Chapter 128: Restrictions on Movement
This fat powder team is nominally for the second prince Chu Yue to have fun, commanding a group of women to dance with knives and swords, which is not funny. Emperor Xiliang likes to watch them perform, even if Chu Yue practices them every day, no one cares. After all, a group of weak women can't afford to make any big waves, but they are just grandstanding to please the emperor.
Because of this, Prince Xiliang went to Daling to choose Kabuki, that is the stunning beauty who is really proficient in blowing, playing and singing, but it is not comparable to these vulgar women.
This women's guard, which usually looks like they only pretend to wield swords and swords, is just another form of kabuki, but in fact they have been secretly trained and have hidden their strength, and they are no worse than the men's guards.
It is the secret weapon in Chu Yue's hands to compete for the throne.
Of course, most of them are women's guards who look on the surface, and those who can really enter the core will have to go through layers of selection and long-term investigation, and then they will be trained intensively. Secretly performing various tasks, they will incarnate various identities, scattered in the Xiliang Royal Court, and in a certain signal, they can quickly assemble.
More often than not, they're just showy guards who can embroider their fists and legs for the amusement of men.
Of course, Tuoba Yanling and Zhu'er can't enter such a core organization after two layers of selection, they are just the most ordinary women's guards.
Every day, he just compares some impractical punches and kicks, and then is sent by Chu Yue to the palace or the mansion of dignitaries to perform for fun.
"Miss, can we still take revenge like this?" Zhu'er asked worriedly after the little leader's lecture.
"Do you want to make arrangements for me?" Tuoba Yanling changed into the red armor of the women's guards and asked in a cold voice.
Zhu'er didn't dare to say anything more, and obediently changed into armor. It is said that it is armor, but in fact, it is just imitation armor, but where the iron sheet is used, some sheepskin is used. If it weren't for them, how could these weak women be able to dress, and they would be crushed to death, let alone move.
At dusk, Ning Shang Moming and the others were woken up, and Emperor Xiliang sent an envoy to announce that the banquet had been arranged, and invited them to sit down immediately.
Everyone followed the envoy to the banquet hall, only to see the emperor and empress of Xiliang sitting on the upper seat, dozens of tables of banquets on both sides lined up, and they were all filled with sumptuous delicacies.
As soon as you enter the hall, you can smell the aroma of food, and after days of saddle horse fatigue, plus a good night's sleep, everyone is even more hungry when they smell this fragrance.
"Shangmo participates in His Majesty the Emperor of Xiliang."
"Lightly participate in His Majesty the Emperor Xiliang."
Everyone stepped forward to salute Emperor Xiliang, and Emperor Xiliang laughed: "That's it, you're welcome." Virtuous niece, Mingxiang, you can sit down quickly, and taste these delicacies, but it is appetizing? ”
Ning Shangmo and the others saluted again, and then each sat in their own seats.
Looking at the table table, there are Xiliang specialty roast mutton, etc., as well as exquisite side dishes from Daling Jiangnan. Ning Shangmo couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that the Xiliang Royal Court also had Da Ling's cook, it seemed that this wild land was also in the Central Plains.
"Virtuous niece, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get used to my Western cold food, so the widow specially sent someone to invite a few Daling cooks, what do you think of the taste?" Emperor Xiliang asked with a smile.
"Yes, I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic and exquisite Daling dishes in the Xiliang Royal Court, thank you for your kindness Emperor Xiliang." Ning Shangmo got up and sat down again.
"Virtuous nieces don't have to be polite, eat more if you like, it's not easy to travel these days." Emperor Xiliang nodded and smiled.
There was a peaceful atmosphere in the hall, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and everyone was very happy to eat.
After the banquet and resting in the side hall, Ning Shangmo asked the emperor to set up a post house outside the palace, so that they could also enter and leave freely, so as not to disturb the palace people.
Emperor Xiliang did not agree, saying that he was asking them for safety considerations. She is the eldest princess of Da Ling, and safety is very important. If you live in the palace of the royal palace, you will not be disturbed. The envoys of other countries did not have such treatment. Even if you live in the palace, you can leave the palace at any time, but you have to follow the Xiliang guards.
Ning Shangmo looked at Emperor Xiliang's words and deeds, as if he was sincere, rather than deliberately trying to restrict their actions. After thinking about it, he agreed, so it's okay, so that the second prince of Xiliang has to have some scruples and dare not act rashly against her.
Ning Shangmo thanked the emperor, chatted casually for a few more words, and then returned to the palace to rest.
At the banquet, the second prince of Xiliang didn't dare to get close to Ning Shangmo, so he just said a few perfunctory words for entertainment, and then stopped paying attention to her. On the contrary, the prince was very flattering to her, and told her vigorously that if there was any need, he would try his best to meet it.
Ning Shangmo returned to the palace, just sat down to drink a cup of sobering tea, and didn't want to come in outside to tell him, and the second prince of Xiliang asked to see him.
She couldn't help but look at Ming Qingyan, to see or not to see?
Ming nodded at her lightly, so she raised her voice and said, "Second prince, please." ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Yue walked in and said with a smile: "It's so late, and you still come to visit, I don't know if this prince will disturb the two of you to rest?" ”
Ming Qingyan didn't speak, just smiled faintly at him with the tea bowl, and then unhurriedly played with the floating tea leaves with the lid of the cup.
