The princess ran away again

The tomb is located on Wanglongpo in the west of the city, surrounded by mountains and water. It is a place with excellent Fengshui. I heard that the branch of the dragon vein passes here. Standing here and looking far away, you can see the dragon-like cloud floating on the mountain.At present, the emperor didn't care about this point, this piece of land was originally awarded to the general's mansion by him.Chu Zhao wanted to go with the two elder brothers, but it happened that they were both away, so he had to come here alone on horseback.Carrying a jar of Qingming wine, she sat in front of the tomb and babbled for a while. After a while, the smile gradually disappeared on her face. She wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, and stared down at the words on the tombstone.

It's only been a year, it seems like a lifetime away.

"This marriage can't be postponed. Mother, you know very well that the General's Mansion is unlikely to escape from this changing political situation. One wrong step may lead to countless bitter consequences." Chu Zhao sighed. With a sigh of relief, she stood up with her sleepy drunk eyes squinted, and when she turned her head, she happened to see a few figures flashing by.There are very few people coming and going in this place, except for those sent by the government to guard the tomb, who else would there be?

Chu Zhao frowned, she swayed and pretended to leave this place.After walking for a while, I estimated the time and turned back again.This look really made her discover a little clue.About four or five young men with knives stood by, and in front of the mother's tomb stood a woman in black and gold luxurious clothes.Her health is probably not very good, and the suppressed cough can be heard from a distance.Mother has no relatives or friends in the capital, besides their own family, who else will come to pay respects?Chu Zhao was thinking about something in his heart, and the footsteps couldn't help stepping forward.The fallen leaves and dead branches made small movements under the feet, and the guards standing beside them were shocked immediately, and shouted: "Who!"

Now that he was discovered, he had no choice but to come out.Besides, this is in front of her mother's tomb, so it shouldn't be her, right?Chu Zhao hooked his lips, looked at the figure blocked by the guards, and snorted softly: "I should ask you this question? What are you doing in front of my mother's tomb? Is that lady my mother?" Mother's old acquaintance?" Chu Zhao spoke to the woman hiding behind the guard.She weighed her chances of winning, and finally gave up after thinking for a while.

The woman covered her lips, coughing lightly and scattered in the wind.She didn't even look at Chu Zhao, she just lowered her voice and said, "Let's go." Immediately, two people stood behind her with their knives closed, guarding her to leave the place.The remaining three people straddled their swords and stared at Chu Zhao vigilantly all the time. After the woman walked away, they suddenly put away their swords and chased after the person who left.

Who is the one?Questions linger in my mind and never go away.Chu Zhao had no intention of catching up with the woman, fearing that the guards would not let her approach.And the person who seemed to be familiar with her mother was not very willing to see her.I went back to the mansion and asked my father, but I'm afraid there was no result.Chu Zhao shook his head, and sighed again at the lonely tombstone.

People in the capital came and went, bustling, Chu Zhao's internal injuries were not fully healed, and he planned to return directly to the General's Mansion, but saw a few familiar faces in front of the Baiyu Tower.Turning his foot, he immediately turned into the building.

"Our Chu San, oh no, it's the Marquis of Yunyang who finally came back safely, why don't you have to have a drink?" Your son patted Chu Zhao's shoulder, and she avoided it without a trace.The rest of the playboys smiled and nodded in agreement, and even brought a parrot who didn't know who brought it, and kept repeating "have a drink" and "have a drink".

"I heard from your elder brother that you are injured, so you can't drink alcohol?" The one who spoke was Pei Zijin, the son of the Pei family. He usually stayed with Chu Zhao, saying that he was a dandy, or that he was like his father. Neither is a pillar of talent.The Pei family and the Chu family have the same eight surnames, and they have not little contact on weekdays.The son of the Pei family, Pei Zijin, admired Chu Zhao very much, but before he went to propose marriage, he was woken up by a basin of ice water.Chu Zhao is the future third son-in-law, how can there be a seat beside him?

"Zijin, you are really careful. You can't smell the alcohol on Ah Zhao's body? She has already drank a lot by herself. If there is any serious problem, will she abuse her body like this?" Sitting on Pei Zijin's body A young man next to him blinked at him, and said with a narrow smile, "You really look like an old woman, nagging all day long, no wonder Azhao doesn't like to be with you." These blunt words made Pei Zijin's complexion turn pale. white.Among the people who played with him, he was indeed not the closest person to Chu Zhao.

"It's okay to have a few drinks." Chu Zhao smiled slightly, picked up the white jade cup on the table, poured out a toast to everyone, raised his head and drank it all, without changing his expression.

"Come, come, I heard that you were with Princess Zhaoyang some time ago, come and talk to us, how about Princess Zhaoyang, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Beijing?"

"You have only had a few glasses of wine, and you talk so presumptuously? Is that Tianyan you can covet? The choice of son-in-law has already been decided." The wine glasses were neatly arranged, and he glanced at Chu Zhao again, which was very meaningful.

