Chapter 28

Outside the Zhaoqian hall, on the marble steps on both sides, there were a row of palace maids and eunuchs. The maids stood with lanterns in their hands. The eunuchs, with whisks in their hands, half bent respectfully, stood aside.

Under the nine steps outside the hall, there are the official ranks on both sides, orderly arranged with the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty. There are generals on the right and civil servants on the left. Then nine steps down, on each side, stood a row of bodyguards with sharp weapons on their backs. At the bottom of the 21 steps, on the open ground, there are the honor guards sent by the state of Shang and Xia to meet Murong Zhining.

Yanfeng and Murong Zhining walk out of zhaogan hall together. Murong Zhining's delicate hands are lightly placed in the palm of Yanfeng. Behind them, two maids hold two huge palace fans of pheasant feather.

Yanfeng is wearing a sky crown and a crimson Dragon Robe. He wants to send Murong Zhining away through the most solemn ceremony. This proves the position of Murong Zhining in his mind.

Murong Zhining wears a phoenix crown on her head. She brushes her eyebrows gently. Her lips are crimson and her forehead is decorated with bright red rouge. She was embroidered with gold thread on her bright yellow large sleeve light silk palace robe. A skirt with a hundred flowers is tied on her waist with a jeweled horn belt, which makes her slender waist not full of grip.

Everyone looked at this scene and fell into the illusion of coming to the wedding ceremony.

Yanfeng helps Murong Zhining out of the hall. According to the rules, he can only send her here. Murong Zhining turns to Yanfeng, hands folded over his shoulders, and bows his head to Yanfeng to say goodbye. Yan Feng nods back and stands outside the hall, looking at her back with deep eyes.

Murong Zhining in the eyes of Yanfeng, slowly down the nine steps. She clasped her hands in front of her body. At the end of the bright yellow gossamer robe, it was long and winding on the steps, making her look unreal and ethereal, as if she came from the fairyland.

Chiyun Yuexuan stands in front of the general team on the right side of the steps. He looks at Murong Zhining who is floating down, and the trend of thought turns. He finally understood why Murong Zhining was so proud and never gave in to him. That is her own inherent King temperament, and will not be reduced because of the change of identity.

Chiyun Yuexuan suddenly realized sadly that he had never won the battle. Murong Zhining has been looking down on him haughtily, her cloud light, let him feel a kind of contempt. All kinds of humiliation and torture he imposed on Murong Zhining are just a way to cover up his frustration.

Chiyun Yuexuan has some hope that Murong Zhining will turn her eyes to look at him at this time, which will reduce his pride in the heart, some sense of loss.

Murong Zhining does not look askance. She moves lotus step like Lingbo fairy. The white skin of her front, shining pearl color in the sun. In her delicate clavicle, a green verdant leaf attracted the eyes of the clouds. The phoenix tree leaves are green and transparent, and the glowing soft light is just the red silk rope that is linked with the leaves of the phoenix tree. It seems that after a long time of grinding, it is somewhat worn out and misfits with the crystal clear blue leaves.

Chiyun Yuexuan's hand was involuntarily clenched. There were sweat beads in his palm. Murong Zhining swayed from his side, proud as before. She didn't look at him like chiyun Yuexuan hoped. She still looked at him like a passer-by.

Chiyun Yuexuan's complex and resentful eyes fall behind Murong Zhining who has passed by by by mistake. Murong Zhining ears after a small cinnabar mole, stabbing his eyes.

Chiyun Yuexuan's mind was in a mess. His feet were floating and his body could not help tilting down. He looked at the back of Murong Zhining, who was walking far away, and shouted uncontrollably: "little kitten."

Murong Zhining stops. She stood there without looking back. She raised her hand to her chest gracefully, pulling down the Indus leaf and putting it on the pillar of jade white beside her. She didn't stop. She walked slowly down the steps, calm and calm. No one knows what happened and no one can see her face.

Yan Feng had a panoramic view of this scene from a high place, and suddenly he understood that heaven had made a big joke with the three of them. He rushed down the steps to chiyunyuexuan and punched him heavily in the face regardless of dignity.

shouted at the clouds for a moment, and went over to pick up the Indus leaf and hold it tightly in his palm.

The ambassador of Shang and Xia under the steps, together with his palace maids, knelt down to Murong Zhining and saluted her and helped her to a carriage driven by eight horses. The carriage's trunk is wide, the body is carved with dragons and Phoenix, and there is a circle of tassels hanging on the top, like a small palace.

The carriage drove slowly away from the palace and disappeared in the sight of the people. Yanfeng and chiyunyuexuan have been looking at the direction of the disappearance of the carriage, as if they have lost something.

After all the civil and military officials were gone, Yanfeng and chiyunyuexuan did not leave. They sat on the steps on both sides of his highness, thinking.

Yan Feng's memory rolled in his mind: when he was 12 years old, one day chiyun Ping and chiyun Yuexuan came to the palace to play with him. With the help of eunuch, the two boys jumped over the palace wall. The outside world has a great attraction to Yanfeng. Chiyunyuexuan is also happy to have someone play with him.

They stole a horse from chiyunnan and rode out of the city. Two teenagers ride on horseback one before and one after another, enjoying the speed of driving the wind, shouting all the way, walking through the fields. They didn't notice that the two men were riding towards them.Yan Feng and chiyun Yuexuan realized that the danger was coming. They jumped off their horses and hid in the waist deep weeds. The two riders came slowly in their direction, speaking clearly and audibly: "look carefully, don't let them run away."

