[040] Emperor Xiliang
A cold and luxurious voice came from not far away. Chu Yuan and Nangong looked at each other and only heard the coachman outside jump down from the carriage and chanted "The saint forgive me". The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and she got up and lifted the curtain first--
When Chu Yuan, dressed in white, walked out of the carriage, she saw a bright yellow frame. The old moon god totem was hung around the frame. At this time, the curtain of the front door of the frame was lifted. Chu Yuan looked straight, and a graceful figure was sitting in it.
Chu Yuan was lucky to get out of the carriage, and Nangong Li followed Chu Yuan. Both of them were handsome people from the heavenly family, which naturally attracted the eyes around him in an instant.
"Little woman Yuci, the one beside me is Nangong Li, the son of the State of Yan. It's really an honor for us to meet Her Royal Highness the Holy Lady on the road."
Chu Yuan's voice was clear. As soon as the figure in the car came out of the car, he was really short and out of the door. Looking at the woman in a moon-white wide-sleeved robe, he slowly walked out of the carriage. Chu Yuan couldn't help but look sideways.
That's an extremely beautiful woman. Her body seems to have the dusty spirit that doesn't eat the world's fireworks. Her delicate face is so elegant without fat powder. Three thousand ink hair has a small bun on the back of her head. It is simple but elegant, which makes people shocked at a glance. How can there be such a clear woman?
Nangong Li narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman carefully. "You are a little similar to her."
Chu Yuan was slightly sighing at the temperament of the saint. At this moment, she was stunned when she heard the words. She looked at the woman's eyes on the opposite side carefully and gradually saw some similar meanings.
Shi Shiran, the woman opposite, got out of the car and followed four or five servants in white gauze behind her. From a distance, she really looked a little fairy. She put her hands together in front of her chest and leaned slightly. "It's really a distant guest in Xiliang. There is a courtesy here--"
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth also took a few steps closer, "Qiwu? What a beautiful name. Yuci has heard the name of the Holy Lady for a long time. Today, I really want to be impressed by your style. I wanted to see your true face at the wedding banquet of the Holy Lady, but I didn't want to meet it today. I don't know where the Holy Lady is going?
The corners of Feng Qiwu's mouth were slightly hooked, and his whole body was full of elegant but touching temperament. "The princess praised it. Qiwu entered the palace early to meet the emperor. At this time, he was about to go back to the house. When he left the palace, he heard that the princess and the prince were going to enter the palace. I'm afraid that the emperor was in a hurry at this moment--
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth raised, but Nangong Li came forward with a smile. "The posture of the Holy Lady is very comparable. As soon as I see you, I forget the time. In this case, we will not disturb the Holy Highness, and we will go to the palace to meet the emperor."
Chu Yuan wanted to say more, but at this moment, he was pulled aside by Nangong Li. He said, "Your Highness, please go first--"
Feng Qiwu didn't say more. He just saluted and got on the frame again. Chu Yuan looked at him gradually moving away and frowned. When he got into the carriage again, he hummed coldly, "Why don't you let me say more words to her? This time I saw him next time, it was really at the prince's palace banquet. What else to say then?"
Nangong Li smiled when he heard the words, "Before, I only heard that the saint was only responsible for sacrifices, but I didn't expect that she would go to the palace at ordinary times. Moreover, her wedding with the prince is about to be held, but she is still outside at this moment. I'm afraid there are some reasons. It may not be difficult to see her. At this moment, if you really say a few more words, it will be deliberate. You might as well go to the palace. Now, it's more important to see Feng.
Chu Yuan was also angry for a moment. At this moment, she figured it out. The carriage rolled towards the Xiliang Palace. She pondered for a moment, "Do you think she looks like me?"
Nangongli nodded, and a little heavy meaning appeared on Junyi's face, "There are not many people who look like her in the world. Where did Xiao Zimo find her? What's more, it needs to be recognized by Feng Yi?"
Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Maybe he has been ready for a long time?"
As soon as Nangong Li said this, he was slightly silent. He didn't know what happened to Xiliang at the beginning, but it was certain that the second princess of Xiliang and the current prince were very close to the Marquis of Cheng'an. What on earth caused the marriage of the second princess of Xiliang?
Nangong Li didn't know this problem, but Chu Yuan was thinking about what Xiao Zimo said last night. Her eyes moved slightly. No matter what Xiao Zimo was, at least he had more or less sincere to the second princess of Xiliang, but she was going to see this person later, but she was not a good father--
When the carriage arrived at the Xiliang Palace, it was already after a stick of incense. Chu Yuan raised the curtain and looked at the imperial city outside. Perhaps it was because Xiliang was located in the dry weather on the plateau. Most of their palaces were brick wall structures. From the outside, it may not look as high as the atmosphere of the State of Yan, but it has its own sense of weight. The imperial guard regiment in Shangxiliang stood at the door, and the flags were fluttering above the towers. The spirit of a royal emperor was already extraordinary.
