Chapter 37: Marriage has been destined since ancient times
At the beginning of March 728, Tang Xuanzong moved to the Shangyang Palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, as usual, and wanted to live here until the beginning of the selection of concubines before returning to Beijing.
During this period, Tang Xuanzong once met Xu Ziyan during a trip out of the palace.
Although Tang Xuanzong only had a one-sided relationship with him, he had been fascinated by Xu Ziyan. However, Tang Xuanzong did not know who this person's surname was, so he had to order someone to follow her to find out her residence and general situation, and a few days later he went to the Assassin's Mansion to meet her again.
After Qiu Pengyun learned about this, he thought it was a godsend. So he asked Tang Xuanzong to wait in the lobby for a while, and he quickly sent someone to inform Xu Ziyan of the matter.
However, after going out, he did not act according to what he said before, but took the opportunity to secretly order someone to summon Xu Yuexiao here, so as to pave the way for what he planned in the future.
Song Wanting learned of such a good thing, and immediately decided to go to the Assassin's Mansion with her. But after all, it was a hasty encounter with today's saints, so the maid in the house hurriedly painted Xu Yuexiao's makeup for nearly half an hour before hurriedly going out, so that she didn't even have time to explain the due etiquette and the general appearance of Tang Xuanzong to Xu Yuexiao. Because of this, some unpleasant things that happened soon after were laid.
At the same time, Tang Xuanzong, who was sitting in the lobby, was bored and decided to go to the back garden of the Assassin's Mansion with his entourage to play.
At this time, it is early spring, and most of the flowers and plants in the garden are still in a budding state. In such an environment, I suddenly feel that everywhere is full of vitality and spring, and there is a special interest.
Just when Tang Xuanzong was immersed in this boundless spring color, Qiu Jisheng, who covered his eyes with a black cloth, suddenly appeared from behind Tang Xuanzong, startling the holy driver.
It turned out that Qiu Yoshisheng was playing a game with Xu Ziyan here. But because Xu Ziyan hid too secretly, Qiu Jisheng came to Tang Xuanzong by mistake, and then collided with him.
In the past, Tang Xuanzong often heard that Qiu Pengyun had such a mentally disabled son, and Tang Xuanzong was also unbearable because of such special reasons, so he repeatedly opened up to Qiu Pengyun. Now it seems that the things he did in the first place were really necessary, because Akiyoshi's misfortune really deserves sympathy. Therefore, even if Qiu Yoshisheng made some unreasonable moves towards Tang Xuanzong, Tang Xuanzong did not condemn him, but just admonished him and let him go back to the house.
At the same time, Xu Ziyan, who was outside the courtyard wall, rushed over when she heard the sound and happened to hear the conversation between several of them in the courtyard.
Xu Ziyan thought to herself, "What, Your Majesty? Isn't it that Tang Xuanzong has moved here? It would be nice if that was the case, but it would be better to ...... than to suffer here all day long."
Just when Xu Ziyan was secretly planning a way to deal with it, Tang Xuanzong's heart felt a little disappointed because of what had just happened.
Just as Tang Xuanzong was about to leave the back garden of the Thorn Mansion, he happened to have a face-to-face with Xu Ziyan, who was about to enter the garden.
Seeing this, Tang Xuanzong thought: "I thought that I would return in vain today, but I didn't want to meet him here unexpectedly, it was really caused by fate!" I don't want to have such a young woman in this world, how can I miss it? You have to find a way to keep it with you, or you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”
I saw Xu Ziyan smile at the two of them to show respect, and then pretended to walk slowly past Tang Xuanzong's side as if nothing happened.
Seeing that Xu Ziyan was about to go away, Tang Xuanzong did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately took the initiative to talk to Xu Ziyan.
Tang Xuanzong obviously knew the name of the person standing in front of him at this time, but he wanted to ask knowingly, he really didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd. And when he learned the name from Xu Ziyan, he praised his name a lot, which was really well-intentioned.
In order to achieve his wish more quickly, he simply revealed his identity directly to Xu Ziyan. After Xu Ziyan heard this, she immediately knelt down respectfully and saluted.
Tang Xuanzong looked at the beautiful and polite Xu Ziyan in front of him, and he was distracted again, so that Xu Ziyan knelt in front of him for a long time and did not see Tang Xuanzong reply. Fortunately, the entourage on the side reminded him in time when he saw this, which saved him from embarrassment.
In the following period of time, Tang Xuanzong and Xu Ziyan chatted quite speculatively.
In this process, Tang Xuanzong was surprised to find that Xu Ziyan was different from ordinary people in terms of temperament and talent. As a woman from an ordinary family, she has been talking with the current saint for a long time, and she can still answer questions calmly and calmly, which really has to be impressive.
Just as Tang Xuanzong was walking and chatting with Xu Ziyan here, Qiu Pengyun also came to the back garden.
Seeing this situation, Qiu Pengyun was taken aback.
He wanted to be clever enough to delay time and wait until Xu Yuexiao came here to make a district, but he didn't expect that the two had already met here.
Originally, Qiu Pengyun wanted to inform Tang Xuanzong that Xu Ziyan was Qiu Jisheng's fiancée in tactful language, and hoped that he would try not to interfere in this matter, but Xu Ziyan took the lead.