Since he didn't speak, Ning Shangmo could only speak.
"I didn't bother, but as the second prince said, it's late, I don't know what you can do here?"
"Just come and ask, is it comfortable? But what is the shortage? Have you had a good time tonight? Chu Yue asked with a smile of concern.
"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine." Ning Shangmo nodded and smiled.
Since he came to other people's territory, he naturally had to be polite, so as not to annoy the second prince, and if he made some small moves behind his back, it would be too late to regret it.
"In this way, I am relieved. Then the prince will not bother, please ask the eldest princess to rest early and leave. After speaking, the second prince Chu Yue arched his hand and turned to leave.
"Humph!" Ming Qingyan looked at his back, and couldn't help but snort coldly, the weasel didn't have a good heart to give the chicken a New Year's greeting.
Sure enough, the next day, Leng Qingrong went out with Yun Yishu and the others, and the guards no longer stopped them, but asked to send someone to go out with them, saying that it was arranged by the top to ensure their safety in the Xiliang Royal Court.
Yun Yishu couldn't help but sneer: "Yesterday I was grounded, but today I am surveilling, your Xiliang Kingdom is really interesting, you actually treat the envoys of other countries like this." Do you want me to have the slightest personal restriction on the second prince of Xiliang? ”
When the guards heard this, they immediately bowed down and replied: "Please forgive the two Great Ling Venerable envoys, if the above arranges it, we are just acting on orders." ”
Leng Qingrong didn't care about persuading Yun Yishu: "They like to follow, then it's up to them, anyway, we don't have anything to see." Besides, wouldn't it be safer for you and me to have them as bodyguards? ”
Yun Yishu heard this, even if he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything more.
She walked out of the palace with Leng Qingrong, walked out of the gate of the Xiliang Palace, and came to the street of the royal court.
Although it is not as prosperous as Daling Jingcheng, it is also very lively, with all kinds of shouting and selling, people coming and going, and a peaceful image.
"What's interesting about your Xiliang Royal Court, lead the way and lead us to take a look." Yun Yishu didn't waste the six guards who followed them at all, using them as guides.
"If you return to the envoy, this street is the most prosperous street in Xiliang Wangting, where merchants from all over the world buy and sell, and as for the fun place, it is the juggling field. However, it may not be open today, and only the polder will set up a scene, probably some big people or Simon, Dajin, etc. ”
"That's it?" Yun Yishu asked disappointedly.
"Yes." The little leader of the guards replied respectfully.
"Alas, if you can go to my Daling Imperial City to have a look, you will understand what it means to be a holy place of God. The entire imperial city has 7749 streets, 365 lines, and it is lively even if it is the fifth watch in the middle of the night...... "Yun Yishu showed off very proudly, and was very disappointed in the Xiliang Royal Court.
The little leader of the guards didn't say anything more, just bowed his head and stood aside.
Yun Yishu and Leng Qingrong wandered around the Xiliang Royal Court for most of the day, and returned to the palace with great disappointment.
"Mo'er, it's so boring, Xiliang is really a wild place, and it can't catch up with our town in Daling." Yun Yishu complained to Ning Shangmo.
Ning Shangmo couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that you are here to play?" ”
Yun Yishu stuck out his tongue, they are here to celebrate their birthday, where are they here to play? I think that Beimeng should be much more fun than here, but there is a female madman Tuoba Yanling, and she will not go.
"Mo'er, aren't you going out for a walk?" Yun Yishu felt very bored, she was a fast catcher, and she was good at handling cases all day long, and she felt uncomfortable when she was idle.
"It's better not to go out of the eldest princess, stay in this palace with peace of mind, and when the birthday is over, we can leave." So as not to have too many rights and wrongs. Leng Qingrong immediately glared at Yun Yishu.
Now that Ning Shangmo has a special identity, she can't afford to be the slightest bit relaxed and slack, let alone do whatever she wants like in the Daling Imperial City. The second prince of Xiliang is also eyeing her, but they haven't found a chance to start when they just came. In this palace, it is safe.
Ning Shangmo nodded, she felt that what Leng Qingrong said made sense. She is a special envoy, who came to celebrate her birthday instead of the imperial brother, and only returned to Daling after drinking the birthday banquet wine. No matter how curious she was, she couldn't go out.
Ming Qingyan saw that since she became an envoy, she seemed to be much more stable and mature. I will discuss with him in case of trouble, and I will no longer be rash, and I am very happy in my heart.
That night, Ning Shangmo had dinner and went back to the bedroom to rest.
At the third watch, she quietly got up and changed into a black night dress. Zhu Ye, who was sleeping on the couch next to her, was awakened, looked at her and asked in surprise, "Miss, who are you?" ”
Ning Shangmo put his index finger on his lips and motioned for her not to make a sound. When she was dressed, he leaned into her ear and admonished her.
"No, miss, it's too dangerous, or I'll go with you." Zhu Ye waved his hand again and again when he heard this, and couldn't help but persuade loudly.
Ning Shangmo straightened his face and stared at her coldly, Zhu Ye couldn't help but shrink his neck when she stared at her, obediently went to the bed and lay down, and covered his head with a quilt.
Ning Shangmo nodded with satisfaction, pushed open the window, and jumped out lightly on his heels......
