Chapter 302: Returning the Pearl (Part 5)
Shendu, the Quartet Hall, the residence of the post-Turkic mission.
Mo Si Khan Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the edge of the table, eagle falcon-like eyes, staring at this young man who had been beaten by him for thirty spines, that day Yun Xi wanted to personally compete with him to test his fists and feet, he had a sense of foreboding, today almost sat down, originally felt that there was a little ability of the promising young man, in his eyes, horizontal and vertical are not pleasing to the eye.
"I heard that you invited a few foreign feudal clans to watch the army, why didn't you have my post-Turks?" After sobbing silently for a long time, he couldn't find anything to say.
"They are all old enemies of the Later Turks, if they invite the Khan, I am afraid it will hurt the atmosphere of cooperation" Quan Ce was indeed a little uneasy in his heart, but he was not for Mo Si, and in the face of his questioning, he did not hide his wariness of the Later Turks.
Mo Si raised his eyebrows, slapped the table and stood up, "Since you don't treat my Houji as your own, what are you doing here?" ”
"Khan, I'm here to see your princess, not you" Quan Ce's face was gloomy, and the irritability that was forcibly suppressed in his heart was scurrying around, "Khan, please forgive me for my simple words, I want to remind you that since you are interested in finding a good husband for your daughter, you must not confuse marriage with tribal interests, otherwise, you will definitely fail both."
"When you came to see me, did you come to play with the majesty of your Celestial Imperial Family? Then I don't welcome you, don't forget, you are my defeated general" Princess Yunxi happened to come to the door at this time, listened to Quan Ce's words, and was annoyed, took a few steps with her long legs, rushed to Quan Ce, her eyes widened, and she stood up for her father.
Quan Ce's breath stagnated, his heart was terrible to the extreme, his expression changed for a long time, he sighed helplessly, bowed his head, and what should be done must be done, "Your Highness, Quan Ce is rude, I am here to invite His Highness, the day before yesterday I heard that His Royal Highness was a little interested in the polo of the Great Zhou, so I invited twelve children of the royal family and twelve children of foreign vassals to compete in the Polo Stadium of Shendu Yuan, if the princess has time, please come and watch"
Seeing his helpless and reluctant feelings, Princess Yunxi felt even more sour in her heart, and blurted out a hard and stern refusal, "I don't have leisure, don't go"
Quan Ce was choked by a sentence and his chest was stuffy, he smiled bitterly, and decided to retreat neatly, that's it, the first person in the royal family is going to become the laughing stock of the royal family, and the invincible image created by several years has been planted in the hands of the alien woman in front of him, his face has been lost, and the scene has been done, no matter what the ending is, the Empress Wu can't blame him, "That's the case, Quan Ce resigned"
"Wait" Princess Yunxi stopped him, Mo Si also stretched out her hand, to stop him, seeing that her daughter opened her mouth, she kept silent, got up and left, what Quan Ce said was not to be heard, but it made sense, he loved his daughter and became obsessed, compared with his daughter's happiness, his face and the interests of the post-Turkic tribe were not worth mentioning.
"If I don't go, will the polo match still be held?" Princess Yunxi looked at her father's back, turned her face up, and looked at Quan Ce, with a few points of crystal glittering in her eyes.
An unprecedented sense of frustration and powerlessness hit, Quan Ce felt cramped, this completely unfamiliar field, and even ignored by him, he didn't want to stay for a moment, bowed down at the moment, and said truthfully, "All the arrangements have been made, and the meeting will be held as scheduled"
"The talking children on the streets of Shendu are all legendary, you love beauties but don't love the country, in order to please me, you don't hesitate to leak the Great Zhou military plane, when the time comes, I won't go, how should you deal with yourself?" A string of crystals slid down her cheeks, Princess Yunxi's eyes were red, her delicate nose kept open, she didn't know why she wanted to think about this arrogant and ruthless guy.
Quan Ce's heart warmed, hesitated, and finally said a few more words, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Quan Ce is not in the way, don't look at me now I seem to be full of flowers, in fact, I was born with the eight characters of the Great Zhou, no matter how difficult the situation is, I have gone through it, and even my life has to be taken away a few times, and it is already easy now."
Princess Yunxi's eyes darkened inexplicably, "Your two actions are so vast, but you are anticlimactic, so how should it end?" Have you ever wondered? ”
Quan Ce smiled and didn't answer, where is this what he should think, since Empress Wu decided to use his marriage to toss, there must be an alternative, there are many foreign domains in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is not difficult to choose individual princesses and relatives of foreign domains.
The two stood opposite each other, and did not speak again for a long time, seeing that the atmosphere was a little weird, Quan Ce was uncomfortable physically and mentally, and proposed to leave, "Your Highness, Quan Ce farewell"
Princess Yunxi twisted the deerskin boots under her feet and stopped in front of him, her tears were like beads with broken threads, her nose was wrinkled, and her mouth was grinning, which was quite ugly, "Don't they all say that men in the Central Plains have a sweet mouth like honey, and they are used to being gentle and petty, coaxing women to be happy?" Why don't you coax me, is Yunxi unworthy? ”
Quan Ce was embarrassed, this time, it was he who pulled the hind legs of the man of the Great Zhou Dynasty, "Your Highness misunderstood, Quan Ce is very boring and boring, and it is not long enough to do this, you don't have to cry, although you and I are not enough, and it is difficult to get through, having this deal is enough to make Quan Ce cherish the aftertaste, and I hope that you can be like me, remembering the short exchange, you can bring a little smile, and take this memory as a gift, it is the best"
Unexpectedly, listening to Quan Ce's words, Princess Yunxi cried even more fiercely, holding her chest with one hand, and pulling Quan Ce's sleeve with the other, heavy, sobbing and saying, "I must not be able to laugh, if I don't come to the Central Plains, how good it should be, if I don't meet you, how good it should be, I haven't cried for many years, and my heart has never hurt like this."
Princess Yunxi said it so clearly, no matter how dull Quan Ce was about this matter, it was not difficult to know her sincerity, sighed softly, and held one of her jade hands with two hands, "The tears you shed for me today will be remembered in my heart, and for the rest of my life, I will smile with you and make up for today's sins."
"Mm-hmm" Princess Yunxi nodded vigorously, stretched out her finger and pointed at her chest, slammed into his arms, and hammered twice.
Quan Ce is full of warm fragrance nephrite, but there is little joy in his heart, the forced marriage at the beginning, coupled with the difference in habits, the conflict between the family and the country, the two of them set foot together, it will be a road full of thorns.
The southern suburbs of the divine capital, the temple of the Vedic Protector.
Princess Taiping can't remember how many times she has come here to make incense, and she has been religious.
Wei Tuo, who was holding a demon pestle, seemed to be not a clay wood sculpture, she gradually felt her resonance with him, she was not the mother queen after all, she couldn't do great things, her loved ones could be killed, just the most beloved nephew, it was enough to break all her armor defenses.
There is nothing wrong with being a Dharma protector, you can also attain enlightenment, and you can also stand on the side of the Buddha intimately.
It is also a kind of happiness.
"Your Highness, tomorrow the Shendu Garden is all arranged" Xiangnu reported outside the door, his voice trembling.
"That's it, let's all withdraw" Princess Taiping changed her mind, he was already bitter enough, why bother with him again.
"Yes, Your Highness" Xiang Nu responded, raised his eyes and looked at the golden body of the great Bodhisattva enshrined in the hall, every time His Royal Highness came here, he would be in a cheerful mood, could it be that there is really boundless Buddhism?
Xiangnu was in awe.
