In the early morning of the second day, the sky was hazy, and before dawn, there was already a sound of noise from the open space in the northwest. The children of the families came here for the first time, and they got to know each other well. After meeting, they either greeted the elders, or showed their saddle bows and arrows, enjoying themselves for a while.
During the exchange of greetings, someone with sharp eyes saw a group of people walking not far away: "Pei Lang is here."
Pei Ji'an rode a horse, dressed in blue, with a face like jade, and walked slowly towards the gathering place with many attendants. When everyone saw Pei Ji'an, they all stepped forward and said, "Pei Lang, you are finally here. I haven't congratulated you yet on your marriage with Princess Guangning. You are really good at it, and you turned me to the most beautiful The princess took it away."
Pei Ji'an smiled slightly and thanked everyone one by one: "Thank you for your kindness. After I return to the Eastern Capital, I will set up a banquet for everyone in person. Please be sure to show your face when the time comes."
The gentlemen responded one after another. They were all of noble birth, rich and beautiful, and they were very good at having fun. In just a few words, they discussed where to go for a drink, and the famous restaurants in Beili were like common food in their mouths. Hearing this, Pei Ji'an frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
While everyone was talking, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance. They turned their heads and reminded each other: "The prince and King Zhao are here."
In the direction of Purple Osmanthus Palace, two young men took the lead and walked towards them with mighty attendants. They were Prince Li Shan and Zhao Wang Li Huai. Behind them were many brightly dressed women, what's more, some nondescript "men".
At this time, the martial arts are fashionable, and there is no distinction between civil and military officials. It may be said that the officialdom defaults that a man should be proficient in both civil and military affairs. Even the prime ministers of the three provinces and six ministries all had military experience in their early years. If they only know how to write documents and don't know how to bow and horse, they will be ridiculed by their colleagues at parties.
Men do this, and women follow suit. There are not a few aristocratic women who can ride horses and shoot arrows, and there are even more daring ones who openly disguise themselves as men to travel. The imperial court issued a decree to reprimand it several times, but it was useless. Princesses and concubines still pretend to be men as a trend, and follow the example. Naturally, the people below can't help it.
Li Chaoge and Li Changle are also in the team. Li Chaoge has returned to the family, and the palace is out hunting, so she naturally has to act with her brothers and sisters, otherwise she will appear to be out of group. But in fact, she didn't want to go with these people.
Li Changle is so novel, what did he wear today? A suit of men's clothes, pretending to mix among men. I heard that Li Changle and Li Huai took this clothes. Li Huai is the prince, so naturally he has many clothes that he hasn't worn. Later, he grew out of shape and couldn't wear them anymore. Li Changle struggled for a long time yesterday, and finally asked for clothes from Li Huai. At night, the maid asked Li Chaoge if he wanted to change into men's clothes, but Li Chaoge refused.
To put it bluntly, the bones of women and men are different. Women are born with soft curves. Wearing men's clothes can't support their shoulders and chest. Not to mention their masculinity, they look like eunuchs.
Li Chaoge doesn't do this kind of thing, she wears women's Hu clothing generously. Hufu was originally the clothing of the nomadic people in the Northern Dynasties. It has been continuously integrated with Han culture for many years, and now it has become a unique landscape of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chaoge's Hufu has white as the background color, with blue and red embroidered Zhai birds on it. The waist is tied tightly with a red leather belt, protruding her beautiful neck, slender limbs, smooth waistline, and riding on a horse. Especially the slender legs.
She tied a high ponytail today, except for the fixed hairpin, there is no extra jewelry on her body. It's not like yesterday's grand make-up, but this outfit makes her look more heroic, gorgeous and sassy. Especially not far from her is Li Changle, who is wearing men's clothing and looks inexplicably loose. Li Chaoge's horse is taller than Li Changle's, but his legs are longer than Li Changle's, which is especially obvious in comparison.
Li Chaoge was holding the rein with one hand, his back was straight, he was looking ahead, his long legs were firmly on the stirrups, while Li Changle was buried in his loose clothes, like a child stealing an adult's clothes, listless. If you look at it alone, you can say that Yuxue is cute, but Li Chaoge next to him has a slender waist, long legs, and exquisite curves. When the two of them are put together, it seems that Li Changle has a hunched back and a short neck, and his proportions are particularly abusive.
