Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 17: Chief asks for marriage

Yaoying followed behind the eunuch, slowly ascending the moss-scarred long steps.

The cold star first falls, and the morning light is dew.

The bell of dawn rang throughout the hall.

The flickering candlelight faintly showed through the mullioned window of Vermillion. Li Deqin was engaged in political affairs, and he would summon the ministers of the political affairs hall for discussion almost every day.

The **** entered the hall to report.

Yaoying stood on top of Danchi, looking back at the magnificent palace standing on the mountainside in the distance, there was no expression on her face as white as the first snow.

In the northeastern corner of Miyagi, there are many ridges and ridges, and the towers and halls are located in it.

That was the imperial palace built by the last emperor of the previous dynasty to escape the summer heat. Tai Chi Palace is low-lying. In summer, it is humid and sultry. The corners with insufficient sunlight are covered with wet moss. The Li Palace is built on the mountainside. It is majestic and magnificent.

Yaoying secretly calculated that when the Brahman medicine was found out, she had to find a way to move Concubine Xie to the palace.

Tai Chi Palace is too sultry and too close to right and wrong.

A damp morning breeze blew, and the chill was so cold that Yaoying couldn't help but slapped her spirits together, and gathered the folded branches of the scalloped lotus on the moon white ground with a valiant scarf on her shoulders.

The **** walked out and invited her in.

It was already bright, and several candles were still burning on the gilt lamp tree in the corner of the temple. Li De sat in front of the dragon's table and read the memorial. His hair was pale, like an evening flower blooming quietly in the dark, and there was a quiet Qinghua lingering all over his body. .

Yaoying stepped forward.

Li De looked at the memorial unfolding on the case, and said: "The birthday of the Buddha will be in a few days. The noble concubine cannot be a director. The princess will preside over the ceremony. Princess Fukang will marry Chief Yelu soon, and the princess wants Sending off Princess Fukang to her marriage, but you can’t take care of it, so you can help the princess preside over the puja."

Yaoying was startled, she thought that Li De called her to ask Concubine Xie.

After Li De gave orders, he didn't care what Yaoying's reaction was, and waved her to leave.

Yaoying didn't want to have anything to do with the East Palace, but she knew that since Li De called her in person to tell her, she would not allow her to make excuses, so she could only calmly answer yes and withdraw from the inner temple.

Concubine Xie, the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, could not manage the palace affairs. Many ceremonies were taken care of by the princess Zheng Biyu. The ceremony of the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony was set up in the Linde Hall. The Scripture Incense Plate and the Golden Buddha had been arranged. Zheng Biyu was afraid that there were still mistakes and omissions, so he personally watched the palace people sweep the palace room.

Yaoying arrived at Linde Hall and asked Zheng Biyu what she needed to do.

Zheng Biyu smiled and said, "Don't dare to make Qiniang tired. The women who ordered the Chaozhong will attend this puja. Qiniang helped me out with them."

Yaoying has an awkward relationship with Li Xuanzhen, but she has never had a rift with Zheng Biyu, nodded, and said, "That's what Auntie told me."

Zheng Biyu was really busy and dizzy. The two hadn't said a few words, and people kept coming into the hall to ask her for advice.

Yaoying listened to a few words and found that they were all asking about Princess Fukang, and she was secretly nagging: Zheng Biyu was preparing a dowry for Zhu Luyun.

The Xu married storm has settled like this?

Yaoying remained calm.

After returning to the palace, Chang Shi reported to her: "Your lord, the day for Princess Fukang's outing and surrender has been set, and it will be three months later."

Yaoying asked suspiciously: "Is there no movement in the East Palace?"

Chang Shi said: "The Chief History of the East Palace sent many portraits of beautiful women and gold and silver treasures to Chief Yelu, persuading Chief Yelu to marry him, but the Chief did not agree."

Chief Yelu is not stupid, Zhu Luyun's identity is not ordinary, since he has stubbornly offended the Central Plains dynasty, he naturally wants to marry a princess with the heaviest weight.

It seems that Zhu Luyun is making herself up for herself this time, and she really wants to marry the grassland.

Yaoying still feels uneasy.

The next day, Xie Qing sent a letter from Li Zhongqian.

Yaoying read her brother's letter, feeling a little more at ease in her heart, and wrote her reply overnight.

In the following days, the middle of Beijing was calm.

Zheng Biyu knew that Yaoying would not be able to step into the East Palace. Whenever she consulted with her, he always asked her to go to the Linde Hall. He was generous and calm.

Because of this, Xie Qing is still worried, and follows Yaoying every day, almost inseparable.

