Chapter 197: Travel

Yang Yuhuan was secretive about King Shou before, but under Yang Yun's step-by-step temptation, he finally confided his true feelings.

In fact, this is very understandable, Yang Yuhuan's love for Dou is just beginning, and it is really difficult to resist when he meets a suitor like Shouwang, who is respectful and gentle, humble and courteous, and has a strong background.

In addition to his slightly cowardly personality, King Shou is almost full marks in other aspects, but sometimes weakness and bullying can also be understood as a gentle temperament, able to take care of other people's ideas, reflecting the temperament of a warm man, which is not conducive to the competition for the throne, but it is a plus in Yang Yuhuan's eyes.

Yang Yun didn't talk too much about emotional problems with Yang Yuhuan, because he made an appointment with Li Mao, and after letting Yang Yuhuan change into a brand new clothes, he took her out with him and took a carriage to the verdant residence.

When he arrived at the neighborhood where the emerald green residence was located, many officials blocked the road, Yang Yun observed, and a luxuriously decorated carriage in front of him was parked next to the road in front of the door, and it was estimated that a high-ranking official was visiting, so he got out of the carriage, and then beckoned Yang Yuhuan to come down as well.

"We are here at the invitation of His Royal Highness King Shou, why should we stop the way?" After Yang Yuhuan got out of the carriage, he didn't see the situation clearly, and questioned the official in a dissatisfied tone.

The official had a tough attitude: "We are not from the Shouwang Mansion, and those who have nothing to do with it should be avoided quickly." ”

Yang Yuhuan angrily retreated to the side with Yang Yun, and waited for the tea, only to see that on the other side of the small residence, Li Mao accompanied an old man in a purple official robe to come out of the door, and walked towards the carriage while talking.

"Isn't that King Shou?" Yang Yuhuan was very happy to see Li Mao, and pointed to the old man beside Li Mao, "That person seems to be very familiar." ”

Yang Yun looked at it carefully, smiled and said, "Isn't it the Prime Minister Han Cheng I saw when I was in the Great Void Viewing Festival before?" He seems to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry now. ”

The official who walked with Li Mao was the former right minister Han Xiu, who had met Yang Yun before.

Because Han Xiu and the left minister Xiao Chong quarreled fiercely in front of the emperor, and even scuffled together, Xuanzong was greatly annoyed, Xiao Chong was demoted to the right minister, and Han Xiu retired to the Ministry of Works.

Zhang Jiuling, the last virtuous minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, is now known as the political left minister and has become the mainstay of the imperial court.

This is all a year ago.

Needless to say, Han Xiu, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came to talk to King Shou about the restoration of the statue of Lao Tzu and the venue arrangement of the future Taoist conference.

……

……

Li Mao sent Han Xiu into the carriage, and the official who closed the road escorted the carriage away, and Yang Yun explained a few words to the coachman before going to the emerald green residence with Yang Yuhuan.

Li Mao turned around and saw Yang Yuhuan, his face was full of joy, and despite the dissuasion of the guards, he rushed over to say hello.

"Miss Yang is here? When did it arrive...... Snub the beauty, sin, sin! Li Mao's face was full of apologies.

Yang Yuhuan changed his previous complaints, generously gave a blessing gift, and then said: "Your Highness has important people to meet and discuss national affairs, so what's the harm of the little girl waiting?" ”

"Let's go, let's talk inside."

Li Mao stepped forward to help Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yuhuan took a step back, smiled apologetically, and Li Mao found that there was still Yang Yun standing next to him.

"Daoist Yang is also there?" Li Mao looked embarrassed.

Yang Yun touched his chin.

The sense of presence is really low!

Have you forgotten who brought the people over for you?

"Your Highness is polite."

Yang Yun saluted briefly, and then asked, "Before, His Highness was talking to Han Shangshu about the restoration of the ancestor statue?" ”

Li Mao's mind was all on Yang Yuhuan, and he had no intention of talking about business, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and say about this matter, let's go inside and taste tea first." ”

……

……

Li Mao was courteous to Yang Yuhuan.

After accompanying Yang Yuhuan into the verdant residence, Li Mao kept looking for topics to talk about, but he had no experience in communicating with women, and the topic sounded very cold to Yang Yun.

Yang Yun saw that if there was no reconciliation with Princess Xianyi, a sister who could speak well, it would be difficult for Li Mao to talk to Yang Yuhuan more.

Among Li Longji's many sons, Li Mao can be regarded as a superb.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, the weather is not cold today, don't sit in the house, it will be boring, why don't you find a place to sit outside, how about chatting with tea?"

Yang Yun interrupted Li Mao's lame topic with a smile.

There is a strong hint of suggestion.

The wind is beautiful, don't always think about taking the girl to a dimly lit room for tea, it will seem boring, you should find something to do outdoors.

Li Mao remembered something, looked around, and said: "Today's weather is really good, and the time is early, why don't we go to Luoyang City together, how about a walk?" ”

Yang Yuhuan was pleased, but replied shyly: "If Your Highness has important business, you don't have to worry about the little girl." ”

"How so? It just so happened that Xianyi was also outside the city today, so we went to look for her...... The person she's seeing today is very important, so I'll have someone prepare the carriage......"

Li Mao is very quick in doing things, and the thought of being able to go out of the city with Yang Yuhuan is full of energy.

Seeing Li Mao leave and go to gather people, the smile on Yang Yuhuan's face faded, and he was vaguely helpless.

Obviously, this prince charming is not as perfect as she imagined, and there is still a certain distance from the standard of her dream lover, but with her identity, there is no way to demand perfection.

"Sister, it seems that King Shou is very fond of you." Yang Yun quipped.

