Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

When Li Mingda looked over, there was no surprise on Fang Yizhi's face, as if he had already discovered that Li Mingda was here.

Fang Yi had been lagging behind Li Mingda's gaze, so he nodded slightly, made a shallow salute, and then walked straight over.

"...Hahaha, Yizhi, I didn't expect that Anzhou would be so lively. Look, there are people selling courgettes over there. I love it, so I'm going to buy some!"

Yuchi Baoqi didn't know what was happening behind him, so he happily pointed to the old farmer selling courgettes to the east, and turned his head to see that Fang Yizhi was no longer in the same place.Yuchi Baoqi stretched her neck to search the crowd, and finally saw Princess Jinyang, Changsun Huan, Cheng Chubi and others riding on a tall horse before Fang Yizhi's figure.

Yuchi Baoqi opened her mouth in surprise, was stunned again and again, and then rushed to greet him, suddenly realized that the situation was inappropriate, she covered her mouth with her hands, and hurriedly came straight to Fang Yi to salute.

Yuchi Baoqi: "Mr.—"

"Hush!" Changsun Huan signaled Yuchi Baoqi to keep silent.

Yuchi Baoqi patted his head with a fan, and hurriedly made another shallow gift to Li Mingda, but he hesitated and didn't know how to address it.

"Nineteen Lang." Fang Yi said straight.

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly saluted again and said, "Baoqi has met Nineteen Lang."

Li Mingda smiled and looked at the two of them brightly, "How could it be such a coincidence, what are you two doing here?"

"Playing." Yuchi Baoqi hesitated for a moment, then said immediately.

Fang Yi looked straight at Yuchi Baoqi, didn't say anything, and didn't agree.

"Bao Qi, you're lying too falsely. I'm your good brother, and I can't help you fool me. Do you know what a crime it is to lie to Nineteen Lang?" Changsun Huan asked with a smile.

"This, this..." Yuchi Baoqi panicked, and glanced at Fang Yizhi, not knowing what to say.

Li Mingda then looked at Yuchi Baoqi's backbone.

"To tell the truth, Jiujiu Lang, Bao Qi and I are here to solve a small matter, it's nothing important, so it's not worth your ears."

"Ah."

Since their mission here was to keep it secret, Li Mingda didn't ask any further questions.Immediately she jumped off the horse neatly, and the maid Biyun hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold the rope of the horse.

Changsun Huan and Cheng Chubi also got off their horses and handed the reins to their subordinates.The two smiled and walked in front of Fang Yizhi and Yuchi Baoqi, and greeted their old friends warmly.The four teenagers talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Li Mingda took the opportunity to sniff his nose secretly, and looked at the city gate curiously.

Tian Hanshan rode for a long time, and his legs couldn't bear it.It was only now that he slowed down his legs, and hurriedly approached his own princess.He only needed to take a look to know what his princess was thinking, so he asked her in a low voice if she was in a hurry to enter the city, they could use the token to enter directly, simply and quickly.

"No, just go in like this. The common people are all lining up, how can we not line up." Li Mingda said.

As soon as these words came out, Yuchi Baoqi looked sideways, and immediately sighed: "This is familiar, I seem to have heard someone say it just now." After finishing speaking, Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yi glanced straight at him, slightly blaming him, but didn't speak.

Yuchi Baoqi laughed, and hurriedly apologized to Li Mingda again.

"Don't be so strict, I know you are just chatting, I don't care about it." After Li Mingda said, he took two steps forward and continued to line up.

The old farmer over there sent his six or seven-year-old son over to sell melons.

The child's face is tanned, but he likes to laugh very much. When he smiles, he will show a mouthful of white teeth, which is pleasing to the eye.The child walked along the line with a wicker basket on his thin arm, yelling "Sell courgettes" openly.There were twenty or thirty courgettes in the basket, all of which had been washed and were ready to be eaten immediately.

Li Mingda planned to have this kid come over, so he bought all the courgettes, and it happened that Yuchi Baoqi also liked to eat them.

"drive--"

"The untouchables in front give way, Hugh is looking for death!"

The hooves of the horses approached, and there was a shout.

