Chapter 45: The Eyes of the East
The next day, at the third pole of the sun, Yulian was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by a series of knocks on the door.
Listening carefully, it was the voice of the East, so he ignored it, turned over and went back to sleep.
"Princess, we're going to eat big crabs, are you going?" Dongfang couldn't wake up the princess, so he had to use the temptation of food.
"What, big crab, go, I'm going." As soon as Yulian thought of the big crab, her saliva flowed out, and there was still sleepiness there, so she immediately turned over and got up.
Doctor Mo dutifully went to see the old general again early in the morning.
Dongfang looked at the sleepy-eyed princess, shook his head with a smile and said, "Princess, apart from wanting to eat crabs, do you have any other plans?" ”
"Do you still need to plan, it's hard to get out of a trip, and the task is completed, of course, it's to travel everywhere, eat, drink and have fun!" Yulian replied without thinking about it.
"Heroes see the same thing." Dongfang gave a thumbs up in agreement.
Buxiao said that in the next half a month, Dongfang and Yulian traveled together, looking for delicious food and beautiful scenery everywhere, and the two of them had a great time and ate with a great appetite.
Dongfang is used to being at ease outside, and he can find exactly where it is fun and delicious.
And what about Yulian? Wherever it is fun, she can drill wherever it is fun, especially when she bumps into the lakes and mountains, and the garden scenery, she can spend the whole day.
Then when you are tired, you can find a good place to eat, let go and eat, and eat a lot of food.
Dongfang used to only know that the princess was smart and versatile, but he didn't expect her to be so bold, just like a child of the rivers and lakes, walking the rivers and lakes, free and easy, chic and uninhibited, sophisticated and steady, and at ease......
No, there is a day
Yulian, Dongfang, General Lu came to the bottom of the most lively Dongshi overpass.
"Wow! The little girl is amazing! ”
"Niu, at a young age, the swordsmanship is so exquisite!"
They were attracted by the bursts of cheers, and squeezed into the crowd of people watching the excitement on the outer three floors and the inner three floors.
At this time, in the center of the circle, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, wearing a cloth dress and holding a long sword, dancing with a sword.
Her wrists flipped over, trembled, pointed, and stabbed, sword flowers flew, her steps were elegant, and between the sword shadows, her face did not change, and her posture was calm and indifferent.
After the sword was finished, the blade was downward, and after saluting the onlookers with fists, he silently did not say a word, and went to rest, and an old man next to him picked up a basin and asked the onlookers for money.
Yulian saw that she was not very old, but she was quiet and introverted, and she was good at swordsmanship, so she admired her heart, so she asked Dongfang to take a large chunk of silver and throw it into the basin.
"Bang dang." The silver smashed into the basin and made a loud noise, and was seen by the young man next to him, and said contemptuously: "Flower fist embroidered legs, but Er'er." ”
"The little girl's swordsmanship is good, the son should not be underestimated!" Yulian took the young man's words leisurely.
"What's the big deal, isn't it just a sword dance, it's just good-looking, if you really meet a master, you can't pass three moves." The man said sarcastically.
"Otherwise, please try two tricks with her?" Yulian couldn't help it and spoke defiantly.
"How can she deserve to fight with me, a cheap girl who sells her art, hum!"
When Yulian heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to the man, blocked his way, and said in a low voice: "What are you like, dare to speak evil words." ”
The little girl sat aside, and when she saw Yulian arguing, she didn't say a word, but still wiped her sword indifferently.
The young man had an arrogant face and a high-minded look, but when he saw Yulian blocking his way, he was about to get angry.
He caught a glimpse of Yulian's expensive clothes again, and Dongfang and General Lu were guarding her side, knowing that Yulian was not an ordinary person, her expression immediately changed, so he avoided Yulian's fierce eyes and prepared to slip away from the side.
"Stop, let you see what a fist embroidered leg is." Dongfang stretched out his hand and blocked the man's path.
After saying that, he glanced at General Lu, and General Lu immediately jumped into the arena, hugged his fists and said, "Please advise the girl." ”
The girl didn't say a word, stood up, walked slowly into the middle of the field, and returned the salute with her fists.
After returning the salute, you are not welcome, the long sword "swished", and stabbed at General Lu quickly and ruthlessly, General Lu raised his sword to block, and the two swords collided, making a crisp and pleasant "jingling" sound.
I saw that the two of them were swords-to-sword, flashing and moving, a sword move was agile and sharp, and the move was as fast as lightning; One is as stable as Mount Tai, the sword comes to block, and does not take the initiative to attack, so one attack and one defense, Rao is twenty moves, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, and it can be a tie.
Yulian has been fantasizing since she was sensible, and if she was in ancient times, she would definitely be a generation of chivalrous women who practiced martial arts since she was a child and galloped the rivers and lakes.
Seeing that the girl's swordsmanship was so exquisite, even General Lu couldn't help her for a while, and couldn't help but admire her so much that he couldn't stop cheering loudly with excitement.
The onlookers even clapped their hands and praised, and the applause came and went, and the sound spread three miles away.
At this time, the young man before, looking at the girl's sword momentum, the sword moves are wonderful, one move is better than the other, it is clear that he is a real swordsmanship master, just imagine that if he makes a move with her, the three moves will be defeated, not only is his face blue with fright, cold sweat is rising, while Dongfang and Yulian are not paying attention, he slowly withdrew from the crowd, turned around and slipped away.
