Prince does not come

Chapter 3 Sedan chair

As soon as Li Qing entered the gate of the mansion, he saw half of the new and half old and rather simple sedan chairs parked in the middle of the front courtyard of the palace, which was quite eye-catching.The guards who sent the wedding off were sitting sparsely by the side, which was even more eye-catching.

Seeing Li Qing coming in, everyone stood up with a 'shua', and looked at Li Qing with admiration.

That's Hell Shura, who went into battle at the age of 12 to kill the enemy, with a spear and a fierce horse, how many myths have been created.

It's just...why does she look so weak and delicate?

The head of the family got up and couldn't help but stepped forward to greet him slightly, and said in a humble tone: "The prince is back, we will take our leave first."

"Ah?" If Li Qing was only slightly surprised just now, he is already shocked now.With such an indifferent tone, is it really a princess?

"Ahem..." The boss also felt that his words were too straightforward.It's just that the princess has contracted some disease and has been in a coma for a month. No matter how she screams, she still doesn't respond. If it wasn't for her breathing, they would have thought she was already dead.But even with the half-dead look, he couldn't explain it, so he quickly took the money and left, so he hurriedly said: "The princess has arrived safely, we should go back and report to the second...to the emperor"

"What letter to report?" Li Qingqing glanced at the people who were sending the wedding, and asked with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The servant who came to serve tea saw Li Qing's smile, and took a careful look at the head of the house.He wanted to see if the fortune-teller said that the Yintang would turn black before people were going to be unlucky.As a result, hey, it's really a little dark.

The head of the family was a little speechless, he was just a bandit, how could he know the rules of the royal family's marriage, just now he just said it casually.Just when there was nothing to do, he remembered the words of the second leader, nodded meaningfully, and said: "En"

Li Qing was a little bit amused to watch, how dare he say that he is the Princess of Lu?I'm afraid the emperor of Lu knew about it and was so angry that he couldn't eat for a few days.But there was some embarrassment on his face: "My lord has come to the palace, when will I be able to come back?"

"Aren't you a prince?" The head of the family frowned, wouldn't it be a while longer.

Li Qingdao: "I'm just the steward of the palace"

housekeeper?That should also take care of the money.Will it be revealed if you just ask for money directly?The head is a little embarrassed, but if he doesn't leave, no matter whether the princess wakes up or not, she will be exposed.After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said, "Oh, it's the housekeeper. Our emperor told us to send the princess to the palace and go back immediately."

"Oh? You mean you can't even wait for the prince?" Li Qing was a little puzzled.Since these people didn't want to see the prince, why did they take so much trouble to enter the palace?

The head of the family quickly nodded and said: "Well, the emperor dare not violate the order."

Li Qing glanced suspiciously at the head of the family, but saw that his expression was sincere, and there was no trace of falsehood.Are you really planning to leave?I was even more puzzled, and asked, "May I ask which princess is in the sedan chair?"

Huh?Is it possible that you don't know who you are marrying when you marry and recognize your relative?The head of the family had no idea. He didn't expect to encounter this kind of problem at first, so he didn't ask at all, and he didn't know who was in the sedan chair at all.The head of the family was afraid that he would reveal his secrets if he made a mistake, so he could only ask back with a smile, "Don't the housekeeper know?"

Li Qing shook his head and said: "At the beginning of the year, the monarch of your country came to Daliang and only said that he wanted to get married, but he didn't say which princess it was."

This is true. Years ago, Lu Guojun Ji Zhen did not say which princess he would marry. In order to show his sincerity and let the regent choose himself, he sent all the albums of suitable princesses in the palace to the palace.Naturally, Long Si didn't even look at it, so he let Li Qing choose.

The head was very distressed and racked his brains to think about it.The only princess he knows in Xuanguo is the first princess Xuanyu, so he can only gamble.With a hard heart, he said: "It's Xuanyu, the first princess."

Li Qing almost laughed out loud when he heard this, not to mention that Liang Guo would not marry Xuan Guo at all, but Xuan Yu, the first princess of Xuan Guo, had obviously married two years ago.But he didn't say anything, and nodded, feeling a bit stunned, "Oh, so it's the first princess."

Seeing that Li Qing had no doubts at all, the head of the family knew that he had made the right bet, heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Yes, she is the first princess. Now that we have asked clearly, we will take our leave first."

