Chapter Forty-Eight: Exquisite Battle Armor
Soon the accompanying imperial physician rushed over, and he carefully examined Song Moqing's bloody feet.
"Thankfully, it didn't hurt my bones. But I was sprained, so I had to recuperate for two days. The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "Champion Lang, you are also too desperate. If you're not careful, your feet will be gone! β
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuru's tears were about to fall again.
"How can it be so serious!" Song Moqing hurriedly said: "I'm actually quite good at riding and shooting!" At the beginning, I studied in the Taishi Mansion! Polo is also very good! You really don't have to worry about me! He held Zhao Yuru's hand and said, "Don't cry, go and see that exquisite battle armor!" β
"What a broken armor!" Zhao Yuru muttered, but still held Song Moqing's hand tightly and refused to let go.
"Champion Lang!" At this moment, a beautiful female voice came. A woman wearing a hat and looking at the past with an extraordinary bearing walked over slowly. She was followed by a group of maids and slaves.
Seeing this, Song Moqing struggled to get up, knelt on the ground and saluted.
"See the eldest princess!"
Zhao Yuru was stunned, this is the eldest princess of Anguo, who lives in a simple place? It is said that the eldest princess is the first beauty of the royal family, but her fate is hard, and she has promised a total of three horses, but all of them died unexpectedly before getting married. The last one to die was the unlucky Zhang Jian.
So this eldest princess of Anguo is now nineteen years old, and she is already considered an older woman in the royal family. But looking at the government and the opposition, no one dares to ask for marriage anymore.
When you see the eldest princess, how can you not bow down. Although Zhao Yuru was curious about the appearance of this eldest princess of Anguo, she still knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Mr. Zhao, please get up!" The eldest princess stepped forward to help Zhao Yuru up, and said softly: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we don't need to be so formal!" β
Zhao Yuru was stunned, why, they knew each other before?
Looks like the relationship is not bad?
She pursed her lips, tried her best to pretend to be familiar, nodded and said, "The princess said that she laughed, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished!" β
The eldest princess smiled slightly, looked at Song Moqing and said, "Champion Lang, you were really brave just now!" Hongu was also terrified when he watched it from the sidelines. β
Song Moqing hurriedly hugged his fists and stood aside without speaking.
"Alright, go get your loot!" The princess smiled, gently lifted the corner of the hat, looked at Zhao Yuru and said, "Enter the palace another day, let's catch up with the old days!" β
When she saw the princess's appearance, Zhao Yuru was stunned, and the way she laughed was actually a little similar to Lin Yufu!
But it's only a few points, take a closer look at the two of them, one is naturally noble, but the other is?
"Born to be a fox!" She smiled self-deprecatingly.
Hey, it's been a long time, and I'm almost accepting this body! Sometimes I forget that I was once a great beauty who captivated the country and the city!
She helped Song Moqing limp towards the emperor, and asked curiously as she walked, "Is this eldest princess also interesting to you?" β
"Huh?" Song Moqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the eldest princess and I are usually just nodding friends!" β
"So wasn't she very nice to me before? I don't remember a little! β
"It's pretty good! It's just that after you took charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, you became busier and busier, and I don't see you entering the palace from time to time. β
"That's it!" Zhao Yuru nodded, she remembered that Lin Yufu had mentioned to herself that Zhang Jian was assassinated by Yan Linjun.
"It's really ruthless, I won't let go of my future brother-in-law!" Zhao Yuru muttered in her heart, and took Song Moqing to Yan Linyu.
Zhao Yujing was already waiting there, and when he saw Zhao Yuru and Song Moqing walking over together, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Song Moqing. Seeing that his excitement was beyond words, he grabbed Song Moqing's hand and said a sentence for a long time: "Thank you!" β
Seeing Zhao Yujing's appearance, Zhao Yuru wondered in his heart, is that armor so important? Since it is so important, why should it be given as a congratulatory gift to the former queen?
As he spoke, Gonggong Hu had already brought up the battle armor.
