Chapter 197 Matouqin and Xun

They followed Yilan and Irgen towards the paddock, with the prince reluctantly falling behind.Yan Shiyi was a few steps ahead of him, looked back, then stopped and waited for him.

Yan Shishi winked at the prince and said with a smile: "Princess Yilan is not ugly, and she has a cheerful personality. You don't have to be so downcast, right? After all, you got it back by going to the ring in person, with real fists and real legs."

The prince glanced at him: "What do you know?!"

Yan Shiyi sneered: "I don't understand? I don't understand why you always stare at the Crown Princess."

"I wasn't watching," the prince denied guiltily.

"I can't even think about it!" Yan Shishi ignored him and strode forward with his hands behind his back.

This is the most southeastern paddock in Wala. Every winter, they drive their cattle and sheep here to spend the winter.Before I even got there, I could hear the "moo" and "bah" sounds.

Ling Yun and Ling Shuang, two brothers and sisters, before they met the third prince, they herded sheep for others. When they saw the lamb, they were very kind and they both picked up the lamb skillfully.

"Your Majesty, look! The pink tongue is so cute." Shuang'er smiled and showed Haitang a lamb that was only a few days old.Haitang went over to stroke its head, and the little goat screamed childishly.

Xie Ruitang tugged on her sleeve and reminded her: "Don't touch it, be careful, it will bite you!"

"I've never heard that sheep can bite people." Haitang rolled his eyes at him, then grabbed his hand, intending to touch the lamb with his hand, giggling, "I see if it bites you or not."

Xie Ruitang also smiled, held her hand with his backhand, and hugged her from behind: "You look like an adult in the palace, but you look like a child when you go out."

Yilan looked at the two of them with envy, sighed and said, "Only when you are with the person you love, you become like a child." After saying that, she secretly glanced at Xie Yuanhu, who was expressionless.

"I wonder how my brother and the others are doing over there?" Haitang asked as he walked.

"It should be settled." Xie Ruitang said: "Vice Dong will bring [-] infantry to reinforce."

"Their 10 people walked out of the customs and surrounded them from behind. The second Tartar prince probably didn't know that his father was dead, otherwise he would have withdrawn his troops and gone back to seize the throne." Yan Shiyi continued: "I'm afraid your brother is already dead. Withdraw the troops back to the Zhili Army and directly take over the Guards."

"So we have to rush back as soon as possible. Get up tomorrow morning, pack up and set off." Xie Ruitang said, taking a look at Haitang, who was dressed in a foreign dress and full of energy, and suddenly felt that it would be better if he didn't wear luxurious palace clothes and a head full of red. She is so beautiful with flowers and jade.

"So you can sleep in tomorrow morning?" Ling Xue asked wittily.

Xie Ruitang smiled and said, "Irgen invites you to drink tonight, don't you dare not have fun?"

Irgen, who was next to him, said hurriedly: "That's right! We're leaving tomorrow, and we must not get drunk or sleep tonight."

Princess Yilan was a little anxious. She looked at Xie Yuanqi and pouted and said, "I haven't packed my things yet. Can't you leave a day later?"

Xie Yuanxi replied quite seriously: "We are leaving, and you don't have to follow. It doesn't matter if you pack up slowly later, and then go to Beijing slowly."

Princess Yilan was silent and kicked the pebbles on the ground hard.At this time, the guards of King Wala came and said that they were preparing to hold a banquet, and asked the prince to hurry over.

In front of the big tent, a bonfire has already been lit in the open space in the middle of the camp, and a whole sheep is being roasted on a large wooden shelf.There is a circle of tables around the bonfire, and a group of girls in costumes are putting wine jars and bowls on the table.

After everyone sat down, King Wala picked up a bowl of wine and said, "This is the first bowl of wine tonight. To our distinguished Crown Prince and Crown Princess, I wish the Heavenly Kingdom a prosperous country and a strong people, peace and prosperity!" Everyone drank it. All.Haitang tasted it and found that the kumiss was sweet.So I happily drank it all.

"This is the second bowl of wine tonight," King Wala said again, "To the warriors of our celestial dynasty, I wish you outstanding military exploits and leave your name in history!" Everyone drank it down in one gulp.

