Chapter 203: The Court
The prosperity of the capital is inexhaustible in just a moment. Xiao Cuo chose a secluded path and took Fu Ying to ride a horse, and when he arrived at a crowded place, he was worried that he would hurt the people if he was not careful, so he dismounted and became a groom, leading the horse to fall for Fu Ying. took Fu Ying to eat two snacks, and bought a few catties of sauced beef, Xiao Cuo said: "Let's go to the palace first to see my imperial brother later." ”
Fu Ying was a little nervous, lifted the white veil on the hat, and revealed a hibiscus face: "Aren't I going to welcome guests or the inn first?" ”
"Normally, the envoy is going there, but Lord Zheng has already arranged for General Wei to go. But you're different. Xiao Cuo smiled and turned over on the horse, grabbed her waist from behind, carried the sauced beef and a few snacks in his hand, and headed towards the imperial city.
When the horse's speed slowed down, the majestic palace city was not far away, Fu Yingcai said nervously: "What's different about me, I'm just Dongsheng used to kiss, even the identity of the princess is not justified." ”
"As long as it's my daughter-in-law's name, it's okay." Xiao Cuo didn't care, and rode his horse close to the palace gate. When the guards guarding the palace gate saw Xiao Cuo, they were all in awe, and saluted with their halberds: "See the prince!" ”
"Get up. Go to the car. ”
"Yes!" Xiao got off the horse, pinched Fu Ying's waist and put the person down on the ground, then handed over the sword on his waist, the short knife in his arms, and the sleeve arrow on his wrist, and asked Fu Ying: "Did you bring 'Wulian'?" ”
Shaking his head: "Mama said, it's too indecent for girls to carry them, and it's not good to hurt yourself if you don't pay attention." ”
"Well, I see that your long-winded grandma also said such a nice sentence." Xiao sneered.
The guards looked as if they had seen a ghost.
When their prince came back this time, he was more and more cold as a sword, and he didn't smile at people as much as he did when he was young. Now he is so gentle with the women around him......
As if seeing through what everyone was thinking, Xiao Cuo took Fu Ying's hand and walked to the oil wall car that had just been prepared, and said with a smile: "This is the princess." ”
Everyone suddenly realized that the seventh prince of the first month of May will get married and marry the princess who came from Dongsheng.
I see.
The clever guard saluted, "See the princess." ”
Fu Ying's embarrassment hasn't even passed the door yet, so it's not a good idea to change his name so early, right?
Excuse yourself from everyone's courtesy, and get into the carriage with Xiao Cuo.
The carriage slowly moved forward in the palace road, and Fu Ying looked out of the window curiously through the window screen, the vermilion wall and blue tiles. The eaves are pecked high. Everywhere is full of gorgeousness and vicissitudes, and the palace people pass by in twos and threes, and they all turn their backs to avoid the carriage when they see it.
Xiao Cuo's long arms stretched out and put his arms around her shoulders with a big grin. Laughing: "What do you think?" ”
"Nothing. I just think I'm going to see your royal brother later. A little nervous. What kind of person is he? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? ”
Xiao Cuo laughed: "What's there to be nervous about, you just need to know that although the person you want to meet is the emperor of the Great Zhou, he is also my brother." My father had a sudden illness. Later, the queen mother found out that with me, the royal brother always said that I was just a little bit short of being able to see my father, but I really missed each other, so although my generation is the "water" generation, only I have a single name. ”
Hearing Xiao Cuo's tone of ease about the past, Fu Ying turned around and took his hand, and then was pressed by Xiao Cuo on his shoulder.
"When I was just over four years old, my mother died. Since then, he has been by the royal brother's side. My brother is twenty-one years older than me, and he says that he is my elder brother, but he teaches me to take care of me like a father. Even my nephews are no more favored than I am. So in my heart, the imperial brother is the emperor, the respected father and brother, and the elder. And most importantly, he loves me a lot. So you don't have to be nervous at all, I'm just going to take you to meet your parents. ”
Fu Ying also knew a little about his past, but she was even more nervous when she heard him worship Jiadi so much.
For Jiadi, she is not the best candidate for Prince Xiang.
Seeing that she was still frowning slightly, Xiao Cuo couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't think too much." ”
Fu Ying didn't want to say provocative words in the palace walls, so he only said: "You won't understand the feelings of the ugly daughter-in-law when she sees her in-laws." ”
"Why don't you understand, it's not like I haven't seen it."
Fu Ying, who blurted out the words, sneered, "You are not ugly, and besides, my mother is not an in-law." ”
"You're not ugly, and my royal brother isn't my in-laws." Xiao Cuo was right, Fu Ying couldn't cry or laugh, but the tension was relieved.
Anyway, there is this man by his side, and he is in the palace where he has been mixed up since he was a child, so he has everything to do.
As he spoke, the carriage slowly stopped. The attendant outside replied respectfully: "Lord, the Devon Hall has arrived." ”
Xiao Cuo didn't wait for the people outside to set up the red lacquered stool for stepping feet, and he had already jumped out of the carriage dexterously, and then hugged Fu Ying down. Carrying the snacks he had just bought, he pulled Fu Ying into the side door of the Devon Hall with the other hand, and explained to Fu Ying while walking: "The imperial brother is scattered on weekdays, most of them are here to make folds, I was naughty when I was a child, I refused to follow my grandmother, and I didn't want to follow the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial brother had no choice, most of them asked me to rest here with him." ”
Pointing to a row of side rooms in the backyard: "The first room over there, where I lived when I was a child." And the big locust tree, you see. ”
"See."
"That stout branch in the tree, I love to climb up and read a book. For this reason, I was trained by my imperial brother, and I always said that if my father was here, he might be angry when he saw me so naughty. ”
When walking all the way, the two have stepped on the corridor to the apse of the Devon Palace, the mountain stone in the courtyard is simple, the clear spring is clear, and the big vat under the corner of the corridor is also planted with buds that want to bloom. Each view is unique and delicate. Compared with the court of Dongsheng Kingdom, the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty is more gorgeous and exquisite.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, a beautiful chamberlain who was over forty years old and had a white beard and a respectful and kind smile saluted: "The prince is back." Just now, the emperor heard that you brought your 'daughter-in-law' to buy sauce beef, and you were going to come back immediately, and the special order of the slave maid invited the queen mother and several princes. He saluted Fu Ying again: "This is Princess Shuanghe, right?" The slave and maid have given you a greeting. ”
Xiao Cuo smiled and said, "This is the prince next to the imperial brother!" ”
Fu Ying always knew that these great eunuchs around the emperor got along with them day and night, and they were often more able to talk to the emperor than the ministers of the court, so he was busy giving half a salute.
The prince was flattered and returned the salute.
Xiao Cuo casually handed over the dim sum and sauced beef, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"Don't dare, please come in, prince. Then the slave and maid went and ordered the beef to be cut, and the snacks were prepared, and then they were brought in. The prince pushed open the door of the temple for the two of them.
With a creak, the lattice door of Linghua unfolded to the left and right, and the floor inside was smooth marble. Xiao Cuo took off Fu Ying's hat and handed it to the little eunuch on the side, then pulled her into the threshold and went straight to the side: "Brother Huang, brother is back!"