"Sect Chief Zhao, this armor can now be regarded as the return of things to its original owner!" After Grandpa Hu finished speaking, his eyes were filled with tears, as if he remembered something from the past. Everyone present was silent, just staring at the delicate armor and sighing silently.
Zhao Yuru didn't dare to slack off, stretched out her hands, and took it respectfully, after all, it was not the real Zhao family, she didn't feel much at this time, and she didn't know what they were sad about. However, she still let out a long sigh, pretended to be sad, and asked Doraku to put away the armor.
"Champion Lang is brave this time, I have another reward!" Yan Linyu said with a smile: "If you want anything in the future, just ask!" β
"Weichen doesn't dare!" Song Moqing hurriedly knelt down and said: "Horse racing is an entertainment thing, and Weichen just did what he promised, and he didn't dare to invite rewards." β
Yan Linyu just smiled, then looked at Zhao Yuru and said, "It seems that Lord Zhao is really prescient and has found you such a good husband!" I have already put the words here, if you want any reward, come to me at any time! β
Seeing this, Song Moqing didn't shirk, so he had to kowtow and thank him.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Anguo is here!" A eunuch walked in to give a report.
"Oh? Is the moon coming? Yan Linyu stood up and said with a smile: "It's hard for her to come out and walk around, please come in!" β
Because it was inconvenient for the foreign minister to be in the same room with the princess, Zhao Yuru and others retired first.
Zhao Yujing walked ahead, and when he got off the stairs, he saw the eldest princess coming towards him.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then he saluted, and then slowly walked down the stairs.
The two didn't say a word, but the unusual feelings were quickly captured by Zhao Yuru.
"Won't it?" She looked at the back of the departing princess of Anguo, and the doubts in her heart deepened.
"It seems that there are a lot of things to ask Lin Yufu for!" She muttered to herself.
The lively horse race is over, and Song Moqing is injured and wants to go back first. Zhao Yuru naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to be alone with him, and insisted on sticking to him!
Zhao Yujing didn't object, after all, after this incident, it was not surprising that his little sister would secretly agree.
The group walked out of the racecourse and saw Tian waiting outside.
"Daddy!" Zhao Yujing's three-year-old son jumped up happily and waved when he saw his father coming out.
"Xiu'er!" He took two steps forward and picked up his son, Tian stepped forward, saw that his hand was injured, and said with some concern: "The little guy came to report that you were injured, so I came to pick you up." You okay? β
"It's okay, it's just a fold. What are you doing with your kids on such a hot day? β
"Xiu'er is shouting to see her father and aunt!" Tian smiled softly, the two didn't talk much, but they could see the tacit understanding that had been married for many years.
Zhao Yuru remembered the princess and the eldest brother she had just seen on the stairs, the pause in their steps and the small movements of their fingers, obviously they were trying their best to hide some emotions.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to send Zhuang Yuanlang back, so I won't go with you!" She took Song Moqing's hand and said, "Keep me food for the evening!" β
Tian smiled softly and nodded. The family of three turned around and left.
"Lord Xiao Zhao's family is really harmonious, which is enviable!"
"Envy? I'll give birth to you! Zhao Yuru hugged Song Moqing and said, "Give birth to five!" β
"Miss Zhao, you're joking!" Song Moqing's face turned red, and she began to break free from Zhao Yuru's arms frantically, then turned around and limped into the carriage.
"Oh, don't be shy!" Zhao Yuru laughed and climbed into the carriage with him.
In Qinyun Juri, Lin Yufu was looking at the list written by Vice General Yang, there were so many people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and it was impossible for her to remember everyone's name and appearance. The only one on the list that she is more familiar with is a cook.
What did he do when he put some ordinary soldiers into the camp on the outskirts of Beijing? Is it possible to do a good deed? Let those unemployed vagrants have something to eat?
While she was thinking, there was a commotion from the bottom of Qinyunju.
"Oh, head Zhao? You Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· What are you doing here? The bustard's voice trembled. She thought it was because Lin Yufu beat Vice General Yang yesterday, so Zhao Yuru came to find trouble!
