Chapter 96: The Emperor Goes Out on Tour, and the Prince is on the Side
I still remember when I first entered the Xuancang, I saw a ruined scene in the area around the imperial city. After nearly seven months, he left the palace again, but he saw that the streets inside and outside the imperial city were clean and tidy, and the newly built houses were simple and neat, although they were made of simple materials. Seeing that the people on both sides of the road were no longer shriveled and thin, and their eyes were blooming with the brilliance of hope, my heart was shaken, and I wanted to go to the nearest place to talk to the people, but I was stopped by Lei Nian.
"The people are unarmed, what danger are you afraid of me?" I'm a little puzzled.
Lei Nian shook his head helplessly, and said to Yanyu: "Prince Feng, you should dismount and walk into the people, let Your Majesty take a look." ”
Yan Yu dismounted, brushed aside the Qingyi guards who were holding the people and walked into the crowd.
The people flocked to it, and in an instant the domain of words was drowned in the sea of people. Men, women, and children all threw their hands on Yan Yu's body, shouting "Prince Feng" in their mouths, enthusiastically wanting to devour Yan Yu alive.
I was dumbfounded, and hurriedly ordered Qingyiwei: "Quickly take Prince Feng back!" ”
A group of Qingyi guards rushed into the crowd and dragged Yan Yu back, and when Yan Yu got on the horse again, I saw that the red tassels on his head had been torn loose, and his black hair had become messy.
Yan Yu could only remove the red spike on his head, put his long hair back together with both hands, and tied it up again on the top of his head. As far as the action of the wind and the hair of the Yanyu domain caused a burst of cheers from the people, what "Lord Feng!" "Impatiens! The chanting was deafening.
"Do you know why I stopped you?" Lei Nian raised an eyebrow at me.
"Know...... Got it. I nodded honestly.
After Yan Yu tied his hair and rode on the other side of me, Lei Nian crossed me and said, "This battle is more fierce than I expected, which shows that you are extremely prestigious among the people. ”
Yan Yu smiled bitterly and replied to Lei Nian: "I'm afraid that you will be more fierce when you get off the horse." ”
I interjected: "I don't believe it, King Xian has never been out of the palace, where do the people recognize him?" ”
Yan Yu smiled and said softly to me: "On both sides of your carved dragon, one side is me, and the people on the other side naturally know that it is the virtuous king. I often go out of the palace to meet the people, but this is the first time that King Xian shows his face, and if he dismounts, I am afraid that his clothes will be torn back by the people for the people to pay homage to them at home. ”
It's okay not to say it, as soon as Yanyu said this, I was playful, and turned my head to Lei Nian.
Lei Nian immediately understood what I meant, "Don't be delusional, I never did such a thing in the night in the first place!" ”
"Oops~" I coaxed him: "It's okay if you don't get off the horse, you just smile at the people and let me take a look, how about it?" ”
"Impossible!" Lei Nian's refusal was categorical.
"Then I'm going to give the order!"
"You!" Lei Nian was speechless with anger, glared at me fiercely, and then turned his head to look at the people on his side.
I don't know what expression Lei Nian used, the people all gasped and took a few steps back, and a child in a woman's arms cried "wow".
"Stop!" After I gave the order, I stopped.
I said angrily to Lei Nian: "You person, what kind of ability is it to scare children? ”
Lei Nian pursed his lips, glanced at me coldly, dismounted, and walked towards the crying child.
There is no need for Qingyi guards to stop them at all, when this group of people saw Lei Nian approaching, it was like seeing a plague god, and they kept retreating in fright, but they were blocked by the people behind.
Hey, after all, Lei Nian was the virtuous king of the night, and there were also people who oppressed the people of Xuancang for many years, and now these people see Lei Nian, I'm afraid that they are more frightened than curious......
Seeing Lei Nian walk to the woman holding the child, and didn't know what to say to the woman, the woman nervously handed the child to Lei Nian.
