Light Red Northern Song

An Ning was a late sleeper, but she was woken up early this morning by the unusually loud noises outside, and when she opened her eyes, she understood that this was cleaning?Tomorrow Mangzhong, the reason for making such a big commotion is to welcome the King Yong?

"Your Highness, there is a message from His Majesty and the Empress this morning that the palace will be dusted today. Tomorrow, the masters and officials in the palace will all wear court uniforms. At the beginning of Shen Shi, they will arrive at the Gengyou Gate to welcome King Yong back to the capital." Linglong took the place of the master. He said while tying his hair.

court dress?This time is neither a ceremony nor a tradition, nor is there any foreign ambassador to come, does it take so much effort?An Ning suddenly realized, where in this world do "foreign ambassadors" come from?Huh?Isn't she just... When she came to Qi country, the team that greeted her was so shabby, the more I think about it, the more amusing I am.

"Sister Sanhuang said that she would pick me up to live in the East Lake garden, and I haven't heard from you for two days." An Ning didn't say anything about Linglong's statement about King Yong's return to the capital. What about important officials... She didn't take the matter of King Yong to heart.

"His Royal Highness the Third Princess is probably a bit busy these two days. I heard that His Majesty intends to betroth her to Prince Yong's nephew. I wonder if that nephew will come with him this time." Linglong kept her hair tied, Then replied.

"Isn't Gan Moxuan a childhood sweetheart with the third sister? Why did a nephew of King Yong appear?"

"Well," Linglong thought for a while, and said after a while: "But the attitude of the loyal and brave prince, this servant can't explain it clearly."

"Prince Yong's nephew is Princess Yong's nephew?" An Ning asked again.

"Yes, Your Highness, Concubine Yong is also from a family of the Qi State. Later, King Yong was entrusted to leave the capital, and the concubine's family followed him to Yongdi."

"This is strange, the second imperial sister will grow older next year, why don't you see a matchmaker?" An Ning said with a smile.

It's really difficult for Linglong to answer right now, isn't this His Highness asking the question knowingly.The marriages of princes and princesses have always been mixed in politics, but the empress dislikes this way the most.In the past, there were matchmakers for the second princess, but the empress refused because the second princess was still young.In the past two years, the situation in the palace of Qi has been complicated, and the strength of the empress has become much stronger, and no one has taken this matter lightly.

Seeing that the other party was silent, An Ning didn't stick to this topic anymore.

In the post station outside Tongcheng, flags and flags are flying.King Yong had many soldiers and attendants, but they were all well-trained. They set up tents outside the post house and each went about his own business.

Yongyao Wang Qi Yongyao is tall and tall, with square lips, and the inconspicuous scar on his left cheek did not damage his well-defined handsome face.He and Concubine Liu of Yong Wang were sitting in the hall, and General Liu Liu, who was Liu's nephew, was standing at the bottom of the hall.

"My lord, according to your instructions, the soldiers and guards have been divided into two teams, each with two teams. Tomorrow, the second Xuanchi team will be brought into Tongcheng, and the remaining Xiangcang teams will stay in the posthouse." Liu Liu reported.

"My lord, even though Zhang Peng led his soldiers to station under Gushan fifteen miles away, I still feel unsafe. I don't know what tricks they will play. When the lord enters the Tongcheng, can he really retreat unscathed? "Princess Yong asked worriedly.

"Huh! The third child is already in danger, so what else can I do? It's a pity that the king has been away from the capital for a long time, and the deployment in the capital is insufficient. Now I can only go to investigate first, and then plan the future." Qi Yongyao frowned and said back .

"That Chu Shanyi looked weak back then, but he didn't want to be so ambitious. If what the emperor said in the secret letter is true, what will the prince do?" Princess Yong asked.

"Ambition? Even if Chu Shanyi's intentions are not right, is it possible that the third child is a benevolent gentleman? He has face!" Qi Yongyao was suddenly furious and spoke a lot louder.

"My lord! Be careful not to be overheard." Princess Yong hurriedly stopped King Yong.She stood up and looked outside the door and window a few times before returning to her seat with a sigh of relief.