"Speaking of the princess, won't Zijin say a few words?" The eldest princess' son-in-law is Wulang Pei Xuanwen from the Pei family. According to his seniority, Pei Zijin has to call Pei Xuanwen "fifth uncle".His fifth uncle is as old as him, but now he is already like a withered tree, and it is secretly rumored that he was tortured by Princess Yonghe.

Most of these dandies are descendants of heroic officials. They are used to being arrogant and pampered on weekdays, and they don't have any scruples when they speak.In addition, today's son is sage, and he will not cause disasters because of his words.Smiling secretly in his heart, Chu Zhao took another sip of sorghum wine, and said with a tusk, "Aren't you afraid that the walls have ears? You can eat the good fruit of making up today's princess so presumptuously."

Mr. Jinyi obviously didn't want to let Chu Zhao go on this topic, and said, "Azhao, you haven't answered my previous question yet."

"Beauty is beauty—" Chu Zhao said half a sentence, but he couldn't say the rest of the words anyway.Gold and jade outside, and ruins inside?This is obviously not suitable to describe Princess Zhaoyang.Her temperament and talent, as well as her royal demeanor, are all inherited from Empress Changsun, and she is almost beyond reproach.If it is said that she is arrogant and arrogant, it has nothing to do with her.The scene of her crying and taking medicine for herself in the thatched hut came to mind, and Chu Zhao seemed to be stabbed in the heart.She covered her lips and coughed lightly, "If there is a chance, I will see you in the future, so why should I say more? Besides, people have thousands of faces, what I see may not be true."

"Are you saying that Princess Zhaoyang is duplicity?"

"This--"

"So Miss Chu thinks of Princess Zhaoyang that way?"

Just as Chu Zhao wanted to deny it, he heard another voice from behind.When she turned her head, she saw a table behind the pillar, where Ning Yuyao and Qing Yi were sitting.His right hand shook, and most of the wine in the glass spilled on his sleeve.Chu Zhao was flustered for a moment, but he calmed down after a while, bowed his hands at those dandies, and walked slowly towards Ning Yuyao.Is this His Highness addicted to going out of the palace?Only two or three days?Why did we meet again?

Ning Yuyao has been in the palace all year round, so it is naturally not easy to be recognized by others, but after Chu Zhao knew her identity, he did not dare to let her show her face in the White Jade Tower.He ordered Xiao Er to clear out a pavilion surrounded by windows, and then led the people to the top.

It was the middle of April, the catkins were flying like snow rolling flowers, the green smoke was faint, and the mountains were far away.The No.1 Pagoda and Qujiang in Beijing all fell into his eyes, but Chu Zhao was not interested in admiring it for a while, but waited anxiously for Princess Zhaoyang's question.

"Is this body injury healed? Drinking alcohol is not afraid of the root cause of the disease?" Ning Yuyao looked at Chu Zhao's face, hiding her true emotions.As soon as this Chu Zhao left the palace, she felt uncomfortable, and even dreamed that she looked like her in the middle of the night, and she didn't know what kind of demon she was, but this one was lucky, taking advantage of the young man with fresh clothes and angry horses, chatting with others, drinking wine Xiang Zuo, I feel so uncomfortable.Arranging the affairs of the inner court, talking eloquently and eloquently far surpasses ordinary literati and scholars, he really deserves to be Chu Zhao.

When Ning Yuyao asked, Chu Zhao's mood immediately relaxed. She looked back at Ning Yuyao, as if she was in the thatched hut in Gejia Village, and responded quite briskly: "I practiced martial arts at a young age, and my body is still intact." It's not so weak, so it's not a problem to drink some wine."

"It's more convenient for you to tell the truth after drinking, isn't it?" Ning Yuyao sneered, "Tell me, what's behind the beautiful is beautiful, and it's nothing to hide it."

Chu Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and after a long while he squeezed out a smile and said, "Beauty is beauty, but it's not perfect. It's not that you are bad, princess. There is no perfect person in this world."

"You really know how to argue." How could Ning Yuyao believe Chu Zhao's words, she frowned and walked around behind Chu Zhao, and pressed her delicate hands on her shoulders.Chu Zhao didn't dare to freeze his body, just sat down following Ning Yuyao's movements, turned his head, and looked at her with a bewildered expression.

Chu Zhao's eyes were always shining, and after drinking, they looked more like autumn rivers and mist, which was exciting.Ning Yuyao was confused by her eyes, her heart suddenly softened, she softened her voice, and asked in a low voice with concern: "How is the scar on your back? Have you taken any medicine?"

Where does Chu Zhao remember such things?The wound on the back has healed. As for the scar, what's important if it can be removed?The bottle of jade ointment that Ning Yuyao gave her had long been thrown aside by her.Now when she suddenly heard her question, Chu Zhao was embarrassed to say it directly, pursed his lips, and said perfunctoryly after a while: "Take the medicine, it's fine, don't worry about it."

When Ning Yuyao heard this, she glanced at her suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "Let me see." As soon as the words fell, Ning Yuyao grabbed Chu Zhao's collar and pulled it aside vigorously.
