Chapter 407: Dismounting
It was nearly noon, looking north to see the willow pavilion, and the pavilion was waiting for a long time.
Li Shi turned his horse's head and walked back a few steps to the front of the princess's car, and said: "The front is Shili Pavilion, the Taishou of Lingwu County and the county commanders of the six counties under its jurisdiction, and the heads of the ten surnamed families are already waiting outside the long pavilion!" ”
The crown princess in the car let out a "hmm", and her voice was lazy and unawake.
Li Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "The crown princess should wake up, there may be something that needs you to speak." ”
The girl inside seemed to yawn, and said in a sleepy voice: "I know, don't worry......"
Someone on the side sneered and said, "There are so many men here, and a little woman needs to come forward, where is the face of the big husband?" ”
Li Shi glanced at him.
The amnesiac man who picked it up had already changed into a brocade saber and rode on a tall horse, with a lofty posture and eyes wide-
I have to say that it is quite majestic to open the way.
Li Shi is not a person who likes to speak quickly, and he doesn't care about him, but nods at him and says, "Since you are in this position, if someone is rude to the crown princess-"
"Zheng-" The sword came out of its sheath for three points.
"No one has ever dared to be rude to the woman behind me!" The man said arrogantly.
"Never?" The curtain of the car opened a corner, revealing half of the crown princess's face, "Do you remember?" ”
The man frowned and thought about it, but he still looked arrogant: "Although I didn't think about it, it must be so!" ”
Chi Tang was a little disappointed, glanced at him, and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, okay?" ”
The man changed color: "Okay! Why not? There's nothing in this world that I can't do! ”
Faced with such a strong self-esteem, Chi Tang silently lowered the curtain.
Letting this man act as a guard was a little consideration for her.
Li Shi said that the local gentry of Lingwu may not be very friendly, although she neither minds nor is afraid, but it is naturally better to suppress it.
If the person she rescued casually was really the number one person in Lingwu County, it would also make them a little jealous if they were recognized by the local gentry later.
Even if he is not recognized, such a personal escort car is quite imposing.
It's a pity not to use such excellent strength and arrogance against the enemy.
The team arrived outside the Ten Mile Pavilion and stopped.
Then there was a burst of polite words back and forth, Chi Tang leaned against the wall of the car, holding the book, and listened without a word.
"The ministers have prepared a thin banquet to catch the wind for the crown princess, and they also invite the princess to appreciate her face." After the pleasantries, Wei Le made an invitation.
This invitation was also expected, and Qi Lan declined according to the plan: "The princess is tired from the journey, and the invitation to the banquet will be mentioned later." ”
Wei Le sighed: "The ministers and your colleagues, the head of the family with the ten surnames are waiting for the princess in Shili Pavilion before dawn, and there are a few elders who are old and frail, but they still come from other counties to meet them-" Shaking his head and sighing, "We are all vulgar people, we are not qualified to see the princess in person, and we dare not complain, but the real estate of Lingwu County is meager, and we have done everything to serve the nobles, and I hope that the princess will not give up!" ”
Say goodbye.
Before bowing, I suddenly heard a "Zheng" sound, and then a cold feeling on the top of my head-
Wei Le hurriedly raised his hand to touch it, but his head was empty, and when he looked back, most of his hat was cut off and fell to the ground.
Everyone in the same industry does not change color.
The culprit slowly pulled the long sword into a sword flower, pointed at Wei Le, and sneered: "Since you know that you are rude, where did you have the face to invite the crown princess to the banquet?" Do you see other people's daughters also pulling carriages and asking each other to appreciate their faces? Concubine of the East Palace, you can see it if you want, and please invite it if you want? ”
Wei Le choked for a long time and shouted angrily: "Who are you! ”
When Chi Tang heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
The big people of Lingwu County are almost all here today, and no one even recognizes this amnesiac man, isn't he local?
Chi Tang didn't care much about what was going on outside.
Even if there was no man to make a move, Li Shi would not let her be forced to go to the banquet.
This group of people just wanted to squeeze her and give her a dismount, and they didn't dare to really do it.
But she dared.
She just came here to live temporarily, and she didn't need to deal with people, so it didn't matter if she offended people.
If you give in and go to the banquet, you will really lose the face of your father and His Royal Highness the Prince.
But that man is really strong, since he opened his eyes, he has never fallen behind anyone, and now he is still arrogant towards more than a dozen powerful people in Lingwu County, and he will not let him go at all.
If you want to move your mouth, you can do it if you don't want to.
After a few swings of the long sword, the movement outside was suppressed.
"It's the ministers who are abrupt, and the ministers will go back and ask the female relatives to pay homage to the princess!" Wei Le's tone was full of resentment and humiliation.
But the man was not enough: "You are vulgar, you must not understand the etiquette of paying homage to the crown princess, so I handed over the name card first, and asked the female officials around the princess to teach etiquette and then come to pay respects!" ”
These were originally normal gifts, but Chi Tang hadn't officially married into the East Palace after all, so it was no problem for Wei Le and the others not to follow this courtesy.
But since the man proposed it, Wei Le looked at the female official of the East Palace on the side, and could only grit his teeth and say yes.
"Why don't you welcome the princess into the city to rest!" The man shouted.
The carriage and horses moved slowly.
Enter the city, enter the embassy of the festival.
When Chi Tang got out of the car, he glanced at the man standing next to the car and nodded appreciatively: "Good job!" ”
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is there a reward for the crown princess?" ”
Chi Tang turned his head and instructed Mo San: "Add a chicken leg to him for dinner!" ”
The man laughed: "Why are you so nervous?" What more can I ask for than I can be? ”
Chi Tang stared at him and said, "Then what do you want?" ”
The man smiled: "I want to ask the crown princess to give her name!" ”
Chi Tang thought about it, he might not be able to find out his identity for a while, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover his memory, and it was really inconvenient to have no title.
So he nodded and said, "Aren't you amnesia?" Then call it amnesia! ”
How much trouble can it be to choose a name?
……
In the afternoon, Chi Tang slept for a while.
When I woke up, I saw the four of them sitting in the courtyard, with a table in the middle, and the table was full of worship posts, and the four of them were dismantling it.
"Why are there so many?" Chi Tang asked in surprise.
She had never received so many greetings in the capital.
Qi Lan said with a cold face: "I didn't have time to replace the original concierge for a while, so many posts were handed in, all kinds of people have it, it's just disgusting us!" ”
"That's it!" Mei Niang threw the worship post in her hand to the ground, and stepped on her feet angrily, "The merchant girl dares to hand over the worship post, phew!" ”
Chi Tang was moved in his heart and said, "Did Lingwu County also open a tea and horse market?" ”
The girls looked up at her, their faces confused, completely incomprehensible to what she was saying.
"The Tea and Horse Exchange Market is a decree implemented by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince two years ago, allowing merchants from the Central Plains to come to the border to do business with people of different races; I've heard my father mention that there are many merchants who use the tea horses given by the East Palace to attract them to the border to do business, and they can't just turn them away——"
Chi Tang bent down to pick up the post that Mei Niang had just thrown away.
"I don't know which ones there are, you can group the merchants' greetings together, and then Qi Si will send someone to meet them!"
As he spoke, he handed the prayer note in his hand to Qi Lan.
His eyes inadvertently swept over the words on the prayer post, and he was suddenly stunned.
"This ......" she took back the prayer post, read it carefully, and handed it to Qi Lan again, "Bring someone over, now!" ”
