Chapter 49: Shining More Than a Diamond
Due to the vigilance, the streets are sparsely populated and much less noisy than in the past. Cavalry patrols of three to five men, as well as columns of infantry with lit bayonets, were everywhere. There were only a handful of shouting vendors and civilians passing by, and if they appeared, they were bound to be questioned by nearby sentinels.
"It's almost ready now," Lu Wande lowered his voice, his lips barely moving, "the police have arrested a large number of suspicious elements, locked up in prisons in neighboring counties, and interrogated day and night. ”
"It may have something to do with what we talked about that day. Hidden eyebrows also did not move their lips, showing a natural expression to sweep the soldiers.
"I guess so, but the news is blocked. I really hope that Captain Baby wakes up soon, otherwise we will probably keep our eyes black like this. Luwand's voice drifted over, and he was now saluting the infantry who were saluting him across the street.
Although few soldiers knew her, Luvand's blue and white pigeon cage guard uniform was the most unimpeded pass. After two intersections, Yin Xinmei realized that her new home was located in the middle of the Xiangfu and the pigeon cage headquarters, and it was really a good location to choose from across the palace gate from the Phoenix Garden.
At this moment, the sound of trumpets and drums was clear, and all the people in the street put down their trivialities, pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages stopped hurrying, and the patrolmen, who had been scattered, quickly gathered into a queue, and stood on both sides of the road with their chests and bellies held high.
"What's going on?" Yin Xinmei looked at the crowd in surprise.
"Oops!" Lu Wande showed a pained expression, "I forgot that Your Majesty is going to patrol Seser City this afternoon!"
"What?!" she couldn't believe it, "then you shouldn't be here at all right now!"
"I know, I should travel with Your Majesty," Lu Wande muttered in despair, "I'm done." ”
Hidden eyebrows didn't have time to answer him, the sound of the military horn became clearer and clearer, and the pawn team appeared, red and white uniforms, glowing gold belts, and huge felt hats, drummers, trumpeters, and flag bearers lined up in turn, followed by a square team wearing white linen robes, they danced to the rhythm of the band, and Yin Xinmei actually saw the Neng's twins in the square team! They had clearly seen her too, and they jumped up and waved at her desperately, and the head of the chicken coop of the soybeans was like a huge ball of yarn flying around, which was particularly eye-catching in the square, causing everyone on the street to look between them and Yin Xinmei, and Lu Wande looked at her with an expression of "Do you know those two fools?" Hidden eyebrows' face flushed, and she really wanted to yell at the twins to stop, but she could only watch them both happily lose a whole street.
It was about a century long before the square finally passed the motions, and the cavalry appeared. Yin Xinmei breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish her breath, she heard Lu Wande muttering desperately on the side, "It's over, it's over, Your Majesty is coming, it's coming! He will find me, I can't hide, I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Oh my God!" made her nervous too.
The Emperor appeared behind the cavalry, and he rode a golden horse with thin legs and a horsehair like a golden fleece, which glittered like gold in the sun, and this extraordinary beauty of the animal dazzled everyone's eyes. As for its rider, Yin Xinmei had never seen an emperor in such a costume, and in the image he was so lazy and casual, dressed like a gentleman who had lost all his property. But now, the emperor wore a crown of gold encrusted with sapphires, and the collar and lace cuffs of his pale gold satin shirt were adorned with white pearls the size of peas. The crimson embroidered vest was adorned with three diamond ribbons, gold epaulettes and belts, a sumptuous mink robe with multiple medals, black trousers embroidered with gold and silver, knee-high thick cowhide boots, and the eagle's cloak was held high by the hilt of the sword at his waist, which hung majestically down to cover the horse's hind legs.
Sesser's wavy black hair hung obediently behind his shoulders, his seductive black eyes swept over the crowd on both sides, and his delicate and beautiful mouth outlined a meaningful smile. The Emperor was followed by the Grand Prince and the Prime Minister, followed by the other members of the royal family, as well as the Ministers of Justice, the Treasurer, the Field Marshal, the Inspectorate, the Guards Chief, the Governor of the Seaports, and so on, all in descending order.
As soon as the emperor appeared, the crowd cheered enthusiastically, everyone desperately shouted long live your majesty, long live the Wissing Kai, long live the royal family, the windows of the street opened one after another, women and children sat at the windows and waved handkerchiefs vigorously, and the number of people in the street became more and more at some point, and everyone rushed out with excitement to shout loudly for their king.
