Chapter 74
"I have something for you." Rou Yun took the box from Red Sleeves and handed it to Duan Shu.
Duan Shu felt that this box was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"It's ......"
Rou Yun didn't speak, handing her the key and motioning for her to open it.
Duan Shu took the key and clicked to open the lock, the first thing she saw when she opened the box was the rattle in front of her, she picked it up with a trembling hand, it was really the one she played with when she was a child, and there were many toys in it that were put away by the Empress Dowager Xue when she was a child.
She guessed that this box was given to her by the Empress Dowager Xue, she then picked up those gadgets, and the one pressed under it was a brocade cloth, she opened it and saw that it was a jade bracelet, this bracelet she remembered, it was brought to the hands of the imperial grandmother, and then it came to the hands of the queen mother, who couldn't put it down and told her that this was the heirloom of the Xue family.
There was also a large stack of silver tickets next to it, which was worth a thousand taels. Empress Dowager Xue is not from a good background, the money she took in the early years basically subsidized the Xue family, and most of it was invested in the five princes, how long should she have saved this money, all of it was given to her, so how to deal with people in the palace.
"These... It's all given by the queen mother? Duan Shu's voice trembled a little.
"Yes." Rou Yun took out the package and opened it, and there were two winter coats inside, "These are all made by the Queen Mother herself." ”
Duan Shu hugged those winter clothes, looking at the twisting stitches on the top, the queen mother was the least good at making clothes.
Rou Yun said softly, "I went to the Xiongnu with my husband, and the regent and the queen mother asked me to bring a message to you, and the regent said, let you rest assured, he will definitely take you back." The Queen Mother asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself, and she is waiting for you to come back in the country of Li. ”
"Sixth brother... Queen Mother..."Duan Shu muttered, holding the winter coat in her arms and crying silently.
At this time, a maid outside entered the house to report.
"Princess, General Yue, General Jin asks to see."
Duan Shu raised her head and wiped away her tears, and hurriedly asked someone to invite him in.
"See the princess." Yue Xun stepped forward and bowed to him.
Duan Shu nodded, raised his hand and said, "The general is exempt." ”
Yue Xun raised his head and quietly looked at Rou Yun with his residual vision, Rou Yun noticed his gaze and looked at him with a smile.
Seeing this, Duan Shu was very envious, envious of such a beautiful love, her best friend could be happy, she was happy for her from the bottom of her heart, and then she looked at Jin Le, and saw that he was staring at the front intently, suppressing the feelings in her heart.
"Weichen's envoy to the Xiongnu this time is at the behest of the emperor, asking the princess to go to Liu'an County to live temporarily, and after Xinshan succeeds to the throne, he will send the princess back to the Xiongnu." Yue Xun said the purpose of the trip bluntly.
Duan Shu pondered for a moment and shook his head and refused: "Since I have come and gone to the Xiongnu and relatives, how can I leave this place at will, and the situation is tense now, if I leave at this time, how should the people of the Xiongnu view our Li country." ”
Duan Shu has always considered the reputation of the Li State.
Yue Xun continued: "It is precisely because of the current situation, the Xiongnu internal struggle for the throne, conflicts and wars break out from time to time, it is very dangerous for the princess to stay here, if something happens to the princess, it is really difficult to explain to the Xiongnu, and it is not easy to explain to Li Guo." ”
Seeing Duan Shu's hesitation, Rou Yun also proposed: "This will is that Your Majesty has negotiated with the ministers, since Li Guodu has decided to let you move to Liu'an County after weighing the pros and cons, it is conceivable that you have already thought about it a lot, so you should take it as a trip to relax, and don't have too much burden." ”
In fact, Duan Shu also misses the grass and trees of the Li country very much, the Xiongnu are quite different from the Li country after all, she struggled in her heart for a while, and finally nodded and agreed.
So Red Sleeves happily helped the princess pack her bags, hoping to leave as soon as possible.
On the other side, Cui Changshu had nothing to do, wandering around, and the soldiers of the Huns, under the orders of Tuohe, knew that he was a distinguished guest of the Li State, and as if he did not exist, they did not dare to stop him. So he wandered around to a splendid tent, and in his curiosity he opened the curtain of the door, and peeked in, and found it very wide and richly decorated, so he went in.
Seven-star knife, moon-chasing bow... It was actually some weapons, he guessed that this should be a man's tent, but when he saw the women's hair ornaments on the table and the women's clothes hanging on the wall, he hesitated, could it be a man who likes to wear women's clothes?
At this moment, there was the sound of water in the next room, and he followed the sound to go in, only to find a woman with her back to him, naked and soaking in the tub.
Although Cui Changshu is usually romantic, he is actually very innocent, where has he seen this battle, he was so frightened that he stepped back, and happened to touch the bead curtain next to him to make a pleasant sound, the woman reacted immediately, turned her head, and the two looked at each other. That woman was Lan Ji.
Cui Changshu was startled and hurriedly rushed out.
Lan Ji reacted, wrapped in a bathrobe, and flew over with a long blade.
"I, I, I, I didn't see anything." Cui Changshu stammered, his whole face was ridiculously red, and he didn't dare to look at the woman in front of him.
