proud wife and concubine

At the beginning of the new dynasty, the first field hunt seemed very meaningful, and the scale was unprecedentedly large.Concubines and princesses, princes and grandchildren, local dignitaries, vassals and barbarian rulers all gather together to serve the emperor on their knees, highlighting the supreme dignity of the monarch.

Six flying horses are galloping, with strict guards; ten thousand riding horses are leaping, majestic.

It was the first time for Li Yuyao to see such a big scene, so she was naturally very excited.It's just that after two days, let alone hunting, there are not many opportunities to ride horses. Instead, there are various celebrations and ceremonies one after another.She worshiped the heaven and worshiped the ancestors at the same time, and she was tossing and tossing about wearing headgear and dresses weighing several kilograms, which made her lose her temper.

"Alas." In the spacious and gorgeous carriage, Li Yuyao couldn't help sighing, slightly opened the curtain to take a look, and there was still a long way to go from the palace.

"Is the princess tired, and the servant will beat your shoulders?" Turan who was sitting on the side asked cautiously.

Li Yuyao let out a "hum", but she didn't say yes or no, and Turan didn't dare to do anything.

"Do you know why I brought you out instead of Yun'er?" Li Yuyao asked slowly after taking a sip of tea.

Turan lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, shaking his head.Li Yuyao had been cold-faced towards her for many days, and only recently was she willing to say a few words to her. It would be bad if she made Li Yuyao unhappy by talking too much.

"Because Yun'er is too ignorant, I'm afraid she will embarrass me in front of my relatives."

Turan nodded, adding tea to Li Yuyao.

"Why are you nodding? I said she is ignorant, but it doesn't mean you are smart. I am the general among dwarves, understand?" Li Yuyao didn't know what kind of mentality she was in, anyway, she just wanted to say something hurtful. .

"Understood... the servant knows." Turan's hand holding the handle of the pot trembled.

Li Yuyao found that she was not very happy seeing the other party hurt and wronged, so she could only "hum" again, ending the process of hurting each other, oh no, she hurt Turan unilaterally.

"Obviously the ceremony was held the day before yesterday to welcome the foreign envoys, so I don't know what to do today?" After a long silence, Li Yuyao couldn't hold back and spoke again.

It's just that this time Turan didn't dare to talk anymore, and only looked at Li Yuyao aggrievedly with those amber eyes.

Li Yuyao curled her lips and said to herself, "When you want to talk, you become dumb again. Why do you talk so much with the women's prison?" Thinking of this, she felt sullen again.

"Maybe you will meet people from Gaoche after a while. How about I let them take you back to Gaoche?" Li Yuyao stared at Turan and asked, trying to read from the expression come up with something.

Turan said tremblingly: "I am the princess's servant, and the princess is of course the master."

"You have a good idea." Li Yuyao sneered, and put the small plate in front of her on the table, and the nuts that Turan had just painstakingly peeled immediately rolled down in all directions with the bumps of the carriage.

"Let's peel it off again." Li Yuyao didn't even know that she could be so mean, but she just wanted to do it.

Turan couldn't shed tears anymore, she just felt at a loss: The princess really hates me, where am I and what do I do, what's the point.

When Li Yuyao arrived at the Qiyun Palace, she was surprised to see no singing, singing and dancing, only the young eunuch Chang Ping was waiting in front of the palace.

"The princess has worked hard, and the servant has been waiting for a long time." Changping saluted and said with a smile.

Although this Chang Ping is young, he does everything without leaking water, and is highly valued. Li Yuyao didn't dare to neglect her, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Li. I don't know...where is Father now?"

"The emperor is at the back of the Yuhua Palace. The princess will walk around this corridor and you will see it." Chang Ping said and pointed to his left.Li Yuyao looked along, only to see the winding corridor hidden in the dense forest of bamboo and cypress, with no end in sight.

"Elder-in-law, don't you want to lead the way?" Li Yuyao was beating her heart, thinking that this was so strange.The imperial father passed on a decree saying that today there will be a banquet in honor of the vassals, why did I not see my sister and brother all the way?This is my first time in this palace, I am not familiar with the place...

"The servant is here to meet the other princes and princesses. Don't worry, the third princess, just walk along the corridor." Chang Ping's tone was submissive, but without any fluctuations.

Li Yuyao had no choice but to comfort herself: In broad daylight, the imperial palace is forbidden and there are guards everywhere, so there is nothing to worry about.

Taking Turan with him, he went to Yuhua Palace by himself.

"This... this corridor is too long!" Li Yuyao was so angry that she vomited blood, and finally walked to the end and turned a corner. Looking farther into the distance, there was another corridor, extending in all directions, without seeing the palace.

"It's still early, this place is very beautiful, the princess walks slowly." Turan couldn't help being relieved.

Li Yuyao rolled her eyes, wondering what kind of medicine her father sells in the gourd, if it is a banquet, wouldn't it be more suitable to be in the Qiyun Palace in front?

"His Royal Highness." A strange and deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind, which made Li Yuyao cry out in fright, and Turan also turned around suddenly, looking at him warily.

"Yes, it's you?" Li Yuyao turned around and recognized the person who came without much effort. It was the second prince Heqi of Xiliao Kingdom whom he met the day before yesterday.In fact, the two hadn't spoken to each other, but Li Yuyao had some impression of Heqi who looked extraordinarily tall and handsome among a group of thick-backed and bearded aliens that day.

