Chapter Ninety-Two: The Fruit Festival

Arrived at the capital of Tibet, Luo some city, it was the middle of autumn, everywhere wafted the fragrance of melons and fruits, since entering the border of Tibet, the mission will taste a meal of roast sheep every time they go to a post station, the seven princes eat too much and feel that they are about to become sheep, from the inside to the outside, no matter how to wash there is a smell of sheep, I fell in love with the melon of Tibet, felt sweet into the heart, made up my mind to transport this melon and fruit to the Oriental continent in the future, but Qin Daochuan said that this kind of melon is close to the Uighurs, and it can not collide when picked, otherwise it is the most perishable, Furs and fine wine are suitable for long-distance transportation, and if the Seven Princes love them, they can bring back some dried fruits.

In fact, today's Tubo has long been different from what it used to be, sandwiched between the Western Xia and the Eastern Continent, and from time to time it was bullied by the Uighurs, of course, it also wanted to restore the glory of the previous dynasty, this time I listened to the instigation of Buzhigud, and felt that several neighbors were fighting, and they seemed to be able to get something from it, who knew that they would wait and wait, and wait for such a result, Buzhigud was in a different place, although the Uighurs seemed to have gained some momentum and seized a few places, but the Western Xia army had driven back, and the Uighurs had little chance of winning. But he also had an accident at that time, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he is quite in a dilemma, so he has to gather his army in the border area where he and the Western Xia are handed over, and he does not say that he will fight or fight.

When he got the news that the Eastern Continent was going to send an embassy to come, King Wudongzan of Tibet was overjoyed, and God really helped Tibet, not only did he have an excuse to withdraw his troops, but he could also get a lot of benefits from the Eastern Continent. He was no longer anxious about the current situation, and waited for the Eastern Continent Mission, hearing that the first team of the mission was the seventh prince of the emperor, Wu Dongzan was even more proud, and it seemed that the military expenses tossed this time should be able to come back.

After the Seven Princes arrived at Luoqi City, they did not rush to Wudongzan, but rested in the post house for a day, and then the group went to the Tubo Palace.

Wu Dongzan saw that the seventh prince was not very old, but he was well-founded, not timid, neither arrogant nor intimidating, and even learned a few common words of Tubo, and the ordinary greeting actually used Tubo directly, and praised him for being worthy of being the prince of the Eastern Continent. The Seven Princes actually praised Wudongzan in Tubo, saying that he was the reincarnation of Songtsan Gampo, who had the talent of the great cause of the world, and everyone loved to listen to good words, and the first meeting was carried out happily.

Qin Daochuan looked at the high-spirited Seven Princes in front of him, and felt that the sign that he had been lecturing with himself in Lanxi Academy in the past had returned.

The people of Honglu Temple also felt that they had seen their eyes before, and they had been obscure, and the Seven Princes were actually such a figure, and Honglu Temple Qing had made up his mind that he would have to tell the right minister well after he went back, if this son became a talent, the Nine Emperors would be in danger.

The high-profile Seven Princes in the main hall and the low-key Qin Daochuan all fell into the eyes of everyone who hid behind the curtain and peeked. Some people like the unbridled Seven Princes, and some people like Qin Daochuan, the "killing god" who is famous in the West.

During the three-day feast, the Seven Princes only talked about the respective advantages of Tibet and the Eastern Continent, and even mentioned the harmony of the previous dynasty and various friendly exchanges, but did not mention the purpose of this trip.

Honglu Siqing was the first to lose his breath, but every time the Seventh Prince got drunk and lay in bed after the banquet, he didn't leave time to talk to him at all. went to Qin Daochuan, Qin Daochuan said: He is only responsible for guarding the mission, and the rest of the emperors have not explained, so it is inconvenient for him to participate. And they sent him away.

After the mission came, he stayed every day with good food and drink, accompanied the Seven Princes to talk loudly, and waited in his heart for the Seven Princes to mention the business of this trip, who knew that he seemed to forget, only remembered the wine and food, and completely forgot his responsibilities.

In my heart, I reduced a few points to this vain prince.

After another two days, it is the Wangguo Festival, a festival to celebrate the harvest in Tibet, with sacrifices, parades, archery, horseback riding, singing and dancing, Tibetan opera, bouldering and wrestling. When the mission met, Udongzan naturally invited them to watch and participate.

In the morning, Wudongzan will be paraded under the auspices of the priest, and the seven princes sit on the high viewing platform, which is quite eye-catching. Qin Daochuan absentmindedly sat on the seat on the side, thinking that Ruoshu should have given birth, and he didn't know if it was smooth, whether it was a son or a daughter, whether it was more like her or more like himself, and then felt that it didn't matter who looked like him, his personality still didn't have to be like Ruoshu, if it was a daughter, he would have to find someone as good-tempered as himself in the future, but it wasn't his silent and cold image that actually entered the eyes of others.

In the afternoon, the celebration was officially opened, the five princesses of Wudongzan, Gesang Quzhen, sang on the high platform opposite the viewing platform and danced the Andai dance, the accompanying dancers around them were circular, each holding a colored scarf, Gesang Quge led the singing, everyone was harmonious, singing and dancing. The princess's eyes were bright, her dancing posture was chic, and her singing voice was tactful, Wu Dongzan looked at the Seven Princes proudly, and the Seven Princes praised the princess for her ethereal immortality, like a heavenly maiden descending to the earth, which he had never seen before. When Wu Dongzan heard this, he became even more proud, and said: "She is my pearl, the most precious treasure that God has given me. "The Seventh Prince should be in harmony.

As soon as the fifth princess Gesang Quzhen stepped off the stage, she saw a girl who was slightly younger than Gesang Quzhen and came to the stage with a double-layer lantern in her hand. Wu Dongzan saw it and introduced it to the Seventh Prince: "This is my Seventh Princess, Bai Ma Ram, my youngest daughter, who is only 12 years old this year.

