"Then His Highness has really returned home. Old Chang'an has not changed much, but people have moved to the new city, so the old city has become more and more desolate..."
The team moved forward slowly, and Changsun Wuji became the tour guide again. The closer he got to the capital, the clearer his mind seemed to be, and he also made some preliminary plans for his future career.
Unlike when I went to Liangzhou before, my mind was full of lawsuits, I couldn't do anything, and I couldn't arouse any interest.
He himself also vaguely felt that the capital city seemed to have a kind of magical power. After leaving here for half a year, he seemed to have become completely out of his mind. Although he left Chang'an, his heart still stayed here.
"The seat of Jingzhaoyin is here. The one who serves in Jingzhaoyin is your Majesty's brother-in-law. Yunnei County was the official of Lang Yuan Dynasty. Duke Yuan has been by your Majesty's side since he was a child. He is a brother-in-law with Your Majesty. Your Highness must not be rude when meeting him.
.”
Yuwen Yubo listened to him and asked: "People from the Yuan clan..."
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said with a smile: "Yuan Lingyin's father married the daughter of Miyuan Chen, who was the sister of Jin's wife Chen, the wife of the British Duke Li.
Their branch probably has nothing to do with the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but now they are a rather prominent branch among the relatives, and both Your Majesty and the Queen value them very much."
Yuwen Yubo immediately understood that the Yuwen family also had many branches, many of which originated from the fact that the Xianbei tribes changed their surnames to Han surnames, especially during the reign of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, who promoted the return of Han rituals.
As a result, many Xianbei surnames left over from the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty died out. As a result, Xianbei surnames such as the Yuwen family and the Yuan family were scattered among their subordinates, and gradually lost their special status and were ranked alongside other clans in the world.
Once this downhill road starts, it is difficult to see the end. In fact, by the early Tang Dynasty, they had lost their aura as a top family, and were much inferior to the Xiao family, Chen family and other families with long-standing Han surnames.
Yuwen Yubo looked at Han Chang'an in the distance and said abruptly, "Do you think it would be better if I changed my surname to Li and went to see the emperor?"
Changsun Wuji's face twitched a few times, thinking to himself, do you really dare to say that you, a woman, can change your surname?
However, he had become accustomed to hearing Yuwen Yubo's "crazy words" along the way. This woman had an idea every now and then, which sounded very deviant. She was worthy of being a relative of the former dynasty. She didn't need to put on airs at all, as if she was born to be here.
There, no one else can learn from it.
Changsun Wuji smiled with difficulty, "Your Majesty, it is better to be cautious... You can talk about old things when you meet me, and you don't have to be too taboo. Your Majesty never likes ruthless people."
Yuwen Yubo didn't care about the hidden meaning in the other person's words. He smoothed his messy hair and laughed like a man, "Looking at you, I know that the emperor is very majestic.
I met Emperor Wen once when I was a child, but I can’t remember it clearly. Do you think there is any difference between His Majesty and Emperor Wen today?"
Changsun Wuji quickly shook his head, "Your Highness asked the wrong person. I have never met Emperor Wen before... Your Majesty admires Emperor Wen very much. Maybe it's because they have the same talents and strategies, so that's why?"
Yuwen Yubo: "This makes sense. Emperor Wen would also admire Emperor Wu very much. They are both heroes, so they naturally respect each other."
This was said with great courage, but Changsun Wuji did not continue it. His father died early, and unlike Xu Jingzong who knew the inside story of the previous dynasty, he did not know that Emperor Wen Yang Jian was the great-grandfather of the Queen of Gaochang in front of him.
Therefore, he felt that it was very inappropriate for Yuwen Yubo to comment so unscrupulously on the emperor.
…………
On the outskirts of Xicheng in Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, someone was already waiting for him by the roadside.
The leader was naturally Yin Yuanlang of Jingzhao. Standing next to him was King Li Yuan of Qin. The uncle and nephew were very relaxed, talking and laughing. Li Zirou, who came with them to welcome them, could not get in the middle of the conversation at all.
This is obviously beyond the specifications for a little queen.
The reason for this is not only that Yuwen Yubo has the identity of the former Princess Huarong, but also that Li Yuan has nothing to do and wants to join in the fun.
Two days ago, Queen Li Bi inspected the Prince of Qin's Mansion, found some minor mistakes and kicked him in the feet. Li Yuan expressed that he was very depressed, so he put aside his studies and went to the old city of Chang'an for an internship.
Naughty children who have left home all look like this. There are many places they can go. If you want to strictly control them, it is not as easy as before.
When the team came closer, Changsun Wuji did not dare to be lazy and dismounted first. However, he saw King Qin Li Yuan at a glance. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately whispered in a low voice: "Your Highness, King Qin is here to greet you. Hurry up and pay tribute."
Yuwen Yubo was stunned, King Qin...the son of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty?
She is not a fool, she just comes from a very noble family and behaves in an obvious Xianbei aristocratic style. In the eyes of others, she seems to be quite reckless.
Twenty years have passed, and the customs of the Central Plains are very different from those of the late Sui Dynasty. The etiquette of the Han people is rapidly returning, which highlights that her style is out of date.
However, when she met someone with a more prominent status, her behavior immediately returned to the right track, because those people she met before were all "subordinates" in her eyes and were not worthy of her courtesy.
I saw her quickly adjusting her robe, patting the dust on her body a few times, and tying her hair back vigorously. Then she took a few steps in a hurry, patted her chest twice, and shook it.
Sleeves, he fell to the ground from a distance.
Standard pre-Sui royal etiquette...
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is here. Yuwen Yubo comes to see His Highness the King of Qin and welcomes you from afar. This is Yubo's crime."
The people who greeted him immediately moved aside, leaving only Li Yuan in the middle. Li Yuan blinked a few times, feeling that this was very inappropriate, and thought to himself, wasn't he talking about the princess of the previous dynasty? How could he be so ignorant of the rules?
Would you like to see me with such a great gift?
If my mother-in-law finds out about this, why don't you beat me to death?
He just had to keep his airs tight, the rest was a matter of the future. He couldn't be rude in public. This was one of the most important instructions from his teachers who taught him etiquette.
So Li Yuan tensed up his face, walked forward slowly, bent down to help him, and said with a smile: "You have come a long way, and you are a guest of the Tang Dynasty. Please get up quickly. In the future, in addition to meeting the driver,
, but don’t do this, otherwise when others see me, they will accuse me of not treating my guests well in the Tang Dynasty.”
The ten-year-old boy was already decent in both words and deeds. While observing etiquette, he also told everyone present that it was not my fault, it was her who didn't understand the rules. If anyone goes out and talks nonsense, don't blame me.
You're welcome.
Yuwen Yubo stood up and taller, and the young prince's height was only between her waist and abdomen...