Lei Nian held the boy in his arms, smiled and coaxed for a long time, and then took a small piece of brown sugar from Cao Kan's hand and fed it into the child's mouth, the child laughed happily after eating the candy, Lei Nian also smiled and rubbed the child's forehead slightly with his face.
It's a very weird scene, but I clearly still feel a little warm.
After Lei Nian returned the child, these people's fear of Lei Nian also faded a lot, and a few people even tried to chat with Lei Nian.
When Lei Nian came back, I asked him, "What did you say to the people?" ”
"I said that it would not be long before I would have such a lovely child with their empress."
“……”
I regretted a little that I had nothing to do and provoked him again, and then looked at Yan Yu, but Yan Yu smiled softly at me, and didn't care.
The huge procession approached the fortifications from the palace and camped four times, and finally arrived in the evening of the fourth day.
Qiao Yun and Yu Xianting were in charge of setting up camp together, and I, Yan Yu, Lei Nian, the nurse and the child, went to the nearest Taurus Palace in the Zodiac Palace to rest.
Speaking of the palace name of the 12 palaces, I casually named the 12 constellations to lay a lot of jokes for myself, when Zhong Yu of this palace came out of the palace to greet me, I crossed him and saw that the cow totem carved on the palace door was quite normal, and then looked down at the jade pendant hanging on Zhong Yu's waist, which turned out to be a jade pendant carved into the pattern of a cow, and I couldn't help but laugh secretly for a long time.
Zhong Yu is twenty-five years old, and in the twelve palaces, except for Hongyi, who is good at cooking, Zhong Yu is the biggest. Zhong Yu's temperament is dusty, his expression is always cold, if I don't ask, he won't speak, very quiet.
He came to greet me, but he just knelt down to say hello, and then he kept following me and Yanyu and Lei Nian, and entered the main hall of the palace.
I saw that this guard's outfit was neither like Xuan Cang nor like Ye You, and when he withdrew, I asked Zhong Yu, "Did you choose someone from the Emperor Heng Army to be a guard?" ”
Zhong Yu was accustomed to standing with his hands folded in front of him, and said to me, "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”
"The guards of the Qingyi Guard are not to your liking?" I asked again.
Zhong Yu said: "Zhong Yu is not used to people other than Emperor Heng. ”
I smiled lightly and took a sip of tea, thinking to myself that although this Zhong Yu looked like he was about to cultivate immortals, he was like Ling Xiao who was not afraid of death.
When Ling Xiao saw me, he expressed that he didn't want to sleep, and now Zhong Yu didn't look down on my Qingyi Guard at all. The people around Emperor Heng Regent, Wang Chen, and Wang Ye have distinct personalities.
Lu Leinian, who had been in a hurry for a few days, turned a little pale again, Yan Yu was fine, seeing that I didn't say anything, Yan Yu asked Zhong Yu to see how the dinner was prepared in the dining room.
After Zhong Yu left, Yan Yu came behind me to help me pinch my shoulders and said softly: "Zhong Yu is not quite the same as the others in the Twelfth Palace, his father is a high-ranking official of Emperor Heng. ”
"Well, I remember that his father, Zhong Yi, was in charge of the prison by Emperor Heng. What is the name of that department...... "I scratched my head, it is really difficult to remember that the official systems of the three countries are different.
"In the Criminal Construction Prison Department, Zhong Yi is the head of the department, which is equivalent to Xuancang's Dali Temple Qing and the waiter of the Criminal Department."
"Yes." I nodded, "Zhong Yu is Zhong Yi's concubine, Hao Yuan forcibly took Zhong Yu to the palace of King Chen, didn't Zhong Yi and several ministers not go to the court to protest for a month?" ”
"It seems that you still keep all the things of the zodiac in mind." Yanyu smiled and put his hand on my temple and pressed it gently.
The journey was hard, and with Yanyu's intimate care, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, so I closed my eyes and enjoyed it, chatting about Zhong Yu's gossip intermittently.
