Chang'an's Zhuque Street is always very lively, with the constant coming and going of Hu merchants, the hawking of ordinary people, the flying catkins, and the falling peach blossoms. It is always a noisy mess in the spring, making people wonder where to pay attention. A carriage
Enter through the city gate and drive towards the palace.
"Brother, why do you think His Majesty summoned us back?" A childlike face with pink and jade carvings was peeked out from the carriage. Her black hair was only held up by a plain white jade hairpin, and she looked outside curiously.
Zhao Lanshe thought in his heart: There is an ancient saying: "The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hoofs are so strong that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." The scenery of Chang'an is indeed different from that of Huai'an. Compared with the beautiful mountains and rivers of Huai'an, it is a bit more majestic.
Magnificent.
"Although the peace talks with Beirong have just stabilized the government, it has been the practice in the past dynasties to confer kings and send their sons to the capital as hostages. Our Huai'an Palace has always been close to His Majesty, and we must set an example for other vassal princes."
A man in the carriage replied. The man was wearing a crimson round-neck robe, and the book he was holding in his hand added a bit of bookishness to him.
He smiled and said, "But Lan Musk, I've said so much to you, don't you understand nothing at all?"
The girl frowned, as if she had the word "unhappiness" written on her face, curled her lips and said: "Brother, I am a little young, and I don't like to read history books much, but I still want to send my son as a hostage.
Is it okay to know?"
Of course Zhao Lanshe would not fail to understand. After all, a senior high school student in the 21st century, even if she is a science student, would not fail to understand what a proton is. Of course, if you want to ask her why she is here, it will be a long story.
.
But to briefly summarize, it was probably that one day not long before the college entrance examination, she fell asleep while memorizing classical Chinese, and when she opened her eyes, she was here.
Having read a few novels, she also realized that she might have encountered the legendary time travel, but if she knew it, she would travel back and forth, and it was transmitted to a ten-year-old baby. She thought that the "fuck" she blurted out back then almost ended up with the Princess of Huai'an.
I fainted from fright, that is to say, from then on, there was an endless stream of famous doctors coming and going from the Huai'an Prince's Palace.
Later, there were legends about Princess Chengyang in Yuzhou. According to legend, Princess Chengyang's temperament changed drastically after she fell into the water at the age of ten. She changed from a gentle and quiet standard lady to a follower all day long.
The "little heroine" whose brother is running around
Princess Jin Song of Huai'an, who was born as a typical lady, almost got mad to death. Perhaps Zhao Lanshe's proficiency in poetry, lyrics, and songs was the only consolation for her, but the King of Huai'an wanted to be open-minded, so his only precious girl was fine.
, then just do whatever you want, and she doted on Zhao Lanshe even more, and even let her and Zhao Zhuhan worship Lei Bao, the first swordsman in Huai'an, as their martial arts master.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the chaotic voices on the road entered the carriage.
"Oh, it's such a pity that the young lady of the Zhang family was snatched away by that boy from the Chen family at such a young age..."
"That guy from the Chen family is a lunatic... he pretends to be crazy all the time, and the government can't do anything about him... Oh, stop talking, be careful not to let that guy hear, who's daughter is he targeting again..."
Hearing this, the girl in the car couldn't sit still. She raised her hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. The little girl in the middle was wearing a pine-colored dress decorated with moon-white tangled branches.
, wearing a mutton-fat jade pendant around his waist. The jade pendant was of excellent quality.
"Lan She..." The man in the car sighed helplessly, "That's all, I just went with her when I arrived in the capital..."
A burly man in the crowd was dragging a trembling girl beside him toward the alley. Zhao Lanshe raised the whip in his hand and hit the ground in front of the man, raising a cloud of dust and saying, "Let go of that girl!"
"Although her voice was much colder than before, it was still a little soft.
The big man was startled by the whip, but when he saw it again, he saw that she was a pretty little girl. He couldn't help but feel happy. She was a woman he had never seen before in the capital. She was probably not from a powerful family, so he stretched out his hand to pull her.
Zhao Lanshe raised her eyebrows and raised the soft whip in her hand, hitting the man's hand that was reaching towards her without any bias. The man let out a cry of pain, and then became furious.
He let go of the delicate-looking girl, picked up the stick of the vendor next to him, and hit Zhao Lanshe randomly. Zhao Lanshe nimbly dodged while wrapping his whip around his wooden stick and pushing him towards the little shop.
Pull it in the direction of the stall.
The man in the same car was still standing aside, watching as if no one was there, and said with a smile, "Lan She, that ghost girl, I'm afraid that man is getting anxious..."
Sure enough, the big man probably felt humiliated, ashamed and angry, his face turned red, and he pulled the stick with all his strength.
After all, Zhao Lanshe was just a child who had not yet bowed. Naturally, he was gradually losing ground. He was getting closer and closer to the big man, and he saw that the big man was holding a wooden stick in his right hand and was about to hit the girl's head.
Zhao Lanshe let go of the whip in his hand and fell to one side while shouting, "Brother, look at it! Help, otherwise your sister will be beaten to death..."
