Chapter 42: Entering the Temple
After the time of half a pillar of incense, I saw a majestic procession slowly walking in the long street.
The team led the way with two splendid sedan chairs carrying two people, the kind of summer sedan chairs with a canopy and a light veil on all sides. Looking through the light veil of the sedan chair, a sedan chair is sitting in the prince of Yuntumo, and in the other sedan chair sits a princess who looks like an eleven or twelve years old, guessing that it is Princess Yuntuyuer.
On the side of the two sedan chairs of the Yuntu royal family, there were courtiers Situ Yumou and others riding high horses to follow.
Xuanyuan Ming sat in front of the general's mansion, the row in front of him was full of people, and there were several linen people on the steps where he was sitting. There was a man with a skewer in his hand, and he asked Xuanyuan Ming while eating skewers. said, "I heard that these are the princes and princesses of the countries of the five continents?"
The man who eats the skewers squirts an unpleasant smell of garlic from his mouth.
Xuanyuan Ming didn't want to pay attention to this person and didn't answer.
The man who ate the skewers couldn't stop commenting, "Oh, the pomp is so big! Look at this prince of clouds and earth is so handsome and handsome." ”
After Yuntu's team passed, Izumizawa's team came again. The person who came was not Prince Izumizawa, but a woman in a dark blue gauze skirt. The woman sat cross-legged in the sedan chair, looking cold and majestic. Come to think of it, this is the rumored domineering princess of Quanze? She helps King Wu of Quanze in Quanze's affairs, and she is rumored to be a domineering woman who can defeat a hundred. This woman did not attend the Fuze pilgrimage under the pretext of being unwell, so Xuanyuan Ming did not see her on that day.
The sedan chair of the princess in blue was followed by a slightly smaller sedan chair, and in the sedan chair sat a princess with round eyes and a round face, looking around fourteen or fifteen. She clasped her hands and held them on her stomach, looking left and right. Recently, she begged her sister to bring Fuze to the north to take a look, and also "experience and learn", and she was very happy at this time.
The palanquin of the blue-clothed princess was followed by some people led by Taishi Qiu Yue. Xuanyuan Ming judged from Qiu Yue that this was Quanze's team.
When the palanquin of the princess in blue passed, two men fled in a panic.
That's Prince Izumi Zewen and his guard Dumb, who came here a few days earlier!
In the past few days, they have been pretending to be face seekers, sticking a black mole on their mouths, and exploring all kinds of haunted and wronged things in the north by touching people's pulses and looking at their faces.
Seeing the vicious Sister Wang coming, Prince Wen hurriedly bent down and hid behind the crowd. To say that this Prince Wen dares to contradict his father and various concubines, but he is most afraid of this mighty and domineering sister.
Quanze's team had passed, and another group of people came in a dragon and phoenix sedan chair.
The person who came was none other than the royal figure of Fuze, and the eldest prince Xuanyuan Hui was also.
I saw that this group of people was magnificent, more than a dozen small guards opened the way, and there were many white-skinned maids wearing splendid clothes accompanied by the sedan chair. The courtiers led by Fu Fu Lu Wei rode brown and black horses to follow the sedan chair.
The eldest prince Xuanyuan Hui sat in the sedan chair and closed to recuperate. Last night, Taifu's men and horses found the small inn where they were staying, which alarmed the inn up and down.
The prince knelt on the ground and said how the queen was worried about all kinds of thoughts in the palace, and said that Wu Yuan invited the eldest prince to check on the conscription in the north, the use of food, and the war affairs in the north. Taifu Lu Wei persuaded him bitterly and asked the eldest prince Xuanyuan Hui to go to the northern palace with him. After that, they returned to Fukuzawa Kyoto.
Xuanyuan Hui thought that investigating the situation of the war in the north was one of the important things he wanted to do in the northern capital this time. Since Taifu Lu Wei and a group of guards with strong martial arts have found him, it is impossible to run at this time, so he will go with him first. In the coming day, I will slowly look for my brother Xuanyuanming. As for whether or not to return to Fukuzawa Kyoto, we'll see when the time comes!
The procession of the Fuzawa royal family walked by, in the end, it was Fuze's own royal family, there was pomp and momentum, and the people also remembered the good of the Fukuzawa royal family. So when the people saw that it was the Fukuzawa royal family coming, they shouted in unison, "Prince Ankang - Prince auspicious -"
The people knelt down on the ground together, and the people who were originally in front of Xuanyuan Ming also knelt on the ground. The people who were sitting on the steps together on the left and right of Ming also knelt down sincerely at this time.
