June 16 of the eighth year of Yuanqing is an auspicious day for Qin Tianjian Bude, and it is advisable to marry, make alliances, and travel far away.

On the night of June 15, a banquet was set up in the State Guesthouse, and the protagonist was Yiyangjun, because the next day he was about to marry Princess Donghua and set off for China.

In the evening of this day, a torrential rain suddenly fell, the dark clouds were obscure, and the rain continued until the second watch, and the momentum was still not completely contained. In Guan Sui Garden, I can't hear the sheng song and music in the state guesthouse, but it is late at night, but the atrium is still lit by candles, the maids are busy, the hostess is wearing a homely narrow sleeve begonia red shirt, is busy according to the list in her hand to inspect the box in the house, for the last time to check the outfit for the male host who is about to travel far away.

The curtain roll and the west wind have been serving beside them, while listening to the beautiful scenery and instructing many precautions.

This time, the prince sent off his relatives as the princess's brother, not the important task of the monarch's political affairs, and the two of them were assigned by Yijing to wait, "shouldering heavy responsibilities".

"It is inevitable that there will be many inconveniences when going out, but fortunately, most of them are by water, which is more comfortable and convenient than the land route, and it is cold on the river, so you must pay attention not to let the prince catch a cold, you should not be too timid, if you see the prince coveting the river scenery along the coast, you have to persuade him, don't let him stay on the deck too late by temperament...... I will entrust the matter of medicinal food to Mama Xie, but the prince has become more and more disliked to take it over the years, you have to keep an eye on it, don't let the prince pick his mouth...... There are three princes and Yiyangjun here, but I am afraid that the journey will be long and you will not be able to drink, you two have to pay attention, don't indulge the prince in greed. Yijing watched the two maids fold the robes on the kang neatly and put them into the box, and then instructed: "Bring two more clothes, that is, in the spring and autumn seasons, wait, don't use the gold embroidered purple python, it is to prevent the prince from wearing it when the wind is strong on the river, he doesn't like to wear it so solemnly when he is idle, yes, just the two green brocade grass plackets." ”

I went to look at the specially selected tea leaves, opened the jars one by one and inspected them, and let the west wind put them away.

"Autumn frost." Yi Jing suddenly shouted again, saw someone come in, and carefully advised: "There is a set of military books on the long desk in the study, which the prince is reading these days, you take it and prepare it for him to read on the way...... Pick a few more volumes of poetry and books to collect...... Well, I'll go ahead and choose...... You go to the vestibule and tell the clear sky, as soon as you see the prince enter the corner door, you come in and respond, it's raining today, I'm worried that he is drenched, and as soon as the people come back, let the kitchen prepare hot water. ”

After a lot of busyness, it was finally cleaned up, and a few strong mothers-in-law came in and carried the boxes out and handed them over to the porter to load the car.

But until the time of the child, Yu Feng still did not return.

After bathing, Yijing only wore a medium coat and plain skirt, pulled a loose and short bun, leaned on the kang and held a scroll, but the pages did not turn for a long time.

"I think it's because the banquet in the state guesthouse didn't end so early, and the slave maid heard that the saint asked the noble officials to go to the party, but when it was lively, the princess and concubine would have to enter the palace early tomorrow, so don't you rest first, and when there is a letter in the front court, the slave and maid are calling you." Chundui stepped forward to persuade.

"I can't sleep either, don't bother with it." Yi Jing was a little apprehensive: "Simmer the medicinal food on the stove, and you should be back soon." ”

Chun Du answered, and just went out to simmer the medicinal food on the charcoal stove in the porch, when he saw Hu Xuan roll in like a gust of wind, saying that the prince had changed the soft sedan chair at the corner door, and Chun Du hurriedly instructed the kitchen to bring hot water into the clean room.

Sitting in front of the window, Yijing had already heard this, grabbed a thin coat and draped it over his body, followed the corridor into the front hall, and stood on the stairs and waited.

The soft sedan chair was carried into the atrium, and Yu Feng came out slowly.

Looking at his steps, he knew that he had drunk too much wine today, and in order not to show drunkenness, his behavior was more soothing than usual.

In front of her subordinates, the princess was not easy to blame, and when she stepped forward and took off her raincoat and touched the robe on his body that was not soaked, she had a smile on her face.

After returning to the banquet, except for the spring twilight in the porch still staring at the warm medicinal food on the stove, the maids consciously avoided it.

