Chapter 387: Flower Sea Cloud
In the early morning of the next day, when the civil and military officials were hurrying to the various yamen of the palace to prepare to go to work, Princess Taiping's car had already driven out of the Xuanwu Gate and drove to Xue Shao's home.
In the past, anyone who wanted Princess Taiping to get up early was almost an impossible task. But today, Princess Taiping took the initiative to get up very early, dressed up by herself, and kept instructing the people to prepare quickly and go to Zhaoling to worship.
Sacrifice is more important than anything else in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty. This is the first time that Princess Taiping and Xue Shao went to worship Xue's father and mother, and the significance is still very deep.
Coupled with being able to travel with Xue Shao away from the palace, Princess Taiping was almost so excited that she didn't sleep all night.
Soon, Princess Taiping and her entourage of nearly 200 people arrived at Xue's Mansion with great fanfare.
Xue Shao had already prepared, it was nothing more than one person, one horse and one bag. Wu Ming went to Jeju, and Yuenu wanted to accompany Ai Yan at home, but he didn't even bring an entourage.
Princess Taiping's car stopped, and Xue Shao led the horse out, and was startled at first sight.
――My mother, are you going to a sacrifice or a beauty pageant?!
In addition to the hundred Yulin Army guards who opened the road before and after, Princess Taiping was also surrounded by a large number of women. In addition to Linlang, who serves Princess Taiping every day, there are also Chen Xian'er's group of stunning dancers and musician cooks. If these people are Xue Shao's "acquaintances", then the twenty-eight female envoys of the inner court brought by Shangguan Wan'er and the more than thirty young female crowns brought by Xuan Yunzi are really a bit blind.
All kinds of people and other costumes are different, with different temperaments and charms, but without exception, they are young and graceful. These dozens of women are listed around Princess Taiping according to their shifts, like a sea of brilliant and blooming flowers, which is dazzling!
There is no doubt that Princess Taiping, who is dressed up and sitting on top of Luan, is the queen of flowers who stands out from the crowd!
Even a playboy like Xue Shao, who has seen the "great world", is about to brighten his eyes, and you can imagine what kind of reaction the people of Chang'an will have.
Xue Shao looked left and right, and was not surprised to see that there were already crowds of people and traffic jams between the various alleys, and countless onlookers filled the various crossings, all of which unabashedly wrote their amazing colors on their faces.
Now, the only people who can be "calm" are probably only Yang Siqiao and the dozen or so eunuch bodyguards of the inner court led by him.
"Xue Lang, have you ever prepared?" Princess Taiping sat on top of the Luan car, and her voice was like the sound of heaven slowly descending, just like the goddess of the heavenly palace descending to the mortal world.
Xue Shaowan smiled, took the horse and hugged his fists and bowed: "Your Highness, the minister is just one person and one horse, and he has already been prepared." ”
"Give your horse to your squire." In front of the public, Princess Taiping's speech and demeanor are very Wu Zetian's demeanor, noble, dignified, faintly revealing a hint of not angry and mighty, she said: "This palace allows you to ride in the Luan car together." ”
Xue Shao blinked his eyes and was slightly stunned, this is too flamboyant, right?
"Not up yet?" Princess Taiping raised her voice slightly.
“…… Be! Xue Shao secretly smiled bitterly, handed over the Weilong BMW to the Yulin Army guards for safekeeping, and boarded the Luan chariot ridden by four snow-white royal horses.
The crowd of onlookers from near and far let out a burst of cheers and exclamations, and the discussion continued.
"That's Lantian Childe, right? A colt who is about to marry Princess Taiping? ”
"Tsk, it's a good match!"
"In this way, isn't it drowned in a sea of flowers?"
"My husband was born in the world, and it is really in vain to have such a good day!"
"Stop! If I could go up and say a word or two to any of those maids, I would be willing to live ten years less! ”
"Phew! If you dare to disturb the princess's attendants, not only will you be able to live ten years less, but you will be able to bear fruit in this life immediately! ”
“…… Let me take a look at the head office! ”
Listening to the discussions of these people with many envious eyes, Xue Shao, who had not changed his face in front of thousands of troops, felt a little embarrassed. Princess Taiping has adapted to such an environment since she was a child, she is very calm, and even has a little pride and pride.
"Xue Lang, keep close to me! Hold my hand. Princess Taiping whispered, "We are about to become husband and wife." As the husband of Princess Taiping, you have to get used to the scene in front of you! ”
Xue Shao suddenly smiled, took Princess Taiping's hand and put it on his knee, and said loudly: "The car is moving!" ”
"No—"
"The car is on the move—"
The procession of more than 200 people moved, and the onlookers retreated one after another. The front and rear iron armor guards, the horses are bright and the armor is bright, and the battle robes and banners are flying. The beauties before and after Luan's driving are like clouds and live colors, and the Linlang sisters with swords are the closest to the car, such as Aoxue Hanmei's heroic posture.
Everywhere near and far, there are eyes of envy, jealousy and worship.
For a while, Xue Shao really felt a little floating in the clouds.
Princess Taiping maintained her graceful and luxurious posture very "professionally", but the foot hidden under the skirt gently kicked Xue Shao very dishonestly, and muttered from time to time -
"Xue Lang, are you nervous? Are you sweating? ”
"Xue Lang, there are so many beauties today, which one do you like the most?"
