Chapter 17: The Lonely Swallow
Before dawn the next day, Luo Lianyi was woken up by the palace maid sent by Liufan and dressed her up, but the palace maids and eunuchs sent by Queen Tanglin were only in the outer hall, and the people on Liufan's side did not let them get close to the county lord at all.
After a while, Luo Lianyi was dressed up by the palace maid, she stood up and looked in the mirror, and couldn't help but suspect that the person in the mirror was herself: the black hair was knotted at the top, the strands were tied with silk ropes, bent into a mustache, towering on both sides, decorated with gold hairpin jewelry, and a milky white night pearl fell between her foreheads, dangling next to her beauty mole, wearing green amber earrings in both ears, wearing a red brocade robe, embroidered with flowers of the same color, and the two plackets showed delicate moire, indescribably charming and moving, looking forward to brilliance, bright and invincible.
"The county lord is worthy of being the first beauty in Tanglin, and he really fell into the country and the city, come, put on this cloak again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting outside the palace for a long time." Feng Lin took a bright red cloak of the same color and draped it over her, tied a ribbon for her, and his eyes were full of admiration. The edge of the cloak was decorated with snow-white raccoon fur, which set off the ripples of Delo more and more, and the oval face was red and white, and it was blown to the bone.
"Let's go." Luo Lianyi came out surrounded by everyone, bypassed the winding verandah, and walked outside the main hall. The courtyard was already full of people, several carriages were parked in turn, Prince Liufan was dressed in white, standing next to the carriage with his hands behind his back in the wind, his eyes looking at a red plum tree blooming in the snow, and his face could not see joy and anger.
"The county lord has arrived!" The eunuch reported.
Liufan raised his eyes, his lazy eyes swept over Luo Lianyi, but he suddenly paused for a moment, and his pupils lit up, but no one noticed this subtle look except himself, when Luo Lianyi lowered his head Wanfu, he had regained his arrogance and laziness, and he still just hugged his fists in return, and his eyes didn't seem to even look at her.
"A branch looks forward to listening to the frost and snow, and the condensation is two wonderful." He groaned lightly, and was helped into the carriage by the palace maids.
"County Lord, please get in the carriage." Xiao Zhu came over and guided Luo Lianyi to get into a carriage that followed closely behind Liufan, and Fenglin didn't wait for others to arrange, and jumped up to sit next to Lianyi. The palace maids and eunuchs sent by the Empress of Tanglin followed on both sides of the carriage, and Xiao Zhu jumped into the carriage and sat beside the coachman who was driving the carriage. Luo Lianyi lifted a little curtain and looked at her back, a little strange that she didn't sit in the prince's car, she remembered that Xiaozhu never left the prince's side.
The carriage slowly walked out of the compound, and the sound of suona was already on the street, and the gongs and drums shook the sky. Luo Lianyi opened a little curtain, and saw neat honor guards and soldiers standing on both sides of the street, it seemed that the Emperor of Tangling saw off the Prince of Xiling and her.
I don't know how long it shook slowly, the carriage stopped, and Feng Lin hurriedly opened the curtain to let Luo Lianyi look outside.
"It's time to get to the gates." Luo Lianyi saw the tall city tower and said.
"Yes, the emperor and queen are also here." Feng Lin nodded, Luo Lianyi came closer, followed his gaze, and saw a luxurious dragon chariot under the city tower, the emperor and the empress were getting out of the car hand in hand, and the black pressure behind him was followed by the civil and military officials and the imperial forest army.
"Did the prince get out of the car?" Luo Lianyi didn't dare to poke his head out to look outside, and asked Fenglin in a low voice.
"Nope." Fenglin shook his head.
Luo Lianyi pouted, although she couldn't see the prince's face now, she could imagine his very stinky face.
After a while, the prince's carriage moved aside a little, and the emperor and the queen approached her carriage together, and stood not far away, when several palace maids came over, bowed outside the carriage and said, "Please get off the county lord and say goodbye to the emperor and the mother." ”
Luo Lianyi looked at Feng Lin, the two stood up together, Feng Lin helped her get out of the car, when she raised her eyes, she saw Qi Yu looking at her fixedly, as if her soul was out of her body, and Gao Yan next to her was solemn and gloomy.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang." Luo Lianyi fell down, was supported by Qi Yu, and stared closely.
"Your Majesty." Luo Lianyi was most afraid of his eagle eyes and lowered his head.
Qi Yu still didn't speak, and the hands that only grabbed Luo Lianyi's arms were even harder, and he was reluctant to do it in his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Gao Yan came over and called softly.
Qi Yu seemed to come back to his senses, slowly let go of his hand, stared at Luo Lianyi and whispered dumbly: "The miserable Lonely Yan is difficult to return, when will the king continue to emei." ”
Luo Lianyi was speechless, only lowered his head. Liufan coughed a few times in the carriage, Qi Yu's face was like ice, and the queen stepped back slightly.
"Let's go, county lord." Xiaozhu came over, Fuluo Ripple turned around and returned to the carriage, Fenglin followed, lowered the curtain, and the carriage convoy gradually moved away under the eyes of Emperor Qiyu.
After leaving the city, the convoy and the Xiling Iron Cavalry stationed outside the city by the Ling River converged, and headed westward, the snow on the road was very thick, and the speed of the horse team walking was extremely slow, and after a day, Luo Lianyi felt that her whole body was sitting sore, the temperature was too low, she was wearing soft hedgehog armor, and she could resist the cold, but a pair of feet had frozen and lost consciousness, as if they were not her own.
"Sister Fenglin, are you cold?" She asked.
"Cold." The windforest has been huddled.
"Otherwise, let's get out of the car and take a walk, maybe it won't be so cold when we move." Luo Lianyi suggested.
Feng Lin nodded and said, "I'll ask Miss Xiaozhu." He opened the curtain and asked Xiao Zhu, who was sitting outside the car.
"Wait." Xiao Zhu's words didn't fall, and he flew out and landed in front of Liufan's carriage.
"It's good to have martial arts, I'm not afraid of the cold, and I can fly." Luo Lianyi looked at her enviously.
Xiao Zhu flew back in a blink of an eye, landed lightly in front of Luo Lianyi, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed, please get out of the car with the county lord." ”
Luo Lianyi thanked her, and got out of the carriage hand in hand with Fenglin, she looked up, only to see a white space between heaven and earth, snowflakes fluttering and falling, jade trees and branches, wrapped in silver, as if in a fairy tale world, she grew up in the south, never saw such a beautiful snow scene, couldn't help but run and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" What beautiful snow! Sister Fenglin, let's snowball! ”
Liufan heard her voice in the carriage, and ordered the palace maid to open the curtain of the car, looking at the red figure running and jumping in the snow, and couldn't take her eyes off, in the ice and snow world, she was so beautiful that it made him palpitate.
She picked up a ball of snow and laughed like a child, and the bright smile made the corners of his mouth not even rise, but this expression was just for a moment, and he quickly regained his lazy indifference.
He looked at the sky, moved his hand slightly, motioned to the palace maid to lower the curtain, and said, "Order, set up camp here tonight." ”
"Yes." A palace maid bowed out, and after whispering a word in Xiao Zhu's ear, she returned to the carriage.
Xiao Zhu jumped out of the carriage and strode to the army to order the barracks to be stationed.
