Chapter 246: My Brain is Keeping Crashing
Shishu was sitting on the steps in the backyard in a daze. Chunlan passed by with a basin of washed clothes. She paused and sat down next to Shishu.
"Why are you daydreaming alone? Aren't you cold?"
Shishu came back to his senses and looked at Chunlan with a pout, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"I've been feeling abandoned lately. His Highness used to take me with him wherever he went, but now he only has eyes for the Princess."
Chunlan burst out laughing when she heard that.
"It's strange that the prince only has eyes for you! Stop imagining nonsense and accompany me to hang the clothes."
Chunlan stood up and pulled the secretary.
Shishu stood up listlessly, and looking at Chunlan's little face which was red from the cold, his mood suddenly improved.
"Chunlan, you said His Highness didn't take me to Yue Country. Was it intentional to create an opportunity for us to get to know each other better?"
"Think beautifully!"
Having said that, Chunlan actually agreed with Shishu's words in her heart. She wondered if the prince deliberately wanted her not to guess. She was willing to learn more about Shishu.
"Shishu, I still don't know how you ended up staying with the prince."
"I picked it up on the roadside when Your Highness was a child."
Chunlan was very surprised, she looked up at Shishu.
"Picked it up? Do you have any family?"
Shishu suddenly looked dazed and muttered.
"Family? They're too far away. I guess they have some."
"What kind of talk is that? If there is, there is not. If there is not, there is not. What do you mean by should be?"
Shishu lowered his eyes and looked at Chunlan.
"In my heart, Your Highness is my family. You and everyone in the mansion are my family."
At this time, Qing'e walked towards the two of them quickly and pointed at the entrance of the mansion.
"Chunlan, a man came to see the princess, claiming to be her relative. He seemed very anxious, but I'm not sure if it's true. How about you go and take a look?"
Chunlan hurriedly stuffed the washbasin into Qing'e's arms and walked quickly towards the gate of the mansion. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw the guard staring at the sky in a daze.
Chunlan felt amused. Why did everyone become so stupid today? The secretary was one, and the guard was also one.
Chunlan raised her hand and patted the guard's shoulder.
"Someone is here to see the princess? Where is he?"
The guard rubbed his eyes and quickly reported to Chunlan.
"He saw Sister Qing'e hadn't come out for a long time in the mansion, so he asked me if the princess was there. I said that the prince and princess had left for Yue Kingdom five days ago, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Gone in the blink of an eye?"
The guard nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, his expression very serious.
"I think this person's Qinggong skills are somewhat similar to the princess's. Could he be the princess's master?"
This left Chunlan completely bewildered. Hadn't the princess's master died long ago? How could this person who came to see the princess be her master?
Chunlan couldn't make any judgment since she hadn't seen the person, so she had to return home in disappointment.
?
It is said that in the territory of Yue State, after Emperor Tian Shang of Yue ascended the throne, he immediately announced to the world that in order to enhance friendly relations with Xia State, he would soon welcome the virtuous Princess of Xia State back to visit her relatives.
Suddenly the whole country was in an uproar.
They knew that a princess from Yue State was marrying the wise king of Xia State.
But which princess? What was her name? Why did the Emperor of Yue value this princess so much?
Almost no one knows about it, how can this be possible?!
Not to mention what the princess looks like, what her personality is like, what her hobbies are, no one knows!
When the princess returned to her parents' home, none of her family members recognized her. It was so ridiculous!
The ministers were all aware of a very important issue:
His Majesty has just ascended the throne. Winning the favor of His Majesty is related to their official career and future. They are worried that they don’t have the opportunity. The princess is about to return to her parents’ home, so it is necessary to save the country in a roundabout way.
It is urgent to please the princess!
Now the officials of Yue State stopped fighting among themselves and were determined to find out all the useful information about the princess before she returned to Chuyang.
As long as you work hard, even the most difficult tasks will become simple. As the saying goes, there are always more solutions than problems.
What's more, there are so many ministers, and each minister has relatives and friends, and each of the relatives and friends has relatives and friends, and even the slaves and servants are all scattered.
At one time, thousands of people from the Kingdom of Yue, from high-ranking officials to peddlers, were trying to find out about the princess.
Soon, the ministers of the State of Yue learned that the princess they sent for marriage was the sixteenth, named Tian Shiliu, who had been raised in the Ye Ting. However, her life in the Ye Ting was worse than that of a palace maid, so naturally she had no friends.
All the information about Tian Shiliu was obtained from Xia State, including Tian Shiliu's portrait.
