Chapter 124: Etiquette
Princess Pingyang looked at him with a smile and spoke slowly:
"Brother, you know that I am a man who cannot sit still, and I like to follow the horses around to fight. I promised you so much today, I thought about it later, I have to ask clearly, if I take her with me when I go out to fight, will you be willing? ”
Yuan Lie listened to the long list of words of the princess, and the second monk was puzzled:
"Sister, when did we meet today? This is the first time we've met today, right? ”
Princess Pingyang was stunned:
"Isn't it that I saw a fake Yuan Lie before?"
The two of them talked about what happened, and Yuan Lie already knew it:
"Sister, I know who's pretending to be me. However, this person seems to have no malicious intent, he really wants to help the county lord of Yong'an. ”
Princess Pingyang laughed:
"Brother, I was happy for you before, thinking that you finally had someone to accept it. But in this way, you have a lot of competitors. Then when I go out, I must take her with me. Put it here, it seems that your little wife can be easily snatched by others. ”
Yuan Lie saw Princess Pingyang teasing him, and smiled bitterly:
"I'm afraid she's not mine anymore. On the way back to pick her up, she had already made it clear to me that we would both break up. ”
"What? I was just thinking that I would be able to drink your boy's wedding wine soon, what the hell is going on? Tell my sister about it. ”
Yuan Lie didn't hide it, and briefly told Princess Pingyang what had happened.
"You? How can you be so reckless? ”
Princess Pingyang was also very angry when she heard this.
"Sister, I don't hide it, I regret it to this day. But it's useless to regret it, she seems to be very afraid of me now, and she may not dare to get close to me in the future. ”
Yuan Lie's voice was low.
"You just make a deal with your sister, do you still want to get her back?"
Yuan Lie listened to the princess's meaning, as if there was a way to help him, his heart was excited, and he raised his head suddenly:
"Of course, sister, is there any way you can help me get her back?"
"I already know what you say. Don't worry, I naturally have a way to reconcile you as before. ”
Early the next morning, Princess Pingyang went to the palace to beg her father to ask her to take the princess back to the princess's mansion to teach.
"Father, are you still in good health recently?"
Princess Pingyang walked up to Li Yuan with a smile and asked softly while gently helping him pinch his shoulder.
"Good daughter has time to come to see me today, your father is well, his arms and legs can move. Are the colts and you alright? ”
"Thanks to my father's love, everything is fine."
The father and daughter happily pulled the parents for a while, and Princess Pingyang saw that the atmosphere was already familiar, so she mentioned the matter of wanting to take Meng Yu to the princess's mansion:
"Father, you also know that my daughter recognized that stupid Yuan Lie as her brother-in-law. He immediately set out to conquer Tuyuhun, and he couldn't rest assured that his sweetheart, but he didn't dare to tell his father, the emperor, so he found me. Father, you see that he is running around on the battlefield for my Tang Dynasty on weekdays, why don't you put his sweetheart there with me and let me teach her etiquette? In this way, it is also good for Yuan Lie to go out in a down-to-earth manner. Father, what do you think of your daughter's proposal? ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he laughed:
"This Yuan Lie, I didn't expect such a long relationship, and I was disobedient for this woman. But what is he worried about putting his little woman in the palace? I'm getting older, will I still rob his woman? ”
When Princess Pingyang heard this, she knew that her meaning had been misinterpreted, so she hurriedly waved her hand and explained:
"Yuan Lie naturally didn't mean that, the important ministers and nobles in the palace walked around, in case the county lord was favored by others and asked his father to marry, wouldn't it be embarrassing for your father at that time? My daughter heard that this county lord was very skilled, and with me, the two of us could still learn from each other on weekdays and kill time. Wouldn't it be a pleasure too? ”
"That's right, you see you've always disliked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Okay, since the daughter speaks in person, how can the father refute your face? Go and ask for someone yourself. ”
"Thank you, father, for making it perfect."
Princess Shi Shiran of Pingyang retired and took her maid to Xuemi Palace to find Meng Yu.
"You're the Lord of Yong'an, right?"
Princess Pingyang looked at the agile girl in front of her with satisfaction, thinking that she was indeed a good match for his reckless brother.
"Meng Yu has seen Princess Pingyang. Meng Yu has heard of the princess's heroic deeds since he was a child, and has always regarded the princess as a model. ”
Meng Yu didn't see a little fat powder between her eyebrows, but she was full of heroism everywhere when she walked, and guessed in her heart that she was the princess of Pingyang that Luo Shen mentioned to her.
Princess Pingyang could recognize herself at a glance when she saw her, and she felt that she fell in love with Meng Yu:
"Really? Then our sisters are really destined. You go and pack up, and come out of the palace with me now. Let's talk while walking, and we should be able to send a general to the town in time. ”
"Princess."
As soon as Meng Yu heard Princess Pingyang mention Yuan Lie, her face was immediately not as happy and bright as before.
Princess Pingyang covered her mouth and smiled, as if she hadn't seen it:
"Let's go, I'm going to see off my brother, you accompany me, okay?"
Meng Yu thought that it would be too boring to refuse, so he nodded and followed the princess towards Hanguang Gate.
Behind her, Zhang Jieyu was pinching the silk handkerchief and staring at Meng Yu viciously, as if by doing so, her eyes could burn two holes in Meng Yu's back.
Meng Yu grimaced at her in his heart:
"Haha, it's too late to splash the bad water in your stomach, right? I'm mad at you! ”
On the Hanguang Gate, many noble ladies have occupied the favorable terrain, and they all gather together to look forward to seeing the general's demeanor.
