Chapter 44: The Mission Leaves Beijing

After Rou Yun got the news, she went into the palace to accompany Duan Shu for a long time, and Duan Shu quickly cheered up, her words and deeds were no different from those on weekdays, if it weren't for her pale face, Rou Yun almost thought that it was not her who kissed her.

After coming out of the princess's palace, Rou Yun walked on the palace road as usual, and the palace maids and eunuchs held the items needed for the two major events in the palace back and forth.

"Miss Jiang." A man's voice came from behind the rockery.

As soon as Rou Yun heard the title, she knew that it was Hu Yanzhi, and when she got closer, she bowed her head and signaled: "Prince Hu Yan, so coincidental." ”

"Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you here." Hu Yanzhi held a red sandalwood box and turned over and walked down the stone fence.

Rou Yun took a step back and kept her distance, looking puzzled: "Wait for me?" ”

Seeing this, Hu Yanzhi kept an appropriate distance with his mouth and feet, and handed her the box: "Well, you can take it apart and take a look." ”

Rou Yun took the box with some hesitation, but seeing Hu Yanzhi's expectant expression, she sighed and slowly opened it, inside was the bracelet won in the Dragon Boat Festival and the willow branch for shooting willows, but after a long time, the willow branches were not so green and green.

"What is this?" Rou Yun looked up in confusion.

"For you." Hu Yanzhi looked forward to complimenting like a child: "I originally wanted to give it to you earlier, but I couldn't find a chance, and I finally knew that you entered the palace today, and now I want to go back to the Huns, and if I don't give it again, I won't have a chance." ”

Rou Yun put the lid on the box and handed it to Hu Yanzhi and said, "I can't accept this thing." ”

Hu Yanzhi didn't accept it behind his hands: "I don't have anyone to give, look at your eyes, if you don't like to throw it away, I'm a man holding a woman's bracelet, and I won't be laughed at if I know it." ”

Of course, it is impossible for Rou Yun to throw it, and if Emperor Qi rewards her for throwing it away, she hesitates for a moment, opens the box and takes out the willow branch, and then covers the box: "In the Li Kingdom, the moving thing about the willow is that it can experience the pain of separation in the world. Willow, stay also. Now I have taken the willow branches, and I have received this farewell, and I have asked the prince to take the rest. ”

Hu Yanzhi saw that she was so persistent, and he no longer embarrassed her, accepted the box, then held his chin to look at Rou Yun, and pointed to the hairpin on her head: "Since you have accepted my things, according to the customs of the Central Plains, should you return the gift." ”

Rou Yun followed his gaze and touched the hairpin on his head, which was neither an important item nor an important item, and directly took it off and handed it to him.

Hu Yanzhi took the hairpin and was very happy, but he controlled his expression and did not show his emotions.

"Prince Huyan, the palace gate is about to be keyed, and I am going to leave the palace." Rou Yun looked at him in front of him and reminded him.

Hu Yanzhi walked away with a hum, and Rou Yun said thank you and passed by him. Hu Yanzhi reluctantly looked at her back and clenched the hairpin, they would definitely meet again.

The princess and her relatives are a big deal, but the palace is the new funeral of Emperor Qi, and everything is as simple as possible. Duan Shu sat in front of the dresser, and the maid coiled her hair and temples, and decorated the phoenix crown on her head.

"The princess is so pretty." The female official in the palace looked at the person in the mirror and praised him without hesitation.

Duan Shu looked at the glamorous face in the mirror, but she couldn't laugh, she was dressed in a wedding dress and was supposed to marry the person she liked, she stood up and looked at the place where she lived from childhood to adulthood step by step, holding back her tears.

"Princess, the hour is almost up." The red sleeves brought Xipa, and his eyes were lonely.

Duan Shu bowed her head, bowed her head slightly and let her cover the wedding pa, holding the red sleeve hand out of the door, the joy played, Duan Shu stepped on the red carpet step by step to the front hall, and the palace maids on both sides sprinkled petals and said auspicious words.

"Princess Duanshu has arrived." Father-in-law Feng has been overworked recently, and his voice has lost its former loudness.

The Empress Dowager sat on the top seat, looking at Duan Shu covered with a red handkerchief in front of her, and sighed with emotion, since when did the milk doll grow into a big girl who can marry. Empress Xue's eyes were even redder, she didn't ask her daughter for forgiveness, she only hoped that she could be safe and happy, but marrying the Huns, talking about peace and happiness, even peace was a problem. In order to make up for it, all she could do was fill her private treasury into the dowry.

"Duan Shu bows to her great-grandmother, the queen mother, and the royal brothers." Duan Shu faced forward with her hands and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Hurry up." The Empress Dowager hurriedly asked Red Sleeves to help her up.

Huo Yan was reluctant in his heart, Duan Shu was his only sister, and he tried all kinds of ways, but he still couldn't leave Duan Shu behind. Huo Ze is still faint, and in his opinion, Duan Shu's role is only to maintain peace and tranquility between the two countries.

Gonggong Feng bowed respectfully to the Dou clan and said, "Please ask the Empress Dowager to give instructions." ”

The Empress Dowager stood up and slowly walked down the steps to Duan Shu's side, she took the holy water handed by the female official, sprinkled it lightly on Duan Shu's body, and sighed: "Great-grandmother has nothing important to say, you are the most intelligent, you already know what you should understand and what you shouldn't understand, grandmother only wishes you to be yourself, and the princess of Li is also a respectable existence when she arrives in the Xiongnu." ”

"Duan Shuding will live up to my grandmother's expectations, and I will show everyone my Li Guo Tianwei."

