Chapter 3: The Princess

The youngest daughter of Daozong, Princess Dayong Ye Xingcan, grew up in Yongning Palace, together with Ye Yao, the king of Yongning.

Although the prince and princess treated her very well, Ye Xingcan occasionally thought of her father and the long-deceased mother, and she was very aggrieved. Just because Si Tianjian watched the stars and said that the little princess and the prince's fate were compatible, he was sent to the Yongning Palace.

At that time, Concubine Chu Guifei died in childbirth, and Ye Xingcan was sent to the Yongning Palace, thousands of miles away, before the full moon. The word "Xingcan" still reflects the single word "Yao" of the little prince who was 5 years old at the time, and two years later, he was canonized as "Princess Xingyao", and the title was even connected with Ye Yao's name, but it was far from the title of the princess of the Dayong Dynasty.

Thinking about it, not counting the two years when he lost his memory, Ye Xingcan only saw his father twice, once when he was eight years old, when he had a fever for more than ten days, and Daozong rushed to Jianxing overnight.

It is also strange that since the Dao Sect entered the city, Ye Xingcan's body temperature began to drop. Regardless of the hard work of the journey, Daozong guarded Princess Xingyao for two days and two nights, until his condition stabilized, and then rushed back to the imperial capital.

Ye Xingcan still remembers waking up from a serious illness and seeing the face of a haggard middle-aged man, strange and inexplicably kind, although full of vicissitudes and with a trace of white hair, he is still handsome and burly.

It seems that she doesn't know how to face the little princess who was sent away since she was a child, the Taoist sect who once swept the northern continent, watched her little daughter wake up, didn't say much, and left in a hurry.

The second time was Ye Yao succeeding to the throne.

It stands to reason that for a hundred years, King Yongning has succeeded to the throne, and the saint will not be present in person, and King Yongning cannot leave the fiefdom, and it is not legal for the emperor to travel thousands of miles. But perhaps because Ye Yao was the first King of Yongning surnamed Ye with royal blood in two hundred years, Daozong actually authorized Yang Su, the king of Yongning, to come to Tonglinguan with the little prince Ye Yao and two hundred personal guards to personally canonize Ye Yao on the throne.

Of course, there was also the princess of the current dynasty Xingyao, the future princess of Yongning, Ye Xingcan.

In Tonglinguan, the eleven-year-old Ye Xingcan and the sixteen-year-old new Yongning King Ye Yao knelt down in front of the Daozong together, but they never dared to look up at their father, and the Daozong did not summon the princess alone to describe the relationship between father and daughter.

In those days, Ye Xingcan always liked to peek at the Taoist sect from a distance, in a daze, several times Ye Yao wanted to take her to the emperor's side, but the little girl timidly avoided it, ran away and couldn't help but look back, she wanted to remember her father's appearance, wanted to remember her father's posture, and wanted to remember everything about her father.

It was also at that time that Princess Ancheng came to Tonglin Pass with Daozong and met the legendary jade-faced little prince Ye Yao for the first time. Although Ye Yao always explained later that he did not notice Princess Ancheng back then, Ancheng came to Jianxing three years later on the pretext of recuperation.

Back that year, Princess Ancheng grabbed Ye Xingcan, who was hiding next to her and peeking at the Taoist sect, looking at this little girl who had not yet grown up, she couldn't help but get angry, why is there nothing here, the mother concubine is still a monster The girl turned out to be the future Princess Yongning, and it was clear that she and Ye Yao were the best match.

But I didn't know that the queen knew that the Yongning Palace held military power and was powerful in the northwest, but the successive emperors were also jealous, and they were worried that Ye Yao would not live to be ten years old, and they were afraid that Princess Ancheng would have a reputation as "Kefu", so she refused to give marriage. Only then did Daozong logically refer to the baby girl who had just been born to Concubine Chu at that time.

Who would have thought that Ye Yao would not only grow up, succeed the throne, but also be so handsome and handsome, and then think about his future husband's weak appearance, Ancheng is even more resentful. I couldn't help but pinch Ye Xingcan's arm with more strength, and her tears were about to come out in pain, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of shocking the Dao Sect.