Haitang wanted to drink, but the prince quietly stopped him and whispered: "You are not a warrior. Only warriors drink. Why are you joining in the fun!"

"This is the third bowl of wine tonight. To our Prince Consort of Wala, His Royal Highness the Prince of De, I wish you and our beautiful prairie princess Yilan, a long life together and a hundred years of love!" King Wala said happily, holding up the bowl.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, the prince had no choice but to stand up and drink it all with an expression on his face.Yilan, who was next to King Wala, was very happy. She glanced at the prince shyly and drank a bowl.She was used to drinking kumis, but she found today's wine to be particularly sweet.

After three bowls of wine, everyone toasted to each other.The princes and generals of Wala came to propose a toast to the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince stopped the wine bowls that everyone extended, pulled the Crown Princess behind him and said to her: "It's not a woman's business to drink. You go out for a walk!" Haitang pursed her lips. He smiled and left.

After everyone toasted with wine, they heard the sound of the matouqin, and Yilan and several Wala girls danced in from outside the venue. For a moment, the skirts on the court were billowing and the headscarves were flying.Everyone stopped toasting and clapped their hands along with the music, beating the time for Elan.

Yilan's mother was a famous beauty in Wala. She was danced into the arms of King Wala and became the princess.Following her mother's instructions, Yilan's dancing is as famous as her beauty in the grassland.

When the dance music stopped, Yilan spun around and jumped to the Crown Prince's table. She offered him a bowl of wine and spoke a string of Olay language. The Crown Prince was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what she said. He just took the wine and spoke again. Drink it all.Seeing that the prince was drinking, Yilan ran away shyly.

"Elan took a fancy to you, so she toasted you with a drink. She said: If you like her too, I'll treat you to her drink." Irgen explained with a smile.Xie Yuanhu wanted to hold his forehead and cry for a while.What breaks the rules?No one told me!If you have the ability, can you ask me in Chinese?Besides, can I spit out this wine?

The Wala people applauded Princess Yilan without stopping. Suddenly, an ethereal voice came from outside the venue, and a melodious and slightly sad piece of music entered everyone's ears.Xunyin looked around and saw the Crown Princess slowly walking into the venue while playing the xun.

The xun is smaller than other wind instruments, and Haitang has one in her saddle bag.Just now she saw Princess Yilan performing a dance for everyone with the accompaniment of the Morin Fhuur. On a whim, she also found a Xun to give the Han musical instruments a place.

Xie Ruitang stood up and greeted Haitang.The two stood face to face in the middle of the field, with tenderness between their brows and eyes.Haitang's song also became brisk.When the song ended, everyone applauded and congratulated.

Yilan asked strangely: "What kind of song is this? Why does it sound a bit desolate like ours outside the Great Wall at the beginning, but then it turns into relaxed and happy?"

"This is called 'Yangguan Sandie'. It is originally a song to say goodbye to friends as they leave Yangguan in the west to express the sadness in their hearts. But someone happened to make trouble, so the farewell person had to accompany his friend out of Yangguan, and his beloved was there. Together, no matter where we are, we will naturally feel happy." Haitang replied with a smile.

Xie Ruitang naturally knew the meaning of her words, and smiled: "With me here, you don't need to be sad at any time." Everyone laughed.

Xie Yuan's wine was a little over the top, he stared blankly at Haitang, his eyes were full of sadness that he couldn't love, as if Haitang played the song just for him.

He involuntarily raised his feet to go to Haitang, but was pulled hard by Yan Shiyi next to him. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you drank too much! I will take you back to the tent." After that, he pulled you. The prince, half carried on his shoulders, walked towards his tent.

"I obviously like Xun, but you still want me to choose the Morin Qin. What I like is Xun." The prince soon became drunker after drinking a lot, and he leaned on Yan Shiyi and said casually.

Yan Shizi carried the prince into his tent and threw the prince on the floor. He put his hands on his hips and sighed heavily at the prince: "Even if you like Xun, Xun already belongs to someone else, even if you don't like it. Matouqin, you are not qualified to touch that xun!"

Unexpectedly, Yilan, who came here to see the prince, heard their conversation outside the tent.

Yilan instantly understood what the Xun and Matouqin were referring to.

She felt lost.
