Chapter 906 The Eldest Princess Returns to the Nest, Who Is Xia Ruxue
The dignified eldest princess, Xia Xiaoman, Jindan monk,
But inexplicably, my nose was sore, astringent, and a little touched by the senior brother's "go home".
She blinked hard, trying not to shed tears.
But this moving emotion didn't last long, but was instantly broken by the captain of the Shenwu Army who blocked the way:
"Hey! Stupid thief, where did you get the guts! How dare you pretend to be the late eldest princess, and die!"
Saying that, the heroic captain of the Shenwu Army couldn't help but slammed, and the knife flashed before the sound of the knife fell, and he slashed at the horse's head under Yi Lin's buttocks.
"oh?"
Yi Lin's eyes lit up, the knife was a bit interesting.
The horizontal knife was strangely fixed in mid-air, still a few inches away from the panicked horse's head. Yi Lin looked into Xiao Bing's eyes calmly, and said softly, "How dare you do anything to Princess Dagan?"
"It's a monk!"
The soldier looked at the "immobilized" knife, saw that the knife could not be pulled out at all, not only did not panic, but immediately retreated, pulled out a small dagger from his boots, and held it in front of him.
The movement here made the other soldiers who were stationed at the checkpoint notice, and drew their knives at the same time with a bang, the light of the knives was terrifying, and they surrounded them.
While comforting the horse sitting on the seat, Xia Xiaoman's eyebrows were bristling. She returned to Qingdu after four years, and she did not expect to be surrounded and beaten. Half of her posture is deliberately putting on the airs of the princess, and the other half is really angry: "Hmph, when I was a child, this princess rode on the neck of the great general Shenwu to play, so don't mess around, and report it quickly, just say, Eldest Princess! Return to Qingdu, order people to come and greet you!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
At this moment, a burly man with a beard let out a long laugh: "Where did Fangye casual cultivator dare to make trouble in Qingdu! You pretend to be bad, how dare you pretend to be the eldest princess! Four years ago, the eldest princess When Weifu visited the people in private, he was attacked by robbers and died in a different place! No one in the world knows about this matter? In the emperor's tomb of the Xia family, there is still the spirit seat of the eldest princess! Since the three dared to come to celebrate and pretend to be the eldest Princess, why don't you simply pretend to be the current emperor and come to see me?"
Although the few of them were full of fighting spirit, no one dared to be careless when facing the monks.
After the laughter of the big man came out, there were striking soldiers of the Shenwu Army behind him, and they immediately blew their horns, ready to shake people.
There was a rush of horseshoes in the distance,
Seeing that they would be surrounded by more and more people, Xia Xiaoman once again looked at Yi Lin for help.
In fact, she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, why did she die?
Is it known all over the world?
Obviously there was a big misunderstanding in it.
Xia Xiaoman didn't act immediately, she felt that with her senior brother's resourcefulness, she should have a better way to deal with this embarrassing situation.
Unexpectedly,
Senior brother Yi Lin Chaojian nunuzui: "Senior brother, take a sword."
"...Who is the sword aimed at?"
"Senior brother, you know me. Junior brother doesn't like to kill. I'm talking about the city gate." Yi Lin pointed to the city gate hundreds of meters away: "Come on, open the gate."
Xia Xiaoman was stunned.
Jian Nanchun sighed helplessly, and slowly raised the Qianji Sword,
While raising it, Brother Jian murmured to himself in a low voice: "I didn't want to do it, but you... forced me!"
...
...
this day.
Everyone in Qingdu, no matter what they were doing, felt a strong earthquake under their buttocks.
After Jiannanchun got mad and split the gate of the city into a ditch with a sword, not long after, a luxurious carriage rushed out of the city in a hurry.
From the luxurious carriage, a fat old man with a red face and silvery eyebrows stepped down.
After four years, Xia Xiaoman has grown up, but for the elderly, four years is not a big change. Xia Xiaoman recognized at a glance that the person who came was the housekeeper of Prime Minister You's residence.
After scrutinizing it carefully for a while, the fat butler shouted "God Bless Dagan, God Bless Dagan, God Bless Dagan" with great emotion, and he shed a lot of tears, and hurriedly welcomed Xia Xiaoman and the others into the city.
What the fat butler said seemed to be useful, and the people in the Shenwu Army who blocked the way were dumbfounded.
Especially the one who did it first, was breaking out in cold sweat.
Is this child really the eldest princess who had been chopped into unrecognizable pieces by robbers in the obituary?
He actually took the initiative to stab the elder just now?
...
The Shenwu army opened the way, and the people of Qingdu whispered on both sides of the street.
The three of them rode horses, swaggering through the middle of the empty road, enjoying the feeling of being watched by everyone.
"Your Highness, Prime Minister You has learned that Her Royal Highness survived the catastrophe, and is waiting for the Eldest Princess in front of the palace right now."
The fat old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took the initiative to lead the eldest princess's horse, and chattered non-stop along the way.
Chattering and chattering was nothing more than polite talk about how after the "death" of the Eldest Princess, the whole court was heartbroken and tears poured down like rain.
"Okay, Faber."
Even though he knew that the other party was talking about scenes, Xia Xiaoman still nodded helplessly, without pointing his finger, straightened his back, stretched his eyes forward, and stared at the resplendent Xia family palace at the end of the straight road.
"Qingdu, I'm back."
Xia Xiaoman muttered in his heart.
Behind her, Senior Brother Lin was wearing a white horse in a green shirt, shaking the reins with his hands, feeling very comfortable, and asked: "By the way, if I remember correctly, the Peace Temple should be in the xc area, right?"
