Shadow Guard Capture Manual

Chaozhou is close to the south of the Yangtze River, and its temperature is higher than that of the capital city. Now it is only March, and the peach blossoms have spit out a little bit of red pistil, which is dotted with new leaves and looks extremely delicate and beautiful. The surrounding people who just returned home The birds chirped and jumped up and down on the ground, diligently looking for suitable dead branches and grass roots, ready to take them back and build a new nest.

This huge Qiaoying Lake is very famous throughout Chaozhou. The beautiful embankment on it is the favorite place for beauties and scholars. For thousands of years, how many romantic stories have been born in this beautiful place like a fairyland. The love story has witnessed how many young lovers swore to each other.

Zhao Ruhui has been rushing all the way, but when he arrived in Chaozhou, he changed from his anxiety when he came here, and rented a painting boat beside the river bank.Sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset, Zhao Ruhui stayed here for three whole days, and many times he would stand alone on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, standing for a whole day.

Even though the other hidden guards didn't know why Zhao Ruhui had such an abnormal appearance, An Yi, who had been by Zhao Ruhui's side since he was young, had a vague guess—this is Chaozhou, and it was rewarded by the eldest princess after her majesty ascended the throne manor.Chaozhou is a rich and prosperous place. It stands to reason that it is an extremely honorable thing to grant such an important and rich land as a fief. However, after that, the eldest princess never took a step outside Chaozhou, and Zhao Ruhui never mentioned it again. Anything related to Chaozhou.They are obviously brothers and sisters of the same mother, but it is as if they have cut off all blood ties, and have not had any contact since then.

An Yi didn't know why Zhao Ruhui suddenly thought of coming to Chaozhou secretly, but he didn't dare to speak lightly, so he squatted silently beside the railing of the painting boat.

The temperature at night is cold, and it seems that it is almost the third watch. Zhao Ruhui spent a lot of time in a daze by the river today. An Yi looked at him with some anxiety, wondering if he should persuade him to rest earlier, but he still In the struggle, Zhao Ruhui suddenly opened his mouth, with a little emotion and nostalgia in his tone, "Since you are the leader of the dark pavilion, you should know more than others, so do you know that the silence in the palace back then Princess Yi?"

"Princess Jingyi...?" An Yi was stunned for a moment, slightly startled, "Isn't this the title of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess more than ten years ago?"

"Then do you know why the eldest princess changed her title later?"

"16 years ago, the king of Saibei wanted to take the princess of our country. The eldest princess had just reached the age of Ji, so she invited herself to go to the northwest to make a marriage. , and even dedicated the head of King Saibei to the first emperor. At that time, the whole country was shocked, and the first emperor was even more joyful. He not only bestowed the title of His Royal Highness the eldest princess, but also re-given the title of "Hongchu", which means "" No. [-] Eldest Princess of Daqian, since then, the prestige of Her Highness the Eldest Princess has never been known to anyone!" When An An mentioned the great achievements of the Eldest Princess, she was full of sighs, even though five or six years have passed, but As long as they are the people of Dagan, how many people don't feel excited about it! ?

However, Zhao Ruhui smiled mockingly when he heard his words. His eyes were slightly cold, and he let out a long sigh. After that, he said softly, "You are basically right. The title of Princess Jingyi was bestowed by the emperor after my elder sister asked me to get married."

A princess who was reluctantly given a title because she was going to marry her... Heh.

An Yi was still slightly stunned, and didn't understand the meaning of what he said, but Zhao Ruhui didn't mention the past anymore, he just slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the crescent moon hanging high above the sky, and gave orders to An Yi One sentence.

"Have someone charter all the boats here overnight, and then go buy all the best Hongjuan in the city, hang them on the boats, and invite a group of singers and luthiers to wish His Royal Highness the birthday of the eldest princess. You will take me from the capital again. Send the wooden box that you brought over to the eldest princess's mansion, and you must confirm that it is delivered to the eldest princess."

An Yi's face was full of astonishment, "But the eldest princess doesn't..."

"Just do what I say."

On the second day, the whole of Chaozhou was stunned by the magnificent beauty of Qiaoying Lake. The exquisite and gorgeous painting boats were swaying on the lake, and the beauties dancing in the center of the painting boats were covered by hazy and soft red gauze. Looming below, the sound of orchestras and bamboo strings around the entire lake is like a fairy sound, which is endless!

The entire Chaozhou people were immersed in the handiwork of such high-profile tycoons for a moment, and almost all of them rushed towards the Qiaoying Lake.

With such a big commotion, it is naturally impossible for the Princess's Mansion not to receive even the slightest news. However, when the stewards in the mansion inquired, they all laughed. "I don't know where the local rich man came from. He just wants to please you with a few foolish money, but he doesn't even know when your real birthday is."

The city guard general who came to visit suddenly smiled when he heard this topic, "Don't tell me, I took a look at it when I came to the mansion today. The scene is really not small! It seems that a lot of thought has been wasted. Logically speaking, it would not be possible to make such a mistake, and I don’t know what happened.”

Someone next to him waved his hand indifferently, "I'm afraid I was tricked by someone, so I cheated with fake news. After all, the eldest princess is only used to having a small gathering with her son-in-law when she celebrates her birthday."

They whispered in twos and threes, with a bit of amused expression on their faces, but they didn't expect that the eldest princess who was sitting quietly drinking tea in the first place paused slightly, and the tea cup was moved away without even touching her lips. , a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes raised slightly, but asked, "Is what you said true?"

