Qin Xiao came out of the palace in a bad mood. He rode the Black Overlord along the long street, thinking about the saint's current attitude. I am afraid that Yuan Gai Wushuang will finally be able to leave the Tang Dynasty safely.
But as long as Yuan Gai Wushuang takes a step outside the borders of the Tang Dynasty, this incident will probably be the most humiliating moment since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
When he was on duty in Xiling, he would listen to books in the teahouse when he had nothing to do. In the stories of those storytellers, the Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire that shocked all the barbarians. Whenever the surrounding countries saw the flag of the Tang Dynasty, they would
He didn't even have the courage to escape, so he knelt down obediently and bowed to the flag of the Tang Dynasty.
The history of the Tang Dynasty’s conquest of the Bohai Kingdom will naturally not be missed by any storyteller.
The iron-blooded soldiers of the Tang Dynasty under Emperor Wuzong defeated the arrogant Bohai Kingdom to its knees, and even sent the commander of Bohai to the horse of Emperor Wuzong to accept His Majesty's punishment.
Whenever he heard about the unparalleled glory of the Tang Empire in the teahouse, Qin Xiao felt his blood boiling in his bones.
But he really didn't expect that one day, a son of Mo Lizhi from Bohai would kill dozens of people in the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty, the emperor of the current dynasty, would actually want to make the matter as minor as possible, and the murderer could still get away with it.
He actually knows that the Tang Empire today is naturally not as powerful as it was in its heyday, but does this incident also show that the Tang Empire is rapidly declining?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing not far away in front of him. He didn't mean to look at it, but when his eyes were scanning the street, he happened to pass by there, and the silhouette of the figure came into view.
When I saw it, I immediately felt familiar. I looked around and saw a graceful woman entering a calligraphy and painting shop. She was wearing a light-colored thin cloak and a bamboo hat with gauze hanging from the edge.
Covering his face.
However, Qin Xiao only looked at Pingting's figure and the way she walked, and at a glance he recognized it was Sun Meier, the chief of the palace.
He was a little surprised. Changsun Sheguan was a close attendant of the saint. When he went to the palace to meet the saint, Changsun Sheguan was like the saint's shadow and would definitely be by his side. However, Changsun Meier was not seen when he entered the palace today.
Qin Xiao was a little strange at first, but now he was even more surprised to find his eldest grandson Meier appearing outside the palace.
He wanted to go directly to say hello, but he saw a carriage parked outside. The driver was holding a bamboo hat, but he was obviously observing the movements around him, so it was not easy to go directly.
Although he is familiar with Changsun Meier, this beautiful lady is from the palace and has an unusual status. As an official of the imperial court, if he gets too familiar with a female palace official in public, he is afraid that he will
It cannot be used by people with ulterior motives.
When he got off the horse, there happened to be a stall selling jewelry nearby. The items sold were naturally not expensive jewelry. He squatted down and pretended to choose, but he kept observing the movement on the other side of the carriage. It didn't take long before he saw
Changsun Meier came out of the shop, holding a scroll in her hand. She seemed to have bought a painting inside. She obviously didn't pay attention to this. After getting on the carriage, the carriage turned around and left.
Qin Xiao was even more surprised.
If you want to go back to the palace, you should keep going, but now you are turning around in the opposite direction to the palace, but you don't know where Changsun Meier is going at this time.
He was curious in his heart and wanted to see what Changsun Meier was going to do. He was about to get up and leave. He thought that he had been shopping at the street stall for a long time, and he just picked up a bracelet and dropped a piece of silver. He didn't wait for the vendor to find any silver.
, got on his horse and followed the carriage.
The hawker raised his hand and wanted to stop him, but Qin Xiao walked quickly. The hawker thought about it and put down his hand.
The carriage passed through several streets, and Qin Xiao followed him from a distance. He did not get close, but he did not let the carriage disappear from his sight. After walking for more than half an hour, it became more and more remote, and the carriage finally stopped at one place.
Outside the temple, after Changsun Meier got off the bus, the driver drove away directly. Meier looked around, and finally turned around and looked at Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao had no place to hide at this time and was riding on the horse.
Go up, a little embarrassed, but still waved to Changsun Meier.
Changsun Meier was calm and composed. She seemed to have known that Qin Xiao was following her. She just nodded slightly and entered the temple without saying much.
Qin Xiao was even more embarrassed. When he arrived at the temple, he realized that it was a Guanyin Temple. There were not many temples and the incense was not very strong. He tied up his horse and then climbed up the stone steps and entered the Guanyin Temple.
In the middle, there is a golden statue of Guanyin, the Great Merciful and Great Compassion, and there are many small statues of Guanyin. The statues of Guanyin are ever-changing, and the statues are all solemn and solemn.
Changsun Meier was already kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Shuo, clasping her hands together and looking up at the Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin.
Qin Xiao walked to the edge, hesitated, and knelt down on the futon beside him, but found that the hall was empty and there was no one else.
Meier kowtowed several times devoutly. Qin Xiao saw this and imitated her. Every time Meier kowtowed, he kowtowed too. It wasn't until Meier turned around to look at him that Qin Xiao smiled awkwardly and said: "
It’s a coincidence that Shi Guan is so good!”
