Chapter 341 Seeing off the bride

Before dawn the next day, Wang Xifeng, Ping'er and others respectfully saw Jia Lian off.

Arriving in front of the stable in the east cross courtyard, Wang Xifeng burst into tears after holding back the tears for a long time as he watched Jia Lian get on his horse.

In order not to make a fool of herself in front of the servants, she forced herself to act sternly and said to Zhaoer and other entourage: "Be more careful outside. You have to remember more things that you, the Second Master, have not considered. Reminder.

Protect your second master, and when you come back safely, everyone will be rewarded!"

Zhao'er, Zhang Yong and others immediately patted their chests after hearing this. Bang bang sound.

Several of them, Zhang Yong, knelt down on one knee and swore in accordance with the etiquette of family generals: "Don't worry, Second Grandma, as long as we still have lives, we will definitely protect the safety of Second Master.

Anyone who wants to harm Er Ye must step over our bodies.

We swear to protect Er Ye to the death!”

Except for Zhang Yong, a few , there were two rows of soldiers standing next to them, all of them were still complete recruits.

Seeing the pride and status of Zhang Yong, Feng Fei and others after they returned from Jia Lian's troops, at this moment, everyone was very excited.

Therefore, seeing the behavior of Zhang Yong and others, they immediately knelt down and shouted: "I will protect the second master to the death!!"

They are all young and energetic. A very young man, this sudden roar in unison was quite overwhelming.

The sound spread far away, waking up many sleeping people in both houses.

Wang Xifeng was also a little shocked by the scene in front of her. Fortunately, he was very determined and did not show any signs of timidity.

I was secretly surprised, how come these gangsters who used to live in different families and wait for death seemed to have changed drastically after they became soldiers under him.

Seeing their high-spirited looks, and the fact that she was the only one kneeling down to worship, Wang Xifeng felt an indescribable feeling of joy in her heart.

Sure enough, this is the status and reputation that a general's wife should have.

Looking at Qingwen and others next to them, how about being favored on a daily basis? At this moment, he could only stand aside and watch eagerly as she accepted the gift from Jia Lian's personal guards.

Don’t talk about them, even Mrs. Xing can’t compare to her brilliance at this moment. He was startled just now and couldn't help but take a step back.

Fortunately, I am not like her, otherwise wouldn’t I embarrass Jia Lian?

“Okay, mount up and get ready to go.”

Following Jia Lian's order, everyone got up and mounted their horses in one go, and soon they became a small team of cavalry.

Jia Lian bowed his hands to Mrs.

Subsequently, twenty or thirty riders followed one after another. Horses tramping along the long street, causing waves of roaring sounds of horse hooves.

This voice reached Ningguo Mansion.

In the brightly lit bedroom, Youshi, who got up early because she couldn't sleep, stroked her slightly bulging belly with one hand, feeling the fresh breath inside and murmuring:

"You must come back early, we are all waiting for you..."

...

The princess's marriage is a major diplomatic plan, which is enough to make the government and the public attention, and even the whole country celebrated.

In front of the Meridian Gate, a huge farewell platform has already been set up.

All personnel involved in rehearsing etiquette, music, as well as missions and relatives were in place under the arrangements of Honglu Temple.

At the right time, civil and military ministers and clan members all came to line up and form formations, making the scene more grand, majestic and spectacular.

After a while, the princes also came slowly under the leadership of the prince.

Beside the prince, in addition to the third prince, the fourth prince and his usual entourage, there was also a tall, sturdy young man.

Judging from his appearance, he can be considered handsome, which is in line with the aesthetics of the Central Plains people. Just from his slightly coquettish behavior and the fact that his head and face were obviously more hairy than those from the Central Plains, everyone who looked at him guessed that this was probably the third prince of Nawala.

It is also the person who will marry the eldest princess and bring the beauty home.

Because of this, many young people looked at him with vague hostility.

Jia Lian glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

Unexpectedly, after the prince led Prince Wala to have a brief chat in front of him, his eyes turned towards the delegation that sent the bride away.

The focus naturally falls on Jia Lian, the leader.

The prince then came over with Prince Wala and others.

“I have met His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Seeing the Crown Prince approaching, Jia Lian immediately straightened his posture and took the lead in saluting.

The prince nodded, then tilted his head and introduced to Prince Wala next to him: "This is our famous talent in the Wei Dynasty, the second-grade Zhenyuan General Jia Lian. He is also on this trip, and he is responsible for escorting our great general. Princess Wei andAn envoy from Qinwala. "

"This is the third prince of the Wala Royal Court. "The prince introduced Jia Lian again.