Li Qing didn't know what they wanted to do, so he followed their wishes and said, "Please"

The group of people stood there without moving, staring blankly at Li Qing, as if they had something to say.Seeing Li Qing was puzzled for a while, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The head of the family thought for a while, and felt that it was better not to speak too bluntly, so he tactfully said: "We are here to see off the relatives..."

But the words were too tactful, Li Qing didn't understand at all, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that being euphemistic won't work, the head of the family stopped being euphemistic, and said directly: "We won't be able to get married in time, so the butler can give us the happy money first."

Li Halal really can't laugh or cry, it took so much effort to cheat money.Immediately shouted: "Yun Xun"

Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that the caller had brought the money, and they all waited eagerly, secretly guessing how much money the Prince Regent's Mansion would receive.

After a while, Yun Xun came to the front hall, looked at the crowd, and frowned slightly, why are there so many bandits in the palace?

"See off" Li Qing said coldly, with some imperceptible anger in his voice.

"What did you say?" Everyone became angry when they heard this.

I have worked so hard to come here for so long, not to mention that the expenses along the way are also quite a lot of money. I originally wanted to earn a lot of money, but now it seems that I don’t intend to give any money. I saw the people in the mansion There were very few, and they habitually pulled away.

"Heh" Li Qing laughed contemptuously, it was the first time in so many years that he saw someone who dared to make trouble in the palace, it was really interesting.

Yun Xun looked at the group of people who did it, and it was very fresh.It just so happened that he hadn't practiced for a long time, and his hands were itchy.Excitedly, he fought with the person on the opposite side, but in just a few strokes, when Yun Xun's interest was high, a group of bandits were defeated. Looking at the bandits lying on the ground, he yelled and said: " come again"

The boss looked at Yun Xun who was eager to try, his eyes were shining brightly, and looked at his brother with a bruised nose and swollen face. He regretted it at the beginning. Now that he did it, the money would definitely be lost. Don't put your life on it again, so he hurriedly took a The brothers left the palace as if fleeing, and they didn't even look at the princess who was sent to the side before leaving.

"Hey..." Yun Xun was about to chase, but Li Qing grabbed him and said, "Don't chase anymore."

"Why didn't you chase?" Yun Xun asked, looking at the backs of everyone.

Li Qing shook his head. Anyway, he didn't get it right. Now that the prince is already the target of public criticism, it's better to have one thing more than one thing less.

"Then what about this?" Yun Xun kicked the sedan chair beside him, the sedan chair shook slightly, but there was no sound from inside.

"Throw it out" Li Qing took a look at the dilapidated and shabby sedan chair, and said that it was Princess Xuan Guo's sedan chair. I am afraid that the Emperor Xuan Guo would find out that he would be so angry that he would not be able to eat for a few days.

Immediately called a few servants, ready to carry the sedan chair out and throw it away.At first I thought it was just an empty sedan chair, but when the boy lifted it up, the sedan chair was pushed down heavily, obviously someone was there.

Li Qing frowned. Could it be that she had really found a woman to pretend to be a princess? When she lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, there was a person lying crookedly inside. She was indeed wearing a princess-like wedding dress. The sedan chair was empty. There was a small wooden box by his feet, and Li Qing picked it out.

When I opened it, I found a jade pendant inside, with the character [Xuan] engraved on one side and the character [Crane] engraved on the other.

It seemed that it was indeed the jade pendant of Xuan Guo's royal family, and Li Qing was even more puzzled. How could the bandits have the jade pendant of Xuan Guo's royal family?Then he called Yunjiang and asked, "Yunjiang, is there a princess named Crane in Xuanguo?"

Yun Jiang nodded, and said: "Yes, the eighteenth princess of Xuan Kingdom is called Xuan He. But this princess has been married a few days ago."

"Oh? Where are you going to marry?"

"Magic Tart"

"Magic Tart?" Li Qing looked at the sedan chair in the courtyard, how did the princess who went to Magic Tart come to Liang Kingdom?Also came to the Regent's Palace?

Yun Jiang also saw the sedan chair in the courtyard, and was equally surprised, "Why is this sedan chair here?"

Li Qing couldn't figure it out more and more. He thought it was just a scam, but he didn't expect to get a princess.He hurriedly called Yun Xun to chase after the person who sent off his relatives just now, this matter needs to be clarified.

Yun Xun didn't return to the palace until evening, but he was empty-handed but failed to bring him back.

Li Qing frowned and asked, "What's going on?" With Yun Xun's ability, there's no reason why he couldn't bring him back.

Yun Xun was also a little annoyed, "I searched for a long time, but I didn't see a single person" as if it disappeared out of thin air.

