Fang Linyuan wasn't afraid of her.

As far as he is concerned, the only holy decree he received was to safely bring Princess Saihan to Shangjing. Now that she has arrived safely, he doesn't have to do anything, and it is just for the sake of Daxuan's face to deal politely at this time.

So, without saying much, he only bowed his head slightly, took a step back towards her without losing his manners, and said.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there is an adult from Honglu Temple in the embassy to answer, and the last general will retire."

As he spoke, he bowed his hand slightly towards Princess Saihan, and then raised his hand to take the reins from the guard beside him.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Just as he turned around, Saihan asked in a loud voice behind him.

She seems to be unwilling.

In the same sentence, she also asked outside the city gate of the Tiger Prison two years ago.

The girl who was lifted up to the clouds in the Turks had never been rejected like this, and when she was expelled outside the city gate, a pair of eyes stared at Fang Linyuan and asked him if he had anything to say.

At that time, Fang Linyuan didn't look back, but only raised his hand and asked the soldiers guarding the city to close the door.

When the city gate was closed in front of her, Fang Linyuan said lightly inside the door.

"Go back, there are wolves after dark."

And to this day, when Fang Linyuan hears this again, his face still does not change.

He really never thought too much about the other party, and no matter how much he brought up the old things, he couldn't hear the deep meaning.

Still, he did have something to say.

He tilted his head slightly, and although he said what he said to Saihan, his eyes were calm, and he faintly swept over several Turkic envoys beside her.

"Then the general wishes that when the mission is in Beijing, everything will be peaceful, and there will be no more villains who will set fire to my subjects with their faces masked and hurt our subjects."

When he said this, he was talking about the chaos caused by the previous bandits in Beijing.

saw that the envoys were all stunned, and then exchanged glances silently.

And Saihan, who was next to him, seemed to have heard some joke.

"How could we do such a sinister thing?" She stepped forward and raised her chin.

"Besides, even if you want to, my warrior on the grassland will not be shy to cover his face."

Her tone was confident and arrogant, and the expressions of the envoys next to her were also a little intriguing.

Fang Linyuan's gaze paused slightly on their faces.

Don't any of them know?

Keeping his doubts in his mind, he withdrew his gaze without a trace, smiled and nodded to the envoys, then took his horse and turned and left along the martial law street.

Everywhere they passed, the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards all saluted with swords in their hands, with solemn and respectful expressions.

Behind him, Saihan stood in front of the embassy, watching his back.

The officials in the embassy had already led the crowd to greet her, and seeing her standing outside the door hesitating, they hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, is there anything wrong?" ”

Saihan turned his head, wolf-like eyes quietly looking at him.

"Nothing." She looked at ease. "I've just never seen such a bustling and wide street."

The official was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "It's Weichen's negligence!" If the princess is interested, these days Weichen can arrange for his subordinates to visit the capital with the princess, and if there are any prosperous and beautiful places, they can take the princess to see it. ”

Saihan smiled when he heard this, turned his head, and the moment he entered the embassy, he glanced in the direction where Fang Linyuan had left.

Then he saw that the general who was leading his horse had already arrived at the corner of the street.

At some point there was a horse-drawn carriage parked, carved in mahogany, brocade on all sides, and the bells on the corners of the eaves swayed gently in the wind.

She saw Fang Linyuan laughing.

He handed the reins to the man beside him, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted from it, and he turned back and smiled at the man in the carriage.

It's a woman, Ayara, with a head full of pearls.

She was born very beautifully, and from a distance, you can see the grace and luxury unique to a Han woman. Her eyebrows were softly drawn, but her eyes were sharp, and when she lowered her eyes to talk to the general outside the car, she inadvertently raised her eyes and collided with Saihan's gaze.

Guard, scrutiny, and scrutiny.

She knows her!

In that moment, Saihan confirmed one thing.

She watched the general leap into the carriage with a light posture, and watched the curtain of the window that the woman's eyes swept over her.

A calm and contemptuous appearance, as if he was watching his subordinates defeated.

Immediately, the fierce instinct in Saihan's blood immediately surged.

What is the best son of the prairie and put aside for now, she wants to see where this woman's excellence is.

This person is the first person who can compare her to the other.

——

"Ah, why are you here!"

Fang Linyuan didn't expect Zhao Pu to come here to pick him up.

But seeing Zhao Pu's delicate makeup and beautiful dress, Fang Linyuan looked at him, thinking that he had just gone to some banquet, and he happened to be passing by, right?

Fang Linyuan only felt that it was too coincidental.