He has a strong and tall physique, and one stop there is as tall as a mountain.

Zheng Biyu's maid euphemistically suggested: The prince is an Dong Gong woman, and Xie Qing is a foreigner, so he should avoid it.

Xie Qing said stiffly: "I am the subordinate of the Seventh Princess, and I will never leave the princess a step away."

The maid fell down with anger.

Zheng Biyu didn't say anything. She knew that Xie Qing was famously foolish. As long as Li Yaoying gave an order, he would resolutely execute it without asking a word. Even if Li Yaoying ordered him to commit suicide, he would not hesitate to raise a knife to kill himself.

It was the day of the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony in a blink of an eye.

Yaoying stayed in the palace the night before, and got up before dawn in the morning.

Zheng Biyu's heavy makeup and ceremonial clothes were standing in the inner hall and commanding the palace people. He saw Yaoying wearing a lotus crown, a silver red shirt and a green skirt, and smiled and said: "Qiniang looks beautiful. It’s going on, but today is the Fa conference. Is Qiniang dressed a little more plainly?"

Yaoying didn't care about the authenticity: "Buddhist Falun Gong, why do you need to show up?"

Zheng Biyu shook his head, called a few court ladies, forced Yaoying to press in front of the bronze mirror, rubbed her with rouge, painted her eyebrows, attached Cuitian, painted sandalwood, and applied lipstick.

Yaoying is already outstanding in appearance, this dress is a bit less girlish, her eyes are flowing, and she is inexhaustible.

The palace lady was photographed by her countenance, and she was quiet for a moment.

Zheng Biyu couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder the gangsters in Beijing secretly said that Princess Seven is the number one beauty.

After returning to her senses, she took the bamboo scissors and twisted a half-opened peony flower hairpin beside Yaoying's temple.

The fateful wife drove into the palace one after another, and Yaoying went to socialize.

The prime minister's wife held her hand and said, "You won't come to the spring banquet. I will hold a tea banquet in a while. Mengdingshihua from Jiannan and Yangxian from Changzhou are all good tea. You must come!"

Yaoying smiled and agreed.

After a little bit of laughter, the maid came over and said, "Your lord, the host of the Great Ci'en Temple has arrived."

Yaoying asked: "Where is the prince?"

The maid said: "His Royal Highness is talking to the princess, please come first, and she will arrive later."

Yaoying looked back and glanced down the gallery.

Xie Qing, who was standing in front of the steps, immediately understood her meaning, strode to her side, and followed her closely.

The puja has not yet begun, and the women ordered to gather in the side hall to have tea, surrounded by green beads and blooming flowers.

Zheng Biyu looked back several times, but did not find Li Yaoying's figure, and asked the court lady on the side: "Where is the seventh princess?"

The palace lady pointed to the north: "The Seventh Princess is going over there."

Zheng Biyu frowned: Why did the seventh princess leave suddenly?

Outside the Linde Hall, Li Xuanzhen stood in front of the steps, standing with his hands behind, with a thin layer of pale golden sunlight on his handsome face.

There were bursts of bold laughter from the bottom of the stairs, and Chief Ye Lu, who was wearing a braided shoulder and a lace hooded robe, walked into the front hall of the Linde Hall surrounded by a group of people.

Li Xuanzhen stood at the wind vent, her wide coat robe was filled with wind, and she watched Chief Ye Lu disappear from the back of the vermilion palace gate.

Qin Fei stood behind him with a struggling expression on his face: "His Royal Highness... Seventh Princess... Seventh Princess is your sister after all."

Although not a sibling sister, she is also a sister by blood.

Li Xuanzhen's thin lips pressed tightly.

Qin Fei whispered: "Subordinates shouldn't talk too much, but the subordinates think Wei Changshi's methods are too shameful. How can he calculate a little lady like this? According to the subordinates' ideas..."

Li Xuanzhen suddenly turned around.

Qin Fei jumped three feet high in fright, swallowing everything he hadn't finished, and he dared not speak.

Li Xuanzhen walked away with her back to Linde Hall.

In the Linde Hall, Yaoying stood under a pomegranate tree full of bright red flowers, waiting left and right, but did not see the host of the Great Ci'en Temple.

She asked the maid: "Why hasn't the host been here yet?"

The maid lowered her head and replied: "Your lord, wait a moment. A Jian said just now that the host has arrived in the outer hall."

Yaoying raised her eyes and looked at the maid carefully.

The palace lady's eyebrows drooped, let her look at it.

Yaoying frowned slightly.

Something's wrong!

She turned around and left.

