Chapter 33: Yunxiao Temple-7
Qi Wangshu looked at everyone expressionlessly, Liang Bo was frightened and led the princess to the flower hall, and said respectfully: "Please also ask the princess to wait in the flower hall for a while, and the old slave will immediately send someone to the barracks to ask the general to come back." ”
The princess was not an ordinary guest, and Liang Boke couldn't make up his mind, so he had to send someone to report to the general.
"Isn't your young lady here?" Qi Wangshu sat on the upper seat and shook his legs, playing with a small teacup in his hand.
Liang Bo hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Miss went to Yunxiao Temple to pray for blessings with the eldest lady of Lord Qin Shilang's family at noon today. I'm afraid I'll have to stay overnight before I get back. ”
Qi Wangshu nodded, looked at the teacup in his hand and muttered for a moment, and said, "Then please prepare a guest room for this princess, I will stay in the General's Mansion tonight." ”
What's wrong with this, the eldest princess of the dignified Heavenly Dynasty stayed overnight in the mansion of a courtier, what kind of system can this become!
Uncle Liang didn't dare to make the decision directly, so he had to say with a smiling face: "The general will return to the house soon, and ask the princess to wait." ”
Qi Wangshu knew that he couldn't be the master of this matter, and he no longer made things difficult for him.
She didn't speak again, only played with the teacup in her hand seriously, her fingers clenched a little harder, and her strength was so strong that she wanted to crush the teacup.
She's so angry!
At present, there is a treacherous situation in the imperial court in the Celestial Empire, and the court situation is chaotic. Outside, Da Liang, a sworn enemy who had not been dealt with for many years, disturbed the border, and not only that, but Nanxuanguo also combined with other small countries to attack the southern part of the Celestial Empire in one fell swoop, forcing the emperor of the Celestial Empire to marry his daughter and relatives.
In the past, the emperor was physically strong, but he had the energy to deal with them. But now is an eventful autumn, the emperor is old and frail, and he is seriously ill, it is not easy to insist on the court every day, and the two princes under his knees are still privately fighting for the position of the prince, and most of the courtiers in the court are even more ghostly.
So when Nan Xuanguo proposed the matter of peace again, the emperor did not immediately refuse, but asked Concubine Mei to ask Princess Shu's opinion.
Somehow, after she heard the news, she angrily rejected her mother, and then took a small sedan chair out of the palace to the general's mansion.
Princess Wangshu was delicate and willful, and the guards guarding the door did not dare to stop her, so she had to hurry up to report to Concubine Mei, but Concubine Mei knew why she was angry, but it was not easy to investigate, so she only sent more people to protect her secretly.
Liang Bo bowed and waited on the side, looking at the princess's expressionless face, his heart was always hanging, and the princess didn't say much about the purpose of this trip, which taught him to tremble.
"Weichen Liang Liang is lonely to see the princess." A majestic figure walked into the flower hall, and Liang Bo's tears were about to flow out, and he hurriedly walked towards Liang Lian.
And Qi Wangshu seemed to be more anxious than Liang Bo, after seeing Liang Lone, she actually got up and ran towards Liang Lone, threw herself into his arms, hugged him, and said, "You are finally here." ”
Liang Xiao and the others were stunned for a moment, he raised his hand and did not move, not daring to touch Qi Wangshu at all.
After a while, Qi Wangshu also felt that he was not suitable for this, so he quickly let go of him, and said while combing the broken hair on his sideburns: "Hmm...... I... I mean, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
As soon as she finished saying this, she was embarrassed, and she didn't dare to look at Liang Lin directly.
Liang Lin looked at Liang Bo with a puzzled look at this time, and Liang Bo also returned the same puzzled gaze.
The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became awkward, and many servants also lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Liang Xiao coughed lightly and said to everyone, "You all go out first." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked out.
At this time, there were only two of them left in the flower hall, and Liang Xiao asked faintly: "Is there something wrong with the princess coming to the minister so late?" ”
"Why did you come home so late?" She asked.
