Chapter 88: The Princess Kneels to Save Her Husband (1)
Yangzhou, Song Mansion.
Wearing a green onion and white placket peony pattern robe, the waist is also plain white peony pattern silk skirt, Zhao Yuanzhen, who is wearing a snow-white bandeau inside, combing a cloud bun, a golden hairpin with a gold step, a gold hairpin with an openwork flower, two small Yingluo, and a flashing jade pendant under the ear, like a fairy, coming and going......
Zhao Yuanzhen walked through the corridor, walked from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, shouted "Xiaoman" twice, but no one answered, but at the door, she saw the ghost sword, she was holding a letter in her hand, and walked into the door.
"Whose letter is it?" Zhao Yuanzhen was a little excited, grabbed two steps, and the ghost sword gave her the letter.
As soon as she saw the words "Zhen'er personally opened", through the handwriting, she naturally recognized that it was her husband's handwritten letter, and she excitedly opened the envelope and pulled out the letterhead.
Zhao Yuanzhen began to read the letter, at first she pursed her lips and smiled while reading it, but then the more she looked at it, the more she frowned, and when she saw the end, she was already frowning......
"How can the husband do such a thing......
She raised her beautiful face, looked up at the sky, sighed for a long time, and could not say a word.
The ghost sword next to him frowned and asked, "Is he really having an affair with another woman?"
"No, the prime minister wants to meet his father, intercede for me, and return my title."
As soon as Zhao Yuanzhen spoke, the ghost sword had already drawn his sword, and he cut down a fruit tree next to him with an angry face, and snorted angrily: "What a fool!"
Zhao Yuanzhen bit her lip, raised her head and asked, "What is the matter now?" I'm worried that he will anger my father......"
Before she finished speaking, a white horse galloped to the door outside the door, and the white horse neighed loudly, and the person on the horse jumped off the horse and walked straight into the Song Mansion......
Looking at the visitor, Zhao Yuanzhen and Youjian were a little surprised, although this person was wearing a man's clothes, deerskin boots, and a black cape, but that foxy face could not hide the fact that she was a woman.
Zhao Yuanzhen just looked at her, still holding Song Ting's letter in her hand, and there was a little doubt in her eyes.
Li Ji looked at Zhao Yuan twice, and couldn't help sighing, "Sure enough, it is the beauty of the country, the country and the city, I thought I was beautiful, but I didn't expect to lose to this ninth princess in the end." No wonder he doesn't like to see me like this......"
Thinking of this, he didn't have a good face, took two steps forward, and said: "Your father-in-law was locked up by the emperor and ...... in Dali Temple."
After saying these two sentences, she paused slightly, then felt that there was no need to say any more, turned around and went out, got on the horse and left.
Listening to her words, Zhao Yuanzhen and Youjian were really like being struck by two thunderbolts, stunned in place, and didn't move.
"Xianggong ......" Zhao Yuanzhen called faintly, her body was shaky, and the ghost sword hurriedly supported her.
The snow goose happened to pass by with firewood in her arms, and when she saw that Zhao Yuanzhen was about to faint suddenly, she hurriedly threw away the firewood and came over to help support her, Zhao Yuanzhen was a little sober at this time, and shook her head: "I'm fine."
Youjian said to Xue Yan: "Quickly pack up your things, we will rush to the capital immediately!"
Xue Yan asked puzzledly, "What are you doing in the capital?"
"Don't ask so much, what about Xiaoman and Qingzhu?"
"I'm going to West Street to buy rice."
"How long did you go and when did you come back?"
"I'm expected to be back soon."
After listening to Xue Yan's answer, Youjian urged: "Go and call them back, don't buy rice, we will enter Beijing immediately!"
"Hmm!"
…
Dali Temple, in a hut.
Song Ting, who has been locked up for seven days, is already a little impatient, mainly because he is depressed and panicked, no one speaks, no one chats, Song Jiang has come twice, and Lu Junyi has not come yet.
He had already told Song Jiang that he wanted to bring Lu Junyi, and Song Jiang said that the imperial court had decided to divide the Liangshan soldiers and horses into five branches and transfer them to Hebei, Shandong and other large camps, which was still Tong Guan's idea to the emperor.
