Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Nine

"Ma'am, please pay attention to etiquette, don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty?" I raised my face and saw a young man behind me, his chestnut hair was braided into thin braids, his left lapel was slightly open, Li Tong looked at me with a bitter and bitter look. Hey!It seems that in the past eight years, Amir, except that he has elongated a bit, finally greatly surpassed my height, and looks a little handsome, he still has the same bad mouth and bad temper as before, and is not likable at all. ! Then these words successfully made Saru withdraw his gaze from me. He turned his back to Amir. From my perspective, I was surprised to find a trace of unnaturalness on his face.

"Presumptuous, have you forgotten that Duan Wang's letter mentioned that you should take good care of your wife?" Saruer gave a hand, "Madam's health is not good, so there is no need to be polite." I straightened up quickly, and Amir bent over and said yes, and gave me a sneaky look, showing a hint of contempt, that look seemed to be a bit similar to what I thought just now, clearly saying: You are no different from eight years ago . "Amir Burke killed the famous Khitan general Kodan at such a young age. He is really young and promising. He will definitely be a famous town in the future, and his future is limitless." I smiled at him: "Your Majesty has such a loyal and brave Burke by his side." , It’s really a great Turkic fortune, don’t ask to congratulate His Majesty Khan here.”

Amir probably didn't expect that I would praise her out of the mouth, and those chestnut eyes stared straight at me, cautious and puzzled. Amir bastard, have you heard a word?Those who have made great achievements will not end well! But Saruer laughed triumphantly: "It's strange that Madam Dao is a girl but is rich. Even the Sogdians who are good at business respect you as a strange person in the Han business world. You are really eloquent. Even I will be called by Madam." The clever mouth is drunk." "Mo Wen is just a poor businessman, how can he compare with the elite of the Sogdian clan in your country, but if he can be praised by the grassland sword, Mo Wen will have no regrets in his life."

Saruer's wine pupils were radiant, shining in the sun, and the incomparable king's arrogance rose spontaneously. Then he invited me to visit the Golden Rose Garden together, and he started talking more, pointing to the big walnut tree I climbed just now: "This is the tree goddess of Gongyue City, this tree may be the great-grandfather of the great-grandfather of the late emperor I personally carried it, and I was born under this tree." Feijue, oh!No, Saruel was born under this tree? "This is a sacred tree, it is the ladder leading to heaven," he said with a smile: "My mother likes this garden very much, when she was pregnant with me, she always prayed under this tree that I would be born safely and grow into a An outstanding king, but unfortunately encountered dystocia, even the imperial doctor in the palace could not do anything, so Guoerren Yehu ordered people to carry my mother to the tree mother god, but after a day and a night, the tree mother god let me go The Empress gave birth to me."

I couldn't help sighing: "It really is a tree god." He naturally drew me closer, and raised his hand to point to the lush tree crown: "Until now, there are still many royal family members who pray for safety and health, and to have a baby early, so they will write their wishes on colored silk and hang them on the trees. Enter Goddess." Only then did I notice bright brocade fluttering faintly among the layers of green leaves of the giant green umbrella. "Since the Queen Mother gave birth to me under this tree Goddess, she has ordered people to protect this Tree God, and no one is allowed to climb, otherwise she will be sentenced to death." He smiled and turned his face to me, "I don't want to just When I came back from Qinzhong, I always liked to climb this tree for nothing, and I was beaten by the Queen Mother for this, but I was disrespectful to the Tree Mother God."

I was taken aback, he leaned towards me slightly, and said with a teasing smile: "I don't want to see that my wife likes to climb trees just like me today. Tell me, my lady, how can you bribe me so that I won't let me tell you that you are a tree-climbing mother privately?" Where is God?" I don’t wear much clothes today, and the autumn of the Western Regions still makes people feel a little warm. Now I am too close to the Turkic emperor, so close that I can feel his breath spraying on my face, and it is getting hotter and hotter. When I was a child, Feijue always pulled me excitedly, pointed to the caterpillars on the leaves and asked curiously: Mu girl, Mu girl, look quickly, this flower is so rare, it can move!Could it be that this is a sacred tree? "

At that time, Feijue would be disappointed for a long time every time. I sometimes asked him: Why does fourth master always think about the sacred tree? He said honestly: "Then I can ask the tree god to make me the greatest king." Feijue, you finally became a great king, unified your country, and your name goes down in history. I looked at Saruer's wine pupils, took a step back, and said with a faint smile: "But obviously His Majesty is also on the tree?" He laughed for a while, looked at me for a while, and suddenly took a step forward, took my sleeve and whispered in my ear: "Don't worry, I won't tell others that you climbed the goddess tree, this is ours. secret."

