Chapter 32: Princess Changle (in a good mood)
Xiao Lian stole the limelight this time, but Xiao Zilun was not annoyed, and looked at He Jingying with a smile and nodded: "The princess hasn't seen you for a long time." β
He Jingying only saw Xiao Zilun when she married Xiao Zhaoye, and then Xiao Zilun went to the fiefdom. I didn't expect to see him for a few years, but he was already so handsome.
The car behind them, the curtain gently opened. A pair of clear eyes fell on He Jingying and Xiao Lian, and they lit up instantly.
"Stop!" Yuan Geyu shouted in the car.
Xiao Lian and Xiao Zilun turned around one after another. Seeing that Yuan Geyu lifted the curtain, she jumped out of the car gently and skillfully, and ran in front of Xiao Zilun in a few steps, her round apple face was full of joy. Yuan Geyu pointed at He Jingying and said, "This sister can ride a horse, so do I!" β
Xiao Zilun smiled gently: "Okay." Then he stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Gefei.
Yuan Geyu grew up on horseback since she was a child, so she didn't need Xiao Zilun to lead her, so she jumped on the horse and rode with Xiao Zilun.
The crowd around erupted in applause, "Good! β
Yuan Geyu raised her face and said with a smile: "Sister, my name is Yuan Geyu." You must be Sister A-Ying, right, Brother Dharma Body has been talking about you all the way. They say that I am the first beauty of the Northern Dynasty, and I think I am a little worse than you. β
The royal family of the Northern Dynasty was surnamed Tuoba. The current emperor, Tuoba Hong, strongly promoted Han culture in the Northern Dynasties, and made the entire imperial family change their Han surname. "Yuan" is the surname of the royal family of the current Northern Dynasty. In the Northern Dynasty, this little princess still called herself Tuoba Gefei, and when she arrived in the Southern Qi Dynasty, she followed the customs of the countryside and used the Han surname.
Although by generation, Xiao Zilun is Xiao Zhaoye's thirteenth uncle. As Xiao Zilun's fiancΓ©e, Xiao Lian should call her a little aunt. But Yuan Geyu didn't care about these rules of the Southern Dynasties, and shouted one brother and sister at a time.
I didn't expect this first beauty in the Northern Dynasty to have this temperament. He Jingying likes it very much.
He Jingying looked at Xiao Zilun and teased: "Yunzong, it seems that you must be very satisfied with this fiancΓ©e of yours." β
Xiao Zilun smiled gently: "That's nature." β
Yuan Geyu's face turned red: "How can my sister make fun of me." β
Yuan Geyu said to Xiao Zilun again: "Yunzong, this car is going too slowly. Shall we run to Miyagi before anyone? β
Xiao Zilun looked at Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian smiled: "But no horse can be faster than my little white dragon." β
After saying that, the two of them shouted, and the two rode away in the dust, leaving behind a blank guard of honor convoy and a hundred officials with black lines.
In the imperial city, the emperor and Fan Guifei waited under the sun for a long time. Fan Guifei has been fighting for a long time, and her instep is like crawling ants, itching uncomfortably.
That's how it is on this occasion. According to etiquette, since the honor guard entered the city, the emperor and Fan Guifei had to wait in front of the palace. Southern Qi prides itself on being a state of etiquette, and it is the princess of the Northern Dynasty who welcomes it, so etiquette is naturally indispensable.
Fan Guifei looked up at the sky, it was only the time of the two pillars of incense, and with the speed of the honor guard, there was not an hour that could not enter the imperial city.
It was the sigh that the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. Fan Guifei's eyes lit up, and she saw two horses and four people rushing in front of them like this.
Wenchen like Wang Rong is the most important etiquette, seeing this situation and this scene is a mouthful of phlegm stuck in the throat, I don't know how to greet him, I can only barely pull out a smile, it is very ugly.
Only Fan Guifei, whose smile is comparable to the spring flowers in March.
The crown prince Xiao Changmao, who was standing behind the emperor, saw Xiao Lian and He Jingying's appearance, and his pale and sickly face was so angry that Yin Tang turned black. Xiao Changmao's face was pale, but because the emperor was here after all, it was not good to have a seizure, so he could only barely squeeze out four words from between his teeth: "What kind of system." β
He Jingying was in a fog all the way, and when she came here, she saw Xiao Changmao's expression, and she sighed in her heart. It's not just a decorum thing.
