Chapter 1: Return to the Imperial Capital
Chapter 1: Return to the Imperial Capital
"Miss, Miss, Longhuang is almost here!" She closed the window of the car softly, and her pink cheeks turned even redder from excitement, and she looked very cute and cute.
"Really?" After sitting in the carriage for many days, the freshness when I went on the road has long been exhausted, I only feel that the bones are going to be torn apart, listening to her say that the spirit came to the time, and I hurriedly poked my head out, and sure enough, I saw a city gate in front of me towering into the clouds, and the city gate hung with the gilded word "Longhuang" as strong and powerful as in memory, and the momentum was magnificent. The suspension bridge of the moat has slowly fallen, and the people who are waiting to enter the city have gathered by the bridge, as if they have seen Daddy's handsome flag, and the crowd has gradually become mocking.
As our procession got closer and closer to the city gate, more and more people gathered, and people were not busy entering the city, but only stood on both sides of the road and celebrated with each other, and everyone was beaming with joy on their faces, and many people shouted Daddy's name and asked Daddy to come to their house to eat and drink.
Dad was named the Marquis of Dingyuan, far away from the imperial capital for many years, and today he was ordered to return to the court, and there are still a lot of people who don't want to remember him. After staying at the gate of the city for a while, my father and the officials who came to greet him were polite, and the team set off again, after entering the city, I asked Qianrou to open the curtains, and found that although I had been away for ten years, the streets and scenery of the imperial capital had no important changes, and for a while I felt that there was a lack of interest, and I was about to put down the curtain, and I heard the sound of the third brother's lion clattering the wind. Sure enough, the third brother shook the folding fan with the agarwood skeleton in a leisurely manner, and a peach blossom was drawn out of the wall on the folding fan quite vulgarly. However, I guess that the women of the imperial capital have either never seen anyone shake a fan in winter, or think that his folding fan is a rare thing, because from that small window I have seen many young girls and no longer young ladies with peach blossom eyes, and their moist eyes seem to grow on his folding fan, and they do not want to let go for a moment.
I told my opinion to the third brother, his peach-blossom-like smile disappeared immediately, his face was wrinkled like the folds of xiaolongbao, crushing a lot of hearts, only to hear a sigh of breath, and looked at me sadly: "My young lady, can't you see that they are fascinated by the third young master of our family?" ”
I suddenly said: "What you say seems to be like this. ”
There was another layer of folds on the third brother's face, "Quickly put down the curtain and scare others carefully!" ”
I was about to speak, but I saw my father also coming, he first glared at the third brother, and then turned to me and smiled with a spring breeze: "Ah Mo, quickly put down the curtain, you look so good, you can't let others see it!" ”
As soon as I thought about it, I was about to put the curtain down, who would have thought that it was too late, Miss Ben's delicate face had already been seen clearly and thoroughly.
"Look, look, is that the young lady of the general's family?"
"Oh, indeed, tsk, this look, it's really handsome!"
"I've heard for a long time that the young lady of the general's family is handsome, and it's really good at first glance!"
I listened to these praises with great pleasure, and raised my face at the third brother quite proudly, he was probably not convinced, and with his legs between the wind, he covered his face and ran away.
"No wonder the one in the imperial city wants the general to come back, and the general is afraid that he will be the national ruler!"
I was shocked when I heard this sentence, the saint is three years younger than his father today, and he really doesn't want Miss Ben to marry such an old man! Daddy seemed to know what I was thinking, and sighed, "If that's the case...... Who told you to look like your mother? ”
Then he fell into endless memories of his mother, my father had two beloved women in his life, one was me, and the other was my mother who had passed away for ten years, every time I thought of my mother, his expression was overshadowed, and my heart sank.
"Oh, the young lady of the general's family is so handsome, and the maid she serves is so ugly! It scares the hell out of me! ”
"Not really! You see her face swinging, as if her face hit the doorknob, and it makes people angry when she sees it! ”
"You don't know, the ugliness of the maid can bring out the beauty of the young lady!"
I glanced up at Qianrou, and saw that she was also staring at me, her face was very angry, but it was inconvenient to attack in front of me, so she put down the curtain fiercely: "Miss, they ......"
Although Qianrou couldn't talk about sinking fish and geese when she was in Biluo City, she was also one of the most prominent beauties to be married in the city, and she never thought that the people in Dijing would have such a high vision, and she would be so unbearable to her, she must be uncomfortable in her heart. I waved my hand at her to comfort: "It's not your fault that you are ugly, your face is determined, you don't have to be angry, it's just that." ”
The corners of her mouth twitched, in the end, I educated it, and I just suppressed the fire, but the people in this imperial capital are really unkind, and they are still talking when they are far away, and I can't help but listen to the foot of the wall.
"Yes, yes, that's true!"
"I think the young lady of the general's family is handsome, if you want to say that the beauty is still the young lady of our Xiangye's family, then it is called Tianzi Guose!"
"Then the young lady of Xiangye's family didn't enter the palace?"
"Ouch, it's useless, the phoenix soared into the sky on Lotus Mountain a month ago!"
"Lotus Mountain? Which Lotus Mountain? ”
"Which one else, isn't it the Lotus Mountain in Biluo City, the fiefdom of the Marquis of Dingyuan!"
"That's terrible, it seems that the young lady of the general's family is about to soar into the sky!"
"I think so, I heard that the emperor also set up a banquet for the general's family to catch the wind and wash the dust......"
"Oh! That's ......."
……
Sitting opposite me, her expression became more and more sad, and I had to be sad, according to legend, many years ago, when the saint was not the emperor, he fell in love with his mother, but his mother married his father, and later gave birth to the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and me, with the birth of one child after another, the father thought that the emperor had died to the mother, and never thought that the mother had passed away, he actually came to mourn in person, I was only six years old at the time, just watched from afar, his appearance was blurred, but the sad expression was the same as the father.
Dad said that I have looked like my mother since I was a child, and now I look more and more like, if the emperor takes a fancy to me at the reception banquet tomorrow night, how can I be good.
Thinking about it, I still have more than a month to get married, the so-called cardamom tip, is at the age of marriage, the eldest brother has been an official in the imperial capital for more than three years, and the emperor has long known that I look like my mother, maybe he is using this auspicious day as an excuse to recall my father back to the imperial capital, and then he fell in love with me at first sight and finally included in the harem, in order to make up for the pain of not being able to get my mother's relatives back then.
"Miss, you, are you ......" Qianrou had turned from sorrow to fear, she swallowed her saliva, "Are you thinking too much......"
"Hey, I also hope that I think too much, but ......," I said quietly, "I don't think this way without basis......
