Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight - Chapter 164

Yaoying and Yuanjue talked, and went to the silk shop to meet with the envoy of the country of Malu.

She knew that the envoy of Maru was coming, but she didn’t know the exact date before, and she didn’t know who the other party would send.

Judging from the messenger’s message, the person who came is likely to be a deceased person.

The Hu businessmen in the shop are entertaining guests. In the private room on the second floor, all kinds of valerian cloths, light yarns, silk brocades, tufts, folded branches, glittering colors, lotus patterns, dragon patterns, cranes and grass patterns, and swastikas Shuangsheng-patterned brocade satin is hung one by one on a pole. The color is rich and gorgeous, and the pattern is huge and bright. It is placed under the window to let the sun shine, and the room is colorful and golden.

The distinguished guest held a piece of tulle in his hand, looking dazzled, and sighed: “The craftsmen in Handi are really ingenious. The flowers, birds, insects and beasts on the light gauze brocade are like living things, and the landscape and pavilions are in front of them. How much does Ling Luo ask for?”

Yaoying stepped forward surrounded by her own soldiers, hearing the words, said: “If Princess Manda likes it, these will be given to the princess.”

The woman sitting next to the window turned her head, a bright and incomprehensible face, wrapped in light gauze, draped in gold colored silk on her shoulders, head covered with sapphires, arms and wrists were engraved and inlaid with serge gold bracelets, a pair of gray-green The eyes glowed amber in the sunlight.

She looked at Yaoying for a moment, and the corner of her mouth raised her mouth: “Princess, I am not the princess of Viramura now.”

Yaoying smiled. She asked her guard downstairs: “Then how should I call the princess?”

Princess Manda smiled and stood up to meet Yaoying.

“Thanks to the princess, I am now the princess of Maru.”

When these words were spoken, many years of bitter and humiliation came to Princess Manda’s heart.

…

Although she was named a princess, because she was a maiko’s daughter, her status was low, and she was tamed and raised as a maiko by the queen, and served people with beauty. At first, she wanted to charm the Buddha with her beauty, so as to get rid of Viramara’s control, but the Buddha was unmoved. Annoyed, she started from Princess Wen Zhao, trying to use the princess to achieve her goals, but the princess categorically refused.

Princess Manda left the palace in embarrassment.

Before leaving the city, Princess Wen Zhao found her and negotiated a deal with her.

The princess helped her realize her ambitions. She helped the princess facilitate the trade between the kingdom of Maru and the states of the Western Regions, and protected the caravans of the Wei Dynasty.

At first, Princess Manda doubted whether Princess Wen Zhao was teasing herself, but at the time she was desperate and didn’t want to return to Viramara to be humiliated, so she agreed to Princess Wen Zhao’s proposal with the mentality of giving it a try.

She went to Maru.

That day, the people in the caravan reminded Princess Manda to put on the dress Yaoying gave her. When she appeared outside the city of Maru in a light veil, the officials of Maru were stunned.

“Goddess is here!”

The kingdom of Malu was just a small oasis country, and the news soon reached the ears of the king. The king was ecstatic and ordered people to cover the ground with a golden carpet and go out of the city to greet Princess Manda in person.

The leader of the caravan smiled at the puzzled Princess Manda, “Princess Wen Zhao has been arranged. The king has already seen your beautiful dance from the painting, and has been fascinated by you for a long time. Princess, when you return to the palace, you can help The king danced a dance.”

The king of Maru is obsessed with dancing. After seeing the paintings depicting Princess Manda dancing sent by the caravan, he thought day and night that he only hated that the beauty in the painting was a goddess, and mortals would never see it.

At this time, the caravan arranged for a wizard to advise the king that as long as he prayed sincerely, the gods would be touched, and the goddess of his dreams would come to the world.

When everything was ready, the caravan showed up with Princess Manda.

The king rejoiced.

When Princess Manda heard the caravan’s various arrangements, her blood boiled with enthusiasm: Wang Ting Buddha’s iron heart is a piece of wood that is incomprehensible, a stone-carved Buddha statue, and an iceberg that will never change forever. Maruguo is her. A place to show your skills!

She danced a dance in the Royal Palace of Maru. From the king to the noble officials, she was crazy about her. With Yaoying’s arrangement, with the name “Goddess” added, she soon became the king’s favorite concubine.

