Chapter 70: Hardship
The sedan chair stopped five or six feet in front of Xue Zhao.
Xue Zhao knelt on one knee.
"Brush!"
The feather forest army behind him knelt on one knee one after another, the sound was earth-shattering, and it was full of a high-spirited attitude today.
The people of Chang'an along the way all bowed down and kowtowed with sincerity.
Only General Guanying, as a veteran of the two dynasties, has the qualifications given to him by His Majesty, and he just clenches his fists and salutes.
"Meet Her Highness the Princess!"
This voice was neat and impassioned, and at this moment, it reverberated through the sky.
How similar is this situation and the scene when he was in Northern Xinjiang, when the three thousand Yuejia visited Her Royal Highness the little princess of Southern Wu?
"Get up, you are all returning from fighting for the country, and this palace doesn't dare to be." Li Xiyun's voice is melodious, although it is a little elegant, but it has a very special atmosphere, and it also spreads far away.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie!"
Xue Zhao lowered his head slightly, raised it again, and stood with his eyes level ahead.
He does respect Li Xiyun very much, but he will still maintain his style, which is also the reason why many people like him and think he is the best.
Li Xiyun naturally wouldn't use the name of specially coming to greet Xue Zhao, but everyone knew it.
General Guanying glanced at Xue Zhao, who was looking ahead beside him, and the strange meaning in his smile became stronger and stronger.
Xue Zhao was a little hairy in his heart, but he didn't show anything.
A large number of returned Yulin troops and the people along the way all uncontrollably showed joy, like beautiful flowers, like water flowing years, which is the artistic conception that people like very much.
"General Guanying, you are old, this time in the Tang Dynasty is in a crisis, you have no hesitation to ask Ying to fight, it is indispensable, and it is also moving, you are a veteran of the two dynasties, your father is noble, even if you have a heart, it is inconvenient to show something, and several imperial brothers are also busy and can't get away, so only the palace comes out to greet you to express your gratitude to the pillars of the country, I hope not to blame." Inside the sedan chair, Li Xiyun's voice came again.
General Guanying lowered his head slightly, and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess came out to greet her in person, how can you be old?" I don't dare to be it, but now that I am getting older, I am no longer as brave as I used to be, and I can only do my part a little, which is a little ashamed. ”
Li Xiyun let out a chuckle, of course, that kind of chuckle is very warm, which makes people's hearts slightly warm:
"The old general is really joking, you have fought in the north and south, and have made countless meritorious contributions, the body of the daughter of this palace, can not make contributions to the country, if you really have the kind of psychology like the old general said, don't you know what to do?"
General Guanying also laughed: "Her Royal Highness the princess also worries a lot about the Tang Dynasty and has done a lot of things, this is very clear to the people of the Tang Dynasty, since Her Royal Highness the princess is so kind to give those honors, the old man accepts it shamelessly." ”
No matter how much he says, it's just politeness, the matter is already there, no matter how humble General Guanying is, it still exists, whether he accepts it or not, no one will have any different opinions about him.
And everyone knows that outside today's Chang'an City, these are not the focus, and the focus is hidden in the meaningful gaze of people.
Li Xiyun was obviously silent for a moment, of course, that silence was not noticed because of everyone's joy.
"Xue Zhao, you maintain the safety of the palace, you are conscientious, and at the moment when the enemy is now, you will not hesitate to go to the frontier, and you have worked hard."
Great work.
She said.
There was no affection in her words, but they were so complicated that she probably didn't understand what was hidden in them.
Xue Zhao is a very good man, and he can even really be said to be the best man in the entire young generation of the Northern Tang Dynasty, this is undeniable.
People think that she is Xue Zhao's, it can't be someone else's, maybe objectively speaking, that's right.
Other than that, it was a worldly opinion, and she herself didn't think so at the moment, and after that night, she felt that she was getting farther and farther away from what people expected.
That night, there was Guan Kuo and Xue Zhao, one was the captain of the horse who was given marriage, and the other was the captain of the horse that everyone fancied, but it was not the captain of the horse that she recognized in her heart.
In the final analysis, it is she who gets married, but it has always been someone else who chooses her object, which is her sorrow and the shamelessness of others.
Since it is her business to be happy or not, then what qualifications do others have to feel happy for her, and not care about her own feelings?
Maybe it's really like what Li Zenan and Li Xianyue said to her before today: In the world, how many people fall in love at first sight and then love each other, and most people don't gradually fall in love, and then fall in love with each other? There may be a white-headed husband and wife in it, but it does not necessarily have an unforgettable love from beginning to end.
It's just that for the time being, she wasn't sure if she wanted to agree with that opinion, and then she just hastily followed other people's opinions.
She was young, and she had experienced an absurd night of candles in the cave house, and for a long time, she didn't want to experience it again.
People's hearts are complicated, no one can correctly identify the other party's thoughts based on the other party's words, Xue Zhao felt a certain evasion in Li Xiyun's words, but he couldn't hear the other party's true feelings about himself on that matter.
He didn't care much about these, he just needed to know that he liked Li Xiyun, just like the thousands of young men in the Northern Tang Dynasty and Southern Wu. The most important thing is to be firm in his heart first, whether he likes Li Xiyun or not, it has nothing to do with whether Li Xiyun likes him or not.
Xiao Yao and the others were a little disappointed when they heard Li Xiyun's words that seemed polite and didn't make much sense, but the accuracy of her speculation about Li Xiyun's shoes before, those thoughts in her heart became more and more real.
This can still be regarded as Li Xiyun's shyness and dare not express her emotions, and after all, she is a princess of a country, so she can't be too obvious to make people laugh.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you have also worked hard." After pondering for a moment, Xue Zhao spoke.
His words were a little inexplicable, Xiao Yao glanced at him with some blame, thinking to himself Could it be that men are all wood? The princess of your own family has a golden body, and it is inconvenient to express, and you, as a big man, are also inconvenient to express?
But Xue Zhao believed that Li Xiyun could understand.
What he said was not the kind of hard work on the surface, they had all experienced that marriage, and then that night, Guan Kuo's heart was painful, so was he Xue Zhao, and Li Xiyun was even more.
