Chapter 22
Ji Xiaoguang is a little tired, this princess is in good spirits. After chatting for a day, I didn't feel tired, from astronomy to geography, from folk to the palace, from men to women, there was nothing to talk about.
This is the sleeping princess who hasn't spoken for three hundred years, and she has to finish what she has to say for three hundred years as soon as she opens her mouth.
However, what interested Ji Xiaoguang was the gossip in the palace.
It turned out that this princess was Tan Peixuan, the sister of Tan Fei, the prince of Tanguo, who Ji Xiaoguang was looking for, and she was seventeen years old this year. Tan Pei Yao told him how her second brother became the prince and how he was in charge of the country's politics. What's even more gossipy is that the prince likes a princess in Shangshan Country, and he likes it very much, thinking about it day and night. It's just that the princess has no feelings for him, and she doesn't care about him, which makes him very uncomfortable. Several times he sent envoys to Shanguo to marry unsuccessfully, so that he turned into hatred because of love, and vowed to destroy Shanguo after he could master the state affairs, teach them a lesson, and breathe a sigh for himself. The purpose of Ji Xiaoguang's trip is the prince, so he is particularly interested in this topic. He asked Tan Peixuan: "What about your father, the emperor, ignoring the government?"
"My father is old and in poor health, and the crown prince takes care of all the affairs of the military state and government, so I am really worried that he will start a war for that prince in a fit of anger. If that were the case, the people would be in trouble. Tan Peixuan's expression was slightly helpless at this time, and she sighed.
"If that's the case, it's not good. I didn't expect the princess to have such breasts at a young age.. Bosom. Ji Xiaoguang paused here for nothing, and was pinched hard by Tan Peixuan, and he screamed in pain.
"What are you in your head?" asked Tan Pei Xuan.
"The princess spoke like a man, and that man often said that about me. Ji Xiaoguang said, he didn't understand how another person could call him that.
"Who else, it turns out that you are really a nasty embryo, this princess and that person are really heroes. ”
"I won't tell you. By the way, where is your prince, I want to find him. Ji Xiaoguang then remembered the matter.
"What, do you want to see the prince? You don't know where you come from, do you think the prince can see you casually?" Tan Peixuan felt that this person in front of him was really outrageous enough.
"I didn't see it casually, I just wanted you to show me, princess. ”
"Who do you think you are, do we know each other very well, this princess doesn't know if you are a good person or a bad person. If it is an enemy country that comes to assassinate me, will it not affect the people of my country? ”
"Hey, do I look like a bad person, look at my appearance, I look honest. Ji Xiaoguang pointed to his face and said to Pei Ying with a little pride.
"Yo, with your appearance, you can also take it out and talk about it, I talk a lot about the country, up to the prince and prince, down to the guarding people, that man doesn't compare you to ten streets, don't talk about it, I'm going to laugh off my big teeth." Tan Peixuan said as she smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
"You ......" Ji Xiaoguang was angry, and was hit by this little girl's self-esteem, and felt internally injured: "Do you take me to see it, don't take me to yourself." "As he spoke, he looked like he was going to go.
"You go by yourself, do you know how to get to this palace, do you know where the prince lives, do you know that you may be taken away by the palace guards as soon as you go out?" Tan Peixuan asked three times in a row, and Ji Xiaoguang, who asked, was speechless. Indeed, he didn't know, but what could he do, something went wrong, someone had to remedy it.
"What can I do, you don't help, you don't have enough friends. ”
"Do you really regard Princess Ben as a friend?" Tan Pei Xuan's heart was hot when she heard the word "friend".
She has never had friends in this palace, and no one dares to treat her as a friend, and every day is very boring. Now there is a strange man who has not been with her for long but regards her as a friend.
