Chapter 431: Peers
Zhang Yao's appearance was very surprising, Princess Jin Yao looked at the officials and guards around her, as well as the increasing number of people on the street, and it was not the time and place to speak.
"Zhang Yao, you stay first." Princess Jin Yao said, and instructed an official beside her, "Give Zhang Gongzi, no, it is Lord Zhang who arranges a place to live." "I'm afraid that this official doesn't know Zhang Yao and scorns him, "This is Zhang Yao, you know, praised by His Majesty as a capable officer of water control." β
Of course, this official knows Zhang Yao, but it is okay to be praised by His Majesty as a capable official, but Chen Danzhu's pet, Chen Danzhu roared at the country's eunuch for this son, as for water control, I heard that under the guidance of several important ministers of Dasi Nong, it is considered a bit talented.
Without waiting for the official to respond, Zhang Yao waved his hand: "No, no, I'm here to see the princess." β
Princess Jin Yao said: "I know, but I'm going to go out now, you wait for me to come back first." β
Zhang Yao still waved his hand: "The princess is going to Xiliang, I came to accompany the princess." β
Accompany her? Princess Jin Yao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Did Miss Weiwei or Danzhu order you?" "You're no longer polite, please Zhang Yao get in the car and talk.
Zhang Yao was not polite, and came up with his own book.
Officials, look at me, I look at you, first, I didn't react, and second, I didn't know how to stop it.
The carriage continued to move forward, Zhang Yao put down the book, the bookbook was full, and some books fell down, Princess Jin Yao picked it up with a smile and handed it to him.
"How did you get here?" She asked, "Aren't you in Bianjun?" β
Zhang Yao said: "The Bianqu side has been stabilized, I am now checking Baiqu in Jingyang Sanyuan, and I received a letter from my sister Liu Wei and know about the affairs of the capital." β
Princess Jin Yao nodded.
"Weiwei said about you, Miss Danzhu is in prison, and she and Li Lian can't leave the capital, so she entrusted me to meet the princess halfway, anyway, I am also the one who has seen the princess, so that the princess can be regarded as an acquaintance to talk to." Zhang Yao continued, "I received the letter and hurried to Xijing. β
Speaking of this, he smiled again.
"I'm much closer to Xijing than the capital this time, and I'm not as tired as last time, and I can't even speak, otherwise I would have run for nothing to see the princess."
Princess Jin Yao laughed, knowing that the last time he said was when Chen Danzhu killed Yao Fu, and Danzhu told her about it afterwards, Zhang Yao was tired and dumb in order to see her for the last time.
"I'm not afraid if my voice is hoarse." She smiled and teased, "Doctor Yuan, who cured you last time, was in Xijing." β
Zhang Yao also smiled: "Doctor Yuan is also in Xijing, I will also visit when the time comes." β
Princess Jin Yao smiled and motioned to him: "There are tea and snacks in the towel basin here, you are free to do it yourself, although your voice is not hoarse, you are tired all the way over." β
Princess Jin Yao still has no maids by her side, so she can't let the princess pour tea for him personally, Zhang Yao rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands unceremoniously, poured tea himself, and picked up snacks to eat, "I'm either walking in the barren mountains or in the river, it's late when I get the news, when I come here, the princess has to leave, alasββ"
So can't you stay with her, the princess who married Xiliang, for long? Princess Jin Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "You did receive the news late, and you don't know the latest news." β
Zhang Yao bit the snack and looked at her puzzled.
"My father is well, and I don't have to marry Xiliang." Princess Jin Yao said with a smile, "I'm going to convey my father's will to King Xiliang as an envoy now." β
Zhang Yao glared at the round eyes and swallowed the dim sum hard, stroking his palm: "Great, great, I know, the princess is a celestial person." He clasped his hands together and muttered in front of him, muttering and chattering, not knowing which way he was thanking the gods and Buddhas.
Princess Jin Yao looked at him with a smile, although she was not alone and afraid, but if someone was happy together, the happiness would increase.
"So, you don't have to give me a ride." She smiled, "You go back to Xijing to rest, if you are not in a hurry to leave, just wait for me to come back, and we will see you again." β
Zhang Yao waved his hand again: "Although there is no need to go to Xiliang, the princess still has to go to see the people of Xiliang, and she is still alone, so I will accompany her." Speaking of this, he asked, "Where did the princess meet the people of Xiliang?" β
The princess took out the picture from a small drawer beside her.
"It's nice that the princess likes to look at the map, too." Zhang Yao praised on the side.
She didn't like it much, but after leaving the capital, she couldn't help but take it every day, and saw how far away from home she was after Xiliang - look at it, and she was used to it, and she didn't think about a place at home, but that Daxia was so big, she was so small, she had never been anywhere, and people couldn't go, so she just imagined it.
"Like Danzhu, he has honey on his mouth, and he can boast about anything anytime, anywhere." Princess Jin Yao said with a smile and pointed to a place on the map, "It's agreed here, Fengcheng." β
Zhang Yao stroked his palm: "That's great, I just want to go and see the ancient waterway of the Yellow River in Fengzhou." β
Princess Jin Yao laughed: "Then this palace is convenient for you." β
Listening to the laughter coming from the car, the officials outside the car, you look at me, I look at you, and exchange a helpless look, this Zhang Yao has some ability, not only can Chen Danzhu roar for him, but also please the princess so much.