Li Mingda, Fang Yizhi and others all looked sideways, and saw a dozen guards on horseback galloping into the crowd, and some people who couldn't dodge, shouted in panic, and were lucky to escape.Only the child carrying the courgette basket fell to the ground because of his short legs and anxiety.

Seeing this, Cheng Chubi jumped over and took hold of the leading guard's horse. The galloping horse was suddenly restrained by the reins, and its front body stood up abruptly, neighing.The guard on the horseback fell off the horse because of a sudden loss of balance, and fell very hard with a thud, rolling all over his body.

The person who was thrown happened to be the leader of this team of guards, and the accompanying guards got off their horses one after another when they saw this, and rushed towards Cheng Chubi clutching the saber at their waist, scolding him for his audacity.

"You dare to touch the people in the Princess Mansion, a group of blind farm slaves, please fight!"

After the leader guard was helped up, he gritted his teeth in pain and ignored them. He raised his knife and wanted to beat them, but he was pulled by the guard behind him.

"I see that they are all riding tall horses, and the appearance of these horses is better than ours. The identities of these people must not be simple. Why don't the leader ask the identities of the other party first, and then deal with them."

"This little brother has good eyesight." Yuchi Baoqi said leisurely with a smile, then comforted them to kneel down and make amends, and it's over.

The leader of the guards was so angry that he pushed away the young junior next to him who reminded him, stepped forward aggressively, and mocked Li Mingda and the others.

"It's just a few of you, and you still have great status. He really thinks highly of you! If you really have some dignified status, you won't be so stupid as to line up here and enter the city with the common people. No matter how bad you are, you should be like us , there is such a token!" The leader and guard said, and proudly pulled out a token from his waist, and waved it in front of Cheng Chubi and others, "How about it, have you never seen it before?"

Li Mingda glanced sideways, and recognized that it was indeed the token of Linhai Princess Mansion.

Yuchi Baoqi also sneered, "Be careful if you say this, you will regret it." He glanced at Fang Yizhi, then at Li Mingda.He really wanted to reveal his identity, but Fang Yizhi repeatedly asked him to keep it secret during this trip.

At this time, the children selling courgettes had already been helped up by Tian Hanshan, and those courgettes that were soiled and broken, Tian Hanshan also bought them with money.

Tian Hanshan patted the dirt on the child and asked the old farmer to take him away.The old farmer was very grateful, and the surrounding people also applauded Cheng Chubi and others.But for those aggressive guards of Linhai Princess Mansion, even though Bai Ding didn't dare to curse, they all looked at them with disgust and hatred.

Li Mingda saw the reactions of these people in his eyes, and naturally knew in his heart that the reason why these people expressed the same emotions towards the Princess Mansion so unanimously was probably because the people in the Princess Mansion had a bad reputation among the people before. good.

"Look at all of you, you are all white and tender, and there is no one in the group who is leading you. You must be children from rich families. To show off your wealth, you deliberately bought a few horses, and then called Get a few servants to follow, and make a very powerful formation." After the leader guard finished speaking, he saw two young men in rich and expensive clothes showing surprise faces on the other side, knowing that his deduction was too accurate and he was shocked Then they laughed very proudly, "Do you really think that I, Bai Yuqiang, have never seen the world? As early as a few years ago, I met a rich man who was riding a horse and pretending to be a dignitary, and was finally beaten by me. Same as grandson. I think you guys are all looking for a beating, so hurry up and honestly apologize for your mistakes!"

After the leader and guard finished speaking, he raised the shoulder knife in his hand and called his subordinates to join him.

Seeing this, the guards led by Cheng Chubi immediately pulled out the knives wrapped in cloth from their respective horses, intending to confront those people.

"Don't make trouble, it will be a big deal if you accidentally hurt the people." Li Mingda said lightly, got on his horse, and drove directly towards the city gate.

Although Li Mingda's voice was not loud, because the situation had already become a confrontation, the surroundings were quiet and quiet, so everyone could hear his words very clearly. "It's a big deal if you accidentally injure the common people." If you say they are common people, you can see that this gentleman is a nobleman, and if you say that an accidental injury is a big deal, it can be seen that this gentleman is not only a nobleman, but also an extremely kind-hearted man who knows how to take care of the people. good nobleman.

The common people respected Li Mingda one after another, and they all looked at Li Mingda's figure with affection, and some of them were full of admiration.

