Chapter 434 Third Class Guards

In the martial arts field to the east of the Princess Mansion, more than a dozen young eunuchs and four or five palace maids were arranged and arranged in full swing under the command of Princess Zhaoyang. Performance weapons.

At this time, Princess Zhaoyang was still dressed in the same military uniform as when Jia Lian first saw her, looking clean and capable.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, she looked along the road, with a look of joy in her eyes.

"Sister Huang~!"

The fourth prince jumped off his horse and ran to Princess Zhaoyang very happily.

Who knew that his royal sister seemed not to see him at all, her eyes as bright as stars, only looking at his side.

“Jia Lian, a humble minister, please see His Highness Zhaoyang.”

“Marquis Zhenyuan does not need to be polite.”

Princess Zhaoyang took two steps forward. , looked at Jia Lian, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the Marquis Zhenyuan looks even better than before."

"Your Highness is so complimentary. Your Highness's heroic appearance is incomparable to others. Now that I am out of the palace and in charge of my own government, I will definitely stir up the storm in the sacred capital, and let ordinary people like me have the opportunity to see the brilliance of the bright moon."

"Hehehe... The Marquis of Zhenyuan is becoming more and more eloquent, but I This house has just been acquired, and many places still need to be repaired, so for the time being I still live in Weiyang Palace and cannot stay outside." Princess Zhaoyang lifted her black hair and said with a bright smile.

Listening to his imperial sister’s heartfelt laughter, the fourth prince was a little unhappy that his imperial sister had ignored him. He even frowned and stared intently at the two complimenting each other.

If there is a problem...

Just Sister Huang. My imperial sister has always been informal, so praising a man who is kind to her in person is nothing.

But in his mind, Jia Lian was a very cautious and steady person, so how could he shamelessly praise his sister in person, and say it in such a disgusting way that it gave him goosebumps!

The fourth prince, who did not want his imperial sister to be confused by Jia Lian, squeezed between Princess Zhaoyang and Jia Lian and said with a smile: "Emperor Sister, your princess palace is really too big. I've come in twice, and I almost got lost just now..."

Princess Zhaoyang had to look at him, her smile faded, and she said to him: "That's because you are stupid. Okay. , you came just in time. Don’t you like to play with swords, guns, swords and halberds the most? Go and help me command those people and arrange all the weapons for me."

" Oh, okay."

Although the fourth prince was reluctant, he still obeyed the order.

Although there is no interruption from the light bulb, it is impossible for Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang to communicate further in public.

Just look at each other a few times, seeing each other's thoughts in their eyes and remembering them in their hearts.

Suddenly she saw Aqi and Aqin standing by and waiting quietly. Princess Zhaoyang raised her hand high to call them over.

"Back outside the Great Wall, you pretended to be me and helped me lure away my pursuers. I promised you at that time that as long as you could come back alive, I would not treat you badly. Now that it has taken me so long, I will not treat you badly. "No, have you ever scolded me in your heart?"

Princess Zhaoyang looked at Ah Qin with a smile and asked jokingly.

Ah Qin was a little nervous. Although she knew that Princess Zhaoyang was probably one of her father's women, after all, Princess Zhaoyang's identity was there, and she did not dare to offend her, so she hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

Seeing that she was so cautious, Princess Zhaoyang stopped teasing her. She took out a token from her arms and said with a smile: "The reason why I didn't mention this on the way back to the capital is that I forgot, but I had already planned it.

According to the ritual system of the Wei Dynasty, if I can open a mansion and build a tooth, there will be five places for third-class guards in the mansion, and each place will be , are all fifth-level positions.

If you are willing, take this token, and from now on, you will be a third-class bodyguard under my princess’s residence.

With this status, even if you are in Jia's house in the future, no one will dare to look down upon you."

Princess Zhaoyang said and gave Jia Lian a special look.

Jia Lian’s expression moved slightly, a little surprised, but he had no intention of intervening.

The third-class bodyguard is the lowest level of the royal bodyguard. But even the lowest grade is still fifth grade.

According to the system, the county king can only send out a maximum of two high-ranking royal guards, and he can only send out third-class guards.

The prince has much greater authority and can dispatch five third-class guards and two second-class guards. Second-class bodyguard, fourth rank.

On top of the second- and third-class guards, there are naturally first-class guards.

But first-class guards are only qualified for the emperor. Of course, the Supreme Emperor can do it too.

For example, the famous imperial guard Long Jinwei has a total of three hundred people. Among them, the most common Dragon Guards are all third-class guards, with a rank of fifth rank. First class bodyguard, rank three.

According to the ancestral system of the Wei Dynasty, any prince who opens a palace and builds teeth when he is sixteen years old, as long as he has not committed any serious mistakes or is very disgusting to the emperor, can be awarded the title of prince.

Princess Zhaoyang, as a princess who had already had a separate title, was originally the prince.Now that she has opened a palace, she can naturally appoint two second-class guards and five third-class guards.

Ah Qin is familiar with the culture of the Central Plains. She also knows the meaning of a royal guard, and she also knows how important it is to her if she can get this status.

