Li Yueji's mood had improved a little. Perhaps it was because she had too little expectation. Although Guo Shao was a stranger from a different race, she found that the Emperor of Zhou was very young and good-looking, which made Li Yueji feel a little better.
But the attitude of Zhou Guoren made Li Yueji very dissatisfied. This man didn't take her seriously at all. What was the use of him
Lian Mei Zang was also very angry: We gave up the two states of Linfu and the armor because the Emperor of Zhou made the princess one of the four wives, a very respectable status. Now the court despises the princess, what's the point of getting a title
His son Mei Zang Ge was even more furious: "Princess Yueji is like a fairy in our hearts, but she was treated like this by the Zhou people. The Dangxiang people are so embarrassed. They haven't even married Princess Yueji yet, but they are still pretending. How can the princess have a good life in Zhou in the future? It doesn't matter if this marriage fails. We, the Dangxiang men, take up our weapons and decide who wins and who loses.
Mei Zang frowned and said: "It can't be considered as not marrying." The betrothal gifts and dowry are all ready, and the emperor's imperial edict and golden book have been received. It is of great importance to suddenly regret it.
This bullying went too far and Brother Ling was so angry that his arms were shaking.
Mei Zang frowned and said: "Be patient. According to the Zhou people, this matter is not too much. After all, we Dangxiang people are ministers, and they are the kings. The Zhou people have never treated the Dangxiang people as equals.
I think the princess can pretend to be sick and wait for the emperor to send someone to pick her up. Then she can say she is not feeling well and delay the process until the emperor comes to pick her up in person.
Li Yueji listened to what they said and also spoke: "Just listen to Uncle Mo Zang. We Dangxiang people don't marry people with our eyes wide open. It's ridiculous. How can I stand up straight in my husband's family in the future? I don't have anything to do with myself, but I'm afraid of losing face for the Dangxiang people."
After a discussion among the few people, everyone decided to stay in Lingzhou Ritual Hall first.
The next evening, Lingge suddenly asked to see Li Yueji. Li Yueji grew up with him and trusted him very much, so she invited him into the house to ask what was going on.
Brother Ling said in a deep voice: "I found a place in Lingzhou City that was not well guarded yesterday. The wall there was low, and I had ladders and horses ready. Princess, please escape with me tonight."
Li Yueji was startled.
Brother Ling glanced at her and said: The place to climb over the wall is in the East City. We are out of Lingzhou and heading east. As long as we climb over the dilapidated Great Wall, the road back to Xiazhou will be unobstructed.
Li Yueji walked back and forth in the room. Lingge kept persuading her.
Her anger was also aroused: We married them sincerely, and my father and the Tangut nobles did nothing wrong to the Zhou Kingdom; now I have arrived at the Zhou military camp, and they treated me badly. Even if I ran away secretly, I can't blame my father.
After hearing this, Brother Ling was overjoyed: The princess is right
Li Yueji was not an ordinary woman. She dared to do what she said, so she immediately packed some things for the journey and dry food.
At midnight, she followed Lu Ge and quietly sneaked out of the ceremony hall. Lu Ge also carefully covered the hooves of the two horses with linen and tied bamboo strips around the horses' mouths.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving the ceremony hall, a door opposite opened, and under the moonlight, a thin man walked out. Who else could it be but Lu Dosun? Lu Dosun asked in Chinese: It's so late, where are you going
Brother Ling hurriedly helped Li Yueji, and they both climbed onto their horses. Brother Ling said, "Let's go!"
Lu Dosun's voice was loud, and soon the torch in the door was lit. The Han official seemed to be suspicious of the following brother, but he did not expect the two to flee privately, and no one chased them for a while.
There was a lot of noise and shouting from behind. Li Yueji's heart was pounding. She was nervous, but she was also very excited to run away with Lingge under the moonlight.
Guo Shao was awakened in bed by the eunuch Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong said in a trembling voice: Your Majesty, I dare not bother you easily, but the Tangut woman Li Yueji and her lover ran away secretly.
Guo Shao was still dazed at first and didn't come to his senses. It took him a while to understand what had happened.
Lee Wol-hee eloped
She was just a pretty girl, and Guo Shao had no feelings for her. Moreover, she wanted to run away on her own, which was Guo Shao's usual habit, so he didn't feel anything at first.
But gradually, he came to his senses. This woman was not only a Dangxiang woman, but also the concubine of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
First, he realized the seriousness of the matter. A concubine of the Great Zhou royal family actually eloped with another man. How could the royal family retain its reputation? Then, he felt an inexplicable sense of shame and anger.
Guo Shao felt that he had always respected women and had basically no thoughts of violence or coercion, but it was obviously because he had never encountered anything that would arouse a man's possessiveness.
He felt very unhappy. On the one hand, he felt very uncomfortable and humiliated, and on the other hand, he felt like a villain, just like the villain on TV who obstructed true love couples.
Guo Shao immediately cursed.
Wang Zhong said hurriedly: The Tanguts are barbarians, uneducated, ignorant of etiquette, shameless, and actually did such a shameless thing.
Guo Shao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and sat up suddenly: Where did you run to? Is anyone chasing you
Wang Zhong said: Your Majesty, they ran eastward, and the Shuofang Army on duty chased them out first. The imperial guards were focused on guarding the palace, and the Tanguts did not bring any soldiers to send their relatives, so no one expected such a thing to happen; there was no war in Lingzhou City, but many tribal leaders came, and the Shuofang Army also focused on the security of the city. They suddenly ran away and were discovered by Lu Shijun, but there was no time to mobilize troops to intercept them, so they ran away.
Guo Shao dressed quickly, and Wang Zhong came up to serve him. Guo Shao said: "Don't waste time here. Who will be on duty at the palace tonight?"
Wang Zhongdao: Your Majesty, this is Commander Dong Zunhui.
Guo Shaodao: Immediately issue an order. First, tell Dong Zunhui to send the vanguard to chase the Shuofang army. Second, gather the cavalry and prepare to go. I want to personally capture that woman.
Wang Zhong hurriedly advised: Your Majesty is in charge of the country, just ask the general to do it.
Guo Shaodao: This is a great humiliation. I can still stay here. Go quickly.
Wang Zhong had no choice but to bow and say: "I obey your order."
Although Guo Shao was caught off guard and angry, he had seen storms before, so he calmed down, his fingers were steady and flexible, and he quickly put on his clothes. There was a sword on the wall, and he wanted to take it down and put it on, but he stopped and took a bow and equipped the quiver on his waist.
