Chapter 20 Clear Terrace
I was about to turn away, but Miss "how did I know" suddenly turned over. Unexpectedly, she was an acquaintance.
"Lord You Weng, no, Princess Chang'an! Why are you here?" The daughter of the Zhao family saw me and hurriedly got up to restrain herself, and the people nearby also came to salute one after another.
"I, I... loose food, to loose food!" I scratched my head and smiled: "Hey hey..."
Well, how can you keep a low profile?
"Does the princess also want to see General Yan? You are not allowed to enter for the time being. Why are you wandering here? A crisp voice broke the calm. It was the round-faced girl who had been chatting with the daughter of the Zhao family before. She blinked her big round eyes and looked at me doubtfully.
I noticed that Zhao Qianjin grabbed her sleeve and gently pulled it, and she didn't realize it. She continued, "Today happens to be on duty. Can I help you pass it on it?" If the sleeves hadn't been pulled by Zhao Qianjin, she would have rushed out. Er, the degree of this girl's lack of heart is exactly the best.
"Which noble daughter is this?" I raised my jaw slightly, glanced gently, and tried to imitate the way Princess Anyue spoke. Yes, I had to hang a perfect smile without any emotion at the corners of my mouth.
"Told the princess, this is the daughter of the Tang family, named Tang Lin, and her brother is Lord Tang Zhuo of the Yulin Guard." A woman next to her shrank back. Look, it's still the set of Princess An Yue that works. But how small the world is. Isn't Tang Zhuo the one who pretended to hold me hostage at that palace banquet? His sister...
"Oh~~ It's just that I accidentally hurt my Tang Zhuo!" I deliberately aggravated the word "hurt me" and obviously wanted to wear small shoes for her.
At this moment, Tang Lin finally felt something meaningful. His head hung slightly, but his mouth was pouting high and he looked very aggrieved. I can't laugh or cry. Why do I have the illusion of bullying the young when I am older than me?
"Princess, please don't blame me. Tang Lin is used to being scattered and doesn't want to bump into you." The daughter of the Zhao family relieved her.
I was about to open my mouth, but Xiuxiu came to my ear: "Princess, I'll leave first and come back later. Don't be angry with others." I went down and nodded. I was supposed to scare Tanglin to play with such a lovely woman.
"Ye�, that's fine. For their sake, I won't care about it this time. Don't be so unruly in the future, remember?"
"Remember." Tanglin's eyes were red and he was obviously unconvinced.
"Okay, I'm going back. You can do it yourself."
"Congratulations to the princess." Everyone saluted in unison.
When I got out of their sight, I finally couldn't help laughing. No wonder Princess Anyue and Afu were so happy and pretending, which was really good. Princess, you played too much. Didn't you see how wronged Miss Tang was? Xiuxiu began to fight against the unsent.
"Okay, just this time, let's not do it again, okay?"
Lan Ying knocked on Xiuxiu's head and said with a smile, "Little girl, dare to count the master. Look at the princess to give you little shoes!"
"Don't count me anymore. Where are we waiting for Zhao Gan now? Just now, I heard Tang Lin say that they may come out from which door. What should I do? I quickly changed the topic.
"Yeah, don't let Xiuxiu inquire about it." Lan Ying proposed.
"No, no, how can I do what many noble women can't do?" Xiuxiu waved his hands repeatedly.
"We believe in you." I looked at her with Lan Ying.
"By the way, remember to ask about the whereof Princess An Yue is." Lan Ying added to Xiuxiu, who is getting farther and farther away.
How about it? How about it?" After a while, I saw Xiuxiu jumping back.
"Two, two..." She was out of breath and compared two fingers.
"What do you mean?"
"The emperor said that in order to verify the words of the national teacher, he must increase the difficulty and let General Yan put on a mask and go out from the east and north gates. No, no, there is only one General Yan, and the other person is pretending to be."
"This is not the point, so what about Zhao dare?" I took good breath for her.
"Well, why isn't this the point? General Zhao is a person who pretends to be General Yan, because they are similar in size.
I'm confused. What on earth is the emperor's uncle playing? I suspect that he already knows that I will come to Zhao Gan to set a checkpoint for me like this.
"Where is Princess Anyue?"
"She hasn't come yet." Xiuxiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "But I saw one of her maids arranged at the north gate."
"That's it." Lan Ying thought for a moment: "The news of Princess An Yue should be the most useful. The north gate should be the most profitable, but there is still a choice. In case..."
"Lanying, you go to the East Gate. We just came from there. It's inconvenient for me to go. Xiuxiu and I will go to the North Gate with me!" I quickly grabbed the conversation. In fact, I have a plan. Why do I have to guess who Zhao Gan is? As long as they sneak in before they come out, they will know everything. But I'm sure that Lan Ying will not agree to this plan. She will definitely say that it will damage the royal majesty and so on, so just set her away.