The driver handed over the waist plate and passed the level at the gate of the palace. Chu Yuan and Nan Gongli's eyes were slightly heavy. Although the palace was not as luxurious as the State of Yan, it was slowly the totem of the moon god. Chu Yuan looked at it but felt ridiculous. How did this emperor with at least imperial power tolerate these things everywhere? What about all of them?
The forbidden army in the palace patrolled closely everywhere, but after walking a short piece of the palace road, they met several times. Chu Yuan and Nan Gongli looked at each other. Even in the palace of the State of Yan, there was no such strict guard. What on earth is this Fengyi guarding against?
What's more, is something going to happen in the Xiliang Palace?
With this kind of doubt, when their carriage stopped, the two of them had already taken a closer look at the Xiliang Palace. As soon as they got out of the car, there were small officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies waiting. They saluted in reality, and then raised their hands and asked, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the emperor is discussing with the ministers in the imperial study at this time. Please also two Wait with the villain to the moon pavilion for a moment.
Chu Yuan naturally followed the little official and was a little far from the unknown palace in front of them. However, because they had entered the inner palace, they were not allowed to move forward with the frame. They walked slowly and didn't see a new palace. Chu Yuan wanted to observe for a moment.
Suddenly, Chu Yuan's eyes printed a place that was more solemn than other palaces. Looking outside, almost every place was the moon god's totem printed on it. In Xiliang, the moon god's totem could not be requisitioned casually. Ordinary ordinary people could only hang the moon god's totem on their doorstep. Why? Other palaces in this palace are not like this, only it is full of moon god totems?
Chu Yuan coughed slightly and looked at the palace with interest in her eyes, "Well, why is this palace so special? Looking at so many moon god patterns hanging on the hall, I think this palace must not be an ordinary palace concubine, right?"
The little official looked at the palace and stopped talking. Chu Yuan looked at him twice, "I don't know if I can go in here to have a look. If the owner is here, maybe I can visit--"
"Please forgive me, princess. This is the residence of the second princess of Xiliang before she became an adult. Now the second princess has gone west and can't enter. Please forgive me."
There was a cold sweat on the little official's forehead, and Chu Yuan nodded, "So that's it. I have known for a long time that your second princess was the saint of Xiliang. It's a pity that something happened to her. I heard that the saint is very sacred and destined by heaven. I don't know how your current saint was found. "?"
Hearing this, the little official immediately showed a feeling of worship on his face. He meditated for a moment and looked left and right. "The princess doesn't know anything. The previous second princess had been presiding over the sacrifice and blessing for our Xiliang. There was no trouble every year, but there were some disasters everywhere in Xiliang the year before. When the saint prayed for blessings, she fell from the altar. At that time, the prince, who was still the Marquis of Cheng'an, told the emperor that the second princess had been praying for Xiliang for so many years, and all the aura on her body had been used up, and then--"
It seemed that he felt that he had said a little too much. The little official stopped in a hurry. Chu Yuan nodded when he saw this, "Anyway, now the second princess has gone, and now the saint is also very good. After marrying the prince later, she is both the mother and the saint. By the way, I heard that every time you sacrifice dance must be on the thorns. Face jump, is this true?"
The little official closed his mouth and did not speak, but nodded when he heard the words. Chu Yuan sounded what Xiao Zimo said, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes. This box had already passed through the palace. She looked at the extremely rare palace people in the palace, and her doubts rose again.
When he arrived at the moon pavilion, Chu Yuan knew that it was not a pavilion, but a palace that looked extremely magnificent. The little official opened the door and led them in. All the refreshments were prepared inside. He looked at the two people and said, "Please be here for a moment, and the emperor will come right away."
When the little official withdrew, he took all the people away. Chu Yuan looked at the pavilion and only felt very strange. It was obviously a great place, but it was very empty at this moment. It seemed that it was not useful at all. They sat down at will and looked up slightly, only felt that the top of the hall was very high. At this moment The totem of the moon god was carved everywhere on the beam of the roof of the hall. Chu Yuan took a closer look and saw that a woman was standing on something and dancing.
There was a bad feeling in her heart. Her eyes flashed through the walls that looked very smooth on all sides, and she only felt a feeling of uneasiness in the colorful paintings.
