Chapter 238: The Storm Rises Again
"I like it, I like it." Yan Wu nodded heavily, and the brilliant smile on his face was not concealed at all, completely expressing his love for the beautiful scenery in front of him.
The smile on the corner of Zhan Ge's mouth deepened a little: "It's good to like it, I also have a few places like this, and I'll take you to see them later."
"Really? In this way, you are also a rich party! ”
"If you like it, what if you take it?"
Yan Wushuang walked in front, his long hair was flying, his slender jade hands were caressing the gorgeous flowers, and the contrast between red and white made Zhan Ge's eyes a little deeper, which was his consistent indifference, and he never let Yan Wushuang find anything wrong.
When the excitement finally came, Yan Wushuang sat on the intertwined roots of a century-old tree, feeling comfortable: "I feel that I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, when I was in the capital, although it was very comfortable, but I don't know why, I often feel very depressed."
Zhan Ge's eyes flashed with shame, and when he looked up, he was normal, but the tenderness in his eyes was too indulgent.
"Do you want to go around and have fun?"
"That's right, this is what I have always hoped for, the capital is prosperous, how many people yearn for it, I am in it, and I do often feel depressed. Perhaps, I'll figure it out after a walk. ”
stretched lazily, and Yan Wushuang's starry eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
"The magnificence of the desert, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the vastness of the East China Sea, the mystery of the southern Xinjiang, each of them, is what I yearn for, I want to explore those mysterious lands in person, to see the people living there, the culture there, the water and soil there, are all what I have in mind."
After a slight pause, Yan Wushuang raised his head and smiled indifferently: "Speaking of these stories, I have only read them in scripts and travelogues, but I have never experienced them, and I can't help myself, and I don't dare."
"It is a very dangerous thing for a girl's family to go so far away after all, whether it is me or His Royal Highness the Tang King's mother-in-law, I am unwilling."
Zhan Ge saw that Yan Wu's eyebrows were a little worried, and he still said the surprise he had for her.
"Do you know who I am now?"
"Huh?" Turning his head suspiciously, Yan Wushuang frowned slightly: "One word side by side?"
"Yes, part of my duty is to go to various places on behalf of His Majesty, visit the lives of the people, and observe the law and order in all directions.
In Yan Wushuang's faintly shining eyes, Zhan Ge smiled slightly, showing the demeanor of a general: "But now, a few years have passed, Your Majesty has handled things decently, and with the assistance of the prime minister and others, I can leave the capital with confidence."
"But if you go for a year and a half for this kind of thing, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Although it was a puzzled tone, Yan Wushuang couldn't wait for Zhan Ge to hurry up.
She went to so many places alone, I was afraid that if she let her mother or Tang Wang know, I was afraid that she would not even be able to get out of the gate of the palace side by side, and she would have to be strictly guarded.
Tidying up Yan Wushuang's somewhat disheveled hair, Zhan Ge became more and more spoiled: "There is nothing inappropriate, there is something that needs to be discussed, the flying pigeon is the book, but you need to wait, at least wait until the envoys of the barbarians and the Huns are gone, and the capital is quiet again."
"I've been waiting for so long, so I can afford to wait for such a little time. But are you sure that after we return to Beijing, the envoys of the barbarians and the Xiongnu should take their leave? ”
Yan Wushuang was happy in his heart, and he spoke briskly, but he thought of some complicated reasons and had some doubts about this.
"I know what you're worried about, but now is not the right time, and I just hope that Princess Tang can understand." Looking at the beautiful poppy, Zhan Ge's expression was complicated......
In the evening, he finally arrived at the side of the palace, the speed was very fast along the way, Yan Wushuang sat in the thick carriage, and he couldn't stand it, and when he got off the carriage, he was hugged down by Zhan Ge.
The complexion is a little pale, and the lips are slightly purple, which makes people feel very distressed when they look at it.
Carrying Yan Wushuang all the way back to the bedroom, Zhan Ge asked the divine doctor to see it, and then he was relieved.
It's just a tiring journey, a little tired, just drink some medicine and rest.
"Shuangshuang, you serve Madame well, if Madame wakes up and asks me where I went, you will say that I went to the palace, I have something to discuss with Your Majesty, and I will come back soon, so don't worry about it."
"General rest assured, the slave and maid will not leave an inch and guard here."
Zhan Ge left with peace of mind, and in the room, the bed curtain hung down quietly, and Yan Wushuang slept very peacefully.
Tang Wangfu, Princess Tang's study, dressed in luxurious palace clothes, Princess Tang, who was more and more inoffensive, sat on the main throne, looking restless, even if she turned the Buddha beads between her fingers, she couldn't be quiet.
"Princess, please invite the young lady over." Qiu Xiang was worried and reminded beside her.
The Buddha beads were placed on the desk made of sandalwood with a "snap", and Princess Tang closed her eyes and opened her eyes, and she looked calm again.
