The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 123 Xilu Tribe

"But I always feel something is wrong." Zhao Shuang rested her chin on one hand and frowned.

The man in Xuanyi raised his head, not wanting her to have a thorn in his heart all the time, and said, "If you still care about it, we can discuss it with Li Daochong tomorrow when we go to the city guard's mansion."

Chuzhou City has a mild climate and is like spring all year round.The night was breezy, neither hot nor cold.

The dead leaves are in the center and the lamp has just been lit.

After dinner, Zhao Shuang was about to take a bath when she saw two weak figures kneeling at the door of the clean room.

"He...why don't the two of them go out?" Zhao Shuang tightened his clothes and glanced at Xiangxia.

"Back to the princess, the servants told them, I don't know if it's because of the language barrier or what happened, Xiulan and Xiumu just refused to go out..." Xiangxia said aggrievedly.

"You two come over here!" Zhao Shuang scolded angrily, and the two little poor fellows immediately approached on knees and crawling.

"Now I'm going to take a bath, and Xiangxia can take care of me, you two go out!" Zhao Shuang pointed at the door.

"Wang... Wangfei," Xiulan said. Her Chinese is fairly standard, her voice is slightly hoarse, which is slightly inconsistent with her weak figure. Serve every step of the way."

When Zhao Shuang heard this, her eyes went dark and her mind was buzzing.What fallacies did Granny Wu teach?
"You...you just follow, he is a man, why should he follow?" Zhao Shuang pointed at Xiumu, and then pointed in the direction of the outer hall, "Xiumu, you should follow the prince!"

At this time, Yang Xuan just came in pacing.

Xiumu glanced at him nervously, then lowered her head towards the man in black, blushing and said, "My lord, I... I am willing to serve my lord!"

Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, took tea, walked to the couch next to Zhao Shuang, sat down, and asked softly, "Serve me?"

"Will the lord want to take a bath?" Xiumu raised his head slightly, blinked his clear eyes, his handsome and clean face was blushing slightly, looking at the high-ranking regent, and said timidly, "I can also serve the lord to bed. .”

"Pfft!" Yang Xuan just took a sip of tea and sprayed Zhao Shuang all over, and said with a little embarrassment, "You!"

Zhao Shuang was also quite frightened, she already suspected that Yang Xuan was masculine, and seeing that this young man was smart and handsome, it would be a disaster if the prince was really moved.

"Xiu Mu, you go to the outer hall to take charge of the cleaning, you are not allowed to come in without my order!" She raised her face and raised her voice.

Xiumu glanced at the regent with grievances, saw that his face blushed but did not speak, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

After Xiumu went out, Zhao Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and was supported by Xiangxia and Xiulan to take a bath in the clean room.

Flowers are everywhere in western Yunnan, and it is customary to add petals of various colors to the tub.

The fragrance in the clean room is tangy, and the warmth is somewhat intoxicating.

"Xiulan, you and Xiumu... aren't from the Central Plains, are you?" She asked curiously while looking at the dark-skinned girl.

Although Xiulan's appearance is different from that of the Central Plains people, her facial features are exquisite, petite and cute, with an exotic beauty.

Xiulan nodded and said respectfully, "I am from the Xilu tribe."

"You and Xiumu are brother and sister?" Zhao Shuang recalled the appearance of the young man just now, and found that they were somewhat similar.

"Yes," Xiulan gave her a timid look, and said in her unproficient Chinese, "brother."

"Where are your parents?" Zhao Shuang took her hand and examined it carefully. There were calluses on the palm, as if left by a bow and arrow. "You used to... use a bow and arrow?"

"My parents and family members are all dead." Xiulan looked out the window with a sad face. "Two months ago, my brother and I were arrested and brought to Chuzhou."

"All the clansmen are dead?" Zhao Shuang put down her hand and asked doubtfully, "Aren't those people who came in with you during the day your clansmen?"

In the morning, Granny Wu led a row of slaves in. They were all bronze-skinned. Zhao Shuang thought they were of the same race.

"No, those... are the enemies of the Xilu tribe." Xiulan shook her head and explained, "Our two tribes are old enemies. After a big battle two months ago, we were both captured by General Xu."

"I see." Zhao Shuang nodded and repeated, "The Xilu tribe..."

"Princess, Chuzhou...isn't as peaceful as it looks." After Xiulan saw Xiangxia winking at her, she stopped her mouth quickly and said cautiously, "Don't say it was said by the servant."

The next day, Yang Xuan and Zhao Shuang went to Chengshoufu to visit Li Daochong.

Chuzhou Chengshou Mansion is located on a small hill, and the main house is located on the turret. The window of the main house has a wide view.

"My lord and my concubine are here, and the officials are far away to welcome you." Li Daochong was dressed in a crimson official uniform, with a handsome figure and a deep and pleasant voice.

Thinking that this is Xu Lianyu's future husband-in-law, Zhao Shuang couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

This person is in his early thirties, with dark complexion, long beard and beautiful beard, which is considered a good match for Xu Lianyu.

"Lord Li, I haven't been to the west of Yunnan for several years." Yang Xuan casually glanced at the surroundings, and said pleasantly, "Chuzhou is peaceful and prosperous under your rule. I am very pleased."

"My lord's reputation is all due to my lord's blessing. My lord and my concubine, please sit down." Li Daochong bowed his hands and led them to sit down. Then he ordered the servant girl to serve tea, "Is the journey of your lord going smoothly?"

"Well, the journey went smoothly, nothing happened, but going to Beijing... makes me quite worried. You must have heard about the infiltration of the new emperor of Beiliang into Shangjing, right?" Yang Xuan tilted his head and looked at him with squinted eyes.

Zhao Shuang found it strange that the two of them never mentioned anything about Xu Lianyu, they were just talking about business.

It seems that for men, official career and public affairs are always the first priority, and wives, concubines and beauties are really just floating clouds.

"I heard about it," Li Daochong said solemnly, stroking his beard, "Shangjing is too close to the northern border, I'm afraid Xiao Zongheng is not the only spy in Beiliang, the prince must guard against it!"

The city guard's mansion is small in size, the environment is quiet, there are mountains and clouds on the hills, and the air is good.

The three of them sat in the hall, drinking tea and looking at the scenery, which was quite pleasant.

"This king knows." Yang Xuan picked up the teacup and asked again, "What kind of tea is this? This king likes the taste of this tea very much."

"My lord, this is a local deciduous tea from western Yunnan." Li Daochong replied.

"This deciduous tea seems to be very popular, and we also have this kind of tea in the yard where we live," Zhao Shuang muttered, and then remembered what the yard they lived in was called "Dead Leaf Residence". Named after the leaves?"

"Returning to the princess, it is said that Chuzhou was transformed from the fallen leaves of a fairy tree, so the names of 'fallen leaves' and 'dead leaves' in the Central Plains, which represent withering and depression, have auspicious meanings in Chuzhou, representing the quality of things. Wangfei If you read "West Dian Fengtu Zhi", you will find that there are many exotic flowers and plants that are not found in other places, and it is said that it is because of the spiritual energy brought by the fallen leaves of that fairy tree." Li Daochong turned his head and smiled at her, gently Warm, very patient as if telling a story to a child.
