Chapter 31 The Princess Arrives (Part 2)
The promotion found a few clothes from the inner room. When he came out and saw Princess Yuling in Liu Yixuan's room, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please pay tribute to the princess!"
"Give it aside!" Ling'er asked Liu Yixuan again, "Who is he?"
"He is my follower. This kid is familiar with the capital. I take him with me every time I go out!" As he said that, he brought the clothes in his hand. "Look at how these clothes are, you can choose one to put on!"
"Ah? Let me wear your clothes? I don't wear them, I don't wear them!" Ling'er looked at the clothes and shook her head.
"What? Why don't we go out if you don't wear it? We are dressed like you. It will definitely attract attention when we get on the street. We can't even go out of the mansion. So hurry up and change it!"
"But, these clothes look so ugly, I don't want to wear them!" She pouted and was not very happy.
"Who said it's ugly? You see, I'm pretty handsome in my clothes? How can it be ugly? If you don't wear it, just stay in the mansion honestly!"
"Okay okay, then I'll put it on, but I'll change my clothes, you are not allowed to peek!" Ling'er warned.
Liu Yixuan felt ridiculous after hearing this and said, "Okay, okay, I won't peek, who's too scary to see it! Hurry up, pick all the hairpins and flowers on your head, make your hair like me, there are hair bunches and forehead smears on the platform in my inner room. You can dress up yourself, we'll wait for you outside!"
After listening to Liu Yixuan's instructions, Ling'er had no choice but to choose a men's clothing, close the door, and run to the inner room to change it.
Liu Yixuan waited in the yard for a long time, but did not see Ling'er coming out. Then he asked her through the window: "Hey, beauty, have you done it? It's already noon, and it's dark after all!"
"Okay, okay, that's fine, let's wait a little longer!" Ling'er shouted inside.
"It's really trouble for a woman. Can I use it for a long time if I change my clothes?" Liu Yixuan was a little impatient.
He was worried when he was promoted and watched. He didn't know what tricks his young master was going to do, so he asked him: "Young Master, do we really want to take the princess out? If the master knows..."
"Only the three of us know about this. If I don't say it, you won't say it, and the girl won't say it. How could my father know about it? It's okay!"
At this time, the door opened, Ling'er changed her clothes and walked out. Liu Yixuan looked at her and looked at her with a handsome scholar's outfit, with a white face still showing some powdery smell.
"Oh, I really can't tell. You are still so pretty when you wear men's clothes. It's true that you are born with beauty!" Liu Yixuan praised.
Ling'er was a little shy when she heard this. She smiled and glanced at Liu Yixuan, blushed and said, "Oh, I said I don't want to wear it. You have to let me wear it. It's so ugly!"
"It's not ugly, it's not ugly at all. You are a standard young master now. I'll go to the street with me later to see if any girl from a family likes you!" Liu Yixuan joked with her.
"What are you saying? If you talk nonsense, I will tell my aunt to go!" Ling'er didn't like him saying that.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore. Don't be angry. Let's go out now. I'll take you to the east of the city!"
The three of them came out of the mansion and came all the way east. After passing the old Caomen, it was Dongcheng District. Dongcheng was the most prosperous area of Bianjing City. It was not only a place for canal ships to load and unload goods, but also a place where merchants gathered from all over the country. Although many merchants were worried about the war and moved their families to other places, Bianliang City was still the capital of the emperors, and many vendors still set up stalls on the streets, and the shops on both sides of the street were still making a living.
Even though the streets are not as prosperous as before, they have no effect on Princess Yuling's enthusiasm for traveling. She has visited every shop on the street, and sometimes she goes to the tavern to watch others drink, sometimes she goes to the antique shop and then points to the antique shop. Sometimes she runs to the pharmacy and stares at the gentleman helps the patient take his pulse, and sometimes she goes to the silk shop to see the fresh tricks...
Liu Yixuan followed her closely behind her butt, not letting her run around, but this princess was naturally stubborn and couldn't stop her. She had to burrow around the crowd, and everything was so fresh. Liu Yixuan accompanied her to visit two blocks in a row, and her feet were sore. She bought a bunch of snacks, snacks, kites, and fan lists. Her hands were full of promotion, and she complained.
Liu Yixuan quickly grabbed Ling'er and panted and said, "Auntie, let's stop shopping, please let my brother rest for a while!"
"Brother Xuan, are you tired?" Ling'er asked him with blinking eyes.
"I'm tired, I'm almost out of my way, I can't walk anymore! Don't run to other people's shops anymore, okay, and you can still touch other people's things! I told you that I've spent all my money on it. I don't have any money to buy anything else, so you can rest for a while!"
Seeing Liu Yixuan trying hard to persuade him, Ling'er calmed down when she saw his tired look on his face and sat on the stone bench by the river to rest.
This section of the Bian River is beautiful. Several village women were washing clothes and washing rice by the river. The merchant ship passing by the river was greeting the pedestrians on the shore. Ling'er saw a passenger ship undulating in the middle of the river and hurriedly shouted to the people above: "Boatman, where are you going?"
A reply came from afar on the boat, "Little brother, we are going to Jiangnan!"
"What are you doing in Jiangnan?" Ling'er asked him curiously.
"Of course, it's a refuge. The Jin soldiers are about to attack Bianliang City. We have to hide quickly!" The people on the boat replied to her from afar.
"Take refuge? What's the difficulty?" Ling'er said to herself. She didn't know that the Song Dynasty's country had already been in turmoil, and his father and brother were about to become the king of the destruction of the country!
"Hey, why are you..."
"Okay, stop shouting, everyone is gone!" Liu Yixuan quickly stopped her ignorant behavior, because he didn't want this lovely sister to hear the news that the Song Dynasty was about to fall.
"Oh! Why are they going so fast? I still want to talk to them!"
"What are you saying? Just calm down for a while! Stay here!" Liu Yixuan's tone was mixed with blame, not wanting her to attract too much attention from others.
The three of them were resting by the river, but they heard the sound of drums and drums at the city gate. Many nearby people ran over to watch. Ling'er could not miss the excitement. She quickly got up and ran over. Liu Yixuan reached out to grab her but failed, so she had to follow her and chase her.
"Hey hey! Auntie, run slowly..."
When Liu Yixuan arrived at the gate of the city, he saw many officers and soldiers posting notices. A group of people stretched their heads around the notice. Liu Yixuan squeezed into the crowd and grabbed Ling'er's hand, fearing that she would lose it. He looked up at the notice, which read:
Kaifeng Prefecture Order: From tomorrow, the whole city of Bianliang City will be martial law. Anyone who leaves the city will only be released at three hours, Si, Wu, and Wu, and those who enter the city will be strictly investigated. This move is intended to prevent Jin spies from entering the city. Kaifeng people can reduce their travel in the near future. Don’t go outside the city to prevent accidents!
A few literate people read the notice, which caused the onlookers to talk. They were not afraid that martial law in the whole city would cause inconvenience to them, but they were worried that the Jin soldiers would attack Bianliang City.
Several people discussed: "I heard that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River and were about to reach Kaifeng City. Everyone should run away quickly!" Another sighed: "The Song Dynasty is over, how can we live in the future!"