Maru is only a small country, but Maru is attached to a powerful empire, and the emperor prefers the king of Maru very much.

She took the opportunity to get rid of the control of Queen Vilamoura.

…

Princess Manda returned to her senses, her eyes circled, full of magnificent and dazzling arrays.

Princess Wen Zhao sat in front of her, more delicate and beautiful than before, Gu Panjian was sassy and heroic, and when she ordered the soldiers, she was graceful.

When she arrived in Maru, the business road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions was still under the control of Bei Rong. At that time, Princess Wen Zhao was preparing for the smooth flow of trade routes in the future. When she captured the King of Maru, the states of the Western Regions, large and small, recovered, and savvy merchants soon gathered in Maru-Maru is the only place that connects the east and the west.

Princess Manda was shocked every time she thought of this.

What she wants is a reliance, and what Princess Wen Zhao seeks is a prosperous business road that spans tens of thousands of miles, connects hundreds of countries, large and small, and benefits all people.

Their requests are so different that the princess is willing to cooperate with someone like her.

Princess Manda laughed at herself, put away her thoughts, her eyes motioned to her attendants.

The attendant took out the credential.

Yaoying’s soldiers stepped forward to receive the credential and passed it to Yaoying. She opened the Chinese copy and read it carefully.

Princess Manda continued to choose Lingluo, and said with a smile: “The princess doesn’t need to read it. The documents are all empty talk about trade and sending envoys. I have hosted everything the princess wants for the public. The Wei Dynasty caravan passed through Maru. Taxes are reduced by 10%. As long as they are within the territory of Maru, the Maru Congress will ensure their safety. The king agreed to the publication of the bibliography that the princess said before. He has issued an edict to allow people to collect ancient books, but the princess must send a trustworthy merchant The team transports those books. Countries have strict controls on books, and merchants are not allowed to buy and sell books in private.”

After reading the document, Yaoying handed it to her soldiers, nodded, and said, “The princess is the one who keeps the contract, but I didn’t expect the princess to come in person.”

She and Princess Manda kept in correspondence. In the last letter, Manda only said that he would send a mission to deliver the credential.

Princess Manda snorted, “If I don’t come to see the princess in person, how can I make the princess believe in my sincerity? And if I have something to ask the princess for help, I must come to see the princess in person.”

“What’s up?”

Yaoying asked, her tone of voice flat, it seemed that no matter what she could do, she would never evade.

In her current status, she does have such confidence.

Princess Manda looked at Yaoying, who was several years younger than herself, and secretly admired her. To cooperate with people like Princess Wen Zhao, it was just as powerful as a tiger.

In the future, the business route will be prosperous, and Maru can profit from it. She has a close relationship with the princess, and she can be more confident in front of Maru officials.

Such a powerful ally, she had to win over her and leave herself a way out.

“Are there still those tulle woven from paintings?”

Princess Manda put the tulle on her shoulders, walked to the mirror stage in the shop, scratching her head and posing, “It’s better than the ones that the princess sent to Maru before.”

Yaoying raised her eyebrows, “Then you have to draw a good version first, and then wait for the embroiderer to weave it. It will take half a year for it to come and go.”

“I can wait.” Princess Manda turned her head and cast a wink at Yaoying, “Now the King of Maru is overwhelmed by me, and he will not despise me in a few years.”

The king loves dancing, and she is confident that with her dancing skills and the means of saving her life these years, she can stand tall in Maru.

Yaoying counted the days, and said, “After five months, the caravan will send things to Maru.”

The corners of Princess Manda’s lips twitched.

“The princess is really happy to do things…”

She paused, and the conversation suddenly changed: “The princess is in the royal court, but can help me get what I want in Maru. Why haven’t I captured the Buddha for so long? After the one-year period expires, she left pitifully? Where did all those tricks go? The princess dared to step into the burning altar of fire, why did she miss it?”

Yaoying was eating tea, she almost choked on hearing this.

Princess Manda shook her head, hating iron and steel, and said: “I came to the royal court personally this time. Apart from thanking the princess in person and asking the princess for some painting, one more thing is to help the princess fulfill my wish!”

Speaking, pat with both hands.

The attendant carried the box forward and opened the lid.