So she stood up, took Ji Xiaoguang's hand and said, "Go, I'll take you there." You said that you treated me as a friend, but you can't talk without talking. ”
"Thank you princess, you are such a good person, it is my Gao Pan who treats you as a friend, I hope the princess does not dislike it. Ji Xiaoguang was very surprised to see that Tan Pei Xuan was so refreshing. Walk through several corridors, walk over a rockery, and finally cross the bridge over the lake to see an unusually imposing palace by the lake. Tan Peixuan pointed to the palatial palace in front of her and said, "This is the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my country, go quickly." ”
Ji Xiaoguang looked at it, it was really solemn, atmospheric, extravagant, and there were three words on it: 'Flower Palace'. But isn't there a lot of guards standing in front of the palace, and you go alone?
He hesitated.
He looked at Tan Pei Xuan and said, "Princess, won't you go in with me?" Besides, there are so many guards who let me in?" After speaking, I could only hear Tan Pei Ying standing next to her 'giggle', which was very cute.
"Kidding you, stupid, it's all here, I'm tired of taking one or two steps. Tan Pei Xuan said as she walked to the front to lead the way, "Come, follow." ”
"Quickly report to the prince that this princess has something to look for him. Tan Pei Xuan said to the guards in front of the palace.
Not long after, the guard came out and sent a message to the princess to come in. Tan Peixuan glanced at Ji Xiaoguang and said, "Go in." ”
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As soon as Tan Peixuan entered, she was greeted by a tall, handsome, young and good-looking man. Ji Xiaoguang immediately followed the princess and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the next Ji Xiaoguang." ”
"You, Ji Xiaoguang. Tan Fei looked at Ji Xiaoguang, as if he was observing an object he had seen, and Ji Xiaoguang was inexplicably wonderful, and even Tan Peixuan felt strange.
"Prince, do you know Ji Xiaoguang?" Tan Peixuan asked.
"See you for the first time. The prince replied.
"Why do you pretend to be like you've known each other for 800 years, and it scares me. It's mysterious. ”
"Dare to ask the prince why he is watching like this. Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but ask.
"Hahaha......" The prince laughed without speaking.
"Brother Prince, what are you laughing at. What are you hiding and don't tell me?" Seeing the prince like this, Tan Peixuan didn't know whether to be angry or coquettish. From Ji Xiaoguang's point of view, the prince gave him the feeling that he should be a rational and decent person for the first time, not like Tan Peixuan said that he would rashly start a war with another country because of a woman.
"Prince Ben has heard your name, so... Hahaha. The prince replied, thinking that he could solve their confusion, but he did not expect them to be even more confused.
"Brother Prince, what did you say, how could you have heard his name? You just said that it was the first time you saw him. Is he famous, then why haven't I heard of it. Or who gave you a dream and introduced him to you. ”
Ji Xiaoguang was also about to ask, and was just about to speak. The prince clapped his hands a few times, and a person came out of the inner hall.
Drifting Spirit?
Ji Xiaoguang was even more puzzled, how did Piao Ling'er get in, and he also found Tan Fei by himself first. I have a recommendation from Pei Xuan, which should be considered very fast. And since Piao Ling'er has arrived here, it means that the matter of sending the letter has been completed, but why is she still staying in the prince's bedroom.
Did they sleep?
Ji Xiaoguang thought about it again, it was too stingy to spend the belly of a gentleman like this.
He just couldn't understand why Drifting Ling'er wanted to avoid himself to complete the task alone.
"Brother, are you a treasure in the Golden House of the Flower Palace? You don't like the princess of the Dining Kingdom anymore?" Tan Pei Yao was very surprised when she saw a woman who came out of it, thinking that the prince had come out of his previous relationship.
"Pei Xuanxiu wants to talk nonsense, this is an envoy sent from a neighboring country, Miss Ling'er. The prince said.
"Oh, it's so good-looking, even the name is so good-looking, when does even the messenger need such high requirements?" Tan Pei Ying was very much when she saw Piao Ling'er, and she kept 'tsk' and praised: "This beauty is about to catch up with this princess, and this name is almost better than this princess's 'Pei Xuan'." Drifting Ling'er almost laughed when she heard it, and the prince Tan Fei and Ji Xiaoguang had already laughed clearly. I thought she was praising people, and she dared to love in order to praise herself.