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Yang Yun, and said angrily: "King Shou is calm and heavy, don't chew the root of your tongue, I just know what he thinks about me." ”

……

……

Li Mao arranged the carriage and called the guards to accompany him, preparing to take Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yun out of Luoyang City to play.

As soon as I entered the verdant house, I turned around and came out, and when I got to the door, there was already a luxury carriage parked on the side of the road.

"Miss Yang, I'll help you get into the car."

Li Mao trotted all the way over, stretched out his hand, and wanted to help Yang Yuhuan get into the car.

Perhaps realizing that the Yang siblings also came in a carriage, he added, "This carriage is more spacious and sits steadily, and I will have your carriage moved to the stable." ”

Yang Yuhuan looked at Yang Yun suspiciously.

Yang Yun asked knowingly, "Your Highness also wants to ride with you?" ”

Li Mao was stunned, and suddenly remembered the great defense of etiquette...... After all, there is a difference between men and women, he is neither married nor married, and he is far from being familiar enough to be in the same car.

"No, no, I'm riding along." Li Mao hurriedly explained, then beckoned, and immediately an entourage led his horse over.

Yang Yuhuan nodded with satisfaction, this time she didn't avoid Li Mao, and let Li Mao hold her arm and get into the carriage.

Yang Yun also jumped into the carriage, sat next to the horseman, looked at the coachman with a dumbfounded look, and said, "I'll drive." ”

"Daochang Yang is a distinguished guest, how can he bother the distinguished guest to catch the car? Why don't I prepare the horses for the chief, and you and I can ride out of the city together? Li Mao asked.

Yang Yuhuan lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you just listen to His Royal Highness King Shou, and it's not bad to ride a horse occasionally." ”

"I'm not good at riding in the bottom, I'm afraid of delaying time." Yang Yun shrugged.

"It's okay, it's okay to go slower...... Going out of the city is already for sightseeing, so why hurry? Prepare a good horse for Yang Daochang. ”

Li Mao said enthusiastically.

……

……

A group went out of the city from the east gate of Luoyang and walked along Luoshui.

Li Mao was very interested, and he was talking with Yang Yuhuan along the way, and with the riverside scenery as a common topic, he no longer seemed to have stage fright, and he had confidence in his words.

“…… Miss Yang saw that the large piece of woodland near Luoshui in the east was given to me by my father, and together with the village in the distance, there were more than 500 acres of land over there, and more will be given to me after the establishment of the mansion in the future. ”

Li Mao was very happy and showed her family property to the girl she loved, so that the girl knew that she was capable of supporting the family.

Yang Yuhuan heard that he looked out of the window of the carriage, in early spring, the ridges of the fields were light green, and he really couldn't tell the boundary between the fields, but he was still very happy.

"My father's imperial weapon is very important, he named me the king at the age of six, and at the age of eight, he was the governor of Yizhou, and he must be more preferential after getting married." Li Mao had a smug look on her face.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "Your emperor father has long seen that you are not the material to be a prince, and because your mother wants you to be a prince, so he will reward you with some more false titles and field houses, in order to block your mother's mouth, so that you can be a noble prince with peace of mind and live the rest of your life...... Do you really think your father values you so much? ”

Yang Yuhuan was quite interested: "Your Highness, why don't we go to the village and have a look." ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "Today I am out of the city to play, don't go to that village, the road over there is very muddy, we have to go to Wan'an Temple to find Xianyi, and there is someone to introduce to you." ”

"Who?" Yang Yuhuan asked.

Li Mao pretended to be mysterious: "You'll know when the time comes, Daoist Yang, the person I want to see today has also heard about you, and I have long wanted me to take you to meet her." ”

Yang Yun smiled and said, "It's an honor." ”

……

……

The convoy continued to move forward, and the official road was wide and smooth, with caravans passing by from time to time.

After walking five or six miles out of the city, I really entered the wilderness and saw the post house from a distance, but the road in front seemed to be congested, and many cars and horses were jammed together.

"What's going on? Go and see. ”

Li Mao pointed to the front and instructed the guards beside him.

Before the guards could set out to investigate, they saw thirty or forty horsemen in the distance running quickly through the field, the hooves of the horses roaring, and a group of cavalrymen in armor galloping freely, as if they were hunting, and there were prey running forward.

Far away, it was not clear what these people looked like, but Li Mao was very clear, shook his head and sighed: "It's the prince, the fifth brother and the starling brother." ”

Li Mao's brows were furrowed, and he was a little worried, which showed that he was very jealous of these people.

The few people in Li Mao's mouth are the protagonists of the "Disaster of the Three Concubines" a few years later, the crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao, and the king of light Li Ju, who were demoted to concubines because of the framing of Concubine Wu Hui and were killed.

Yang Yun had seen Li Ju in Luoyang Palace before, and it was the first time that Li Ying and Li Yao had met.

"What are they doing?"

Yang Yuhuan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, and asked Li Mao.

Li Mao sighed: "I guess I came out to hunt...... His father ordered that the prince should not be allowed to lead troops to hunt and harass the people, and if they did so, if their father knew about it, they would be punished. ”

Yang Yuhuan didn't know what to do, and asked curiously: "It's still early spring, everything is recovering, is there any prey to fight?" ”

Yang Yun explained with a smile: "I think it was a few highnesses who brought their prey out and released it in the wilderness...... Hunting on horseback is just like when we go out to play, as long as there is no obstacle between each other, it is actually nothing. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Li Mao agrees with Yang Yun's point of view, "Let's wait for them to pass, and wait for the road to be clear before leaving." ”

Yang Yuhuan's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he said, "Your Highness, why don't you go over and say hello to a few brothers?" ”

Li Mao said with a disgraced face: "Forget it, I don't deal with them, I just don't have fun with myself." ”