She picked up a booklet and unfolded it, pointing to the men and women who hugged affectionate men and women in various poses on the painting, “Princess, I still have a lot of these treasures. I specially sent someone back to Viramura to search for more treasures. Like, all have brought the royal court, the princess only needs to do what I said, with a little bit of work, she will definitely be able to share the cloud and rain with the Buddha.”

Yaoying glanced around.

The blushing soldiers and Hu Shang retreated.

Princess Manda turned the pamphlet into a clatter: “Princess, I can see that the Buddha is interested in you. Once a man moves his mind, he will definitely have other thoughts. If you burn the fire, you can succeed. “

“You find an opportunity to send other people away, put on a veil, and ask the Buddha with the booklet. Remember, you have to pretend that you don’t understand anything…”

Princess Manda smiled meaningfully.

Princess Wen Zhao, Yan Rushunhua, has an exquisite figure, and Gu Panjian is both smart, innocent and charming. As long as one eye moves, there is a charm that is difficult to describe. She is standing here, and everyone sees her only.

“When the Buddha reacted, the father-in-law leaned forward and asked, Master, why don’t you look at me?”

“The Buddha didn’t answer, so the princess took his hand and put it on herself…”

“Mage, touch me…”

Yaoying’s eyelids twitched lightly, and stopped the more and more nasty princess Manda, “I understand the kindness of the princess, and the princess keeps these treasures for herself.”

Princess Manda put down the booklet: “The princess fulfilled my wish for me, and I also want to do something for the princess.”

Yaoying smiled and shook her head: “I form an alliance with the princess, and the princess only needs to protect the caravan.”

Princess Manda rolled her eyes and said: “The princess is so beautiful and knows how to illusion. I don’t need me to teach the princess. As long as I spend my time, Buddha has long been the minister under the princess’s skirt… Does the princess have any concerns? “

If the legend that Princess Wen Zhao seduce Buddha is true, she does not believe that Buddha can bear not touching the princess!

Yaoying smiled.

Tamaraga is the monarch of the royal court, and the responsibilities on her shoulders are too heavy. No matter what he chooses, she will not persecute him. What she cares most now is whether Deva Munda can heal him.

“Does the princess have anything else?”

She asked.

Seeing her unmoved, Princess Manda squinted her eyes and could only stop the topic of seducing the Buddha. “I heard that the princess is seeking medical treatment. I asked the medical officer, but he refused to say whether he failed to cure the princess. sick?”

Yaoying said indifferently: “Old diseases are hard to heal.”

“This time the medical officer and I came to the court of the king. On the way, he often discussed the prescription with Deva Munda. If the princess wants to send him, she can send a personal message.”

Yaoying thanked Princess Manda.

Princess Manda thoughtfully, “I’ve heard of the illness discussed by Divas Munda and the medical officer before.”

Yaoying raised her eyelids.

Princess Manda said: “I know a secret method, you can try it. This secret method is only circulated in Vilamoura. I am a saint of the temple, so I have seen it. If the prescription of Deva Munda is useless, the princess can try me This secret method.”

Yaoying believed and doubted: “What secret method?”

Princess Manda clapped her hands, called her attendants, found a few exquisite books, and handed them to Yaoying.

“These are the secrets I stole from the temple. I am grateful to the princess, so I will tell the princess this secret.”

Yaoying opened the booklet, only glanced at it, and immediately covered it.

Princess Manda looked serious: “I’m not joking with the princess. This is really the secret method I stole from the temple. The monks in the temple practiced with this method, and the princess must accept it.”

The corner of Yaoying’s mouth grinned.

Princess Manda remembered another thing and said, “By the way, the princess asked me to pay attention to Aling, Haidu in Beirong. He did not pass through the kingdom of Maru. I heard the king say that he might have escaped to Samuel.”

Yaoying woke up, frowning.

Wakhan Khan once sent someone to run Samudan, Haidu Aling should have fled there to find a helper.

…

at the same time.

Bi Suo led Deva Munda to rest, and Tamaraga returned to the courtyard.

Yaoying’s soldiers are not there.

He stood in front of the porch, frowning slightly.

Yuanjue said: “Wang, the princess has gone to see the messenger of Maru, and the princess has restored diplomatic relations on behalf of the Wei Dynasty and Maru.”

Tamaraga’s face was faint, “Did Bamier follow?”

He listened to Deva Munda talking about the Malu mission.

“went.”

