Chapter 133: Dawn
Li Yuntong lay on the bed, staring blankly at the pomegranate flowers on the top of the tent.
The red Luo gauze tent is gorgeously red, coupled with the pomegranate flowers made of gold silk mixed with water red, so rich that it seems to weave the joy of this world into the tent.
For her at the moment, it looks like a sarcasm.
Li Yuntong looked at those lifelike gorgeous flowers, and couldn't help but think of a painting given to her by Zhou Daowu when she was just in time for Lu a few years ago, which showed a group of golden and red carp swimming in the water...... The carp is very expressive, like a golden reflection of the sun.
It looks so festive, too.
Li Yuntong is not a person who misses the old, from the day she was named Princess Wencheng under the holy decree in the palace, she knew that her marriage with Zhou Daowu would not be successful, and the little longing that was born from the two of them was gone.
At that time, Zhou Daowu said that she was ruthless, and she also said that they had their own marriages and never forgot the past, and that kind of affection was more hateful than ruthlessness.
Because she put it aside, she received a letter from Duan Jianbi on the road about her marriage with her eldest grandson Jiaqing, Li Yuntong was happy, and the letter mentioned that Zhou Daowu and Princess Linchuan were married, and she just laughed and threw it away.
She really knew that she was not ruthless to Zhou Daowu.
But last night......
Li Yuntong was in a trance.
In her heart, she obviously has some indescribable affection for Lu Dongzan, she hates Songtsan Gampo very much, and she also hates it very much, and she is really resistant to his closeness yesterday, but in addition, there are some other things.
He had made her panic.
Before, she thought that as long as he didn't touch himself, he only pretended to be affectionate in front of people, which was not a difficult thing, but last night she found out that a lonely man and a widow are in the same room, plus the two of them still have the status of husband and wife, it is really not easy to maintain an incompatible relationship with each other.
has the intention to let Songtsen Gampo not enter this house again, but there is no reason to stand on her feet at all, unless, she doesn't care about Tang Fan's friendship.
But it is her mission to make Tang Fan friendly, and even, she came to Tubo for this, how can she ignore state affairs for personal selfish desires.
She has always been able to afford to put it down, and this is the first time she feels in a dilemma.
She doesn't think it's because she has Lu Dongzan in her heart.
After all, when she knew that it was impossible to make any moves, she was already determined to let go of her hazy feelings with Lu Dongzan as she had done when she let go of Zhou Daowu.
Even if she didn't let it all down at the moment, she didn't think it was the reason that prevented her from getting close to Songtsen Gampo.
She didn't want Songtsen Gampo to touch her, because what he did hurt her, and once she was bitten by a snake, and she was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and of course she didn't want to pay attention to him.
But what should she do in the future?
Li Yuntong thought in his heart: It is absolutely impossible to be close to him, at least, before he accepts him, he cannot be as close as other couples. It is even more impossible to leave Tibet. How can this marriage continue so that his father and brother are not worried and Tang Fan's relationship is not affected?
After pondering for a long time, Li Yuntong knew that she had to come up with a way, which made Songtsen Gampo agree that this was just a covenant to be made, which was different from the real marriage.
After last night's incident, she also understands that resistance must be done in ways and means, and she can't touch a stone with an egg, and she can't anger him.
Because of last night's incident, Li Yuntong deeply felt how involuntary she was as a daughter.
She came to Tibet because she wanted more freedom, because she wanted to make contributions like a man and leave a name in history, and her relationship with Songtsen Gampo will directly determine whether her wish can come true.
This is a world where men have the final say, this is a world of royal power, on the snowy plateau, without the affirmation and support of Songtsen Gampo, she will not be able to move an inch.
Considering that they have just become married, she has just become the Zanmeng of Tubo, and she is not too anxious at the moment, after all, this identity will give her some convenience, and when she enters the royal city of Tubo, she still has a lot of time to plan this matter.
In any case, we can't let my father and brother know that we don't have a house.
She had this matter in mind, so she went to find Bai Aya on the bed.
Lifted the red brocade quilt, and then lifted the red mattress, anyway, I rummaged through everything, and I didn't see a little white.
Where is the piece of white silk used to make Yuanpa?
Li Yuntong was a little flustered.
The door was pushed open, and Songtsen Gampo, who had been halfway through the morning exercise, walked in and said with a smile: "Are you awake?" Then I'll let people in and wait. ”
Li Yuntong hid in the quilt before, and she never saw her, Songtsen Gampo thought she was asleep again, and specially told the servants not to come in and disturb, and to go to the morning exercise first.
Unexpectedly, an hour later, the morning glow shone in through the window lattice, dyeing the red Luo tent of the pomegranate flower into a bright one, and she was still lying on the bed and did not get up.
Seeing that Li Yuntong ignored him and was still turning around on the bed, Songtsen Gampo understood, and said with a muffled smile: "I have already handed over the handkerchief to Mama Gao." ”
Mama Gao was one of the four nurturing grandmothers brought out by Li Yuntong from the palace, and the Yuanpa was kept by her and handed over to Songtsen Gampo's mother in Tubo to regard her son as marrying an innocent daughter-in-law.
Although you can find Mama Gao to take a leave afterwards, it is still a bit troublesome to let the third person know about this matter.
Maybe Mama Gao will misunderstand that she lost her innocence before, and then Songtsen Gampo will treat her badly because of this, and no one on Datang's side will have the confidence to speak.
