Chapter 246: Beauty
Hearing Zhuang Cheng's question, Xu Yang smiled indifferently.
"I don't know why, I went to Guanwai this time, experienced a few battles, and comprehended one more layer of martial arts, so I felt that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well before, and now I can only barely get out of the well. ”
Seeing Zhuang Cheng listening to his braggadocio with reverence, Xu Yang felt that this low-key feeling of pretending to be forced was really good.
Zhuang Cheng looked at Xu Yang with admiration, thinking that if he could achieve the master's success, he should also be able to crisscross the rivers and lakes and be invincible, right?
"Are there any changes in the imperial capital these days?" Xu Yang asked casually as he walked towards the house.
Zhuang Cheng also followed Xu Yang's footsteps, and whispered as he walked: "There is nothing big happening today, Lord Zhantong Zhan resigned and returned to his hometown in Jiangnan, and he visited when he left, and when you left, the court sent a large army back to Xinjiang to quell the rebellion, hmm...... It is rumored that a few days ago, the emperor accepted another side concubine, and I heard that it was a princess who returned to Xinjiang......"
Xu Yang's footsteps stopped suddenly, princess, this ...... What's going on?
He obviously changed history, and the situation in Xinjiang was very good before, how could Kasli be caught by Qianlong?
Or is it a princess from another tribe back to Xinjiang?
Zhuang Cheng still kept saying: "It is said that this princess is fragrant and beautiful, and it is said that she has a strange fragrance, even in winter, the entire Yuanying Temple is also filled with this fragrance, and even the emperor is fascinated, and runs to the Old Summer Palace every day, but unfortunately it is in the palace, otherwise the villain wants to sneak in and see the ......" (Note 1)
When Xu Yang heard this, the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and the princess with a strange fragrance on her body must be Kasri.
What went wrong? How did she get to the imperial capital?
Counting the days, even if the army sent out later hurried overnight, and when it came to the first battle of Huijiang, it defeated the Hui coalition army, and then captured Kasli and sent it back to the imperial capital, this time is obviously not enough?
If you count from Huo Qingtong, Kasli is her sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law's half-......
Ahem.
How can my sister-in-law's safety and happiness turn a blind eye to my quasi-brother-in-law?
Damn, Qianlong, I'm in my forties, and Kasli is only fifteen or sixteen years old, which is too unsuitable.
Not to mention the tragic ending that will inevitably happen later, how can you sit back and watch this kind of thing happen when you come to this small world by yourself?
Xu Yang immediately turned around and ordered: "You tidy up the softness first, and find a stable place to settle later, I want to ......"
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang said slowly, "I may have to make a big mistake." ”
…………
Even deeper, it was already close to the end of the imperial capital, after the curfew in the middle of the night, it had just snowed heavily, and the streets were slow to say that it was people, and even the cats were so cold that they didn't want to go out.
Even the soldiers who patrol back and forth are hiding in some unknown places, killing time.
This kind of ghost weather, unless it's a madman, who will come out and make trouble?
However, Xu Yang was dressed in black and galloped in the snowy night of the imperial capital.
He's really going crazy.
Kasri, a gentle and lovely, beautiful and eccentric girl, will slowly walk on a dead end again along the pace of history.
How could Xu Yang watch this kind of thing happen?
Not to mention the existence of Huo Qingtong's relationship, let's just say that he is just a passerby, seeing this scene, I am afraid that Xu Yang will be unable to suppress the idea of making a move.
It's just the Imperial Palace, step on it!
The imperial capital is also familiar to Xu Yang, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the Old Summer Palace and sneak into the Western Building Haiyan Hall, but Haiyan Hall covers a wide area, and for a while he couldn't find the Yuanying Temple where Princess Xiangxiang was.
Fortunately, Xu Yang has a navigation system, even if you are a road idiot, you can find the person you are looking for.
Unlike the outside, even late at night, the inside of the Old Summer Palace is brilliantly lit and not environmentally friendly at all.
This is cheaper for Xu Yang, except for the guards who occasionally patrol by, he needs to take shelter for a while, and the rest of the journey is a flat river.
Kasli has been crying, she never thought of it, but as usual, she wanted to go to Lanzhou City to find Chen Jialuo, but her father and sister were resolutely opposed, and even put her under house arrest.
However, how can this little trick stop the clever Kasli of Ice and Snow?
Taking advantage of her sister's research on how to deal with the enemy, she sneaked out, stole a pony, and went to Chen Jialuo with joy.
Unexpectedly, on the road, I actually ran into a team of Qing soldiers, the old man who led the way was so fierce, and the kung fu was scared to death, and several companions who came out with him were knocked down at once, and he was also arrested by the old man.
However, everyone in this group of Qing soldiers, when they saw themselves, had a terrible look in their eyes, as if they were about to eat themselves at any time.
If he hadn't reported his identity, he might not have been able to escape at that time.
They seemed to be forcibly restraining something, and after a while of argument, it was the old man who prevailed, and then they forcibly escorted themselves to the imperial capital and offered themselves to the emperor named Qianlong.
