Chapter 86: First Sight of the Emperor

After the Festival of Lights, the weather is still cold, only yesterday there was a light rain, and the fence yards on the outskirts of the city are damp and humid, and the grass and trees are hung with morning dew.

The door of the main house was wide open, and Ling Nai sat at the table and carefully embroidered the wedding dress in his hand.

Su Jingtang was wearing an apricot-colored long jacket and a white cloak, the cloak was embroidered with a large piece of mountain lotus, and the collar was thick rabbit hair, which made his face pink and tender, looking warm and lovely.

She sat on the threshold with her chin in her hands, and let out a long sigh: "Alas......"

"Su Jingtang, you have been sighing for half an hour, I am in a hurry to catch the wedding dress, if you don't know how to do it, just tell Wen Xun." Ling Nai angrily threw a tantrum at the back of Su Jingtang's head.

"Even if she is not the princess of the Peerless Palace, she is also the princess of the mountains and hills, how can the princess sink because of a man, it shouldn't, it shouldn't! What's more, I was a mortal enemy with him before I lost my memory, and I don't know how many times he bullied me, I should bully back, I can't follow him in everything, otherwise he will think that I am a good bully......" Su Jingtang thought to himself.

Ling Nai resisted the urge to close the door, glanced at the door, and caught a glimpse of the snow falling outside.

This year's snow came later than usual, and the snow didn't fall much at first, so if you don't look closely, you think it's raining.

At this time, there was a heavy snowfall, and it was clear that it was snow.

"Miss Su, it's snowing."

"What's so strange about snow, isn't it just that I haven't seen it for thousands of years?" Su Jingtang was upright, leaned out and looked out, "The trees outside seem to be covered with a thin layer of frost." ”

"When the snow gets heavier, you'll be able to step on the snow and build a snowman. Speaking of which, now that the plum blossoms are blooming, if you are okay, help me go outside and pick some flowers, I want to embroider them on the wedding dress. ”

Su Jingtang glanced at Ling Nai, who looked obedient, and laughed: "You really look like a girl in the boudoir." ”

Without waiting for Ling Nai to scold her, she ran out with a smile: "I'm going to pick flowers!" ”

On the official road, Tieli wooden carriages drove smoothly, the body was covered by navy blue silk, and the light-colored curtains were embroidered with gold edges and decorated with pink beads, which looked low-key and luxurious.

The four sweaty horses rode side by side, the bells around their necks jingled, and were shallow to be covered by the sound of horses' hooves.

The first few carriages followed, obscuring the wheel prints of the cars in front.

In the blue carriage, one hand lifted the curtain, revealing a face full of fine lines.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing heavily." The man who spoke was the man who had just lifted the curtain, he looked at the age of not being confused, with Zhou Zheng facial features, wearing a pipe hat, wearing a green official uniform, and his eyebrows were full of sadness.

"Hmm." The young man sat on the main seat with his eyes closed, a brocade robe, a red jade belt around his waist, a warm jade and bright yellow brocade bag, a white jade crown on his head, a tall posture, and handsome facial features.

Opposite the superintendent Yushi sat an old man, with a white beard and a whisk in his hand, and he was also closing his eyes to recuperate.

"Your Majesty, how good it is to bake the stove in the palace at this time, coming to this remote place will only wronged you." Supervising Yushi frowned, "There are many mountains here, and I am afraid that there will be monsters at night." ”

"Didn't you say there are no youkai?" Xiao Jingheng opened his eyes with a smile, his brown eyes were bright and bright, his tone was soothing, and he looked approachable.

"Xiaguan has not seen monsters, most of the officials and people say that there are no monsters, but there are many people who claim to have seen monsters, which is true and false, you can only ask Your Majesty to send the Taoist of the imperial city to see, the result, the result, you have to follow...... "Supervise the grievances of the imperial history," if you really encounter a monster and are frightened, the queen mother must not scold the lower official to death? ”

Xiao Jingheng smiled and lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the thin layer of snow on the ground: "The officials and people of Wu County are not panicking, why are you panicking?" I grew up in the Imperial City, and you shouldn't be disappointed when you leave the Imperial City for the first time. ”

The superintendent of the imperial history weakly defended: "Xu is that they are commonplace, so they don't panic." ”

"Doesn't that mean that the monsters in the mouths of the people don't hurt people? Otherwise, Wu County would have been in chaos a long time ago. If what you have seen before is all the illusion that the government and the people are covering each other, then I am coming. The first emperor was not afraid to search everywhere for the sake of Guotai and Min'an, I just came to Wu County, what is there to fear? Do you want me to be a caged bird and a frog at the bottom of a well for the rest of my life? ”

The superintendent was choked: "What Your Majesty said is reasonable......