She is really stunning, her skin is like jade, her eyebrows are slightly hooked, and the three-point peach color merges into a faint red on her face. A little bit of cinnabar depicts her full lips, and her pair of phoenix eyes are slightly raised, straight and sharp. to the heart of man.However, what attracted the most attention was not her beautiful face, but the natural nobility and grace on her body, as well as the majesty and confidence brought by her own strength.

She is not a delicate flower raised in captivity in the garden, she is a peerless woman who brought the whole of Saibei into the territory of Dagan by her own power - the eldest princess Zhao Ruihe.

Staring closely at her pair of phoenix eyes exuding bone-piercing coolness, the people under her who were smiling and drinking tea all froze in an instant, and it took a long time to react, and quickly responded, "There should be nothing wrong , Now Qiaoying Lake has a huge momentum, many people are watching, and the local rich man also clearly said that it is for the eldest princess's birthday, there should be no mistakes."

The subordinates told the eldest princess everything truthfully, including the 47 large and small painting boats contracted by the local rich man, each of which was hung with red silk, and several dancers and luthiers were hired... They finished speaking word by word, Then he asked carefully, "Your Highness, is there... is there something wrong? Shall we call someone over to ask?"

However, this time the eldest princess closed her eyes lightly, her expression was light, "Forget it, it's just a farce, just listen to it, why bother. Well, you all go down for now."

The subordinates all looked at each other in blank dismay, but none of them dared to disobey the order of the eldest princess. They all retreated respectfully. The copy of "The Picture of Jinyu Playing with Lotus" fell into complete silence.

After a while, the door of the palace was knocked again, and the eldest princess ordered coldly, "Don't disturb my highness."

However, the knock on the door paused for three seconds, but the eldest princess heard the sound of pushing the door right after that. She frowned immediately, and just as she turned around to reprimand, she saw a gentle man in fox fur walking slowly. After entering the room, seeing the eldest princess looking at him, he didn't look nervous at all, but smiled softly, "It's windy in the yard, so I just wanted to come in to keep warm, but I didn't expect to disturb Her Highness the eldest princess."

The eyes of the eldest princess melted coldly, seeing the gentle man who pleaded guilty but his expression did not change at all, but a trace of helplessness flashed across her face, and finally she walked slowly to the son-in-law, and tied the fox fur tighter for him again, "Next time the son-in-law wants to find an excuse, he will bother more. It's embarrassing to be neither fish nor fowl."

The son-in-law stretched out his hand from the fox fur, held the eldest princess's hand instead, and smiled at her softly.

The son-in-law has always been the most gentle and considerate, never taking the initiative to ask about other people's private affairs, even though he is the rightful husband of the excellent woman in front of him, he still clearly and strictly observes the most comfortable distance between people, never much Ask any secrets that no one else wants to tell.He came only because he knew that the Eldest Princess must be in complicated mood at the moment, so he stayed by her side tenderly and solved her problems at any time.

The eldest princess looked at this man who had been quietly waiting by her side for unknown ages, after all, she couldn't hide the tiredness and loneliness in her heart.Kou Dan gently caressed the son-in-law's face, and she finally sighed softly, "Do you remember that I told you that you are the only one who knows my real birthday?"

The son-in-law seemed to complain, "I remember, I didn't make it to the first place, and I was jealous for a long time."

This is what the son-in-law deliberately teased her, and the eldest princess finally had a little smile in her eyes, and said softly, "I thought you were going to become the only one, but now it seems that you are still the only one. "

Seeing her like this, the son-in-law's smile became softer, and he kissed her slender and slender fingers lightly, with affection in his eyes.

"Sweet as you like"

"It's just that I don't know what he means by that? Reconciliation? - We all know each other's temper, and no one will admit defeat, and no one will forgive, Queen Mother - after that woman died, I only thought that my whole life I will never meet him again, nor will I have any contact with him, he is the master of his affairs, and I am the eldest princess of Chaozhou, but now, what is it?"

There was a bit of self-mockery in the eldest princess' eyes, her expression was unprecedentedly bitter, and her expression was also extremely dazed, and it was rare for the son-in-law not to speak this time.

While the two were silent, they heard the butler knocking on the door outside, "Your Highness, the rich man personally brought you a gift again. Look, do you want to accept it?" The butler's voice also carried Some hesitation, if it was before, naturally there is no need to ask this question, but it is rare for the eldest princess to be interested in personnel other than the son-in-law and the younger son, so the butler came here.

The eldest princess choked slightly, and when she spoke again, her tone had returned to her original calm and indifferent tone, "Bring it in."

Some were curious, and even came in behind the housekeeper.Seeing this, the eldest princess did not deliberately hide it from the crowd, but after opening the box, the gleaming golden light almost blinded people, and the onlookers couldn't help showing a look of astonishment, but their mouths were wrong. He muttered in a low voice, "Otherwise, it's a stupid rich man. Where can someone give gifts directly to gold bricks?"

After all, the housekeeper who has been with the eldest princess for many years is more able to observe words and expressions. Seeing the expressions of the two masters in the house, he added a little guessing, "Don't look at the gold bars, the three gold-cast villains in the middle are very interesting, as if ..." The housekeeper paused, exclaiming with joy, "It looks like a princess, a son-in-law, and a young prince!"
