Chapter 180 Tears
Autumn nights always seem to be extraordinarily long. It has passed, but the sky is still dark and calm. The wind is not big, but it is a little cold. Even if a brocade has been added, Zhao Qiong still feels cold all over her body and can't help trembling. In the past, her red and tender face was always reflected in the light of the lantern. It is particularly pale, and the fragile appearance makes the purple cuckoo feel extremely sad.
"Miss, it's still early. You'd better go to the carriage and rest first. There are slaves here to watch. It's not too late for Your Highness to call you again." Finally, the little maid Purple Cuckoo couldn't stand it anymore, so she made a word of persuasion. She was kind-hearted, but it was only Zhao Qiong's stubborn shaking of her head.
"Miss, you haven't rested all night. In case you get sick, how can you give birth? Alas, Your Highness is really, no one shows up, just sent a maid to deliver letters, really..." When the little maid saw that Zhao Qiong did not move, she pouted and chattered and buried it up.
"No nonsense. If you are afraid of the cold, just go back to the carriage by yourself."
Zhao Qiong can't tolerate anyone criticize Li Xian, even if it's a sister-like purple cuckoo. Hearing this, the purple cuckoo began to talk nonsense, and her face immediately became rigid and scolded unhappily.
"Okay, okay, isn't it wrong for the purple cuckoo?" Seeing that his young lady lost his temper, Zijuan did not dare to be presumptuous. He spit out his tongue and apologized perfunctorily. But as soon as he stopped for a moment, he then persuaded him, "Miss, you'd better take a rest first. Your Highness may not know when he will go out of the city. It's not a way to wait like this."
Isn't it a way? Indeed, Zhao Qiong also knows that waiting like this is really a stupid way, but in addition, Zhao Qiong can't think of a better way. She can't go directly to the King of Zhou's Mansion. That's too unconformal. In case it causes the criticism of people with intentions, I'm afraid the serious consequences are not very interesting. On the other hand, it is also dangerous to meet Li Xian at this city gate. However, no matter how many risks there are, Zhao Qiong will meet Li Xian, even if she just looks at him from a distance, just because Li Xian is about to go on an expedition.
Zhao Qiong doesn't know where Tubo is, and she doesn't want to know. All she knows is that Ailang is going to fight with Tubo people. This time, everything can happen. Zhao Qiong is prepared for the worst. In case Li Xian is careless, she will never live alone. She doesn't want to keep this in her heart. She wants to tell him in person. Zhi Ailang, so she waited here and waited for a long time in the middle of the night. What she was afraid of missing the time when Ailang left the city.
"Miss, I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Just as Zhao Qiong bit her red lips and meditated, a rumble of horseshoe sounded at the far end of the long street. Although it was dark, it was impossible to see who was coming, but the purple cuckoo couldn't help but jump.
Is he coming? It should be! Listening to the rapid sound of horses' hoofs at the end of the long street, Zhao Qiong's heart rolled through a panic for no reason. She quickly reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and tidied up her skirts in a panic, and then anxiously looked at the distant end of the dark long street.
The horse team came quickly and rushed across the long street like a whirlwind, that is, it slowed down when the prescription of the city gate had not yet been opened. The first lion sitting on the horse was Li Xian, the king of Zhou - the speed of soldiers is the only way to use soldiers, especially if you want to take advantage of the false attack. The Tubo people who hit the new victory can't tolerate the slightest delay and hesitation. Otherwise, once the harsh winter comes, the battle will not go on. Li Xian doesn't want to go on the air. Yesterday, he just received the imperial edict and the military charm. Early this morning, Li Xian led more than a hundred guards to embark on a journey in order to catch the fleeting battle. Machine!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Miss is here, here."
Zhao Qiong looked forward to Li Xianlai, but when Li Xian came close, she suddenly became timid. She just looked at Li Xian, who was slowly galloping, and did not dare to come forward to say hello. However, the purple cuckoo did not have any scruples. From afar, she waved the lantern in her hand and shouted in a delicate voice.
"Joun?"
This military situation is urgent. If it hadn't been for the fact that there were many things that had to be done in the house, Li Xian would have got up last night. Of course, no matter how busy Li Xian would not forget to send someone to send a letter to Zhao Qiong. He had already explained what should have been explained - Li Xian only made a request in front of Gao Zong, that is, if he could Returning triumphantly, he was willing to ask Gao Zong to allow him to choose Zhao Qiong as the princess. Although Gao Zong was surprised by Li Xian's boldness - since ancient times, the prince got married, which had to be personally designated by the emperor. There has never been an example of the prince choosing his own concubine, especially Zhao Qiong who had been involved in the case of Lion Tail Lane, which made Gao Zong even more surprised. It's just that when it came to the bottom, Ai Zi's heart still had the upper hand. Gao Zong reluctantly agreed to Li Xian's request. In the letter, although Li Xian did not explain the situation at the time of driving in detail, he had clearly told Gao Zong that he had agreed to the marriage. After mentioning this triumph, he would openly marry Zhao Qiong. It's better to stay at home and go out less, but he never thought that Zhao Qiong would appear here. Li Xian was shocked and quickly turned over and got off his horse. A few big steps flashed in front of Zhao Qiong.
