Chapter 258: Wanli Oil Building Zhao Saiyun

The banners were hunting, the honor guards were brilliant, I shrank in the golden jade covered car, the Qibao Yingluo and phoenix crown on my head made my neck sore, and my red crepe silk silk lacing embroidered with clouds and peacock pattern sleeves were covered with gems of various colors. With hundreds of gold beads the size of fingernails, it was too heavy to move. The wind blew in from the open car window and was smoked by the heater, the cold breath weakened, leaving only the refreshing coolness, which removed the dull air in the car.
I leaned on the embroidered pillow of the embroidered geese. I barely closed my eyes the night before. Now, as I set foot on the road, I was trapped by the bumps and closed my eyes slightly.
Last night, it was the last night of three days when Wang Tingzhong feasted for my marriage. Under the bright fireworks in the sky, among the beaming smiles of everyone, I saw my father gently wipe a drop of crystal from the corner of his eyes. So I couldn't hold back the tears, and finally hugged and wept with the mother and concubine who forced a smile on the side, and the grievances in my heart were out of control.
But this morning, you still have to follow the rules and make-up, put on the exquisite and complicated but breathless wedding gown, make a dignified and decent smile, bid farewell to the father and the queen, and board the expensive luan car. On the road of peace. And in this process, you can only smile, and you can't have half dissatisfaction, unwillingness, or unwillingness, and you can't have a tear to shed for this homeland that has never been returned.
Three months ago, drunk soldiers on the border invaded Daxi Border Town, robbed several houses, raped several women, and injured several civilians. Therefore, Emperor Zhangxuan of Daxi raised his troops to suppress the realm. My Rouran country is weak, how can I contend with Daxi of Xuanhe. The father beheaded the soldiers who caused the accident and offered treasures and specialties to comfort Emperor Xuan's wrath. After that, I don't know who said before the father, for the long-term peace of Rouran, it is better to adopt the policy of peace.
So I was selected from several princesses and embarked on this road of no return.
In fact, the father and the king asked her fifth sister Zhenshu to go, but Zhenshu was only ten years old. How could her mother and concubine allow her young daughter to marry away and hang herself with a rope, but she was saved in time. The eldest sister and the second sister were married a long time ago, the fourth sister was slightly weak, and the other sisters were still in his arms, leaving me alone, the princess most cherished by the father.
For the long-term stability of Rouran and the harmony with Daxi, I wiped away my tears and invited myself to marry.
The journey is long and boring. My heart is full of sorrow, hatred and unwillingness. I spend the rest of the day in the car except for walking around for a while while resting at the inn at night.
There is a lot of space inside the car, with narrow beds, sitting couches, low tables, book cages, dressing tables, and cushions for the maids to rest. At this moment, Anya is boiling the black tea, adding fresh milk, and then throwing into the sugar cubes. The mellow and sweet smell slowly diffuses in the car, and the white smoke is faintly. I remember that this method of drinking was the mother concubine’s first creation. She was far away Coming from Persia, with high nose and deep eyes, he was shocked as a heavenly man, and he was loved by his father. In my memory, the mother and concubine always handed the first cup of milk tea to the father and the king, and the two smiled at each other, and their tenderness and sweetness were silent. Once upon a time, I was very envious of the love between them, and I hope I can find such a person, who treats me as precious and indulges everything about me.
But when the mother concubine’s appearance is gradually aging, the father no longer stares at her face; when the mother concubine’s figure gradually becomes blessed, the father no longer stops in her palace; when the mother concubine is implicated in the sudden death of the second brother, the father no longer Believe her words; when all the evidence points to her mastermind, the father finally confines her to the luxurious Fangfei Garden and allows her to fend for herself.
So I invite myself to marry, and I only ask my father to treat my mother and concubine favorably for my dedication to the country, and at least let her live decently and die decently.
"Princess, please use tea." Anya handed me the warm tea. I sighed and stopped remembering the past.
"The slave girl frowned when she saw the princess, but she was worried that Daxi was unhappy?" She picked out a few rose cakes from the food box and put them in front of me, hiding her mouth with a smile: "Look at the princess, don't worry, princess Ruoran’s beauty is famous, I’m afraid that Emperor Daxi would love it when he saw it."
I put down the milk tea and sighed faintly: "Is the lonely the only thing left to attend Israel?"
Only then did Anya realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she repeatedly convicted her. I knew she was kind enough to persuade me, so I took a piece of rose cake to her and asked, "Anya, you have been with Gu, and you have also seen your mother and concubine encounter. Do you still think it is a good thing to marry alone in the palace?