In this way, Tang Xuanzong on the side can be said to be very happy. When he told Qiu Pengyun that Xu Ziyan had become his concubine candidate, he hoped that Qiu Pengyun would be able to endure the pain and allow him to enter Beijing on a later date.
Tang Xuanzong seemed to be kind and persuasive on the surface, but in fact, he had already made up his mind to let Xu Ziyan enter the palace. Even though Qiu Pengyun had ten thousand reluctances in his heart, he would never dare to go against Tang Xuanzong's wishes, so he had to silently agree to this matter.
After this incident, Qiu Pengyun realized that Xu Ziyan was not as weak as she seemed on the surface, but could be called extremely deep in the city. In the future, you must act with a few more minds, otherwise you will become as caught off guard as you are now.
Now it seems that Qiu Pengyun can only count on Xu Yuexiao, who has not yet arrived, to redeem his defeat.
I don't want to think that just when Xu Yuexiao was about to arrive at the Assassin's Mansion, Qiu Pengyun unexpectedly received a case caused by a property dispute.
In order to behave well in front of Tang Xuanzong, Qiu Pengyun uncharacteristically immediately accepted the case.
As a result, during the period of time when Qiu Pengyun was out of company again, unexpected things happened again.
It turned out that Tang Xuanzong, as the king of a country, did not have much time to enjoy, and he had just talked with Xu Ziyan for a long time, so time became more and more urgent. Therefore, Tang Xuanzong has no time to wait for the arrival of the so-called Qiu Pengyun righteous daughter Xu Yuexiao at this moment, and he is in a hurry to return to the palace, in fact, Tang Xuanzong does not want to leave, but he has no choice but to leave Xu Ziyan for the time being.
Qiu Pengyun, who was sitting in the lobby at the moment, had no intention of trying the case because he was afraid that there would be another accident in his heart. However, the facts of this case were a bit complicated, and Qiu Pengyun couldn't pull away for a while, which made him feel very disgusted.
On the other hand, Tang Xuanzong, who was in a hurry to return to the palace, had already come to the gate of the Thorn History Mansion accompanied by Xu Ziyan.
Until this time, Tang Xuanzong still stared at Xu Ziyan from time to time, so that he didn't notice that there were several steps under his feet that he had never taken, and as a result, Tang Xuanzong stepped on the air without paying attention and almost fell to the ground because of this.
Fortunately, Xu Ziyan on the side reacted quickly, and then immediately stepped forward to hold her steadily, which prevented the accident in time.
At this moment, the sedan chair that took Xu Yuexiao into the house stopped in front of the two.
When he was young, Xu Yuexiao got off the sedan car.
At the moment when the only sedan curtain covering the sedan chair was slowly lifted, another young woman was able to show in front of her.
However, this beauty is not another beauty, as the so-called gold and jade are ruined outside, everything can not just look at the surface phenomenon, otherwise it will suffer a big loss.
Tang Xuanzong, who was standing on the side, was secretly happy after seeing Xu Yuexiao, thinking to himself, I really gained a lot from coming here this time, and I actually met a peerless woman again.
I saw that Xu Yuexiao's face was cold and abnormal, and there was no smile on his whole face, which made people feel afraid when they saw it.
Her beauty is so different and intriguing, although Xu Yuexiao has always kept a straight face, she still can't hide her unique and cold beauty. She was dressed in pure white clothes all over her body, casual and dignified, simple but enchanting, and a flawless sense of ice and white jade spontaneously emerged.
It can really be said that it seems ruthless but affectionate, like a flower and a jade beauty, and if you find an opportunity to understand it carefully, you may not be able to go with me.
Just when Tang Xuanzong was intoxicated and ecstatic, Xu Yuexiao's next words made him shocked, disappointed, and eye-opening.
After Xu Yuexiao got out of the sedan chair, she saw that Xu Ziyan was supporting Tang Xuanzong on the side, so she stepped forward and sneered at Xu Ziyan.
Because Xu Yuexiao did not know the true identity of Tang Xuanzong at this time, he repeatedly spoke disrespectfully to him. And Tang Xuanzong has never revealed his identity, he wants to see how presumptuous Xu Yuexiao can be.
At this moment, Qiu Pengyun, who hurriedly put the case on a perfunctory basis and decided to retry it at another date, walked out of the house. He saw that Tang Xuanzong had not left yet, so he hurriedly walked over and talked to him.
As soon as Xu Yuexiao heard Qiu Pengyun say that the man in front of him was the current saint, she was stupid, her legs kept shaking, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
At this time, Qiu Pengyun didn't know the seriousness of the problem, and it wasn't until Tang Xuanzong said some inexplicable words to him when he left, that Qiu Pengyun realized that Xu Yuexiao had fallen into a catastrophe.
Qiu Pengyun felt very strange when he heard Tang Xuanzong say this, so he immediately asked Xu Yuexiao about what happened, but Xu Yuexiao almost didn't make Qiu Pengyun angry after telling the truth.
Qiu Pengyun originally expected Xu Yuexiao to bring glory and wealth to himself, but this is good, it's better to say that it falls short, and it is necessary to have a head if it is not good.
In this way, it is possible for Sensei to enter the palace and go to prison.
I wanted to take an opportunistic approach to the sky, and I didn't want to give up all my efforts in chess. Therefore, it is better to keep to one's own position, and do not delusionally expect to get those things that do not belong to you, if you still insist on going your own way and not listening to advice, it will eventually backfire and reap the consequences.
