Chapter 40: Princess Arathana

Peony said: "Oh, okay. Then please. Thank you to the princess and King Liang for taking good care of you. With that, he turned around and went to lie down on the bed, stretched his arm to the side of the bed, and asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse. He lay there and looked at the princess in an imperceptible way.

In this little beauty, in fact, the characteristics of the Mongolian people can no longer be seen at all, whether it is from the clothes or the appearance and demeanor, they are completely assimilated by the local folk customs. This is really in response to the old saying that one side of the water and soil supports the other side. Princess Aratenka's figure was slender and delicate, her skin was fair and shiny, her eyes were of moderate size, and with her oval countenance, she showed a noble beauty; her nose was delicate and straight, her lips were plump and small, and her demeanor was delicate but very alert; she wore a delicately decorated hat on her head, a white strand of drooping hair, made of silk thread, which hung down on the left side of her cheeks; a white dress, covered with a transparent light gauze shirt with gold threads, and a pair of white riding boots, which were wrapped around delicate ankles. Peony Yong feels that this girl is like a fairy in the flower fairy world. Whether it is from the way of wearing it or from the calm and calm demeanor, it is like! It is very exquisite and beautiful! He couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.

Shao leaned, the imperial doctor finished the pulse diagnosis, and told everyone that Yonggongzi had indeed recovered as before.

The news brought smiles to everyone's face. The imperial physician then retreated to restore the life of King Liang.

Princess Arattenhua said to Peony Yong: "Young Master Ayong, don't leave in a hurry when you recover." Today is the third day of the White Festival, and we have a lot of fun and delicious things here, but it is lively. Wouldn't it be better for you to just stay here for a few more days and then go back?"

Princess Mu Yizhen also sincerely said: "Yes, yes, there will also be archery competitions, wrestling competitions, horse racing competitions, and bonfires that are most popular in our grassland. You can stay and spend the White Moon with us. After a pause, he said a little aggrieved: "Abba sent someone to pick me up, I didn't leave, let's play together for a few days." ”

Princess Ala Tenghua looked at Princess Mu Yizhen and smiled, and then introduced it very seductively: "We have beautiful scenery here, and there are many interesting places. For example, Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, and Erhai Moon are all scenery that is worth seeing. Look at the hat I wear on my head, it is the most favorite and classic ornament of the Bai girls here. This hat also has a very nice name, called: "Wind-Flower-Snow-Moon", which is based on the last word of the name of these four landscapes. Every festival here, in the butterfly spring, in the Cangshan stream, the golden flower girl and the Peng brothers will sing mountain songs to make love, it is beautiful and good-looking; in the cottage by the Erhai Lake, there will also be a meeting of the wizard to worship the four directions on the knife ladder to pray for the four seasons of Qingji, which is really a kind of performance that makes people's hearts tremble at a glance; by the way, there is also the Jizu Mountain Pilgrimage Meeting, which is lively. There is an endless stream of people who come and go to worship, and after worshipping, they all have to go to the golden summit of Jizu Mountain to watch the sunrise, in order to pray for good luck in the coming year. What a pity that you leave without looking at so many new things. ”

Listening to Princess Ala Tenghua talk like a few family treasures, even Princess Mu Yizhen was stunned.

Ula Quack heard it itching in his heart, so without waiting for Peony Yong to express his position, he had already agreed with a smile: "Okay, good, visit, definitely visit." ”

Peony Yong looked at his playful appearance, and his heart was really angry and funny. Then he said helplessly: "Okay then." It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and we will let the two princesses arrange it. ”

When the two princesses heard this, they happily high-fived each other in congratulations!

At this time, King Boyan of Liang sent someone to invite him to the banquet, because Peony Yong was sick, and he didn't even do anything to thank them for the banquet. After the king of Liang heard the report of the imperial doctor's return, he ordered someone to set up a banquet and sent someone to summon the distinguished guests.

At this time, it is the Spring Festival period in the mortal world, which is also known as the White Festival and the White Moon in Dali, which is dominated by Mongolians and Bai people.

The Mongols call themselves "Mongolia", which means "eternal fire" or "fire that never goes out"; The Chinese New Year (also known as the White Festival) is the most solemn festival. From Chinese New Year's Eve to the beginning of the new year, all men, women and children are immersed in the joy of the festival.

The Mongolian people call the first month of the first month "Chagansa Day". "Chagan" means white, and "Sari" means the month, so the Chinese translation of the first month is called the white moon. In the eyes of the Mongolian people, white is the mother of all things, symbolizing purity and auspiciousness, and this custom is widely spread in the grasslands.

According to the ancient custom, the Great Khan of Mongolia and all his Mongolian subjects wore white clothes at the beginning of the first lunar month, and people gave each other white things, with "white as auspicious clothes" and white as "auspicious blessings".

In Dali, the foreign Mongolian custom coincides with the local Bai people's national folk custom of advocating white as a noble.

It is no wonder that Princess Mu Yizhen and Princess Aratin are also dressed in white on this day, which is caused by the auspicious and pure folk customs.

Peony Yong and Ula followed the two princesses out of the room, the first feeling was that the sky was blue and blue, and the air was so fresh that people couldn't help but want to take a few more breaths;

The two princesses smiled when they saw Peony Yong's greedy appearance for the outdoors. They led the two guests through a courtyard with a small bridge and flowing water, and walked towards the main hall of the palace.

The palace of Liang Wang Boyan can be said to be a masterpiece of combining the architectural characteristics of the Central Plains and the architectural elements of the Southern Kingdom in terms of architectural style. You look at the courtyard that slips several floors, and the halls of each floor are majestic and tall, and the eaves are painted. And from the layout direction, it is also the meridian direction advocated by traditional feng shui in architecture, that is, sitting north and facing south. This feature has always been admired by successive emperors. The seat of the ancient emperors of our country was always in the north, facing the south. Because the emperor is the head of a dynasty, just like the top, so the emperor sits on the north, the north is the "up", and the ministers sitting on the south side are inferior, and the south becomes the "down".

Generally speaking, the palace city is composed of three parts, that is, the Yeting Palace and the East Palace face each other on the left and right, and the Taiji Palace is clustered in the middle. In the Taiji Palace, there are two Yi halls built in the north of the Taiji Palace, and the title of "two Yi" is also from the "Zhou Yi", "Therefore, it is easy to have Taiji, which is to give birth to two Yi, two Yi to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip". These two ceremonial halls were the places where the nearest ministers and emperors discussed and held family banquets.

King Liang's mansion was also built with reference to the emperor's palace, and at this time, Peony Yong and other people were on the way out of the dormitory to the Liangyi Palace.