Li Qing looked at the sedan chair in the courtyard, no matter whether she was Princess Xuanguo, she couldn't stay in the palace, "Take the sedan chair out and throw it on the street"

Yun Jiang was a little surprised, and said: "Li Qing, then maybe it's Princess Xuan Guo"

"It's because it's Princess Xuanguo that I want to throw it out." Yun Xun said indifferently, walking to the side of the sedan chair, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and tore off the 'princess' hijab.

It was already late at this time, and the candlelight reflected the pattern on the window lattice onto Xuan Yunqi's extremely white face through the car window. The shadows were mottled and intertwined, coupled with those bright and coquettish red lips, he looked like a female ghost.Yun Xun immediately took a step back in fright, "Is this a human or a ghost?"

"What's the matter?" Li Qing and Yun Jiang hurried towards the sedan chair, and when they saw the people in the sedan chair clearly, they stopped in their tracks.

"Yunjiang, this...is that Princess Xuanguo?" Li Qing asked questioningly.

"This..." Yun Jiang couldn't explain clearly either. Although he was specialized in scouting information, there were many Princesses of the Xuan Kingdom, and they were all in the palace. Except for a few noble ones, the rest only knew about them. .

Yun Xun kicked the sedan chair in distaste, and said, "I think it's better to throw it away", this look is really unlucky.

Both Li Qing and Yun Jiang nodded in agreement.

Xuan Yunqi felt his head was as heavy as lead, and his ears were creaking loudly, he struggled to open his eyes.Only then did he realize that the creaking sound seemed to be coming from the sedan chair beneath him.

sedan chair?Immediately, his heart shuddered, maybe Chi Cheng had caught him again.He quickly yelled: "Stop!" His throat was so thirsty that his throat hurt when he spoke.

The sedan chair was still creaking and creaking, Xuan Yun moved in unison, feeling extremely sore and limp all over, without any strength at all, this is by no means drunk.Xuan Yunqi struggled to move towards the sedan chair door.

As soon as they reached the door of the sedan chair, the sedan chair stopped, and everyone outside shouted respectfully, "My lord!"

Prince?Could it be the emperor's uncle?Xuan Yunqi was a little puzzled, he raised his hand and opened the sedan door, a grimace mask suddenly came into view, frightened Xuan Yunqi's already dizzy head even more dizzy.He raised his hand and pressed his temple vigorously, why is this place... Liang Guo?

The bearer at the front suddenly moved for some reason, the sedan chair tilted slightly, Xuan Yunqi rolled out of the sedan chair, and fell straight to the ground.

"Ouch..." Xuan Yunqi limply lay on the ground, crying in his heart.Struggling to stand up, but no strength at all.

Long Si cast a disgusted glance at the person on the ground, and asked, "Who is she?" His voice was like snow in the cold winter without a trace of warmth, and it was like a quiet and dark night without a trace of ups and downs.

Li Qing said, "It should be Princess Xuanguo."

Xuan Yunqi, who was rubbing his head, was so startled that he almost lost his strength when he heard Li Qing's words.Princess...?

Slowly lowered the neck stiffened by fright.Seeing this, he was even more stupid, staring at the bright red clothes on his face in disbelief.This... this... this is the wedding dress...

"Xuan Guo?" Long Si cast a slanted glance at Xuan Yunqi who was on the ground, with disdain in his words.Xuanguo has always put etiquette above all else, how much is it that he is not favored to dress like this?

Li Qing couldn't deny it, and handed the jade pendant taken out of the sedan chair to Long Si.

Long Si didn't pick it up either, he just raised his eyes to see that the topaz was bright yellow and transparent, and it was indeed the jade pendant of Princess Xuan.

Xuan Yunqi also looked up secretly, and at a glance, he saw that it was indeed the jade pendant of Princess Xuan Guo, but his heart, which was already shocked to the extreme, couldn't make any waves.Looking carefully, it seems to have written a [crane].

But, no.Xuan Yunqi's chaotic mind finally turned around, Liang Guo and Xuan Guo were not married.

Long Si withdrew his gaze, and without looking at Xuan Yunqi again, he just said expressionlessly, "Throw it out"

Xuan Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what happened, throwing it out was obviously the best ending.

This happy event came to the door suddenly, Xuan Yunqi felt that his strength had recovered a little bit, he stood up after struggling, resisted the desire to take a look at Long Si, and walked towards the door with the greatest strength. Can not bear wings.

