Chapter 1532: The desert smoke rises straight, the long river sets in the round sun
Princess Mingli left with Xia Siya and Princess Linghua.
Da Pan followed Xia Siya excitedly.
Erpan gritted his teeth and followed, all wet.
After all, the aunt did not withdraw the order, so he had to continue to protect that woman!
Xia Siya stopped, turned around and quickly glanced at Da Pan, and said helplessly: "You and Er Pan go back to the inn to change clothes. What if you catch a cold like this?"
"No! I'm in good health and won't catch a cold. These clothes will dry in a while!" Da Pan said excitedly.
She cares about him!
Da Pan looked at Xia Siya's head with burning eyes.
"Tsk tsk!" Princess Mingli clicked her tongue and said teasingly, "You're feeling sorry for him now? And you still refuse to admit that this is your lover?"
Xia Siya: “…”
His face turned red.
Then he glared at Princess Mingli.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" Xia Siya said unhappily with a red face.
"This prince has a mouth, why don't you say anything?" Princess Mingli said confidently, "This prince has always been straightforward and outspoken. Unlike some women who say one thing and mean another all day long! If you're heartbroken, then you're heartbroken. Why don't you admit it?"
Some women Xia Siya: "..."
Erpan looked at Princess Mingli, then at Xia Siya.
Why does he feel something is wrong?
"The float is coming... The float is coming..."
There was a noise in the street ahead.
Soon, a romantic float pulled by four snow-white horses and decorated with colorful flowers slowly approached from a distance.
In the middle of the float, surrounded by flowers, is a girl with bright eyes and white teeth.
The girl has long hair like clouds, eyes like water, a look of admiration on her face, and she is holding a painting devoutly.
The little girl in the painting has a faint smile on her face and looks around with a lively spirit, as if she is astonished by the brilliance of the whole world.
Tang Bao: “…”
Is this her?
Tang Bao stood high up on the river bank, looking at the floats passing by not far away, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
She had only seen funeral processions carrying portraits of the deceased, but had never seen anyone parade through the streets carrying portraits of living people.
"Who is the girl in this portrait?" someone asked in surprise.
"You don't know this, do you? The girl in the painting is the champion of this year's Qiqiao Festival!"
"Isn't the winner the girl on the float?"
"Of course not! Let me tell you..."
With the occasional announcements, even those who did not go to watch the Qiqiao Festival knew about the miracles created by Tang Bao, the leader.
What's more, next to Tian Yingniang was the Buddha statue embroidered by Tang Bao.
The Buddha in the statue has a kind face, as if looking at everyone who looks at him with compassionate and loving eyes.
"Please pray to the Buddha to protect my youngest son and turn misfortune into good fortune!"
A mother who was worried about her son suddenly knelt down in front of the Buddha statue.
The mother's words and actions seemed to have triggered a certain signal.
"Please pray to the Buddha to protect my grandmother and hope she will recover soon!"
"Please, Buddha, bless me, a little woman, to find a husband of my dreams!"
"May Buddha bless you..."
People on both sides of the street knelt down, muttering something.
The style of painting changed suddenly!
What should have been a joyous parade of leaders with countless young men sending them lanterns was abruptly transformed into a large-scale performance of praying to gods and Buddhas.
"Su Tang is indeed her!" Princess Mingli exclaimed, "Wherever she goes, she causes a unique sensation!"
After saying this, he paused and continued, "If this happens, I'm afraid everyone in this county will deify Su Tang!"
"Sister Fuya is not an ordinary person!" Xia Siya said.
"My aunt is not an ordinary person!" said Da Pan and Er Pan.
Princess Mingli: “…”
She had no words to refute.
"Su Tang must have done this on purpose!" Princess Mingli speculated, "Otherwise, why would she, just passing by, snatch someone else's opportunity to participate in the Qiqiao Festival?"
She must be trying to act mysterious and make people worship her!
Princess Mingli felt a little sour.
How come this Su Tang can be placed anywhere?
Well, she has no choice but to accept it!
Tang Bao said she felt very wronged.
She participated in the Qiqiao Festival simply because she didn't want the ancient embroiderer from Jinxiufang to win the championship.
Early the next morning, everyone continued their journey west.
As for the matter of the ancient embroiderer, Tang Bao had already sent a pigeon letter back to the capital.
With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Jin meeting with County Magistrate Tian before leaving, County Magistrate Tian would never dare to be careless about this case.
After all, no matter how powerful the Wang family is, it is not more powerful than the Crown Prince!
"Master, don't worry, I will study what you gave me carefully and will not let you down!" Tian Yingniang said to Tang Bao with a firm look on her face as if she was swearing.
Tang Bao nodded slightly and did not correct Tian Yingniang's address.
If this girl is really talented and can learn Gu's flying needle technique, Tang Bao will naturally be happy.
If more people learn this precious skill, it will not be easily lost in the future.
County Magistrate Tian and his wife stood respectfully by.
Both the husband and wife were in great excitement, and their eyes kept looking at Xuanyuan Jin who was beside Tang Bao.
They didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come here.
The county magistrate's wife secretly tugged at her master's sleeve, conveying some message with her eyes.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes a liking to his little daughter, then she won't have to go to the capital to participate in the Crown Prince's selection.
County Magistrate Tian was not as optimistic as his wife.
He looked at Xuanyuan Jin and then at Tang Bao.
Suddenly I felt that these two people standing together were the most suitable...
**
"I feel like we're really on a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures." Princess Linghua said as she sat in Tang Bao's carriage, "Although we haven't encountered any monsters or demons along the way, if we can secure an alliance between the two countries and ensure a century of peace on the border, we'll be considered to have obtained the true scriptures."
"Wow! Miss, please look outside!"
Pomegranate's surprised voice came from outside the carriage.
Tang Bao lifted the car curtain and looked out.
Involuntarily, a look of shock appeared on his face.
On the horizon, a huge red sun is slowly falling.
In the distance, the endless yellow sand emits a winding light...
"The smoke rises straight in the desert, the sun sets over the long river..." Tang Bao murmured.
She finally saw the scene described in this ancient poem with her own eyes.
"Ah! So beautiful!" Princess Linghua exclaimed.
Tang Bao's heart was filled with emotion. She jumped off the carriage and admired the vast, sad, yet refreshing and magnificent scenery.
There was a sound of horse hooves, and Xuanyuan Jin, riding on the big black horse Honghong, galloped from the front.
"Brother?" Tang Bao thought something was wrong with Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin did not dismount, but just turned his horse's head and stretched out his hand to Tang Bao.
“Come up!”
Tang Bao suddenly understood what Xuanyuan Jin meant.
"good!"
After saying that, he handed his hand to Xuanyuan Jin, and with the help of Xuanyuan Jin's hand, he jumped onto the horse and sat sideways in front of Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin held the reins with one hand, hugged Tang Bao's waist with the other, and squeezed his legs against the horse's belly.
The big black horse neighed happily and galloped towards the setting sun happily.
Pomegranate:"……"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has kidnapped the young lady again.