At this time, the girl and General Lu had already passed more than fifty moves, and they were still in the midst of sword exchanges, and they still did not know whether they won or lost.
"Forget it, both of them are masters, and the masters have made moves, so let's stop at the point." Yulian suddenly shouted loudly to the two people in the field.
General Lu heard the princess's shout, and immediately put away the sword, but the woman was a little late to put away the sword, and the sword stopped on General Lu's chest.
The girl, who had been indifferent until this time, seemed to have a smile on her face, and after saluting General Lu with a fist, she turned around and walked to the corner and sat down.
When the onlookers saw such wonderful swordsmanship, they generously donated money and threw a lot of broken silver into the basin.
Yulian wanted to talk to the girl, but seeing that her expression was too indifferent, she gave up after thinking about it, and dispersed with the crowd with Dongfang.
"General Lu, you can be regarded as a person who has sold art on the street." Dongfang teased General Lu, and then looked at Yulian out of the corner of his eye.
After these days of getting along day and night, Dongfang's eyes when he looked at Yulian gradually underwent subtle changes.
Because, he was completely fascinated by Yulian's chivalrous demeanor.
In the past, Dongfang only admired the princess and regarded her as a friend, and knew that Emperor Xuanyuan had affection for the princess, so he conjured them in many ways.
But he never imagined that one day, his appreciation for the princess would change and he would become deeply in love with her.
But he was soberly aware that the princess was Emperor Xuanyuan's woman, and she was the woman he loved deeply, and he was not crazy enough to dare to have such thoughts.
In the world, there are countless women, but what I like is the emperor's woman, crazy...... The East is distressed!
Xuanyuan Palace, inside the palace.
Chun Meiren retreated left and right, chatting with her mother's brother Xia Hou Suhe.
"Sister, how could you conceive that traitor's flesh and blood, and hide it for so long without telling us, have you forgotten the real purpose of entering the palace?"
Xia Hou Suhe looked around at no one, and asked Chun Meiren in a low voice and extremely grimly.
"Brother, the child is innocent, pregnant, how can I bear to ...... him Besides, if I give birth to a prince and help him ascend to the throne in every possible way, won't this country also be our Xia Hou family in the future? Chun Meiren cautiously and cautiously tested her brother.
"Nonsense, the prince doesn't have the blood of his Xuanyuan family, and the Great Hua Kingdom only belongs to us with the surname Xia Hou." Xia Hou Suhe said viciously.
"And, don't forget, who is it? He drove our people into the wild and barren land, where they had no fixed place to live, and who had endured the hardships of wind, frost, rain and snow all the year round, and who had to bow their heads all year round and bow their heads to obey him. Seeing his sister hesitating, he gritted his teeth and reached out fiercely to slap it on the table.
This sentence seemed to speak to the sore spot of Chun Meiren, and she lamented: "Brother, don't worry, I just want to borrow this child to gain his greater trust, so that we can find what we want as soon as possible."
"Also, in two months, when our affairs have progressed, I will definitely not keep him." Chun Meiren touched her bulging belly with her hands, and her eyes were full of murder.
"It's good that my sister understands, don't move your true feelings and kill yourself." Xia Hou Suhe had a gloomy face, dropped this sentence, got up and left.
Chun Meiren breathed a sigh of relief, stroked the fetus in her womb again, and closed her eyes tightly, no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
Inside the Xuanyuan Palace.
"How long have they been in the East?" Xuanyuan Xuanling fidgeted and asked the general pipe.
"It's been a month." The Grand Steward remembers it clearly.
"Repair the book to him, and as soon as the old general's illness is cured, he will return to the dynasty immediately."
Although it had only been a month, Xuanyuan Xuanling felt that it had been too long.
In the past, I often didn't see Princess "Qinglian", but I knew that she lived comfortably in the palace and in the Lonely Garden, so I didn't worry about her.
All of a sudden, she was no longer in the palace, Xuanyuan Xuanling only felt that her heart was empty, it could really be said that she hadn't seen her for a day, like every three autumns.
No, I immediately repaired the book to urge it.
"Slowly, just say that the queen misses the East and urge him to return quickly." Xuanyuan Xuanling thought about it for a while, and then ordered the general manager.
Empty Sang Country, inside the post house.
Dongfang is reading the emperor's letter: "Dongfang, you have been going for more than a month, if the virus of the old general has been eliminated, you can return quickly, the queen misses you very much." ”
This last sentence is really trying to cover up! Obviously, the emperor misses the princess, so it's hard to say it clearly, but he wants to pull out the queen as a shield.
If it was in the past, Dongfang would definitely laugh, and he would keep slandering Emperor Xuanyuan.
However, this time is different from the past, and Dongfang can't laugh.
Because as long as he thought that after returning to Dahuaguo, it would be impossible for him to go in and out of the princess again, let alone meet her often, and there would be many taboos.
Dongfang pounded his head in distress and asked himself what was wrong, couldn't he treat the princess as a friend and a confidant who had nothing to talk about, and face her calmly as before?
However, it seems that it is really impossible, and there is no going back to the past.
Once he has this level of admiration for the princess, he can look at Yulian at any time, and there are countless little stars shining in his eyes.
Dongfang was thinking about it, Yulian walked in and said to him mysteriously: "Dongfang, guess who I brought back!" ”
"Oh, who is it?" Dongfang tried to raise his interest, and asked rhetorically with a feigned surprise.
