Chapter 46: Marriage
In the first month of the fourth year of Jinglong, Li Nunu, the princess of Jincheng, married Tubo, and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty ordered Yang Ju, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to personally escort her. Early in the morning of this day, Tao Yao finished dressing up in the Lanyue Palace, and just waited for the auspicious time to go to Tongtian Palace to say goodbye to Li Xian and Wei.
Accustomed to not applying powder, when she saw her carefully painted appearance in the bronze mirror, Tao Yao couldn't help but be taken aback. The sideburns are high, the pearl hangs down the forehead, and the person in the mirror is still a young jade, and the eyebrows and eyes have shown a desolate meaning. Tao Yao smiled, lowered her eyes and didn't take a second look. The person in the mirror at this time is her but not her. All pretensions are just tools to please outsiders, even she is included in them, what is the point of looking at it or not?
It's Hongfu, who can't help but blush when she looks at her little master. Such a slender and slender woman, dressed in a bright red wedding dress and sitting elegantly, the already fair complexion is clearly reflected, almost with a flawless texture of deceiving frost and snow, coupled with the finely carved facial features, it is really fresh and bright, graceful and abnormal, and it is the most colorful one in the peony garden. And such a beautiful appearance, originally should have stayed in the prosperous era of Chang'an, but now it has grown up, slim and elegant, but when it comes out of the pavilion, it is also far away from the homeland of relatives...... With such a gap, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, I'm afraid he can't help but feel sad, right?
"Your Royal Highness, you look exceptionally beautiful today." Shangguan Wan'er, who came to help early in the morning, was also amazed: "I think that if Tubo Zampu sees you, he will also be directly blinded." As long as you can capture his heart, you will be able to live a much better life in Tibet in the future. Although most of the people present were confidants, the end of the second half of her sentence was still very low, and almost only Tao Yao could hear it. She came here at the behest of Li Xian, and there are some things that Wei Hou can't expect to say, then only she can come forward.
Knowing that what she said was the heartfelt words of the same woman, Tao Yao did not show the slightest disdain, on the contrary, she smiled and nodded, showing that she had listened. As for what will be done, no one knows.
"Your Highness has always been smart about ice and snow, no matter where you go, you will never be wronged." Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er added with a light smile: "Your Majesty also knows you as a person, and I am very relieved of you." ”
So, is she helping Li Xian spread the word in disguise? Tao Yao's heart sank, but there was no patience to deal with it on her face. Fortunately, the hour was approaching, and several ceremonial grandmothers rushed in, while doing the last time for her to tidy up her clothes, and hugged her towards Tongtian Palace.
The emperor and queen of the Tang Dynasty, civil and military officials have already gathered here, just waiting for the princess to drink the last glass of water and wine in her homeland and send her away. Tao Yao's steps were gentle, her demeanor was all directions, her thin back was straight, and she walked slowly step by step, but her complexion did not change a bit.
"She is worthy of being a girl valued by her mother, and she is still dignified and dignified at this time, but I am gone." Princess Taiping hid in the corner, looking at the girl in the center of the hall who was walking through the ceremonial process, her eyes flashed with surprise and regret one after another: "If I say that I am too selfish, I don't do my best to protect her." How come you have watched her grow up since she was a child, and you can actually miss this pearl in the sea? ”
"Shi is also fate, maybe after all, my Gaofu doesn't have this blessing, so I can't keep her." A deep man's voice sounded slowly, and the pathos between the lines was almost as good as substance. The middle-aged man in a military general's court dress stroked his beautiful hair, staring at the beautiful woman in a fiery wedding dress, his eyes were full of pain: "I just didn't expect that Huai Jin couldn't even see this last side. I'm afraid that I will leave a defect in this life and this life. ”
"Whatever time and number of days and numbers are just some false talk." Snorted coldly, Princess Taiping's words to him were full of contempt: "What you men ask for is the family and the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, the If Gao Xianzhi has any shortcomings, he deserves it! Using a woman's marriage to extinguish the fire of war on one side, do you still think it is particularly worthwhile? Can you really find a moment of peace in your hearts because of this? ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you ......" I didn't expect Princess Taiping to be so out of shape, Gao Sheji was stunned for a while. Fortunately, the former recovered quickly, and almost as soon as he finished the ridicule, he put on a casual smile again: "Okay, the ceremony is over, then this girl should leave the palace and leave Beijing, I can't bear to look at it anymore, so I will go home first." After saying that, she didn't wait for the high house chicken to react, got up and walked away.
Gao Sheji sighed, looked at Princess Taiping who seemed to be a little embarrassed, but shook her head helplessly. Although Princess Taiping's words just now were as sharp as a knife, cutting his flesh and flesh painfully, and the words were bloody, he could still see that this woman was actually an extremely typical knife-mouthed tofu heart. Moreover, if she doesn't leave, I'm afraid she will cry in public. He had just stood at her side, taking in any of her expressions, and he had seen her eyes full of tears.
And as Princess Taiping said, at this time, the farewell ceremony in Tongtian Palace has come to an end. The ministers are on the orders of Li Xian, making a sincere farewell poem to their princess, and Li Xian himself is extremely rare to show his love and reluctance to Taoyao, while sighing that the princess is still young, while pulling the sleeve of the Tibetan envoy Shang Zanlu, we wept again and again, and I didn't know that he was married to his own daughter. As for Tao Yao, who is the person concerned, she is more calm and indifferent than everyone else, she just stands there with a light smile, watching everyone perform in front of her with great interest. And she, from beginning to end, is motionless in the eight winds, as if she is silently mocking with a pair of eyes that can see through the world.
Gao She Ji shivered coldly, he had never seen such a peach Yao. It seems like yesterday since the last time we met, but the bright and lively delicate girl in my memory is no longer there. Like Li Shouli, he watched all Taoyao's hopes and illusions being stifled, and he never relented, never wavered, and never reached out to help. Or rather, they are the culprits who ruined that beauty.
Everything now is just the final proof that you can't go back.
