Chapter Seventy-One: Xijing

The rain in Xijing is not as much as in Wudu.

After the scorching sun sets, the ground remains hot, making the towering city in the distance like a mirage.

The escort in front turned his horse's head and returned to a carriage beside which sat a coachman and a maidservant.

The guard asked into the car, "Is the fourth lady going straight into the city or going home first?" ”

"Into the city, of course." The female voice in the car was a little irritable, I don't know if I was leaving the warm Wudu, or if the weather was too hot and the road was hard, "My home is in the city, which home to go back to?" ”

The guards didn't dare to say more, and the carriage sped up, and the potholes in the road made the carriage shake one after another, and the cries of children sounded in the carriage—

"Look at the road!" The female voice in the car was grumpy again.

The coachman turned pale with fright, wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowed down the horse's speed—but the female voice in the carriage was anxious again: "Is it just a little bit of the way, do you want to go to the third watch in the middle of the night?" Seeing that the city gate is about to be closed, do you think this is the capital of Wu? Anyone can come in casually? ”

The coachman hurriedly got out of the car, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said a small confession.

"Hurry up." The female voice shouted.

The maidservant sitting in the car said, "Get up, Miss is in a hurry to go home." ”

The guard next to him also glanced at the coachman, who hurriedly got up, and did not dare to sit on the car, leading the horse and running in small steps.

The children in the car were crying, and the female voice softly coaxed, "Don't cry, my mother will sing to you." Then a low hum came out, tactful and pleasant—

The child was gradually soothed and fell asleep, and the trembling heart of the scolded coachman seemed to be soothed.

The carriage soon arrived in front of the city gate, and the guards came forward to check it, and the guards handed over the yellow names of the scholars, and the guards still ordered the car door to be opened for inspection.

The guards could only open the car door, and in the twilight they saw a woman of about twenty years old sitting in it, holding a child with her head slightly lowered and shaking gently, the car door opened, she raised the tail of her eyes, and the rolling eye waves swept over the guards—

At this moment, someone in the city galloped over and asked loudly, "Is the fourth lady here?" ”

The woman sat up straight, looked out, and raised her voice softly: "It's me—Fuqing, you're here." ”

The person who came was an elderly man, wearing a cloth cloth, and he walked inconspicuously in the crowd, but the guards who did not easily let him go with the yellow name of the family here, gave way to him.

Fuqing looked inside the car, and the woman showed her face in front of him, with delicate facial features, graceful and graceful, and she was a complete beauty.

Fuqing smiled at her: "It's been a long time since I saw Miss Four." His gaze fell on the woman's arms again, his eyes were loving, "This is the little boy, it's all so big." ”

Without waiting for the woman to say anything, he closed the door.

"Don't disturb the little boy, let's go home quickly."

......

......

The guards at the city gate watched these people leave, and one of them, a newly transferred man, asked with some puzzlement: "Why don't you check them?" Although this woman is from the Huang Shi clan, the crown prince has an order, and the emperor's relatives must also check it-"

Because the princes and kings plotted to kill the imperial historian Zhou Qing, His Majesty was angry and crusaded against the princes and kings, and the court was supervised by the prince, and the prince was conscientious and strict in law and discipline.

The guard next to him glanced at him: "Because this Fuqing father-in-law is from the prince's mansion." ”

The previous guard didn't speak for a while, it turned out to be from the Prince's Mansion?

He looked at the car driver in the distance and was a little curious, the prince has already married, has a son and a daughter, the princess is gentle and virtuous, who is this young woman holding a child from the prince's mansion?

This curiosity can't be asked.

If the guards had been following, they would have seen that the carriage, accompanied by Fuqing, the eunuch of the Prince's Mansion, had not driven into the Prince's Mansion, but had gone to a large mansion in the west of the city.

This piece of mansion occupies a lot of land, and it is either rich or expensive to have such a large mansion in the capital.

This is the family residence of Yao Shu of Honglu Temple, and Yao Siqing's eldest daughter is the crown princess.

At this time, the main gate of Yao's house opened, and several decent subordinates were looking around, and when they saw the carriages and horses, mainly the father-in-law of Fuqing, they immediately ran to greet them.

"Father-in-law Fuqing, my lord is waiting for you."

"Father-in-law Fuqing, do you want to drink tea with your hands first?"

They asked respectfully and considerately, treating this eunuch like their own masters.

Fuqing thanked him with a smile and pointed to the car behind him: "The fourth lady has arrived, let's go see the adults first." ”

The people seemed to see the car behind Fuqing at this time, and the car slowly drove into the house, the door closed, and the last trace of twilight dissipated and the night covered the earth.

Several servants waited in the house, watching the woman in the car come down with the child in her arms.

"Fourth Miss." They stepped forward to salute, "The room has been cleaned up, will you wash and change your clothes first?" ”

Miss Yao Si shook her head: "No need, I'll go see my uncle first." She is self-aware, these servants treat her like a young lady, and she can't really put a young lady here.

She called out to Ah Qin, and the maidservant girl stepped forward to take the sleeping child from her arms.

"Take the fun and rest."

Ah Qin responded and followed the servants to the inner courtyard, while Miss Yao Si hurriedly walked to the main hall.

In the main hall, Yao Siqing was talking to Fuqing: "You are still here in person, I will take her over when the time comes." ”

"The crown princess is really worried." Fuqing said, "Let me take a look, you also know that the prince is too busy now, everything is everything, and nothing can go wrong." ”

Thinking of the emperor's importance to the crown prince, Yao Siqing couldn't hide his joy: "Your Highness, don't be too nervous, everything is fine, be careful, don't get tired." ”

"Your Majesty is personally enlisted, and he doesn't say that he is tired, who dares to say anything else." Fuqing said with a smile.

Yao Siqing coughed lightly, and said happily: "Your Majesty's personal expedition has been rewarded again and again, first the King of Zhou was destroyed, and then the King of Wu gave up the country, and the princes and kings only left the Qi Kingdom, and the King of Qi was sick and weak——"

When he said this, he saw the young woman standing in the doorway with her eyebrows lowered, and her face sank suddenly.

"Afu, what's going on? How did Li Liang get killed? Do you know that it almost ruined the prince's big thing! ”

Yao Fu looked at the uncle in front of him, in fact, this is not his own uncle, she is a remote line in the Yao clan, the emperor designated the prince's family to Yao Siqing's family, Yao Siqing selected the appropriate age girl from the clan to be her daughter as a companion - Miss Yao is virtuous and virtuous, but her appearance is mediocre, Yao Siqing is afraid that her daughter will be disliked by the prince.

Yao Fu was selected for her good looks, but it was precisely because of her good looks that she was sent back by the prince.

The prince said that he chose Miss Yao because of her temperament, and it was enough to have Miss Yao alone.

For a while, it became a beautiful talk in the capital, Yao Siqing was happy and proud, and then the prince really fell in love with Miss Yao, and after five years of marriage, he gave birth to three children.

It's just that Yao Fu is alone.