It turned out that the man was the emperor, he looked like an ordinary rich and noble old man, not too vicious, and he was quite polite to himself, but since Chen Jialuo and his sister said that he was a big villain, then he must be.
It's just that when he raised his head curiously to look at the emperor, his eyes changed, and they became not much different from those Qing soldiers' eyes, the same as he was afraid, the same as if he was going to eat himself raw.
However, he finally got under control and reverted to the polite attitude he had just met.
He arranged himself in this gorgeous garden, entertained him with delicious food and drink, and found some slaves and maids to serve him.
He said that if he wants to marry himself, he will give himself the most honorable position, the best dwelling, and the most reward in the world.
He also said that he would forgive his father, his sister, and the sins of his people.
Phew, we've won the war, what else do you want to forgive?
Although she has fine clothes and food, this kind of life is not good at all, Kasli wants to return to Huijiang, and wants to see her father, sister, eldest brother, and Chen Jialuo again.
Sister, Kasri will never dare to be disobedient in the future, and Kasli will agree to whatever her sister says in the future.
Sister, come and save Kasri!
Woowoo......
When Xu Yang knocked out a few guards guarding the door and approached Yuanyingguan, a group of slaves and maids fled in shock, only to see Kasli still crying, snot and tears flowed down her face, and she kept shouting her sister, sister.
It's a little funny, and some inexplicably moved, Princess Xiangxiang is really still a child at this time.
Even the luxury of the palace, even the majesty of Ouchi, could not change her yearning for freedom.
No matter how big the golden wire cage is, it can't close the heart of a girl who yearns for her hometown and misses her relatives.
Kasri raised her head and looked at the familiar figure in front of her, it seemed that the impact was too great, and she didn't dare to recognize it for a while.
After a while, she asked tentatively, "Sister, brother-in-law?"
Xu Yang smiled and smiled happily: "Silly girl, why did you come here? Do you want your brother-in-law to take you home and eat roast whole sheep?"
"Brother-in-law!" Kasri screamed and threw herself at Xu Yang, tears streaming down her eyes again, but this time it was tears of joy.
Qianlong was very anxious, at this time in the past, he should have rested a long time ago, but for some reason, he couldn't sleep tonight.
The queen mother didn't agree to him marrying Concubine Xiang, damn it.
She should have died a long time ago, and she was not her own mother, why did she hold on to her position of power and restrain him everywhere?
Even if he wants to marry a concubine, he has to oppose it!
After Yu Wanting broke into the palace on the day, Qianlong tried the queen mother's own life experience, although she denied everything Yu Wanting said at that time, and covered it up very well, but a trace of panic in her eyes, some incongruity when walking, sitting and lying down, in turn verified everything.
He really is a Han Chinese.
Hongli, Hongli, you should be surnamed Chen, not Aixin Jueluo, who is a Laoshizi.
Qianlong, who has always been proud of his noble background, for the first time had a sense of disgust for this surname that is respected by the world.
This time I went to Jiangnan, and I also went to the former residence of Chen Ge Lao, Chen Ge and his wife have passed away, and he also went to their grave to cry.
However, they could not be recognized.
Emperor, it's not easy to do.
Bai Zhen made meritorious service with his crimes, and went back to Xinjiang to bring back Kasli, which is considered to be the price of his eyesight.
When they met for the first time, Qianlong was stunned by the amazing face of this little girl.
How could there be such a perfect woman in the world?
For a long time, Qianlong has always disdained the image of a celestial woman described in Chu Ci Han Fu and Tang and Song poems.
How can there be such a perfect woman in the world?
There are so many beautiful women in the palace, even the top ones, they are far from being able to "dance like a frightening and graceful dragon", let alone say anything about "laughing at the city, and then laughing at the country", those are just the conjectures of poor scholars.
It wasn't until the day he met Kasri that he really believed it.
He believes that there will really be women in the world who are "as thin as the moon covered by light clouds, and fluttering like snow in the wind", and there will really be such a thing as "looking back and smiling at a hundred charms, and the six palaces have no color".
Look back at the concubines he has always loved......
It's all vulgar powder, what's the difference between it and a pig's head?
From that day on, he slept alone.
It was once difficult to turn the sea into water.
These alone were enough to attract, not to mention, even if he was far away, he could still smell the strange fragrance that Kasli carried, it was definitely not the aroma of fat powder, nor the fragrance of frankincense, grass and trees, nor the mundane things like ambergris and musk, but a holy fragrance that seemed to come from heaven.
Although Qianlong had never been to the Heavenly Court, nor had he smelled the fragrance of the legendary Heavenly Court, he was sure that if there was really that kind of strange fragrance, then it must be the kind of fragrance on Kasri's body.
This is a gift from God, how can you let it go?
Qianlong made up his mind that if the queen mother opposed it again tomorrow, even if he was infamous for disobedience, he would invite her old man out of the palace.
Note 1: At this time, the Yuanying Temple had not yet been built, and the historical Princess Xiangxiang did live in this palace, but it was already 27 years after Qianlong. This is written according to the worldview of the book and sword, don't blame the master.