I saw Zhao Pu pause slightly: "I happened to be passing by, so I stopped here and waited for a while." ”

Fang Linyuan nodded when he heard this.

The light in the carriage was a little dim, and the complexion and demeanor of the people were not very distinct. Fang Linyuan looked at Zhao Pu, and always felt that he seemed to be a little green at the moment.

He looked at it twice, but he couldn't see it clearly.

That's it.

With Zhao Pu's heart, there can't be anything that can make him sleep all night, right?

Then, I heard Zhao Pu ask, "How was it on the road today?" ”

Fang Linyuan immediately smiled and said, "It's all too peaceful." In short, I only wanted to protect their safety, and I didn't meet bandits along the way, so it must have been a good result of Chongzhou's suppression of bandits. ”

Seeing that Zhao Pu nodded, paused for a moment, and asked again, "She didn't pester you?" ”

"That's not it!" Fang Linyuan didn't see Zhao Pu's desire to speak and stop tempting, and said calmly and honestly.

"Xu is also two years older, she is a lot more cautious now. Just a few more words with me, it didn't make a difference. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan immediately reacted to something.

"You're waiting for me here, aren't you afraid I'll run into some trouble?" He turned his head to look at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu didn't answer for a while.

If he doesn't answer, he acquiesces.

Fang Linyuan's eyebrows immediately raised, like a general who had captured the banner on the battlefield.

He caught one of Zhao Pu's little tails again!

But just when he was excited, he turned around to say something......

Somehow, looking at Zhao Pu's soft ayaluo, what appeared around him was the hard and tough touch.

He remembered the last time.

What do you think!

Fang Linyuan was taken aback by himself.

He quickly sat back.

That's it, the carriage is dangling, after all, it's not safe. Two more times, I'm afraid that Zhao Pu will find him strange.

Fang Linyuan sat upright in the same place.

After listening to Zhao Pu pause for a moment, he said: "I'm just afraid that if an accident happens, it will reach the emperor's ears, and he will be suspicious of you." ”

Fang Linyuan pursed his lips a little embarrassed.

Look, Zhao Pu is still carefully considering the gains and losses for him, he is good, and the embarrassing things of the last time are always in his head.

He sat upright, and under strong shame, nodded obediently and solemnly: "You are right! ”

Zhao Pu taught him to be slightly stunned.

He turned his head and saw Fang Linyuan beside him sitting precariously, his hands resting on his knees, and a pair of wet eyes looking at him, like a trained student, looking well-behaved and pitiful.

…… What's going on?

He is clearly the only one here, and there is also a wide Chu River Han border.

Zhao Pu didn't know why, but he was afraid of scaring him, so he only twisted the hand under his sleeve for a while, and resisted the urge to touch the top of his head.

——

Qin Tianjian watched the stars all over the world, and picked the auspicious day of the zodiac ten days later to welcome Saihan into the palace.

And on the first day after this day, Fang Linyuan saw Lin Zimiao again.

He looked thinner than he had been a few days ago, and his spirits were not very good, and there seemed to be a calm black cloud between his eyebrows.

Thinking of what he had been reprimanded by His Majesty a few days ago, Fang Linyuan didn't ask much, only poured him a cup of tea at the garrison and said, "Are you free today?" Wangjianglou recently came to a batch of good wine from Jiangnan, let's try it together? ”

Lin Zimiao shook his head, and when he raised his eyes to look at him, his expression was a little complicated.

After a while, Lin Zimiao took the teacup and drank half of it before he spoke: "I won't drink the wine." I have come today to seek you with something important. ”

"You say." Fang Linyuan hurriedly responded.

"Your Majesty made a special decree last night, the Turkic envoys arrived in the capital, and their movements need to be closely monitored." Lin Zimiao said.

"Your Majesty is worried that the Turkic envoys will collude with the merchants of the Western Regions in Shangjing City and cause chaos in the city again?"

Lin Zimiao nodded.

"Now that the entire embassy is under the surveillance of Jinyiwei, there is no need to worry." Lin Zimiao said. "But there are a large number of merchants from the Western Regions in North City, and they need to be handed over to you Sixteen Guards."

Fang Linyuan immediately understood, nodded and said, "Okay, it's not a difficult matter. If there is any change in any merchant, I will send someone to inform Jinyiwei. ”

Lin Zimiao responded.

Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan paused slightly, and said, "But...... Is Your Majesty really so suspicious? ”

Lin Zimiao looked at him.

"Yesterday, when I sent the Turkic princess to Beijing, I asked in front of the embassy." Fang Linyuan's eyebrows sank slightly, remembered for a moment, and said.

