Gu Yinwei thought of the past and couldn't help but feel moved.
"We've come through countless hardships, and we must always look forward."
The round-faced woman sighed, "She picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Gu Yinwei. Gu Yinwei took a sip. The aroma of tea was more intoxicating than the aroma of wine.
The dinner was particularly sumptuous, with two chickens slaughtered and a lamb roasted.
After Prince Yimu got drunk, he began to dance around the campfire. Princess Zhaoyang played the hand drum, and her followers began to sing along with the drum beat.
People in the northern desert sing and dance after drinking, while people in the Central Plains keep emphasizing that they are not drunk after drinking.
Yang Xiaohuan squatted in the prison van and watched everyone dancing.
Gu Yinwei sent someone to give him a bowl of rice and a bowl of meat, but Yang Xiaohuan clamored for some bones to gnaw on.
Bian Tao sent someone to deliver him a few pieces of chicken with bones, and Yang Xiaohuan finally calmed down.
Everyone was singing and having fun. Yang Xiaohuan picked up a bone and chewed it fiercely. The generals who had a grudge against him surrounded him and taunted him, saying, "Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw, gnaw, gnaw until it turns into flowers."
Yang Xiaohuan kept chewing in silence.
As long as I have meat to eat, it doesn’t matter if I hear some negative words.
Tangli Villa is rich in autumn pears. When Gu Yinwei and her group set out, the round-faced woman specially picked out a few boxes of fresh pears for them.
The carriage continued to move forward, and the scenery along the way kept changing.
Many trees on both sides of the road began to lose color, gradually changing from dark green to yellow-green, and finally turning completely golden.
After walking for seven or eight days, the road suddenly opened up. Children were running barefoot on the ridges of the fields near the official road, and many people were gathering by the river waiting to catch loaches.
The taxes in Xuanhua State were not heavy, and the countryside was peaceful.
Prince Yimu was standing under a persimmon tree, and children playing not far away were shouting at him.
"Stranger, do you want to eat persimmons? Wait, I'll go call someone."
Prince Yimu said, "Thank you."
The child shouted a few words towards the village, and the adults in the village came out with baskets and bamboo poles.
I picked a bunch of fresh persimmons and gave them to Prince Yimu to eat.
Prince Yimu took out a silver note as a reward, but the other party did not take it.
The Central Plains people of Xuan State were hardworking, hospitable and not greedy.
As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. In the past, Prince Yimu’s understanding of Xuanhua Kingdom mostly came from his father’s oral narration or from books.
But when he actually set foot on this land, he found that the information recorded in the book was not completely correct.
The sound of a shepherd's flute came from afar, and a shepherd boy was leading a big blue ox slowly down the mountain stream.
Princess Zhaoyang burped and jumped off the carriage, "Brother, give me a persimmon."
Prince Yimu threw a persimmon to Princess Zhaoyang, who peeled it with a knife and took a big bite.
"Crispy persimmons, delicious."
"Why don't you eat?"
"I don't like crisp persimmons."
"That's right, you even eat soft rice, so of course you should choose soft persimmons too."
Prince Yimu carefully observed Princess Zhaoyang's expression. Her expression was very natural, and he was sure that she was not making fun of him.
"Give me back the persimmons. I won't give them to you."
The two of them pushed each other and pinched each other, fighting without restraint.
Bian Tao lifted the carriage curtain and laughed secretly. When she was in the Gu Mansion, the third lady Ye often played and fought with the second lady. Bian Tao turned around to share her joy, but Chu Chu was not by her side at this time. Gu Yinwei lowered her head to read a book. She was full of emotions but had nowhere to express them.
Gu Yinwei noticed something was wrong with Bian Tao and comforted her, "Don't worry about Chu Chu, she will be fine."
Princess Zhaoyang and her siblings forged a deep friendship with Gu Yinwei along the way, so when they arrived in Kyoto and their carriage was intercepted, Princess Zhaoyang stepped forward.
"Sister, your kung fu is poor, don't cause trouble."
"I'm not good at kung fu, but I'm good at quarreling."
The old man in the lead shouted and refused to let them go. "From ancient times to the present, no empress dowager has ever led troops into the city. Your Majesty has been governing the country for many years and has worked diligently. Empress Dowager, you cannot..."
"Come here."
The veteran who spoke pointed to his nose and asked, "You called me?"
"Who else could it be but you? You're the loudest person on the whole street."
An old man in silver armor came up to Princess Zhaoyang holding a hat.
"My friend, you are dissatisfied with what I said."
"I'm just dissatisfied."
"Young friend, do you agree to argue with me?"
"yes."
The silver-armored old man was furious: "Come down, come down."
Princess Zhaoyang jumped off the carriage, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the old man calmly without any panic.
While the old man was debating with Princess Zhaoyang, Gu Yinwei had already gotten off the carriage and went into the palace. She was busy saving Chuchu and had no time to deal with these people who were seeking fame.
After entering the palace, Gu Yinwei quickened her pace and arrived at Liangxiao Palace.
The Liangxiao Palace was empty, without a single palace maid in sight.
Bian Tao trotted out of the hall, grabbed a passing palace maid and asked, "Where is the Empress Xi?"
The palace maid pointed in the direction of the Cining Palace and then quickly ran away.
"My lady, please slow down."
Gu Yinwei's feet moved very fast, and she didn't touch the ground at all. Bian Tao was far behind her.
When we arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, we heard weak and intermittent crying sounds from inside.
Gu Yinwei stepped forward and prepared to push the door open, but it was locked with a heavy iron lock.
"Open the door."
The guard guarding the palace gate looked embarrassed: "Empress Dowager, please don't make things difficult for me."
Gu Yinwei pulled out the knife from the guard's hand and cut the iron chain in one stroke. After the palace gate was pushed open, smoke filled the room. The palace was filled with fumes and talismans drawn with chicken blood were pasted everywhere.
