Uncertain Chang'an

After an autumn rain and a cold day, scholars came to Beijing one after another for the examination. Princess Yongning was known for her talents, and there were not a few people who gave her family papers, and there were scholars from the Imperial College who asked for advice from time to time. She was also very busy these days .Although she is busy, the seasons don't wait for her, and she walks forward on her own.When she came out of the Imperial College, it was raining lightly again, and Fei'er stepped forward to put a cloak on her, and then she realized that it was already late autumn.She stretched out her hand, and the raindrops fell on her hand, creating splashes of various shapes and taking away the warmth from her hand.There was a chill coming from his hands, Zhou Jinhe sighed in his heart, half of this year has passed like this, and the sun and the moon are really flying.

Withdrawing her hand and getting on the carriage, she suddenly felt that she hadn't seen Xiao Wuding for a long time, and she didn't know what she was busy with these days.But presumably it was training soldiers and martial arts, Zhou Jinhe thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he hadn't heard any rumors that she was on good terms with any adult in the court.With her indifferent person, outsiders are intimidated by her appearance, so how dare she approach her?

Zhou Jinhe sat with his eyes closed and thought about it, but felt that the carriage stopped suddenly. Fei'er opened the curtain to check the situation, and soon came in, opened one of the curtains, and said: "Your Highness, it is General Xiao."

Looking out from the car window, I saw Xiao Wuding wearing court clothes, riding on a horse, smiling lightly and bowing to her: "Your Highness."

"It's time to go down early. Why did the general just come out of the palace at this time? He didn't bring an umbrella." Zhou Jinhe glanced at her rather annoyed. Last time, he said to pay attention to his body. Even if the rain is not heavy, the autumn rain will end It is cold and easy to get sick.The hair she raised with the white jade hairpin like ink was covered with rain, and the shoulders of her court clothes were also dark because of being wet, but it just happened to be like this, but she was not in the least embarrassed, on the contrary she was a bit chic and unrestrained.

Fei'er was very sensible and handed her the umbrella, Xiao Wuding thanked her and took it to open it, but he sighed and said with a helpless smile: "It's already down in the morning, Your Majesty has come to talk to me every now and then, I think it's to investigate Investigate how His Highness sees people. I didn’t pay attention when I went to the court earlier, and I started to go down after I left the palace gate. Your Highness, is this coming back from the Imperial College?"

"Yes, I'm going back home, where is the general going?"

"Go to the senior sister's house."

"That's just right. General, come up. I'll give the general a ride." Zhou Jinhe smiled and waved to her.

The so-called respect is worse than obedience, Xiao Wuding thanked him, and obediently got on the carriage.Zhou Jinhe handed her the handkerchief, and said, "Wipe it quickly, look at the rain all over your body, can my father do anything to you?"

"It's hard to say, Your Majesty just asked me about the situation at home. I think His Majesty won't say too much if His Majesty doesn't open his mouth. He just has some hints. Let me take the initiative." Xiao Wuding took her handkerchief and wiped it. , jokingly said: "I ran into Your Highness if I didn't want to, please give me more chances, Your Highness."

She finally found out that General Zhenbei looked cold and indifferent on the surface, but he was utterly wicked on the inside, with a lot of thoughts.Zhou Jinhe snorted softly, glanced at her reproachfully, and sighed: "Father, too, this Xiongnu Shanyu is about to enter Beijing, and he still wants to talk nonsense to you."

The Xiongnu Shanyu and the crown prince were seriously injured in the last battle in Mobei, and they have not been able to visit Emperor Taiping in person. A few days ago, they said that they are in good health. On the way to Beijing, there are still a few days to arrive. The Ministry of Rites These days are preparing for the reception.

"Your Highness is the jewel in His Majesty's palm. Marriage is naturally more important than Xiongnu Shanyu." Xiao Wuding wiped off the water droplets on his head, put the handkerchief in his arms, and said with a smile: "I will return this handkerchief to Your Highness after it is washed clean." , Your Highness, is everything going smoothly these days?"

Zhou Jinhe didn't care whether the handkerchief was washed or not, since Xiao Wuding had put it in his arms, he let her go, and handed her a cup of hot tea to warm her body, "A lot of children from poor families have been accepted one after another, and some of them This talent is really good, and there are a few in the Guozijian, but there are so many papers these days, it’s a bit of a headache to look at.” She didn’t want to miss the talent, although she only read the first few articles in each paper, the number was astonishing enough that even Mo’er Nagging her every day hurts her eyes.

"Although talents are rare, His Highness has to pay attention to his body. I think His Highness's eyes are bloodshot."

Suddenly falling into a pair of deep eyes, Zhou Jinhe was caught off guard.Xiao Wuding stared at her like that, making her face slightly hot for some reason, and hurriedly avoided her eyes, pretending to be calm and calm, thanked her with a smile, and advised her to pay attention to her body .

Not long after arriving at Wen's mansion, thinking that there are still a lot of things waiting for her in the mansion, she couldn't help but sighed and said: "Go, general, and say hello to Sister Wen for me, and I will go to pick the stars when I am free in a few days." Listen to Sister Wen playing the piano."

"Okay, Your Highness, go slowly." Xiao Wuding got off the carriage, saluted and sent her off, and when the carriage was out of sight, he turned around and strode towards Wen Yuan's study.

"Senior Sister! I remember that Miracle Doctor Gu used to have eye ointment, do you still have it here?"

Such a big commotion cannot be separated from Her Royal Highness in all likelihood.Wen Yuan sighed helplessly and put down the account book in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the person at the door, and said, "Why are your Highness's eyes uncomfortable?"

