Chapter 30: Déjà vu (3)
Early the next morning, the eunuch rushed to the post house to announce the decree and ordered the envoys of various countries to enter the pilgrimage to meet the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The carriage was ready early in the morning, and Dongfang Sheng entered the palace with a cold heart and two personal guards. This post house is a distance from the imperial palace, the carriage has to cross Tianfu Street to reach, along the way all kinds of vendors cries and hawks, this dragon capital is economically developed, sure enough, all kinds of high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, a prosperous scene.
Hanxin seemed to be attracted by all kinds of things, his eyes kept looking out, Dongfang Sheng looked at Hanxin's rare little woman's appearance, his eyes softened, and he said softly: "If you like it, I'll take you out for a walk later." ”
Hanxin was attracted by Dongfang Sheng's words, turned around, and said in a playful voice: "Childe is so good?" This questioning tone made Dongfang Sheng wonder: "Is it possible, this son usually treats you very viciously?" ”
Hearing this, he smiled coldly and said nothing, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, which made Dongfang Sheng angry for a while.
The carriage continued to move forward, and when he heard the delicate voice of a woman, he suddenly lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, and took the place he had just seen deeply into his mind, and then lowered the curtain as if nothing had happened.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and the guard who drove the car said, "Childe, it's time to the palace!" ”
Dongfang Sheng got up and walked out of the carriage. Chill followed. As soon as he stood up, he found that another carriage had also stopped, three brown horses stood upright, black wood bodies, low-key luxury, carved beams and paintings, ingenious workmanship, I don't know what kind of son inside could afford such extravagance.
The curtain of the car slowly opened, and out of it came a wonderful son, wearing a golden crown, only to see his cold and hard face carved out of a knife, handsome and extraordinary, a pair of bright and dazzling black pupils, flashing with awe-inspiring acumen, as if looking at everything, the tall body wore a gold-trimmed black section robe, there was a piece of jasper on the belt of the same color, and a giant python on his chest was unscrupulous, revealing a kind of arrogance all over his body, but he was full of grandeur, and suddenly exuded a dark atmosphere that was proud of the world.
Hanxin raised his eyes and looked at the people who got off the car next to him, slightly stunned, there was a feeling of déjà vu, where had he seen it, but he really couldn't remember it, and he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I'm afraid I'm really thinking too much, such a character, as long as I see it, it will be unforgettable." ”
The man in the carriage seemed to be aware of the cold gaze, and turned his head to look over, but Dongfang Sheng took a step forward to block his vision, and said loudly: "Situ Lie, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" ”
It turned out that this was Situ Lie, the regent of Xuanwu, and when he rarely saw Dongfang Sheng so "enthusiastic", he couldn't help but be curious about this Situ Lie. He has been by Dongfang Sheng's side for a while, and he has heard a lot of news, and he heard that this Situ Lie is a god among the people of Xuanwu, and his prestige in the hearts of the people is extremely high, and his means are also quite powerful. When the old emperor Xuanwu died suddenly, the palace was in turmoil, several princes competed for the throne very fiercely, the little-known Situ Lie suddenly took action, with a resolute and ruthless means to quell the civil strife, and support the prince who was still a child to take the throne, so that Xuanwu quickly settled down, and in the next few years to help the little emperor govern the government, develop the economy, so that the people gradually become rich, the national strength gradually strengthened, so that the country and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. He was named the youngest regent in the history of Xuanwu.
Situ Lie didn't seem to care that Dongfang Sheng called him by his name, but said: "Sheng Shizi, don't come to harm!" "That deep voice seems to have some kind of magic, and people can't help but indulge in it.
The two of them standing together in such a wonderful way is simply a beautiful sight, and the other cut fades with it.
After a while, another luxury carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, the curtain was slowly lifted, and from inside came a beautiful boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in white and exceptionally refreshing, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a smile. Come to think of it, this should be Murong Yu, the crown prince of Chiling. There was also a young girl behind, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate appearance, white skin, and a glorious person, wearing a goose-yellow wide-sleeved gauze skirt that was smart and beautiful, and her waist had a unique charm. The maid beside her carefully held on, looking at this should be a princess!
At this time, the little eunuch on the side urged: "Please ask a few distinguished guests to enter the palace quickly and face the saint!" The group walked towards the Zhengde Hall.
In the majestic* Zhengde Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood on both sides, all looking forward to the arrival of several distinguished guests. Finally, in the voice of the eunuch: "Xuanlai envoys to meet the courtiers", several characters slowly appeared. Han Xin and the rest of the guards stayed outside the main hall.
Dongfang Sheng and Situ Lie walked in front, followed by Murong Yu's brothers and sisters.
Several of them are rare and stunning in the world, and when they first appeared in the hall, they attracted the admiration of many ministers.
"The Holy Heavenly Son, Dongfang Sheng, sees the emperor!"
"Xuanwu Situ Lie see the emperor!"
"The prince/princess of Chiling see the emperor!"
I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the high seat of the Zhengde Hall, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe majestic and magnificent, and the green dragon eyes embroidered with gold thread on his chest flashed, which was extremely realistic. A pair of discerning eyes seem to be able to see everything. Seeing several distinguished guests of His Royal Highness, he said kindly: "No courtesy." His eyes swept over a few people in the hall, and he slowly spoke: "Several distinguished guests have come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they must have been tired of traveling. Today, we will locate a few people to set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”
The conversation inside continued politely, and Hanxin was already impatient, thinking that he had not visited the Eastern Jin Dynasty Palace, so he quietly turned around and disappeared into the deep courtyard of the palace.
At this time, in the side hall of the Zhengde Palace, a slender and bright girl wearing a pink palace dress, regardless of the obstruction of the maid with her, looked towards the main hall from the slightly open door. The maid on the side said eagerly: "Princess, we should go, if we are discovered by the noble concubine and the emperor, we will be punished!" As he spoke, he eagerly took the girl's arm.
Who knows, the girl in pink shook it violently, threw the maid beside her aside, and said, "I'll take a look at it again, just take a look, and see what my future husband is like!" Are you worthy of me? ”
The little eunuch on the side hurriedly said: "Eighth princess, go quickly, otherwise the little one's life will not be saved!" Unable to resist the persuasion of the maids and eunuchs around her, the woman in pink finally slowly withdrew from the side hall.
Along the way, the maid looked at the princess who was originally jumping around, and asked curiously, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Ever since you left the hall, you have been in a trance. ”
Hearing the maid's words, the woman in pink actually laughed, looked so happy, and said happily: "Cai'er, do you know? I saw my future husband, and this princess was so happy, he was so dazzling that this princess couldn't take her eyes off. As he spoke, he also showed an extremely obsessed look, which caused a chill to sit on the tree and chuckle, the men in the hall were all dragons among men, but they didn't know which one could be favored by this proud eighth princess!