"Your Highness..."
Looking at Li Xian's heroic face, Zhao Qiong shed tears first. After a soft call, she choked and couldn't say any more, but looked at Li Xian with confused eyes.
"Don't cry, Qiong'er, if you go here, it will be three months. If you slow down for half a year, you will come back. It's okay, you..."
Li Xian's ability to coax girls was really lacking. At this sight, Zhao Qiong burst into tears, and her heart was in great pain. She hurriedly wanted to comfort her, but when she was about to say something, it was obviously incoherent.
"Puff."
Seeing Li Xian's confusion, Zhao Qiong was teased into tears and laughed. After a smile, her face turned red in an instant. She lowered her head and did not dare to look into Li Xian's eyes.
"Joon's..."
Although Li Xian was not good at coaxing girls to make girls happy, he was not amorous fool. At this sight of Zhao Qiong's shyness, he was not very hesitant. After a soft call, he stretched out his hand and hugged Zhao Qiong into his arms.
"Ah..."
Zhao Qiong obviously didn't expect Li Xian to make such a Meng Lang's move in such a public eye. She was so shocked that she shouted softly and wanted to refuse, but her body was not obedient and was tired of Li Xian's arms.
At this moment, time is frozen; at this moment, the dark sky is blown up with gorgeous colors; at this moment, the world no longer exists. Only the heart and the heart are mixed together. Language is no longer enough to describe such harmony, and the vows are also superfluous, just because the heart and the heart are far away. It is far better than the vows of the world.
"What are you looking at? Turn your head for me!"
Li Xian's action of embracing beauty on the street is naturally not surprising in modern times, but in the Tang Dynasty, it is very rare. A group of relatives and guards of the royal palace were all dumbfounded. They all opened their mouths and their chins fell to the ground. Finally, Jiang Ye woke up and scolded everyone rudely and was stunned. It made all the bodyguards look back, but Jiang Ye ate alone and looked at the strange "scescape" with a thief's smile on his face.
"Squeaky...boom!"
I don't know how long it took. Li and Zhao still hugged each other tightly. Others did not dare to come forward and disturb them casually. However, the harsh sound of the guarding army opening the gate became the culprit of the evil scenery.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to start. I'm here waiting for you to come back."
Hearing the loud noise from the direction of the city gate, although he was reluctant and wanted to get tired of Li Xian's warm arms from now on, reason reminded Zhao Qiong that it was time to send him off. Therefore, Zhao Qiong raised her head with difficulty, looked at Li Xian's eyes as bright as a morning star, and said softly.
"Well, I'm leaving alone. Qiong'er is so solemn. It's cold. Let's come back earlier."
Li Xian didn't want to let Zhao Qiong leave, but the military situation was urgent. It really couldn't be delayed. In desperation, he had to take a deep look at Zhao Qiong. After telling a word, he turned around and walked to the horse, turned over and turned up. Jiang Ye, who frowned, waved his hand and ordered loudly, "Let's go!" As soon as the words fell, the whip jumped horse and rushed to the gate cave first. Seeing this, a group of guards did not dare to neglect it. They followed Li Xian one after another. In the sound of horses' hoofs, the group of people had gone to the distance...
"Miss, come back. Your Highness has gone far away."
Looking at the away horse team, Zhao Qiong's eyes turned red again, and her small nose twitched gently. Two lines of tears ran down the white jade-like cheeks again, standing in the wind into a sad and beautiful scenery. Only the little maid, the purple cuckoo, was very distressed and had to whisper a word.
"If you give birth to a concubine, you will give birth to a concubine, and you will follow. Your Highness, take care!"
Zhao Qiong ignored Zijuan's good advice and still stood still. After a long time, her red lips gently opened and made a vow softly. Then she resolutely turned around and walked slowly to the carriage parked aside, but she did not find that there was a pair of eyes on the roof not far from the gate. Staring silently at her back, the owner of these eyes turned out to be Ming Chongyan in white!
Ming Chongyan has a handsome face that most women in the world are ashamed of. He Lan Minzhi, who is known as the most beautiful man in Beijing, is a little more evil. But at this moment, this face is twisted and almost ferocious. A pair of eyes that could be called "bright" are full of complex looks, jealous and jealous. Yes, there is resentment and anger, and there is a little viciousness and madness...