Without saying a word, Yu Feng hugged the person to lean on the kang, and his snort was still a little drunk: "It's late to come back, let the good wife wait for a long time." ”

Yijing couldn't move by his arm, and he couldn't look at the bright lights in the room to see the drunkenness, so he had to rely on asking: "Drink too much again, but I feel dizzy, my throat is uncomfortable, Ming'er will travel far away, and you don't have a ......" Before the nagging words were finished, he felt a burst of dampness and heat in his earlobe, and was put into his mouth, and the princess was annoyed, and her waist twisted: "Don't make trouble, the spring twilight is still outside, and you have to bring medicinal food in later." ”

The word "medicinal food" made Yu Feng sigh, and his head was suppressed, and he let go of his hand in a daze, and watched the princess sit down solemnly and steadily.

"This time, I still let Mama Xie go with me to wait, and there are two curtains and west winds, I can give an order to the maids, you have to obey, don't think that without me watching you, you dare not take the medicinal food." The princess held a shelf to warn her first, and when she saw someone leaning lazily, she was busy bowing her head, so she smiled in return.

"I still want Mama Xie to stay at home, as soon as the third sister leaves, it's time to prepare for the division of the house, and you can't do without people around you." Yu Feng said.

"It's okay, I've already kept a clear account of the deficit that my second aunt has fallen over the years, and my father and grandmother are in charge, and I have something behind me, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to recover the money intercepted by the second aunt."

It turned out that according to the plan of the two, they should have "started" at the beginning of the year, but they also looked at An Jin's face, and they didn't want to let Yu Dong establish a mansion before she and her relatives, so they delayed until this time.

"It's good for you to prepare first, but if you want to settle accounts with the second aunt, let's just wait for me to come back, so that I can also see the excitement." Yu Feng saw that Yijing was determined to let Mama Xie accompany him, and said again.

Yi Jing knew that he didn't want to let himself fight alone, but he found such an excuse, his heart softened for a while, and he couldn't help but think of An Jin, such a smart and decisive woman, who had no choice but to have a bad fate, and didn't know if he was married to a good person, so he asked: "What do you think of Yiyangjun?" ”

Speaking of business, Yu Feng sat up slightly and resumed his posture with his feet down: "A few days ago, I invited him to visit the Buddha Temple, and he took the initiative to mention the estrangement between him and Lanjiang Gong, although he did not explicitly mention the dispute over the position of Xiliang Reserve, but vaguely stated his position, if there is no help from the Wan family, there is no foothold in the Qing family, and then asked about the preferences of the third sister, and said with a smile that he especially likes piano music among the four arts, and the third sister can be like, in my opinion...... Yiyang is a wise man. ”

"I only hope that he will keep his promise and treat the third sister well in the future, the two will support each other, and the third sister will be more or less relaxed when she is in danger."

"The third sister is quite wise, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed her to risk her life, besides...... In the eyes of the Qing family, the third sister's status is important, and there is also the maintenance of the king of Xiliang, which is more advantageous than expected. ”

If it is not the princess and the relatives, but the ordinary clan daughter, when there is no use, the Qing family may be unfavorable to An Jin, but with the name of Princess Dalong, neither the Qing family nor the King of Xiliang will be underestimated, because Dalong will not allow the princess of a country to be bullied by foreign clans and damage the national prestige, and the princess has a courtier, personal guard, and her personal safety is not as unsafe as that of ordinary clan daughters.

Yi Jing understood that in order to protect An Jin, Yu Feng had indeed done his best.

After saying a few words, there was a spring twilight report outside the curtain that the medicinal diet was hot, and when Yu Feng frowned and struggled to serve, Yi Jing untied his coat for him and pushed people into the clean room, but in the end he was pulled in together, and her family cabinet promised that she would follow his wife's instructions when she went out, provided that the good wife would give a reward first - so she would condescend to him again and serve him to bathe with her own hands.

A wall lamp candle flickered, the wide bath bucket had been filled with water, and the maids on the low shelf had prepared bath towels, perfume, bath beans and other things.

Yijing bent down to test the temperature of the water, felt a little hot, and was about to flush the cold water prepared on the side, but felt a tightness on the waist, and the whole person was straightened up, followed by a long kiss with wine and heat, and before she could stand firm, the tight footsteps had pushed her to stumble back, almost knocked down the gauze screen, and fell heavily on the soft couch set up for the convenience of dressing.

His lips and tongue were gentle and eager, swept away her breath, and couldn't wait to fill her perception and heart with the breath that belonged to him, although the weight did not follow and pressed, the dexterous fingers had already ripped her loose waist tape, reached into the undergarment, stroked it all the way, and found her plump and sensitive place with a drunken attitude.

So the person who was supposed to serve the bath ended up with a weak waist and tired shoulders, but was served and bathed again.

When the wind and rain gradually stopped this night, the sound in the vermilion gauze tent always grew with the leakage.