"Boom!" Seeing that the princess was so cautious, Qi Yongyao couldn't say more, so he clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table.

The next day, at the first moment of Shenshi, Gengyou Gate.

"The sun is so bright and hot." An Ning was a little sleepy from the afternoon sun, and she couldn't help muttering.Obviously yesterday's pass was the first moment of Shenshi, but they came to Gengyou gate an hour earlier to "wait" for King Yong.He woke up very early and didn't sleep well, but Qi Youhui didn't allow everyone to sit in the carriage and had to stand.An Ning is not afraid of being tired, but she is afraid of being sunburned and sleepy... Now the time has come, but there is no sign of King Yong's team.She thought to herself that King Yong's grandeur was going to outshine the sun.

Qi Mingxuan, who was a little farther in front of the right, turned his head and glanced after hearing the words, and saw that the man was in a state of pouting and sleepy eyes, very lazy and casual.She smiled and turned her head back, and whispered to Qi Mingyi beside her, "Whose family's little drunk dog? Miss Huang doesn't care."

Qi Mingyi didn't have internal strength, so she didn't hear An Ning's muttering just now, but when she heard Qi Mingxuan's words, she looked at him suspiciously.At this moment, the other party raised his eyebrows, smiled deeply, and stopped talking.

An Ning turned her head and glanced at Qi Youhui and Chu Shanyi, who were sitting on top of Yiyu, and looked around for another week.There is obviously a row of people wearing crimson court clothes standing in front of him, but my eyes seem to be fixed, I can't move just looking at that person's back, what's going on... I really hope that King Yong will show up soon to end this suffering upset.

"Report to the Emperor, Empress, the Yongwang's ceremonial team has arrived." Someone reported from outside the Gengyou Gate.

"Quick, welcome." Qi Youhui waved and ordered.

King Yong's team consisted of only two hundred people, and the person in the front was majestic and majestic, wearing a vermilion court dress and riding a brown BMW.There are several cavalry behind him, they should be guards.Then there are three carriages, and the rest are foot guards and attendants.

"Minister, Qi Yongyao sees Your Majesty, Empress Dowager." Qi Yongyao got off the horse and got off the carriage with everyone, and kneeled down to salute with Princess Yong.

"Excuse me, Brother Huang, excuse me." Qi Youhui seemed very happy, and said in front of the other party with the help of the palace servants.

"My lord and my concubine have worked hard all this way." Chu Shanyi stepped down slowly and came up to him, smiling dignifiedly.

"Thank you for your concern, my concubine, it's not hard work." Princess Yong replied gently.

"Go back to the palace." Chu Shanyi gave the first order.

In this way, after a brief exchange of greetings, the "Masters of the palace, important officials of the capital" who existed as a background also followed a few people to the imperial city.

An Ning's carriage was behind the carriage of the Prince and Princess of Qi, and it was regarded as the last position of the master in the palace.She raised the curtain to look out, only to find that Qi Mingxuan was actually riding a horse.Thinking about it, this person should also come on horseback. I came late so I didn't see it before.At this time, the man was riding on the steed with his head slightly raised in front of him, dressed in red gauze and black silk around his waist, he was very handsome and reckless.She was looking in that direction in a daze, but the other party suddenly looked back, meeting her eyes unexpectedly...

Qi Mingxuan curled his lips into a smile, An Ning lowered his eyebrows, and put down the curtain silently.She closed her eyes slightly, feeling dizzy.This look back, these eyebrows and eyes, actually gave her the illusion of deja vu...

"Brother Huang, is everything okay in Yongdi?" Qi Youhui asked with a smile as he was still sitting on the bench.

"Thanks to Your Majesty, Yong land is rich, the folk customs are simple, and everything is fine." Qi Yongyao rode a horse and followed Yi Yu's right back, bowing his head and replying.

"Very good, I haven't seen you and my brother for a long time. After Zhang Tianshi's Christmas, you can stay in the capital for a while."

"But it's up to His Majesty to decide."

Qi Huang glanced at Yiyu beside him, and saw Chu Shanyi lying on the collapsed chair with his eyes closed as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two.He sneered and looked away, and stopped talking.

