Xiuyun Pavilion and Su Fangzhai were not far away, Gu Qingyi thought of Mrs. Li, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and decided to stop by to visit.

As soon as she stepped into the threshold of Xiuyun Pavilion, the shopkeeper Xu behind the counter found out, and hurriedly said to the guests who were greeting, and walked over quickly to say goodbye, "The slave has seen the prince and the princess." ”

"Shopkeeper Xu doesn't have to be polite." Gu Qingyi helped her slightly, "I'm here to see Mrs. Li, I don't know if she is on duty today?" ”

"Yes." Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly replied, asked the servant maid in the hall to call someone, and began to praise Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Li is talented, diligent and studious, and stays in the embroidery building every day to learn embroidery with Mrs. Mo, and now she has learned a little bit of the essence." ”

Although I don't know how much moisture there is in the words of the shopkeeper Xu, Gu Qingyi is always happy when she hears that her former friend is growing day by day, so she said with a smile, "Mrs. Li is introverted by nature, and I bother you to take care of her." ”

Shopkeeper Xu didn't dare to say anything, at this moment, the guest who was just greeting Shopkeeper Xu came up to greet her, and when she looked up, Gu Qingyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "What a coincidence, it turned out to be Mrs. Zhang." ”

Yes, this person is the wife of Li Niangzi's ex-husband Zhang Jingwen, and Zhao Ningqi, the daughter of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhao Ningqi's face was a little unsightly, and he smiled reluctantly, "It's all because the courtiers have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and they offended the princess, so please ask the princess to be magnanimous and spare the courtiers' unintentional mistakes." ”

King Qin suddenly spoke, "How did you offend this princess?" ”

Zhao Ningqi was frightened by King Qin's cold face, and he couldn't even speak clearly, Gu Qingyi didn't want King Qin to ask more, so he disguised himself, "The matter has passed, and the concubine body doesn't care anymore." ”

She naturally didn't care, because she was angry on the spot.

Because of her concealment, King Qin became more and more curious, and the almighty guard Feng Ming immediately appeared and explained his master's confusion in time, "The princess Niangniang and Li Niangzi went down the mountain to sell embroidery, and met Zhang Jingwen and Mrs. Zhang in the Splendid Pavilion, and the two sides had a dispute. Then ......" Feng Ming glanced at the princess, saw that she was staring at him, her voice was slightly paused, and she quickly looked away, and continued to say expressionlessly, "Then the princess picked up the hanger and swollen Zhang Hanlin's hand. ”

Shopkeeper Xu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and looked at the soft and weak Princess Qin in disbelief, obviously not expecting that the princess, who looked graceful and dignified, also had such a brave spirit.

The only one who is not surprised is King Qin, after all, he knows that his princess has a history of fighting with the nuns of Taohuanuan, and it is not uncommon to beat another Hanlin. It's just that she has recently restrained her temperament, being docile and soft, almost making him forget the blood hidden deep in her bones.

No, maybe not, hasn't his princess always challenged his patience? In today's world, except for her, I am afraid that no one else dares to disobey him.

King Qin had a strange feeling in his heart, and even looked at Gu Qingyi with a different gaze than before, "There was a rumor in the previous dynasty that Zhang Hanlin missed his father's invitation due to injury, and he has always regretted it, it turned out that it was because of the princess. ”

Is this teasing her?

Gu Qingyi looked at King Qin in disbelief, trying to see the traces of ridicule on his face, but his whole body was full of coldness, and he really didn't look like he could tease people.