Meng Yu suddenly remembered the scene where she and Li Fu were waiting for Yuan Lie to appear here last autumn.
It's only been half a year, and the world has changed so much.
"Li Fu has seen Princess Pingyang."
Meng Yu heard a familiar voice coming into her ears, and she quickly raised her head happily. Isn't it Li Fu standing in front of him?
She has obviously lost a lot of weight, and she used to wear a proper skirt, but now she looks a little slumped.
When Princess Pingyang saw her, her face was displeased:
"What are you doing here when you're married? Aren't you afraid of your husband's rebuke? ”
When Li Fu heard this, she looked very aggrieved:
"Princess Pingyang doesn't know anything, and her husband's family doesn't care about me at all. Today, I was too bored to stay at home, so I came out for a walk. Seeing that there were a lot of people here, I came up to join in the fun. Li Fu did not know that the general would go on the expedition today. ”
Princess Pingyang snorted softly with her nose:
"So, for the best."
Meng Yu knew why Princess Pingyang didn't like Li Fu, after all, their family was suspected of wanting to rebel.
She was just about to step forward to the round, but Li Fu had already turned his gaze to her:
"This noble lady is very face-saving?"
Meng Yu hurriedly smiled and said:
"Hello, my name is Meng Yu."
When Li Fu heard this, her face turned pale:
"You are the emperor's own Yong'an county lord?"
Meng Yu nodded vigorously:
"Exactly."
Li Fu carefully looked at Meng Yu for a while:
"It's really beautiful, no wonder he chose you."
Princess Pingyang pulled Meng Yu back behind her:
"Li Fu, General Zhenguo has already hit that end, you better hurry over and take a second look."
Li Fu's face flushed, and she gave a gift to Princess Pingyang:
"Princess, Li Fu retires."
Princess Pingyang Zhao turned her head towards Meng Yu:
"Meng Yu, you accompany me to stand over there, and send my brother off."
Meng Yu responded and helped Princess Pingyang over.
The crowd that had been crowded over there all retreated and knelt down when they saw the princess coming.
Princess Pingyang kindly calmed everyone down, then turned around and stared in the direction where Yuan Lie had come.
"Yuan Lie has been following the horses in the barracks since he was a child. He doesn't like to follow his father, but prefers a colt that is not much younger than his father, you say, funny, right? ”
Princess Pingyang Zhao casually talked to Meng Yu, Meng Yu didn't feel that there was anything interesting in it, but out of politeness, she quickly nodded.
"At the beginning, my father Emperor Jinyang raised troops and defeated the Sui army all the way. The horses are the first to enter the city and break the formation every time. Yuan Lie was only fourteen years old, he was not afraid of anything, and when he killed the enemy, he was like a born calf. Every time, you have to kill the red eyes to stop. Even so, after the battle, his exuberant energy could not be subsided, and he had to find the best wrestler in the barracks to wrestle with him for forty or fifty heels to enjoy it. Therefore, the colt suggested that he go to learn that the sun and the moon were split, so that he could control the momentum in his body. ”
"Oh."
Meng Yu thought about what the princess was doing with her, so she could only echo casually.
After learning this trick, the momentum in his body really stopped a lot, and every time he slashed and killed the enemy, he finally stopped being red-eyed. We thought that from then on, his over-exertion would be cured. It seems that it is because I didn't meet you. ”
The princess looked around and saw that the crowd was far away from her and Meng Yu, so she lowered her voice and said to Meng Yu:
"I know what you're worried about, do you get scared as soon as you get close to him? Believe me, I can cure this disease. Give me another chance for my stupid brother. ”
Meng Yu looked at Yuan Lie who was riding a tall horse from a distance, and Yuan Lie was also looking at her with a frown.
Meng Yu remembered the last time he saw him off here, he used his mouth to make the four words "wait for me to come back" to her, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Princess, me."
"Okay, don't say anything, I won't force you. But my younger brother is not easily attracted to people at all. He pleaded with my father, and you alone are enough in this life. Don't let his recklessness make you completely veto him. Otherwise, if you regret it later, it will be too late. ”
"Princess, I listen to you."
Meng Yu buried his head low, and his voice was buzzing.
When Princess Pingyang heard this, she waved the sleeve of her right hand at Yuan Lie.
Yuan Lie below immediately showed a bright smile, and there seemed to be something in his eyes that was about to overflow.
"Well, he's also passed the gates, and we can go back. Thinking about it, he can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy with peace of mind. ”
Meng Yu helped Princess Pingyang and was about to go down to the city gate, Li Fu walked forward quickly:
"Lord Yong'an, please stay."
Meng Yu looked at her:
"What's the matter? Please speak. ”
"The third day of the next month is my birthday, can the county lord of Yong'an appreciate his face and come to my mansion to attend my birthday banquet?"
Meng Yu looked at Princess Pingyang who was beside her, and asked Li Fu a little incredulously:
"Do you only invite me, not the princess?"
When Li Fu heard this, she was very cramped:
"How dare Li Fu open her mouth to the princess."
Princess Pingyang smiled and patted Meng Yu as she held her hand:
"It's fun for you little girls to be together, so I won't go with you."
Meng Yu smiled back to the princess:
"Princess, you're not much older than us, can you go together? There are many people. ”
Princess Pingyang smiled and shook her head:
"I like quiet, not lively. Meng Yu, go by yourself. ”
When Meng Yu heard this, she didn't force the princess anymore, she turned her head and nodded seriously at Li Fu:
"Li Fu, don't worry, I will definitely arrive on your birthday."
The days in the princess's mansion are much more comfortable than in the palace, and the princess has never oppressed Meng Yu to learn those complicated etiquette.