"All the work has been done......" he clenched his fists and sighed. According to the plan, he wanted to hold this army and go to conquer the Liao State, but who knew that he would lose everything because of the matter of "restoring the title for Zhen'er".
It's true that plans never catch up with change.
Think about it, how can Tong Guan and Cai Jing let themselves be in charge of the military and form a confrontation with them?
What are these powerful ministers in concert with to suppress dissidents? Isn't it to keep their own position? Who will really think about the big beams and the people?
These traitors are really misleading the country and harming the people!
He remembered the prince's smile and the fact that he stood up and pleaded for him...... Now it seems that the only hope is pinned on the prince......
"Master." With a soft call, a charming face appeared in front of the small iron window.
Song Ting approached the small iron window, stared at Li Ji, and asked eagerly, "Has the news arrived?"
Li Ji smiled, and a pair of overflowing eyes winked at him, "The master's lady is really beautiful......"
muttered again, "No wonder I'm not interested in the slave family......"
Song Ting was speechless and glanced at her, "Don't talk nonsense, since the news has been brought, why don't you bring her to see me?" ”
Li Ji glanced at him, and said delicately: "Hmph, you are a slave, the slave family is unhappy......
"Your sister......" Song Ting was very speechless, sighed, and had to soften his voice a little, "Since you brought the news to my mother, you should bring her to see me......"
Li Ji snorted and said slowly: "She is kneeling outside the palace gate now, really, you two are as stupid...... No wonder they can be husband and wife. ”
"What did you say?" Song Ting's eyes widened, he stretched out a hand, grabbed her shoulder, and shouted loudly.
The guard's card army immediately rushed over, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Ji immediately smiled at the card army, "Official, it's okay, my husband is hungry." ”
The brand army heard the sound and walked away, who is not hungry? They haven't eaten in a long time......
Song Ting didn't care about the three words "I am a father-in-law" she said, just stared at her with burning eyes, and asked with an extremely serious face: "What did you just say?" My lady is kneeling outside the palace gate? ”
Li Ji smiled charmingly, and said with a smile: "It's been a day of kneeling, since the sun didn't come out early in the morning, I have been kneeling until now, tsk, the sun is about to go down, it's really not easy...... These nine princesses are really in love with their masters......"
"You!" Listening to her gloating tone, Song Ting's eyes were split, and he pointed his hand, eager to swallow the woman in front of him alive.
"Really angry? The slave family didn't mean it...... Really, why make such a big fuss...... The slave family will come to see you next time. Li Ji walked away with a little jealousy.
"Don't come again! Lao Tzu is angry now! Song Ting smashed his fist on the iron window and forked the tunnel.
The guard's card army took a look, and only thought it was a husband and wife quarreling, and he didn't even bother to ask.
Bombed away Li Ji, Song Ting fell to the ground weakly, and couldn't help but hug his knees and cry, there was no sound, only his shoulders were shaking......
…
A touch of the slanting sun sprinkled on the castle tower.
In front of the palace building, a woman in white knelt on the ground, her forehead oozing with fine and dense sweat.
But she still knelt straight all day.
Many passers-by who walked in front of the palace couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh when they heard that this was the ninth princess kneeling to save her husband......
Little by little, time passed.
At night, she was still kneeling straight, motionless, as if she was proud of the snow and lonely and cold.
"It's useless for you to kneel!" A woman with a sword in her hand was so angry that she walked around her, constantly driving away others and fighting at those who dared to come within three feet.
"Princess, get up and eat something...... a pretty girl with a double bun came to her with a plate of fruit and food, and said cautiously.
She just shook her head and didn't say a word.
Around the palace gates, red lanterns are hung high.
In a few days, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the atmosphere of reunion gradually spreads, and the streets outside Miyagi form a night market, and there are many pedestrians at night.
Ignoring the noise on the street, she still knelt straight, with no tears in her eyes, only a trace of stubbornness.
Gradually, the crowd dispersed and the market became sparsely populated.
She still knelt straight and long, like a plum blossom standing proudly in the wind and snow......