Xia Xiaoman turned back and smiled and said, "Yes, it was four years ago that I said goodbye to Brother Xiaohu, so I don't know how Brother Xiaohu has become now?"
"I guess it will become like you did back then." Yi Lin nodded.
"ah?"
Yi Lin touched her head, smiled and said nothing.
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a short while and then understood, and was so angry that he almost fell off his horse in an instant.
Brother, which pot are you not opening and which pot to lift?
Has the bald head offended you?
Speaking of which, senior brother, you stepped on this princess' hair back then!
When Xia Xiaoman was sulking,
Yi Lin looked at everything around her.
Qingdu deserves to be an ancient capital with hundreds of years of history.
Old and new houses alternate in a patchwork pattern, interspersed with bluestone ancient roads.
The vicissitudes and ancient rhyme of the city from time to time make Yi Lin feel like walking in the historical gap.
Xia Xiaoman's comeback in such a high-profile way shocked the whole city.
Of course, not everyone knows that the mysterious person who can use the Shenwu army to clear the way and return is the long princess who has died in the past. The common people only wonder which family's big shot can get this kind of treatment.
But those who should know must know.
Inadvertently, Yi Lin passed by a seven-story tower building with "Wanxiang Building" written on the plaque in front of the door.
But the scene where Wanxianglou was crowded with diners on weekdays was not the same as before. There was a yellow seal pasted on the front door, and it was deserted.
Judging by the condition of the seal, it seems to have been there for a while.
Yi Lin frowned, vaguely guessing the reason, but didn't ask further.
...
Both sides of the main road were crowded with people.
It seemed that the whole city had come to watch and eat melons.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the palace.
The imperial palace is worthy of being an imperial palace, and it is much more magnificent than the Zhennan Wangfu in Jingnan City. At a glance, the roofs with red walls and yellow tiles are row upon row, layer by layer. Looking from Yi Lin's point of view, the roof group has been extending into the depths, with no end in sight. Birds of various colors nestle in rows at the corner of the eaves, in groups of twos and threes, with their wings touching each other to keep warm.
Just as the fat steward said, Prime Minister You, who was in charge of internal affairs, was already waiting in front of the palace gate.
Prime Minister You is wearing a neat official uniform, a delicate melon skin hat, and a mustache, giving people a shrewd and capable feeling. Prime Minister You watched Xia Xiaoman's appearance from a distance, until the fat butler led his horse ten meters away, and then he greeted him in surprise and joy.
"Sure enough, it's Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"
Prime Minister You finally recognized Xia Xiaoman. After four years, Xia Xiaoman has changed a lot compared to her four years ago, both in appearance and temperament. It's not easy to recognize.
in the palace.
Even the lowest court ladies wear thick jackets, light make-up and thin faces. Compared with the outside, they are more calm and calm. The atmosphere inside the palace seems to be two worlds from the outside world, even if the war is raging outside, it seems that it cannot be burned here.
What surprised Xia Xiaoman the most was that under the order of Emperor Ji Sheng, the "Yingxue Pavilion" where she lived was still well preserved. Every month, there was even a special person responsible for cleaning it. When the three of Yi Lin stepped into Yingxue Pavilion, there was no dust everywhere due to no one living there for a long time. On the contrary, many corners of the sanitation corner were spotless, and there was an elegant fragrance of flowers in the courtyard. Very good.
"Your brother is very kind to you. You will keep the house for you even if you die."
Yi Lin sighed.
"Nonsense, that's my princess's brother, my brother!" Xia Xiaoman's tone became inadvertently arrogant as soon as he regained his status as the eldest princess. He used to follow Yi Lin's buttocks and shouted "senior brother", but now he dares to call himself "This princess" is gone.
Yi Lin noticed the name of the side hall, and it inadvertently brought back Yi Lin's memories. He couldn't help asking: "Yingxue Pavilion? Who chose this name?"
"It's my mother," Xia Xiaoman said when he mentioned his late mother, his eyes dimmed, but his expression didn't change much, and he said, "My mother's favorite was snow. Whenever it snowed, she liked to sit In the yard, under the pavilion, brew a pot of scented tea, and quietly enjoy the snow scene in the palace. She always said that the world is always as desolate as snow, but no one appreciates it. The calmness and purity of snow is also its preciousness.”
What a lonely, gentle woman who moaned without illness...
Yi Lin had something to say in her heart, but it was inconvenient to vomit, so she could only slander one or two, pretending she didn't hear it.
"Xue... Your mother will not mention it for the time being. Are you sure... among your brothers, sisters, or relatives, in short, there is really no one named 'Xia Ruxue' among those with the surname Xia?"
Yi Lin thought about it again.
He always felt that some things were not coincidences.
"Senior brother, who is the Xia Ruxue you are talking about!"
Four years ago, Xia Xiaoman heard about this name from Yi Lin, and it was not a big deal at the time, but four years later, Xia Xiaoman couldn't explain why when Yi Lin brought up the old story again, and he always felt a little pimple in his heart. , making her chest uncomfortable.
"What about the genealogy? The ones on your family's tombstone also count, are they there or not?"
Yi Lin asked persistently, he never believed it, it was such a coincidence. Or are you living in a different era?
"No! If I say no, there is no! Who is she?"
The junior sister's tone sounded as if she was losing her temper, but it made no sense.
"Uh..." Seeing Xia Xiaoman staring at herself sullenly, Yi Lin thought for a while, and could only explain in this way: "A magician once told me that I was destined to possibly, perhaps, seem to be with a The woman named 'Xia Ruxue' has a vigorous marriage and will give birth to a daughter. Although, I don't know where this daughter came from."
Yi Lin explained half-truthfully.