So when she suddenly heard Princess Zhaoyang say that, she was very moved.

In the official-based society of the Wei Dynasty, having a rank was really important.

It can be said that once she received the title of bodyguard of Princess Zhaoyang Mansion, in the entire Jia Mansion, except for a few people such as Jia Lian and Jia Mu, no one else would dare to disrespect her anymore. .

Including those masters and masters who have no foundation, that is, no rank or destiny. If she is willing, she can even ask the other party to meet her first.

Therefore, the gift given to her by Princess Zhaoyang is not unimportant. It can even be said that it is tailor-made for her.

There are many benefits, but she doesn’t dare to ask for them. When she and her sister came to the Central Plains, they did not come to the Central Plains to be officials, but wanted to follow Jia Lian.

Now she has abandoned her sister and Jia Lian and worked as a bodyguard in the princess's mansion. What's going on? Just as she was about to decline politely, Princess Zhaoyang saw her thoughts and said in advance: "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to follow me from now on.

Even after you accept the token, You can also continue to follow your Marquis, just think of it as me, and send him off alone."

Princess Zhaoyang said, casting a playful look at Jia Lian, as if asking, how? Repay her kindness.

Originally, Ah Qin was just an insignificant figure in her heart. The reason why she was willing to spend some time on it was just for Jia Lian's sake. Moreover, showing kindness to Aqin can be regarded as an open and honest way of placing a "one of our own" beside Jia Lian.

She is happy to do such a thing.

I thought that since she had thought so carefully, Ah Qin would have no reason to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Ah Qin knelt down with a thud, "I thank the princess for your kindness, but I have one more unkind request. I hope the princess can agree."

"Huh? Tell me."

"Yes, I know that the princess is willing to give this status to you, just for the sake of our Lord.

" I am also very grateful for the kindness of the princess. However, the servant is not talented enough. Since I followed our Marquis, I have always relied on the Marquis and my sister to protect me. I have no credit.

And my sister , I have been diligently practicing archery, horse riding, and archery since I was a child, and helped the Marquis achieve many meritorious deeds. Therefore, I want to implore the princess to use this opportunityYes, give it to my sister Aqi.

Only in this way can we truly match our virtues and positions, and only in this way will it be more helpful to my Marquis. ”

Hearing what Ah Qin said, Princess Zhaoyang was a little surprised.

She knew very well that she would give the other party a third-class status without asking him to switch to her account. The identity of a bodyguard, for people like Ah Qin who have no foundation in the Central Plains, is equivalent to gaining a foundation out of thin air. What a precious opportunity this is?

She did not expect that Ah Qin would be willing to Give this opportunity to her sister.

Although Aqi didn’t quite understand the relationship between the third-class guards, she knew from her sister’s performance that it was a very important thing.

She was very moved, but she was not good at expressing herself. After hesitating for a while, she also imitated her sister, knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't need this, but the princess can reward Ah Qin as promised." "

Princess Zhaoyang raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jia Lian with admiration in her eyes.

During the original trip to Wala, Aqi and Aqin followed Jia Lian. . Especially Aqi, she rode the same horse with her for a long time on the way back from the desert. Therefore, Princess Zhaoyang has some understanding of these two Tatar women.

She didn’t expect that the two sisters had such a good relationship and would be so humble when faced with such an opportunity.

It can be seen that Jia Lian either has a keen eye for discerning pearls, or is blessed with deep blessings. Only then could he pick up such a good person.

Seeing that Jia Lian was inconvenient to interfere with her sisters, Princess Zhaoyang waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "I thought it was something big. It’s rare for you to be so affectionate towards your sister. In this case, I will simply be more generous and grant you the status of a third-class bodyguard. "

Princess Zhaoyang said, beckoning someone to get another token for a third-class guard.

Jia Lian advised in due course: "This is not appropriate, Your Highness. There are only five places in total, so I only gave two to me, which is too presumptuous for me. "

Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? I don't need so many people around me anyway, so I just think it's an advantage for you. Anyway, the thing about your transgression..."

Princess Zhaoyang wanted to take the opportunity to tease Jia Lian, but she stopped when she saw her silly brother coming over.

Four The prince also saw the situation just now, and when he came to Jia Lian's side, he couldn't help but smile mischievously: "Are these the two women you snatched back from the grassland? That's really good. I will definitely lead my troops to the Tartar King's Court sometime and snatch two of the Tartar King's daughters back..."

"Okay, then Your HighnessBut don't forget to take Wei Chen with you. Wei Chen can give directions to His Highness and tell His Highness which of the Tatar King's daughters is good-looking. "

"Uh-huh, okay, okay..." The fourth prince said so loudly that he actually blushed when Jia Lian retorted a joke.

That's right, after all. People who have not yet married a wife can pretend to be wild and dissolute.

　“Humph. "

Princess Zhaoyang looked at Jia Lian and started to discuss this kind of deal in front of her. She snorted softly, turned around and supported Ah Qin, and asked her two sisters to stand up. These two, from now on In name, they are considered hers.

They must watch over Jia Lian carefully and not be allowed to mess around with others outside.
