Princess Honghua, who married Tuyuhun King Nuo Haobo, is the daughter of Li Daoming, King of Huaiyang, Li Daoming and Li Daozong are the same great-grandfather, so counting it, Princess Li Danyao of Honghua and Princess Li Yuntong of Wencheng are cousins who did not come out of five suits.

Although Tang Taizong agreed to Nuo Haobo's marriage proposal a few years ago, because he had not yet reached the crown at that time, when Li Danyao married Tuyuhun, it was already the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, that is, the year when Li Yuntong was named Princess Wencheng and was ready to make peace with Tubo.

When they arrived in Tuyuhun, it was already the seventeenth day of the lunar month of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and Li Danyao, who had been away from his hometown for almost two years, greeted the arrival of Li Yuntong and his party early.

After getting out of the carriage, Li Yuntong saw her distant cousin at a glance, Li Danyao's height is about the same as her, probably because she is two years older, and the thick winter clothes can't wrap her cousin's curvy body, the youthful spirit, and Li Danyao has a melon seed face, obviously fatter than her, but looks thinner than her goose egg face, which makes Li Yuntong very envious.

Li Danyao did not wear Tang clothes, her hair was braided into a lot of small braids, she wore a fur fur hat, coral and agate fell on the hat, and there were ribbons wrapped around the braid embellished with precious stones, and the fur robe with big hair was also wrapped in felt to keep out the cold, the collar and cuffs were inlaid with gemstones in the shape of plum blossoms, and several rings on her hands were also inlaid with agate, jade and coral, which looked bright and delicate, graceful and luxurious.

The Nuo Hao bowl on the side also wore a fur hat, with brocade chicken wings inserted in the hat, a maroon and red brocade robe of the same color as Li Danyao, and a turquoise agate and coral strings hanging around his waist and neck.

As soon as the husband and wife move around, it is like a moving gem vault, sparkling and shining.

In contrast, Li Yuntong, who was wearing a double-ring fairy bun, wearing a golden step, wearing a big red vase peony silk leather jacket, and a snow fox cloak, looked simple and elegant.

Li Yuntong's eyes began to turn red the moment Li Danyao's hand held her, and Li Danyao was too, at first he only held her hand, and after a while, he couldn't help but hug her, and her tears fell down like beads with broken threads.

As soon as he saw Li Danyao shed tears, Li Yuntong couldn't hold back any longer, and tears burst out of his eyes.

"Sister Dan Yao-" She almost cried out loud, and in an instant, the situation of the two of them chatting together and shopping and playing appeared in front of her, and she couldn't help but have mixed feelings and mixed tastes.

The last time they saw each other, it was on the eve of Li Danyao's wedding, and she went over with other sisters to add makeup.

I thought that I might never see each other again in this life, but who knew that we could meet again in a foreign country!

Thinking back to the past, the days of playing and playing with the sisters and arguing were like a world away.

"I can't imagine that our sisters will see each other one day"! Li Danyao said in a trembling voice, hugged Li Yuntong, and couldn't cry.

Crying with joy and emotion, the two sisters quickly cried together, and were persuaded by Nuo Haobo and Li Daozong for a while before they held back their tears and walked hand in hand into the royal city of Tuyuhun.

The Qiang people take animal husbandry as the main industry, live by water, the so-called royal city, in fact, is also a settlement and live, do not build houses, but use cow hair tents as housing, the residence is mainly camped tents, even the people in the royal family are no exception, their royal city, in fact, hundreds of big tents surround it.

Until he sat down in the tooth tent, Li Danyao's hand never let go of Li Yuntong.

When they were in Chang'an, they and other cousins talked and laughed together, drank tea, talked about poetry and painting, although both of them liked Buddhism and read the scriptures together a few times, but after all, they were not like sisters who could see each other from time to time, and they would not be as affectionate as they are now.

Hearing the local sound and seeing the costumes of the Tang Dynasty are very kind to Li Danyao.

After arriving in the royal city, Nuo Haobo beckoned Li Daozong and others to go to the royal tent to deal with foreign affairs, and let the sisters stay in the inner tent and talk alone.

Even if they greet everyone, Li Danyao and his wife are full of affection between their eyebrows, and when they look at each other, they always smile.

Obviously, Li Danyao has a good relationship with this Tuyuhun King who is one year younger than her, and she has integrated into Tuyuhun emotionally.

Looking at Li Danyao's happy appearance, Li Yuntong was less afraid of the fact that he was going to marry Tubo.

It's just that when a figure of a person floats in her mind, the hope in her heart decreases a little.

Although she felt that Li Danyao was doing well, Li Yuntong couldn't help but ask her, "How is my sister here, are you still used to it?" ”

Li Danyao smiled and nodded, and said to Li Yuntong a little shyly: "They are not like us Tang people, their feelings are more tortuous, they are always so enthusiastic, unrestrained, and straightforward, they will be a little unaccustomed at the beginning, but after a long time, they will feel that the strong feelings seem to be able to ignite people, very warm." ”

Passionate, unrestrained, straightforward? Li Yuntong thought of the man with cold eyebrows and eyes in the ice and snow, his expression was gloomy, maybe it was intense, but the intensity was also separated by the ice and snow, and she couldn't touch her, and the warmth she could feel was the short hug.