Now Yin Xinmei suddenly understood the reason why the emperor was dressed casually, he was too shrewd, too sophisticated, just like his incomparable beauty. As long as he wanted, as he was now, Sether could effortlessly cover the rest of the stars with his great radiance, and the eyes of all the servants of his kingdom were now focused only on their brilliant king, and no one could take their eyes off it. But Seser didn't want to monopolize all the attention and praise, preferring to hide behind the curtain and watch. So for the rest of the day, he deliberately covered up his own light and willingly let others shine, and he was able to modify the script as he pleased, in the shadows.
Yin Xinmei looked at the emperor who made people's hearts surging and excited and wept, and had to admit that he was indeed invincible.
"He's the most attractive man I've ever met. She whispered admiration.
Suddenly, as if the words were swishing out like a spell, Sether turned his head sideways, searched the crowd for two seconds, and immediately met the eyes of the hidden eyebrows, and immediately clenched them like an eagle.
"Oh no! The emperor is here!!" Yin Xinmei and Lu Wande wailed in unison!
Yin Xinmei and Lu Wande looked like they were being held to their waists with a bayonet, and their bodies were stiff like rattans as they watched the emperor, the great prince, and the prime minister ride towards them.
"Long live Your Majesty!" the two nervously shouted in unison, Lu Wande raised his sword and saluted, and his eyebrows almost followed, but fortunately, he thought that he was wearing a skirt, and hurriedly gave a not-so-standard curtsy salute.
Lu Wande panicked because she felt guilty, half because she was nervous at the thought of maybe speaking in public, and half because it was difficult for the emperor in costume not to be flustered, since the emperor rode towards them, the street began to gradually quiet, and she suddenly felt her throat dry and almost smoky.
"Thank you to the heroes who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for your country, and your names will forever be engraved on the Monument of Honor of VIAPHKAI. ”
The Emperor said in a deep but clear voice, as if he were looking at Yin Xinmei, but not like looking at her, everyone seemed to be covered by his deep eyes, but no one was sure, and the crowd around him was silent at the moment.
No one dared to reply, because no one thought that their lives were too long to take such a great credit into their arms in front of so many royal relatives and nobles. His words apply to all soldiers, and can be understood as saying them specifically to Hidden Eyebrows, but his direction is like to all the members of the pigeon cage, including Luvande.
"Your Majesty, all the glory and victories of the world belong to you!, not only the brave warriors," Sang Dai naturally took over, "and the beautiful girls are eager to express their hearts to Your Majesty. Miss Yin, am I right?"
"The Prime Minister is right, we are willing to shed our blood and be loyal to Your Majesty, just as we are willing to shed our blood for love and family!" Hidden Eyebrow heard herself speak in full view of everyone, and she tried not to find fault with how harsh her voice sounded, and everyone in the street pricked up and stared at her.
"Then, ladies and ladies!" cried out to the crowd as soon as she followed her voice, "will you follow the example of this young lady and love your king as much as your husband or lover?"
"Yes!" Not only the women were screaming, but the men were cheering and cheering.
"Ladies, ladies!" Belen continued, raising his voice, "will you follow the example of Miss Yin and guard your loyalty to the king with your blood, just as you guard your loyalty to your beloved?"
"Yes, willing!" The crowd cheered one after another, pouring in from all directions.
Sanjie and Belen looked at her together, and she raised her arms and shouted, "Victory and glory forever be to the King of Wissing!
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
The whole city was boiling, cheering and cheering, and people were singing and dancing in the streets like a festival, throwing colored paper and candy into the air.
"Are you satisfied?" shouted at the Emperor amid the hustle and bustle.
"I'm satisfied. Sether's beautiful dark eyes sparkled, and he took something out of his cloak and threw it into Hidden Eyebrow's arms, and she instinctively caught it, "That's proof of my satisfaction." ”
This heavy weight, crisp and beautiful collision sound, it is a bag full of diamonds.
The Emperor shook the reins, turned his horse's head and left, Belen and Sanjie followed, and the two men rode past her, both of them carefully examining her with undisguised eyes, and so did the people behind them, and when they all walked over, Yin Xinmei knew that his clothes had been stripped by them with their eyes.
"I swear this is the first and last time I'll wear this damn dress. When their backs were gone, Yin Xinmei said in a voice that only he could hear.
Lu Wande was beside her, his face pale, and his whole body was still trembling.
"All right," she said impatiently, "people are gone, don't sift the chaff like you have a fever."
"No, I don't think it's right," Yin Xinmei noticed that his lips were purple, "I can't seem to breathe......"
His voice changed tone, his nostrils were red, as if he was about to bleed, he rolled his eyelids and then trembled violently, and his eyebrows exclaimed, and he quickly reached out to catch him, and he was so big that he fell into her arms like a bag of stones.
"Luvande!Luvande!!"
