The 'adulterers and whores' were whispering on the grassy slope not far away. To their left, several large golden-roofed tents were placed by a small river, where there were more bonfires and busy figures. The favorite activities of the Manchu people who were horseback riding and archery were hunting in the wild and bonfire parties. Huang Taiji, who was not in good health, also traveled several times a year. Naturally, every time he brought his family and his entourage, he was accompanied by a large number of people. The royal guards were several miles away, and there were a total of 10,000 cavalry of the royal bodyguards taking care of them, so they were absolutely foolproof.
"Hua Gu'er, look at the birds in the sky, how free they are." At this time, Princess Gu Lun, a little Tatar dressed in men's clothing, seemed unusually quiet and quiet. []
Yi Zhihua touched her equally shiny forehead, looked at the falcon in the distance and nodded. To this day, she still can't adapt to the sacrifice of losing half of her hair, and feels annoyed every time she touches her scalp. What made her even more depressed was Princess Gu Lun beside her. Even a fool could see that she had a crush on her, so why did she have to be ordered to pick up girls?
"Hua Gu'er." Suddenly, Princess Gu Lun lowered her voice and said nervously: "You, you, do you like me?"
?? Touching her scalp in depression, Yihua almost jumped up. After half a year of delay, what was supposed to come finally came. Today was the first time the princess confessed to herself, and this was what she had been worried about.
"This, this, haha, look, Erzi's big painted face, hahaha." Yi Zhihua looked around and could only slap it. Suddenly, Yi Zhihua's voice lowered, and she was stunned when she looked at the princess with tears in her eyes.
"You, you, don't cry, I", Yi Zhihua was a little in a hurry. After getting along for half a year, Yi Zhihua also liked this kind-hearted tomboy princess a lot, and she worked with Zhuo Bufan's secret work. She also secretly received a lot of help from Princess Gu Lun. As a daughter, Yi Zhihua will naturally not have feelings for men and women, but the more she likes this sister, the more guilty she feels in her heart.
Gu Lun is indeed different today. The manly unruly boldness has disappeared, and there is more of a daughter's gentleness and weakness. As soon as she lowered her head, Princess Gu Lun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and murmured like a gnat: "I know you like me too, why can't you tell me. Do you know that I, I will leave soon."
"Huh? Where to go?" Yi Zhihua understood that Gu Lun meant something by leaving.
"Hey." Gu Lun sighed in a rare way and said: "My father has betrothed me to King Darkhan. In three days, Horqin's bride will arrive."
For a moment, Yi Zhihua fell silent, and an extremely sad mood arose spontaneously. Through the past six months of living in the Qing Dynasty base camp, she had learned that one of the most important means for the imperial court to consolidate its rule was marriage. This and Dahua's is almost the same as Qin's. There is absolutely no so-called freedom of marriage for the children of the royal family. This is not only the sorrow of being the heirs of the royal family, but also their responsibility.
The aroma of roasted lamb filled the air. The guard on the side used a small blade to remove the fattest part. Zhuo Bufan brought it over on a silver platter. As foreign Han people, they were absolutely not allowed to carry weapons, especially When accompanying the royal family and relatives.
"Wow, it smells so good, try our craftsmanship." Zhuo Bufan put down the silver plate and wiped the putty on his face with the sleeves of his robe, which turned him into a painted face. Gu Lun and Yi Zhihua looked at Zhuo Bufan and laughed, and the originally dull atmosphere became much better. Zhuo Bufan had already shaved off his beard, leaving only two small mustaches. This was also to conceal his identity. Fortunately, he never saw Dorgon again since then. As two Han Chinese from the foreign government, how could he have seen Dorgon? An opportunity for an important minister like Ergon. The current mustache paired with the big painted face really makes people laugh.
The three of them took the mutton and started eating it. Zhuo Bufan soon discovered that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After half a year of getting along, the three of them have become good friends who talk about everything. But today, both Yi Zhihua and Gu Lun seemed a little quiet. Zhuo Bufan looked at Yi Zhi Hua very suspiciously, with a meaningful look on his face, which soon made Yi Zhi Hua unable to resist, and naturally he quickly understood the reason. The Manchus are not as particular about the protection between men and women as Dahua. Even a princess can chat happily with two Han people, but when it comes to marriage, it becomes very different, which means that the three of them have given up on race. Good friends are about to face a painful separation.
