"The Eighth Prince, please." Lu Fei bowed.

Helian Yunnuma bowed his head and strode out the door. Lu Fei walked up to me again, hugged his fists, and saluted, "Miss Su, Your Majesty has sent someone to prepare a carriage for Miss, Miss Su, please." As he spoke, he also bowed.

"Commander Lu is polite." I bowed my head and followed him to a carriage with a brocade canopy and bright yellow tassel pendants embedded in the four corners.

Bright yellow is the color that can only be used by the Xiqi royal family, and it is already an honor for His Majesty to let me take such a carriage back to Beijing.

Some of the guards had already brought in the jewel-encrusted pedals, and lifted the curtains, and I tugged at the hem of my skirt and bowed my head, and got into the carriage.

The car is very spacious, there is a small low table, on which there is red sandalwood incense, tea and a few kinds of melons and fruits, the stool is covered with thick brocade cushions, although it is just late autumn, but also prepared a small hand warmer.

"Slave Aqiu, wait outside the car, just call the young lady if she has something." Someone outside the car whispered, and I replied with a hum. In a few moments, the carriage began to move.

The car is very slow, one route is opened by the Royal Forest Army, although there are no gongs and drums, but the formation of the Royal Forest Army is quite large, I lightly lifted the curtain to look out, both sides of the road have been crowded with people, everyone seems to be quite excited.

I sighed, lowered the curtain and leaned against the wall of the car, the incense in the car was very calming, swaying, and fell asleep.

"Miss, Miss, wake up, it's here."

There was a soft shout from outside the carriage, and I slowly woke up, and when I lifted the curtain of the carriage, I saw that it was already dark. The building in front of me was towering, and the palace lamps illuminated the palace brightly, I squinted my eyes slightly and asked softly, "Where is this?" ”

"Back girl, this is the palace." Ah Qiu replied outside.

I nodded, picked up the curtain and got out of the carriage.

This is the Nangong Gate, the carriage and horses must be stopped within a hundred steps, Helian Yunnuma was led by Lu Da to take the first step, and I was led to the side hall by Ah Qiu, waiting first.

This is the first time I have entered the Xiqi Palace. Xiqi emphasizes martial arts and light literature, which is different from the Confucian style of Dongmu, and the decoration of the entire palace has a vigorous taste.

The carved lacquer pillars of the Dongmu Palace are carved with two dragons playing with pearls, and the West Qi is carved with the dragon roaring for nine days, and the ornaments in the hall are mostly tiger beasts, and I also saw a big bow of Xuantie on the side wall.

I have studied Helian Rui, the Emperor of Western Qi before, this person has a bold personality, he was not ordinary when he was young, it can be said that he personally laid down half of the country of Xiqi, and he is a full horseback emperor. Moreover, it is said that this Western Qi Emperor is also a lover.

It is said that Emperor Xiqi and the late Empress Hechen met on the battlefield, this Empress Hechen was originally a county lord, Helian Rui easily broke the county guard, she held a grudge, and threatened to take Helian Rui's head with her own hands. The military camp was created three times and twice, but they were captured alive by Helian Rui.

The two have been enemies for several years, and in the end, Helian Rui still married her back as the queen. The daughter of the general's family couldn't be idle, Helian Rui went on the expedition, and she also followed her, and the two were accompanied by Qinse, which is said to be very affectionate.

However, this god is also the most jealous of the red face, Queen Hechen once went out with the car to get sick, and after coming back, she found that she was pregnant, and she refused to drink medicine when she was sick during the fetus, and her body became worse and worse, and finally died when she gave birth to Helian Yunhong. It is said that the Emperor of the Western Qi Dynasty, Helian Rui, was grief-stricken, and sat upright in the mourning hall for seven days, and on the eighth day, he set up a newborn child Helian Yunhong as the crown prince.

When the prince was born to the age of three, he began to get sick, and when he grew up, he became even sicker, but this Xiqi Emperor declared that as long as Helian Yunhong was there, the position of the prince would be his, which can be said to be very affectionate to Queen Hechen.

However, in my opinion, the feelings of Emperor Xiqi for Empress Hechen are like that.

Today's several powerful princes are basically the same age as the prince, if they really have a deep relationship with Queen Hechen, there will not be so many concubines.

If you talk about deep feelings, I think my father and mother have really loved each other for a lifetime. A couple for a lifetime, envying others, it's a pity......

My heart was surging with blood, and I gasped twice, staring at a teapot to distract myself.

I waited in the side hall for half an hour, and then a eunuch in a eunuch robe announced that I should go to the imperial study to face the saint.

"Miss of the Su family, after a while, you must be cautious in your words, don't look up at Your Majesty at will, the etiquette must be rigorous, but understand?" This eunuch is an old man, and he looks very charitable, but when he saw that I was so young, he was kind enough to instruct.

I hurriedly bowed my head and said softly, "Thank you for the reminder and teaching." ”

The eunuch nodded, led me to the door of the imperial study, and went in to report first, and then called me in.

I lowered my head and stepped into the hall, and I saw Helian Yunnuma standing on the side of the hall, the red carpet in front of him was connected with steps, and there was a bright yellow imperial platform on it, and an old man in a golden dragon robe sat behind the stage, this is Helian Rui, the emperor of Xiqi.

I bowed my head and knelt down, and bowed in a dignified manner. "Wear the courtier's daughter Su Tanmu, see Your Majesty, my emperor is blessed and healthy, long live."

