Chapter 242: Proposed to Twice a Day
The Uighur broke Zhang Wenyuan's legs, and took Princess Taihe's jade pendant from the ruffian who had fainted to the ground, and then bowed to the carriage, "The princess is frightened." ”
Landing in the carriage and hearing the Uighur talking, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Dare to ask your honorable name, I don't know who your master is?" ”
The Uighur saluted respectfully, "If you go back to Her Royal Highness the Tang Princess, in the name of Kesa, the master of my family is the second prince of the Uighurs, Hosatler, and he once had a two-sided relationship with the princess, I wonder if the princess still remembers?" ”
It turned out to be him, so the situation was a little better than expected.
Luoluo naturally remembered, she hurriedly got out of the carriage and thanked her: "Naturally, one time is by the Qujiang Pond, and the other time is in the Daming Palace, Your Royal Highness is a hero." Thanks to you today, otherwise I wouldn't know how arrogant these people are. This princess is here to thank you, and please say hello to your master on my behalf. ”
Kesa smiled and said, "The princess is polite. Since the princess also wants to say hello to my master, and my master lives in the official residence, why doesn't the princess go there herself? ”
"The second prince is here too?" Luoluo was a little inexplicably happy in his heart, and was about to agree, but he hesitated a little and asked: "I don't know when Your Excellency and His Royal Highness the Second Prince arrived in Chang'an, and the palace didn't hear the Queen Mother mention it?" ”
Kesa said: "Don't hide it from the princess, I waited because I heard that His Majesty Datang had recently ascended the throne, so I sent an envoy to Datang again on the order of the Khan, and I just arrived in Chang'an at noon today." ”
Luo Luo said: "That is the case, I want to come to your car and horses, it is getting late today, and I am afraid that this princess is not suitable to disturb." Then another day, another day, I will come to the door to thank you in person. ”
"No, no, don't bother," Kesa hurriedly said: "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know, my master has just arrived in Chang'an today, and he is anxious to inquire about the princess's news." If the princess is truly grateful, even if she sells the next face, how about it? ”
He asked around for news of her? In this way, this is not exactly a chance encounter, it should be that they have already inquired in the palace and know that she came to the West Market, so they came to the West Market to look for her.
Seeing that she still seemed to be a little hesitant, she hurriedly said: "In the name of the Uighur Khan, I will ensure the safety of the princess." ”
Hearing him say this, it was a little inappropriate for Luoluo to refuse at this time. Evening feasts among the nobles were common, and the Uighur residences had small doors on the walls. As a princess, even if the door is closed, there is a curfew waist card to enter and leave freely.
Luoluo then nodded, "In this case, please lead the way." ”
The Uighurs, who had come on horseback, got into the carriage, and they rode in front of them to lead the way, and soon arrived at the palace where the envoy was staying.
The official residence is quite large, and all the decorations have always been arranged according to the habits of the Uighurs, and it is estimated that Li Heng has also received the news before, so the official residence has been cleaned up early, so there is no need to bother.
At this time, the residence was brightly lit, and a group of Uighurs were feasting and drinking in the flower hall. Kesa didn't call anyone to report, so he directly led Princess Taihe into it from outside.
As soon as Luoluo entered the door, she immediately saw Satler standing in the middle, holding a wine cup in her hand, her voice was not loud, but it happened to her ears, "I don't know what happened to the princess of the Tang Dynasty......
"I'm okay, I have His Royal Highness Lao Er to remember." Luoluo walked in and bowed to Satler.
He was stunned for a while, staring at Luoluo, and it took a long time to remember that this didn't seem to be in line with the etiquette of the Central Plains, and quickly withdrew his gaze, but he looked at her up and down again for a long time with some reluctance, "Oh my God, is this hall dreaming, is it really you?" ”
Luoluo smiled, "It's me." Speaking of which, I would like to thank Kesa for saving my life. ”
Kesa walked in after her, and said a few words to Satler in Uighur, and Satler's face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at Luo Luo again, "Is Her Royal Highness the princess injured?" ”
Luoluo hurriedly smiled in return: "I'm fine, Kesa and they came in time." ”
Only then did Sattler breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay to have nothing to do." It's just," he paused, "doesn't Her Royal Highness the princess go out with her entourage?" ”
Luoluo was a little embarrassed: "I also brought it when I went out on weekdays, but I came out in a hurry today, so I didn't call my entourage to come over." ”
She usually lives in Taiji Palace, and she can go directly from the palace to Daming Palace, so naturally she doesn't need to bring such a bunch of entourage with great fanfare. And today I was a little bored, and I came out of Daming Palace directly, so my entourage was in Taiji Palace and never followed.
