The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 219 Bright Leap City

The brigade set off again, and it was still difficult in the wind and snow.But everyone also had a persistence in their hearts. Seeing Feng Yao leading the horse and walking at the front of the team, they always felt that this woman's weak back and thin shoulders seemed to be able to carry everything, including the hopes and lives of all of them.

But not all are lucky.Five miles away from the town, the soldier with frostbitten legs lost his life.Feng Yao walked over to take a look at him, but saw that although he was lying stiffly, there was a kind of serenity on his face.One hand was still clutching the strap of the cloak, and he seemed to be smiling contentedly.

Feng Yao sighed, and ordered someone to wrap the soldier in that ermine cloak, and find a place to bury him.

During the last five miles, Feng Yao's legs were completely numb.But she didn't dare to ride a horse, because walking could at least move her legs and feet. If she sat on a horse, she was worried that she wouldn't know when her legs were frozen off.

Finally arrived at the place called Mingyue City, the officers and soldiers guarding the city had received the news that the eldest princess was coming, and opened the city gate wide.The prefect also greeted the gate of the city.

Feng Yao stared at her, with a sense of sophistication and determination in her eyes, it seemed that this journey made her understand a lot, and her heart became firmer.

The eunuch had long heard that the eldest princess was a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but seeing Feng Yao's picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, tall and slender figure, she looked graceful and charming.But I didn't expect to take a closer look, and found that the eldest princess's brows were full of majesty and momentum, and there was an awe-inspiring determination in the depths of her eyes.

The prefect knew that such a woman should not be underestimated, there is a kind of power that makes people surrender without speaking or moving.

"My minister Lang Qi, see the eldest princess. The eldest princess has worked hard all the way. It is really not easy for the people, the people, and the country." The prefect knelt down, and the masters and attendants behind him all knelt on the ground.

The soldiers guarding the city also collected their arrows and stood up their guns, and stood aside solemnly and saluted.

Feng Yao pursed his lips and led the horse step by step into the city. He didn't pay attention to the prefect Lang Qi, nor did he intend to get him up. He just looked at the rows of residential houses and the streets in the city in a daze.

Feng Yao looked at it for a long while without saying a word, and Lang Qi's heart sank.I don't understand what the eldest princess means, and I don't know how to cater to the eldest princess's mind. This is really difficult.

When Lang Qi knelt in the windy snow and his knees hurt, Feng Yao looked away, nodded and said: "Very well, this Mingyue City is better than I imagined. You have done a good job in governance .”

"Yes. Thank you, Eldest Princess, for your compliment." Lang Qi felt a stone in his heart fall to the ground when he heard Feng Yao say this.But seeing that Feng Yao still had no intention of letting him get up, he couldn't help pinching his knees quietly.

Feng Yao could see Lang Qi's actions, and he already had a rough idea in his heart.Then he said: "Prefect Lang please get up quickly, there is no need to be so polite when talking to Bengong."

"Yes, Princess Xie." Lang Qi then stood up.But after kneeling for a long time, his legs inevitably became numb, he stood up and shook twice, and the two attendants beside him rushed over to support his slightly fat body.

Lang Qi led Feng Yao all the way through the streets of Mingyue City, Feng Yao was always carefully paying attention to the buildings on both sides and the occasional people passing by.Although most of the people were stopped at a distance by the guarded soldiers, there were always some people hiding on street corners or in shops and looking out.

When he came to the prefect's mansion, Feng Yao felt his eyes light up.The eunuch has a good vision. The house occupies a large area, with a tall gatehouse, wide plaques, and glazed tiles on the roof.Walking into it, you can see that the courtyard is full of Jiangnan style, the only downside is that it is ice and snow here, and there is no green.Just think of summer, where there must be bustling brocade clusters, shaded by green willows, small ponds and pavilions, pavilions and pavilions.

Feng Yao couldn't help but praised: "It's a big house, although it's not as good as Ben Gong's mansion in the capital, but it's the most comfortable place along the way."

Lang Qi was overjoyed when he heard that.Imagine that Fengyao is just a girl, and a golden branch and jade leaf who was pampered and spoiled in the palace since she was a child. She has suffered a lot during this journey, and she has suffered a lot, right?Now that I have arranged for her a comfortable place to live, not to mention relieving her of the fatigue on the road, maybe recalling some good days in the capital, she will naturally think highly of herself.

Lang Qi hurriedly approached a few steps, bowed his waist and said with a smile: "As long as the eldest princess likes it. In fact, many rocks in this courtyard were transported here from the south of the Yangtze River. Although the trees transplanted from the south are not easy to survive, But there is an artificial pond in the warm garden over there, and the seven-color carp in it are all caught from the best springs and pools in the south of the Yangtze River. Some of them have been raised for several years, and it is really not easy."

"Oh?" Feng Yaoqi said: "There is a warm garden in this icy and snowy place? You have to watch it."

"Princess, please follow me." Lang Qi saw Feng Yao's amazement, and his face suddenly had a look of satisfaction.Leading Feng Yao towards the south corner of the garden.Passing through a round moon-shaped central gate, one can see a house built into a circle.

Feng Yao walked to the door and was about to enter, when Lang Qi reminded him: "Princess wait a minute, the warm courtyard is as warm as spring, if the princess enters in fox fur and warm jacket, if she sweats and then comes out, I'm afraid the cold wind will invade her." My muscles and bones were broken."

Feng Yao smiled and asked: "Is it that warm?"

Lang Qi said to himself: "That's natural. Several stoves in the house have been burning since the beginning of autumn, and they will not be turned off until the spring is in full bloom in March next year, and the carp will be fished into the pool in the courtyard, so the warm courtyard will be warmed up all winter. No cold at all."

The smile on the corner of Feng Yao's mouth became wider, and when he walked to the door and raised the curtain, he saw that there was another door a few steps away from this door.The distance between the two doors is just enough for several people to change clothes here.

Standing in this compartment, Feng Yao secretly sighed in his heart.He stretched out his hand to untie the fox fur, took off the hood and handed it to Zi Ying, then pushed open the door inside, opened a cotton curtain, and walked in.

What Lang Qi said is right, the warm courtyard is indeed as warm as spring, and the artificial pool dug on the ground is smoked by the unextinguished heater in the room, and the misty water vapor in the air really feels like misty rain in the mist, Jiangnan water town. feeling.

Looking at the pool again, although it is only two feet square, there is a Taihu stone in the center that is as tall as a person and has a very strange shape. It has 81 [-] holes, and the holes are transparent.Even if such a stone had to be transported here from the south of the Yangtze River and ensure that the stone would not be damaged due to bumps, it would take more effort than escorting several carts of grain.

And the swimming fish in the lake are really beautiful. Dozens of carp have shining golden scales and graceful tail fins.Feng Yao stood by the pool and watched, he couldn't help but sighed softly.