The palace people looked at each other.

Without saying anything, Xie Qing clenched his saber tightly and hurriedly followed Yaoying.

The court lady who answered the question also stood there blankly, waiting for Yaoying to walk away before reacting, and quickly ran forward: "Your lord, the host will be here soon, why did you leave?"

Yaoying didn't say a word.

The lady of the court kept looking back and found a dozen figures approaching on the path leading to the front hall. She was overjoyed, and she was overwhelmed by her dignity and inferiority. She stretched out her hand to pull Yaoying: "Your lord, look, the host is here!"

Yaoying ignored the court lady and left without looking back.

The maid's heart slammed, and she ran a few steps to block Yaoying's way, with a smile on her face: "Your lord, look, the host is really here!"

Yaoying glanced at the court lady coldly.

The maid calmly said: "If you don't believe me, look back."

Yaoying didn't look back.

Xie Qing took a step forward, and the long knife came out of its sheath: "Go!"

The lady of the court did not expect that he would draw the sword when he said to draw the sword, screamed, and backed away trembling.

This deliberately raised scream attracted the attention of a group of people not far away, and dozens of eyes swept over.

Yaoying felt the strange gaze behind her, like a thorn on her back, subconsciously raised her sleeve to block her face, quickly crossed the corridor, and dodged into the nave.

A tall figure came over.

Yaoying walked too fast and didn't notice someone in front of her, so she bumped her head into his arms.

The other party was a thick-chested man, stretched out his long arms, took Yaoying's elbow, and helped her stand firmly.

Yaoying was taken aback, raised her head and met the opponent's icy gaze.

A pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes looked at her coldly.

Yaoying was stunned, and for a moment, her whole body was limp.

"That palace lady is the eldest brother's person? What does the eldest brother want to do?"

Her questioning voice was trembling.

Li Xuanzhen released his hand and looked away: "Go back to the back hall."

Yaoying's hands in her sleeves clenched fists lightly, her heart throbbing, and a layer of fine sweat under her shirt.

Li Xuanzhen turned away from her and turned away, her voice was as cold as ice and snow: "Go to the apse, don't come out."

Xie Qing chased after him, guarding against Yaoying, with the tip of his knife facing Li Xuanzhen.

There was no expression on Li Xuanzhen's face.

Talking and laughing came from outside the window, and the group of people got closer and closer.

"Go back to the back hall." Yaoying gently tugged at Xie Qing, decisively.

Xie Qing nodded, sheathed the long sword, and took Yaoying into the apse.

The figures of the master and servant had just disappeared behind the pillars, and Chief Yelu happily walked into the front hall and curiously said: "I just saw two people walking in that direction..."

Although the woman blocked her face, she knew that she must be a beauty at the sight of her exquisite and delicate figure, but it was a pity that he walked so fast that he hadn't seen her face clearly.

Wei Ming, who was accompanied by Chief Yelu, heard this, secretly despising Chief Yelu for shamelessness, but with a smile on his face, said: "Today's Buddha Birthday Ceremony was hosted by the Seventh Princess. The person just now seems to be the Seventh Princess."

Chief Yelu was suddenly interested.

He has heard of the Seven Princess, who is said to be a beautiful beauty, but it is a pity that the Seven Princess never attends palace banquets and polo matches, and he has never been able to see it.

Wei Ming sneered in his heart and looked around quickly for a week, looking for Li Yaoying's figure, and saw a person who shouldn't be here-Li Xuanzhen.

His face suddenly sank.

If you want the greedy Chief Yelu to give up Zhu Luyun, you can't rely on the portrait alone, you must let him see the seventh princess with his own eyes, in order to completely impress him.

The seventh princess was a simple one, and he arranged ingeniously, and finally found the opportunity to let Chief Yelu see the princess of the seven princesses, and the prince was actually a bad thing!

Yaoying had been hiding in the back hall for the next puja without showing up.

Chief Ye Lu didn't see Yaoying.

After many days of painstaking efforts, Wei Ming was frustrated.

Seven princesses had a defensive heart, and their strategy failed.

Unexpectedly, three days later, things turned around.

Chief Ye Lu presented a courteous proposal to marry the Seventh Princess.

Wei Ming couldn't believe his ears: "Chief Ye Lu clearly didn't see the seventh princess, why is he willing to give up Princess Fukang?"

The subordinates were also at a loss: "The subordinates don't know, the chief not only promised a replacement, but also said that as long as the saint promises a marriage, he is willing to be a forward for Wei Jun and help Wei Jun regain Liangzhou!"

Wei Ming was dumbfounded.
