Chapter 351: I Miss You
Trying to find someone in Chang'an City, with a population of one million, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. But if Xue Shao wants to find Princess Taiping, it is very easy.
Wei Yuanzhong entered the palace to face the saint, told the queen of heaven the news that Xue Shao had returned to Beijing, and entrusted the palace attendant to bring Xue Shao's message to Princess Taiping.
It didn't take long for the chamberlain to reply to Wei Yuanzhong, and Princess Taiping asked Xue Shao to meet in the Yixin Hall of Furong Garden.
It was the place where Xue Shao held the roasted tail banquet, and it was also the place where he and Princess Taiping got engaged.
Xue Shao was waiting outside the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City, and after getting the news, he took a simple body of smoke and dust at home without stopping, and went straight to the Furong Garden.
After half a year, it's finally time to meet again.
Xue Shao had imagined countless scenes of reunion with Princess Taiping, whether warm or exciting, but he never imagined that he would be reunited in an atmosphere full of crises.
When he dismounted in front of the Furong Yuan Yi Palace, Xue Shao was unstable and almost fell. Only then did he realize that after months of fighting and traveling for days, the fatigue had gone deep into his bones. In addition, the military and some private affairs are all under great pressure, so that his physical and mental strength are almost about to reach a thirsty state.
Without looking in the mirror, Xue Shaozhi said that his current appearance and complexion must be very ugly, even if he does not look like a dead person, he is not much better than a displaced and malnourished begging refugee.
Looking at the dragon tail road stairs in front of him that stretched overhead, Xue Shao was a little skeptical that he had the strength to climb up.
Two eunuchs who stayed in the palace came to receive them, and after some questioning, they took Xue Shao's horse. Seeing that Xue Shao's complexion was extremely poor and his physical strength was weak, the other person carefully helped Xue Shao to walk up to Longwei Road, and then asked him to sit down.
Xue Shao sat down to rest for a long time, and enjoyed some water and food sent by the eunuchs, and finally regained some physical strength and energy.
The princess must have some pomp and toss when she travels, and Princess Taiping doesn't know when she will arrive. Xue Shao was sleepy, so he actually fell asleep on the low table in front of him.
"Hey, how tired does Xue Juma have to be?" The two eunuchs who were waiting from the side were a little unbearable, and carefully covered Xue Shao with a futon, not daring to disturb and quietly cover the door and exit.
Xue Shao slept in a dark night, almost equivalent to fainting.
It wasn't until dusk that Xue Shao, whose limbs were numb and his neck was in pain, woke up with cold breath. For a while, he didn't know whether he was dreaming or waking up, and when he looked up and opened his eyes in a daze, he vaguely saw a strange figure standing in front of him.
This figure faced Xue Shao, with her back to the direction of the light at the door, so there seemed to be a halo on her body, which seemed a little dazzling and blurry to Xue Shao. In particular, she was wearing a shawl and a large hat that reached the ground, colorful and scattered, as if it was woven with all kinds of bird feathers, and the colors were unusually colorful and gorgeous. The wind passed through the hall, and those feathers fluttered slightly, like a fairy descending on the sky!
Xue Shao was directly dazzled.
"Who?"
"Me."
A question and answer of two words, Xue Shao jumped up.
It turned out that it was not in a dream!
It turns out that she has arrived at the eye!
Xue Shao strode forward and wanted to hug her tightly into his arms, but his legs were numb and weak, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Princess Taiping exclaimed.
However, she stood still.
Xue Shao took a breath of cool air in pain, and looked up at Princess Taiping, who was standing in the backlight, her face still blurred.
Xue Shao suddenly felt that the Princess Taiping in front of him was like that...... Unfamiliar!
His heart couldn't help but sink a little. Many bad premonitions in my heart seem to have been confirmed at this moment.
So Xue Shao stood up by himself, straightened his clothes slightly, and bowed to Princess Taiping, "Weichen is rude, and I am willing to ask Her Royal Highness the princess for forgiveness!" ”
"Then you will be not guilty."
Six words, as cold as Xue Shao's heart.
Silent.
"When did you come back?"
"Just now."
After a question and an answer, the two fell into a strange silence again.
No one can understand the mood of Xue Shao and Princess Taiping at the moment. Even they don't understand it very well.
Princess Taiping walked a few steps, and the colorful feather coat seemed to dance. Finally, she went to the top couch and sat down. Walking and sitting, they are all like Wu Zetian listening to music in the imperial study.
"What do you have to say to Hongu?" Princess Taiping asked. The sound is calm, as if there is no trace of fireworks.
Xue Shao smiled slightly, shook his head gently, turned sideways slightly to show his duty as a courtier, and "didn't dare" to look at Princess Taiping.
Then he said, "There were." But now, no. ”
Princess Taiping still looked like the eight winds were not moving, "Then tell me what you once wanted to say." ”
"Is it necessary?" Xue Shao said indifferently.
"Whether it is necessary or not, Hongu does not know. But since Hongu wants to hear it, you have to say it. Princess Taiping's voice sank.
Xue Shao's whole body trembled.
The cold heart seems to have been stabbed by something again, and it hurts a little.
It hurts to the soul.
"The minister retired."
With a bow, Xue Shao turned around and left.
Princess Taiping didn't stop her and didn't say a word.
In the silent hall of pleasant heart, Xue Shao strode into the clouds. Suddenly, I heard an extremely slight "horn click" sound behind me.
Teardrops, the sound of falling on the wooden table.
Xue Shao paused, did not look back, and continued to move forward.
"Out of this door, between you and me, grace and righteousness." The voice of Princess Taiping came from behind her, crying.
Xue Shao took a deep breath and stepped out of the threshold.
