The convoy slowly left Zhongzhou and made the way north. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xia Qingcang didn't take the initiative to recognize Princess Lingyue, and Princess Lingyue didn't know that it was Xia Qingcang who escorted her on this trip. The two men were separated by a curtain and were silent.

Although it is a family sending team, the atmosphere along the way is very depressing, everyone knows that Princess Lingyue has an uncertain future and is unpredictable this time, and they are all pitiful for her in their hearts.

Finally, after a day, the party arrived at the first place where they spent the night, which was a small city.

After feeling that the sedan chair stopped, Princess Lingyue knew that it was time to rest at night, so she didn't say anything, she opened the curtain and got off the sedan chair, and walked into the inn accompanied by the maid and stayed directly.

At night, the candlelight in Princess Lingyue's room flickered and never went out.

Xia Qingcang came to the door many times, and every time he reached halfway with his hand, he would stop, and finally shook his head and gave up. Even if you meet and recognize each other, what can you say?

Just when he came to the door of Princess Lingyue's room again, there was a sudden squeak, and Princess Lingyue opened the door and came out.

The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.

After a long time, Xia Qingcang smiled lightly: "Princess, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Princess Lingyue didn't answer, and quietly followed behind Xia Qingcang.

The night sky of the town is much more beautiful than that of Zhongzhou, and there is less disturbance from the lights in the city, and the sky is full of stars and sparkling, overlooking the earth.

The two of them came to a lawn outside the town, and did not speak, but sat quietly side by side.

Xia Qingcang was entangled in his heart, should he speak to comfort him at this time, or should he persuade him?

Even if you don't know what the other person is doing right, how can you decide to act?

Just as he was swaying from side to side, Princess Lingyue said lightly, "Brother Xia, did you say that there is such a beautiful starry sky over there in the Turks?"

Xia Qingcang looked up at the night sky and replied calmly: "The sky on the grassland should be wider and the starlight will be more dazzling. ”

"Really? Then I'm kind of yearning. Princess Lingyue smiled lightly.

Hearing this sentence in Xia Qingcang's ears, it was not a taste, and a faint sadness filled the air.

"Princess Lingyue, I believe that after you go to the Turks, you will still find a lot of Turkic beauty, and you may feel that life is still beautiful at that time. Xia Qing Cangqiang said with a smile.

"Yes, I hope. After saying these four simple words, Princess Lingyue stopped talking.

With the help of the starlight, Xia Qingcang looked at Princess Lingyue's white face, and seeing that he was expressionless, he couldn't guess what she was thinking at this time.

"Princess, this is a long journey of thousands of miles, I think if you turn a few corners and visit some beautiful scenery along the way, I don't think the emperor will mind, what do you think?" After a long time, Xia Qingcang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Princess Lingyue's empty eyes suddenly flashed, and she looked at Xia Qingcang with a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Xia." ”

In this way, on the second day, Xia Qingcang rearranged the itinerary and led the whole team to eat, drink and have fun along the way.

Along the way, the heat in everyone's hearts was completely activated, and everyone knew that this last part of the road must accompany Princess Lingyue to walk well, so everyone showed their own magical powers, and constantly pushed this happy and happy atmosphere higher and higher.

The happy smile on Princess Lingyue's face also kept appearing, completely leaving all her troubles behind.

However, no matter how long the happy days are, there will be an end to the day.

Finally, on this day, the send-off procession came to the Turkic border, and on the opposite side, the Turkic greeting procession was already waiting on the border.

This time it was a Turkic important minister who came to greet the relatives, and under his leadership, the family sending team followed the family greeting team to the capital of the Turkic country.

Entering the Turkic territory, Xia Qingcang and the others put away their previous happy appearance, and the atmosphere returned to the same heaviness as before. And Princess Lingyue also chose to stay in the sedan chair all day long and never come out.

After some time, the send-off team successfully arrived in the capital and stayed in the Turkic palace.

The Great Khan of Termu and Prince Hassen personally came to greet everyone outside the palace gate, and Princess Lingyue, dressed gracefully, got out of the sedan chair and greeted them.

As soon as he saw Princess Lingyue's appearance, Prince Hasen's face was immediately filled with a strange expression, staring intently at Princess Lingyue, sweeping up and down unscrupulously.

Feeling Prince Hasson's gaze, Princess Lingyue frowned slightly, but the corners of her eyes skimmed towards Termu Khan, and seeing that she was also staring at herself, she could only hold back her roar and let go of her brows and return to normal.

Xia Qingcang saw all this, although he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't attack, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block Princess Lingyue's body, and respectfully bowed his hand to the Great Khan of Termu: "The princess is tired all the way, and the princess is tired, I hope that the Great Khan can arrange a place for the princess to rest for a night, and then discuss business tomorrow, can you?"

Blocked by Xia Qingcang's tall figure, Prince Hasen wanted to roar, but Termu Khan patted him on the shoulder, signaled him to calm down, and said: "This is reasonable, come here, arrange for the princess to stay." ”

Then he smiled at Princess Lingyue: "Princess, have a good rest, and we will discuss the wedding agenda tomorrow." ”

Finally, he said coldly to Xia Qingcang: "Since it has been delivered safely, I hope you will rest for one night, go back to recover tomorrow as soon as possible, and say hello to Xi and the Emperor for me, thank him for this good gift." ”

Hearing the words of the Great Khan of Termu, there was a soft commotion in the procession, and everyone was indignant: this Turk deceived people too much, and openly recognized Princess Lingyue as a gift. After getting along for a period of time, Princess Lingyue treats everyone well, and there is no bit of an emperor's official shelf, so everyone's feelings for Princess Lingyue are very deep, and it is inevitable that they will be resentful in their hearts today.

Xia Qingcang turned around and glanced at everyone, everyone stopped the commotion, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Xia Qingcang in unison, seeing how he answered.

"Qi Qi Great Khan, we have a custom in the original era called the Three Dynasties Huimen, which means that on the third day after the woman gets married, she needs to return to her parents' house with the groom to visit relatives, so we only need to disturb the Great Khan for a few days, and then we need to escort the horse back to China together. Xia Qingcang replied respectfully.

Termu Khan frowned, and said a little angrily: "That is your custom in the Central Plains, we don't have to abide by it. I see that you are just not at ease, afraid that we will neglect the princess. How can I be such a villain as a great Turk? In this case, I will leave you until the wedding feast, and then I will leave as soon as it is over, and there is no need to say anything else. After finishing speaking, Termu Khan left straight away, not giving Xia Qingcang and the others any room for maneuver.

Everyone was still a little unhappy, and at this time, Princess Lingyue stepped forward and said lightly to everyone: "You have worked hard during this time, please rest for a few days and accompany me to get married happily." ”

After hearing the princess's words, everyone sighed in their hearts and followed the Turkic chamberlains to their quarters. And Xia Qingcang insisted that his room be arranged next to Princess Lingyue, saying that he still had the obligation to protect the princess before she officially got married. The Great Khan of Termu agreed, and set the wedding for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow to prepare them.

But on the eve of the wedding, it is destined to be not peaceful.
