chance world

……

In the imperial city, Zhao Yiran, who was dressed in fine attire, bid farewell to his father, the moment he stepped off the high platform and entered the chariot, his eyes couldn't help but get wet.One is because of her reluctance to leave her father, elder brother, and homeland, and the other is that she never thought that the conversation that took place in the Nuan Pavilion of Chitan Palace that day would be the last farewell between her and Qi Yu.She hadn't seen Ding Qiyu for many days, and she didn't want to go into the reason why.Forget it, when I was in Canghuan Academy, I used the piece of brocade handkerchief embroidered with poems as my farewell to Yu Yu. In a word, it is a belated end...

Ding Qiyu met with a group of ceremonial officials and came to the imperial city according to the planned procedure. Brother Ke hadn't shown up in front of the officials yet, so it was inconvenient to come and see him off. Prince Zhao Kangran and Jin Yueming with a blank face.

The emperor's face was still pale, and Ding Qiyu had a lot of resentment towards him because of Yiran's incident.Maybe he was not born in the emperor's family. Even if he knew that there were all kinds of involuntary things in it, Ding Qiyu still couldn't understand the relative importance of the emperor's family blood and imperial power in the emperor's heart from his own point of view.

Prince Zhao Kangran and Ding Qiyu's eyes met for a moment, and Ding Qiyu obviously found a way to show off his tricks.Ding Qiyu was not annoyed, his eyes were still calm and natural. After saluting and reporting to the emperor, he stood quietly and waited for the ritual officer to carry out a series of complicated and grand rituals to worship the gods.

The prince saw it, but felt contemptuous for no reason, and thought that they were just at the end of their efforts and would not be arrogant for a few days, so he suppressed his anger a little.Behind him, Jin Yueming remained calm, but his eyes never left Ding Qiyu. Strong doubts hovered in his mind, which made the eyes of the white-browed old man look a bit cloudier.

The emperor didn't know about Zhao Keran and Ding Qiyu's plan, he only thought that Ding Qiyu was Yiran's confidant who asked him to be with him, and he, who already felt guilty about his daughter, would not put Ding Qiyu as an envoy to Zhao Keran, instead, he didn't want the court to send another There is no objection about a high-ranking envoy.As for the escort team, apart from the officials and guards of honor, the core of the guard force is a group of warriors trained by the Yiran brothers and sisters in recent years, and there is no "internal worry".

Sitting quietly in the spacious and luxurious car, Yiran felt dejected and sad, and didn't care about the officials and envoys outside. He just watched the curtains of the car being swayed and danced by the spring breeze, and the sunlight escaping from the curtains flickered.

After the grand ceremony, the mighty send-off team finally set off.When the emperor married a daughter, he married the only princess in Daqian, needless to say the grandeur.Although Daqian has internal and external troubles, there is no doubt that he is rich and powerful.Guards of honor, officials of ceremony, guards, luxurious chariots, servants of the imperial palace, gold and silver dowry, the huge team left the imperial city and marched out of the city along the main street of the capital.

Martial law was enforced in all the streets of Yuanjing. Sergeants in golden armor and knives guarded the streets and alleys. Although the common people could not go out, they thought of various ways to watch this rare event.The people who sat by the windows, those who built the building, and those who climbed over the courtyard wall made Yuanjing, who had no pedestrians and ordinary people, feel lively and extraordinary out of thin air.

Behind the bustle, Zhao Yiran ordered Yurui to fetch the books, sat quietly in front of the desks, and continued to study Dongtang's historical materials and classics.The moment the wheels of the chariot turned, the embroidered handkerchief wiped away the crystals from the corners of her eyes, which meant that she had said goodbye to all her past... Maybe only such a busy study could relieve her from the pervasive depression angry.

"Princess, the chariot is bound to be bumpy. Reading is too painful for the eyes. If you want to read it, why don't you wait until the team rests?" Yu Rui put the brewed tea on the table and couldn't help persuading .As Zhao Yiran's personal court lady, only Yurui knows the fragility hidden beneath the brave and fearless surface of the princess.

Zhao Yiran shook his head: "It doesn't matter." His eyes fell on a sentence in the book, Zhao Yiran pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is the envoy who sent you off?" She knew all of He's courtiers, and after thinking about it, she felt that the authority and authority of Mr. He were not suitable for the role of sending relatives.Who is the send-off envoy arranged by my elder brother, Mr. He?

Yurui replied truthfully: "Yurui doesn't know, I'll go and ask for you." After speaking, she got off the car to inquire.

"No need... the team is out of the outskirts of Beijing, he should come over." Yi Ran's mood was a little dull, and she didn't want to see outsiders for the time being.

"Yes." Yu Rui got the order, and obediently knelt down by the curtain of the car, quietly accompanying the princess.I kept wondering what the unknown Dongtang would look like.Zhao Yiran didn't want Yurui to go with him, but as a loyal servant, Yurui only recognized the princess as his master for the rest of his life. If the princess went to Dongtang, what would she do if she didn't go with her?What's more, the princess has always treated her very well, and Yu Rui couldn't let go of this kindness.After expressing his determination, Zhao Yiran persuaded her several times to no avail, and finally agreed to her company, and specially talked about Dongtang's style and folk customs to comfort her.Yurui couldn't help feeling worried and sad for her master while being grateful.I am just a little slave who is attached to the master, as long as I follow the master, it will be the same everywhere.But the princess is different. She is obviously a golden branch and jade leaf and a nine-day flying phoenix.The marriage partner is still a withdrawn and sickly prince, wandering in a foreign country, dependent on others, I am afraid that the princess will suffer more than anyone else.