"Good, good." Dou wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips.

At this time, the bell rang outside, and the hour came, and Yue Xun led the Hun envoys into the hall.

Hu Yanzhi stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, the time has come." ”

Dou nodded tiredly, and asked Yue Xun, "Can the family send team be arranged?" ”

"It is ready, and General Jinle will escort the princess to the Xiongnu." Yue Xunyun said lightly, because of Emperor Qi's affairs, he couldn't leave Beijing, and it wasn't Jinle's turn to escort him, but Rou Yun's plea couldn't be refused.

Duan Shu was stunned when she heard this, the female officer asked in a low voice, Duan Shu shook her head and said that it was okay.

"Okay, then let's send the princess out of Beijing." The Empress Dowager held Duan Shu's hand tightly, and finally reluctantly let go.

Empress Xue looked at the back of her daughter leaving, her heart was sad, and finally she collapsed on the chair helplessly, lost her husband, and her daughter married far away, is this her retribution?

Jin Le watched the princess slowly walk down the ladder, turned over and dismounted, and led the delegation to bow and salute.

"Princess Jin'an, please get in the car."

"Excuse me." Duan Shu looked at Jin Le deeply and said, "General Jin has worked." Then he boarded the car with Redsleeves.

When Jin Le raised his head, he only saw the princess's swaying crimson Luo skirt, how could the purse on her waist be so familiar, and before she had time to look closely, she was pulled back to her train of thought by the joy that sounded. He remounted his horse and raised his sword to signal the group forward.

The streets of Li are empty, and the people are crowded into a pile to see off the princess, no matter how humiliating the peace is, after all, this is a happy event, and it is the only princess of Li who is married. The people prayed in their hearts that they would be able to avoid the war with their relatives.

Rou Yun climbed to the second floor of Taibai Building, where the view is excellent, and you can see the family sending team on the street at a glance. She looked at Jin Le on the horse and breathed a sigh of relief, and in the end, Yue Xun still helped. It seems that she has a heart, and Duan Shu opened the curtain and happened to meet Rou Yun's eyes.

"Look, look, it's Celestia!" The people looked at Duan Shu who was covered with Xipa, and rushed forward excitedly, although they couldn't see the appearance clearly, but they were inevitably excited when they first came into contact with the noble princess.

Rou Yun raised her hand and gently swung it to say goodbye to Duan Shu, Duan Shu's lower lip was slightly raised, since someone was worried, so she was not lonely anywhere, she looked at Rou Yun for a long time before putting down the curtain. Although Rou Yun couldn't see Duan Shu's expression, she knew that she was not so lonely when her best friend sent her away.

Sensing the gaze from the side, Rou Yun met Hu Yanzhi's smiling eyes.

"Goodbye." Hu Yanzhi said softly, not caring if Rou Yun could see his mouth shape, and pinned the hairpin to his hair crown.

Hu Yanzhi is already bewitching, and now he wears a red coat and a hairpin flower, which is not feminine but has a different kind of beauty, which attracts the women on the street to shout loudly.

Rou Yun smiled helplessly, this Prince Huyan didn't seem to care about the eyes of others.

"Your Highness, take down the flowers." Tuohe, as a fierce general of the Huns, where has he seen this picture, he can't bear to look at it directly.

He couldn't get used to it at first, but he noticed that this hairpin flower was very important to Hu Yanzhi, so he didn't open it. Sure enough, Tuohe's words were met with a roll of the eyes from Hu Yanzhi.

"You know what, this king is showing love."

Tuohe was very puzzled, looked around, and asked, "Show love?" Who to show affection to? Which one does Your Highness like, I will take her back! ”

Hu Yanzhi glanced up and down at Tuohe, "Yue Xun's wife, are you going to take prisoner?" ”

Tuohe was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground, Yue Xun? When he was crippled, he might not be able to beat himself, not to mention now, I'm afraid that before he got close, he cleaned it up, Tuo and laughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and comforted in his heart, His Highness must be joking.

He also glanced at Hu Yanzhi quite seriously, he understood Hu Yanzhi, this was not a joke, but he didn't plan to care, the Huns often had examples of taking wives, which was nothing new.

After all, as soon as the Xiongnu envoys returned, the news of Emperor Qi's death would spread throughout the Xiongnu.

The Empress Dowager rubbed her dizzy head, sighed deeply, put down the fold, and picked up a new one to check.

"The Empress Dowager should rest quickly, and it will be the same if you look at it again tomorrow." The female officer beside her reminded that she had just sent off the princess and her relatives in the morning, and stayed up late at night to watch the excerpts, where could her body stand it.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she looked out the window, it was already dark, she picked up the hot tea beside her to moisten her throat, and then said: "The ministers of the court and the central government have accumulated a few days of excerpts and presented them together, all of which are urging me to set up a new emperor, difficult, difficult." ”

The lady in charge has followed Dou for many years, and she is used to seeing Dou's thunder and affairs, she saw that Dou had no intention of resting, so she simply lit the candlestick and took it to the bookcase.

"I'm afraid that the ministers have different opinions, and it is difficult for you to choose."

If she really got it, the minister's excerpts are divided into three categories, one is to support the governor, that is, the Three Princes' Party; One chooses to establish a virtuous and elects the six princes; There is also a category that is even more outrageous, let the Dou family directly ascend the throne and become the emperor, the Dou family is not stupid, he can live for a few years at this age, and it is criticized for doing this at this time, the gains outweigh the losses, and naturally it is not considered.