She had no choice but to pretend that she hadn't heard anything, and instead said to Zhao Ningqi, "I only found out about this today, because I was reckless, and asked Mrs. Zhang to apologize to Zhang Hanlin on my behalf and forgive me for my unintentional mistakes." ”

Zhao Ningqi naturally didn't dare to blame her, endured the grievances in his stomach, and smiled hypocritically, "Originally, it was the courtiers and Lang Jun who were at fault first, and they didn't dare to be disagreeable with the princess." ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Gu Qingyi smiled slightly, "Since Mrs. Zhang is customizing clothes in Xiuyun Pavilion, she will let Shopkeeper Xu eliminate the cost, which should be a little bit of my heart." ”

The clothes and embroidery produced by Xiuyun Pavilion are precious and abnormal, although Zhao Ningqi is the daughter of Shangshu, but after marrying Zhang Jingwen, she lived a very poor life, this time she still took out a sum of money from the dowry silver to customize clothes, and the huge cost made her feel distressed. ”

It is rumored that Xiuyun Pavilion is the property of King Qin, and now that I look at it, it really lives up to its name.

At this time, Mrs. Li was also brought up by the slave maid, and she smiled as soon as she saw Gu Qingyi, "Princess Niangniang, I was supposed to visit the mansion, why bother you to come and see me in person." ”

Gu Qingyi held her hands to stop her from bowing, and glanced at her with disgust, "Why should you be polite between you and me." The prince took me to the street, just to stop by to see you. ”

Only then did Li Niangzi notice King Qin and Zhao Ningqi on the side, her face was a little delicate, after she gave King Qin a salute, her eyes fell on Zhao Ningqi, and she couldn't move away anymore.

Zhao Ningqi was both embarrassed and uneasy, she expected that Gu Qingyi would become the high-ranking princess of Qin, and she would also make friends with Li Xiulan, who was from a low background. She was afraid that Li Xiulan would bully others, so she hurriedly said goodbye, "Princess Niangniang, there is still an urgent matter at the courtier's house, so I had to retire first." ”

Gu Qingyi couldn't make it difficult for her, nodded her head, and Zhao Ningqi left in a hurry. Mrs. Li smiled bitterly, "Let the princess see the joke." ”

It has been difficult to understand since ancient times, only the parties want to open it, and it is useless for others to say anything. Gu Qingyi knew that Li Niangzi still had a knot, so she patted her hand, which was supposed to be comforting.

The two of them only talked for a while, and then they heard a commotion outside, and Qiu Yan knocked on the excitement and came in to say, "Princess Niangniang, it is the Hun envoy who has entered Beijing." ”

Gu Qingyi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and unconsciously looked at King Qin, who seemed to see through her doubts and nodded, "The envoy has only arrived in the capital until now because of the delay. ”

He has been staying in the mansion for half a month, and he even knows the news of the Xiongnu envoys.

This idea just flashed in her mind, before hearing Li Junru, the daughter of the squire of the Ministry of War, say that the Xiongnu princess would be close to Da Zhou, she was curious, so she went to the door with Li Niangzi to watch the excitement.

The pomp and circumstance of the Hun envoys entering Beijing was not small, the streets were full of lively people, Xiuyun Pavilion had its own small guards, seeing her come out and quickly disperse the people blocking the door, Gu Qingyi was able to see the honor guard of the Hun envoys entering Beijing.

There were about a dozen strong Huns riding horses in front, and behind them were six or seven vehicles full of rare treasures, each flanked by Hun soldiers. They were dressed very differently from those of the Central Plains, wearing narrow-sleeved and tight-fitting clothing, daggers pinned to their riding boots and waists, and all kinds of animal bones on their chests, full of fierce and rugged atmosphere. They have vigorous hair, most of their faces have thick beards, their eyebrow bones are high, their eye sockets are deep, and their facial features are rough and three-dimensional, especially the color of their pupils, which are light brown in the sun.

It is said that the Huns are fierce and warlike, and it can be seen from these guards.

"Princess Niangniang, is the Xiongnu princess sitting in the carriage in the middle?" Mrs. Li asked curiously.

Gu Qingyi's eyes also fell on the carriage in the middle, different from the structure of other carriages, this carriage was open on all sides, leaving only a pink veil to cover it, and there was a graceful woman sitting in it, according to rumors, it should be the Xiongnu princess who was sent to kiss.