Lao Dao smiled and said, "Your Majesty Mingjun! ”

"I'm used to hearing things like that." Xiao Jingheng got up, and was so frightened that Lao Dao and the Inspector Yushi raised their hands, "Lord Lian, sit on the other side, and I will take a look at the scenery of Wuxian County here." ”

Xiao Jingheng sat by the door, pushed open half of the door to hide, the cold wind was blowing, and the old Tao and the imperial history were all shaking.

The snow was white, and the wheels pressed against the ankle-high snow with a soft creak.

The plum blossoms are like a little cinnabar, which is the most eye-catching color in the line of sight except for the snow.

A white figure stood under the plum tree, folded the flower branches and stuffed them into his sleeves, stuffed a few, and in a blink of an eye, he jumped and ran to the yellow fragrant flowers in front of him, picking them in clusters.

Snow fell on top of her head, wetting her black hair.

"There's a girl who seems to have gotten lost in the snow." Xiao Jingheng watched Su Jingtang swaying left and right, ignoring the heavy snow, and was about to ask someone to go down to send an umbrella to ask.

Su Jingtang heard the sound of carriages, looked back, and saw four or five carriages led by blue carriages coming this way, thinking about giving way.

Xiao Jingheng saw her soft face clearly, slightly stunned, only the apricot color in her eyes and a bouquet of yellow flowers in her hand, she noticed his gaze and looked at him strangely.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and their faces are becoming clearer.

The girl's peach-like face looked innocent and pleasant, her eyes were cleaner than snow, her small nose was slightly red from the wind for a long time, her slender neck was covered by thick rabbit fur, and her cloak was ankle-lengthening.

"Song Daoren, is that girl a goblin?" Xiao Jingheng's eyes lingered on Su Jingtang's face, and he couldn't help but ask.

He said it very softly, but the girl was two feet away, but she heard it, and gave him a blank look.

The guard driving the car saw her like this, raised his whip and waved it in mid-air: "Presumptuous! Don't kneel yet! ”

She raised her index finger in displeasure, and the four horses raised their hooves, and the people in the carriage flipped on their backs.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what is the matter? ”

The carriage behind hurriedly stopped, and they got out of the carriage and ran over.

"You're the first one who dares to make me kneel!" Su Jingtang held the knotted fragrant flower and looked at the guard angrily, "If it weren't for my kindness, I would have to pull you down and kick you as a ball!" ”

The chief of the guard came over with a few middle-aged Taoist priests and anxiously asked the guards who were driving, "What's the matter?" ”

The driving guard woke up from the chaos, sat up and pointed at Su Jingtang: "This person is disrespectful to His Majesty, and he is challenging the emperor's might!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jingheng pushed open the carriage door, jumped down in the panic of everyone, and patted the wrinkled hem of his clothes.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Everyone rushed up, and Xiao Jingheng raised his hand to stop it.

Goshi and Lao Dao followed.

"Look at it, this girl is a human or a demon, how can she be alone in the wilderness." Yu Shi held the official hat on his head with one hand, and pointed to Su Jingtang with the other.

The three Taoist priests in their thirties came to the scene one after another, and took out the guys who ate by themselves from their burdens, such as rattles, jade plates, and demon ropes.

"Where is the demon, quickly manifest!" Several Taoist priests rushed to get close to Su Jingtang.

Xiao Jingheng saw that Su Jingtang was motionless, and raised his voice: "Don't frighten the girl, don't act rashly!" ”

One of the Taoist priests said: "Yes, this person is coming strangely, just on the way that His Majesty must pass, I'm afraid there is something strange." ”

The second Taoist priest also said, "I feel an inhuman aura in her!" ”

Su Jingtang's gaze swept over the things in the hands of each Taoist priest, swept over Xiao Jingheng's face, and paused on Lao Dao's body.

She felt the aura in this old way.

Lao Dao only met Su Jingtang's eyes for a moment, then put his right hand into his sleeve, and then his face was tense and silent.

"Uninteresting." Su Jingtang put the fragrant flower in his hand into his sleeve, reached out and picked off the other handful, and kept putting it into his sleeve, not taking them in his eyes at all.

When the Taoist priests saw that her sleeves were like a bottomless pit, they shouted: "There are ghosts! As he spoke, he raised his magic weapon in unison, "The monster appears quickly!" ”

The wind blew through the snow, stiffening the hand of the imperial historian holding the umbrella, and also laughing at the young emperor who did not know the danger.

The Taoist priest was embarrassed and slapped the rattle in his hand: "What kind of thing, why did the thing I spent a lot of money to make suddenly break?" ”

"What's wrong with my jade plate?" Several Taoist priests scolded and sweated profusely, for fear that the emperor would blame him.

Lao Dao closed his eyes and had a headache: "Create evil." ”

Yushi shamelessly asked, "What do you mean?" ”