……

Just as Zhao Yiran expected, when the team left Yuanjing, Ding Qiyu got out of his car and came to the princess's chariot, the guards immediately informed him.

Yu Rui, who was accompanying in the car, stopped her messy thoughts, prepared everything for the princess, and then came out to seduce Mr. He, the envoy.As soon as she saw the people outside the car, Yu Rui's jaw almost fell to the ground: "Ding, Ding! Ding——"

Ding Qiyu immediately interrupted her: "He Yu, the envoy to see off relatives, please meet Her Royal Highness and discuss some matters on the way with the princess, please let me know."

As soon as Yurui heard the voice, she knew that she was right. She suppressed her shock and said in a daze, "Yes, yes, please..." Yurui took a step ahead of Ding Qiyu, stumbled into the carriage, and reported, "Princess ! The envoy He, Mr. He is here..."

Zhao Yiran didn't know why Yu Rui was so flustered all of a sudden, and reminded him: "Yu Rui, don't be rude in front of the envoy."

This chariot is specially used for activities and discussions on the way of the princess and relatives, and it is very spacious.Ding Qiyu entered the chariot, and Yiran was sitting on the main seat to remind the impolite Yu Rui. He was wearing formal and complicated palace attire, and in order to avoid suspicion, he specially put on a light-colored veil.

Zhao Yiran, who wanted to discuss the marriage affairs with Mr. He in detail, reminded Yurui, and when he saw who was coming, the etiquette words suddenly choked in his throat... Although he was wearing an envoy's official robe and a flying feather black gauze, his face She is wearing a mask, but this figure, this face, and this feeling are all too familiar to her...

Only then did Ding Qiyu see her appearance clearly through the lights and sunlight.Yiran's eyes were red, and it could be seen from her complexion that she had been overworked recently and hadn't had a good night's sleep.It's completely different from Qing'er's feeling of wearing a veil. Qing'er is indifferent and cold, and the veil adds to her sense of being extraordinary; while Yi Ran's veil makes this weak and reserved person even more pitiful. Looking at those bright eyes full of affection and tears, Ding Qiyu unconsciously imagined how the pink and trembling lips covered under the tulle would make people feel distressed and heartbroken.

The tears in Yiran's eyes were like a soft jade finger, gently touching the warmest part of Ding Qiyu's heart.Yi Ran was speechless, Ding Qiyu was also speechless, the car fell into a moment of stagnation.Ding Qiyu adjusted his mood, formally saluted the princess according to the etiquette of envoys he had engraved in his heart long ago: "He Yu, the envoy to send relatives, see the princess..."

"You..." Zhao Yiran opened his lips, and only said one word after a while.Even if you only utter a word, you can feel the waves in it.

Yu Rui had already consciously retreated to the side of the car curtain and sat down on her knees, not daring to disturb the two of them.Before, he was still secretly complaining about Mr. Ding's ruthlessness, but when he heard that the princess was going to make a marriage, he immediately disappeared in front of the princess. He hadn't seen anyone for so many days before parting.turn out to be…

Yiran foolishly said nothing and didn't move after uttering a single word, but she was not at all like the princess who bravely asked for a marriage proposal that day.Ding Qiyu's heart was soft, he stepped forward and knelt down on the soft cushion opposite Yiran, breaking the silence: "Yiran, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you don't recognize me?" Sitting opposite, Ding Qiyu also felt a little far away from Yiran.

"You... you, why?" Zhao Yiran asked tremblingly.As the car curtain was lowered and the wheels rolled, Zhao Yiran had tried to bury all the pain and sadness, the farewell words were still in his ears, but he didn't want this person to appear in front of his eyes again.Let Yiran couldn't help but ask herself over and over again, what I see and hear now, isn't it a dream?

Ding Qiyu raised his sleeve, tugged at the edge of the sleeve and said: "Yiran saw it, I am the envoy He Yu who sent you off." Then he added in a soft voice, "Dongtang is a long way away, I will take you there."

Zhao Yiran raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes: "Really, really?" The soft and trembling tone was extremely well-behaved, with faint grievances and expectations.He is not only asking whether everything in front of him is real, but also asking about Ding Qiyu's hidden secrets.Zhao Yiran faintly felt that Qi Yu's appearance here was not just to send him a marriage.The mood is contradictory and complicated. I hope that Qi Yu has other purposes hidden, but also hope that Qi Yu will not take risks and stop himself.Responsibility and responsibility made her willing to bravely choose to say goodbye, but her selfishness and feelings made it difficult for her to let go of it calmly.

An extremely cute question made Ding Qiyu feel pity and distress even more, he moved forward, put his hands on the low table and smiled and said: "Haha, I have already sat in front of you, do you still have doubts?" Ding Qiyu Seeing the obvious doubts in her eyes, "Brother Ke, and I... are both worried. We have to choose and choose, and I don't know who to recommend as this marriage envoy. So I decided, I'll just forget it. Must see We will not rest assured until you arrive at Dongtang safely and confirm that Dongtang is not a sea of ​​fire and that Prince Dongtang is not a villain or a traitor. Originally, the Holy Majesty wanted to send a high-ranking adult there, but I pushed him away. Yiran won't mind, right? Hehe, although I don't have any official position, I can talk with you and see the scenery on the road, which should be much more interesting than those old men."

"Then... if... Dongtang is the sea of ​​fire and purgatory, then the prince is a treacherous villain?"
