Chapter 227 Sideways
On the 22nd day of April in the second year of Xianheng, the sky was gray and overcast, and the thin rain was sprouting with the wind, like a fog and a dream, giving people a sense of ethereal beauty, and relieving the unbearable heat in early summer, perhaps because of this, the people gathered outside the West City Gate were obviously more old and young than the officials of the Ministry of Rites expected, and the officials of Luoyang Mansion who were responsible for maintaining order were all busy and sweating, but no one dared to complain indiscriminately, just because this suburban welcoming ceremony was specially organized for one person, That person is the British King Li Xian, who is about to return in triumph!
The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, has always valued military merits, and Li Xian with the respect of the prince, dare to lead a brigade of partial divisions across hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, its brave and good war name has already spread throughout the government and the opposition, people at the time do not regard it as a hero, and now the reputation is triumphant, since no one does not want to experience the heroic appearance of this famous king of the world, not to mention the legend of the world's brilliant princess will also return, such heroes and beauties will always be the most moving and eternal legend, but can look at a few glances, since it can add a little more boastful talk after dinnerAs far as the virtue of the Chinese people has always been good at joining in the fun, not to mention the light rain, even the downpour will not extinguish the curiosity of the Chinese people.
"It's coming, it's coming, look, it's His Royal Highness!"
There are many people, the mouth is mixed, of course, there is no shortage of sharp-eyed people, a fiery red battle flag on the mountain road in the distance has just revealed a corner, and some people roared excitedly, in an instant, the crowd that was laughing and talking chaotically was instantly quiet, and the eyes of countless people focused on the slowly galloping convoy, and in a few moments, in the sound of drums, the convoy had come to the front, and there was a tall and heroic young man sitting on the white horse of the first horse, except for Li Xian, who was more!
"Seventh brother, seventh brother, I'm here, here......"
Without waiting for the night lion horse under Li Xian's crotch to completely stop, Princess Taiping, who had already been so excited, shook off the care of the grandmothers beside her, and rushed forward while running, waving her little hands, screaming wildly.
"Little Sister ......"
Li Xu, the king of Yin, who was ordered to preside over the suburban welcome ceremony, was stable by nature, although he was also excited by Li Xian's arrival, but he clenched his fists with a flushed face, and did not have too gaffe behavior. But when walking, he is quite calm.
"Little sister!"
Li Xian originally loved the little girl Taiping, and after walking between life and death this time, he cherished this rare brother-sister love in the heavenly family, and when he saw Princess Taiping rushing over in disregard, a warm current surged in his heart, and he turned over and got off the horse with laughter, and lifted Princess Taiping up.
"Seventh brother, you are finally back, but you want your little sister to die."
Princess Taiping obviously enjoyed Li Xian's love and pet, Gege smiled and got into Li Xian's arms, rubbing Li Xian's chest with her little head, and sprinkled coquettishly.
"Seventh brother, you have worked hard all the way, and the younger brother came to greet you at the behest of his father."
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Li Xulun has grown a lot taller, and he is much calmer than before, and after quietly watching Li Xian's brothers and sisters laugh, he slowly stepped forward and bowed to the end.
"There's Eighth Brother Lao, well, yes, I've grown a lot taller, like a big man, okay!"
Li Xian tried to put Princess Taiping down on the ground, but this little girl refused to land, Li Xian had no choice but to let it hang on his neck, tilted his head sideways, and looked at Li Xulun with interest, then smiled and reached out to pat Li Xulun's shoulder, and praised him.
"Seventh brother is too famous, little brother, little brother ......"
was praised by Li Xian like this, Li Xulun's face turned red immediately, and he smiled shyly.
"Seventh brother, didn't you say that you brought back a sister-in-law, where is it, where is it?"
didn't wait for Li Xulun to finish speaking, Princess Taiping couldn't wait to shout, clamoring to see her new sister-in-law, no matter how Li Xian coaxed, she had no choice but to call a little palace maid and ask her to ask Princess Mingyue to get out of the car to meet.
Princess Mingyue is generous by nature, even in the face of such an occasion of more than ten thousand people's attention, she is also not stage frightened, Li Xian summoned the first one, Princess Mingyue sitting in the carriage was waited by the palace maids to get out of the car, and walked all the way forward, the fluttering white clothes, beautiful face, and blonde and blue-eyed exotic style, instantly conquered everyone present, etc., and the audience was surprised for a while.
"Hmph, vixen, it's a lot of commotion, it's not like you have to make a small one for Miss, hum!"
Obviously, not everyone appreciates the beauty of Princess Mingyue, no, the little girl Zijuan who accompanied Zhao Qiong in the crowd of greetings, was very unconvinced, pouted, and cursed in a disdainful voice.