"But I saw their expressions, just confused, but not panicked, as if they didn't know anything about the events of the day."

Fang Linyuan knew that such a guess was very arbitrary, but according to his understanding of the Turkic people, if those reckless barbarians had ghosts in their hearts, after he asked abruptly, they should never have such good concentration.

He was also a little hesitant when he said this, but Lin Zimiao's eyes condensed slightly when he looked at him.

"Did you fool them up?" He asked.

Fang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "Not really." I warned them before leaving, but I didn't ask anything. ”

Lin Zimiao was silent again.

For a moment, he sighed, and when he looked at Fang Linyuan again, his eyes were extremely serious.

"Lin Yuan, do you remember what I said to you that day?" He said. "Before you go to Jibei."

Fang Linyuan was slightly stunned.

I saw Lin Zimiao leaning over slightly and said to him slowly and solemnly.

"Your Majesty thinks highly of you." He said. "You just have to do your part, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Fang Linyuan looked at him and didn't say anything for a moment.

Lin Zimiao's face was not very good, but a pair of eyes looked at him with burning eyes, and the seriousness and solemnity in it were something Fang Linyuan had never seen.

…… What has he been through these days?

For a moment, Fang Linyuan's lips moved slightly, but he nodded first.

"Okay." He said. "I see."

——

With Lin Zimiao's advice, Fang Linyuan was only afraid that something big would happen, and in the next few days, he was strict and cautious, patrolling the entire Shangjing City to the fullest.

And the entire North City, until the day Saihan entered the palace, there has been no change

Came.

The palace banquet held for Saihan was set up in the Hanchun Palace.

On this day, when it was getting late, Fang Linyuan and Zhao Pu's carriage stopped outside the Tianji Gate.

Even if the princess's summer clothes are made of the lightest Danyun yarn, there are seven or eight layers inside and outside, and it is a little cumbersome to wear on the body.

Not far away, it was the fourth princess Zhao Pei who walked down from the carriage, and a thin layer of sweat was already floating on her delicate makeup, and when she led the eunuch to salute her, her eyebrows were still caged in displeasure.

Fang Linyuan helped Zhao Pu get out of the car, and happened to see Li Zhe following her.

He was dressed in the cyan round-necked official robe of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he looked at Xiao Su Qingju from a distance, with a clear literati demeanor.

He also happened to see Fang Linyuan, smiled at Fang Linyuan behind Zhao Pei, and bowed his hand.

When Fang Linyuan was returning the salute, he saw Zhao Pei turn around, although he was smiling at Li Zhe, his subordinates snatched the fan he was holding for her in his hand.

Then, she followed the eunuch who took her and left, without looking back.

Li Zhe turned his head to Fang Linyuan and smiled apologetically, and then quickened his pace to keep up with Zhao Pei's pace.

Fang Linyuan's eyes showed two points of sympathy.

"The Fourth Highness is not satisfied with this marriage, why did he agree to it in the first place?"

Zhao Pu on the side laughed meaninglessly: "The queen's plan, she doesn't appreciate it." ”

Everyone else was in a hurry, and he was like a big ice cube, and his whole body exuded a free cool air, which made the fragrance of osmanthus on his body refreshing and sweet.

It's really a big snake demon.

Fang Linyuan sneered in his heart, but he quietly approached Zhao Pu a little, borrowing him to dissipate the heat on his body.

It's cool in the Hanchun Palace.

This was originally a place specially used by the emperors of the previous dynasty to sing and dance, escape the heat and be cool, and was built on the north bank of the Taiye Pond.

In summer, the breeze blows from the lake, the sparkling waves are reflected in the temple, the curtains are dancing, and there is the lotus fragrance in the door, which is wonderful.

Therefore, there is a carved railing high platform in the middle of the spring hall, and the white jade paves the steps, which is cold and fragrant. Although there is no banquet at this time, there are already dancing girls in the palace dancing on it, and the gauze sleeves are flying, which is intertwined with the clear waves on the Taiye Pool outside the door.

As soon as Fang Linyuan entered the hall, he already felt a cool breeze blowing.

Even though the hall was already noisy and the clothes and temples were staggered, it didn't look stuffy and cramped.

"It's so cool here!" He whispered to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Pu remained silent, only slightly tilting his head.

Wind wheels have been set up all over the hall, which is a summer tradition in the palace.

The fan blades of the wind wheels inlaid with gold and treasures are carved and embroidered with flowers, birds and four seasons, and the beautiful Gong'e standing next to it slowly shakes the wheel. The wind wheel slowly rotated, and the four scenes also rotated and staggered, and for a time it became a unique small scene in the hall.

