Chapter 80: Seeing Off
Within one day, Ma Gang and Ma Cheng father and son left Qingcheng one after another, causing a lot of waves. Not only were there suspicions among the officials, but the common people also began to talk about it, and they all felt that something big must have happened in the Great Fertile Plain.
However, speculation is speculation, the imperial court did not say anything, and everything was carried out according to the original plan many days ago. The canonization ceremony of the eldest princess is scheduled for ten days later, and many masters selected by the Zhongzhou test have also received official positions and are about to go to Tianzhifang. And Helan Qin is also leaving Qingcheng and returning to his hometown in Yunzhou.
Meng Ning entered the palace early in the morning, and now he is one of the deputy commanders of the Great Interior, mainly responsible for the inspection of the Purple Cloud Hall and several affiliated palaces around the eldest princess. He Lai wants to go out to see Helan Qin off today, he is responsible for her safety outside the palace.
He Lai had already dressed up with the cooperation of the four palace maids, the bean blue silk robe, the silver thread added to the fabric, reflected a little brilliance in the sunlight as the master walked. I don't know how much hair oil was used for my hair, and the high bun on the top of my head was complicated and entangled, and it was not messy.
Seeing Meng Ning waiting by the carriage, He Lai's expression stiffened for a moment, and a very stylized smile floated, which made people feel like a spring breeze, but also did not appear too enthusiastic. This kind of smile is the basic skill of the golden branches and jade leaves, and it is obvious that he has not been able to use it perfectly.
"Senior brother, I've worked hard."
He Lai was helped into the carriage by the wrist, sat down and said.
"Celestial princess is polite, this is the duty of a minister." Meng Ning said that there was no obstacle at all, and signaled that his subordinates could go.
Finally sat in the car, no one stared at her from front to back, left and right, He Lai could relax after a morning of shelf, and immediately lowered his shoulders and complained: "Senior brother, being a princess is more tiring than being a disciple of Tianze Academy!" ”
Meng Ning rode a horse and followed the side of the carriage, keeping a distance of two or three feet from the window. "It's good that you're familiar with the rules of the palace."
He pouted, afraid that she would go out before that day. In just three or two days, some people have already revealed their intention to marry her.
"Helan Qin is too boring, what can I do if I leave after the canonization ceremony, what are you doing in a hurry?"
Meng Ning: "Something happened to Dawoyuan in the north, and the Helan border borders the territory of the Ma tribe in many places, so they have to do something to deal with the accidents." ”
"Oh." How to stop messing around. Helan Qin can leave, anyway, he can't eat in his mouth, so it's better to get away. "What about my sister, she wants to stay in Qingcheng, these two people are thousands of miles apart, it's not good." Long-distance relationships mostly don't end well.
Meng Ning: "If it can be completely cut off, it will be a good thing for the two of them." ”
It's this kind of argument again, and it's a little annoying to listen to it.
In the past two days, Wang Jun held a family banquet, and all the brothers and sisters were present, which was regarded as her meeting at her own house. He Lai is the oldest, and there are four or five younger siblings who are a few months younger than her, or even one or two years old, which shows that Wang Jun was very busy in the first two years of his succession.
These princes and princesses of similar age had to call her "imperial sister" under the pressure of the emperor, and they saluted respectfully, but they all looked disappreciative and even a little inexplicably hostile behind them. Those younger ones were more direct, and directly asked her if she had read a certain poetry collection, whether she could arrange flowers and tea, and whether she knew whether she knew musical instruments.
Wang Jun's face froze, and he was not too harsh on these young children, so he took this note on their mother. She waited for them to finish speaking, and smiled at their tender little faces in the style of an eldest sister: "These sisters can't do it, my sister can only beat people, and I've been learning for many years." I don't believe you go back and ask your mother, my sister is amazing. ”
Within a night, Holai's reputation for being barbaric and unfriendly spread. When Meng Ning heard the news the next day, he knew that the deep palace was not easy, and the rumors could withstand the wind and frost sword, so when the commander arranged a position for him and asked him where he wanted to go, he chose the closest place to where he came from.
He Lai also pressed the mind of bringing the brothers in.
Ying Xuan chose to see off the willow pavilion in Wuli outside the city, and the fast horse sent the wine and food prepared by the restaurant in the city over, and the food box was still warm when he opened it.
Helan Qin's men and horses gathered on the side of the road, but there were only a few hundred people, and their clothes were not completely uniform, but they gave people a very orderly feeling. Because there were more than a dozen carriages in it, that feeling was weakened, but a person with a vicious eye like Ying Xuan could see at a glance the difference from ordinary teams. It's a look, and everyone is calm and calm.
This is not easy, people who practice martial arts often give people the impression of being flamboyant and exposed. Only when you practice to a certain extent will you slowly converge and settle down.
There were only two people in the pavilion, and Meng Ning and He Lai were still on the way. Helan Qin fanned the fan, and it was hard for him to finally tie up his waist-length hair, although it was a little less elegant, but it seemed a lot neater to Yingqiu.
"You go first, and I'll be able to catch up soon." Eagle smirked.
Helan Qin was too particular, and he also brought a small stove for drinking tea with him, Alu squatted outside and fanned the fan, and the small kettle on it finally faintly saw a little white mist.
Helan Qin: "Go out of the city before dark, and see you again tomorrow morning." ”
"That's not good, I'm a new official, and I haven't established my authority yet."
"This can't be done, your stand-in can be replaced." Helan Qin smiled, "These little things are insignificant, what you need to think about is to follow me and not be noticed by anyone." ”
Yingxuan: "I really want to go to the border between the Helan clan and the horse clan, but I didn't say that I must be on the same road with you." ”
"No, you have to come with me."
"I know the way."
"Prevent you from taking this opportunity to explore the situation in my Helan hinterland. I will be a villain once, and carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”
Ying Sui couldn't help but laugh: "Although all ethnic groups are wary of each other and are strictly forbidden to set foot in other people's territory, but you and I both know that this ban is no different from a piece of paper to you and me, when did you take it so seriously?" ”
Helan Qin: "When you need to use it, take it out and use it." ”
In other words, if he wanted Ying Xuan to go with him at this time, he took it out to restrain her.
Ah Lu was accustomed to seeing his master's "unreasonableness", and when he saw the princess's car from afar, he hurriedly said: "Childe, Eagle Leader, the eldest princess and Meng Tong have arrived." ”
The two looked over, He Lai's carriage quickly approached, He Lai, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked much more stable, pulled up the skirt with one hand, put the other hand on the arm of the palace maid, and the head step that was driven by each step shook as its name suggested.
Ying Xuan opened his mouth slightly, and Shibei was impressed for three days, and sure enough!
In fact, He Lai's performance is not good, and it is even a little ridiculous in the eyes of other nobles, but her original appearance is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this change is very considerable!
He Lai smiled and looked up: "I'm sorry to be late, I thought there would be a lot of people to see me off, so I thought about dressing up decently, if I had known that there were only a few of us......"
The palace maid suddenly raised her head: "The eldest princess is cautious, no matter what the occasion, you must be dignified, talk decently, and don't ......"
He Lai's face tilted and he rolled his eyes. Suddenly let go of her arms, picked up her skirt in both hands and ran away.
This sudden change is incomprehensible to others, but Ying Xuan and He Lanqin are very calm, which is right.
He Lai: "I've put up with you for a few days, and if you tremble again, you will walk back to the palace by yourself!" ”