"Yo, Mom, you're getting younger!" Zhao Yuru stepped forward and looked at her face and said, "There is no white compress for pearl powder!" β
"Sect Leader Zhao, you are laughing, may I askΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· What are you doing here? β
"I'm looking for Lin Yufu!" Zhao Yuru said with his hands behind his back.
"You're looking for... Yufu? The old bustard was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Chief Sect Leader, it was the military master who provoked first that day!" It has nothing to do with our Yufu girl! β
Seeing this, Zhao Yuru rolled his eyes and said, "What, are you afraid that I will take away your cash cow?" β
"Boss, you're joking, I didn't mean that. I just hope you can find out and don't wronged good people! β
"I can't see it, you still care about Lin Yufu!"
"How can I say it, I grew up watching her since I was a child, and I treat her as a daughter! You look at Qinyun Juli, which girl is as free as her, where she likes to go, and she can choose her own guests. When she was in the palace, I was so worried that I broke my heart for her all the time! β
"Tut-tut, Mom, I'm really touched by what you said!" Zhao Yuru patted the bustard's shoulder and said, "I know that you love her, don't worry, I won't catch her, just talk to her!" β
After speaking, he strode towards Lin Yufu's room.
As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the new tea inside.
"Sect Leader Zhao, why don't you knock on the door?" Shincha patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death!" β
"You're so bold that you're still scared? Go out, I have something to say to your girl! β
Lin Yufu sat at the table and nodded at Xincha, and Xincha went out silently.
"Yes, this girl is very easy to call!"
"Xincha is very clever, you train well!" Lin Yufu praised it painlessly.
"It's a little better than your fat girl!"
Lin Yufu smiled slightly, put down the teacup and said, "Taole is more clumsy, but he can spare his life for me, and he is a loyal servant!" β
"Okay, I know!"
Zhao Yuru looked at her holding the list in her hand, patted her head and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot to set a set of Yan Linjun's words today!" β
Lin Yufu looked at Zhao Yuru with a look of remorse, and shook his head, not surprised by this result.
"That's it, even if you ask, he is too wary of you, and he can't ask anything!"
"Could it be that you are going?" Zhao Yuru squeezed his eyes and said, "Do you miss him again?" Do you want to go back to the palace and renew your relationship with him? After all, people have admitted that they want to marry you as a princess, and if you work hard, maybe you can change my fate! β
Lin Yufu rolled her eyes, she had never felt that her face was so hateful.
"Me? In his heart, he has long distrusted me, what a princess, it's just a show! After speaking, Lin Yufu sighed and said, "I'm not like you, you can see what a man thinks at a glance." In the days of the palace, I only felt that my feelings were played by Yan Linjun. Obviously, he wants to kill me, and he is obviously very suspicious of me, but as long as he is gentle and says good things, I can't tell whether he is a good person or a bad person! β
"Hey, then if you stay in Qinyunju for a long time, you can see the ugly faces of all kinds of men!" Zhao Yuru patted her shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, don't talk about men, I came to you to show you a good thing!" β
As she spoke, she took out the exquisite armor from her baggage!
"Look! What a good thing I brought you! β
When he saw the shining armor appear in front of him, Lin Yufu's eyes widened. She stood up, then fell to her knees, hugging the armor and crying bitterly.
Zhao Yuru was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Yufu to react so much, she stood there at a loss for a while, and didn't know what to do.
"ThatΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Then you get up first, don't cry, you cry too loudly, others think I did something to you! Hurry up! β
But Lin Yufu still hugged the armor and cried, and in desperation, Zhao Yuru could only sit beside her and watch her cry.
After a long time, Lin Yufu gradually stopped crying.
"How did you get that?" She asked, looking up.
"That's going to ask your fiancΓ©!" Zhao Yuru clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Do you know, this is what Song Moqing worked hard to win back for you from Yan Linjun!" It's really desperate, and my feet are almost useless! With that, she told Lin Yufu everything that happened on the racetrack today.
"So, Yan Linjun took out this armor to make a color head?"
