didn't have long eyes and suddenly collided with the eldest princess.
Nangong Huoyue rode a horse with fur like flames, rarely speaking along the way, and watched the streets of the city and the people in the city.
Jiang Bannan, the city lord of Mocheng who was accompanying her, observed her face from time to time.
When he walked on the long bridge leading to the inner city, Nangong Huoyue stopped his horse, turned his head to look at him and said, "City Lord Jiang, the people in the outer city don't seem to be doing well. ”
Jiang Bannan suddenly sweated on his spine, and he didn't dare to argue, so he hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "Yes, it was a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates." In the future, his subordinates will do their best to improve the lives of the people in the outer city and never disappoint the expectations of the eldest princess. ”
Nangong Huoyue turned his head again, glanced at the nobles who were wearing silk and satin with ruddy faces not far behind him, and said lightly: "Taizu is kind and generous, and has sealed many meritorious titles. Some nobles have been on a vegetarian diet for generations, without any achievements, and without any benefit to the country and the people, but they still have fine clothes and fine food, eat and drink without worry, and enjoy luxury. Jiang City Lord thinks, is this appropriate? ”
Jiang Bannan lowered his head, sweating on his forehead, and did not dare to answer.
This is a remark related to national policy, the first emperor and the current saint have not handled it well, and the court has set off several bloody storms on this matter, where does he dare to intervene.
Only the eldest princess dared to talk about it at will in public.
Nangong Huoyue didn't say anything more and continued to move forward.
It's even more lively in the inner city.
In the streets and alleys, people are rubbing shoulders and bustling, all stretching their necks, tilting their heads, looking at the city gate.
When they saw the tall and majestic figure in red armor, as well as the high-headed horse like fire under his crotch, the crowd suddenly boiled, and they all shouted excitedly: "Eldest princess! Eldest Princess! ”
Many people cried with excitement.
Nangong Huoyue just glanced at it lightly, and then continued to move forward.
The people followed her excitedly, forming a torrent that rushed to the City Lord's Mansion with great momentum.
To the east of the City Lord's Mansion, there is a mansion specially built for the eldest princess, which is usually guarded by personnel, and no one dares to enter.
Jiang Bannan built a lot of new scenery in it, and at the same time, vacated the entire city lord's mansion, and all the people inside moved out and moved to the mansion next to it to live temporarily.
It wasn't until Nangong Huoyue entered the City Lord's Mansion that the crowd on the street outside was still gathered there, reluctant to disperse, and many people were still excitedly chanting "Eldest Princess".
All of a sudden, the entire city was full of people.
In the afternoon.
The government received Jiang Bannan's order and began to open granaries to help the poor.
On the streets of the outer city and the inner city, the market has been opened and is very lively.
Many people are immersed in this joyful and lively atmosphere.
But in the Qin Mansion, it is still as calm as ever.
Except for Qin Wenzheng, the patriarch of the Qin family, who took the elders of the Qin family to the City Lord's Mansion to pay homage, everyone else still did whatever they had to do.
Only some maids and servants who had nothing to do today went to the streets to join in the fun and watch the procession of the eldest princess entering the city.
In the study.
Miss Qin Er sat in front of the desk, still busy.
Her face was still sickly pale, but she looked much better, coughing only a few times throughout the day, and no more blood was coughed up.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er were standing outside.
The windows and doors of the study were closed.
No one can come in without her command.
Except, of course, someone.
The first time the night before and the second time last night, someone sneaked in through the window in the dead of night, climbed into her bed, and slept with her.
Although the two were just lying together, holding hands, she was already very satisfied and happy.
When he was with her last night, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, will you come to accompany Weimo every night in the future?" ”
He replied very seriously: "Not every night, sometimes I have to accompany your sister." ”
Thinking of his answer at that time, Miss Qin Er couldn't help but laugh.
Because she knew that her brother-in-law was lying to her, her sister wouldn't let him accompany her.
In the past two days, she feels much better in mood and body.
He not only gave her warmth, but also gave her the strength and hope to live.
It would be nice if we could go on like this.
The girl thought sweetly in her heart for a while, and then lowered her head and began to write seriously.
These two days during the day.
Luo Qingzhou didn't go anywhere, and went to the bottom of the lake early in the morning to cultivate.
Today, everyone went out to watch the excitement, and he still hid alone in the ground and practiced silently until evening, when he returned to the small courtyard.
The Qin Mansion seemed to have suddenly become deserted.
When Fluttershy returns from dinner, she tells him, "The old lady and the second lady have all gone to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the eldest princess's dinner." By the way, the second son also went. In the afternoon, Qiu'er's sister also told the slave maid to comfort the son when the slave came back, saying that the guests invited by each family were limited, so she didn't bring the son with her. ”
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss Qiu'er will comfort people." In fact, even if they took me, I guess I wouldn't be able to get in, because my identity is here. But it doesn't matter, I didn't think about joining in the fun. ”
Fluttershy hugged his arm, pressed her cheek to his arm, and said softly, "Childe, no matter what others think of Childe, in the hearts of slaves, Childe will always be the best, and no one can compare to Childe." ”
Luo Qingzhou stroked her head and said, "Okay, let's eat." Later, I will call Bailing and Xia Chan, and we will go out shopping. Childe gave you sugar gourds to eat, and bought you some small gifts. ”
Fluttershy suddenly raised her little face and said happily, "Childe, the slave is going to eat three strings of sugar gourds tonight." The slave wants a bracelet, okay? ”
Luo Qingzhou smiled, squatted down, pointed to his cheek and said, "Kiss three times." ”
The little girl grinned, immediately pursed her lips, kissed him three times on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Childe, it's enough, can you buy it for the slave?" ”
Luo Qingzhou picked her up, picked up her petite and delicate body from the ground, kissed her little mouth a few times, and said, "Fluttershy, I have a question for you." ”
Fluttershy blinked her curled eyelashes and said shyly, "Hmm." ”
Luo Qingzhou said: "If one day, I suddenly don't want the eldest lady, and then follow ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Fluttershy's eyes widened and her face changed, "Childe, don't say it." ”
Luo Qingzhou smiled: "Don't be afraid, it's just the two of us here." I just want to know, if I divorce the eldest lady in the future, and then get along with someone else, will you look down on the childe? Ah, little girl, why are you pinching my chest? ”
Luo Qingzhou raised his hand and was about to pinch her bulging chest, but suddenly found that the little girl's face was wrong.
He stiffened suddenly, then slowly turned his head and looked at the door of the small courtyard.
Bai Ling was leaning on the door frame in a pink skirt, holding a freshly folded flower in his hand, and he was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Outside the door, Xia Chan was holding the sword, and she was also standing there with a cold face, staring at him with cold eyes.
"Childe ......"
The little girl in his arms, with an ugly face, was even more scared than him.
What if Childe's words just got out and was suddenly swept out of the house by the eldest lady, what would I do?
How could Childe suddenly say something like that?
Luo Qingzhou paused, put her out of his arms, turned around, looked at the two girls at the door, and his face quickly returned to calm: "Wait a while, we haven't eaten yet." ”
Bai Ling shrugged his shoulders, turned around and went out directly, and said to the cold girl outside the door: "Let's go, Chanchan, my uncle is ready to take a break from our young lady, and he shouldn't be willing to accompany us to go shopping, let's go by ourselves." ”
Xia Chan was still standing outside the door, motionless.