Although the Tang Dynasty is civilized, a woman's loss of virginity before marriage, especially a princess like her, is still a big crime.
If an ordinary woman does not see red on the wedding night, the family of the mother who is immersed in the pig cage is speechless.
That's what he did on purpose!
Seeing Li Yuntong looking at herself angrily, Songtsen Gampo put away his thoughts to tease her, and coughed lightly with his fist against his lips, "Well, I dripped some blood on it." ”
"What blood?"
Songtsen Gampo didn't want to tell Li Yuntong that he had broken his fingers, so he hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Of course it's chicken blood." I wanted to cut your hand and drip some blood, but you shrank in the quilt and refused to come out, so I had to do it. ”
Chicken blood? It turned out to be chicken blood......
Li Yuntong looked at him speechlessly.
May the blood and ...... The color is pretty much the same.
I have never seen a chicken killed, and the blood clots of the chickens I usually eat are black and red, and Li Yuntong is not sure if the color of the two blood is the same, so he only secretly prays in his heart not to wear it.
After getting up, she saw Mama Gao's joyful congratulations, and she was relieved.
Because there is no in-law here and there is no need to serve tea, after breakfast, Li Yuntong went directly to the backyard.
Songtsen Gampo continued his morning exercise in the backyard, where he was holding a long knife.
Because he was afraid that Li Yuntong would be uncomfortable, he didn't wait for her to have breakfast together, and went back before to see if she was up.
The pines and cypresses are verdant, the hydrangea vines are soft, he is wearing a thin and strong suit, his head and face have been sweaty, and the thin clothes are half-wet on his body, outlining his extremely strong figure.
The long knife is sharp, dancing with the wind whistling, shuttling through the shadows of the trees, and you can feel the fierce murderous aura coming to his face from a long distance, coupled with the impermeable sword shadow, it looks really iron-clad and majestic.
Li Yuntong couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
She plays Xiao Aiwu, although she has only practiced flower boxing and embroidered legs, but she likes to watch others dance knives and guns.
People who practice martial arts are the most vigilant, from the first moment Li Yuntong stepped into the courtyard, Songtsen Gampo saw her with the corner of his eye, and when he saw her expression, he couldn't help but smile proudly, and after a little groaning, his long knife pulled a knife flower and went straight to her.
Li Yuntong watched as the one-person tall long knife in Songtsen Gampo's hand was like a sharp arrow, piercing towards him with a chilling wind.
Although his face turned pale for a while, Li Yuntong didn't move, letting the knife fly towards him.
She didn't believe that Songtsen Gampo would kill her.
The long knife pressed against her shoulder, through the hydrangea vine behind her, and through two pines and cypresses, before it was deep into the ground.
was touched by a long knife, and the pink hydrangea petals scattered everywhere like a torrential rain, falling all over Li Yuntong's body.
On the first day of the wedding, she wore a red brocade robe, embellished with pink petals, her face was pale, and her expression was a little dazed, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world by mistake, nervously not knowing where she was.
Although her expression revealed her thoughts, just because she dared to stand still, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but admire, "The courage is good, and you dare not to dodge." ”
He walked over, picked up the petals on Li Yuntong's shoulder, and sniffed them under his nose.
This action is really ambiguous, Li Yuntong frowned, his eyes avoided his gaze, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Even if Zampu doesn't like me, he won't take my life, of course there is no need to hide." ”
"Yes, of course I like you." Songtsen Gampo laughed, hooked Li Yuntong's chin, and said softly: "Whoever sees you will like it." ”
Glancing at the long knife on the ground, Li Yuntong pretended not to hear his words, avoided his hand, and said lightly: "Zampu continue to practice, I'll go around the courtyard at will." ”
After taking two steps away from him, she replied, "By the way, when are we going to go to Luo?" ”
"What? Are you in such a hurry to go back with me? Songtsen Gampo asked playfully.
Li Yuntong didn't seem to understand the hint in his words, looked at the tip of his nose and said: "If you are not in a hurry, I want to stay here for a while, the craftsmen I brought were teaching the local people to weave and cultivate before, and it will take some time to fully master, if I leave here, I am afraid that all the work will be wasted." ”
"You, you are willing to let them teach me the people of Tibet......" Songtsen Gampo had mixed feelings.
Although he knew that the craftsmen brought by Li Yuntong would be used by Tubo sooner or later, he did not expect that before they got married, she had already started to let the people of Tubo learn the advanced textile and farming techniques of the Tang Dynasty, and she did not hide her selfishness at all.
"Of course, Tang Fan friendship is not an empty word, when I left Chang'an, my father once said that the people of Tibet are like the people of the Tang Dynasty, after I come, I must spread the rain and sunshine on the Tang side of Tibet. After I came, I saw that the people here do not know how to use tools for farming, and they don't even use oxen to plough......
Seeing Li Yuntong seriously talking about what she had seen and heard after arriving in Yushu, Songtsan Gampo got carried away for a while, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Yuntong, you are really the gospel of my Tubo, Tian Kehan married you to Tubo, you are really the right one!" ”
Li Yuntong struggled twice, but he couldn't withdraw his hand from Songtsen Gampo's big palm, so he had to say softly: "Zampu, you hurt me." ”
Hearing that she didn't use honorifics at this time, Songtsen Gampo was happy in his heart, he knew that this was different from the disrespect they had in their argument before, and after last night, she had unconsciously developed a little closeness to him.
Well, the light is ahead, and he has to make persistent efforts.