The red-haired boy of Yubeizhai held a caterpillar in his hand and said to me blushing: This is our secret, Mu girl, you can't tell others. Then, he proudly stuffed the half-dead caterpillar into my hand: Take it, young master, I will reward you.When I become the greatest king in the future, I will give you a golden rose garden and let you be my Ke He Dun. At that time, I pretended to tremble with my hands, held the caterpillar like a dog's leg, and said obsequiously, "Thank you Lord Ron." Then he stuffed the caterpillar into his collar, jumped aside, and laughed to see where he was scratching like a monkey all by himself.

Now the red-haired young man in front of me is saying the same words to me, his eyes are no longer as clear and transparent as before, and now he is clearly flirting with me, what exactly is he trying to do? "Guoerren Yehu is here to meet His Majesty." The attendant's chant came from a distance, Feijue stood back in the distance, the corner of his mouth twitched, and a trace of displeasure at being disturbed flashed in his wine eyes. My heart moved, I looked up, and saw a black shadow passing through the sea of ​​flowers from far to near, and came to us, bowing respectfully to Saruer.

Saruer smiled kindly: "Ye Hu came, but I couldn't meet him far away. I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if Ye Hu is in good health." The sun was shining on the top of the man's bare head. When he raised his head, his facial features were still sharp and outstanding. The years had wrinkled the corners of his eyes. His back was still straight and proud, and his pair of high-hanging eyes were like a wolf. His eyes became sharper and more sinister, and he stared at me quickly, and it was Guo Erren whom I hadn't seen in eight years. He clearly had the fragrance of rose bushes on his body, but there was still a hint of lethargy, and he knelt down obediently and said: "Thanks to the blessings of the Almighty Tengger and Khan, this old bone is still healthy." , still able to eliminate rape and kill enemies for the Khan on the front line."