"But what's going on with all this?" Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Ji, no wonder you are confused, this prince will inform a few people about this matter now. The prince then began to narrate endlessly, and as soon as the box was opened, it was on par with Tan Peixuan.
"Actually, before the two of you came, your Princess Nangong Yang communicated with this prince. The corners of the prince's mouth rose slightly, and a sense of confidence was born.
"Brother Prince, you actually corresponded with the princess of the Shan Kingdom? Is it the princess you can't marry? You are not blocking your breath and want to start a war against the Shan Kingdom, but you can still contact in private, what is the situation, tell this princess quickly. "Tan Pei Xuan is simply a needle, and he interjects as soon as there is a pause, and every sentence is compelling. It can be seen that the prince seems to be helpless to have such a sister.
"Why does it turn out that the prince likes Princess Jiayang, what is the festival between the two countries..."Ji Xiaoguang suddenly remembered what Nangong Yang had said to him, the festival between the two countries may trigger the invasion of the country. Tan Pei Ying also told him that the prince was angry because he couldn't marry the princess of the dining country, and the daring was caused by these two people.
"Haha... At that time, it was just a momentary angry talk, and at that time, the crown prince had not yet become the crown prince. If this happens, it will have to be a loss of face. Since the crown prince was in charge of the government, he knew that it was not easy to maintain such a large country, so how could he start a war lightly. The prince said as he walked a few steps. continued: "This prince and Princess Yang have already released their suspicions, and what happened before was really a misunderstanding, and now this prince and Princess Yang are very good. Moreover, Princess Yang sent a letter to clarify the current crisis in the country, and asked me to talk about the country's help in solving the crisis. I have promised to get back to her soon. ”
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Drifting Ling'er didn't open her mouth for a long time, and suddenly expressed her gratitude to the prince.
"But, Brother Prince, are you still marrying Princess Yang?" Pei Xuan has been entangled in this matter, and she is very embarrassed without asking.
"Good news, do you know what the letter sent to me by Princess Yang said, and Prince Ben is not afraid to tell you. ”
"What is it, tell me quickly. ”
"What's the matter?" Ji Xiaoguang also asked curiously.
"Where's Miss Ling'er, don't you want to know?"
"I want to. Ling'er replied lightly.
"Haha, happy event, happy event, great happy event. The prince was so happy that he didn't talk about it for a long time. Tan Pei Ying couldn't help it, grabbed the prince's hand and shook it and asked, "What kind of happy event is it, are you pregnant?" Brother prince, you can't stop selling Guanzi, there are guests here, and you are not ashamed." ”
"Poof.." Drifting Ling'er couldn't help but laugh when she heard Tan Pei Ying say that she was not pregnant. Seeing everyone looking at her and laughing, she quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, but everyone could see the blush on her face.
"Hehe, Sister Ling'er is really good when she laughs. May I ask Sister Ling'er, are you Ji Xiaoguang's wife?" Tan Pei Xuan really talked about everything, Ji Xiaoguang was so anxious that he wanted to find a hole to drill into. He didn't dare to look at her in front of so many people, but he secretly complained in his heart.
"Who said this," Drifting Ling'er immediately became serious: "What shameless nonsense." Saying that, he looked at Ji Xiaoguang, Ji Xiaoguang didn't dare to look at her squarely, and his eyes pretended to look away.
"The two of you are really talented and beautiful. However, you should all envy the prince Ben, Princess Yang has agreed to our marriage, and the marriage will be completed when the matter is completed. The prince added a little more joy to them while they were all happy. But when his voice fell, no one was happy, but they all put on an expression of 'how is it possible', 'is it true', and 'don't be funny'. Seeing that they were all surprised, the prince said quite proudly: "Don't believe it, the letters sent by several people have already explained this matter. ”
"But what must be done to get married? Is it willingly, or is it a political marriage of the deal. Tan Peixuan asked.