And Fang Linyuan's attention was all in the banquet.

There is no soup on the table, but there is a brass and gold ice book on the side of each table.

The ice is cold, and the transparent ice cubes are full of fashionable melons and fruits, which are cold and delicious at a glance, but I am afraid that they will taste very sweet.

It's just that the feast has not yet begun, and the fruit is still in the middle of the table, and it has not yet been brought to the table.

So, Fang Linyuan sat down with Zhao Pu on the seat, and the officials and nobles around him exchanged pleasantries, so he sat there bored, secretly counting what fruits were in the ice jian.

Needless to say, the most heat-relieving watermelon will be served by a maid cut into small pieces after a feast. There are also honeydew melons paid tribute from the Western Regions, but they are too sweet to eat in summer, and Fang Linyuan doesn't like them very much.

The Dongkui bayberry in the south looks so purple that it almost drips, and his favorite glazed grape is a western variety, which is crisp and sweet in the mouth, and if you eat two of them, it is a good product to clear away heat and relieve the heat......

At this moment, Zhao Pu next to him touched him gently.

Fang Linyuan turned around and saw Zhao Pu sitting there, his face was flat, and his complexion was so gorgeous that almost all the gold and jade in the hall had lost his color.

"Reach out." I only heard Zhao Pu say softly.

Fang Linyuan didn't know why, but he still spread his hands. Seeing that Zhao Pu's handkerchief was slightly covered, three transparent glazed grapes fell into Fang Linyuan's palm.

Fang Linyuan: !!

It was cold and stiff, which stunned Fang Linyuan.

He looked at Zhao Pu in surprise.

The ice was two feet away from him, and he was silent, how did he get the grapes out of it!

He looked at Zhao Pu in surprise, but saw that Zhao Pu's face did not change, he only lowered his eyes and picked up the tea cup on the table, and the silk handkerchief covered it upright, and then took a sip smoothly and dignifiedly.

Fang Linyuan vaguely read the code in his movements.

He looked at Zhao Pu for a moment, and then the ghost followed with the tea, and with the cover of the teacup, a glass grape fell into his mouth.

…… It's so sweet!

Wait for the cold sweetness to spread between your lips and teeth.

Fang Linyuan's eyes lit up.

But he didn't see Zhao Pu beside him, his eyebrows were calm, his posture was graceful, like a Bodhisattva statue cast by gold and stone, beautiful and cold.

Only the lips hidden behind the green jade tea cup gently raised the corners of their mouths, becoming the only trace of human softness revealed by the golden sculpture all over the body.

——

After the three grapes were all in the mouth, the singing and cheering of the eunuchs came from outside the palace gate, and Emperor Hongyou brought the queen and the concubines into the banquet.

The ministers got up and saluted one after another, and Emperor Hongyou raised his hand with a smile on the high platform: "Everyone loves Qing. ”

The sunset outside the hall gradually faded in color, leaving only a faint red glow on the golden tiles of the cascading palace.

During the banquet, the ministers and nobles sat down one after another, and a eunuch sang, and the Turkic envoys were waiting outside the palace.

Emperor Hongyou and Yan Yuese raised their hands: "Xuan." ”

The sound of silk and bamboo ritual music behind the curtain sounded, and several Turkic envoys who sent off their relatives slowly walked into the hall and saluted Emperor Hongyou.

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, today my Turkic and Daxuan have been married, which is really a great blessing for the two countries!"

The one who was the leader shouted his congratulations.

Seeing Emperor Hongyou smiling, his expression was full of joy, and he raised his hand so that he didn't have to be polite.

And Jiang Hongluan next to him smiled gently, and said softly: "The envoys have a heart." The weather is hot, and the night is getting late, so why don't you invite the princess into the palace and take a seat. ”

Seeing the envoy smile slightly, he said, "Her Royal Highness the princess has a gift for you when she first sees Your Majesty, and I want to give it to you first. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Hongyou showed interest on his face, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "What kind of gift?" ”

I saw several envoys exchange glances, and they all retreated, stopping behind the white jade platform in the hall.

The singing and dancing on the stage stopped for the time being, and only an empty singing and dancing platform remained.

After a few envoys retreated, they smiled lightly, and the sound of silk and bamboo behind the screen also stopped for the time being.

In the silence, a bright red silk suddenly fell from the sky.

With a little whisper of exclamation, the gorgeous woman in red clothes like fire and covered with beaded curtains climbed the red silk in her hands, and the bright red embroidered shoes landed on the high platform with a slight click.