Saruer raised his head and laughed loudly, he helped Guoerren himself, and praised: "You are worthy of being the number one warrior of the Turks. It is my great blessing to have you in the court." The two exchanged a few polite words, and Saruer said happily: "The wooden girl has another child, you should go and see her, she always mentions you." Guo Erren's resolute face finally broke into a slight smile: "Is that so? This kid doesn't even write to me." "Don't blame her, I was the one who stopped her, and wanted to surprise Mrs. Ye Hu." I was listening on the side, but I saw Guo Erren's eagle eyes swept over, and said slowly: "Who is this lady?" Saruer glanced at me and said with a smile: "This is Prince Dali's inner room, my lord, have you forgotten that when I went to Doma last time, I brought back two women of Prince Duan. " Guo Erren raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, I think about it now. I heard rumors at that time that I was worried that the noble Khan would be hurt by the heart-eating devil. The almighty Tengger really protected my emperor. Megatron grassland." Saruel laughed loudly, at this time the long-disappeared Ahina walked up to them and said a few words, Saruel turned his head and frowned at me, winked at Amir, and then turned around Walk side by side with Guoerren to the depths of the palace. Amir stepped forward and said coldly: "Today is the birthday ceremony of Empress Zhan Ning, His Majesty invited Madam to go." Naturally, there is no place for me to refuse. I silently followed behind Amir. Of course, he did not recognize me affectionately. The two of them walked through the sea of ​​flowers silently. Emperor Zhan Ning is not only a famous Turkic politician and military strategist, but also an excellent musician. She often composes and sings by herself. It may be that her musical talent reminds people of the empress who was humiliated and captured as a dancer. It is basically not mentioned in the official history, but many of her self-created tunes are still widely spread among the people. It is said that she especially likes Kucha music. After the Turkic conquest of Kucha, the Kucha dynasty disappeared overnight, but all the Kucha music did not disappear together. Instead, it developed rapidly, and with the support of the Queen, it was organically combined with the Turkic music. A new chapter was opened in the history of music in my time. Sure enough, seeing an extraordinary palace in the distance, the lively Kucha Le floated out first, full of joy. I was led into a magnificent palace, which was already full of nobles and royals in fine clothes, but in the center of the hall, I saw a red-haired woman who was nearly forty years old, sitting on a golden throne with a golden crown inlaid with gems and jade. On top of this, she has a beautiful appearance, not angry but majestic, with royal majesty in her smile, her red hair is braided into braids like Feijue's, and the ends of the braids are pulled by the delicate golden tassels, hanging on her chest, it is Ah Ashina Guliya, the tenth emperor of the Shina family. Sitting under her head was a beautiful woman in palace attire, who looked exactly like Xuanyuan Shuyi, with a more noble temperament, but her complexion was somewhat melancholy. "Caomin has seen Her Majesty the Empress Dowager Zhan Ning." I slowly knelt down and felt the eyes of the woman in the main hall focus on me. She didn't ask me to get up, and I didn't raise my head. There. At this time, the servant shouted loudly: "The great Turkic Khan, His Majesty Khan of Feidu has arrived." Immediately there was music in the palace, and Saruer had already changed into a black brocade robe embroidered with golden wolf heads, holding Biying who was dressed up, and her belly was slightly caged. The first time I saw Biying, she still didn't look at me, followed by her adoptive father, Guo Erren Yehu. The noon sun shines in through the high and wide window lattices covered with embossed golden rose patterns, and the colorful colored glaze silently refracts the magnificent colors on the bright and smooth gold bricks, and analyzes the complex and prosperous patterns. , except for the Empress Dowager, no matter if it was the nobles or the palace musicians, they all stopped and put their foreheads on the ground, and shouted three times, Long live the Khan. When everyone prostrated in obedience, the Turkic emperor became taller and stronger, his profile was as handsome and clear as a god, and the hall seemed to become more spacious because of him. "My son has met His Majesty Mother, may Tengger bless you with health and longevity, and all the best." The young emperor greeted his mother with a smile. His resonant voice echoed in the hall for a long time. He helped him up, lovingly stroking his face: "Oh, my lovely Saruer, you have lost weight, you have worked hard to fight Dali." "For the cause of the great empire, what is it to suffer so much? It makes my mother worry." "Hey, your wife, the empress of Great Turk prayed for you day and night with her mother. She has lost a lot of weight. You should take a good look at her." He greeted Saruer with a hint of shyness: "Congratulations to His Majesty." Her eyes were flowing, and her stunning beauty was even more attractive because of her shyness. Saruer smiled and gave her a hand, but he didn't want her to gently hold his strong arm. Saruer still smiled, but a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he broke free from her arms without a trace. The brilliance disappeared immediately, and was replaced by endless loneliness. With wonderful eyes, she caught a glimpse of Biying standing behind Feijue with a faint belly, with a slightly teased face and sharp jealousy, and she retreated sadly behind the empress. I started to kneel numbly, it must have been a long time since I kneeled, but I was still mentally prepared to kneel for a while, because all the attention of the empress turned to Biying, she returned to the throne and said lightly: "It turns out that Rey Princess Hangul is also here, since she is not feeling well, there is no need to come here to congratulate her." Biying moved into the hall, knelt slowly and said: "My son came to congratulate the mother on the emperor's birthday." "Emperor Mother, it was Erchen who brought her here, Mu... Reyhangul also misses you very much." Saruer stood beside Biying and said softly. The empress smiled: "Oh, she missed me, so her father also missed me, so he dared to enter Gongyue City without my letter." The faces of all the people changed, and Guo Erren came forward and prostrated himself on the ground: "The old minister dare not, it is His Majesty's talisman to order the old minister to come, it is true that the old minister misses His Majesty the Mistress, may Her Majesty be under the glory of Tengger , always healthy." "Emperor Mother, Guoerren Yehu has always been concerned about your health, it is the child who ordered him to enter the palace, and wanted to give you a surprise." Saluer said softly. According to unofficial rumors, when the Empress Dowager was still a princess, Guo Erren had just become the youngest bodyguard in the palace, guarding the queen and the princess, and the mighty first warrior became the little princess' favorite toy. When I came to visit the princess, there happened to be an assassin. Guo Erren blocked an arrow for the princess and was seriously injured and fell into a coma for many days. The princess cried and said: "If I don't die, I will marry you." Guoerren survived, but because of what the little princess said, he was exiled from Heerhalin, and was sent to the front line to kill the enemy. He met Yuan Qingjiang, the greatest enemy in his life. Murdered in the palace by his favorite Moniah, Guo Erren rushed back and was unable to save him. Just when he was desperate, the original Qingjiang he hated the most said that he could save his sweetheart, and the only request was that he and his wife Turks want to help him defeat Ming Huizhong. Guo Erren agreed, and the former Qingjiang sent Ziyuan dark men to rescue the seriously ill Ashina Gulia from the Persian royal court. The princess has fallen in love with his greatest enemy in this life, and what makes him even more resentful is that she is pregnant with a child. Guo Erren immediately challenged the original Qingjiang for his sweetheart according to the custom of Turkic men. A handsome son with red hair, named Ashina Saruer, which means the unbroken steel sword. For this reason, Guo Erren became a domestic slave of the original Ziqi Mountain Villa. Some people said that he was worthy of being the first warrior of the Great Turks to keep his promise, and some people said that he survived because of Ashina Guliya and her precious son. . I looked around, and Guo Erren was still quietly bowing his forehead to the ground. The Empress Dowager's face was serious, and finally stretched out, sighing: "Ye Hu fought in the battlefield in the early years, his back was seriously injured, and he was injured by kneeling for a long time. Hurry up, please." Guo Erren stood up slowly, with excitement flashing in his eyes, he bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your compassion, I am willing to fight this old bone for the Empress and Your Majesty." The empress shook her head and chuckled: "Ye Hu should keep this old bone and watch how the great Saruer Khan turned the empire into a country that is greater and richer than the Han people." .