"It turns out to be General Jia, whom I have admired for a long time. ”

This Prince Wala is half a head taller than Jia Lian, and he looks more oppressive.

But he behaves very modestly and even enthusiastically. When he heard that the prince After the introduction, he rushed to greet Jia Lian with clasped fists before him.

“I dare not... meet the third prince. " Jia Lian cupped his fists and returned the salute. But he couldn't help but look carefully at the eyes of the Wala prince.

To be fair, if he wanted to make this trip go smoothly, he should have gone to see the Wala prince earlier.
>
Not to curry favor, just for coordination on the road, and we should get to know each other first.

But like most young talents, he had a natural affection for this Prince of Wala. Hostility.

Moreover, Jia Lian knew that Prince Wala spoke Chinese and was quite capable. In the past few months since he came to Beijing, he had gained a good reputation!

In this way, Jia Lian would naturally have no doubt that this Prince Wala might know that Princess Zhaoyang almost married him.

Thinking from his perspective, this Prince Wala should also He would not have a good impression of him.

He did not go to meet him. This Prince of Wala also seemed to be culturally illiterate and had no intention of contacting him.

So, It wasn't until today that he met the Wala prince for the first time.

"I just talked to the third prince and realized that he has not met you yet, so I specially introduced him to you two.

This journey is high and the road is long, so you two have to coordinate and take care of each other. When Wei and Wala successfully reconcile and form an eternal alliance, you two will be the biggest contributors! "

The prince said with a smile.

Jia Lian respectfully agreed, and Prince Wala nodded in agreement with a smile. Due to time constraints, the Minister of Rites had already taken the After writing a long manuscript, they walked to the stage and prepared to sing praises, so the two parties just said a few polite words and walked away.

The Minister of Rites preached that the emperors of the Wei Dynasty were enlightened and powerful, and the people were prosperous. Live and work in peace and contentment, the country is vast and the army is strong, and getting married to Wala is a life-and-death bond. It is meaningless to say that you will have no regrets for a hundred years.

Only a few people listened impassionedly and looked excited. .

More than half an hour passed before the Minister of Rites concluded his speech amidst the curses in the hearts of countless people.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally appeared.

After the complicated etiquette, the eunuch summoned Jia Lian to the stage.

　"I am a humble minister, I would like to pay homage to Your Majesty."

　"Get on your feet."

　"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jia Lian stood up and saw Emperor Ning Kang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stood up and walked down slowly.

Jia Lian’s expression became more and more respectful.

Emperor Ning Kang looked Jia Lian up and down, and sighed secretly when he saw his tall and handsome figure and extraordinary heroic posture.

As expected, I, the great Wei man, am pleased with me. Just now, Prince Wala stepped forward and paid homage to him as his prospective son-in-law, which really made him a little uncomfortable.

If this boy had not disobeyed the Queen Mother’s order, I’m afraid he would be my son-in-law by now!

After all, the matter has come to this, Emperor Ning Kang’s face straightened, and he said solemnly: “On this trip, I will leave the princess’ safety in your hands.

You must , deliver Zhaoyang safely to the court of Oala!"

"We will live up to your majesty's trust!"

" Nodding, Emperor Ningkang turned around and walked back. , and waved slightly towards Dai Quan beside him.

Dai Quan understood and sang loudly: "To the second-class general Zhenyuan, to the envoy Jia Lian, and to Shang Fang's sword~~"

Following Dai Quan's voice, A young eunuch bent over and presented a beautifully crafted sword.

Jia Lian did not take a closer look, took it with both hands, held it to the top of his head, and bowed to Emperor Ningkang again: "Jia Lian, thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly live up to His Majesty's kindness!"
< br />The legendary Shang Fang sword was finally obtained.

Although this thing was not a very rare item in ancient times. For example, according to the rules of this dynasty, any imperial minister who leaves the capital on special orders will basically receive a sword representing imperial power from Shang Fangsi.

The sword has different permissions depending on the format.

The weapon in his hand is just average, and it is far from the legendary level of being able to beat down an emperor or kill a greedy minister.

However, for some reason, even he, holding this thing in his hand, felt like he was holding the supreme imperial power. Most of the worries I had about this trip to Vara were gone at once!

Although things are dead, what they confer is supreme authority.

Returning to the mission with the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, Jia Lian could clearly see that the people around himThe way he looked at him was different.

Jealous? envious? fear?

It cannot be discussed one by one.

Everything is ready, the time is right, and the music of shengxiao and drums begins.

Everyone heard the sound and looked around.

A grand and magnificent phoenix chariot with eight treasures and pearls, more than one foot in length and width, slowly drove out from the central door.