Yun Jiang looked at Xuan Yunqi's back, and said in a low voice, "My lord, she is not Princess Xuan."

Xuanguo regards thinness as beauty, and the princesses of Xuanguo have waists like thin willows, and they are no more than six feet long.The person in front of him was more than seven feet long, and when he looked closely, he didn't fit his wedding clothes, so he was obviously much smaller.

Long Si looked sideways, said coldly, "Stop"

Said to go, but to move.

Xuan Yunqi felt that he had walked for quite a while, but it was only a few steps away.Hearing Long Si's voice, Xuan Yunqi squeezed the palm of his hand, then reluctantly stopped, turned around slowly, and before he could speak, he saw Long Si gave him a cold look, extremely disgusted She opened her mouth and said, "Take her to wash up."

Mouth dry and tongue dry, rebuttal words stuck in throat, unable to speak out.Xuan Yunqi watched helplessly as a few servants came over and carried him away.

"Yunjiang, follow me to have a look," Long Si said.

"Yes" Yun Jiang replied, and hurriedly followed Xuan Yunqi.

Xuan Yunqi looked at the face in the water, definitely scarier than Long Si's grimace mask.But now this is his life-saving talisman, and it must not be washed.

"I..." Xuan Yunqi raised his breath and said a word, a wet veil was placed on his face without warning, covering all the words behind him.

It took three basins of water to wash it clean.

Xuan Yunqi looked down resignedly, and was suddenly delighted.He sighed secretly, as expected, there is no unparalleled road, and the ancients did not deceive me.

I don't know if it's because the rouge is too low-quality, or because it's been applied too thickly and hasn't been washed for a month. The face is densely covered with small red spots, which looks very permeable.

Xuan Yunqi thought gleefully, now, he must be kicked out.

Xuan Yunqi only felt thirsty, hungry and heartburning, thinking that he would be sent out soon, so he had to eat something quickly to regain his strength.Looking sideways at the servant who was supporting him, he asked feebly, "Is there any food?"

The young servant didn't dare to make decisions without Long Si's order, so he didn't answer.At this time Yun Jiang came in, looked at Xuan Yunqi, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he recovered immediately, and said: "Go and get some food."

"Yes" the young man took the order and hurried to go.

Yun Jiang said: "You should rest for a while" and then motioned for the young man to help Xuan Yunqi to sit on the chair.

Xuan Yunqi's mouth was dry, so he smiled gratefully at Yunjiang.Thank you so much.

Yun Jiang nodded in response to Xuan Yunqi, then turned and left.

"You said, he is Xuan Yunqi, the Crown Prince of Xuan Kingdom?" Long Si sat at the desk, his hand holding the pen paused slightly.

Yun Jiangdao: "Yes, it is the same as the person in the painting"

There is an information database in Yunjiang, and there is a portrait of Xuan Yunqi in it.

Long Si slightly hooked his lips, it really was God's will.He was about to send troops to crusade against Xuan Guo, but he didn't expect that the prince of Xuan Guo would come to his door by himself.Whether it's being a hostage or attacking the morale of the army, the only crown prince of the Xuan Kingdom is an unparalleled bargaining chip.

The hand paused, and the ink dripped down the hair on the tip of the brush, and it immediately smudged, and the painting was useless.

Long Si put down his pen, and an idea immediately came to mind.Said: "Go and call Li Qing, no one can talk about this."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Yun Jiang nodded and retreated.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Li Qing said outside the door: "My lord"

"Come in..." Long Si stood by the window and looked up, the night sky was silent and moonless.

Li Qing opened the door and entered, saying: "My lord"

Long Sidao: "Go pick some servant girls back and let him stay in the name of the princess."

The Prince Regent's Mansion is full of men, not a single servant girl.

He must be referring to the unidentified princess who came today, but Li Qing is a little puzzled. If the princess is fixed, what will happen next month when Princess Lu comes?He said: "My lord, I haven't found out who she is yet, so is it wrong to keep her like this?"

"He is Xuan Yunqi," Long Si said flatly.

"Xuan Yunqi?" Li Qing was startled, how could this dignified prince of Xuan Kingdom be in the sedan chair where he was married to Mota.After thinking about it, it's not been a year or two since Long Si wanted to conquer Xuanguo, and he understood Long Si's thoughts in an instant.Nodding: "Yes, I'll go right away"

Long Sidao: "Go and see for yourself and pick out some suitable ones. Also make up a suitable identity for him."

"I understand." Li Qing nodded and backed out.
