Datang beauty walk

Hanyue and the others are here talking to each other, drinking and chatting, and suddenly they hear the voices on the street, and people shout loudly:

"The convoy to send relatives over!"

"The princess is here!"

Then I heard the sound of drums and gongs, and the sound became louder and louder from far to near, and it was very noisy. Sai Luji asked:

"Want to go out and watch?"

"Of course, now that we have met, we have to go and see this princess who traded one person's happiness for the peace of the whole family. Princess An Ning and Peace, if you don't pay your respects and see her off, you really can't justify it!"

After Yizhen finished speaking, she pulled Hanyue up and walked out.When I came to the street and looked east and west, I saw that the street was full of people waiting to watch. Where was the figure of the princess in chariots and horses?

It turned out that the convoy for seeing off and welcoming the bride was still far away from here, but there were thunderous gongs and drums from a few miles away, one higher than the other, and then closer and closer, letting people know that the princess was approaching here.

People seem to be unable to hold back the eager hope in their hearts, they just want to stand in a favorable position where they can see clearly, and take a closer look first.So everyone crowded forward one after another, regardless of whether they were in the front or the back, all raised their heads and stood on tiptoes to look around.

After a while, neatly dressed soldiers with spears and broadswords broke through the crowd and came to clear the road.Then they took three steps at a post and five steps at a whistle, as if they had opened a long and wide river among the crowd, standing tall and straight on both sides of the river bank, with the onlookers behind them.

Yizhen dragged Hanyue to squeeze left and right, and finally squeezed to the front of the crowd. Fortunately, everyone was wearing thick winter clothes to keep warm. The two women could push away those men and stand at the front of the crowd without any scruples. Up ahead, wait a while and you'll be able to see where the queue is.

The two of them, like everyone else, were waiting when they suddenly heard someone shout:

"The woman in front, your hood blocks us from seeing the front!"

Hanyue heard that she turned her head and looked behind her, but when she saw the people behind her, they were pitifully anxious and a little angry just because they couldn't see her in front of her.

She turned around and was about to get out of the crowd and make way for those people, when Yizhen hurriedly stopped her:

"Han Yue wait a minute!"

Yizhen took out something from the bag she was carrying, handed it to Hanyue and said:

"You take off the veil and put it on."

Hanyue saw that it was a black veil, and asked Yizhen:

"Where did this come from?"

"Did you forget? When we were shopping today, the shopkeeper gave it to us."

Hanyue put the veil under her veil, and then took off the veil.In this way the face was covered with a veil, the eyes were exposed, and the sight was clearer and more comfortable.

Yizhen looked at Hanyue who took off her veil and veil, and smiled at her.

The few men behind them shouting that they couldn't see saw them, and all turned their eyes to Han Yue's head, looking at her back, and couldn't leave their eyes.

People are waiting patiently, talking with acquaintances, time passes in this waiting and noise.

Suddenly, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and they all turned their heads and looked eastward, only to see two lines of 20 sergeants walking over, holding dragon and phoenix embroidered flags fluttering in the wind.Then there is the Habayashi Army, who is majestic in martial arts, dressed in brocade robes and jade belts, with treasured swords hanging from his waists.The young soldiers all held their heads high and held their chests high, looking majestic.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums rang in the ears, and no other noise could be heard.I can only see from a distance that behind more than 50 Habayashi soldiers walking side by side, a long line of troops is coming here, just like a long dragon that sees its head but does not see its end.

After the Habayashi army passed by, what they saw was the Tubo welcoming mission.Most of the more than 150 Tubo envoys were tall and big-eyed, and they were fat and burly.They wore leather jackets with narrow sleeves and tunics, and beard hats with fur.

Their leather jackets and thick woolen clothes are different from the clothes of the people here, as if they are warmer and better able to resist the wind and cold; they rode tall horses, passing triumphantly; to be deep.

The drummers of Chuichuidada followed behind the welcoming missions. Behind these drummers in red and flowers were some civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty.

The civil and military officials were neatly dressed, and they walked in two rows in front of the crowd - I heard that other civil and military officials would go directly to the west gate to see the princess off.

A luxurious and majestic two-horse carriage drove towards this side, surrounded by all the court ladies, and people whispered:

"It's the carriage that the princess rides in!"

Everyone on both sides of the avenue opened their eyes wide and looked at the large carriage coming, eager to see Princess Wencheng's beauty.But the yellow car curtain is hanging down, so you can't see inside.

When everyone was disappointed that they could not see the princess, a corner of the curtain on the car window was gently lifted, and the delicate and beautiful face of a young girl appeared in the red car window.However, the curtain was quickly lowered again.

Just for a moment, some people saw it, but many people were not so lucky.

Someone whispered:

"Hey, I saw the princess looks sad!"

"I seem to see the princess crying!" Another voice whispered.

"No, I see the princess is very calm!" said the third person.