Lan Ji grew up in the Huns since she was a child, and she was open and heroic by nature, but she had never encountered this situation, she thought that she had just been seen naked, she bit her lip in shame, and scolded angrily: "Bold fanatic! You dare to trespass into my tent, who are you, what did you see just now, and you still don't tell me honestly! ”
"I, I am an envoy of the Li Kingdom, surnamed Cui Changshu, just now I saw that this tent is extremely luxurious, so I came in to have a look, as for seeing the girl....... That's all a misunderstanding. Cui Changshu saw that no matter how he explained, he couldn't be reliable, so he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking at the person in front of him, "If the girl is willing, she is willing to be responsible, although I am not a wealthy family, but the master has prepared a few medicine mountains for me as a dowry, and I will always have no worries about food and clothing in the future." ”
If you do something, you have to be responsible, Cui Changshu understands this truth.
Lan Ji looked at the man in front of him who suddenly raised his head, and then saw his appearance clearly, the jade tree was in the wind, and his face was like a crown of jade, which was indeed the type she liked, and when she heard what he said behind her, her face was even more red: "Big bold, do you know... Who am I? ”
It was originally a very majestic sentence, but it was said vaguely.
Cui Changshu looked carefully, and when he saw her neck, he quickly ordered himself to look away, and shook his head, he had never set foot in the Huns, and he really didn't know anyone here.
"Then listen up, I'm a noble Lan girl! is also the concubine of the third prince of the Huns! ”
It turned out that he was already married, Cui Changshu hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, so he should not be responsible for his actions.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand and boasted: "It turned out to be Mrs. Lan Ji, I often hear that Mrs. Lan Ji is virtuous and generous, and I don't think I will worry about Cui, so Cui said goodbye." ”
Lan Ji's lips twitched, she had just been made a concubine, how did he know about her? This person is obviously talking nonsense, but she can actually say that she is virtuous and generous.
Cui Changshu hurriedly walked out, but someone put a sword on his neck behind his back, and his body instantly tensed.
"Lady Lan Lanji?"
"Want to run when you see it? Well? Lan Ji gently moved the hilt of the knife and shaved off the broken hair on Cui Changshu's shoulder.
Cui Changshu wanted to cry without tears, and even wanted to slap himself, wanting to make a commotion for no reason.
"What do you want, madame?"
"Naturally, I want some compensation, and quickly hand over the valuable things on my body!" Lan Ji urged, alive like a robber.
Cui Changshu flipped his sleeves, and finally reluctantly took out a gold ingot, which was the belongings he won from the casino.
Although Lan Ji was not short of money, she still reached out and grabbed it, and continued to urge: "Go on." ”
Cui Changshu's eyes widened, and he was about to cry, "I don't have anything of value on me!" ”
"To take it or not?" Seeing that he was motionless, Lan Ji turned over with a long blade, groped with the back of the knife on him, and came across something hard, and said, "Take it out." ”
Cui Changshu was unwilling, Lan Ji did it himself, he wanted to resist but it was too late.
Lan Ji looked at the jade pendant and porcelain vase in her hand and asked, "What is this?" ”
Cui Changshu stretched out his hand to grab it, but was dodged by Lan Ji, Lan Ji sat on the table, crossed her jade feet, and shook the jade pendant and porcelain bottle in her hand.
"This is the jade pendant that my parents left me, and it is the elixir that I refined myself." Cui Changshu was anxious, these were his two most important things.
"Oh~ That's it." After Lan Ji found out, instead of returning it to him, she directly stuffed the jade pendant into herself.
Cui Changshu wanted to grab it, but thinking that men and women couldn't stand it clearly, his hand stretched out again.
"Lady Lanji, how can I return the jade pendant to me?"
Lan Ji thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to promise me three conditions, how about I give it back to you?" You can rest assured that you will never violate ethics and morals. ”
Cui Changshu gritted his teeth and responded.
On the Xiongnu grassland, Duan Shu and Rou Yun were walking together, and this was the reunion of the two after Li Guo.
The Xiongnu are nomadic people, although the grassland scenery is beautiful, but there are no high-rise shops or feel a little less humane.
"Your Highness the Princess." Seeing Duanshu, Ti Shi politely stepped forward and saluted.
Duan Shu bowed her head and said goodbye, although she didn't like the second prince's mother and son, but the second prince and concubine were a gentle and obedient little girl.
Ti Shi raised his head and saw Rou Yun on the side, even though she had seen many beautiful concubines around the second prince, but at this time she was also stunned, she had never seen such a beautiful woman, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she had a unique gentle temperament.
"Who is this?" Ti Shi looked at Rou Yun and had a good impression of her.
"This is my dear friend, the wife of General Huaiyuan." Duan Shu introduced generously, and then introduced to Rou Yun: "This is the second princess." ”
Ti Shi knew that General Huaiyuan was the god of war general that his father said, although many wars and conflicts broke out between the Xiongnu and the Li State, and there were many dead and wounded soldiers on both sides, but the war was cruel, and she knew that the cause of these wars was the initiative of the Huns, and no one had the right to blame anyone.
"Mrs. Yue is good." Ti Shi greeted, and she vaguely remembered that General Huaiyuan seemed to be surnamed Yue.
"The second prince and princess are good." Rou Yun saw that Ti's attitude was kind and quite favorable.
The three of them chatted for a moment and then separated.
Duan Shu continued to stay with Rou Yun and wander around, when she happened to meet Hu Yanao, who came out to find Tishi.