What can be done, although now Zhuo Bufan and Yi Zhihua¡¯s feelings for Princess Gu Lun have long transcended the boundaries between ethnic groups and enemies, and are more about the harmony and joy between the three young people. But facing this situation now, I feel really helpless. For the royal family, marriage is just a small matter, but for ordinary people and parties involved, it is a big deal. Even if the Manchus are not as strict about the protection of men and women as Dahua, but like Princess Gu Lun To escape like this at this time is also a serious incident that humiliates the face and will inevitably lead to serious consequences.
a flowerHe and Zhuo Bufan wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads in unison and stared blankly at Gu Lun, who took a bite of mutton in an unladylike way.
"You are my best friends." Princess Gu Lun seemed to have decided on an important matter: "What do you think I should do?"
Zhuo Bufan scratched his bright forehead and Yi Zhihua lowered his head. Without the big tree of Princess Gu Lun, life in Jianzhou would not have been so easy. After half a year of getting along, Princess Gu Lun's innocence, liveliness, kindness and innocence moved Zhuo Bufan and Yi Zhihua. Especially Zhuo Bufan became more and more fond of this young man who has the natural innocence of a man and the kindness of a Chinese woman. Girls, in comparison, Zhuo Bufan even felt that Gu Lun's character was closer to those outstanding girls in his previous life, and was naturally similar to his own character. However, after all, this was a society hundreds of years ago. Both he and Gu Lun were actually incompatible with this society. The difference was that he relied on this to dominate the country, but Gu Lun could only accept being regulated by society. tragic ending.
Unless, Zhuo Bufan's heart moved, but he hesitated a little. In this case, the seemingly promising thing might be wasted, and half a year's hard work might be in vain.
"Unless, run away." Yi Zhihua suddenly said, speaking what Zhuo Bufan was thinking.
Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He had always been unruly and decisive, but why was he so hesitant this time? Didn't he want to follow his heart? Didn't he want to protect the people he cared about and loved from harm? Princess Gu Lun He is his friend, so why do he consider the achievement of the mission instead of the happiness and safety of his friend? Could it be that I am also being changed by this world unknowingly? No, this is not me, nor is it what I want.
Princess Gu Lun naturally didn¡¯t know what Zhuo Bufan was thinking. At this moment, she showed a happy smile. Zhuo Bufan suddenly realized: ¡°Princess Gu Lun, haven¡¯t you thought about it a long time ago?¡±
Gu Lun showed his little fangs, smiled proudly and said: "This is my good friend, what do you say in Chinese, well, from now on, we are all grasshoppers on the same line, don't call me I am Princess Gu Lun, that is a title, my name is Jingduan, you can just call me Jingduan."
The night was getting darker, and at the edge of the continuous tents in the camp, the two teams of patrolling soldiers just passed through a gap, and the three horses slowly and quietly walked out of the camp as if at a leisurely pace, and soon disappeared into the night. With Yi Zhihua's ears and eyes, the seemingly tight warning circle like a bucket naturally did not play its due role. When Jingduan's happy snickers rang out, the three of them were already on horseback, walking back and forth on the short slope outside Li Xu. Watching the campfire adorn the silent campground. At this time, Jingduan concealed the excitement of breaking the taboo, and his eyes showed sadness.
"Huang Ama, Huang Aniang, Jingduan is unfilial and leaves without saying goodbye today. Please forgive me." Tears flashed in his eyes and finally fell.
Zhuo Bufan sighed. Although he would definitely choose to do this, he was a little frustrated when he failed, but when he saw Jingduan crying and sad but showing freedom and relaxation, he knew that he had done the right thing. He said: "Don't be sad, Jingduan, you still have so many sisters and brothers, your parents will understand you. Hey, what is that?"
While speaking, on the horseback on this short slope, Zhuo Bufan saw under the moonlight, due east of the camp, a large piece of green grass parted silently, making no sound in the night, which was strange and unusual.