"Xue Lang, don't be too sexy, why do you stare at other people's breasts, not even the female crown?"
"Xue Lang, how about I let the Eighteen Maiko accompany you at night?"
"Shake your head? What are you shaking your head at? …… Tsk, look at you, you're actually swallowing! ”
In front of the public, Xue Shao was not good at retorting and not moving at will, and his face trembled when Princess Taiping said it, and he really couldn't cry or laugh. At this time, Xue Shao no longer felt like falling into the clouds, it felt like a person was tied up all over his body, and his face was covered with a thick layer of paste, and it was difficult to even make an expression.
"Little, call you a prank, wait!"
In this way, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping swaggered through the city and left Chang'an City.
Xue Shao's head was full of cold sweat and never stopped, not that he was nervous or even less afraid, but that he was "embarrassed" in a cold sweat, Princess Taiping never stopped pranks along the way, she even stopped the frame on Suzaku Street to welcome the onlookers of the people, took Xue Shao's hand and stood up to salute the crowd in return.
High-profile show of affection, this is definitely Princess Taiping's hobby and specialty, but it embarrassed Xue Shao.
After leaving Chang'an, Xue Shao took a long breath, and at the same time thought of a question in his heart: Why am I so embarrassed? Don't I want to marry Princess Taiping? I still haven't accepted the role of a colt?
Neither.
Xue Shao told himself in his heart that the reason why he felt embarrassed was that the envy and honors he had received now were not created by himself. relied on the special identity of Princess Taiping to pick it up for nothing.
In other words, it doesn't feel good to eat soft rice. Although Princess Taiping was willing, Xue Shao preferred to rely on his own skills to obtain the dignity and glory of a man. For example, when he accepted the cheers of the soldiers and civilians after the triumph in the army, Xue Shao felt very proud and at ease. With such a swaggering show of affection in the market today, Xue Shao felt more like a rare bird and beast that was watched by others, or a male vase eating soft rice.
The car drove out of Chang'an to Zhaoling, and the road was finally no longer so noisy and crowded.
"Enron, I'm a little tired from sitting for a long time, go ride a horse for a while." Xue Shao said.
"Okay!" Princess Taiping agreed, but she didn't let go of her hand and pulled him, and said, "Xue Lang, are you a little unhappy?" ”
"Nope."
"Don't lie to me, you have something on your mind." Princess Taiping whispered, "Can you tell me?" ”
"......" Xue Shao hesitated for a moment and said, "Enron, I still want to return to the military." ”
"It's hard to have a happy time, how do you say such frustrating words?" Princess Taiping's little mouth pursed suddenly.
Frustrating words?
Xue Shao was speechless, "Okay, I'll just talk about it." Can I go horseback riding? ”
"Then you can go......" Princess Taiping was reluctant and looked disgusted.
Xue Shao smiled bitterly and patted Princess Taiping's hand, "No matter what, I've been having fun these days, and I'm not thinking about anything else." ”
"That's what you said!" Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows and glared at the same thing, and said seriously, "Don't let me see that you are preoccupied or say something that is uninteresting." ”
"Okay!" Xue Shao took a long breath and agreed very simply, when it was time to relax, relax well, regardless of those troubles!
"Then you take me on a horseback ride!!"
"......" Xue Shao was speechless, "What about the car?" ”
"Let them chase after them slowly!" As soon as Princess Taiping's playfulness came up, she was already elated and carried away, "I don't care, I want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse!" ”
A group of people around him collectively broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and their expressions were embarrassed.
Xue Shao smiled evilly, who was constantly teasing me just now? Horseback riding, right?
Okay, I'll accompany you to be ruthless and presumptuous!
The car paused, and every time Xue Shao and Princess Taiping got on the Weilong Treasure Horse, they let out a long hiss and galloped away. Linlang and the entire team of Lin Yujun guards hurriedly followed and chased, and the rest of the people escorted the car to the same way.
A Northern Expedition soaked on horseback all day long, and Xue Shao practiced extraordinary riding skills. Coupled with the world's rare dragon horse, he quickly left the others far behind. Xue Shao deliberately turned and deviated from the original route, zigzags into a forest.
Although Princess Taiping had also ridden a horse, at most she was limited to a leisurely walk in the palace, or Xue Shao took him to run a smooth straight road. She really hadn't experienced such a wild run like today, especially when she was rushing left and right in the woods, there was a faint danger, which scared Princess Taiping to lose her face and scream, completely losing the grace and luxury that she had when she sat on top of Luan.
Walking through the woods, Xue Shao completely got rid of Linlang and the others. In front of me, there is a small lake overgrown with wild grass.
"Arrived, come down!" Xue Shao snorted softly, and jumped directly from the saddle with Princess Taiping in his arms.
Although it was smooth and steady, Princess Taiping seemed to have ridden a roller coaster for the first time in her life, and she was so frightened that she tensed and screamed.
Xue Shao laughed.
Princess Taiping was annoyed and angry, and raised her pink fist at Xue Shao, scolding "bad guys, bad guys" in her mouth.
Xue Shaowei laughed, knocked Princess Taiping down, and the two of them turned over and lay in the thick weeds at the same time.
"Y-What do you want to do?" After repeated stimulation, Princess Taiping was a little stunned.
Xue Shao gently hooked Princess Taiping's chin with his index finger and grinned, "Bad guy, what else can you do?" ”