But what can be done, the princess doesn't open her mouth to drive people away, and they can't say anything, now the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the princess is the biggest.
Zhang Yao traveled in the princess's carriage like this, although the two were not familiar with each other, but there was no embarrassment to have nothing to say, Zhang Yao showed the mountains, rivers and rivers he had visited these days, records, and pictures to Princess Jin Yao, and Princess Jin Yao saw it with relish.
Seven or eight days' journey was a quick journey.
In a wilderness outside Fengzhou City, you can see the camp of the Xiliang people in the distance.
"Why are there so many tents?" Zhang Yao looked at it and asked in surprise.
Although the officials in Fengzhou City didn't know who the man sitting in the princess's car was, they still replied respectfully: "The prince of Xiliang came in person, with more entourage, but more gifts, there are more than a dozen carts, as well as cattle and sheep." β
In this way, Zhang Yao didn't ask.
Princess Jin Yao asked him, "Do you want to arrange for local officials to accompany you?" β
Zhang Yao waved his hand: "No, it's inconvenient, the time is delayed, the princess will arrange a horse for me." β
Princess Jin Yao asked the people around her to give Zhang Yao a horse, and let him fill it with food and drink: "It'll be over in about two or three days, but you can go back together after you finish reading." β
Zhang Yao also responded politely, and rode away with his luggage.
The people of Xiliang in the camp had already heard the news and came to greet them, and the prince of Xiliang watched a young man get down from the gorgeous princess's car, and then said goodbye to the princess.
"I heard that the princesses of the Central Plains will raise love slaves." He sighed to the entourage around him, "I saw it today." β
These words made the officials of Great Xia look embarrassed, and they wanted to explain that it was not the case, but it was really difficult to explain - they could only say that Zhang Yao was a eunuch.
Princess Jin Yao didn't get angry, stopped the officials with a smile, let the carriage and horses come closer to this side, and looked at the Crown Prince of Xiliang, as if she was curious and satisfied: "I have never seen a man like the Prince of Xiliang, it looks unique." β
This time it was the turn of the Xiliang officials to be a little embarrassed, and the crown prince of Xiliang was stunned, then laughed, and said to Princess Jin Yao: "Thank you princess for your praise." "Stretch out your hand again and please," the princess is invited into the camp. β
Princess Jin Yao bowed: "The master's family is late, and I hope the crown prince will bear with me." β
This is the realm of Great Xia, even if they walk into the camp of the Xiliang people, they are also the masters, Princess Jin Yao replied like this, not negligent at all, and her words were sharp, and the officials who followed were relieved and proud, but they didn't expect the pampered princess who was forced to come and kiss turned out to be so powerful.
From this point of view, the prince's promise to marry Xiliang is an illusion, but it actually has another meaning.
The two sides entered the camp, and Princess Jin Yao also declined the suggestion of the prince of Xiliang to rest and feast.
"I'm not tired, even though it's the first time I've walked this far, but it's always at home." Princess Jin Yao said with a smile, "As for the banquet, when we are done with the matter, we will come to congratulate us." β
The crown prince of Xiliang could only respond, and the two sides set up seats in the center of the camp, and the officials of Honglu Temple conveyed the good news of the emperor's recovery to the people of Xiliang.
This news surprised the Xiliang people a little, but what surprised them even more was that the emperor broke the marriage contract.
"Although that was what the prince said, but at that time, the prince represented the emperor, how could you go back on your word?" Xiliang's officials angrily accused.
The official of Honglu Temple said: "It is precisely for the sake of keeping faith that you can't do this, the emperor has already set up a marriage for the princess, but you don't have to be angry, it's just that the marriage between Princess Jin Yao and the crown prince can't be completed, Your Majesty is very willing to marry your princess, so that you and I can still conclude a marriage." β
Princess Jin Yao sat in the middle and said with a smile: "I heard that the crown prince brought me a lot of gifts. β
The crown prince of Xiliang nodded: "Yes, I really can't wait to show my heart to the princess." β
Princess Jin Yao smiled: "It's okay, these gifts will be used as your princess's dowry, and the prince's heart can be felt by your sister and Da Xia." β
......
.......
For the Xiliang people, the talks were unhappy but there was no way to disperse.
The princess of Great Xia did not return to the nearest city to rest, but also camped here and became the master of this place.
The crown prince of Xiliang returned to his tent surrounded by his entourage, and his expression was very happy compared to the indignation of his entourage.
The maids lifted the curtains, and the prince of Xiliang walked in and untied his bound robes.
"I have to say that the princess of Great Xia is really as dazzling as a jewel." He laughed, "It really makes my heart move." β
Neither the entourage nor the maids followed, but the prince of Xiliang did not talk to himself, and on the main seat of the tent, there was a man wrapped in heavy robes, who looked very old, with gray hair, a weak face, and a somewhat cloudy look.
"yes." Hearing the words of the Crown Prince of Xiliang, he smiled, "The children born to my cousin emperor are very powerful. β
