Chapter 906 Who is Xia Ruxue when the eldest princess returns to the nest
The dignified Princess Daqian, Xia Xiaoman, the golden elixir monk,
But inexplicably, my senior brother's words of "go home" made my nose sore, astringent, and a little touched.
She blinked hard, trying not to shed tears.
But this touching emotion did not last long, but was instantly broken by the captain of the Shenwu Army who was blocking the road:
"Hey! Stupid thief, where does the courage come from! How dare you impersonate the late eldest princess and suffer death!"
As he spoke, the heroic captain of the Shenwu Army couldn't help but make a clanging sound. Before the sound of the sword fell, the sword flashed and he slashed at the horse's head under Yi Lin's butt.
"oh?"
Yi Lin's eyes lit up, this knife was interesting.
The slashing knife was strangely fixed in mid-air, still a few inches away from the panicked horse's head. Yi Lin calmly looked into Xiao Bing's eyes and whispered: "How dare you attack Princess Da Gan?"
"It's a monk!"
The soldier looked at the "immobilized" knife and saw that it could not be pulled out at all. Instead of panicking, he immediately stepped back, pulled out a small dagger from his boot, and held it in front of him.
The movement here made other soldiers responsible for guarding the checkpoint aware of it. They drew their swords at the same time with a clatter, and the swords were frightening, and they surrounded them.
While comforting the horse under her seat, Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. After returning to Qingdu after four years, she did not expect to be surrounded. Her gesture was partly to show off as a princess, and partly to be genuine. Angry: "Humph, when I was a child, I rode on the neck of General Shenwu for fun. Don't be ridiculous. Report it to the superiors immediately. Just say that the eldest princess has returned to Qingdu and ordered people to come and greet her immediately!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
At this time, a big man with a beard laughed loudly: "Where did you come from, Fang Ye's loose cultivator, and dared to cause trouble in Qingdu! Who are you pretending to be? How dare you pretend to be the eldest princess! Four years ago, the eldest princess came to While visiting the people in private, he was attacked by bandits and died in a strange place! Who in the world didn't know about this? The eldest princess's memorial tablet is still preserved in the Xia family's imperial tomb! Since the three of them dare to come to Qingdu and pretend to be the eldest princess, Princess, why don’t you just pretend to be the current Holy Emperor and come to see me?”
Although they were full of fighting spirit, no one dared to be careless when facing the monks.
After the laughter of the big man came out, there were eye-catching Shenwu Army soldiers behind him, and they immediately blew their horns and prepared to shake people.
The sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Seeing that they would be surrounded by more and more people, Xia Xiaoman once again looked at Yi Lin for help.
In fact, she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart. Why did she die?
Is it still known to the whole world?
Obviously there was a huge misunderstanding.
Xia Xiaoman didn't take action immediately. She felt that with her senior brother's resourcefulness, he should have a better way to deal with this embarrassing situation.
Unexpectedly,
Yi Lin nuzzled at Senior Brother Jian: "Brother, come with a sword."
"... Who are you going to strike with the sword?"
"Brother, you know me. Junior brother doesn't like killing. I'm talking about the city gate." Yi Lin pointed to the city gate hundreds of meters away: "Come on, open the door."
Xia Xiaoman was stunned.
Jian Nanchun sighed helplessly and slowly raised the Thousand Machine Sword.
While raising it, Brother Jian whispered to himself: "I didn't want to do it, but you... forced me to do it!"
…
…
this day.
Everyone in Qingdou, no matter what they were doing, felt a strong earthquake under their buttocks.
After Jian Nanchun went berserk and slashed a ditch out of the city gate with his sword, not long after, a luxurious carriage rushed out of the city in a hurry.
A fat old man with a red face and silver eyebrows stepped out of the luxurious carriage.
After four years, Xia Xiaoman has grown up, but for the elderly, four years is not a big change. Xia Xiaoman recognized at a glance that the person who came was the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's house.
After looking at it carefully for a moment, the fat butler shouted "God bless Daqian, God bless Daqian, God bless Daqian" with great emotion. He shed a lot of tears and hurriedly welcomed Xia Xiaoman and the others into the city.
What the fat butler said seemed to work, and the few people in the Shenwu Army blocking the way were dumbfounded.
Especially the one who took action at the beginning was breaking out in cold sweat.
Is this kid really the eldest princess who had been chopped into pieces of unrecognizable flesh by bandits?
Did he actually attack the eldest princess just now?
…
The Shenwu Army opened the way ahead, and on both sides of the street, the people of Qingdu were whispering.
The three of them rode horses and swaggered through the middle of the deserted road, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.
"Your Highness the Princess, Your Majesty the Prime Minister has learned that Your Highness the Princess survived the catastrophe, and is currently waiting for the eldest princess in front of the palace."
The fat old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took the initiative to lead the eldest princess's horse, chattering all the way.
He kept talking about it, just talking about polite things like how after the eldest princess "died", everyone in the court was heartbroken and burst into tears.
"Okay, Forbes."
Even though he knew clearly that what the other party was saying was just for the occasion, Xia Xiaoman still nodded helplessly without making any mistakes. He straightened his back and extended his eyes forward, staring at the splendid Xia family palace at the end of the straight road.
"Qingdu, I'm back."
Xia Xiaoman thought silently in his heart.
Behind her, Senior Brother Lin was wearing a green shirt and a white horse, shaking the reins with his hands, feeling particularly comfortable. He asked, "By the way, if I remember correctly, Ping'an Temple should be in the XC area, right?"