"No, Mo'er hasn't even figured out her own affairs now, so why can she relieve my worries? Besides, she is the daughter of the prince after all, and she is also biased towards the prince in her heart. ”
Sure enough, his daughter Princess Tang understands best.
"How can this be? Although the county lord doesn't know some things completely, he doesn't know it......" Qiu Xiang hurriedly argued, the county lord of Chengping also grew up with her, and she felt that it would not be such a child.
"Qiu Xiang, there are some things I don't want to admit more than you, but I have to admit that if Mo'er hadn't interfered in this matter, I would have gotten what I wanted now, instead of having to endure humiliation like now."
Taking a deep breath, Princess Tang's eyes were dark.
"She's my daughter, so I'll protect her. However, there are some things that I will definitely not let go, the envoys of the barbarians and the Huns are about to leave the capital, if I can't seize the opportunity this time, I don't know when I will be able to recognize my son. ”
Qiu Xiang hurriedly knelt down, her face a little worried: "The slave understands the princess's thoughts, but should the princess first open her mouth with His Royal Highness the King or His Royal Highness the Tang King to see when it is most appropriate?"
"No, I know what to do about my affairs, and sometimes they will show enough sympathy when they are already vulnerable in front of others, and when the time comes, they will have to help me."
Thinking about the law in her heart, Princess Tang rejected Qiu Xiang's bitter begging: "You go and arrange it, and sort out all the evidence we got that belongs to the prince, I have to use it."
“…… Yes, Princess. Seeing that she couldn't persuade herself, Qiu Xiang could only compromise, no matter what, she and the princess would advance and retreat together, and they would never be separated.
In the corner where no one was looking, a touch of blue skirt flashed by......
On the third day after returning to the capital, it was the farewell banquet of the barbarians and the Xiongnu, and the officials who came this time were all people with a pivotal position in the court, and it happened to be just enough for the inner hall of the Jinluan Palace.
Although the number of people was not as large as before, the degree of solemnity was not lower than that of the previous banquet.
When Yan Wushuang entered in a light golden palace dress, he was basically almost seated inside, although Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge were not very old, but their identities were enough.
After taking a seat, Yan Wushuang found that on her left hand side were Wei Guogong and his wife, but they hadn't come yet, and on the opposite side was His Royal Highness King Sheng, as for Ning Yao'er, before she was officially married, Ning Yao'er did not appear in these scenes.
His Royal Highness King Sheng can only sit bored, next to King Sheng, she is directly opposite the prime minister and his wife, and the prime minister and his wife are the family of Princess Tang.
As for Yan Wushuang's right hand, the one sitting is naturally the Hejian Wangfu family, and the other generals guarding the frontier are all in a very high position.
These positions are carefully calculated to ensure that everyone is comfortable and has enough status.
After Yan Wushuang and the county lord of Qingdai quietly greeted each other, before they could say anything, a eunuch outside announced that the saint had arrived.
Two steps back next to the saint, there is Wei Guogong and his wife, and behind Wei Guogong and his wife, followed by Xu Rong, Ning Qing and Liu Yuan, all three of them are young talents and people trusted by His Majesty.
When the Xuandi dragon robe fell on the throne, and with the words of the saint, everyone thanked him.
"This banquet is to send the two envoys away, coming to the capital for such a long time, I am afraid that they miss their homeland very much, after the banquet, the envoys return to the country with the gifts specially prepared by me, and the returning king will naturally be able to understand my intentions."
What the saint said sounded fine, but in Yan Wushuang's opinion, it seemed to carry some calculation.
"Dayi is the main country, where can they come as they say, leave as they say, set off a storm, and pat their butts and leave, naturally to teach them some lessons, and it also symbolizes that Dayi is not so easy to bully."
Seeing Yan Wushuang's doubts, Zhan Ge whispered in her ear.
"Got it, got it." Counting how many things have come out after the envoys of the Huns and barbarians entered Beijing, Lin'er can have such an upbringing, and Yanwushuang has to thank the prime minister for his intentions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, may our two countries coexist peacefully and friendship forever." Temur hid the worry in his heart, got up, and put his right hand into a fist on the left side of his chest, respectfully and politely.
Mandu Ratu glanced at Mu Qi who was next to him, and saluted with the same etiquette as Temur: "Thank you Your Majesty for your attention, may our two countries coexist peacefully and friendship forever."
"This meal is made by the royal guidance of the imperial dining room, and the envoy should taste it well." The Holy Lord praised Yan Wushuang perfectly, and gave the messenger a sigh.
Just when the banquet was going smoothly, Princess Tang took out a delicate silk handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the corners of her untouched mouth, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
Only then did he get up, and under the eyes of everyone who were either surprised or understood, he walked to the center of the Jinluan Hall dignified and noble, knelt on the ground, looked up at His Majesty above, and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for your concubines......"
