115. The new queen
115. The new queen
Here I have to mention a sentence about the road that Hu Lie has to take, starting from the imperial capital, passing through the five prefectures of Yan, Daze, Lincang, Han and Mi, passing through the three passes of Ping, Linlao and Guyuan, and finally going out of the town. Zhenyuan Pass belongs to the last pass of "Yanyang Six Pass", it is the only way to go north, out of Zhenyuan Pass, it will enter the barren ancient desert, what is the barren barren, when the great wilderness, the wind and sand are bare stones, extremely bad, except for the sand bandits, there is no good person to haunt. Hu Lie's journey is not short, these days, the greeting team has been non-stop all the way to the north, wading through mountains and rivers, and has left Yanzhou in just a few days and went straight to Daze.
Although Suo Huan didn't know about horses, he was also surprised by the foot strength of the grassland horses, and if he continued like this, Feng Qiwu asked to stop on the side of Wulan Mountain far away from the town on the twenty-fourth day of May, which could not be done. Suo Huan meditated hard, relying on Xiyou's hard work, all day long, to stop drinking medicine, to stop and relieve his hands, to stop to rest, and even to stop to look at the scenery, Ha Gang directly smacked him: "I want to kill you!" The horse's reins shook and the body shook.
On this day, the sun was in the west, and the men and horses of Hu Lie drove all day, and the people were already hungry and lacking. Although Tianye issued a document that those who dared to mess with their relatives would be punished for rebellion, Xiyou still sent people to explore the terrain in line with the cautious habit of leading troops, and found no danger, so he waved his hand and instructed the men and horses to stop along the river valley.
With a wide view of the mountains and rivers in the background, it is a good place to rest.
The greeting team is clearly layered, the front is led by the main and deputy envoys, followed by the princess wearing gold and hanging colors, three warriors are inserted in the front and back and left and right to protect, and then the escort and the box, escorted by ordinary samurai, and finally Suo Huan's car, which falls heavily behind, quite cumbersome.
The warriors are all men on the battlefield, capable and tacit, hard-working, no need to argue and prevaricate, just one look will spread out, and each will gather together, and it will not take a moment to cook a simple meal.
In Fengyu, Yu Hua unveiled the hijab, Xin'er led the palace maids to serve the pastries and meat that had already been prepared, the pastries were made of lard and condensed milk, the fragrance was smooth, easy to preserve, the meat was strong and elastic, mellow and flavorful, Yu Hua tasted a few bites and didn't want it, she sat in the car all day without moving, and there was indeed no hunger. Lifting the curtain, I saw the big river surging under dusk, the green smoke on the river beach, a group of men sitting around the soup kettle, talking and laughing loudly in an incomprehensible language, Twilight Hua was curious, jumped out of the carriage and stopped to watch, the warriors were snoring and eating, and suddenly saw that the gorgeous and beautiful Princess Tianye was looking at it from a distance, and suddenly felt cramped.
Huohuer River drinking horses, smelling that there is something wrong here, hurriedly dropped the reins and hurried, just as Yuhua took off the hijab, and the hanging beads of the phoenix crown could not stop the delicate beauty. Huo Huoer was greatly surprised, and put one hand on his chest before saluting: "What is the queen?" ”
"Nothing."
"There is nothing to ask the queen to reply, if there is something to order, there is no need to be there in person."
"I've been in the car for several days, and my bones are about to fall apart, so come down and take a walk, okay?"
"The queen is hard, but the queen is newly married, and it is not appropriate to show her face before seeing my queen."
Yu Hua smiled heartily: "The deputy envoy Prairie Man is actually stubborn." The palace is far away from marrying Hu Lie, since you have to be familiar with the ceremony of Hu Lie, the bride is covered with a veil, it is the custom of the old country, why should this palace keep it? ”
Huo Huoer was even more surprised, and bowed his hand and asked, "The queen is at her own convenience." After saying that, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Hua.
"It's hard to travel, how can you eat these coarse things? You take out a few boxes of dried meat from the back of the palace car and distribute them to the warriors to eat, and you can go early tomorrow. ”
"This ......" Huo Huoer hesitated, his heart full of surprise. Historically, the princess of the Central Plains has regarded Dongyi, Xihu, Nanban, and Beirong as barren and miserable places, and even despised them, and would rather marry their own civilians than marry foreign clansmen. Now, not to mention that there is no war to urge, just looking at the performance of this princess, it doesn't look like she was forced, is it...... She was really willing to marry the old Khan???
"Why is the deputy envoy sluggish, is it because the orders of the palace are not clear enough?"
"Definitely." Huo Huoer said: "The queen's noble body is important, and we are rough and reckless, and we are not worthy of the queen's treasures." ”
Yu Hua sneered: "The deputy envoy is also grinding and grinding, could it be that he thinks that the things in this palace are ugly?" Or do you suspect that the things in this palace are poisonous? The first edict of the palace and the deputy envoy shirked it like this, who else could be summoned to the palace in the future? ”
Huo Huoer's heart shook after hearing this, and he bowed awe-inspiringly and said: "The queen's reward, why should you be deserved?" Then he shouted at the confused samurai, "Don't thank you yet!" ”
"No need, go to the Hulie Dynasty to see the Khan, the palace is safe and sound, everyone will naturally have more generous rewards, and it will not be too late to thank them together."