"Scared the princess?" Heche pursed his lips, as if smiling.

"Why are you here?" Li Yuyao didn't want to talk much.When she was at Li Yuerong's mansion, she had already heard about this He Qi, until she saw the real person, but after a few eye contact, she knew that the other party was not easy to get along with, especially when she laughed, her eyes were cold, which was very annoying People are disgusted.

He Qi did not answer, but walked straight towards Li Yuyao.

In Li Yuyao's cognition, a foreigner means barbaric and rude, and this man named Heqi acts inexplicably presumptuously.At this moment, there were no maids and guards around, Li Yuyao panicked and grabbed Turan's arm involuntarily.

"When you come to the Central Plains, you must abide by the rules of the Central Plains." Turan also felt a strong sense of oppression from Heqi, but Li Yuyao's feelings were more important to her than this.So, when Heche got closer and closer, without any hesitation, she stretched out her hand to block the other's attempt to get closer.

Heche stopped and glanced at Turan, his iceberg-like expression suddenly cracked.

"The rules of the Central Plains?" He stared straight at Turan and asked.

The disrespectful eyes made Li Yuyao very angry. "Can't you understand the words of the Han people?"

Heche sneered: "Is she Han?"

Li Yuyao was at a loss for words, thinking how dare this person be so presumptuous.

Heqi suddenly murmured something to Turan, but Li Yuyao didn't understand a word.Turan frowned, apparently Herche's words did not please her very much.

Li Yuyao was left alone, and He Qi completely ignored her existence.Heqi spoke very fast, and Li Yuyao couldn't understand his language, so it was impossible to guess whether it was Fanbang who spoke very fast, or Heqi was emotional.

Turan impatiently interrupted Heqi, whose tone was almost questioning: "I am the servant of the princess of the Han Dynasty, and I have no obligation to answer the questions of the Xiliao people."

Only then did Li Yuyao recall that Gaoche's destruction of the country was a gift from Xiliao?Turan still doesn't know that Gao Che has been occupied by Xiliao...

"Your Highness, can you ask your servant to answer my question?" He Qi didn't expect a servant to be so tough, but it was normal for him to think that the other party didn't like the people of Xiliao as he had guessed.

Li Yuyao glanced at the guards who were patrolling here in the distance, thought for a while, and replied, "You have to ask in the Han way."

"Are you from Gaoche? Who are you from Tanalin?" He Qizhen asked in Chinese.

Li Yuyao secretly slandered, this man speaks Chinese better than Turan, why not spend some time learning the etiquette of the Han people.

Turan glanced at Li Yuyao with a slightly wronged expression. Li Yuyao realized that Turan didn't want to answer, so she wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Heqi.

Turan kept silent, and Heche was not in a hurry. He was almost sure that this maid had something to do with Tanarin. "Don't you want to know how Tanarin is doing?" He asked leisurely.

Turan smiled sarcasticly: "What will happen if it falls into your Xiliao hands? Live like a cow, or have you been tortured to death?"

Li Yuyao was used to Turan being gentle and submissive, humble and humble. At this moment, Turan seemed to be a different person, with spikes all over his body, fragile but proud.In fact, Turan was also a noble girl in Gaoche. Li Yuyao thought of Turan's tortuous experience, and began to regret why she didn't treat Turan better.

He Qi froze, and then said coldly: "You guessed right, she is indeed dead."

"Princess." He Qi turned to Li Yuyao, covered his chest with his right hand, bent deeply, and made a very weird and ugly salute in Li Yuyao's eyes.

"Huh?" Li Yuyao was only concerned about Turan, but didn't react for a while.

"Goodbye." Hutch smiled, but the blue eyes were still cold, so that the whole smile looked extremely perfunctory.

Li Yuyao also returned a smiley expression, thinking that if she had something to say, she would just say it, whoever is disgusting.

Hutch walked quickly, and it didn't take long for his back to disappear at the end of the corridor.

"Huh." Li Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really...", Li Yuyao couldn't think of a suitable word for a while, it was very uncomfortable anyway.

"Let's go now. Don't keep father waiting for such a long delay." Li Yuyao turned her head and said to Turan, but she found that Turan was covering her eyes and shaking her body, obviously crying.

"Tu, Turan, what's wrong with you?" Li Yuyao had forgotten that she was still angry with Turan at this moment, and patted Turan's back frantically.

Turan kept shaking his head and said "it's okay", and wiped away tears with his hands in a panic, but his eyes and nose were still red.

"Did you cry because of what Heqi said about Tanarin?" Li Yuyao took Turan's hand and asked softly.Her intuition told her that Turan was particularly in need of comfort right now.

Turan nodded, and told Li Yuyao without any reservation: "Tanalin is my biological mother. My father lost the battle and escaped by himself. She was captured by the Xiliao people. Later, my father was punished by the commander, and I also He was sent to the Han Dynasty, and there is no more news."

Only then did Li Yuyao realize how powerless verbal comfort is in the face of parting.She couldn't think of words that could ease the grief of a child who had lost a mother.She could only hold Turan tightly with open arms and pat her on the back...

Maybe I'm already very happy, Li Yuyao thought, although she always complains about her parents in her heart, they are still by her side no matter what, and they have given her a stable life, even good clothes, good food, prosperity and wealth.