The next day sixteen, sure enough, it is a good day and auspicious day, Mao is just over, the sun can't wait to shine through the clouds, Ke Ye was washed by yesterday's rainstorm, and the green green is shining, with the sunshine gradually increasing the gold, the water stains on the green tile stone road are evaporated, only the flower mud under the shade is still accumulating moisture, exuding a refreshing fragrance of grass and trees.

The heavens and the earth are clear, and the golden tile walls of Miyagi seem to be more brilliant than before the rain.

When it was near-auspicious, the woman in front of the makeup mirror was already dressed up and sitting, the smoky green eyebrows were dyed, the fat red shone, the green silk was high like a cloud, the east pearl was hanging Su Ruo Waterfall, shaking the eyebrows, and the pair of autumn waves were clear and translucent. The cloud shoulders are embroidered with purple peons, the big red brocade sleeves are wrapped around the fingertips, and under the palm is the pattern of the golden phoenix spreading its wings on the knee, and the corners of the skirt are slowly swept by the breeze in the hall, and the pearls on it beat the ankles, soft but slightly weighty.

An Jin looked at herself in the mirror, and her mind was in a trance for a moment.

When it was time to part, the original firm mind was still a little reluctant.

The corners of her eyes were astringent again, and An Jin took a deep breath.

She heard the loud singing of the ceremonial officer, the small steps approached, someone held her arm, and there was no flute and drum music, everything was still so quiet.

The sunlight penetrated the corridor, illuminating the road under his feet, and Ke Zhihua's shadow stretched out with a smile.

It's not a wedding, it's a parting.

She saw her family standing in the hall, and they were really strangers in court clothes.

The queen who ruled the six palaces took the lead in starting to speak, and every word was read from the book.

Then there was the old princess, her grandmother.

Although she was still talking clichés, An Jin saw the tears in her grandmother's eyes, she held her grandmother's hand and insisted on smiling appropriately.

Her father seemed to avoid her gaze, and his words were cold, but when she turned to face her mother-in-law, she still felt the complicated gaze that her father had seen.

Then there was the eldest sister-in-law, holding hands tightly, no precepts, only a sentence of "cherish".

Until this time, An Jin still felt that her chest was crowded with a thousand words, but she knew that there was no time.

After a slow glance, she turned around resolutely.

The long guard of honor followed the princess's steps towards the Donghua Gate, and finally reached the end of the red felt, An Jin stood firm with the chief of honor, and raised his eyes slightly to look at the man who was about to pass through the city, hanging the car with a red mantle and walking beside him, he was wearing the court dress of Xiliang Yijun, the golden cloud pattern on the crow green brocade robe was dazzling, the red dress was black, and the gentleman swayed slightly with the pace.

A few hasty glances a year ago, An Jin didn't remember Yiyangjun's appearance, at this time, the man who came to her steadily under the golden yang, under the crown is a high and bright forehead, taking advantage of the two sword eyebrows obliquely into the sideburns, his eyes are slightly drooping, his emotions are deep, there is a slight amber color in his eyes, and the corners of his lips are straight, but it seems that it is not difficult to see a smile.

Suddenly, half-kneeling, An Jin watched the man who was leaning down to tie something around her waist, which was a fat jade tulip pendant.

"It's the ritual of the West Beam." The man's voice is clear.

An Jin knew that the tulip was the national flower of Xiliang, and the tulip was only worn by the nobles with the three surnames.

In a moment, Yiyang had already gotten up, and slightly spread his palms towards An Jin: "Yiyang, the king of Xiliangyi, the concubine of the Qing family, will welcome Princess Donghua back to China." ”

returned to China, and Xiliang was also her country from now on.

An Jin raised her hand slightly, covered her palm, and felt the warmth that made people's hearts reassuring, but it was not hot.

She remembered what Leyang had said - my second brother has had a lot of hardships and ups and downs, his heart is strong, but his temperament is gentle, although he is pregnant with the city, he attaches great importance to righteousness and gratitude, Princess Jin Yuan has the grace of promoting and protecting him, His Majesty is better than his biological father, he will never do anything unrighteous, so, if the princess can treat each other with sincerity, the second brother will not be slack.

From now on, you and I will join hands as husband and wife.

An Jin thought silently, when she was steadily helped into the car, her eyes looked at the person who would form an alliance with her again.

He stepped onto the golden saddle and looked at her, with a bright brow between his eyebrows and a stretch at the corners of his lips.

The music rang out in unison, and the cars and rolling rolled towards the city gate.

An Jin didn't look back, she knew that from this moment, the unknown future waiting for her could not hesitate to look back.

Her gaze can only keep moving forward, whether it is joy or sorrow in the past, after passing shoulders like this scene, she will stay in her homeland, and never see each other again.