But somehow, Daozong, who was sitting on the stage discussing with the father and son of King Yongning, actually came over, looked at the two princesses and just smiled gently, and easily "rescued" Xiao Xingcan from An Cheng's hands.

He touched Ye Xingcan's little head, looked at this little girl who was wearing a goose yellow skirt and didn't dare to look up at herself, she was very gentle, and then took Ye Xingcan's little hand and came to the upper floor of Tonglin Guancheng.

Pointing to the mountains and rivers of Dayong, he said, "In the past, my father also stood here with your mother, she always said, what is there to see in this mountain and water, in a blink of an eye, my little princess has grown so big, she is as good-looking as your mother, and if she is bigger, she will definitely fall into the country and the city, and maybe she can also fall into the world."

Ye Xingcan always remembered the way his father smiled. But I never thought that a joke would become a prophecy many years later.

————————

In Ye Yao's eyes, when he was five years old, he couldn't figure out what the princess was doing, so Ye Xingcan was sent to the palace. He looked at the little baby, with yellow skin, not as big as his own arm, and he didn't understand what the emperor who was far away in the imperial capital was doing when he sent such a little baby.

The mother concubine said that this is her future princess, and she must not be abandoned for the rest of her life.

In fact, Ye Yao at that time didn't understand what a lifetime was, he just felt that it was like his father and mother, and it was good to respect each other like guests. The mother concubine also took out two jade pendants, one engraved with the dragon soaring in the nine heavens and put it on her neck, and the other was a phoenix reborn from the fire and put it on the neck of the little baby.

In this way, Ye Yao watched Ye Xingcan grow up little by little, took her little hand and walked all over Jianxing, and rode all over the northwest border, teaching riding, taking martial arts, and even accompanying Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When he was a teenager, there was always a young man who played with him and laughed at Ye Yao, always bringing a little daughter-in-law, which stirred everyone's interest. Ye Yao was not annoyed, he promised not to bring it in the future, and the next time he traveled, Ye Xingcan's little head still poked out from behind Ye Yao, blinking and smiling at everyone.

Zhou Tan, the third boy of Zhou Sushen, the master of the Laxue Iron Horseman, always chattered, and the dignified King Yongning was trapped by such a little girl before he opened the meat, I heard that not only during the day, but sometimes thunder and lightning at night, he had to go to the boudoir to sleep.

Every time he talked about this, Ye Xingcan would run away shyly, but he couldn't run ten meters, and he was allowed to walk back, tiptoeing at the corners of Ye Yao's clothes, and then looking at Zhou Tan and these fox friends and dog friends with arrogance, full of little girl's heart.

In the eighth year of Jingning, Ye Yao was sixteen years old, succeeded to the throne of Yongning in Tonglinguan, and as soon as he returned to Jianxing, he was pulled out of the palace by a group of brothers before he drank tea, pulled to Wanchun Courtyard, and dragged directly into the most expensive Nuanxiang Pavilion.

When Ye Yao was a teenager, although he did a lot of bastard things, because of the entrustment of his mother Ye Yan before his death, he only had one princess in his life, and he did not let Ye Xingcan be wronged and hurt at all. Even if he came a few times to save the beauty of the heroes, he provoked the young ladies and girls of Jianxing to think about spring every day, but he never provoked them, and this Qinlou Chu Pavilion has never set foot in it.

This time he was pulled directly, and as soon as he entered, the room full of warblers and warblers Yanyan stared directly at the new King of Yongning, Ye Yao, who was looking at it, was inexplicably nervous, took a deep breath, and without waiting for the soles of his feet to be oiled, Zhou Tan stuffed an oiran called "Ying Niang" into Ye Yao's arms. The reason why Oiran is Oiran is that in addition to being the most beautiful, there must be other attractions, this Ying Niang is a snow muscle blowing can be broken, it is said that she also plays a good piano, blows a good mouth, but today the King of Yongning is already on the side, Ying Niang is reluctant to get up and go to the front of the stage to play the piano and blow the flute, how good it is to be by the side of the prince.

The beauty was on the side, Ye Yao was uncomfortable, how did he feel that it was not interesting to lead the troops to fight, and he thought that if he didn't return home at night, Ye Xingcan must have been waiting, so he tried to escape under the pretext of going out. I didn't want to be caught by Shen Chun, who came late, as soon as I arrived at the door, and said that Yongning Wang Lian was afraid of the child, or he would be "tied" by the eleven-year-old little princess.