After Tian Hanshu got the order, he stretched out his hand to dig out the package for a long time, and then picked out the most inconspicuous token and threw it towards the leader and guard Bai Yuqiang, which happened to hit Bai Yuqiang's head.

Bai Yuqiang was so angry at being smashed, he turned to glance at the token in front of him and was stunned for a moment, then looked again, his legs were a little weak, he rushed over to pick it up, and after confirming it, he knew that these people came from the city of Chang'an The nobleman was terrified and hurriedly knelt down to make amends.As he kowtowed, there was a cry in his words.Because no matter how stupid people are, they will know what the identity of the nobleman from Chang'an City will be at this time. Recently, it has been reported that Princess Jinyang is coming to Anzhou. Since she came to Chang'an, it must be related to Princess Jinyang characters.If it wasn't Princess Jinyang herself, just a yawn of any eldest grandson would be enough to blow these little guards away.

Because of Bai Yuqiang's fearful submission, the dozen or so guards under him knew that something was wrong when they saw this, and they didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and they all knelt down.More than a dozen tall and strong men huddled into a ball on the ground in fear, not daring to get up, looking at it was refreshing.

Then someone came to tell Bai Yuqiang and others, "Kneel until tomorrow."

Everyone was scared and nodded honestly.

The common people cheered unceasingly when they saw this. Although they didn't understand the identity of the handsome young man who walked in the lead, they knew that he must be an extremely powerful person, otherwise they wouldn't have frightened the arrogant guards of the Linhai Princess Mansion into such a state.The common people were all emboldened this time, pointing fingers at Bai Yuqiang and the others, scolding them for being too arrogant and deserving of today's retribution.

After Li Mingda rode his horse into the city, he saw a roasting vendor near the gate of the city. Lamb leg meat was roasted on the grate. Fragrant and tender.

The smell of hot mutton fills half the street, and most passers-by will look sideways because of the smell.

Li Mingda also looked at it, but not at the meat, but at the three asparagus placed on the side of the oven, which had been half-cooked and softened, and the center of the asparagus had been cut open by the vendor with chopsticks, and the sauce was brushed inside. , sprinkled with minced garlic and sesame seeds.

Tian Hanshan followed Li Mingda's gaze, and hurriedly asked if his lord was hungry, so they would speed up and rush to Princess Linhai's mansion for dinner as soon as possible.After Tian Hanshu finished speaking, he sent someone to Linhai Princess Mansion to inform again.

Li Mingda turned his head and smelled it again, and whispered to Tian Hanshan: "I want to eat that."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure appearing from the vendor's side.He quickly bought the three Luosu, gave the money, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and brought them over.

When Yuchi Baoqi saw that Fang Yi had just bought three Luosu and came back, he laughed at him.

Li Mingda secretly glanced at the things in Fang Yizhi's hand from the corner of his eye, then continued to wave his whip and rushed towards Princess Linhai's mansion quickly.

Princess Linhai Li Yuqiong is the No.16 daughter of Gaozu, who married the son of Pei Ji, the founder of the country.Li Yuqiong was not a direct descendant, and her original status was not very prominent among Gaozu's many descendants.It was only later that she got close to Li Shimin. As for why the brother-sister relationship between Princess Linhai and the saint suddenly became close, no one could explain it clearly.In short, since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he suddenly looked directly at this sister, and he was kind and generous.

Now that Li Yuqiong is ill, Li Shimin has sent his most beloved daughter to visit him. This is unique among Gaozu's concubine princesses, and it also shows the great honor and favor His Majesty bestows on Princess Linhai today.

When Li Mingda and others entered the city for about half a stick of incense, they arrived at Linhai Princess Mansion.Because this mansion is the other garden of Princess Linhai, it is not as grand as a formal mansion, but it is already rare in the boundaries of Anzhou City.

The people in the Princess Mansion had already received the news and were ready, and opened the gate to welcome her early.

Li Yuqiong insisted on getting up sick, and came to greet Li Mingda in person.Just seeing that the people who entered the door were all teenagers, Li Yuqiong was stunned for a moment, wondering which one was Princess Jinyang, or maybe the princess was still to come before she arrived?

Tian Hanxuan hurriedly reported his family, and introduced the identities of all the 'boys' to Li Yuqiong.