Changsun Meier was not worried. She smiled lightly and said in a soft voice, "Isn't it a coincidence? Didn't you follow me all the way here?"
"This...!" Qin Xiao was even more embarrassed. He raised his hand and scratched his head, explaining: "I just came out of the palace earlier. I didn't see the house officer in the palace. I felt very strange. How could I know that on the way back?
When I saw you, I wanted to express my gratitude to you personally, so...that's why I followed you."
"grateful?"
Qin Xiao took out a jade pendant from his arms. It was the eldest grandson Meier who had given it to him personally when he left Beijing for Jiangnan last time. The original intention was that when he encountered difficulties, he could use the jade pendant to seek help from his eldest grandson Yuanxin.
“Sister Sheguan, I have always carried this jade pendant with me. When we were in the south of the Yangtze River, Commander Changsun also helped a lot.” Qin Xiao handed the jade pendant over and thanked: “The jade pendant returns to its original owner. Thank you sister for taking care of me.”
Changsun Meier smiled brightly, took the jade pendant, and said softly: "You have made great achievements in Jiangnan this time. The sage has praised you endlessly. In the future, act cautiously, and the sage will naturally support you."
“Why is the officer free today?” Qin Xiao saw his eldest grandson Meier’s warm smile like the spring breeze, and his mood suddenly felt very comfortable and relaxed.
Strangely enough, Changsun Sheguan's appearance is not the most beautiful among the women he knows, but her smile is very contagious. Qin Xiao always feels particularly comfortable every time he sees her, and
Your mood will also become particularly good.
She is like an elegant lotus, always giving people a clean feeling, and her restrained temperament can't help but exude full of talent.
Changsun Meier still smiled and said: "My brother has been back in Beijing for many days and I haven't seen him yet. The saint was considerate and asked me to come out of the palace to meet my brother. I have just met him. I wanted to go back to the palace directly, but at this time, the saint also used
Please come here to worship the Bodhisattva and seek peace."
Qin Xiao immediately thought that Princess Sheyue was escorted by Changsun Yuanxin and the Hangzhou Battalion's cavalry this time when Princess Sheyue returned to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River. He suddenly realized: "I almost forgot. Yes, Commander Changsun returned to Beijing. Are you going to get together?"
Of course I want to meet her." I thought that after She Yue returned to Beijing, I would have no news about her, and I didn't know what her current situation was.
He knew that if the saint really punished Princess Sheyue, it would never be known to the outside world. Even if she was really put under house arrest, no one outside the palace would know.
If you want to know She Yue's current situation, you will definitely not get the answer by asking other people, but the official in front of you will definitely know something about the situation.
After all, she knew everything about the situation in the palace, and she was also a close maid to the saint. If the saint punished Princess Sheyue and others didn't know the truth, Changsun Mei'er would definitely know it.
He also knew that the relationship between Changsun Meier and Princess Sheyue seemed to be pretty good, and he wanted to ask some information from Changsun Meier, but he also knew that this matter was unusual, and he didn't know whether he should ask after the words were spoken.
exit.
Changsun Meier hummed slightly, glanced at Qin Xiao, the smile on her face disappeared, and she just sighed: "It's not enough to meet once, and I don't know when the next time we will meet is."
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Commander Changsun is on duty in the south of the Yangtze River and will return to Beijing from time to time. In fact, he can also go to Jiangnan. When he goes there, he can not only meet Commander-in-Chief Changsun, but also experience the customs and customs of Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan...!" Changsun Meier showed a hint of longing, but then shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see Jiangnan in this life."
Qin Xiao was surprised and said: "Why? The official will not stay in the palace all his life."
"I will be leaving soon." Changsun Meier said with a hint of sadness in her tone, smiling bitterly: "Not only do I have to leave the palace, but I also have to stay away from Kyoto. I don't know if I will be able to set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty again."
Qin Xiao's heart trembled, and he realized something in an instant, and asked in a low voice: "Why did the officer say that? Where are you going?"
Changsun Meier wanted to shake her head, but said softly: "It's nothing, I talked too much."
"Is Sheguan going to Bohai?" Qin Xiao had already guessed something and was surprised: "Sister Sheguan, the saint would never think of marrying you to Bohai, right?"
Changsun Meier lowered her head and did not speak.
Qin Xiao saw that she was silent, almost acquiescing, and was shocked. He never expected that such a change would happen.
The Bohai envoy came to propose marriage. Qin Xiao was once worried that the saint would marry Princess Sheyue to the Bohai Kingdom. If this was the case, Qin Xiao would never accept it and would try to sabotage this Bohai proposal at any cost. However, like Su Yu,
Having said that, knowing that the possibility of marrying Princess Sheyue is very slim, the court can only choose a young lady who is a descendant of an official to give her the title of princess and marry her away. Although marrying Bohai is not a good thing in Qin Xiao's heart, as long as it does not involve
During the Musk Moon, he was too lazy to take care of it.
But he never expected that the saint would actually have his mind set on Changsun Meier.