"You say--"
"Cough--"
Chu Yuan coughed twice, shook his head at Nangong Li's eyes, and then only picked up the tea in his hand to drink. Nangong Li naturally knew that Chu Yuan would not do this for no reason, and immediately his eyes swept sharply from all directions.
The two sat in silence for a moment. There was still no sound in the empty hall. Chu Yuan muttered slightly, "I don't know if the Xiliang Emperor has finished discussing it. The queen has worked hard to embroider embroidery for a long time, and even I like it very much. I think the Xiliang Emperor is even more so."
Nangong Li took a few sips of tea. At this moment, he took Chu Yuan's words and said, "I don't know that the queen can embroider. I heard that there is something wrong with the emperor recently?"
Chu Yuan's eyes lit up and immediately said, "How do you know?"
"Is that true?"
Chu Yuan sighed, "If you want to say that the queen is also pitiful, she is not liked by the emperor even if she has been married all the way. Previously, the emperor treated her very well. I don't know what happened in the past year. The emperor said that he neglected the harem to deal with political affairs all day long. In fact, it was because of the queen."
"What do you say?"
Nangong Li looked at Chu Yuan and said with interest. Chu Yuan looked at Nan Gongli and shook her head, but she did not stop. "Listen to the Empress Dowager's tone, it seems that the queen can't give birth, and the emperor is going to choose a new person to come in--"
"If this is the same, the queen is too lack of energy."
"We don't understand the queen's thoughts. These are just speculations. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager's birthday was an extremely important occasion. The emperor did not let the queen participate. At that time, with the Taifu of Xiliang present, I sweated for the emperor."
Some of the two people have nothing to say, and the purpose is unknown. I don't know if what they said will reach the ears of the person who should hear it. For a moment, the little official who had gone out before came into the door again. "Princess, prince, the emperor is rushing from the imperial study. Please wait a moment later--"
Chu Yuan and Nan Gong Li looked at each other. Nan Gong said, "Prepare the gift we brought. When the emperor comes later, we will give it to the emperor."
The little official answered and went out of the door. In an instant, there were only two of her in the hall. Chu Yuan's eyes were condensed for a moment, and she leaned in Nangong Li's ear and whispered for a moment. Nangong's eyes sank, looking at Chu Yuan's bright eyes and nodded.
For a moment, the sound of Luan driving and horse sounded outside the hall. Chu Yuan and Nan Gongli got up to meet him. As soon as they went out, they saw a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe coming down from the frame.
More than half a hundred years old, his face was slightly pale, and there were not a pair of small eyes shining on his wrinkled face. At this moment, his eyes passed from Chu Yuan and Nan Gongli's body, and finally nailed his eyes to Chu Yuan's body.
"Little girl Yu Ci, see the Emperor Xiliang!"
"Nang Gongli, see the Emperor of Xiliang!
The two saluted together, and the middle-aged man strode forward, and a pair of small eyes were fascinated by laughter. "Get up, get up quickly--"
A pair of big hands floated the two of them. Chu Yuan only felt that a domineering atmosphere was approaching. When she got up, she looked up and looked into a pair of deep and slender eyes. There was a smile in her eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Feng also simply helped him and left the main hall first. He was not a courteous person. At this moment, he sat in the main seat and raised his hand and said, "You two, sit down quickly. I'm really happy to see the post sent by you two today. There are some things to deal with, which makes you two wait for a long time."
Nangong Li smiled and said, "No, we are the younger generation, and we should wait, not to mention that we come to disturb the emperor today. It should be ours."
Feng Yi waved his hand, "Didn't you say that there was embroidery with an appenix dance? Come and let me have a look?"
Nangong Li waved his hand. Since someone sent the embroidery they had prepared, Feng also held the embroidery and looked at it. A few touch of sadness appeared on her smiling face. "I haven't seen it since I married Dayan. I also miss it very much. It's hard for her to let you bring it to me. This embroidery, I think she didn't even take a needle in those years. Unexpectedly, she went to Dayan and even learned embroidery--"
Fengyi's face was smiling, but Chu Yuan felt that there was a trembling chill in the smile. She and Nangong Li were stunned when they heard the words. Nangong Li immediately smiled and said, "Xiliang is not as popular as Dayan embroidery. The queen specially learned this new thing to give it to the emperor, and also hopes that the emperor can avoid the pain of thinking about the daughter. I don't know if the emperor likes it or not?
Feng Yi casually put the embroidery in his hand on the original tray, and his eyes fell on the two of them like a torch. "I like it, how can I not like it--"