There was another person with a thin-sounding voice who whispered:

"I didn't see the princess's jade face, but only the beads and jade on the red phoenix dress she was wearing."

"You are talking nonsense, the clothes the princess wears are not red, but yellow!" said the person who said the princess was crying.

"Hey, you've all misunderstood. The princess is not wearing a red or yellow dress, but a white dress." The person who said the princess was very calm said.

"no!"

"No, not white!"

The others immediately denied him.

The few people were only arguing here, and saw many cars following the princess's luxury carriage, each carrying suitcases and wooden boxes, and mules and horses passing by carrying sacks.

I only heard people whispering again:

"Hey, you said so many boxes, what's in them?"

"Hey, don't you know? I heard that when the emperor asked the princess what dowry she wanted, the princess asked the emperor for a large number of books, including the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as medical skills, art books, astrology books, etc. Books. In addition to books, the princess also asked for grain seeds and farming tools. In addition, there were hundreds of craftsmen from all walks of life, as well as doctors, embroiderers, etc. These emperors agreed, and you see, these people behind are all princesses. Choose the craftsmen and embroidery girls you want."

A person behind stretched his neck and asked:

"You said that other people's dowry is gold, silver, jewellery, clothes and jewelry. How can this princess ask the emperor for these?"

The second speaker continued to answer the interrogator:

"Hey, you don't understand this, right? Can this princess compare with ordinary women? She went to marry this time for the sake of the people of Tang and Tubo. She brought these grain seeds and craftsmen to teach It will also sow seeds for the people over there, and pass on the skills of the Tang Dynasty there, so that Tubo and the Tang Dynasty can become one family, this is the princess's good intentions!"

People whispered and whispered.Hanyue was watching the dowry maids and eunuchs walk past her, when Yizhen suddenly pulled her right hand, she turned her head and asked in a low voice:

"What's the matter, do you feel cold?"

Yizhen shook her head and put it close to her ear:

"Look at those two people across the street."

Hanyue looked at the person she was talking about, and didn't understand what was special about it, so she turned her head and asked Yizhen again, and Yizhen leaned into her ear again and said:

"Over there, those two women are the same as us, look carefully."

Her eyes are very good, and she can see people in the distance very clearly. After she finished speaking, she stood upright and continued to look at the opposite side.

Hanyue looked at the two women who were at the forefront of the crowd, diagonally opposite them across the street.They all looked to be in their 30s, all dressed in plain clothes and skirts, and lightly dressed, but one looked free and easy, and the other was dignified and quiet.

Although they were dressed plainly, Hanyue saw the sword held in one of the women's hands, the scabbard and hilt were made of luxury and chic, and she was able to hold such a good sword, so it was obvious that she was not an ordinary person.The woman with a calm face stretched out her hand to help the woman holding the sword, smoothing the loose strand of hair around her ear. The woman's movements were natural and focused.

Hanyue was looking at them, at this moment, she suddenly heard a court lady in the princess's entourage shout happily to the two women:

"Tannie!"

The maid yelled and ran towards them.

Danniang also saw the maid running towards them, and called:

"Ah Zhen!"

The man named Ah Zhen wanted to come forward and talk to Tanniang and the others, but was blocked by the soldiers standing guard on the street with their spears in their hands.

Ah Zhen stopped on the opposite side, talking to Tan Niang through the spear in the soldier's hand.

"Tan Niang, thank you for coming to see me off!"

"Ah Zhen, you and your father are over there, you have to take care of yourself, take care of yourself!" Dan Niang said loudly.

"Ah Zhen, have a good journey!" Qi Qing said.

They only said a few words, Ah Zhen was urged by the soldiers around her to let her go quickly, and Ah Zhen waved to Danniang and the others as she walked.Danniang also waved her hand to say goodbye, shouting:

"Ah Zhen, have a good trip!"

Then, Ah Zhen smiled at them, trotted back to his queue.

Hundreds of court ladies, eunuchs, and other people from all walks of life passed by, and there were more than 2000 horsemen.

The sound of the drum music faded away, but Danniang was still looking at the queue of palace ladies who had passed and gone away.

Seeing that they could no longer see Ah Zhen, Qi Qing said:

"Tan Niang, let's go back."

It was past noon, and the princess's convoy left the city gate and arrived at the West Changting Pavilion in Chang'an.

The princess got out of the car, and held a farewell cup with the imperial ministers who had been waiting to see her off at the West Changting Pavilion, as well as her relatives.

The emperor and the relatives of the princess finished the words of affection one by one. Finally, the princess shed tears of parting, sat in the car again, waved goodbye to the relatives who came to see him off from the window, and set foot on the westbound journey. It's been a long road.

The emperor who came to see the princess off, and everyone stopped at the long pavilion to look at it.

The chariot rattled, the horse Xiaoxiao, Princess Wencheng's chariot and horse, curved like a long black line, moving slowly across the sky, and then disappeared in the sight of her relatives.