Yanfeng and chiyunyuexuan turn over and roll into the ditch under them. A sound of "knowing the rope" is heard above their heads.

A shrill voice asked, "there are two children. Which one did the elder brother ask us to catch?" Another answered in a low, hoarse voice, "the spy said, the bigger one is the prince, and we want to catch him." The horse is nearby. It can't run far. Look for it carefully. It's never wrong to take both back. "

The sound of plucking grass gradually went away. Yanfeng and chiyunyuexuan fled in the opposite direction. The sound of their moving alerted the two thieves, who turned to chase them.

Chiyun Yuexuan whispered anxiously, "I will lead them away. You can find someone to help." Yan Feng's voice was determined: "no, run together." Chiyun Yuexuan pushes Yanfeng: "if you want to be captured, my father must kill me.". Besides, if they catch the wrong person, they will soon let me go. "

Chiyun Yuexuan pushes down Yan Feng and lowers his head. Yan Feng saw half of the green things like leaves in chiyun Yuexuan's lapel.

Chiyun Yuexuan climbs to a high place and runs outside. He is quickly caught by two thieves. The high thief with a low voice asked viciously, "what about the kid you are with?" Chiyun Yuexuan pretended to be scared and trembled: "you quickly let Xiao Wang go, or my father will not let you go, my father is the emperor." The two thieves exchanged eyes, grabbed him and left.

Chiyun Yuexuan is also recalling what happened in that year. He was blindfolded with black cloth by the tall thief, and put it on the horse's back. Then the man turned over and mounted the horse, and took him to run away. The horse ran for a long time and stopped. Someone carried him on his shoulder and walked a long way. According to his judgment, he should have walked a long mountain road. Finally, he was thrown into a room.

Chiyun Yuexuan slowly grinds the cloth covering his face with his head on the ground to see clearly that this is a wood room. There was a mess of firewood and hay in the house. After a while, the tall thief entered the house again, pushed him to the ground, and tied his hands back to a post. The thief fiercely threatened him with a low and dumb voice: "I will be honest with you. If you want to escape, I will kill you."

Chiyun Yuexuan was locked up all day and night. No one came to give him a drink. He was hungry and thirsty.

The door of the wood room opened a crack with a squeak. A small head with two small buns and plush hair stretched out to look inside the wood room, and immediately retracted. Chiyun Yuexuan didn't see clearly and asked in fear, "who is there?" The little head stretched out again. It was a four or five-year-old girl with a dirty face covered with pot smoke.

Chiu Yun Yuexuan asked softly, "Hello, can you let me go?" The little girl didn't speak, she shrank her head back in fear, and the door closed again with a squeak.

Chiyun Yuexuan struggles desperately, the rope on his body tightly binds him, without any looseness.

There was a sound at the door of the Chai room again. The door was gently pushed open. The little girl flashed into the Chai room, looked out of the door, and closed the door gently. She went to chiyunyuexuan and handed a steamed bun to his mouth. Chiyun Yuexuan takes a bite and is hungry. The little girl went to the window, where there was a big water tank. She pushed the cylinder head hard, stood on tiptoe, scooped half a spoon of water from the water tank as high as her, and sent it to chiyun Yuexuan's mouth.

Full of food and drink, chiyun Yuexuan asked the little girl, "is this your family? What did your family arrest me for? " The little girl did not speak, but shook her head and left the woodshed.

The next day, the little girl opened the door again, and he quietly sent half of the pancakes to chiyun Yuexuan. "What's your name?" chiyun Yuexuan asked as she ate the cake she fed to her mouth The little girl shook her head and said, "the mistress won't let me talk to strangers. I heard the dwarf say, "I'll kill you when I get the money." Chiu Yun Yuexuan asked her in a low voice: "then can you let me go?" The little girl looked at him timidly. "Let you go, they will kill me." Chiu Yun Yuexuan said, "I can run with you." The little girl still shook her head: "they will kill my mistress."

Neither of them spoke again. After a while, the little girl seemed to make a big decision: "little brother, I will let you go, I don't want to see you killed by them."

The little girl untied the rope on chiyunyuexuan and crept him to the yard. She pushed away the firewood pile beside the wall, revealing a dog hole, which led to the outside of the yard, and the little girl took him to climb out.

Chiyun Yuexuan ran to the back mountain with the little girl and stopped. The little girl looked up at him: "little brother, run, they are coming back. Don't run on the road, run in the woods. "

Chiyun Yuexuan ran out for a while, but when no one came after him, he stopped. He ran back and squatted on the ground, touching the little girl's small, fluffy head: "my name is chiyun Yuexuan, you will come to Beijing with this to find me later." He took a jade leaf carved from the neck and hung it on the neck of the little girl.

The little girl's voice was very naive: "the name of the little brother is really strange. What do you eat fish And fresh? " She turned to look at the back: "brother fish eat run, someone is coming." Chiyun Yuexuan looked at her gratefully, and just saw a little red mole behind her ear. Chiyun Yuexuan eyes a red: "thank you, kitten." He turned and fled to the woods.The little girl ran in the opposite direction, and led the thief away.