As soon as the words fell, the music in the audience sounded, Bai Malam put the lamp in his mouth, bent down and a harrier turned over, the flame on the lamp only flashed twice, and the lamp oil did not spill a drop. The audience cheered, Bai Maram did not stop, kept rolling, and the lanterns swayed from side to side but still steadily. The sound of the music in the audience changed, Bai Malam took the lantern from his mouth, divided it into two, held it in his hand, flew up and down, swayed back and forth, and matched the rhythm of the music, which attracted the audience to cheer one after another, Wu Dongzan sat on the high platform, without saying a word, until his daughter finished dancing and thanked him when he stepped off the stage, he said: "Good daughter, I don't know when I learned this dance, it was better than her mother's dance." He turned his head and introduced to the Seventh Prince: "This is a lantern dance, which is especially difficult to dance, and ordinary people dare not play at all." ”

The Seventh Prince replied: "It's really a return wind and snow, which is even more shocking, and the dancing is so beautiful that Yu is overwhelmed." ”

Wu Dongzan didn't know what the translator said, so he laughed happily and praised the seven princes for their vision.

At this point, the ritual of sacrifice is officially over, the people of the parade officially began to celebrate, Gesang Quzhen actually participated in the horse riding and sheep catching competition, she was riding on the horse, heroic, standing upright on the horse, galloping on the grassland, competing with the man without giving in, bending down to grab the sheep and then lifting the trophy above his head, towards the high platform, shouting, provoking Wu Dongzan to laugh, even said good daughter.

Gesang Quzhen went up to the high platform, and after seeing his father and the seventh prince, he said: "I heard that the Qin general of the mission is very good at equestrianism, Gesang Quzhen is willing to volunteer to try an equestrian competition with the general. ”

Everyone looked at Qin Daochuan, and Qin Daochuan, who bowed his head and was silent, realized that he stood up and bowed, and the Seventh Prince saw him with a blank face, and said: "General Qin, Princess Gesang Quzhen wants to compete with you in an equestrian game, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

Qin Daochuan listened, bowed again, and said: "The princess is gracious, Qin didn't dare to shirk, but on the way here, he accidentally injured his waist, and he still barely sat upright, so he could only be rude to the princess." ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions were different, and Gesang Quzhen said in disappointment: "In this case, the general has a good rest, but you have to send a medical officer to treat the general?" ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "Thank you, princess, the accompanying military doctor has already used the medicine, and there is no major problem, just rest and recuperate." ”

After speaking, the ceremonial officer said: "The archery competition begins. ”

The Seventh Prince looked at it for a while, and said to Wu Dongzan: "Dare to ask the king, I don't know if I can try it." ”

Wu Dongzan listened and said happily: "Why not, please." ”

Instructed his subordinates to bring bows and arrows to the Seven Princes, and the Seven Princes walked down the high platform, tried their hands, and said to Qin Daochuan, who was accompanying him: "It's heavier than what I usually use." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Then put it higher." ”

The Seventh Prince nodded, tried an arrow, and shot it on the edge of the red heart, and some people were already cheering.

Qin Daochuan said softly: "Don't shake your left hand, stretch it out again." ”

The Seventh Prince took a deep breath, held his breath and shot another arrow, hitting the red heart. Listening to the cheers this time, the Seventh Prince greeted all around, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he turned around, he said, "You really don't have any momentum now." ”

Seeing that Qin Daochuan didn't answer, he couldn't help but say again: "People won't eat you, what are you afraid of?" ”

Qin Daochuan said: "More things are better than less, I just want to return to Beijing safely." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "If it weren't for your resignation, why would I be used to show up." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "There are a few people in my team who are proficient in this way, although the Seventh Prince commands. ”

The Seventh Prince stopped, looked back at Qin Daochuan, and said, "I didn't expect you to be like this now, fear of guilt is not a strength." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "In the next heart, the seven princes want to succeed, why doesn't the prince appreciate it?" ”

The Seventh Prince turned his head and ignored him, but his mouth did not stop, "All of them have fallen into evil?" I don't see it. ”

Qin Daochuan listened, but stared at the back of the Seventh Prince's head and fell into deep thought.

Having been following the two of them, listening to them say plausible things back and forth, Qingyun, who had a clear heart, couldn't help coughing, felt Qin Daochuan's gaze, and subconsciously turned his head to look away.

Back on the high platform, Wu Dongzan naturally had to flatter a few words, and the seven princes said haha, saying that they were ugly.

Wu Dongzan said unintentionally: "After the Wangguo Festival, it is about to enter winter, a day is as cold as a day, maybe one day will be snowy, the seventh prince might as well stay in Tubo for the winter?" ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he hurriedly excused himself and said, "That's not good, my father is still waiting for me to go back and restore my life?" ”

Wu Dongzan continued: "What's the hurry, the winter on the plateau is beautiful, the prince is difficult to get this, watch the customs of Tubo more, if you feel lonely, this king can send you a few young women, the prince will be satisfied." ”

The seventh prince said: "The king said that he was joking, the little king had just become a relative before he went to the envoy, how could he delay the future of others." ”

Wu Dongzan asked, "Oh? Dare to ask how many wives does the prince have? ”

The Seventh Prince replied: "This is the only room." ”

Wu Dongzan said with a smile: "Why does the eldest husband have no wife, the prince is too restrained, my Tibetan woman is gorgeous, and the beauties of the Oriental Continent have their own merits, why don't the prince open his eyes and be more tolerant?" ”

The Seventh Prince said, "Xiao Wang doesn't understand. ”

Wu Dongzan stopped answering with a haha.