In the face of beauty, is cute worthless? Not worth it.
When everyone saw the royal family coming, they stopped talking and waited quietly for the arrival of the princes and princesses. Pei Ji'an saw Li Chaoge at a glance, not only him, but all the gentlemen present, whether they knew Li Chaoge or not, couldn't help but look in her direction at this moment. She is as beautiful as jade and as imposing as a rainbow. Her face is reflected in the morning light, as if she has been cast with a layer of soft light. She looks very seductive.
Pei Ji'an couldn't help but look at it a few times. Not to mention anything else, this woman has a truly unique figure and appearance, no matter where she is, she is the most eye-catching one. After Li Shan and others approached, Pei Ji'an suddenly realized that Li Changle was also there, and he was right next to Li Chaoge.
He didn't notice it at all just now. Embarrassed, Pei Ji'an hurried forward to say hello: "See Prince, King Zhao, Princess Anding, and Princess Guangning."
Li Shan reined in his horse slowly, exchanged greetings with Pei Ji'an, and the children of other aristocratic families also stepped forward to salute. Li Chaoge was too lazy to listen to their politeness, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Where's Gu Mingke?"
The children of the aristocratic family who were greeting each other stopped talking and looked at each other, and they all looked at Pei Ji'an as if they were watching a good show. Yesterday, there were frequent rumors in the palace. First, the lost Princess Anding was found. Then Pei Ji'an and Princess Guangning gave her a marriage. Then, Princess Anding fell in love with? Pei Ji'an's cousin!
The news is getting louder and louder. Now, no one in Purple Osmanthus Palace knows that the Pei family has been favored by heaven, and maybe the two princesses will be honored.
Pei Ji'an sighed secretly, Li Chaoge really couldn't sit still, would make some noise anytime and anywhere, and refused to be peaceful for a moment. Pei Ji'an said: "My cousin is also here, but my cousin is not in good health and has a quiet temperament, so I went to a quiet place to rest my mind."
Li Chaoge raised his head to look at it, and immediately rode his horse and walked out: "You don't need to worry about me, just set off in a while. I will walk slowly with him."
After she finished speaking, she rode her horse and rushed outside without looking back.
After Li Chaoge left, the remaining sons and daughters looked at each other, their eyes seemed to be teasing and watching the excitement. How should I put this kind of thing, the two are both princesses, Li Changle grew up receiving the best education in the palace, and married Pei Ji'an, the eldest son of Pei's eldest son who has been a prince for generations as an adult, while Li Chaoge was just a bit behind, but finally fell in love with her ?The cousin who lived in Pei's house.
The background is a little bit worse, the upbringing is a little bit worse, and the husband's family is even worse? A lot. Even if the ancestors of the Gu family are noble, so what, can the ancestors' Qingming be eaten? Perhaps the environment determines one's destiny. A person's childhood background really determines her vision.
Li Chaoge and Li Changle are both his younger sisters, Li Shan didn't say much, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go."
Everyone should be, the gentlemen turned their horses' heads together, and the guards from every household stepped forward one after another, escorting the little master into the forest. The front is mighty and full of people, but the rear of the team is deserted, followed by a few people sparsely, which is especially depressed in comparison.
Li Chaoge frowned, waved away the dust raised by the people in front, and said to Gu Mingke: "Mr. Gu, I don't mind walking at the end, but I really don't like eating other people's dust. How about we go faster?"
Gu Mingke was still dressed in white today, and the morning mist fell on him, clear and cold, hazy, as if he was about to melt into the morning mist. Even the dust seemed ashamed and dared not fall on him. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke walked at the end together, Li Chaoge's face was covered with dirt, but Gu Mingke's body was clean and spotless.
Gu Mingke was unmoved, and said: "If the princess is impatient, she can leave on her own. I am weak and sick, and I can't do strenuous exercise. I can't accompany you."
Li Chaoge looked at his face, thinking he wanted to thank him for being able to say the words "frail and sickly". With a beautiful woman by her side, Li Chaoge doesn't care about eating dirt anymore? She also held the rein loosely and followed Gu Mingke's side unhurriedly: "My son is weak and sick, so I have to protect him even more?" Don't worry, young master, I will definitely accompany you today, and I will never leave half a step away."