"That's right! I think it's strange, you said that the emperor and the former queen have a deep relationship, how can Yan Linjun be allowed to take the things of the former queen out privately as a lottery head? Also, since your family is such a treasure of this armor, why did you give it to the former queen as a congratulatory gift? β
Lin Yufu wiped her tears, stood up and said: "That was the first queen's initiative, after my mother died, my father was sluggish, and he stopped training and went to court. I sat across from this armor every day, as if my mother was still alive. After several years like this, I saw that people were going to die. Later, it was the first queen who issued an order and took away this armor on the grounds of congratulatory gifts. My dad also broke into the harem late at night to get it back. But who is the first queen, the proudest daughter of Lord Qi Yun. She scolded my father in the temple and slapped him three times to make him completely sober. After that, the armor stayed there. β
"I was twelve years old. It's been four years since my mother died. It took my dad four whole years to come out. Or, he hasn't come out yet. Lin Yufu sighed, touched this armor, and tears fell again.
"Now that the first queen has passed away, this armor is back in our hands!"
"I hope your dad won't be as excited as you when he sees it!" Zhao Yuru pouted, shook his head and said, "The strange thing is that Yan Linjun seems to be coming for our Zhao family today, and he seems to have intentionally wanted to return this battle armor to us!" β
Lin Yufu calmed down and thought about it carefully.
Yan Linjun and herself have raced horses, and they are not her opponents. If he asked to race horses with the Zhao family without knowing Zhao Yuru's current identity, then it really seemed that he wanted to return the armor.
"Is he currying favor with the Zhao family?" Lin Yufu muttered to herself.
The Zhao family had three generals, and after Qi Yun retreated, half of Dayan's army returned to their family. Coupled with the other half of Yan Linjun's hand, it is easy to make a difference!
"Did he say that even if you don't win, he'll give you the armor!" Lin Yufu continued to ask.
"Yes! So he did it on purpose, right? β
"It's very likely!" Lin Yufu took a deep breath, touched the armor and said, "When you go to the battlefield in the future, wear it!" It's my mother's, and it will definitely protect you safely. β
"I don't want it!" Zhao Yuru frowned and said, "To the battlefield? I'm not going to go to war one day, am I? Don't scare me! β
Lin Yufu's face was grim, and it didn't look like a joke.
"What if I say it's possible at any time?"
Zhao Yuru's whole face distorted, thought for a while, and suddenly said happily: "I know, I will marry Zhuang Yuanlang immediately, and then give him a child!" Keep conceiving and keep giving birth! No, let a pregnant woman go to war! β
Hearing this, Lin Yufu's face twitched.
Only she can think of such a method!
"But Song Moqing, this person, I am impressed!" She smiled lightly and said, "My dad has a good eye! β
"At least it's better than yours!" Zhao Yuru said sarcastically mercilessly.
"Oops! Still my room is comfortable! This bed is soft, and this fragrance is Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·." She was stunned for a moment, then got up and poured the incense she was lighting.
"You stupid, this is in Qinyunju, how can you light incense?"
Lin Yufu was stunned, looking at the incense burner, not knowing what was going on.
"What's the most in this building? Musk perfume silver saffron soup! It's all child-avoiding stuff! My mother told me that if you want to have a child from a good conscience, don't light incense indiscriminately, who knows if anyone will mix anything with this incense for you! β
Lin Yufu opened her mouth, she never knew this.
"And that said?"
"Since ancient times, where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs. So the harem and the green building, to a certain extent, are almost the same! You, learn slowly! β
Zhao Yuru stood up, picked up the hat hanging on the wall and put it on, and said to herself: "By the way, are you very familiar with the eldest princess of Anguo?" Today she is close to me, I don't know the relationship between the two of you, so ask, next time you enter the palace, you won't be timid! β
"The eldest princess of Anguo?" Lin Yufu was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while and said, "Has she met my brother?" β
Hearing this, Zhao Yuru took off the hat on his head, revealing an excited expression.
"So there's really a story, right? I knew it! She moved a chair and sat in front of Lin Yufu, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, looked at her with a wink and said, "Say it quickly!" β