"It's true, as for what to do, I can't talk about it for the time being. ”
Ji Xiaoguang has his own opinion on this matter. He thinks it's true. Because if you want to borrow troops, you must make a little sacrifice. Besides, the festival between the two countries is because of them, and if they don't get married, how can they be easily resolved. Princess Yang is an assertive person who dares to do and fight. He was even willing to commit himself to the false emperor in order to be considerate, and he believed that she had done this kind of compromise.
"If that's the case, it's boring. Tan Peixuan was not interested in the transaction when she heard it, so she wanted to pull Ji Xiaoguang away, and when she saw that Ji Xiaoguang didn't move, she asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Wait, it's just that there is still one thing that is still unclear, if you don't solve this confusion in your heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep. Ji Xiaoguang waved his hand at Pei Xuan, turned around and said to the prince and Piao Ling'er.
"Brother Ji doesn't know what else is going on, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"What's the matter with you?"
"Why did you suddenly disappear when you were at the inn, did you deliberately avoid me, and how did you leave the inn, I asked the shopkeeper, and said that I had never seen you leave. Ji Xiaoguang said his heart directly, and his mood was open.
"Miss Ling'er, you come and tell him. The prince stretched out his hand and asked Ling'er to solve Ji Xiaoguang's doubts.
"Some of the people sent to the inn that day were sent by the prince, and it is not clear whether there were others. No one saw me leave because I was disguised as a local at the Prince's orders, and disguised myself as one of the people sent by the Prince. The prince left one of them to stay in my room, and when I left with them, the people in the room jumped out of the window. ”
"Why all the trouble?"
"It's just to be an illusion. Make people think I'm leaving the window and you're just there to get their attention. The people who were following us were following us as soon as we got out of the dining country. Therefore you must know that one of you and I must have a letter from the Princess. If you've been there and don't know I'm not there. They will turn their attention to you. Even if they find someone running away from the window, that person is fake. Because I have long since left, and I have even been escorted into the palace by the prince's people. So without telling you, that's it. You're just sent by the princess to get their attention, who would focus on a woman who looks weak, and if she's gone, she's gone. Speaking of this, Ling'er paused slightly and asked Ji Xiaoguang: "Now you understand." ”
Ji Xiaoguang nodded and shook his head again. Seeing this, Ling'er asked, "Do you understand or not?" ”
"I don't seem to understand, that is, I am a decoy, attracting enemy firepower. Ji Xiaoguang said with an aggrieved face.
"When are we going back?"
"Don't go back for the time being, stay in Tanguo. ”
"Stay?" Ji Xiaoguang questioned again.
"What's the matter, I have left you wronged? Don't you like me to talk about the country, so you have to leave in a hurry. Tan Pei Ying didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly forcibly intervened in the conversation between the two.
"Yes, the princess has an order. We stayed for the time being, and when the prince was ready to welcome the family, we returned to the country with the family. ”
"Kissing?"
"Of course, we went back to Shanguo to take Princess Yang out. If the identity of the princess wants to come out on her own, it is not easy to talk about it. If the two countries become in-laws, there is no legitimate reason for the country to stop Princess Yang, only the princess comes out, and things will be much easier. ”
"Then it's time to go. Ji Xiaoguang asked, he was worried that not only would Yang Gonggong marry here, but I was afraid that even Piao Ling'er would marry here if it was too late.
"Please rest assured, I will personally handle the matter of welcoming relatives, and it will not take too long. The prince approached them and said confidently.
"Let's go, don't talk about it. Tan Peixuan couldn't stay for a moment, and pulled Ji Xiaoguang to leave.
"Where are you going, where are you going?"
"Pei Yao Palace. ”
Ji Xiaoguang was reluctant to drift Ling'er, looked at her with concern, and was helplessly pulled out of the door by Pei Yao.
Drifting Ling'er looked at Ji Xiaoguang, who was leaving with Princess Pei Xuan, and suddenly felt a sense of loss and emptiness in her heart.
She didn't know why, and she didn't bother to care why.
