Chapter 22: Heading North (3)
The first person she saw was not Tuoba Hong, but King Wu.
King Wu did not ride a horse. He was slightly taller than the crown prince, wearing a thin armor, holding the sword in his hand and saluting in front of Lin Yuan.
"Lady Princess?" He smiled, and two newly grown tiger teeth showed a sharp point from the corner of his mouth: "Erchen heard that you are coming, and specially prepared a banquet." ”
Lin Yuan looked at him fixedly. The child was only ten years old, about the age of the crown prince. His cheeks were covered with dust, much thinner than he had been in the palace a few months ago, and his face was tanned.
Because it's just that King Wu is not the East Palace, Tuoba Jue is notoriously good-tempered in the palace.
The child who grew up in the palace, even in the face of the enemy who killed his mother, he must be calm and polite and smile.
"King Wu has a heart." Lin Yuan said: "That's it, the big enemy is now, and the palace doesn't dare to be greedy for pleasure." She said and took out a small red paper bag from her sleeve: "King Wu, the matter of the Ye family, this palace is also very sad." ”
The retinue beside King Wu took it over on his behalf. King Wu hung his head silently and reached out to untie the paper bag, which contained a string of agate.
It was found on the body of Ye Xiuxin's burned corpse.
King Wu held the agate beads and wept in front of the generals. Lin Yuan sighed and comforted him: "You are the prince of Great Qin, I hope you don't feel sad because of this, the enemy army on the front line is what you should consider." ”
King Wu cried for a long time, and it was Lin Yuan who sent him back to the mansion.
At this time, the emperor still did not return.
The news of Concubine Lin Yuan's northward journey had already spread, and Tuoba Hong had already instructed someone to arrange a place for her to live. Of course, in this kind of ghost place, how can food and accommodation be compared with the palace. It's just a small quadrangle house, with dirt roads in front of the courtyard gate, not even a corridor, and a red tile main house plus a circle of side rooms.
Jingbian City is the territory of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu people here have been driven to the south of the city. The Qin soldiers were crowded into the house, and tents were set up if they couldn't squeeze in, and several official compounds were requisitioned as residences for the emperor and generals.
Lin Yuan naturally didn't dare to find fault with the house.
There was only one palace maid who followed her, Chu Xue, and the entourage next to her, even if it was a maid, all had martial arts. Two mediocre-looking and solemn-looking women swept the room and served her freshen up and eat.
Lin Yuanqiang swallowed a bite of celery cake and gritted his teeth so much that it hurt. If it was put in her previous life, this little thing would not be difficult for her, and it was common to eat instant noodles overtime. However, she has been a favorite concubine for more than ten years now, bathing with rose fragrance every day, and every meal she eats is from the hands of chefs in the world......
I've been spoiled for a long time.
It's really painful.
She once again lamented that it was not easy to be an emperor. Tuoba Hong is a prince who grew up in the palace, he not only has to eat and live with the soldiers, but also has to fight hard with real knives and guns.
Therefore, not everyone can get the merit of war. In order to seize the prince who went to the battlefield, that crime was not suffered by people.
She had eaten the bread and ordered the two expressionless maids to stand down.
"First snow." She beckoned: "King Wu, this kid...... What do you think? ”
Chu Xue was silent for a long time, shook her head and said, "As Niang Niang said, she is still a child. ”
King Wu is not mature enough. So in the face of Lin Yuan, in the face of many concubines and princes in the court, he only achieved the simplest forbearance. He learned to hide his emotions, but apparently did not learn to control the emotions of others.
If you change it to a fan jade...... After seeing Concubine Shu on the battlefield of Beisai, she will not just smile and salute, she will do more things.
Such as temptation, such as provocation.
"You're right." Lin Yuan's eyes burst out: "So we can conclude that Ye Xiuxin is still alive!" Moreover, she is near Jingbian City, or even in the city! ”
When she handed Ye Xiuxin's relics to King Wu, King Wu's reaction was to cry loudly, ignoring the fact that his subordinate generals were around.
Such a reaction is too ...... Overdone.
If the Ye family really died, and King Wu buried a sea of blood and hatred in his heart, he couldn't vent his hatred by crying so simply. The more hatred you have, the more you should hide it in your heart and wait for an opportunity to take revenge, instead of crying in front of the enemy!
There is only one reason why King Wu cried bitterly, that is, the Ye family is still alive, and King Wu thought that Lin Yuan had never seen through it, so he also made a look like his mother had died to deceive Lin Yuan. His methods were too immature, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to deceive him, so he acted very hard.
This "hard work", he showed his stuffing.
Lin Yuan didn't think about it anymore. She was exhausted from running all the way, and soon blew out the candles and went to sleep.
"The emperor won't have time to see me these days. But tomorrow, Concubine Zhen will come to see me according to the number of courtesies. She instructed Chu Xue: "Prepare the gifts we brought from the capital." ”
Concubine Zhen lived in the emperor's mansion.
She arrived a month earlier than Lin Yuan, and it was natural for her to follow the emperor to serve. However, Lin Yuan intervened, and in a hurry, there was no empty room on the emperor's side.
Lin Yuan was not dissatisfied with this. Concubine Zhen is not only the imperial concubine who is loved by Tuoba Hong, but she also holds the soldiers and horses of Tubo in her hands. Her value is completely different from herself.
