"Hurry up and send someone to urge him. His Royal Highness is leaving. Let's put aside all the romantic thoughts for now. It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. Didn't His Royal Highness just say that if we have the chance, we must go to Chang'an City to pay our respects to His Majesty the Emperor?"
There was some dissatisfaction on the face of the King of Nanzhao. He was already preparing to leave, but these women behind him were still holding Princess Yongning and refused to let go. Do you really think this is just an ordinary way of sending your daughter to get married?
This is a matter concerning the relationship between the two countries. I gave instructions for a long time before leaving the palace because I was afraid that something like this would happen, but I didn't expect it to happen. Fortunately, Li Xiang had a smile on his face. If he had shown any dissatisfaction, wouldn't all our efforts in this period of time be in vain?
After receiving the order from His Majesty the King, the four eunuchs quickly ran back. The Queen was also a sensible person. When she saw the team stop, she knew it was time to separate. At this time, she could only push Princess Yongning out. She no longer had the strength to see her off in person, so she ordered someone to drive the carriage to the royal city immediately.
"this…"
Seeing that the queen did not come over, Princess Yongning came over accompanied by her sister. The King of Nanzhao felt a little embarrassed. After all, Li Xiang was leaving, and a queen should come over and say a few words. Now, in order not to shed tears with his daughter, he actually went back to the palace early.
"It's understandable. After all, she's my own flesh and blood. If my own daughter behaves like this someday, she might not even behave as well as the queen. We're on our way now. Your Majesty, please go back. Everyone, please go back."
Li Xiang saw Princess Yongning and her sister, as well as Duan Hai's youngest son, get on the carriage. There was nothing else to do at the moment. Su Dingfang also nodded, indicating that everything was ready and they should set off for Chang'an.
It is said that Li Xiang has been away from Chang'an for quite some time this time. He has spent such a long time in Sichuan, solving the problems of the four great chieftains, and then learning about the affairs of Nanzhao here. It is unknown how much fun has happened in Chang'an City. After all, it is now the center of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xiang now wants to return to Chang'an City.
"Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Except for the King of Nanzhao, everyone else got off their cars or horses. If the King of Nanzhao was not Li Xiang's father-in-law, he would have to get off his horse at this moment. Everyone bent their waists, which was also a respect for the third-in-command of the suzerain state.
Li Xiang nodded slightly, then slapped his horse's butt hard, and then walked at the front of the team. Behind him were the people who were guarding Li Xiang, and then Princess Yongning's carriage.
When a lot of dust was raised at the scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although they smiled like flowers in front of Li Xiang, most of them were not feeling very good in their hearts. Only after Li Xiang left did these people feel relieved. After all, Li Xiang was the Crown Prince of the suzerain country. If something happened on this land, according to the current code of conduct of the Tang Dynasty, it is very likely that their country would be destroyed.
So when Li Xiang left, these people felt relieved. Now Li Xiang has left us safely. Even if something happened on the way, it has nothing to do with us. We can finally return to the previous situation and live a good life again.
Of course, this is what most people think. Only a small number of people have a very keen sense of politics. Do you really think you can live a good life now? I'm afraid some things are not that simple. Just look at the changes in the entire capital. His Royal Highness got everything he wanted, and the Prince of Zhennan lost a lot of land on the surface, but can the Prince of Zhennan just endure it?
The battle between His Majesty the King and the Prince of Zhennan may have just begun. In the past, His Majesty the King did not have such strong strength, so facing the aggressive Prince of Zhennan, His Majesty the King could only listen obediently. Now that he has the support of His Majesty the Crown Prince, will His Majesty the King continue to listen?
After leaving the royal city for a distance, Li Xiang sat in the carriage. It would not be impossible for Li Xiang to ride back, but Princess Yongning was feeling uncomfortable. If he did not go over to comfort her, it would seem that Li Xiang was too unkind. She had just left her parents and relatives, and what she needed at this time was Li Xiang's consideration.
The carriage was very spacious. Although Princess Yongping was also there, Li Xiang did not feel very crowded after coming in. There was still a lot of space next to it. At this moment, the two sisters were crying. It was also the first time for Princess Yongping to leave the Nanzhao Royal City. However, unlike Princess Yongning, Princess Yongping could come back later.
But if Princess Yongning wants to come back, it may not be that easy. If Li Xiang is willing, she may have the opportunity to come back to visit her relatives in the future, but if Li Xiang is not willing, she will have to say goodbye to her hometown in this life. This was the same result for some princesses who got married in the past.
Although Princess Yongping had talked to Li Xiang in private, she felt a little cramped when they were in the same carriage together. So when Li Xiang came in, Princess Yongping was ready to leave quickly. The two sisters each had their own carriage. If they wanted to spend the night outside, it would be better to stay in a carriage, so they prepared their own carriage before leaving.
No one knew how Li Xiang coaxed her, but by lunchtime, there were no traces of tears on Princess Yongning's face. In fact, this was not difficult for Li Xiang, because this guy came from modern society. As long as he used his brain a little, such things would be very simple for him.
We are now twenty-five miles away from the royal city, and it is noon, so Li Xiang ordered us to have lunch. Since we are not on a forced march, there is no need to eat on horseback. It happens that this place is not far from a county town, so Li Xiang sent people to buy something to eat to save us the trouble of making a fire and cooking.
Princess Yongning also heard from others that there might be no Nanzhao food in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. While she was still on her own land, Princess Yongning wanted to eat as much as she could.