Only Xuanyuan Ming, who was sitting on the steps at this time, was particularly eye-catching. He is His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Fuze! His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is high in the sky! It is impossible to bow down to the royal family and bring the courtiers and guards around him! It is impossible in this life!
"Bold! Why don't you kneel down! The eldest prince is such a handsome and martial figure, you are not allowed to make a mistake here!" The man who was on Xuanyuan Ming's left side who was originally eating skewers also knelt on the ground after losing the skewers at this time. He saw that Xuanyuan Ming still didn't kneel, so he got angry in his heart, and slashed Xuanyuan Ming's knee with one hand, so that the bad one made him kneel unconsciously.
It is said that there is gold on the man's knees, and Xuanyuan Ming knelt on the ground with a "plop", and heard that the gold was broken all over the ground!
I am now kneeling for my brother and the officials and guards around him.
I am now so depressed, a criminal in the palace who has been hunted down, hungry, and dirty in clothes.
I-
Xuanyuan Ming had mixed feelings in his heart, wanting to cry but no tears in his heart.
At this time, the magnificent array staff of the eldest prince Xuanyuan Hui slowly drove away. Again, four sedan chairs covered with black gauze came from behind.
That's the royal family of Xiliang.
Four sedan chairs, two by two, side by side. The two sedan chairs for the head are sitting two princes, that is, Xuan Yu, the eldest prince of Xiliang, and Ye Xuan, the only son of the favorite concubine of the king of Xiliang Wei.
Prince Xuanyu sat quietly in the sedan chair. Prince Yexuan also sat upright, looking through the veil, this person's clothing was not below Prince Xuanyu, and some of the limelight overshadowed Prince Xuanyu.
The sedan chair behind the two princes was followed by two sedan chairs, which were the sedan chairs of the two princesses of Xiliang. One is the sedan chair of Princess Xiliang, and the other is the sedan chair of Tianfeng, the eldest daughter of King Wei's favorite concubine.
In the sedan chair, the princess was dressed in a simple and square white dress. And the princess Tianfeng in the sedan chair next to her is wearing gold and silver on her head and wearing gorgeous thorn brocade. Princess Tianfeng has a pair of charming Danfeng eyes, and she can't help but look out at this time.
The pair of treasures of King Wei's favorite concubine, Prince Yexuan and Princess Tianfeng, only invited the princes and princesses of various countries to participate in the Fuze pilgrimage due to the rules, and they were unable to participate in the magnificent and extraordinary Fuze pilgrimage as they wished.
Recently, they were playing in the mountains around the northern border, and heard that the northern imperial court invited important people from various countries to learn about important things such as military affairs in the northern border. How could they not go to see it on such an important occasion. So he rushed here overnight to go in and watch with the eldest prince Xuanyu and the eldest princess Nishang.
When the sedan chair passed by the kneeling Xuanyuan Ming, he was still kneeling in a daze at this time, and he had not yet gotten up.
Ni Shang clearly saw Xuanyuan Ming in the crowd, otherwise her eyes would not follow closely. Her look of surprise and worry was written on her face.
Xuanyuan Ming also noticed that Nishang saw him, so he put his finger to his mouth and told Nishang to keep quiet.
At this time, the kneeling group of people also got up one after another, just in front of Xuanyuan Ming, so that he would not be discovered.
In the vast sea of people, there is no earlier step, and there is no later step.
In the vast sea of people, there is no sooner, no later.
Two people who have a fate will meet again sooner or later.
A warm hand reached out behind Xuanyuan Ming and slowly helped him up. Xuanyuan Ming turned his head to see that the person who had looked at him with tears on the bridge, hugged himself and caused him to burn and vomit blood, and said goodbye to the palace man Lan Yi on the day of the accident of the Empress Dowager Jingxuan.
She wore a long light yellow dress today, with a half-moon bun on her head, and some hair gently draped over her shoulders.
She smiled at him like a warm winter smile, trying to dissolve the exhaustion in his body.
She lifted him lightly and smiled, "Prince, I'll help you up." ”
Only she knows that it is not only fate that can make him find him, but also waiting and persistence.