Beyond and behind it are long ceremonial guards.

The ceremonial guard consisted of a large number of palace maids and eunuchs. Some of them held banners, some held precious fans, some held golden pots, and some carried boxes and cages.

When the phoenix chariot passed by the stage, it paused.

It seems to be preparing to give Princess Zhaoyang behind the gauze curtain the chance to say goodbye to her father for the last time.

But she did not come down.

This made many people who tried to take a last look at His Royal Highness Zhaoyang’s golden face feel deeply regretful.

…

The streets leading from the Imperial City to the West City Gate are strictly controlled by people from the Military and Horse Division.

Only a very narrow space is left on both sides of the road for the people in Beijing to watch the ceremony.

The princess's marriage is a great event that happens only once in ten years, so everyone who knows about it will go to the place where they must pass early and find a good seat to watch the excitement.

Even those who didn’t know about it originally joined in the fun when they heard such a big noise.

Jia Lian led thousands of soldiers and horses to clear the way. Not far from the imperial city, he saw a huge crowd of people.

Not only on both sides of the street, but also in the lofts next to it and the high points in the distance. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are watching and cheering.

Jia Lian couldn't see the various figures at a glance, thinking, maybe the sisters at home and his own women are among them, right?

Unfortunately, he couldn't find them one by one.

As a sender, he needs to maintain the best posture and etiquette at this moment.

Arriving at the city gate, the team took a break.

The prince and other people who wanted to see off his bride were only sent here.

On the other hand, the fourth prince, accompanied by a group of royal guards, looked lightly dressed and simple. It was obvious that he had obtained the emperor's permission to be sent out of the capital.

Even Jia Lian didn’t know where he was going to be sent.

The fourth prince seemed to be in a bad mood, and he was not as smiling as usual, so Jia Lian did not ask for trouble.

　……

　“Coming, coming!”

On the outskirts of Xicheng, a familiar hillside.

Zhi’er opened his eyes wide and looked straight in the direction of the capital.

Suddenly, I saw dense spots appearing on the distant road, and there were more and more spots. There was a faint sound of music, and Zhi'er suddenly shouted excitedly.

Behind her, on the slightly flat land, there was a low wooden table.

There is an incense burner on the table, as well as a few scattered treasures from the study.

Facing south, the maid holds a paper umbrella.

Under the umbrella, there is a woman who is as clean and flawless as jade. She was sitting at the table, holding a pen and writing the landscape in front of her with her eyebrows drawn.

It is Miaoyu.

Because she knew that Jia Lian was leaving Beijing from here today, she came here with her attendants since dawn.

It was boring to wait quietly, but occasionally I saw the sunrise here was very beautiful, so I ordered my servants to go back to Muni Courtyard to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

It’s a pity that even if the maid and others broke their legs, when the things were retrieved, most of the beautiful scenery had disappeared.

I have no choice but to turn to the pastoral scenery in the north.

I have already painted several paintings, but I am still trying to improve them, but I am not satisfied with them.

She was frowning slightly. When she heard Zhi'er's announcement, she immediately put down her pen and stood up from her stool.

As soon as I stepped out of the shadow of the paper umbrella, my white and tender skin felt the warmth of the sun.

He hesitated for a moment, turned around, took the paper umbrella from the maid's hand, came to Zhi'er's side, and looked up.

Sure enough, he is here.

However, with such a long distance and so many people, how can we determine who he is?

"It's a pity, I can't see where the second master is."

Zhi'er sighed helplessly, then turned around and asked: "Girl, have you seen it? ”

It was Miaoyu’s wish not to call the master, but to call the girl, and Zhijier did not dare to go against it.

Ignoring Zhi'er, although I didn't see the figure of my beloved, looking at the long dragon in front of me, I knew he was right in front of me, but I couldn't find him. The feeling suddenly felt like a spiritual spring. , nourishing her heart.

Miaoyu took a deep breath, dropped her gaze, and walked back to the painting table.

Handing the paper umbrella back to the maid, Miaoyu picked up the pen and drew a long scroll in just a few strokes.

In the painting, there are sun, mountains and rivers, and long queues of traffic.

Although there are only a few more spots than the previous scrap, and the faces of the people cannot be seen clearly, Miaoyu is very satisfied.

"Girl, no one can see you."

"Yes."

Miaoyu nodded and wrote on the scroll without any hurry. After inscribing a title and composing a poem, roll it up and put it away.

He stood up and glanced at the road in the distance, thinking that at their speed, anyone could catch up with them.

　I just don’t know if that person can see her thoughts from this painting...