Gu Mingke was still looking ahead intently, without turning his eyes to the side, as if he didn't care about Li Chaoge at all. But he let out a long sigh in his heart.
Now there is good news and bad news. The good news is that she is finally no longer obsessed with Greedy Wolf, and Gu Mingke's mission has made great progress. The bad news is, she seems to have a crush on him?.
Beichen Tianzun has been in charge of the prison for thousands of years. He is used to being alienated, feared, and even cursed by others, but this is the first time he has been pursued by others.
Is it so dangerous to come to the world to perform missions now
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke walked slowly, the people in front walked away? The dust raised gradually went away. Li Chaoge doesn't need to worry? She just eats a mouthful of dirt, she glanced at Gu Mingke lightly, and said with a smile: "Now that things are going on, Mr. Gu still insists on not knowing me?"
Gu Mingke said indifferently: "The princess made a feat yesterday, and I will naturally know the princess."
It's hard not to know her. I am afraid that now, no one in Zigui Palace does not know the name of Princess Anding Li Chaoge
"And before that?"
"Yesterday was the first time we met, before I don't know where the princess is referring to."
"Then let me make it clearer." Li Chaoge stared fixedly at Gu Mingke, and said in a low voice, "Jiannan Road, Ten Mile Mountains, Black Forest, and, Pingshan Mountain."
The expression on Gu Mingke's face did not fluctuate at all. He looked back at Li Chaoge quietly and said, "I have been weak since I was young. I have never been to other places except Chang'an and Luoyang in these years. Princess, you have mistaken someone."
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke looked at each other for a moment, neither of them took the lead to look away. Li Chaoge smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Okay, you don't admit it. I like to force others the most. If you don't admit it, I want you to admit it."
What's wrong. Gu Mingke withdrew his gaze, and said quietly to the front: "Princess, have you entered the forest? Please watch the road."
Li Chaoge snorted, thinking that this person is extremely boring, talking to him is more boring than talking to the cold law.
The two walked side by side in the jungle, surrounded by prey deliberately driven by the guards, but neither of them had any intention of doing anything. Li Chaoge walked for a while, pointed to a fungus next to it, and said, "There are tiger claw fungus here. Eat this kind of fungus? It's hallucinogenic, and even a tiger can be brought down in a stick of incense. If you collect some for use Isn’t hunting more effective than half the effort?”
Gu Mingke hummed lightly, as if following Li Chaoge. After a while, Li Chaoge saw another vine and said, "Iron money vine, this is also able to stun prey. Someone here, pick it off and distribute it to everyone later."
When the attendants heard this, they immediately stepped forward to pick the vines. Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke, and Gu Mingke was still sitting safely on the horse. Sensing her gaze, Gu Mingke smiled slightly and said: "These plants grow in Jiannan, and the princess knows their effects best. The princess can do it herself." Just decide, let's see what I do?"
Li Chaoge's face darkened, he winked at the guards, and said coldly, "You don't need to pick it off."
The guards stopped, and they looked at the inexplicably angry princess for no reason, and then at the calm Mr. Gu, wondering what was wrong with the princess? For the crown prince and King Zhao?"
Gu Mingke smiled faintly, pulled the rein, and continued to move forward. Seeing his performance, Li Chaoge knew in his heart that this person was very shrewd, and if he tried to test him with these things, he would never succeed.
Li Chaoge quickly gave up. She reined in her horse and said casually to the guard, "It's poisonous, don't touch it."
The guard was startled, Qiqi was startled? Jumped. At this time, Li Chaoge had already caught up with Gu Mingke, and asked, "You seem to be very concerned about Pei Ji'an. With your talent, you will never be inferior to Pei's family. What is your purpose?"
"Princess Miao Zan." Gu Mingke said, "He is my cousin, and it is only right and proper for me to pay attention to him."
Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, quite skeptical: "Are you really cousins? Pei Ji'an's crooked melon and split date can grow a cousin like you?"
Gu Mingke was a very serious person, he almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He had no choice but to glance at Li Chaoge, the shadows in his eyes slanted horizontally, and the broken light was clear and shallow: "Princess, be careful with your words."