Qi Yongyao was in a position where he could clearly see Chu Shanyi's posture. Before his eyes, events from many years ago emerged. Chu Shanyi, who was still a princess at that time, was much gentler and brighter than she is now.He thought about it and sighed quietly.

An Ning leaned back in the carriage, still feeling dizzy and unwell.She felt as if something was wrong, and after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out why.Her mind was in a mess, and it always seemed that there was a thread nearby, but she couldn't find even half of the thread after searching.

All the way back to the palace, there was a big banquet in the palace, very lively.

His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress sit at the top of the center, King Yong and Princess Yong sit at the bottom left, the princes and princesses are in turn, and on the right are a group of high-ranking officials from Beijing and China.Qi Mingxuan was sitting on the left hand position of An Ning, she turned her head slightly to the right, and caught a glimpse of An Ning holding his forehead, which seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Huang has guarded the land of Yong for a long time, and he managed it properly. The credit goes to Sheji. It is also a great joy to welcome Brother Huang back to Beijing today. Brother Huang will definitely stay in Beijing for a longer period of time." Qi Youhui emphasized again with a smile.

"Being favored by His Majesty, I am ashamed to be a minister." Qi Yongyao replied with his head down.

"They're all from my own family, don't be polite. Haha! Cough! Cough!" Qi Youhui coughed uncontrollably.

"Have you taken the emperor's medicine on time?" Chu Shanyi asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, come on, let's not talk about this anymore, Brother Huang, drink more wine." After Qi Youhui finished speaking, he looked around the crowd and asked again: "Princess Yong, is Zhengli not walking with you?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Li'er was not feeling well yesterday and stayed at the post house. She will go to Beijing when she sees her in a few days." Concubine Yong replied.

"Oh? I called the imperial doctor to the post house to have a look."

"Your Majesty, he just blew the wind, and there is no serious problem. He has invited a doctor and taken the decoction. There are also people in the post house to serve, so I dare not worry about your majesty." Qi Yongyao said again.

"Then how to make it happen? This is my own family, and I want to get closer in the future, come here, call the imperial doctor to the posthouse to give Liu Zhengli a diagnosis and treatment."

Several people in the seat looked towards Qi Mingxuan's direction, and An Ning also seemed to feel something.She raised her head and looked to the left, and saw Qi Mingxuan holding the cup in his left hand, drinking a glass of wine by himself with his head slightly lowered.She retracted her gaze and rubbed her forehead back and forth with her fingers.

"Haha, Royal Sister, Zheng Li is in poor health, you should also represent me to visit the post house." Qi Zhitong then said with a smile.

"It should be so, Xuan'er will have time to go and see Zhengli tomorrow." Qi Youhui said.

An Ning has internal strength, and she is more sensitive to subtle changes in her surroundings than others.At this moment, she clearly noticed that the breath on the left hand was slightly cold, she frowned unconsciously, and suddenly became irritable.After a while, she raised her eyes to look at the chief seat again, only to see Qi Youhui glancing in her direction.The two looked at each other, although he was smiling, but those eyes were very sinister.She moved her eyes indifferently, but saw that Chu Shanyi was also looking at her.She stared at Chu Shanyi, but the other party smiled slightly, which contained comfort.

"Father, since you are visiting on behalf of the siblings, naturally the third sister should not go alone, the child is willing to go with you." Qi Mingyi said in a voice.

"Yi'er, I asked you to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to organize Zhang Tianshi's Christmas ceremony, how did you get it?"

"Uncle Huang, An Ning would like to go with Sister San Huang, and there is a companion on the left and right roads." An Ning's head became hot, and he said without thinking.

There was a silence between the two at the main seat.

Qi Youhui's teeth itched with anger, but Chu Shanyi didn't expect the child to have such an idea, and she didn't want him to go out of the palace and take risks from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, the little sister and the third sister are very safe together. Father, please let me go." Qi Mingshuo immediately interrupted after receiving the hint from Gan Chuankai's eyes.

Qi Youhui turned his head and took a deep look at Qi Mingshuo and Gan Chuankai, and after a long time, he said in a low voice, "Yes."