"Zijuan, don't talk nonsense, Your Highness ......"
Looking at Princess Mingyue standing beside Li Xian, Zhao Qiong's heart was originally excited by Li Xian's return, and when she heard Zijuan say this, she was even more distressed, and halfway through the scolding, tears couldn't stop flowing, and she turned her head and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and ran towards the carriage parked nearby.
"Miss, wait for me, Miss......"
Zijuan obviously didn't expect Zhao Qiong's reaction to be so strong, and when she saw Zhao Qiong hurrying away, she panicked and chased out of the crowd shouting......
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are still waiting in the palace, look at this ......"
Li Xianzi, who was in the spotlight, didn't know that his backyard was already "on fire", but he just chatted with Li Xulun with a smile, and let Princess Taiping, the pestering little girl, go and talk to Princess Mingyue endlessly, and I don't know where the little girl in Taiping came from so many questions. Cui Minghao, the guest of the Ministry of Rites who was waiting on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to rub his head in front of Li Xian and the two brothers, and cautiously mentioned something.
Let no one wait and can't let the emperor Lao Tzu wait, this is a big matter of principle, as soon as he heard Cui Minghao say this, Li Xianzi did not dare to slack off, and after smiling and accompanying a crime, he beckoned his subordinates to enter the city in a mighty manner, accompanied by Li Xulun and Princess Taiping at the palace gate to hand over the sign of invitation, and in a moment, the palace passed out the will of the Liangyi Palace, and the three brothers and sisters talked and laughed all the way to the outside of the Liangyi Palace.
"Sons and daughters will knock to see the father and the queen mother!"
The three brothers and sisters, led by Li Xian, marched into the hall one after the other, and saw Gaozong and Empress Wu sitting side by side on the head, and they didn't dare to slack off, and they each rushed forward to salute and say goodbye.
"Xian'er is back, okay, okay, come, hurry up, let me take a look."
As soon as he saw Li Xian arrive, Gaozong was obviously very happy, and raised his hand with a smile, signaling Li Xian to be exempt.
"Thank you, Father."
Li Xian finished the salute in an orderly manner, then stood up, and the corner of his eye quickly glanced at the situation in the hall, and suddenly found that Ming Chongyan was actually mixed with Pei Xingjian, Li Jingxuan and other prime ministers, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked, but he didn't bring it to his face, just stood honestly with his hands down.
"Well, it's good, it's darker, but it's a lot stronger, okay, Xian'er raised my name as a Tang Dynasty in a battle, good, very good."
Gaozong examined Li Xian for a while, then nodded with satisfaction, and opened his mouth with a burst of praise.
"The father and the emperor have won the award, this time I can win, I rely on the wisdom of my father, and I have three military lives, and my son is just a little labor, and I don't deserve my father's praise." Good words sound pleasing to the ear, but when it is time to be modest, Li Xianzi will not forget to be modest, so he smiled shyly and replied respectfully.
"Mei Niang, look, Xian'er is meritorious but not proud, but does he have the legacy of Taizong?"
Gaozong liked Li Xian more and more, so he smiled and glanced sideways at Empress Wu, and did not hesitate to praise him.
"Your Majesty, Xian'er is really my family's thousand-mile horse."
As soon as he heard that Gaozong had raised Li Xian so high, Empress Wu's pupils shrank slightly, and she smiled and echoed the words.
"Well, that's true, I have a show, and I don't have to worry about it! I said that the day of triumph is the time of Xian'er's wedding, and it is good that this matter has been done early, do you have anything to say about this? Gaozong stroked the long beard on his chest, looked around at the ministers in front of the hall, and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
The prince's wedding is a family affair of the Son of Heaven, and the prime ministers are happy to see it come to fruition, and Pei Xingjian and others have come out to praise it.
"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know whether to say a word or not."
Just when the ministers praised one after another, they saw Ming Chongyan stand up from the end of the team and said aloud.
"Oh? Caritas has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak. ”
Gaozong was obviously very fond of Ming Chongyan, and he was not at all angry because he stood up abruptly, and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Weichen gave a lesson yesterday, for the Kun hexagram, its metaphor is generally that the brother is not married, and the younger brother is first, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the country, now the prince is old, he has not yet married, and he is not in line with the ceremony, for the sake of the community, he should make plans as soon as possible, and what this minister sees is also, I hope that His Majesty will be sacred." Ming Chongyan talked freely with a solemn face, not caring about the surprise of the ministers, and no matter how Li Xian, who was standing aside, felt, after finishing his own words, he immediately retreated to the side, standing still as if nothing had happened......