Just after dawn on the second day, Concubine Zhen came to see Lin Yuan early.
Unlike King Wu, Concubine Zhen and her daughter stayed in the side for many days, and her appearance and posture were the same as before. But think about it, she is a woman from the bitter cold land of Tibet, with a deep complexion that can withstand wind and frost, and she has practiced martial arts since she was a child. It is very different from the pampered noblewomen in the court of the Qin State.
She was wearing a navy blue Luo skirt, no fat powder, and three thousand green silk were firmly tied at the back of her head with a hairband and curled into a flat bun, and she didn't need a hairpin. She stepped forward and saluted, "Concubine Niangniang has worked hard all the way. The battle has been difficult these days, and the emperor is very anxious, it is better to have your mother by your side......"
Lin Yuan laughed lightly: "These days, thanks to Concubine Zhen serving the emperor, this palace still wants to thank you." ”
Concubine Zhen humbly said that she did not dare, and presented several boxes of gifts with both hands, which were jasper and rare jewels in the Central Plains in the border cities of the Xiongnu. "I heard that Niangniang likes five-color bright jewelry the most, the Xiongnu is not a big country rich in gemstones, but these treasures are extremely colorful ......" She smiled: "Niangniang, do you like it?" ”
The attendants behind him opened the boxes and placed them on the kang table. Lin Yuan looked up at her, slightly surprised in her heart.
I thought that Yun Dan would go north with the emperor, and the honor of being the princess and the honor of enjoying the emperor's favor alone could make her more proud.
But quite the opposite...... Yun Dan treats the most taboo even more respectfully than before.
Lin Yuan shook her fingers, the situation was not as bad as she imagined. The emperor must be biased towards the East Palace in his heart, and Yun Dan does not dare to act rashly!
"It's the obsidian of the Jifeng crater, and the turquoise, the mango beads...... Concubine Zhen has a heart. Lin Yuan glanced at the box, raised his hand and instructed the maid behind him to give Yun Dan the large and small objects brought from the capital.
It's just Biluochun, milk grapes, salmon sauce and the like, which are commonplace in the palace, but they are the most expensive luxuries here. Chu Xue led the palace people to present the things, and clapped her hands three times, and the first armed inner eunuch outside the house led several eunuchs who looked equally martial into the house and kowtowed.
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's okay to eat, these inner eunuchs are all escorted by the palace along the way, and ordinary assassins can't help them." In this war-torn place, we women have to raise a few more such people. ”
Yun Dan took the tea cup offered by the palace people and sat down quietly. Her eyes stopped for a long time on several inner prisoners, and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu is really considerate." ”
I only hated and gritted my teeth in my heart, her position was worthy of Concubine Shu, but she had to be pressed by her. Now that the emperor is only the two of them, these trivial matters in the back house are naturally decided by Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu believes that she is the biological mother of the prince, and there is no one in her eyes, and it is blatant to insert people around her, and it is not taboo at all!
Is the armed internal supervisor raised by the West Factory? It's ridiculous. She is accompanied by tens of thousands of Tibetan warriors, does she still need the warriors of the Qin State to escort her?
Naturally, she would never dare to contradict Concubine Shu. Suppressing her feelings, she calmly accepted people, and raised her head to talk to Lin Yuan about the war in Jingbian City.
Speaking of Jingbian City, she seems to have infinite vitality. She said a lot, her face was full of joy, and her beautiful amber eyes widened: "Niangniang, don't you know, the sweaty horses we captured from the Huns run as fast as the wind!" Since the emperor sat in Beisai, the Huns were killed several times, and the morale of the Qin army was high, and it will be shameful in a few days! There is also the Zongwu Glacier, the scenery of that mountain is so beautiful, the emperor led the troops to the prison county, that year the emperor led me to climb to the top of the mountain, when the north wind blew...... For the first time, I knew what it meant to be ...... splendid country."
She said with pleasure, her bun swaying, the gold leaves tied to the hairband clashing with a crisp sound, and her cheeks flushed with pleasure. Lin Yuan looked a little stunned, such an unusual, brilliant beauty, fascinating woman.
She suddenly felt empty. How should a woman live her life?
Moths fight fires and burn lives, and the path Yundan chooses is completely different from his own. And yet she got real joy.
A moment later, a sergeant came to give an order, saying that the emperor had led the troops back to the city, and summoned the two imperial concubines.
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, she couldn't imagine that Tuoba Hong would have time to see her so soon.
A wall hurriedly changed clothes.
This is not in the palace, when Lin Yuan left the palace, he left all the Su embroidered Yunjin and pearl and jade ornaments in the Yuzhao Palace, and it was obviously not appropriate to take care of the grooming and dressing up in the place where the war was fought. She put on a small jacket at random, put a silver hairpin on her bun, and went out with Concubine Zhen with her face to the sky.
After more than a year, she met her husband again, the supreme emperor of the Great Qin State.
Today's wind and sand outside are worse than yesterday, but fortunately it is summer, and it is not so cold that people shiver. Lin Yuan came all the way, and her head and face were covered with a layer of ash.
However, Takubahiro didn't mind. He waved his hand and ordered the two generals beside him to retreat, strode over and hugged Lin Yuan tightly in his arms.
The man's chest became wider, and his hands were powerful.
Lin Yuan was suffocated for a moment.
