Chapter 180: Treasure Staff Carvings and Seven Treasure Balls

Lu Weng ordered Ji Lan to prepare gorgeous and expensive costumes, and Ji Lan dressed up and performed on the stage.

This costume is woven with gold silk, glittering with jewels, embroidered with clouds, cranes and flying swallows, and studded with emerald jade pearls.

Ji Lan was dressed up as if she were in heaven and on earth, enchanting the country and the city. She moved lightly on the lotus steps, appeared on the stage and showed off her singing and dancing skills. As her eyes moved, all living beings were turned upside down.

Lu Weng was so fascinated by what he saw that he forgot about the people around him and almost drooled.

In the audience, Hongjian frowned. Seeing that Lu Weng was so obsessed with Ji Lan, he was already filled with anger. However, Ji Lan seemed to have nothing to do with the world on stage, and she only performed for the sake of art.

After the song ended and everyone left, Lu Weng waved his hand and rewarded Ji Lan with countless gold, silver and jewels. Hongjian angrily wanted to go forward to argue, but was blocked by the servants, so he had to watch Ji Lan follow Lu Weng into the inner room.

Hung Chien waited anxiously outside, his heart was as sharp as a knife, and he could not rest for a moment.

Finally, half an hour later, Ji Lan stepped out, her expression as usual, nothing unusual.

Hongjian stepped forward and asked with concern: "Jilan, have you ever been bullied by Mr. Lu?"

Ji Lan shook his head and smiled, saying, "It's okay, everything is fine."

Hongjian wanted to say something else, but his heart was hanging in a knot, but seeing that Ji Lan looked relaxed and relaxed, and didn't look like he was being bullied, he had no choice but to give up.

Hongjian did not want Lu Weng's reward, but Ji Lan said: "You are stupid. We have a long way to go to Chang'an. We are poor and rich, so we just use these gold and silver jewelry as capital."

Hongjian thought about it too.

So, the two took Lu Weng's reward and left side by side.

Three days later, before the morning bell rang, the whole Lu family was wailing loudly. It turned out that Lu Weng died suddenly at night. When the servant found him, his face was blue and purple, his orifices were bleeding, and his death was miserable. This incident shocked the entire mansion, and no one knew about it.

The government sent people to investigate, but since there were no signs of outsiders entering or leaving Lu Weng's home, and Ji Lan and Hongjian had left three days ago, there was no way to investigate. Then let it go.

……

Yang Yunu opened his eyes and looked around blankly for a moment. The sight gradually focused, and those familiar pavilions and pavilions gradually came into view, all of which revealed the unique magnificence of Prince Shou's Mansion. She was shocked, unable to believe that she had returned to the place she thought she had left.

Hasn't she already escaped from Prince Shou's Mansion?
And he hid in the Persian temple.

Why are you back?

Yang Yunu wanted to remember, but had a splitting headache and couldn't remember anything.

Yang Yunu was angry. She stood up and hurriedly walked through the winding corridor. Everywhere evoked her disgust and memories. Suddenly, a familiar call made her stop.

"Yu Nu, are you back?" The voice was low and full of surprise, and it turned out to be the Shou Wang she once hated.

Yang Yunu turned around and saw King Shou standing by the lotus pond not far away, wearing a brocade robe and smiling, as if nothing had changed. However, in Yang Yunu's eyes at this moment, this smile was tantamount to a devil's smile.

"Why am I here?" Yang Yunu asked in a deep voice, his gaze like a knife directed at King Shou.

Prince Shou seemed to be aware of her anger and displeasure. He took a step forward and said softly: "Yu Nu, you are the treasure of my Prince Shou Mansion. How can I let you suffer outside? No matter where you go, you will always be Want to come back."

After hearing this, Yang Yunu felt that it was extremely absurd. She snorted coldly and said: "I am not your property, let alone a treasure. I want to leave, and no one can keep me!" After saying that, she turned to leave.

King Shou's expression changed, as if he didn't expect Yang Yunu to be so decisive. He hurriedly said: "Yu Nu, don't be impulsive. This is your home!" "Home?" Yang Yunu sneered, "My home will never be a cage with gold cages and silver locks. I would rather be free outside. I don't want to be trapped here anymore." Before she finished speaking, she left quickly, leaving King Shou with a stunned look on his face.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to step out of the house, an invisible force suddenly pulled her, making her unable to move. Yang Yunu struggled, but found that this force was so powerful that he could not break free.

"Let me go!" she shouted angrily.

"Yu Nu, do you think you can leave so easily?" King Shou's voice sounded in her ears, with an unmistakable coldness.

Yang Yunu knew something was wrong, and knew that by marrying this man, she had fallen into an inescapable barrier.

She closed her eyes, secretly gathering her inner strength, and prepared to fight again.

But Prince Shou held her tighter and tighter, almost suffocating her.

While the two were arguing, the maid came to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go to the polo field near Huaqing Palace to play polo together."

The saint invites you, Yang Yunu's heart suddenly beats.

……

Usually, the saint always plays ball at the court at the east end of Beiyuan of Deyang Palace. Yang Yunu went there once with King Shou.

There, the bats or mallets used in polo are made of gold, the horse gear is luxurious, and the saddles are made of jade. Polo is made of gold, silver, colored glaze, agate, red beads, amber, and roses. Made of seven precious materials.

Cai Fu, a living man, wrote a poem to record the luxury of the polo field: a golden hammer, jade, and a thousand pieces of gold, a staff with seven treasures carved on it...

The saint had a great interest in polo. He believed that this sport was not only a recreational activity, but also played a role in training soldiers' physical fitness and riding skills.

Therefore, the Beiyuan Stadium of Deyang Palace was a little smaller and could no longer meet the saint's land needs for playing polo. Therefore, the saint ordered people to expand the polo ground of Huaqing Palace and organized army soldiers to hold polo matches here to enhance the strength of the people. The military's combat effectiveness and morale also demonstrate its authority and influence.

The saint liked the sport of polo so much that some foreign countries who visited the Li Dynasty during the season often presented the saint with good polo horses to show their sincerity.

King Shou and Princess Shou did not dare to delay the order of the saint, so they took a carriage and went to Huaqing Palace.

Passing through the fortified city walls and grand city gates, the Royal Mile is lined with rows of willows and poplars, providing shade for the midsummer journey.

After leaving the hustle and bustle of the capital, farmland and villages in the suburbs appeared before us. Farmers were working in the fields. The crops in the farmland were lush and green, showing the scene of a bumper harvest.

Chang'an City is getting further and further away, and Lishan Mountain is getting closer and closer.

Along the way, there were other people going to Huaqing Palace, including officials, envoys, literati and traders. They were either riding cars or riding horses, and they were constantly flowing and busy.

Looking at Lishan Mountain from a distance, its undulating mountains and green forests form a beautiful natural picture.

When approaching Huaqing Palace, I saw mist rising in the distance. It was the water vapor from Huaqing Hot Spring, which looked particularly mysterious under the sunlight.

The carriage soon entered the grounds of Huaqing Palace. Through the curtains of the carriage, one could see the palace's architectural complex scattered at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain. The cornices, carved beams and painted buildings showed the luxury and sophistication of the royal garden.

Yang Yunu's troubled heart gradually calmed down along the journey.

She suddenly felt that she had made the right choice by running away from home and then coming back.

If she didn't come back, how could she come to Huaqing Palace and get close to the one in her heart?