Tamara Gha turned around and entered the room, glanced over the several cases beside the long case, and stopped for a while.

There is a half-open snow lotus inserted in the copper bottle on several cases.

There are few flowers in his room.

Yuanjue rushed to apologize: “Wang, this flower was brought back by the princess and put it outside. I’m afraid the flower may wilt, so I move into the house and put it…”

While talking, he picked up the brass vase, trying to move the flower out.

“No need to move.”

Tamara Gha is suddenly authentic.

Yuanjue was startled, scratched his head, and put the copper bottle back.

Tan Moroga sat down, took out the letter in his sleeve, and put it away. He raised his eyes and looked at the snow lotus in the copper bottle.

When she came back, she asked the soldiers to help her take care of something. She hid it and didn’t want him to see it. He didn’t look at it too much.

It turned out to be a flower.

When she was visiting the market, young princes kept giving her flowers, and she confiscated all of them.

Tamara Gha raised his hand and touched the snow lotus petals lightly with his fingertips.

Sisi icy cold.

When Yaoying came back, it was already midnight.

The light was on in the room, and Tamara Gha was not asleep yet, so Mondavi came over to apply the medicine herself.

Yaoying sat and watched, frowning, her expression worried, and when Deva Munda went out, she immediately stepped forward to cover the quilt for Tamaraga.

“Mage, do you feel better?”

She asked softly.

Tamara Gha looked at her and nodded: “It’s better, the princess will settle down soon.”

Yaoying showed a slight smile, waited for him to close his eyes, got up and went out, and stood in front of the porch to talk to Deva Munda.

Tamara Gha was tired and woke up when she found that she hadn’t returned to the room. She was about to get up, creaked, and the door was pushed open. She tiptoed into the house and lit a lamp, not knowing what she was busy with outside. There was a sound of rustling.

He lay down again, and after waiting for a while, she went back to the inner room and slept on the cubicle.

The next morning, when Deva Munda applied the Tamaraga, her expression was a little weird.

Tamara Gha asked: “What did the princess tell you yesterday?”

Deva Munda thought for a while, and said truthfully: “The princess asked me whether the dual cultivation method that has been circulated in some sects in Tianzhu is true, or is it exaggerated and fabricated by others.”

Bi Suo’s eyes widened. Before he could speak, Tamara Gha had already looked at him, both eyes stern and cold.

Bi Suo sweated, shaking his head like a rattle: “Wang, I never mentioned this to the princess!”

Earlier, the Tianzhu monks suggested this method of strengthening the body to Tamaraga, and they also presented several scriptures. They said that as long as the above methods are used to find young girls to practice, the pain will be eliminated, and the life will be prolonged. Tamaraga does not have it. Bother.

After Yaoying returned to the royal court, Bi Su remembered the monk’s suggestion and mentioned it vaguely, but it was flatly rejected by Tamaraga. How could he dare to mention it to the princess?

Tan Moroga’s expression was condensed, calling for predestination.

“Where is the princess?”

“The princess has gone to the post house. Today, King Maru hosted a banquet to host Wei Guo and the princess…”

Tan Moroga’s eyes were deep.

“When the princess comes back, let her come to see me immediately.”

When it got dark, Yaoying hadn’t returned to the courtyard. Yuanjue lit the lights everywhere. She stayed in front of the porch for more than two hours, dozing off next to the flower wall, when she suddenly heard the sound of carriages and horses, and quickly cheered up.

The figure in front of the porch was shaking, and the soldiers came back with Yaoying around her. She was wearing a cloak and a hood. Her face was hidden in the hood, and she couldn’t see her face clearly.

Yuanjue greeted him: “Princess, the king is waiting for you.”

Yaoying’s footsteps were vacant, and with a soft hum, she signaled the soldiers to disperse and return to the inner room.

Tamaraga sat in front of the lamp and looked at the Buddhist scriptures. He had heard the noise outside, put down the scriptures in his hand, and raised his head: “Princess…”

Before he finished a sentence, the fragrant breeze was faint, and a wisp of sweet fragrance penetrated into his lungs.

Yaoying sat down in front of the long case, took off her cloak, raised her face and looked at him, her hood slipped off, her eyes wet, “Why the master hasn’t slept yet?”

With the candlelight shining, her reddish face was tinged with a faint blush, and her lips were moisturized.

Tamara Gha remained silent for a while.