At this moment, Ye Yao poured his spirit, not only strode back to the Nuanxiang Pavilion, but also faced a room of brothers and a room full of swallows and thin ring fat, and revealed Shen Chun's old bottom, "It is said that the three families of Dayong are 'Jiangnan Liu, Lingdong Wang, Northwest Shen', Mr. Shen is a giant in the literary world, listen to the name of Brother Shen - Shen Qiubai, Autumn Baihua, Baihua Baihua, Baimao Shuxi, the son of Zhiyuan." He also deliberately paused, "Who knows what the name Shen Chun means?" ”

Ye Yao didn't wait for Shen Chun to pounce, so he glanced at Zhou Tan, Zhou Tan pounced on a tiger, smashed two hundred catties over, and pressed Shen Chun to death. Ye Yao continued, "Actually, how can Mr. Shen favor one over the other, wasn't our little Brother Shen born in the spring, the old man had an idea, so he took one, spring flowers, hahaha......"

Now, the room is full of "spring flowers" and "spring flowers...... Shouting, the angry Shen Chun just broke free from under Zhou Tan, and he was going to fight hard, where was he Ye Yao's opponent, and he was pressed next to him by the reverse shear. Now, Shen Chun was not annoyed, and shouted at the girls in the room: "Our King Yongning has been guarding himself like jade for sixteen years, buddy can't invite you, don't hurry up!"

This pinch, a room of beauties where is Yingniang still on the side of King Yongning, they are all blatantly discharged, changing their heads and making gestures, only to pounce on Ye Yao, although Ye Xiaowang has seen a lot of the world, but he is still a little unbearable, he felt that his face was hot, and he directly picked up the wine jug on the table and went down.

This commotion is half a night, and when Ye Yao staggered back to the palace, it was already Yin, and seeing that the sun was about to come out later, the new King Yongning made up his mind not to go through the main gate, and went directly to the backyard, and a harrier turned over and fell into the wall. was about to go back to the house, but saw a small figure lying on the table in the nearby gazebo, and when he got closer, it was Ye Xingcan who fell asleep here.

Ye Yao was worried that this girl would freeze to death in order to wait for half a night of sleep here, so she hurriedly hugged Ye Xingcan into her arms, and unconsciously took her kung fu and ran to the boudoir "Xingyue Pavilion". Carefully pushed open the door, so as not to alarm Cui'er, who was sleeping in the next room, and was about to put Ye Xingcan on the bed, but saw the little girl with a pair of big eyes, looking at herself flickering.

Ye Yao smiled, rubbed the little girl's head, and helped her take off her coat full of cold air, stuffing the whole child into the futon, and told her that if she returned late in the future, she would go to bed early and not wait in the gazebo.

After saying that, he was about to leave, but seeing Ye Xingcan's bright eyes looking at him without turning, and his little hand didn't know when he was dragging the corner of his clothes, Ye Yao had no choice but to take off his coat and lie next to Ye Xingcan. The little girl rubbed Ye Yao's side with a smile and muttered in a low voice: "Brother, is the sister in Wanchun Courtyard really good-looking?" ”

This question frightened Ye Yao and almost rolled out of bed, "Who told you that I went to Wanchun Courtyard?" ”。 Seeing Ye Xingcan's little head hanging and unwilling to answer, he educated her righteously, "Don't listen to people's nonsense, this Wanchun Courtyard is a academy, and they are all old masters, where did the women come from." ”

The little girl obviously didn't believe it, and was angry, "Brother Zhou Tan said, the Oiran there is better than the fairies, you must like it." ”

Ye Yao's head was big for a while, and while thinking about how to clean up Zhou Tan's group of bad friends when he turned around, he pretended to be calm and continued to talk nonsense, "What have you seen fairies?" Don't listen to Zhou Tan's nonsense, I just talked about the scriptures with the masters, and I drank a few sips when I was happy, I don't believe that I will take you to ask tomorrow. ”

After listening to Ye Yao's explanation and smelling the faint aroma of wine, Ye Xingcan thought that Zhou Tan always lied to her, but she couldn't believe it, so she fell asleep on Ye Yao's arm.
