Chapter 8 Door-to-door
Li Si has been gone for a long time, and all the questions about him are like an absolute for the ages. It's fascinating, but no one can figure it out.
"Master Su, goodbye if you have a fate, Ruoxi will say goodbye."
"Farewell."
Coming out of the teahouse, Su Li waved goodbye to Wang Ruoxi. After that, he took Xiaoluo, and the two of them rode their horses and galloped in the direction of Prince Kang's mansion.
Prince Kang, whose name is Sun Hao, is the fourth brother of Sun Xiao, the reigning Emperor Wen of Chu. He was in a high position and had a pivotal position in the army, and was deeply loved by the low-level soldiers.
A sharp arrow of Southern Chu, the famous pioneer black battalion, is in his hands.
Although the number of soldiers and horses in this battalion is not very large, there are only more than 8,000 people. But every soldier in the vanguard black battalion is a standout who has been carefully selected from the soldiers and horses of the other battalions.
This battalion was invincible in all battles, and the enemy was terrified.
The relationship between Emperor Wen of Chu and Prince Kang is also very delicate. In the eyes of outsiders, their brothers are harmonious and intimate, but in the dark, it is a little unknown and intriguing.
This marriage between Southern Chu and Great Qi was first proposed by Emperor Wen of Chu to Great Qi.
After fierce debates in the court, in the end, the object of this marriage also fell on Su Li, the sixth prince of Daqi, and Sun Xiyue, the daughter of Prince Nan Chukang and the lord of Ankang County.
Although Prince Kang sternly rejected the matter, he argued on the basis of reason. But his forces are all in the army, and in the court, these civil officials are all confidants of Emperor Wen of Chu, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree to the matter. But because of this incident, a stinger was buried deep in his heart.
Although in the end of the court discussion, Prince Kang agreed to marry Daqi. But Prince Kang put forward an extremely difficult condition.
According to what he said, now that he is old, he is reluctant to marry his only beloved daughter far away, and must ask the six princes of Daqi to come to Nanchu to marry his beloved daughter. Otherwise, he would not agree to the marriage anyway.
Emperor Chu Wen saw that Prince Kang, who was holding back, had made the biggest concession, and he was also a little worried that he would really die in the net, so he could only nod his head first.
The matter of marriage still needs to be discussed with Emperor Jingde of Great Qi before making a decision.
originally thought that this marriage would be frozen here from now on, and finally it would not be resolved. Everyone no longer had any hope for it.
However, the result was often unexpected, and Emperor Jingde of Great Qi agreed to this matter regardless of Daqi's face.
Su Li, the sixth prince of Daqi, "married" Nanchu far away and got married, and Daqi and Nanchu have been married forever.
Such a marriage method also completely shocked the whole world and confused the whole world, and everyone couldn't figure out what Emperor Jingdedi was thinking.
Among them were Emperor Wen of Chu, Prince Kang, and even Su Li himself.
What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?
This is the ins and outs of the marriage between Daqi and Southern Chu.
Su Li, he is just a tool, and he is also the kind of tool that is discarded.
And with the same fate, there is also the wife who has never met Su Li, Sun Xiyue, the lord of Ankang County of Southern Chu.
"Xiaoluo, what do you think the Lord of Ankang will look like?"
Su Li grabbed the reins of the horse in his hand and asked Xiaoluo beside him.
"This ......"
"I don't know."
Xiaoluo scratched his head, looking confused. How could he have known, he had not seen it.
"Hey, that's ......"
Su Li also felt funny, how could he ask such a stupid question. Even he himself had never seen this fiancée, let alone Xiaoluo.
"Whether her appearance is beautiful or ugly, I don't want to be extravagant, I hope her temper is not too bad, it's okay."
Su Li shook his head lightly and thought so.
In the south of Lin'an City, there is a 100-meter peak, which looks at the West Lake in the north and the riverside in the south. The shape of the mountain resembles a phoenix flying in the sky, hence the name Phoenix Mountain.
The imperial palace of Southern Chu was built at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
The magnificent palaces are continuous, starting from Fengshan Gate in the east, reaching the west foot of Phoenix Mountain in the west, starting from Tiaobroom Bay in the south, reaching Wansongling in the north, occupying a circle of nearly ten miles. There are three city gates in the interior, the south is called Lizheng, the north is Hening, and the east is called Donghua.
At 10 o'clock at noon, the sun shines directly down on the glazed tiles above the eaves of the palace, and it will glow with dazzling and brilliant golden light, reflecting in all directions. Bathing in it, you can feel awe for a moment.
