Chapter Forty-Eight: The Xia Brothers and Sisters
In the first year of Longyu, the heat was very dramatic, there was no rain in March, and in August, there were dry and frosty locusts, and there was no grass and trees.
First there was a drought and then a locust plague, Xuanyuan had a headache for this. However, this seems to be only a small test given by Heaven to this new emperor. When he ordered the allocation of money and grain from the treasury of the palace, and specially sent reliable people to distribute disaster relief, the news came from the Han State that the new emperor succeeded to the throne and that the "Han Princess" was determined to mourn the first emperor for three years in the Han Kingdom.
And it didn't take long for the Liang State to see it for a long time, and sent envoys to ask for a marriage and continue the good of the generations. Even if Xuanyuan Jue made it clear that he still needed to mourn for three years, and put the big wedding on hold for the time being, but the king of Liang seemed to have expected him to refrain like this, and directly sent the envoy and the princess together, saying that the princess was still young, and it was not impossible to wait for three years.
Therefore, the head of Yecheng, which is adjacent to King Kang's Mansion, has an additional Princess Changle Mansion in two or three months.
This Changle Princess's Mansion is built extremely luxuriously, lilac plastering the wall, walnut oil tiles, the glazed eaves at the gate are decorated with pure gold palace bells, every time there is a breeze and drizzle, or a doorman visits, almost a street nearby can hear the sound of this falling.
As for what the scene in the mansion is, there is no need to mention it, in short, there is this Changle Princess Mansion, which is like a cloud immortal mansion, on the side, and it faintly seems that the neighbor on the side, King Kang's Mansion, is slightly inferior.
If there was just a difference in the mansion, Xuanyuan Qi would not hate her very much at the first time he saw Princess Changle. But on the contrary, this princess Changle has grown up in the palace room of Liang Guo since she was a child, and she is used to being pampered.
"Yo, look at it, I still think that this Xuanguo is vast and rich, and the realm of this princess's mansion is not as big as the side hall where I live with my imperial uncle, I can't imagine that this is the hospitality of Xuanguo, tsk ......"
Surrounded by a group of attendants, Princess Changle took advantage of the palace and the envoys of the Liang Kingdom to come to her new home.
"The princess came all the way from Liang Kingdom, and I don't know that my Xuanguo Yecheng was dry and frosty locusts before, and the emperor and I, as royal families, are plain clothes and throttling. This princess's mansion is still afraid of wronging Princess Changle, so according to the rules of the palace, I invited the skilled craftsmen of Yecheng to build it! ”
Xuanyuan Qi pursed her lips, and squinted her eyes indignantly to look at the princess Changle, who was only one year older than her, and the envoy of the Liang State who was the same age as Xuanyuan Qi, sure enough, they were worthy of being brothers and sisters, they were all born with a bitter and mean appearance, and she felt disgusted at the first sight when she saw these two!
"Yo, I didn't expect that Xuanguo was exactly the year of famine, I said, why is it that the capital of this country, Yecheng, is actually depressed, I'm afraid that everyone is dead? As for this princess's mansion, according to the rules of the palace, it should be, my sister Changle is the one who Xuanguo wants to marry your royal brother, that is, the queen of Xuanguo's future mother, this kind of mansion has wronged her, pitiful......"
The envoy of the Liang State was ashamed, and said arrogantly, with a pair of hanging eyes, he turned over, stared at Princess Changle, and wrapped his hand around Princess Changle's waist, but soon realized that this was not suitable, and quickly let go, and came with a condescending attitude, staring at Xuanyuan Qi.
Although Xuanyuan Qi is a well-known "Bahu Prince" in Yecheng, it is nothing more than the nickname given to her by the children of the family who have been taught by her, she knows the forbearance and demeanor that she should have, and it is precisely because of this that she can't openly break up with Princess Changle and others.
"Tut-tut, in the end, His Royal Highness King Kang who wants to have a marriage contract with the princess of the Han Kingdom, this His Royal Highness King Kang is simple and unpretentious, and he is really the same as the Han Kingdom......
The envoy of the Liang State saw that Xuanyuan Qi didn't say a word, but raised his head slightly and glared at him fiercely with those smart eyes, and he was even more carried away and ridiculed, which was even more than Princess Changle.
"Although the Han Kingdom is small, it is a heavy number of gifts, and Sister Scarlet is the best in the Han Kingdom, and she is the sister of the king of the Han Kingdom. Unlike your country, you have no sincerity, you only found a royal daughter of the clan at random, and gave her the name of 'Changle', so you delusionally thought about the phoenix position of the queen of Xuanguo, is it possible...... Poofha, those princesses of Liang Kingdom are still not as good as her?! Rat eyes and long tongue, pointed head and convex back, it is really a country and a city, I am afraid that I can't find such a woman in my Xuan Kingdom, who wants to marry her as a wife, I am afraid that it is not the one who gets it and the one who is happy, but to face each other day and night, and wash his face with tears! ”
Liang Guo came to envoy, and he was quick to speak for a while, and unfortunately he had to comment on the public ceremony that had returned to the Han Kingdom, which moved Xuanyuan Qi's reverse scales. Yes, regardless of what kind of friendship and marriage, insulting the name of the king, Xuanyuan Qi replied when he arrived, and only picked the best ones for the quarrels he heard in the streets and alleys on weekdays, and they all used them in front of him.
Even though this Princess Changle is not as unattractive as Xuanyuan Qi said, she has been pampered since she was a child and grew up in the Liang Palace, where has she received such an insult, she naturally immediately turned red, and muttered that she wanted to return to Liang Kingdom.