Liang Lin felt strange in his heart, but when the princess asked, he still had to answer truthfully: "Recently, the war on the front line has been tight, and a group of new soldiers have been recruited in the camp, and the army is busy, and the ministers have to ......."
"Aren't you very good at leading troops into battle? Why is it so difficult for you to be so stressed by a tight battle on the front line? Haven't both Da Liang and Nan Xuanguo been defeated by your men! Why don't you bring your troops to annihilate them now, and let me settle the war that your men have provoked for you! Qi Wangshu didn't wait for him to finish, and hysterically vented all his grievances.
She is a royal princess and has the responsibility to solve problems for the country, but she is also a woman who looks forward to her future life, and she never wants her fate to be arranged by others.
Liang Lin was stunned by her series of words, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was Nan Xuanguo who proposed to make peace again, but this time the emperor did not directly refuse, but was considering letting the princess marry far away.
Facing the princess in front of him who seemed to be about to cry, Liang Lin felt uncomfortable.
Now that the emperor is old and sick, other small countries are even more rampant, countless big and small battles broke out on the border of the Celestial Empire, Liang Fengmian and Liang Lin stayed in the military camp for many days, slept in clothes every day and night for the front-line war, and they had to go out in person not long after.
However, when all their soldiers fought bloodily to protect the border, the emperor actually wanted to marry his daughter and sue for peace, which would really greatly frustrate the confidence of the soldiers.
He was silent for a while, and said solemnly to Qi Wangshu: "Princess, please rest assured, as long as Liang Xiao can still lead troops to fight, he will never let the princess marry far away." Tomorrow, I will write to the emperor and persuade the emperor to take back his order. ”
Qi Wangshu glanced at him deeply, in fact, the emperor only had this idea, and he had not yet decided to agree to Nan Xuanguo's harmony. But now with Liang Lone's guarantee, she is no longer worried.
After appeasing the princess, Liang Lin asked someone to send the princess back to the palace.
However, Qi Wangshu was reluctant to go back so early: "I have to go back less than two hours after leaving the palace, let the concubine know...... What a shame..."
She stepped out of Qianning Palace without looking back at that time, regardless of Concubine Mei's persuasion, she said that she would rather stay on the streets of Shangjing than return to the palace, and now she has only been out of the palace for less than two hours and will go back, which will be a little bit of a loss of face.
"But now Huan Qing is not in the house. The mansion is full of men, and the princess's reputation is not good. He hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. I will live in the royal sister-in-law's room. After getting Liang Lian's guarantee, she was in a happy mood, walked straight out of the flower hall, and said to Liang Bo who was waiting outside the door: "Take me to your young lady's room." ”
Liang Bo nodded in response, looked back at Liang Lian, and saw Liang Lian nodding helplessly, so he smiled at Qi Wangshu and said, "Princess, please come with me." ”
After Qi Wangshu left, a retainer asked, "General, do you want to go back to the barracks or stay in the mansion for the time being?" ”
Liang Xiao sat in the flower hall, rubbed the acupuncture points around his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Prepare the horse and go back to the barracks." ”
"Yes!"

In the early morning of the next day, the monks of Yunxiao Temple got up early to ring the bell and chant the Buddha, and bursts of ethereal bells echoed in the mountains, startling a large number of birds in the forest.
Liang Huanqing also woke up in the bell, she rubbed her eyes, and woke up Yuebai, who was sleeping on the side: "Wake up." ”
Yuebai slowed down for a while, looked at the sky outside that revealed the white belly of the fish, and said, "It's only the third watch." ”
Liang Huanqing fumbled out of bed, and said while putting on his shoes: "Get up quickly." ”
Yuebai also got up: "What are you doing so early?" ”
Liang Huanqing stuck out his tongue and said playfully: "Go early to pray for blessings, when it is late, when other pilgrims come, the gods and Buddhas will not be able to hear our blessings." ”
Yuebai smiled and said, "Isn't Miss not believing in this?" ”
Liang Huanqing couldn't tell why, but he knew that this time he came to pray for the marriage with Qi Jingqin, so he became serious.