In the stone flat in front of the palace stood Linlang, Yang Siqiao and more than a dozen eunuchs with arrows. At the same time, they raised the bows and arrows in their hands, set up the arrows and wound them in a neat manner, and aimed them at Xue Shao, who was standing at the door and was about to come out.
"Xue Gongzi, don't do stupid things." Yang Siqiao's tone was completely businesslike, "It's still too late to turn around now." ”
"It's better to have a severed head than an ant." Xue Shao smiled calmly, "Where your duty lies, do what you have to do!" ”
After that, Xue Shao was about to lift his back foot.
"Childe, don't!" Linlang threw a bow and arrow at the same time and fell to his knees, tears raining down, "Please, turn back!" ”
Xue Shao still smiled slightly, "If I wasn't a son or a colt, would you still kneel down and beg me?" ”
"Yes!" The sisters replied categorically and kowtowed.
Two beautiful mantis heads rattled on the stone floor.
"Ask Childe to turn back!"
Xue Shao looked up at the sky, the remnant sun was like blood, dazzling.
"If you have no head, how can you turn back!"
Just as Xue Shao's hind feet were about to be raised, Yang Siqiao and the arrow-wielding eunuch beside him suddenly flashed to the side, and a woman in costume walked out from behind the two of them.
Looking at each other, Xue Shao was completely stunned.
The woman in front of her, with red lips and white teeth and white skin like snow, is extremely luxurious and beautiful. No matter which man in the Tang Dynasty sees her, he will be moved. Such a beautiful face and natural nobility complement each other, just like the mysterious fairy floating in the heavenly court, no matter how superb the painter can copy her touching beauty on paper, no matter how talented the poet can use words to describe her peerless elegance between a smile and a smile.
Xue Shao muttered in his heart: This is still the young woman next door wearing a fiery red bell and a hu fu and dancing a hu whirling branch dance...... Chen Xian'er?
When Chen Xian'er saw Xue Shao for the first time, she was already in tears, and then knelt down on her knees, "Cheap concubine to meet the son!" ”
"You! ……”
Xue Shao, who had lived and died in his previous life and this life, felt a little brain short-circuit for a while, and he didn't know how to phrase it.
Did you say to her - weren't you slaughtered by Princess Taiping? Otherwise, how could Princess Taiping be so indifferent and mean to me?
"I'm so stupid!"
Xue Shao said these three words and turned back suddenly, only to see a feather robe dancing, Princess Taiping was waving her sleeves and wiping her tears all the way to the inner door.
This time, there was no need for anyone to persuade him, Xue Shao decisively turned around and chased after him.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
"Enron!"
shouted twice, and Princess Taiping not only didn't stop, but ran faster and faster. The previous crying finally came out crying.
Xue Shao chased after him, it was already dusk, and the light in the hall was unknown, and he kicked over several wooden tables to make a sound, although he was embarrassed all the way, he still didn't dare to stop for half a moment.
Princess Taiping dodged into the inner door and slammed the door shut. Xue Shao ran out of the door, and the door was locked.
"Enron, I'm wrong about you. Open the door and listen to me apologize to you, okay? Xue Shao patted the door and said.
No one answered.
Xue Shao used a little bit of dark force to push the door, the door wall of the royal palace was extremely strong, and it was a little difficult to rush in with violence.
"Enron, don't you want to hear what I have to say? Open the door, I'll tell you all! ”
"It's late!" An angry rebuke from Princess Taiping came from inside.
Xue Shao grinned when he heard this, and then scratched his head. After glancing around, I scolded in my heart: why is there not even a ventilation window in this vicinity, which fool designed and built it?
He had no choice but to bang on the door again, "Enron, I was wrong." Adults don't count...... No, you're a princess, I'm a courtier. The lord doesn't care about the ministers, so you can forgive me! ”
After that, Xue Shao carefully put his ear to the door and listened.
After a long time, a voice finally came from inside, "What if this palace doesn't forgive?" ”
"Then you will order me to be destroyed, right?" When Xue Shao heard the echo, he finally grasped a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly said, "I gladly accept what kind of ears and noses, hands and feet, and five horses and corpses!" ”
"Nonsense!"
The voice of this scolding was very small, and it was obviously a whisper from Princess Taiping. But Xue Shao's hearing was extraordinary, and he heard it with his ears close to the door.
Suddenly, Xue Shao's tone became like a dog's leg, and he said in a loud voice: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, who is wise and powerful, you will forgive me, a bold and ignorant minister!" You see that the weather is late and the lights are not lit in the inner room, and when it is all dark inside, aren't you afraid? ”
"What is there to be afraid of this palace!" Princess Taiping's tone was very hard.
"Are you really not afraid?" Xue Shao hurriedly said: "This Hibiscus Garden was built by Yang Jian of the former Sui Dynasty, especially this Yixin Hall has the longest history, and there have been wars for hundreds of years, and Chang'an doesn't know how many people have died in Ludao." In addition, this was once a royal palace, and I don't know how many palace maids and eunuchs have died in it. As soon as it gets dark, they're probably going to come out and hang out! ”
"You...... Don't try to scare me! Princess Taiping is still hard-mouthed, "This palace has royal blood, and the pride of the sky is blessed by the gods!" Any evil demon who sees this palace will only flee in a hurry! ”
Cattle!
Xue Shao couldn't help but be stunned, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and even his guts had become fat!
"Little bunny, open the door!"
"Open Sesame!"
Princess Taiping ignored it.
Standing in front of the door with his hands on his hips and feeling depressed for a long time, Xue Shao felt a little helpless.
"Enron, I miss you."
With a creak, the door opened.
Princess Taiping threw herself into Xue Shao's arms, hugged her tightly, and cried loudly.