It's Saihan.

She wore an alien dress made of red gauze, her hair was adorned with ruby and gold, and her bright veil fluttered in the gentle breeze. The pearl jade on her face is faintly visible, and above the bead curtain, the deep eyebrows and nose and delicate eyes make it like a fox that has become a spirit, so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly.

Everyone in the audience gasped.

But she didn't care, a pair of stunningly beautiful light-colored eyes, and only looked directly at Emperor Hongyou alone.

The next moment, she put aside the red silk, the golden bell between her wrist and ankle rang, and she took out a tambourine in her slender snow-white hand, and with a beat, it gradually became a drum beat with the dance.

It is a bell drum peculiar to Turkic.

Between the red silks, Saihan on the jade platform gradually entered a better situation. Like a red butterfly flying out of the desert, wild and gorgeous, as well as the coquettishness brought out of the bones, it is naturally bright.

Her dancing skills are also really superb.

For a while, there was silence all around, and even Emperor Hongyou on the high platform could no longer withdraw his gaze, and the amazement in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

On Zhao Pu's side, Fang Linyuan slowly leaned over, lowered his voice, and said in a very low voice.

"It must have been her father's idea." He said.

"Sending it to Daxuan, for them, is no different from sending a singer and dancer, in order to flatter and confuse the Lord."

Zhao Pu glanced at him slightly.

I saw that the audience was full of surprise or amazement, but when Fang Linyuan looked at Saihan, his eyes were as clear as a torch, his eyebrows were solemnly twisted, and his mouth was full of words, all of which were military plans.

Zhao Pu paused slightly and asked, "Don't you think she looks good?" ”

Fang Linyuan looked at him, his expression was reasonable: "Of course it's good-looking, how can you confuse the lord if it's not good-looking?" ”

He praised too objectively and did not carry a little personal emotion.

Zhao Pu: "......." ”

He didn't say anything for a while, and Fang Linyuan in front of him was a little anxious: "What are you laughing at, isn't what I said right?" ”

Is he laughing?

Even Zhao Pu himself didn't realize it.

But he does seem to have some pleasure that comes out of nowhere.

He pressed the corners of his mouth slightly, and after a moment, he slowly removed his gaze from Fang Linyuan's face.

——

The drumbeat on the stage became more and more cramped and high, and finally, it came to an abrupt end in the midst of the red silk flying.

The gorgeous woman on the stage finished dancing with a tambourine in her hand, and the red silk fluttered and fell in front of Emperor Hongyou at the last moment.

Rao is Jiang Hongluan beside him, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Hongyou took the lead in clapping his hands.

"Good!" He exclaimed. "The dance of the princess can really be called like a frightening and graceful dragon!"

Immediately, the sound of praise from all directions came from the temple.

I saw the princess on the stage smiling playfully, and her voice was a little more pleasant than the golden bell.

"I don't understand the poems of the Central Plains, but since Your Majesty said it, I should only praise me." She said.

is coquettish and ignorant of the world, which is just right to cause Emperor Hongyou to laugh.

"The princess dances like this, Your Majesty really wants to reward it." Jiang Hongluan looked at Emperor Hongyou's expression on the side, and smiled at the right time.

"Reward! It's a reward! "Just listen to Emperor Hongyou.

"The Turks accompanied the envoys, and one of them was rewarded with a hundred gold. The princess gave a thousand taels of gold, another eight brocades, five pairs of heads, and was named a concubine, and another title was given 'Yu', how about it? ”

If it is a harem concubine, it should be a surprise to bow to thank you at this time. But Princess Saihan still stood there, as if she was in awe, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, which word is this 'Yu'?" ”

Emperor Hongyou and Yan Yuese patiently explained to her: "Zhong Lingyuxiu's 'Yu', can the princess know?" ”

Saihan shook his head generously.

"I don't understand." She said. "Your Majesty, you have given me a reward that I don't understand, can I ask you for another reward?"

Bright and bold, but he is a fool who doesn't know how to write and ink.

Emperor Hongyou's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he said generously: "Naturally, you can say it." ”

"I've heard that the dance of the Central Plains women is very different from the Turks, but I've never left the steppe, and I haven't had the opportunity to see it."

I saw her raise her head and look at Emperor Hongyou, a pair of aggressive eyes were bright and hooked, and said with a smile.

"Why don't you let Her Royal Highness Princess Huining, the first beauty in Beijing in Daxuan, also dance and compete with me." Please keep in mind: , URL mobile version,