Prince Kang's Mansion is not very far from the palace, which shows that Prince Kang's status in Nanchu is really extraordinary.
Su Li looked at the five gates of the palace in front of him, as well as the powerful guards guarding here at the gate, and he was a little distracted.
"Xiaoluo."
"Go and call the door."
Su Li, who came back to his senses, spoke lightly and instructed Xiaoluo.
"Yes, Childe."
Xiaoluo responded. Roll over and dismount, and walk forward.
"Please also say goodbye, the six princes of Daqi have come to meet Prince Kang."
Walking to the guard at the door, Xiao Luo said to him.
"Please wait a while, the villain will go to Tongyu."
The guard took a cautious look at Su Li out of the corner of his eye, and then immediately turned away.
The corner door next to it slowly opened, and a sturdy middle-aged man came out from inside, he was dressed in clothes, and the materials were very luxurious. This should be the steward of the palace.
"Sun Xing, I've seen the Sixth Highness."
The middle-aged man walked up to Su Li and bowed, neither humble nor arrogant.
"No courtesy."
"Prince Kang is in the mansion at this moment?"
Su Li did not dismount, he sat on the back of the horse and asked the steward Sun Xing.
"Lord Wang, he is still in the army at the moment, not in the house."
"Your Royal Highness Six, why don't you enter the mansion first to rest for a while, and then visit the prince when he returns from the army?"
Steward Sun Xing looked at Su Li and made a suggestion to him.
"That's fine."
Su Li thought for a while, then nodded and agreed. I'm afraid that if he doesn't enter this palace, he really has nowhere to go. Although this Lin'an City is very large, he has no relatives.
"Sixth Highness, please."
The steward Sun Xing saw Su Li nodding in agreement, so he stretched out his hand and asked Su Li to go first.
Su Li turned over and dismounted, handed over the horse to the palace guard beside him, and took Xiaoluo to walk towards the main gate of the confined palace.
"Your Highness Six, please come here."
Seeing Su Li and the others walking towards the main gate of the palace, the steward Sun Xing frowned slightly. However, in an instant, it returned to normal. With a smile on his face, he pointed to Su Li as he pointed to the corner gate next to the main entrance.
"Isn't it worth going through the front door?"
"Huh."
"It seems that my identity as the sixth prince of Daqi is really a bit unworthy whether it is in Daqi or Nanchu."
looked at the main gate of the palace, which was still confined, and the smiling steward Sun Xing in front of him. Su Li did not show any dissatisfaction, he smiled slightly, and followed the steward Sun Xing into Prince Kang's mansion from the corner gate next to the main entrance.
In the front hall, the plaque of the famous inscription hangs in the middle, carved with the gold-inlaid courtyard pillar of the Rui beast, and the Taishi chair made of Hainan Huanghuali. In every place, there is a thousand kinds of luxury and atmosphere.
Wherever Su Li's eyes passed, he was also secretly amazed in his heart.
"Xiaoluo."
"You stay here and wait, I'll go and walk around."
After drinking a few rounds of tea, Su Li was a little irritable while waiting, and said to Xiao Luo, who was standing behind him.
"Yes, Childe."
Xiaoluo nodded in response and did not ask to go with him. Although he was a little bored waiting at the moment, he knew how to measure. Although Childe has never treated him as a subordinate, he can't leave Childe's face outside.
"Sixth Highness, please take care of yourself."
The steward Sun Xing did not stop Su Li, since he wanted to walk around, then it was up to him to go, no matter how he said it, he was also a guest, and he was not an ordinary guest, the host was a guest.
The palace covers a huge area, with countless pavilions and pavilions. Su Li was also here for the first time, and he didn't know exactly where he wanted to go, so he could only wander around aimlessly.
Ahead, you can see a green color, all kinds of rare trees, exotic flowers and plants, and the scenery is very beautiful. The faint floral fragrance comes to the nose and refreshes the heart. Come to think of it, this should be the garden in the palace.
Su Li held the petals he had just picked in the corner of his mouth, and walked leisurely among the flowers and trees.
Suddenly, he froze and stopped, his gaze drawn to a pink shadow.
Pink shadows danced among the flowers, and around her, there were several colorful butterflies flying around her.
Although it is only a glimpse of a shadow, this extremely beautiful dance is enough to amaze and fascinate people.
Although Su was a little curious, he didn't come forward to disturb.
Who is this woman?