Zhao Zhuhan laughed dumbly, that's all, it was just to teach this girl a lesson... Before he could take action, a young man jumped off the horse outside the crowd and kicked the big man's hand holding the wooden stick, mockingly.
said:
"Little brats can learn from other people's heroes to save beauties, but with your three-legged cat skills, you still need me to save you..."
The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had long crow-colored hair braided into three thin braids behind his ears, mixed with the remaining hair and had deep eyes. He wore a dark blue round-neck robe with ink-dyed sleeves and gold thread trim.
, wearing a black sleeved shirt with cranes and flying pillars on the back, tied with a black palace ribbon, a blood jade ring around the waist, and armor on the wrists.
The big man fell to the ground in pain, and just when he was about to get up and fight back, officers and soldiers lined up in order, and the young man took out a token from his waist.
The token was made of brass, cast with tiger patterns, and appended with the word "Lin". When the leader of the officers and soldiers saw the token, his expression changed and he immediately ordered: "Come here, the yellow talisman has disrupted people's lives many times.
Put it down first.
The young man looked stern, raised his eyes and said coldly: "This is not the first time this has happened. The common people hope that you can thoroughly investigate this matter and give them justice." Then he got on his horse and glanced at the little girl who was staying where he was.
said:
"Little brat, you're not good at martial arts. Let's leave things like heroes saving beauties to others next time." Then he galloped off.
"Hey! Who are you calling a brat?"
Zhao Lanshe, who had just reacted, shouted at the back of the young man who was riding away. The young man probably heard it, but he just waved his hand at Zhao Lanshe and continued to drive away, "Impolite little fart."
Baby, I don’t know how much older sister is than you." Zhao Lanshe cursed in his heart.
The woman who had just been dragged by the big man looked at the young man walking away and couldn't help but be stunned. When she came back to her senses, she bowed to Zhao Lanshe Yingying and said, "Thank you for saving me today. If it hadn't been for Miss Zhi Niang, I'm afraid... Zhi Niang wouldn't be here today."
I thought that the retribution was just something that the girl would be useful for in the future, so I just gave my orders..."
Zhao Lanshe stretched out his hand to help the girl, and said with a smile: "Girl, there is no need to be polite to me. After all, the ancients drew their swords to help when they saw injustice." Then he jumped onto the carriage, and saw the man in scarlet clothes holding his head in the carriage.
Sitting and drinking tea, he said angrily: "Brother, why don't you save me? Could it be that you don't want my sister anymore?"
Zhao Zhuhan said calmly: "You, a hero, can be saved by your own heroes, so why should I take action?"
"Then if no one saves me, will I really just watch?"
"Lan She, my brother wants to tell you that this is the capital, not the fiefdom. You are no longer the little princess who was messing around in the fiefdom. Don't stand out in the capital. This is the first lesson I have taught you.
"
Zhao Zhuhan put down the tea cup in his hand and continued, "Of course, brother is not saying that we should ignore the situation, but we should solve it in a more roundabout way with less loss of wisdom...unless it is a desperate situation."
Zhao Lanshe leaned on Zhao Zhuhan's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Okay, brother, you are now just like when Mr. Li was giving me lectures. Besides, how can brother be willing to let something happen to me? Don't I still have a father and a brother?"
Brother..."
Zhao Zhuhan said: "You, my brother will naturally do his best to protect your safety, but my brother is not always there..."
"Okay, I know. I will protect myself, and brother should also protect himself. Brother, I'm sleepy. Can I sleep with you for a while?"
Zhao Zhuhan helplessly reached out and touched the girl's head and said, "Go to sleep, brother is here."
After the girl on his shoulder fell asleep, Zhao Zhuhan picked up the letter in his hand.
About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. The coachman showed his token to the commander of the guards and let him go smoothly.
"Lan De, Lan De... wake up..." Zhao Zhuhan gently patted Zhao Lan De.
"Um...here we are..." Zhao Lanshe rubbed his sleepy eyes, followed Zhao Zhuhan out of the car, and passed through countless vermilion palace walls and glazed tiles before arriving in front of a magnificent palace.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Huai'an, is summoned by His Majesty Princess Chengyang." A eunuch wearing a dark green single coat was slightly stooped at the waist.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhao Zhuhan stretched out his hand and put some broken silver into the eunuch's hand calmly. "I will treat my father-in-law to have tea with these silver coins."
Zhao Lanshe followed Zhao Zhuhan into the main hall. There was a middle-aged man sitting on top of the hall. In Zhao Lanshe's eyes, that man looked very much like his father. This was probably the current emperor Zhao Ming, who was also his father's relative.
Brother, she and brother are the imperial uncle, but this man is more dignified and dignified than his father.
"I, Zhao Zhuhan, the Crown Prince of Huai'an, pays homage to Your Majesty."
"My daughter Zhao Lanshe, Princess of Chengyang County, pays homage to Your Majesty." Zhao Lanshe did not dare to neglect, and followed his brother to pay homage to the person in the high position.
The man in the high position raised his hand, motioning for the two of them to stand up, and said with a kind smile: "Get up, I haven't seen the King of Huai'an for a long time. This is your home too, so there is no need to call you Your Majesty, just call me Uncle Emperor.
Now that you two have entered the palace in Beijing, have you arranged for someone to clean it up?"