"I met her on the road just now and sent me here. I saw bloodshot eyes in her eyes. I think it's because she has read too many scrolls these days."

"If you care about it, you will be confused. Is there anything good in His Highness's house?" Wen Yuan gave her a look, got up and took out a jade box from a box beside it, and handed it over, "Here, take it. It happens that people will go to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors in a few days To buy medicine, let me tell you what you want."

Xiao Wuding took it with a smile, and was not too polite with her senior sister, and made a list. After the two talked about something, Xiao Wuding went to the princess mansion again, but rushed to the military camp outside the city, and only delivered the medicine. After telling the boy at the door how to use it, he rushed out of the city.

Zhou Jinhe was in the study, and after hearing what happened at the door from Fei'er, looking at the jade box, he knew without thinking that Xiao Wuding was going to "rob" Wen Yuan, so he couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt warm in his heart, and put down the jade box in his hand. She said softly, "Fei'er, come and apply it on me, and try the medicine she asked for from Sister Wen."

After a few days, the Xiongnu Shanyu arrived in Beijing, and Emperor Taiping hosted a banquet to welcome him. All the officials and the royal family were present, and Xiao Wuding, the great hero who broke the Huns' court, was no exception.This time, not only Uwe Shanyu, but also his son, Zuo Tuqi Wang Junchen came here.King Zuo Tuqi of the Xiongnu is the crown prince, and Uwe has six sons under his knees. Only this military official is the most like him, ruthless and conceited.Although he bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister to the Great Jin now, it is unknown how long this stability will last.

At night, the Linde Palace is brightly lit, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going from the palace. It is the place where Emperor Taiping washed the dust for the Xiongnu Shanyu.Before the dinner party started, all the officials in the main hall had already taken their seats. The crown prince Zhou Jinqian was the first on the right side of the emperor's seat, followed by Zhou Jinhe. The rest of the officials were lined up according to rank. If you have a knighthood, you should sit a little later on the left so that you won't be ranked behind the Queen Mother.Naturally, state banquets must be well-dressed. Zhou Jinhe changed into a Xuanjin palace robe today. The phoenix embroidered in gold was lifelike, and he wore a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with treasures inlaid with silk on his head.Zhou Jinqian on the side was also wearing a royal gown with black and embroidered dragon patterns, revealing his royal demeanor without a doubt.Baiguan immediately stood up and saluted the two of them. The two of them walked side by side to the front of the main hall without looking sideways. When Zhou Jinhe walked in front of Xiao Wuding, he stopped suddenly, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Xiao Wuding held the salute and hid his right hand under the court clothes, which was obviously wrapped in a bandage, why did this person hurt himself after only a few days of seeing him?

Xiao Wuding still saluted respectfully, and said respectfully: "I didn't intend to hurt you, it's not a serious problem, thank you Your Highness for your concern."

I don't know how it was unintentionally hurt.Although Zhou Jinhe was puzzled, this was not the time to talk after all, so he told her to "drink less" and went back to his seat.When the two arrived in front of the main hall, they took their seats after shouting excuses, and the officials took their seats again.Zhou Jinhe's brows and eyes were faint, as if he glanced at the officials in the palace, but he was actually looking at Xiao Wuding. Xiao Wuding naturally felt the gaze of His Royal Highness, and the corners of his mouth that had never been raised with indifference finally curled up a little, indicating that she didn't have to. Worry.

Seeing this, Zhou Jinhe closed his eyes, picked up his teacup and took a sip.Forget it, I'll ask her again after the palace banquet is over.

Emperor Taiping and Empress Yan also arrived at the main hall immediately, and after taking their seats, an eunuch shouted in his characteristic high-pitched voice: "Xuan Xiongnu Shanyu, King Zuo Tuqi has an audience!"

Xiao Wuding and Xu Yuanshou were probably the only ones present who had seen those two, and all the officials turned their eyes to the entrance of the hall, wondering what the Xiongnu Shanyu and King Zuo Tuqi looked like.

Two figures soon appeared at the entrance of the main hall, dressed in Hu suits, not tall but stout, with black faces and snub noses, thick eyebrows and almond eyes, with a sharp gray light, walking towards the main hall one after the other, and stopped in the middle , with his right hand clenched into a fist and placed on his chest, with a deep voice, he bowed and said, "Uwei (military minister) greets His Majesty the Emperor of Jin."

"King Shan Yu and King Zuo Tuqi have come a long way and have worked hard. There is no need to be polite. Please sit down." With a wave of Emperor Taiping's hand, someone from the palace ushered the two of them to their seats, and the palace banquet began immediately. Excellent, the Xiongnu Shanyu and King Zuo Tuqi were confused.Xiongnu Shanyu has passed the age of ears, and his body doesn't look very good. It seems that he was injured last time and hurt his vitality, so he was chatting with Emperor Taiping.Zuo Tuqi Wang Junchen just arrived and stood there, his eyebrows and eyes were a little more aggressive and arrogant than his father, drinking the wine in the cup, looking through the dancers in the hall, staring directly at Zhou Jinhe opposite, with great interest.He noticed it when he entered the palace. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. Her eyes were like the moon in Mobei. She was cold and noble, and filled people with a desire to conquer. Thinking about it, this is the only princess of Jin Dynasty—— Princess Yongning is gone.He once heard people from Jin talk about their princesses, all with yearning eyes, at that time he dismissed it as an exaggeration, but when he saw her today, it was really extraordinary.Only he deserves to enjoy such a beautiful woman in this world!

The military minister couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and drank the wine in his glass, with one corner of his mouth curled up, staring at Zhou Jinhe, who was eating elegantly, as if watching a prey.
