Chapter 43 Harmony
There was a small girl's voice coming in at the door, and when I heard it, I quickly sat down in my seat, pretending to be looking at the flowers, but in fact secretly watched him walk in through the entrance.
He didn't wear armor, and walked into the garden with a group of sons of the family, he changed into a dark purple regular dress today, the whole person was not so solemn, but it was still much better looking than most of the men in the capital, Qian Bao quietly blushed below.
"I met the eldest princess of Changle, and I have seen... Princess Jianing. ”
Si Ye saluted below, I don't know if it was intentional, he suddenly paused when he read my name, I saw a sly smile in his eyes, he was laughing at the fact that I claimed to be a palace maid!
"Xiao Si Ye, please get up quickly, today's flower viewing party, don't care about those etiquette, just have fun."
I watched Si Ye finish the salute and landed on the lower seat on the right, his status was high, he was still in the front, and I could see him on the right side.
It turns out that the men in the frontier are so good-looking, not like some children of the family in the capital who can't resist their shoulders and can't lift their hands, and they can only "care about it" all day long.
It's a pity that I'm a daughter, if I were the son of my father, I would ride the fastest horse, drink the strongest wine, and be stationed on the frontier to guard these thousands of miles for my father!
After three rounds of tea, the emperor's aunt asked everyone to play freely in the garden, and then went back to the house.
Usually I have to follow her and accompany her to talk about the past, but today is unusual, Si Ye is here, and I am dressed beautifully, I should really give him a good look.
"Aunt Huang, Luan'er has a little matter, I'll look for you later!"
After instructing the imperial aunt, I lifted the hem of my skirt and threw off the Qinghe River to go to the forest, and then I saw Si Ye coming in this direction.
On the road, there are two men and women who are in love with each other exchanging sachets and folding fans, I don't stop, after seeing Si Ye, these men seem to have become rouge fans.
"Division..."
When passing by the rockery, I saw Si Ye's figure behind, and when I was about to call his name, I saw a slender wrist hand over a purse, and the words that came to my mouth were swallowed by me at once.
My dignified princess hid behind the rockery and secretly observed whether Si Ye had taken the sachet.
"Girl, I'm sorry, I already have a place in my heart."
Si Ye's words brought me a greater impact than the one he brought when he took the sachet, and the heart belonged? That's why I don't have a chance.
I heard the woman crying and running away, as soon as I saw the yellow skirt I knew it was Qian Bao, mainly because no one except her was so generous to embroider pearls on the end of the skirt, and she was not too heavy.
There was a kick of weeds under my feet, and one of them was already on the verge of being kicked bald.
The enthusiasm for wanting to find Si Ye has been consumed by more than half, I want to be a snail to hide here, and when Si Ye is gone, I will go out, I am the most noble princess of the Dajing Dynasty, and I can't be frustrated by being rejected!
"How long does the princess want to hide behind?"
Just as my thoughts were wandering, Si Ye's voice sounded from behind the rockery and interrupted me.
"Hide until you leave me and then go out, this palace didn't mean to listen to your conversation, but since you have a heart, this palace has nothing to look for you, you can retreat."
I felt uncomfortable in my heart, but I still raised my head, looking like a proud little peacock, and silently built myself in my heart, "It's okay Qingluan, it's okay, it's just a man, you are the most proud princess of the Dajing Dynasty, you have the best status, you have the best father and queen mother, you are the proudest." ”
Thinking about it over and over again in my heart, I didn't feel so uncomfortable, and turned to face Si Ye calmly, but didn't give him a look.
Si Ye's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he smiled softly, "The princess today... It's very beautiful. ”
"Hmph, I know I'm good-looking, you can leave if there's nothing to do, otherwise if someone else sees it, you should misunderstand that this palace will take the initiative to find a man."
Seeing that I didn't enter Si Ye, she frowned, "Isn't the princess curious about who the minister's heart belongs to?" ”
"I'm not curious, because others are ordinary beings in my eyes, I don't even want to know her name, in my eyes, ordinary women's names are not as good as the names of Ah Xiang and Ah Lu in my palace."
Si Ye laughed angrily at me, and a folding fan was stuffed into my hand, and the handle of the fan was engraved with the word "Si" of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing.
"I wanted to tell the princess that I had seen you when the minister went out to the palace, and I felt a little sorry at the time, and the beauty was always so shocking. As for today's flower-viewing party, if the princess doesn't come, the minister won't come to join in the fun, and I, a martial artist, was caught in the middle of a group of literati and recited a sour love poem, and I would be laughed at by my army's subordinates when I said it. ”
"Poof."
Hearing Si Ye's words and his somewhat aggrieved face, I laughed directly, and some gloomy mood was swept away.
"So, our Northwest General has a heart for me?"
"It's conclusive."
I was so happy when I heard this that I almost jumped up, on the one hand, I knew that Si Ye was also happy with me, and on the other hand, there was a pleasure of winning over the other girls in the capital, I knew that they would talk about me behind my back, how about being beautiful, it's not that no one dares to marry? As a result, the man they listed as the most wanted to marry turned his head and handed me a folding fan.