However, no matter how weird the expressions of the people around him, Yuan Geyu was unaware of it, jumped off the horse happily, and looked up at Xiao Zilun.
Xiao Lian also jumped off the horse and hugged He Jingying. He Jingying was dressed in men's clothes, and under the scorching gaze of everyone, she couldn't wait to make a hole and get in.
Xiao Lian didn't care so much, and stepped forward with He Jingying: "Sun Erchen see the emperor." β
Martial Emperor Xiao Zhen let out a "hmm", and he couldn't see any expression. He Jingying was even more flustered.
Xiao Lian said: "Sun Erchen went to the Northern Dynasty this time and brought back three hundred war horses, which will be sent to the capital in a few days. β
Xiao Zhen nodded: "You have made a meritorious contribution to the Northern Dynasty this time, and you should be rewarded." Yun Zong also has merit. The princess came to Daqi for the first time, and she couldn't be rude, you had to entertain her. Your wedding will be in charge of Concubine Fan and He Yin, and they will pay tribute on an auspicious day. β
Xiao Zilun: "Thank you, father." β
Xiao Zhen: "You're tired all the way, let's go back and rest first." β
He Yin stepped forward and looked at He Jingying gently, then turned his head to Yuan Geyu and said, "Princess, you have been resting in the post house for the time being. Wechen has been arranged. β
Seeing that the emperor did not criticize Xiao Zhaoye, the officials were all dissatisfied in their hearts. But ushering in the princess of the Northern Dynasty was originally a happy event. No matter how unhappy the officials were, they didn't dare to openly come forward to impeach. Whoever has water in their brain will touch the mold at this time.
All the officials shook their heads and dispersed. When the prince walked by Xiao Lian's side, he also tried his best to restrain himself, so he didn't beat Xiao Lian on the spot.
He Jingying stood beside Xiao Lian, and the cold sweat was about to come down. Xiao Lian squeezed He Jingying's hand and grimaced.
At this time, he is still so open-minded, and only a person with few roots like Xiao Lian can do it.
Since the ministers dispersed, the emperor also walked back to the palace with an expressionless face. Fan Guifei walked behind the emperor step by step, and when she saw that there was no one around, she poked the emperor: "No one." β
The emperor looked at Fan Guifei solemnly: "What's the nobody?" β
Fan Guifei looked at the emperor silently. The two looked at each other for a long time, and the emperor seemed to look around casually, and actually laughed: "Have you seen the expressions of the hundred officials just now?" β
Fan Guifei also smiled: "I think they are all about to suffocate to death." β
The emperor: "I just wanted to laugh, I really couldn't bear it so much that my stomach hurt." β
Fan Guifei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't think that the Dharma Body is rude." β
The emperor waved his hand: "Young people should look like young people." Do you expect a group of old old-fashioned people to take back the Northern Dynasty? Those people are also bored all day long. Or I'm thinking about how to get more rewards from me. is such a group of people, who only have fame and fortune in their eyes, how can they govern the people well? I want to fight the world with Taizu at the beginning, how can there be so much red tape, but everyone is working together, it was really good at that time. If that spirit can be maintained forever, why worry about not being able to govern the world, and why not recovering the lost land in the north? β
Fan Guifei: "Then don't you blame the Dharma Body for being too stubborn?" β
Emperor: "Stubborn? Do you want to be like those old men at a young age? What's more, the three hundred war horses brought back by the Dharma Body in the Northern Dynasty are exactly what my Great Qi lacks now. Even if there is a fault, the merit is greater than the fault. In the past, I always felt that the Dharma Body was too dull and always unhappy, but recently it has changed quite a lot. β
Fan Guifei: "I heard that the Dharma Body encountered danger on the way to the Northern Dynasty and almost lost his life. β
The emperor frowned and nodded: "I only found out after the fact. Fortunately, the Dharma Body is fine, otherwise it would ......"
Fan Guifei: "Since you are a person who has been through the ghost gate, it is normal for you to see through some things in the world, and there are some changes." Ah Ying originally had a lively personality, and the Dharma Body loved Ah Ying so much, so he must have suppressed a lot of his temperament before. β
The Emperor: "Well, that's right. Now I can let it go, but it's better. β