They didn't have a chance to start at all, and when they first met, they already had their own marriage lines.

Li Danyao saw the change in her expression, thinking that she was worried about her future, so she patted her hand and said: "Sister, don't worry, although Tubo is bitterly cold, but you are their queen after all, you marry in the past, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and besides, although it is cold outside, there is a fire pit burning in the house, and it is better in winter than when you were in Chang'an City." ”

Thinking of something, she suddenly laughed, "But if you see the golden mushrooms they burned for the first time, you might not get used to it." ”

"Golden mushrooms?" Li Yuntong asked puzzled.

Li Danyao covered her mouth and smiled, "It's yak dung, people here say, a piece of yak dung, a golden mushroom, ordinary people make fires to keep warm, boil water and make tea, they all use it." ”

Seeing Li Yuntong's eyes wide in surprise, covering her mouth and preparing to vomit, she laughed happily, "When I first came, I knew that it was like you, and I sprayed tea on your brother-in-law's face......" She probably thought of the scene at that time, and sweetness flashed in her eyes.

Seeing Li Yuntong retching again and again, Li Danyao walked over and stroked her back, and said apologetically: "I was thinking that I didn't want you to encounter such a thing in the future, like I was so embarrassed at the time, so I told you in advance, and specially chose to say it when you finished drinking tea, I didn't expect you to react so much." In fact, it's okay, the golden mushrooms they have here are different from the cow dung we usually see, because of the plateau landform, the wind is strong and bitter cold, and those cow dung will be dried in a short time, looking like a lump of hay, and it doesn't smell bad. ”

"When it's cold, the cattle and sheep and the piles of golden mushrooms are all the belongings of the herdsmen here. In Tuyuhun and Tibet, snow begins to fall in September every year, and herdsmen can only hide in their houses and rely on golden mushrooms to make fires to keep warm for the winter, and the ashes can be used as fertilizer for pastures in the next year. ”

"Because it is a must-have at home, no matter how old or young, as long as they go to the ranch, they will bring a basket and pick up the golden mushrooms they encounter and take them home. It is said that the golden mushroom can also be made into a small bunker, when the ewes give birth, it is very warm, so they will not freeze to death, and they can also be stacked into a fence to raise cattle and sheep......"

Li Yuntong listened curiously, and forgot to vomit, and couldn't help but say: "It's really a golden mushroom, it has so many uses, you let me see, where is the golden mushroom in this tent?" What does it look like? ”

Her eyes looked around.

Li Danyao covered her stomach and smiled, "Haha, I lied to you, although the herdsmen's homes use golden mushrooms to cook and make tea for warmth, the princes and nobles still use charcoal at home, and my sister is still like when she was a child, you can believe what others say, it's really easy to deceive." ”

Li Yuntong was embarrassed to tickle her, and the two sisters laughed together.

That night, in the city of Tuyuhun King, a grand banquet was held to welcome the arrival of Princess Wencheng and her party.

Torches were lit inside and outside the camp of Tuyuhun King City, and braziers were lit, which was very lively.

Walking on the road for nearly a year, there are few times to be able to stop drinking hot wine, eating hot soup, now Tuyuhun and Tubo have become relatives, you can eat and drink with confidence, therefore, this night in the warm hospitality of Tuyuhun people, every tent is a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat, shaking hands and talking happily.

But after Tota drank a few bowls of wine, he couldn't suppress his pride as a Tubo person, looked at the Tuyuhun people who had been beaten by them, and said something very embarrassing in an arrogant tone, "You look at each one and you're quite strong, why don't you fight so much?" ”

A Tuyuhun man who was very close to him looked at his defiant eyes, and the wine bowl couldn't hold it.

It just so happened that Noamo was also in this tent, and he hurriedly hugged Tota and explained to the other Tuyuhun people, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he's drunk, and this person talks nonsense when he's drunk." ”

He covered Tota's mouth with his hand and said in a loud voice: "Their queen and our queen are sisters, and our two countries are like brothers. Do you still want to be whipped? ”

He asked two Tibetan guards to drag Tota out and sober up in the cold night.

Although the Tuyuhun people did not immediately make trouble because of Noamo's behavior, they were still indignant after the banquet.

Some people shouted: "Eating our meat, drinking our wine, and looking down on us, we should teach these Tuyuhun people a lesson, let them know that our Tuyuhun people are not vegetarians, last time they were just relying on the large number of people, and now on our territory, there are only a thousand Tubo people, even if they are all killed, it is just like slaughtering cattle and sheep, see how arrogant they are." ”

If there is a cautious one, stop him, "What nonsense, now that Datang, Tuyuhun and Tubo have married, they are all relatives of each other, they should be like brothers, how can they still fight and kill?" Besides, this time the plan is happy, kill their people, can Tubo spare us? Can Datang stand by and watch? ”