Xia Xiaoman turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, it was four years ago when I said goodbye to Brother Little Tiger. I wonder what Brother Little Tiger has become now?"
"I guess it will be like you did back then." Yi Lin nodded.
"ah?"
Yi Lin touched his head and smiled without saying a word.
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing. In an instant, he was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
Senior brother, which pot is this that you don’t want to open?
Does being bald offend you?
Speaking of which, senior brother, you stepped on my princess’s hair back then!
When Xia Xiaoman was sulking,
Yi Lin looked at everything around him.
Qingdu deserves to be an ancient capital with hundreds of years of history.
Old and new houses are scattered in a well-proportioned pattern, with ancient bluestone roads interspersing them.
The vicissitudes of history that come through the city from time to time make Yilin feel like she is walking in the gaps of history.
Xia Xiaoman's return in such a high-profile way shocked the whole city.
Of course, not everyone knows that the mysterious person who can use the Shenwu Army to clear the way and return in such a battle is the eldest princess who died in the past. The common people only know which big shot it is that can get such treatment.
But those who should know, must know.
Inadvertently, Yi Lin passed by a seven-story tower with a plaque in front of the door that read "Wanxiang Tower".
But the scene where Wanxiang Tower is usually crowded with customers is no longer the same as before. There is a yellow seal in front of the door, and it is deserted.
Judging from the condition of the seal, it seems that it has been there for some time.
Yi Lin frowned and vaguely guessed the reason, but didn't ask any more questions.
…
Both sides of the main road were crowded with people.
It seemed like the whole city came to watch and eat the melon.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the palace.
The palace is worthy of being a palace. It is much more impressive than the Zhennan Palace in Jingnancheng. At a glance, the roofs with red walls and yellow tiles are arranged in rows and layers. From Yilin's perspective, the roofs extend deep into the palace. There is no end in sight. Birds of all colors nestle in the corner of the eaves in rows, in groups of twos and threes, with their wings touching each other to keep warm.
Just as the fat butler said, the right prime minister in charge of internal affairs is already waiting in front of the palace gate.
The Prime Minister You was wearing neat official uniforms, an exquisite melon-skin hat, and a mustache, giving people a shrewd and capable look. The Prime Minister You studied Xia Xiaoman's appearance from a distance until the fat butler led the horse ten meters away When he was outside, he was surprised and delighted to greet him.
"It is indeed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
Prime Minister Right finally recognized Xia Xiaoman. After all, after four years, Xia Xiaoman has changed a lot in appearance and temperament compared to her four years ago. It's not easy to recognize.
In the palace.
Even the lowest-ranking palace maids wear thick coats and light makeup. Compared with the outside, they are more calm and calm. The atmosphere in the palace seems to be two different worlds from the outside world. Even though the war is raging outside, It's like it can't be burned here.
What surprised Xia Xiaoman the most was that the "Yingxue Pavilion" where she lived back then was still well preserved under the decree of Emperor Ji Sheng. Every beginning of the month, there was even a dedicated person responsible for cleaning it. When Yi Lin and the other two stepped into the Yingxue Pavilion, When I stayed at the Snow Pavilion, the place was not covered with dust due to being uninhabited for a long time. On the contrary, it was spotless in many sanitary blind spots. There was also a delicate fragrance of flowers wafting out of the yard. It was a "package move-in" and the service was in place.
"Your brother is very kind to you. Even if you die, he will help you keep the house."
Yi Lin sighed.
"Nonsense, that's my princess's biological brother!" Xia Xiaoman's tone became inadvertently arrogant as soon as she regained her identity as the eldest princess. In the past, she followed Yi Lin and shouted "senior brother, senior brother", but now she dares to call herself "This princess".
Yi Lin noticed the name of this side hall, which inadvertently brought back Yi Lin's memories. He couldn't help but ask: "Yingxue Pavilion? Who named it?"
"It's my mother," Xia Xiaoman mentioned his late mother, his eyes dimmed slightly, but his expression didn't change much, and he said, "My mother's favorite thing back then was snow. She always liked to sit on it every snowy day. In the courtyard, under the pavilion, make a pot of scented tea and quietly admire the snow scene in the palace. She always said that people in the world always think that snow is as desolate as snow, but no one appreciates it. The calmness and purity of snow are also its preciousness."
What a lonely woman moaning without any illness...
Yi Lin had something in her heart, but she couldn't express it easily, so she could only complain a few words and pretend that she didn't hear it.
"Xue... let's not mention your mother for now. Are you sure... among your brothers, sisters, or relatives, in short, there is really no one named 'Xia Ruxue' among those named Xia?"
Yi Lin thought of this again.
He always felt that there were some things that were not coincidences.
"Senior brother, who is the Xia Ruxue you are talking about?"
Four years ago, Xia Xiaoman had heard this name from Yi Lin. It was nothing at that time, but today, four years later, when he heard Yi Lin mention it again, Xia Xiaoman couldn't explain why, and he always felt a little knotty in his heart. , which made her chest feel uncomfortable.
"What about in the family tree? The ones on your family's tombstones are included, are they present or not?"
Yi Lin asked reluctantly. He still didn't believe it. It was really such a coincidence. Or did he live in a different era?
"No! If I say no, I mean no! Who is she?"
Junior sister's tone sounded like she was losing her temper, but this made no sense.
"Uh..." Seeing Xia Xiaoman glaring at her with a sullen face, Yi Lin thought for a while and could only explain: "A magic stick once told me that I was destined to be with someone.
The woman named 'Xia Ruxue' has a spectacular marriage and will give birth to a daughter. Although, I don't know where this daughter came from."