Perhaps hearing the shouts on the street, the Xiongnu princess suddenly lifted the curtain and looked outside, causing a burst of exclamations for a while, and Li Niangzi couldn't help but exclaim, "She, her eyes are turquoise!" ”

Mrs. Li is still calm, and other ordinary people are already shouting monsters.

Gu Qingyi couldn't help but shake her head, "There is no need to be afraid, the appearance of the Huns is different from that of the Central Plains, this Hun princess is of royal blood, blonde hair and blue eyes, it is normal." ”

"Really?" Li Niangzi was still frightened, but when she saw Gu Qingyi's calmness, she gradually calmed down, "It turns out that the Hun royal family looks like this, it's weird and terrifying." ”

In fact, the Xiongnu princess was quite an exotic beauty.

She didn't quite have royal blood, her hair was dark brown, stacked high on top of each other, and her head was adorned with gemstone agate. Her complexion was as white as milk, her eyebrows and eyes were three-dimensional and deep, and her turquoise pupils shimmered like glass in the sun, like a lazy cat. Her clothes are not like the skirts of the Central Plains, but the upper skirts and skirts, the upper body exposes most of the crisp breasts, the lower abdomen is also half exposed, the draped tassels are half covered and half hidden, and the navel inlaid with beads is exposed with the swaying of the carriage and horse, which is hot and tempting. She was sitting on her knees, her red and green contrasting ribbon tied around her waist, and her luxurious and bright skirt was full of style.

Many people have restrained the fear in their hearts, staring directly at the beauty of the incense car, especially the man, who has already shown coveted and ugly eyes.

Gu Qingyi subconsciously looked at King Qin, who came to her side at some point, and saw that he was also looking at the Xiongnu princess, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A burst of exclamations broke out in the crowd, Gu Qingyi raised her eyes, but saw that the Xiongnu princess looked at her at some point, her eyes were charming, and her already delicate face became more and more attractive, like a seductive kraken.

She looked at the object of seduction, if there was no accident, it should be King Qin.

Gu Qingyi's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Does the prince know the Xiongnu princess?" ”

King Qin snorted lightly, "I've met on the battlefield before. ”

The battlefield.

Could it be that the Hun princess could also go to the battlefield?

Gu Qingyi suddenly remembered her ambition when she was a child, she had wanted to practice martial arts with her father, and in the future, she could go into battle to kill the enemy like her father and her grandfather and uncles who had died on the battlefield, but her grandmother and father did not feel relieved when they found out, but locked her in the ancestral hall and starved for a day, and since then, she no longer dared to say that she wanted to practice martial arts and go to the battlefield.

Until one day, his father was drunk and knelt in front of his grandmother who wanted him to marry him, "Mother, my son is not filial, and the Yan family is going to break the inheritance when it comes to the son's generation." ”

Up and down the Wu'an Hou Mansion, there are only two people, Yan Shunhua and Yan Shunying.

It was still Yan Shunhua's who hid in the corner, watching her grandmother wipe the tears from the corners of her father's eyes with her wrinkled hands, and her voice was unprecedentedly old, "If you don't give birth, the Yan family has been loyal for generations, how can you raise a cowardly and incompetent person?" Rather than let my grandson go to the fate of your death on the battlefield, it is better not to come to this experience and suffer in vain. ”

The father cried and fell to his knees, "My son is guilty." ”

It was only at this time that she finally understood the good intentions of her grandmother and father, the Yan family had already died too many people, and she didn't need to be stubborn and bloody on the battlefield again.

"What is the princess thinking?"

Gu Qingyi suddenly came back to her senses, only to find that the Hun guard of honor had gone away, and the people who had gathered in vain were talking about it, and the king of Qin was thoughtful, and he didn't know how long he had been watching her.

Gu Qingyi smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing." I'm a little tired, let's go home. ”

"You don't have to think about it."

King Qin said something inexplicably, Gu Qingyi didn't understand what he meant, but he also nodded to indicate that he knew, and when he got into the carriage, he closed his eyes and rested, but he missed his father and grandmother endlessly.

There is no time to recognize each other in this life.

It hurts my heart.