"Excuse me." There was a loud voice from the audience, and I bowed my head in thanksgiving, got up and lowered my head.

A burst of laughter suddenly came from above the hall, "Ha, Su girl, you don't have to be restrained, and you can raise your head." ”

"Yes." I had to look up, but I still frowned slightly. But this way, I can see what is ahead.

Helian Rui, the Emperor of Western Qi, has a national face, gray sideburns, a slightly short beard, a high dragon ball crown, and a red face that is not a little old.

He looked up and down, stretched out his hand and stroked the short beard under his chin twice, "I heard from the emperor that you single-handedly broke into the siege of the assassins, beheaded two assassins, and rescued the emperor. ”

I bowed my head, "Your Majesty Xie praised, as a courtier, she should share her worries and solve problems for Xiqi, everything is the duty of a courtier." ”

"Haha......" Emperor Xiqi Long Yan Dayue praised "Good!" Good one, everything is duty. Sure enough, she is worthy of being the granddaughter of the general Wang Suhuo, she has sincerity and courage, I like it! ”

I quickly bowed my head again. Emperor Xiqi nodded, and said, "Su family girl, you sacrificed your life to save the emperor, it is a great achievement, tell me, what reward do you want, as long as you say it, I will accept you today." ”

Generally speaking, it is polite words, I naturally can't open my mouth to ask for things, so I saluted again, and said, "The emperor's grace is vast, the world is full of His Majesty's people, the world is for the public, His Majesty is for the sky, for the food and clothing, and the courtiers are just doing what they should do. ”

"The world is for the public, and Your Majesty is for the ......"

Emperor Xi Qi thought lightly, his eyes darkened, and then he laughed happily, "You little girl, it's still a little tight, you don't invite credit, you can speak, I like it very much." Well, someone. ”

"The minions are here." The eunuch who had instructed me at the door just now bowed and stepped forward.

Emperor Xiqi looked at me and said slowly, "Proposed decree, Su Huo's grandson, Su Qianmu, is virtuous and intelligent, wise and brave, and Teqin is named the lord of Ning'an, and he will be given a mansion, a fortune, and a reward of ten thousand gold." ”

"Yes." The eunuch received the order.

Although it is a great achievement to save the prince, but to seal the county lord with this merit is really His Majesty's grace. I hurriedly bowed my head and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long live, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”。

Emperor Xiqi nodded, "You have been missing for a few days, the family must be in a hurry, I have sent someone to send a letter to the General's Mansion, you can rest assured." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I hastened to prostrate.

At this time, someone happened to report the visit, and the eunuch led me out of the imperial study, afraid that His Majesty would have any instructions, so he waited in the side hall for a while, and after about half an hour, the eunuch sent a message, saying that His Majesty had returned to the palace, and I could leave the palace.

Ah Qiu held the palace lamp and led me all the way to the palace gate. From a distance, I saw the carriage of the General's Mansion, and it was none other than the main mother Wu Wanhua who was waiting for me under the carriage.

"Dumping ......" saw me, she called out from afar, walked over quickly, hugged me, blinked a few times, and even shed tears.

"Dumping Mu, you are really scared to death aunt, that day came the news, saying that you were missing in the autumn hunt, but found a fallen horse under the waterfall, aunt was really frightened, rushed back to the general's mansion overnight, looking forward to your news day after day. But the emperor really lived up to his wishes, and you came back safely. It's great. ”

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.

She can do enough in this role, if she hadn't seen the faces of her mother and daughter earlier, it would have been easy to be a little moved.

"Thank you, Auntie," I smiled slightly, looking very well-behaved.

Wu Wanhua said obediently, "You kid, what stupid things you say, aunt doesn't care about you, who cares about you." It's also deep, let's go back first. ”

When I answered, a mother-in-law brought a footstool, and she got into the car first, and then went and sat on it.

The palace is some distance away from the general's palace, and during this period, Wu Wanhua shush from time to time to ask for warmth, and his appearance is very intimate. At first, I still asked and answered, but then I really felt that these politeness was too hypocritical, and I didn't want to talk to her more, so I began to nod my head and pretend to be asleep.

Since I was like this, she didn't want to say anything, and when she arrived at the General's Mansion, she sent me back to the small round courtyard with a sleepy drool.

Familiar road, different mood.

As soon as I entered the small courtyard, the latest one to pounce on was Luzhu, she hugged my arm and cried, "Miss, you are back, Luzhu is scared to death, woo woo woo ......." ”

"Sister, I miss you on the seventh day of the first month." Chu Qi also came over, with tears in his eyes.

My heart warmed, and I finally felt a little more comfortable.

When it was near, everyone didn't talk much, Qingteng prepared some pastries, and the mother-in-law brought a cotton brocade shirt, I washed it briefly, and Luzhu helped me spread my long hair, and after finding my wound, she cried at once, "Miss, how did you get this." ”

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." I smiled and took out the ointment and asked her to apply it to the wound.

Although the face saint didn't say a few words today, it was also very energy-consuming, and he was tired of the carriage and horses.

Fell on the couch and quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the chief eunuch beside His Majesty came to announce the decree, and after reading the decree, I kowtowed to receive the decree, and officially changed from the former bullied Su Tianmu in the General's Mansion to the Ning'an County Lord of Xiqi.