The envoys of the Liang State saw that the delicate child he held in the palm of his hand on weekdays was scolded and cried by Xuanyuan Qi, and he also lost face, and he was angry for a while, relying on his much taller height than Xuanyuan Qi, and pulled up Xuanyuan Qi's clothes.
"It is said that King Kang of Xuanguo is the most arrogant and domineering, in the end, he didn't have his own father and brother to discipline him strictly, but he learned a mouth full of bastard words, I can't imagine that the royal family of Xuanguo is so presumptuous and rude!"
The fist raised high fell fiercely and hit Xuanyuan Qi's shoulder, and suddenly suffered from this, Xuanyuan Qi didn't cry out in pain, nor did he bow his head to admit his mistake and give in, he firmly grasped Liang Envoy's hand with both hands, and stepped on Liang Envoy's foot fiercely.
Liang made a pain for a while, and his hand relaxed. Xuanyuan took advantage of the opportunity to unceremoniously return him with a punch, but her fist hit Liang Envoy's eye.
You come and go, don't let each other go, and the two soon scuffle together. The fists and feet were so unleashed that the attendants around them and the palace people avoided them from afar. The two fought fiercely, but no one dared to step forward.
"You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, see if this king doesn't beat you into a pig's head today!"
Although Xuanyuan Qi is old, she is no taller than Liang Envoy, but who is she? She is a good apprentice taught by Yu Qinglin, and she was born with greater strength than ordinary people, so how could Liang Envoy, who had just learned some fancy fists, get a bargain from her?
After a while, Liang Envoy gradually got the upper hand, Xuanyuan Qi wanted to press him to the ground and slap him a few times, but because of his identity, she knew that she had stabbed the basket today, and she kicked Liang Envoy in the back hatefully, kicking him back next to Princess Changle.
It was also at this moment that Gonggong Dan came belatedly, as if he didn't know what was happening, squinting at the two knife-like slits under his eyebrows, and looked at both sides, all of which were covered in muddy water. Partial, he also dragged on and asked knowingly in a sharp voice, "Yo?!" What's wrong with His Royal Highness King Kang and Liang Envoy? ”
No one responded, and the embarrassment was tight.
"It's not like that, when Fang Cai Liang heard that King Kang was good at martial arts, he proposed to learn from each other, so that we could open our eyes!"
The hearty sound came from the gate of the princess's mansion, and when Gonggong Dan looked up, the white figure of Fang Yue fell from the sky in a dashing manner and appeared in front of everyone.
Yu Qinglin closed the fan in his hand happily and stabbed Liu Shi, who was also beside him and "didn't know".
"Annoying Lao Dan's father-in-law is worried, Liang Envoy just said that he wants to be a good student to ask for advice, and Princess Changle is also extremely in favor, using both fists and feet, and martial arts, which is really breathtaking."
Coldly, he was poked in the spine by a fan, Liu Shi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he walked out respectfully and saluted the grizzled Liang Envoy and the Dan Gonggong who couldn't help but sneer.
"His Royal Highness King Kang is very skilled, I Xia Zhengde admires it very much, and I will definitely come to ask for advice again in the future. Wan'er, let's go into the house! ”
Although it was not done on the spot, but in the end it was such a big disturbance on the street, and afterwards, Xuanyuan Xuan took advantage of the reason that he was not good at schoolwork, and punished Xuanyuan Qi to Lingfeng Temple, and meditated until the New Year.
So, as a companion, Liu Shi naturally wanted to follow. He and Xuanyuan Qi lived in the meditation monastery in the back mountain, except for listening to the teachings of the fat-headed and big-eared host for one hour every day, the rest of the time, everything belonged to himself, and Xuanyuan Qi was also happy.
From childhood to adulthood, Xuanyuan Qi has not been to Lingfeng Temple a few times, and the number of times can be counted on ten fingers. The entire Lingfeng Temple, waiting for her to visit anytime and anywhere, but it was the first time.
One day, when Xu He and Xie Jin came to visit Liu, Xuanyuan Qi felt bored, so he simply sneaked out of the meditation room again. Although this entire meditation meditation monastery is not as big as King Kang's mansion, she hasn't finished it yet!
Uncontrollable hand, uncontrollable curiosity, the ghost made a miracle, Xuanyuan turned left and right, and actually let her touch the dungeon that Lingfeng Temple has always been secret.
No outsider would have expected that under the most inconspicuous Buddha statue in the corner of the temple, there would be a cave and a hidden mystery.
"Hmm...... The appearance of this Buddha statue is so familiar, but it is a bit like a pure life master...... Well? What is this......"
Xuanyuan didn't expect that she just climbed up to the Buddha statue with curiosity for a while, and a finger that accidentally bent the Buddha statue and twisted the flower, she almost fell from the hole that suddenly appeared on the Buddha's lap.
The cave was pitch black, but there seemed to be a faint light in the distance. Xuanyuan Qi carefully hooked the Buddha's hand with his feet, and then leaned most of his body down.
He thought that King Kang had the air of the emperor, but he never expected that the emperor's spirit was owned by this little girl, and it was reflected on him! Hahahaha! ”
There was no time to dodge and come back to her senses, a shadow-like person without a face suddenly appeared in front of Xuanyuan Qi, close to the tip of her nose, as if he was "watching" her!
No matter how bold Rao is, Xuanyuan Qi was suddenly so frightened that his heart skipped a sound, and the whole person hurriedly propped up his arms and withdrew from the hole, panicking, his feet were unstable, and the whole person fell from the Buddha's knees, and his head hit the corner of the incense case.
Before falling into a coma, in the last moment of darkness, Xuanyuan Qi saw the three white cranes again.
Crane feathers flying, inexplicably, she felt very relieved.