"But..." Lan Ying hesitated.
"If I meet Zhao Gan, I'm afraid that Xiuxiu doesn't know how to deal with it skillfully." I pulled her aside and whispered, "You also know Xiuxiu..." I glanced at Xiuxiu, who was flat-mouthed.
"That's good. Xiuxiu, you must take good care of the princess, or I will ask you!"
I pulled Xiuxiu and nodded: "Yes, she will."
Sometimes Xiuxiu is really a genius. In less than a quarter of an hour, she actually got two sets of palace clothes. It's just... I'm right at the brim of the hat that is covering my eyes. This dress is too big. After the sleeves are folded three times, it's still very rich. This outfit can't even be covered by fools. How can I sneak into the clear terrace?
Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Hey hey, hey, I'll do it."
I stared at her and saw that it was almost Xu, and it was too late to find a suitable one, so I had to think about other ways.
So, at this moment, I am wearing a huge palace costume, carefully squatting on the branches of a big tree and looking at the venue on the clear terrace. Originally, I wanted to use this tree to turn into the circle of the venue, but when I climbed up with great pains, a row of fully armored guards passed under the tree, which instantly dispelled my mind. Fortunately, it's not that there is no harvest. I was surprised to find that I can see the whole picture of the whole terrace here.
can be said to be "spring is mellow, burnt moxibustion is fragrant; Junchen Huankang, drunken smoke."
The emperor's uncle sat high on the main throne and seemed to have drunk a lot. He was talking about something with a nearby adult with a white beard. Then, I found the target person, Zhao Gan, who was sitting near the throne and talking about wine. However, I also noticed that one of the staggers is particularly conspicuous. His seat is the closest to the throne, and it should be the legendary General Yan. He has always supported his face with his elbows and didn't say much. He just drank by himself. Unfortunately, I can't see his appearance clearly from my perspective, but I don't know if it's an illusion. I always feel that his profile is not strange.
"Princess." Xiu Xiufei tried her best and finally climbed up. She squatted next to me and kept gasping. Suddenly, she let out a "Ouch" scared me. Isn't that wood?" She pointed in one direction, and I looked along, but it was where Yan Zhi was.
I patted her still holding hand: "Silly girl, that's Yan Zhi, not Yan Yun, maybe it's just like brothers."
"It's General Yan Zhi, the legendary one! Are you sure it's not wood? But why do I think it's him? That nuisance is so familiar that I'm cursing him in my dreams! Unexpectedly, he will admit his mistake." Xiuxiu rubbed the back of the hand that I had patted and muttered doubtfully.
Hey, but as she said, the profile of the two brothers is really portraits, the same tall and tall and outstanding.
"Princess." I was observing around, hoping to have the opportunity to contact Zhao Gan alone. Xiuxiu suddenly came next to me and said in a very low voice, "Have you heard anything?" I looked sideways at her, and she motioned to us with her eyes.
At this time, the sky has been dark, and there are no moons and stars tonight. Even though there are several square-circled headlight balls hanging in the field, and the internal raft candles are bright, but they can't be mapped here. Instead, they make the surroundings look darker, and the layers of trees seem to devour us up.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Maybe someone else wants to admire General Yan's demeanor, and it's not impossible to know. We don't offend each other and don't hinder each other. It's okay." In fact, I'm very scared, but I forced myself to calm down. Anyway, it's a blessing, not a curse, but a misfortune that can't be avoided. If something really happens, it's too late for us to run now.
The field was full of enthusiasm, as if an official was inciting something. Everyone followed, and the emperor's uncle also nodded and responded happily.
Immediately, "Yan Zhi" slowly walked out of his seat and saluted the emperor's uncle. At this time, two rows of palace attendants came forward, one came forward to hold a mask and put it on "Yan Zhi", and the other four carried a huge sword for him.
"Princess, that's General Yan's family sword~~ It's really General Yan!" Xiuxiu pulled my sleeve excitedly. Hey, another "Yan fan", in my opinion, that man is half ugly. He was half covered just now, and now he covers his whole face.
At this time, there was a soft laugh above my head, and the voice was extremely low. If I hadn't been absorbed in leaning against the tree trunk and paying attention to the top, I would never have heard it. I could hear the meaning of joke in the smile. It turned out that I accidentally sighed and was actually heard. But at this time, my heart suddenly calmed down, and the voice was gloomy and pleasant. It was a real human being.
"Princess, look! General Yan is going to dance his sword. Look!" I was almost squeezed down by Xiuxiu, and the girl was fascinated and forgot the current situation.
At this moment, Yan Zhi was standing in the middle of the field, holding the legendary giant sword in one hand and holding a sword flower. Just as everyone was calm, things suddenly changed. A light ball hanging on the field suddenly fell to the ground, and suddenly sparks splashed everywhere. The ministers were so scared that they rushed around. For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic, and only heard shouting everywhere: "Protect, escort..."