Satler's face sank, and he blurted out in a reproachful tone: "How can Her Royal Highness the princess care so much about her own safety, what if she is accidentally hurt again?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he knew that he had said the wrong thing as quickly as possible. Although the Daming Palace had already ordered a seal on that incident, as a Uighur prince, Hosatler naturally had his intelligence channels. And the women of the Central Plains pay the most attention to the honor, and this kind of thing is indeed a little inappropriate to mention it in front of a group of men.
Luoluo also heard it, and sure enough, his face turned red, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Quesa knew about it, too. At the beginning, their second prince found out that Princess Taihe had an accident, and he was so distressed that Princess Taihe would not be able to think about it like an ordinary woman, so he looked for a short sight or something, and almost ignored the Khan's order and wanted to sneak to Chang'an City alone, Kesa was unwilling to go against the wishes of his master, and even packed his luggage.
Fortunately, when he heard that Princess Taihe was slowly getting better, he relieved himself and did not continue to disobey King Khan.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Kesa hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Royal Highness of my family is also worried about the safety of the princess, and has no other meaning. ”
Luoluo was silent for a moment and nodded, "Taihe, thank His Royal Highness the Prince for his concern." This time, it was too and negligent. ”
The atmosphere was temporarily eased, but Sattler's face was still not good, and he said angrily: "The emperor of the Central Plains is too unreliable, he actually had an accident on his own territory by his own woman, and again and again!" It's tolerable, it's unbearable! ”
For Li Heng, since he was a child, he never seemed to really try to protect her well. His love for her, or his liking, always seemed to bring her hurt and embarrassed. Maybe in his heart, Luoluo was strong and smart enough, so he didn't realize that she needed protection.
Even after her accident, he didn't seem to have any more people around her.
Luoluo explained: "The prince misunderstood, I am a princess, my majesty's sister, not his woman. ”
He shook his head vigorously, "No, you can see that your majesty likes you, and it is not just brother and sister. As far as Sattler knows, the princess and His Majesty are not brothers and sisters, right? ”
After a pause, he added: "It is God's will for two people to love each other, and even if they are brothers and sisters, in the eyes of us Uighurs, it is not a sin." ”
Luoluo hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I don't love anyone, I have already told the Queen Mother that I am a female Taoist priest, and I will lead the cultivation in this life......"
It was originally a very ordinary explanation, but to the ears of Ho Satler, there was something extraordinary about it. His gray eyes were as bright as gems, and he stepped forward and asked, "The princess really doesn't love Your Majesty, and she doesn't plan to marry a person from the Central Plains?" ”
In the second half of his sentence, a "yes" stuck in his throat is not appropriate to say, and it is not appropriate not to say it. What does it mean not to marry a Central Plainsman? Of course, becoming a female Taoist priest will not marry, but it cannot be said that she wants to marry a foreigner!
She didn't answer, and he eagerly held Luoluo's hand, "The princess of the Tang Dynasty, the most beautiful thorn rose in the Central Plains, I, the second prince of the Uighurs, Hao Satler, solemnly propose to Her Royal Highness the princess today, hoping that Her Royal Highness the princess will agree to be my princess, and go to the Uighurs with me, in the land of the Uighurs, I will do my best to protect the princess for the rest of her life!" ”
Although Luo Luo more or less knew that he had some meaning to him, but this request came a little suddenly, she was really ups and downs today, and two men proposed to her in one day?
Luoluo was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled out his hand, "This ......"
Kesa was afraid that Luoluo would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Our Uighurs are more direct in temperament, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will not be surprised." ”
Seeing her frightened and hesitant expression, he didn't care, took a step back, smiled, and showed two rows of white teeth, "This time, Satler is on the order of the Khan to ask the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess and relatives. He knew that the princess needed a little time, and the princess was not busy answering to him, this time we would stay in Chang'an City for two months, and he would be waiting for him at any time. ”
His smile was warm and clean, and at that moment, Luoluo suddenly felt reassured.
This is the feeling that Li Heng has never given her, Luoluo can't tell, at that moment, did she have a little bit of heartbeat.
At this time, Kesa said again: "Please also ask the Tang princess to believe in the sincerity of my master." For us Uighurs, a woman is not the best, we only look at the essence, some things...... We don't care as much as the Central Plains people. ”
He didn't know what he meant, but Luoluo understood what he meant. For the people of the Central Plains, a woman's chastity is destroyed, and she will bear the imprint of unchastity for the rest of her life, being discriminated against and despised. Zhang Wenyuan's words are so unbearable, but this is by no means his own thoughts.
But for the Uighurs, she had been devastated, but she survived strongly, perhaps more respectably.
Luoluo looked at Hao Satler and nodded seriously: "His Royal Highness Prince Luoluo Xie's understanding, this matter is ...... I'll think about it. ”
