The weather was a little overcast on this day, and there was an oppressive dullness in the air, and a dark cloud hung over the capital, as if a downpour could come at any time.

Xi Yuan, who had not heard any news for a long time, was finally going to enter the Great Yan Imperial City to negotiate peace, nearly a month later than the original time was promised.

Although the ministers of the DPRK and China have quite a few complaints, since they are here to seek peace, it is not good to make a seizure at this moment. Besides, it's interesting to see others hovering on the line of surrendering or not surrendering.

The blackened Dayan courtiers did not forget to spread their hands while watching from the wall, saying that they were actually a very friendly group of people.

Jiang Fenghao, who came back from the holiday, went to the court early in the morning, and He Xiaoqiao, who had officially become the princess of Changning, also carried a vegetable basket with great interest and led her fixed combination to kill the East Street shortly after he went out.

Although the palace has a fixed procurement channel, she still likes to go to the street to pick what she needs, and shopping for groceries is one of her few pleasures in life.

There is not much privacy to talk about in the capital, especially Jiang Fenghao once justified her name in such a high-profile manner on the street, according to the speed of gossip spread, in the past two months, He Xiaoqiao has successfully ascended to the position and become the most well-known Celestial Dynasty version of Cinderella.

However, the adventure of the sparrow turning into a phoenix did not affect her good popularity on East Street.

"Morning, little girl!" Fishmonger Liu Dabao was still holding a live fish in his hand, and when he saw He Xiaoqiao and his party, he hurriedly greeted enthusiastically, "What do you want to do today?" Bighead carp or mandarin fish? Hairtail fish too! Or some more white strips? It's all freshly caught this morning, and it's very fresh! ”

"Why do you still call someone else's girl, you want to call the princess." Liu Dabao's wife, Yingniang, scolded her husband, and while greeting He Xiaoqiao, she motioned him to pay attention to the wording, now that He Xiaoqiao has married a wife and combed the woman's hair, it is very inappropriate to call others 'girl'.

When He Xiaoqiao got married before, the couple was also invited to the banquet, and they were very impressed by the grand wedding.

"Yes, yes, it's the princess, the princess!" Liu Dabao asked his mother-in-law to remind him, and then he suddenly slapped the back of his head as if he had an understanding, "Look at my mouth, I always can't remember to change my mouth...... Don't mind, Princess! ”

He Xiaoqiao pursed his lips and smiled, "It's okay, everyone still has to get used to it." ”

There were so many people who called her princess along the way, even if the people in the palace did, but it sounded awkward to outsiders calling her like this, as if she was deliberately trying to show off in the name - although she did want to do it sometimes.

picked two of the fattest rice fish and some prawns, paid for Liu Dabao to put them aside first, and waited for him to come back to get them, He Xiaoqiao and his party continued to walk forward.

On the road, if you meet a good friend, you will stop and chatter, and the children who often run around East Street are even more happy to see her coming, and they all surround and shout affectionately for their sister to eat candy without saying a word.

Cai Lian and the others had long been accustomed to this situation, and hurriedly took out the prepared candy and desserts and distributed them to everyone, coaxing a group of children to obey, which made everyone on Dongdajie even more admirable.

East Street is a serious meat and vegetable market, although it is not necessarily mixed on weekdays, but after all, it is indispensable to be dirty, and there has never been a lady who is willing to set foot in it, even the maids of large families rarely come over, but He Xiaoqiao, the princess of the Eight Classics, has never been a noble member of the clan, and she is happy to run here to patronize their business.

For such a close and talkative princess, it would be absolutely a lie to say that she didn't have a good feeling, as can be seen from the sincere smiles on their faces and the act of giving them something good from time to time as an add-on.

The group walked for a while, and when they were about to go back, they found that many people on the road were running to the next street, and they were all gearing up with excited looks, as if some rare thing had fallen from the sky on the other side.

He Xiaoqiao immediately thought of Lan Xin - the last time she appeared on the chariot of the Hundred Flowers Parade, didn't she attract thousands of empty alleys with the appearance of one person?

But after all, she has had a relationship, she has never heard Lan Xin mention any major activities recently, so she can basically be excluded, and I think there should be something else new.

has always loved to join in the fun, He Xiaoqiao let the curious insect baby in his heart scratch his whole body, and without saying a word, he stepped forward to stop a passer-by who looked more kind and asked, "This uncle, what happened ahead?" Why did I just see a lot of people running over there? ”

The middle-aged man who was inexplicably stopped was dressed in a plain white robe, with a square scarf on his head, like a Confucian student, and first looked He Xiaoqiao up and down when he heard the words, and saw that although she was dressed plainly, it was difficult to hide the nobility on her body, and then looked at the maid and the tall bodyguard who followed her, knowing that this person must be the wife of a big family, and he didn't dare to provoke much in words, so he arched his hand politely, and pointed to the mouth of the connected alley and explained, "Madame doesn't know, today is a big day for Xiyuan to enter Beijing to discuss peace, Now the envoys have passed the city gate, and they are on Qinglong Street at this moment, and they are preparing to go to the palace. ”

"West Dollar?" He Xiaoqiao looked dazed, isn't that the Gregorian era?

Seeing this, Bai Shou hurriedly gave her a simple popular science, "Xiyuan is a northern barbarian country, fierce and cunning by nature, and has always disturbed the border of our DPRK. ”

"I see!"