Li Mingda was so polite that he met Li Yuqiong.

Li Yuqiong hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Mingda's hand, and said: "Don't be polite, let my aunt take a look at you, when I left Chang'an City, you were not as long as I am, and your face is pink and tender, so cute, At that time, people couldn't help but be happy when they saw it. But you were too young at that time, you didn't bloom, but now you are really... really a big girl, with a scorpion head and moth eyebrows, slim and graceful, like a fairy in Youlan Valley .”

"Fairy of Orchid Valley?" Li Mingda asked with a smile where the words came from.

Li Yuqiong said with a smile, "I had a dream three months ago, in which I went to a valley full of orchids for some reason, and there was a fairy-like figure waiting for me, who said he would take me away." Sickness makes me happy every day. I woke up from the dream before I had time to thank the fairy. I still felt regretful at the time, but now that I saw you, I realized that this dream was a sign that you were coming. It's really effective, I feel refreshed after seeing you, and I feel half of my illness is cured."

After Li Mingda and Li Yuqiong looked at each other, they understood that Li Yuqiong's words were just greetings, and they didn't care about it, but their mouth was so clever that it made people feel happy after listening to her words, which is quite a skill.After Li Mingda thanked her for her compliment with a smile, he asked Li Yuqiong how his current condition was, but he had seen the doctor if he had taken any medicine.

"It's not a serious problem, but when I get sick, I get dizzy and my chest feels stuffy. Sometimes it's so stuffy that if I don't give needles, I'll lose my breath."

"It sounds like a difficult disease, and it needs to be healthy. Aye is worried about his aunt's illness, so he sent two imperial physicians here to see if they can help." Li Mingda said.

Li Yuqiong quickly thanked the sage for her concern, then pulled Li Mingda and asked her why she dressed like this, and what new things have happened in Chang'an City recently.

Li Mingda saw that he couldn't finish talking for a while, so he sent Cheng Chubi and others to go down to settle down and have a rest first, Fang Yizhi still had something to do there, so it would be better not to delay.After waiting for everyone to retreat, Li Mingda carefully explained to Li Yuqiong why he wore men's clothing so that he could travel lightly and quickly.

Li Yuqiong was surprised and said: "It's not safe to do this, and I'd better do it less in the future. You are the second brother's sweetheart. If something happens to me because of visiting me, I will feel very sorry."

"My aunt is very right, my son will keep it in mind." Li Mingda agreed.

Li Yuqiong asked Li Mingda about the situation of several old friends who were still in Chang'an, and Li Mingda answered them one by one.Seeing Li Mingda's tired face afterwards, Li Yuqiong poked her head quickly, and said angrily, "I'm really sick, and my head hurts. You must be tired after driving for days, but I'm dragging you to talk, what can you do?"

Li Yuqiong hurriedly ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome the wind.

The banquet at the Princess Mansion had a lot of mutton, cut carp and other dishes, which was full of ostentation. Li Mingda was not in the mood to eat meat and drink, so he only used a little, and went back to his room to rest, with only [-]% of his stomach full. I'm not full yet.

Not long after, Tian Hanshan suddenly came up with hot roasted soy sauce, served with a plate of cold pickled cucumbers, and a bowl of corn porridge.Li Mingda immediately got an appetite when he saw it. Although the Luosu had been reheated, Li Mingda could still recognize the three Luosu as the three sold by the vendors at the gate of the city.

"You asked Fang Yi directly for it?"

Tian Hanshan hurriedly denied, "I really want to ask for it, but I don't want Fang Dalang to send it on my own initiative, which saves trouble."

Li Mingda took a piece of Luosu with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, the taste was as expected, less oily and refreshing, full of flavor, very delicious.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Li Mingda was finally full, and turned to chatting and asked Tian Hanshan: "Do you think Fang Dalang bought it because he saw that I liked it, or did he realize that I wanted it after buying it and then sent it?" .”

"In short, it's all to please the princess, but it doesn't matter." Tian Hanshan said with a smile.

"There's a big difference." Li Mingda blinked and said while looking out the window while holding his chin.

Tian Hanshan was thoughtful, but still didn't understand, so he asked: "Then what kind of Fang Dalang does your lord think?"

"The former." Li Mingda replied immediately.