That’s right, it was the portrait that circulated when Gu Jiancheng was trying the Jiaoyangyu case.
The ministers hurriedly copied the portrait, and finally each family had one, which was hung high in the main hall. They prayed and blessed it every day, hoping that Emperor Tian Shang of Yue would know their true feelings for the princess.
There are also rumors about the virtuous princess. When they reached the ears of the ministers of the State of Yue, they didn't know how many twists and turns it had taken, and it was inevitable that there would be embellishments. It was normal for rumors to spread.
Finally, we summarize as follows:
After marrying the virtuous king, Princess Tian Shiliu of Yue State has been living in seclusion, being kind and generous to her servants, and is like a fairy!
?
A few days later at noon, Zhao Xuan and others led a convoy into Chuyang City in a mighty procession.
Both sides of the road were crowded with people welcoming us, throwing flowers and cheering, it was so lively!
"Warm welcome, welcome, welcome!"
"Hello Princess, welcome home!"
Zhao Xuan lifted the car curtain to take a look, then quickly retracted her head, confused.
"The people of Yue are so enthusiastic, aren't they? Are Tian Shiliu so popular?"
Gu Zhanghua was also confused and tried to explain this strange phenomenon.
"Perhaps the title of Virtuous Princess is more appealing?"
When they saw the ministers from Yue State who came to greet them, they came forward one by one to greet Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua, and looked at Zhao Xuan as if they had met a long-lost relative.
It didn't feel strange at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with tears. That feeling made Zhao Xuan's brain completely shut down, and she couldn't help but whisper to Gu Zhanghua.
"They all seem to know me very well? But I'm not Tian Shiliu. Shouldn't they know Tian Shiliu? And isn't Tian Shiliu a nobody in Yue State?"
No matter how knowledgeable or analytical Gu Zhanghua was, his mind was completely confused at this moment.
"I don't know what's going on, but judging by the current situation, they really approve of you, which is a good thing."
The crowd surrounded Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua's carriage and drove it into the Honglu Temple.
At this time, Xiao Yixiang pretended to be Zhao Xuan's personal maid, and Hao Xiong pretended to be Gu Zhanghua's personal bodyguard.
Guan Liushui's identity did not need to be changed, and the five people moved into the Honglu Temple.
The Minister of Rites, Lord Qian, personally hosted a banquet with the highest standards to entertain everyone.
During the meal, Lord Qian sat next to Zhao Xuan, his loving and gentle eyes always glued to Zhao Xuan, making Zhao Xuan subconsciously want to call him grandpa.
Lord Qian looked at Zhao Xuan and sighed.
"Home, finally home, eat more, these are the princess's favorite dishes!"
Braised pork ribs with soy sauce, steamed sea bass, stewed tofu and cabbage, mixed wild vegetables, dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs?!
Sure enough, they are all her favorite foods!
Is it her favorite Chang Xiang Ju?
Zhao Xuan had the illusion that she was back in Jiaoyang Valley, or perhaps back in the Xianwang Mansion? But they were clearly in the Honglu Temple in Chuyang City, Yue State!
These are her favorite dishes and favorite wines as Zhao Xuan. Do these ministers really think she is Tian Shiliu herself?
Ahhhh, my head is so big!
Zhao Xuan's brain crashed again. She decided not to think about anything and just eat well first!
Gu Zhanghua, who was sitting on the other side of Zhao Xuan, was relatively calm and leaned over to ask Lord Qian.
"I wonder when the Emperor of Yue will summon us?"
Lord Qian slapped his head and was so busy trying to make friends with Her Royal Highness the Princess that he almost forgot about the important matter.
"Your Highness, the Virtuous Prince, according to procedure, you and Her Highness the Princess will rest in the Honglu Temple for one night. You will enter the palace tomorrow morning for a formal audience, and then you will have a family dinner with the Queen Mother and His Majesty to say goodbye!"
Guan Liushui, who was sitting at the same table, heard about this arrangement and told Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm going to visit the chairman of the organizing committee of this song and dance competition, Liu Huinian, and I won't be going to the palace with you tomorrow."
Zhao Xuan wished there was one less person to take risks with her, so she agreed immediately.
Lord Qian heard Guan Liushui calling the princess "sister" and was puzzled!
He had a thought that Guan Liushui must be the princess's sworn brother in Xia Kingdom.
How about some behind-the-scenes manipulation to directly let the princess's brother win the first prize in the song and dance competition?!
If the princess is happy, His Majesty will definitely be happy. He has succeeded in using his reputation!