He Xiaoqiao suddenly realized, no wonder everyone was so excited just now, they dared to go with the intention of watching the excitement and beating the water dogs.

After thanking the Confucian student, He Xiaoqiao bit his fingers and stood in place for a while, and then waved his hand eagerly, "Go!" Let's also go and see what Xiyuan people look like! ”

If you don't have a fun time with such a fun thing, it's really too bad for the ancient times!

As soon as they said go, the four people who were full of action soon followed the crowd and also walked towards Qinglong Street.

Qinglong Street leads directly to the Imperial City, and it is the only main road in the capital that leads directly to the Imperial Palace. At this moment, there were already officers and soldiers on the side of the street in a row, holding spears and crossing them to block the lively people, separating a passage more than five meters wide for the Xiyuan mission.

is different from He Xiaoqiao's imagination, although Xiyuan is in the north, his appearance is not much different from that of Dayan, there is no high nose and deep eyes, and there is no strange hairstyle, at most he is dressed coolly, both men and women have their arms and legs exposed, the hem of their clothes only hangs down to their knees, and under them is a pair of boots that can wrap their calves.

And I don't know if Xi Yuan is intentional or unintentional, the men in the envoy team are all tall and big muscles are entangled, and they look powerful and domineering, obviously they grew up in the protein pile since they were children - in other words, they don't eat less meat!

If you want to say that among the onlookers, only Hong Fang, a big man of nearly two meters, can compare with others.

There are too many people watching the excitement, the street is crowded, He Xiaoqiao has the shadow of getting lost with Jiang Fenghao last time, so he naturally won't get too close at this time, just let Bai Shou help send her and Cailian to the wall of a nearby family to sit, quite a bit of a taste of standing high and seeing far.

The guard of honor of the Xiyuan mission passed through Qinglong Street in a mighty way, and the twenty-eight people in front of them carried a large flag with the mark of the Xiyuan in the first formation, and behind the flag-bearer was a group of people wearing hideous ghost masks, only to see that they were wearing bright clothes with half of their arms exposed, and they were holding something like a black horn in their hands and walking and dancing rhythmically, and the horns were probably decorated with bells, and the bells sounded crisply, which looked like a dance to drive away ghosts and epidemics, which was quite interesting.

Following the Wu Dance Team, nearly a dozen or so men on tall horses also drove their horses to follow slowly, and the one who was skillfully surrounded by everyone was a young man in his twenties, with a handsome face and a tall figure, but his demeanor was slightly frivolous.

Seeing him sitting on horseback like a mobile generator, constantly throwing flattering eyes at the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the road, the corners of He Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched, turned his head to look at Bai Shou, and nodded unceremoniously with one hand, "That male peacock who lives like he has never seen a woman in eight lifetimes is their eldest prince?" ”

Obviously, He Xiaoqiao's evaluation reached Bai Shou and Hong Fang's hearts, and the two of them nodded their heads together to give affirmation, "That's right, it's him!" ”

I heard that the eldest prince Hu Yanxu is still the next heir of the Western Yuan, and with such a monarch, the future of the Western Yuan ...... It's worrying!

He Xiaoqiao sighed, but didn't pay attention to him anymore, and was attracted by the dancers with neat and uniform movements with fluttering sleeves behind him.

The dancers with exquisite makeup are also wearing open-sleeved outfits, but they have an extra Asara water sleeve wrapped around their arms than others, and when they dance collectively, it seems to set off a layer of undulating white waves.

The dancers are all barefoot, with bells tied to their thin white ankles, different from the previous sacrificial dance bells, their every move has a charming taste, and then from time to time a ninety-degree waist looks back and smiles, which is really eye-catching.

Many men in the crowd of onlookers began to swallow their saliva, their eyes widened, as if they wanted to pull the long sleeve of water floating in front of their eyes, and by the way, they also pulled the owner of the sleeve and brought it home.

Even He Xiaoqiao was very interested, and his eyes lit up and he discussed with Cailian that he would get a set of such outfits to play with when he went back. Hong Fang listened to it next to him and thought it was interesting, so he also gossiped over, preparing to get a set for his daughter-in-law of Yinhua, and let her wear it for herself when the door was closed.

A few people were discussing energetically, but they heard a few screams from the crowd one after another, "The horse is startled, run!" ”

He Xiaoqiao was shocked, and was about to turn her head, but found that Bai Shou, who was originally standing beside her, had rushed out like lightning.

After looking closely, I found that the white head actually fell in the middle of the Xiyuan Mission, and at this moment the face was cold, holding a little boy who seemed to be completely stunned in one hand, and the other hand was firmly pulling the reins of a jujube red horse in an invincible posture and pressing down, forcing the horse to raise its front hooves high and neighing incessantly to calm down.

There was silence for a while, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause, and the onlookers all applauded without hesitation.

He Xiaoqiao's mouth opened slightly, obviously also suppressed by Bai Shou's sudden outburst of Wang Ba's anger.

As for the big girls and little daughters-in-law who witnessed this scene on the street, they all stared at each other with round eyes, and they all looked at the domineering white head in the middle of the street with their handkerchiefs in their hands, and there was only one sentence in their hearts, that is: handsome-stayed!