"My jade pendant is with you, and your golden mask is in my hand, do we count this as an exchange token?"
"Count, as long as the princess likes it, my things can be given to the princess as tokens."
After the flower-viewing party, Si Yedao and I broke our hearts, and the frequency of private meetings between the two of us also increased.
Si Ye will hunt the most ferocious wolves in autumn and give them to me, and he will stay in the mountains for a day and a night just to catch a nest of rabbits and give them to me, and he will lie on the roof with me to watch the bright stars in the sky.
I thought that everything would go on like this, Si Ye would pick a good day to enter the palace and ask my father for marriage, and I would become the most enviable woman in the capital, with a hundred miles of red makeup and a priceless dowry.
I thought that my family and country would be peaceful, and I would stay in the capital with Si Ye, give birth to two boys and a girl, accompany him through the country he guarded for a long time, go to the frontier to see how he lived, and travel the world with him.
Everything is just what I thought.
The reason was that Luo Dan, a vassal of the Jing Dynasty, sent envoys to ask for peace.
Luo Dan is a country born on the grassland, and the rapid changes on the grassland are much more dangerous than the comfortable Jing Dynasty, and the man who came out of Luo Dan is not comparable to the son of the Jing Dynasty.
If they directly propose to be with their own father, the emperor will definitely not agree, even if he has other daughters, but he is a good father and can't do anything to be friendly.
I was immersed in this memory of a thousand years ago, witnessing the superb conversation skills of the envoys, and the methods used by the envoys were similar to what Mr. Lu Xun said.
Mr. Lu Xun said before an interesting example, human beings always like to reconcile compromises, if you say that the house is dark and you say that you want to open a window, some people may not agree, but if you advocate to remove the roof, they will take the initiative to open the window.
The envoy did the same at the beginning, and simply put forward a condition for the lion to open his mouth, asking the Jing Dynasty to cut off twenty cities to them, but this request was directly refused, and then the minister proposed to recruit relatives through a competition.
Luo Dan's eldest prince challenged the generals of the Jing Dynasty, if the Jing Dynasty lost, he sent the richest and most favored Princess Jianing to make peace, if Luo Dan lost, he was willing to bow down.
Luo Dan showed that he voluntarily took a step back, and Jing Chao had no reason not to agree, so I was pushed into the balance of the bet in a daze.
On the day of the competition, I quietly went over to take a look, I hid behind the pillars of the main hall, and when I poked my head out, I happened to meet a pair of eagle-like eyes, although it was a man from the grassland, but it looked weaker than many men in the Dajing Dynasty, mainly because Luo Dan's eldest prince had a feminine face, and a white complexion, a mixed-race appearance, I was afraid that he would die on this competition platform.
Qinghe went out early in the morning to help me find out the news, inquire about the strength of this Luo Dan prince, and inquire about the identity of this great prince.
"Miss, the shocking secret, Luo Dan's eldest prince is the child of the old Chang family of the Jing Dynasty Pavilion, it is said that he picked up the child more than ten years ago, the old lady of the pavilion can't have children, so she naturally regards this child as her own, but I didn't expect his identity to be Luo Dan."
Hearing the news brought by Qinghe, I frowned, compared to Chang Yan's identity, I am more concerned about how the elder and his wife are at this time, the Chang family is full of loyalty, and I don't know how to blame myself if this kind of thing happens.
"Elder Ge and Madame are fine, right?"
"There should be nothing wrong, when the slave and maid rushed over from the palace, I heard that the elder and his wife were on their way to the palace to face the saint."
I was a little relieved when I heard Qinghe's words, no wonder my father didn't come to see such an important competition.
After talking to Qinghe, I looked at the field again, and found that Chang Yan was staring at me motionlessly, I felt a little familiar with this face, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it, he kept staring at me, I stared back, and didn't let it go at all, for a long time, he suddenly smiled coldly, and made a motion to wipe his neck with his hand.
I rolled my eyes, who to scare.
The father arranged the person to compete, and he was the Deadpool who had been with him for the longest time, and his strength was very considerable, because Deadpool's identity could not be revealed, he played as a son of an unknown family.
We all thought that this contest was bound to be won.
In fact, at this time, I should have noticed that all the good days I thought had changed.
I couldn't believe it until the Deadpool was thrown off the arena with several slashes, and the loyal Deadpool lay on the ground and twitched twice, looked at me with trembling lips and said, "My subordinates are incompetent." ”
It is said that this competition was not sent by his father to participate, but he took the initiative to invite Ying, and he said that the smile of the princess of the Dajing Dynasty is worthy of the protection of every people.
It turned out that he was the person I had seen on the beam of the house of the Imperial Hall when I was a child, and I knew that he was my father's person, and I smiled at him at that time, because he laughed a little, and he died for me here, and even blamed himself for his incompetence before he died.