Anya was silent for a while before saying: "The servant girl knows that the princess wants to find a benevolent man, Qin Se and Ming You Ran will live a lifetime. However, now the princess needs to hold on to the heart of Emperor Da Xi in order to make Rouran safe and close. This is not in vain. Your dedication."
I stared at the slightly rippling rose-colored milk tea, bit my lips tightly, and nodded: "I know, so no matter what, I will try my best to get Emperor Zhangxuan's favor." Then I felt aggrieved. Tears couldn't help but fall.
The convoy has been driving for nearly a month, smoothing the sands and clank of Populus euphratica, adding countless feelings of loneliness.
A month later, the city of Taian on the border of Daxi was in sight. I saw the towering walls, like a solid fortress on an empty plain, indestructible. And the golden armor warriors of Chengtou all looked sacred and heroic. The majesty revealed by this border city shows the supremacy of the overlord of the Central Plains. It's hard to compare my Ruoran capital with it, and it's reasonable for my father to be a minister.
Entering Tai'an is regarded as officially entering Daxi. The envoy sent by Emperor Zhangxuan was waiting here.
I slowly dropped from the golden jade-covered car, and the golden bead curtain in front of me dangled slightly. A man dressed as a general bowed to me: "Please take the princess."
He sounded like a huge bell, and his eight-foot, burly figure surprised me, and there was a little fear in my heart. But he calmed down for a moment, and Shili waited for Emperor Zhangxuan's will.
"Feng Tian, ​​the emperor said, here is the Princess Rouran Nangong, Dan Zhong Cuimei, Han Zhang will show up. The marriage is gifted to Yu Wang Shen Xihe, to show the sincerity of the friendship between the two countries and the solid intention of the stability of the two countries."
I was taken aback, not asking me to enrich the harem, but to be Princess Yu? King Yu..., isn't it the victorious general, Shen Xihe, who was frightened by the Daxi border army! According to rumors, he is nine feet tall, has a face like a yaksha, is cruel, and has a grumpy temperament. Therefore, he has not married a concubine until now, and the only two side concubines were selected by Emperor Zhangxuan from his show girls and forced to send them. To go.
I took another look at the man in front of me, imagining that Wang Yu was even more frightening than this one, and I couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Highness, Your Highness." Anya gently pulled my sleeves, and I reacted and quickly thanked me, but I was extremely sad.
"Please enter the city, the princess!" the man said loudly.
I force myself to calm down and want to return to the carriage, but I see the man sideways, a red sandalwood and purple gold seven-treasure carriage drawn by eight horses, and the walls of the carriage are carved out of acacia, roses, lilies and other happy flowers, mandarin ducks, wild goose, Swans, magpies and other birds that symbolize loyalty are the two big ones I used in Luan Cha, and there are even porches for viewing, which is jaw-dropping.
"Princess, please get in the car." The big man made a request to me, but his tone was beyond doubt.
I looked at Anya, she helped me by the arm and followed me to board the luxurious carriage.
There was a half-old maid sitting on the knees in the car. Seeing me coming in, she gave a salute first and then said: "His Royal Highness, the maidservant is here to serve you on an order to serve you. All the daily expenses on your journey are the responsibility of the maidservant. "
She glanced at Anya and slowly said: "The princess has been given to the king of Yu to marry. From now on, she is no longer Princess Rouran, but my Princess Daxi. Everything related to Rouran can be returned."
Anya was startled and exclaimed: "What is the truth? I am the princess's personal servant, so naturally I want to stay with the princess."
I was horrified by Chunxi's words, "Everything related to Rouran will return?" I pointed to the army and the maid's inmate who were accompanying outside: "Aren't they leaving with the lonely?"
Mother Chunxi was peaceful: "If you go back to the princess, that's the case."
"Mother Chunxi," I held Anya's hand tightly: "Anya is a maid who has served her side since she was a child, and she cannot be separated from her."
Mother Chunxi glanced at Anya coldly, thought for a while and said, "Then she can only be left alone."
The big man outside also announced the matter, and the entourage was in an uproar, full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness, but it was not enough to resist the deterrence of the Daxi army, and he gave up after arguing for a while.
Mother Chunxi gave up seeing the people outside, and she smiled a little and told Luan to drive into the city.
I watched the people who accompanied me hand in the tribute dowry to the Daxi welcoming team. Even the Tai'an City Gate had no easy access to return, and their faces were full of anger and grievance, but I was helpless.
After all, for the sake of peace, even the most precious princess was sent to another country without being welcomed into the palace, but just being a princess, it can be seen that Emperor Zhang Xuan did not put Rouran in his eyes.
But what can I do? As a tribute, I have no choice.