A little woman, inviting people to buy people's hearts. Xiyu Dumin watched from afar, laughing and feeling sincerely gratified, after all, a princess who is brave enough to marry is much more comfortable than a crying princess.
Twilight Hua went to the river alone, took off the heavy phoenix crown, and watched the horses drinking in the shallows while playing his hands, the horses' shiny manes were stained with water, and they were extremely dazzling in the dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun fainted into the haze of her young face, and the warriors had no intention of eating, and the delicious cured meat was placed in their mouths, as if they were chewing curtain, and it seemed that there was more of a taste than before......
"The queen seems to be melancholy, but she is nostalgic for her homeland?" Siyu went up and bowed his hand to the young new queen.
"General Xiyou," Yu Hua nodded slightly, looked into the distance dimly, and said, "This palace is thinking about the Prime Minister's instructions." ”
Xiyou gave a meaningful silent smile to this appetizing answer: "Exhausted talents and far-sighted, Tianye is fighting against the foreign lord and not the lord, the queen must have something to tell the queen this time." ”
"The general is bad." Yu Hua said with a smile: "The Prime Minister's instructions have nothing to do with state affairs, please rest assured General." What's more, the heart of the palace, Anbang Jingguo should be shouldered by men, delicate women, needle chisel female red, loom mulberry linen. The prime minister's instructions are to warn the palace to restrain its brutality and raise an open instrument that belongs to the princess of a big country. He said that the northerners were violent and straightforward, and if the palace was still so arrogant when he was a daughter at home, he was afraid that your state would not tolerate it; Too arrogant, too humble, and not tolerated, this control of proportion, must be their own good discretion - ashamed, the palace used to be a fool, I don't know what to give up, and finally forced too much and delayed his body, the general may not believe it, the palace is still looking forward to marrying into Hu Lie: Tianye pays attention to etiquette, but the palace is polluted, and it is inevitable that it will become a laughing stock for eternity if it is forced to stay here. Therefore, the meaning of nostalgia for the homeland, this palace has no way to start. ”
Xiyou and his entourage have been in Tianye for several months, and they have heard from the idle people in the market that the county lord is chasing after the prime minister, and his words are vulgar, obviously looking down on this noble girl who chases the man and shows her face.
"The queen is a noble daughter of the heavenly family, but now she has been reduced to just seeking a destination, which is really embarrassing. If our women are humiliated in this way, they will definitely take out the culprit and dig out their hearts and lungs, and the queen is also a woman, but she bids farewell with an affectionate song, which is indeed the 'open instrument' of the princess of a big country. ”
Yu Hua frowned deeply, and said to Xi You: "Now that this palace has nothing, young and beautiful but wants to marry an old widower, of course I have hatred in my heart, but the root cause is because this palace is too persistent, and there is nothing to do with others - how can the general attribute the mistake to others?" "He made no secret of his feelings for protection.
One or two, all like that! Where is Feng Qiwu good! Xiyou was very unwilling and went to Suo Huan to discuss this issue. As soon as he left, Xin'er came over with a big red robe depicting dragons and embroidered phoenixes: "The sun has set, and it is still very cold in the early summer evening, so the princess will put it on." Yu Hua waved his hand: "The cool breeze is blowing, just to clear my thoughts, looking back at the past at this night, this palace only understands the true meaning of 'the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders'." ”
What was the princess thinking? is about to marry the old man of Beirong, is she still so calm? Xin'er is very scared - she is not willing to be the concubine of the old man of Beirong, but she is a personal big girl who has grown up with the county lord since she was a child, how dare she not "protect the lord faithfully" and go to the outside of the Saiwai together? Those Beirong men are really annoying, why do they have to go to Tianye to ask for marriage?
"Princess, the bearded man just now took someone to the back of our car to carry things, so finely cured ham meat, they swallowed it in a few clicks, and the delicacies filled the dirty belly, it was really tyrannical! What are we going to eat in the future? She didn't dare to resent the county lord who took her away as a matter of course, and she didn't dare to resent the emperor who promised the county lord to Hu Lie, so she could only anger the group of Hu Lie's envoys who begged for marriage.
But she couldn't listen to complaints, and she was counting on them to accept her before she reached Hu Lie. He lowered his face and said: "We will eat whatever they eat, this palace is not afraid of you, a maid is afraid first?" Remember, don't say such things in the future, those people are admired warriors of Hu Lie, if you can win their respect, it will be easy for this palace to integrate into Hu Lie. You go ahead and leave Hongu alone for a while. ”
Xin'er obediently stepped back, her lowered eyes hiding the deep loss.
