C234 Princess Lu Yuan

Xiao Wen looked over and saw a young woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, standing on top of the city wall with a phoenix hairpin stuck on her head.

She looked down at Xiao Wen from above. Although he had a bit of arrogance between his brows, he still had some appreciation for Xiao Wen.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment before she greeted her in a courteous manner: "Sun Shangxiang greets your highness, the long-haired princess."

"Grand Princess?" Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment before reacting.

There was probably only one person who could be called the Grand Princess in Liu Bang's era. It was the eldest daughter of Liu Bang and Lu Zhi.

In history, Princess Lu Yuan was married to King Zhao, Zhang Ao. Because of the Huns' sudden invasion, Liu Jing's suggestion was referred to marriage, and he was almost sent to the Huns.

However, he was still the flesh and blood of Lu Zhi, so Lu Zhi was unwilling to send his daughter to the Huns.

Therefore, Lu Zhi let some of his children replace Princess Lu Yuan and marry the Huns. From then on, he began to impersonate the Princess with his son and the Prince, and to fool the Huns.

She and Zhang Ao Sheng had a son, Zhang Yishan, who was bestowed the title King Lu Yuan. Therefore, Princess Lu Yuan was also known as the Empress Dowager Lu Yuan or the Queen Mother Lu Yuan.

In addition, they also have a daughter, Zhang Yan, who, in order to consolidate her power, was married in the name of "marriage by marriage" to Princess Lu Yuan's younger brother, Hanhuidi Liu Ying.

In other words, the empress of Huidi Liu Ying was his own damn niece …

It had to be said that the people on the political scene were quite lost.

However, it must be admitted that this Princess Lu Yuan was indeed an important member of Lu Zhi's political group.

It was because of Lu Yuan's existence that Liu Bang and Lu Zhi were able to firmly control Zhang Ao.

Historically, Zhang Ao had also received the title of "Yuan" from his wife. Compared to his wife in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhang Ao had received the title of "Yuan" from the dukedom.

For example, Uncle and Nephew Xun Shuang used his wife to make a husband, and used his inferiority to make a king. He went against the principles of heaven and earth.

To the ancient male aristocrats, such an action was second only to the shame of marrying into their family.

Seeing this important figure of the imperial family, Xiao Wen's face was full of caution. He bowed along with Uncle Lee.

However, Lu Yuan did not seem to be overly arrogant.

One of the attendants took out a bamboo basket and placed it outside the city gate.

Then, a few guards landed outside the city walls through the bamboo basket.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Lu Yuan also personally passed through the bamboo basket and landed in front of everyone.

"Lu Yuan has seen the great good fortune of Xiao. The Queen Mother kept saying that a powerful scholar named Xiao Wen had recently appeared in this household. Not only did it help General Li train the cavalry to defeat the eight flags of Manchuria, but it also helped the clouds carry out post-war reconstruction. The fact that the war was fought in the north did the burly man a great favor. "Lu Yuan is here. I'll thank you for your good fortune first."

As he said this, he directly bowed towards Xiao Wen.

Looking at Lu Yuan, Xiao Wen didn't show any fear.

Although she was a princess, she held a high position in society under the feudal system. However, the other party's identity being suppressed and coming to Xiao Wen gave him a surreal feeling.

It was as if he was watching the other party's video through the television. All the auras were like nothingness to him.

Therefore, he did not express his thanks to Lu Yuan. Instead, he felt any fear towards Lu Yuan's actions of displaying his aura. Instead, he said with an indifferent expression, "Since that's the case, then does the Grand Princess wish to bring me to Gou Guo to pay a visit?"

Hearing that, Lu Yuan was stunned.

She didn't think that Xiao Wen would dare to talk to her like that.

Even though most nobles would not be punished if they were to mock Lu Yuan. After all, the monarchs of the Han state did not have a high degree of authority.

However, when they were treated badly, they were mocked. Usually, only great nobles who had been in a high position for a long time would have such a reaction.

Normally, the newly arrived small nobles didn't have the guts to do so.

This was Lu Yuan's new opinion of Xiao Wen.

Looking at Xiao Wen, Lu Yuan lightly smiled and said, "Please forgive me. Lu Yuan was just curious. What kind of person is Young Master Xiao, who established a martial arts technique in the clouds, exactly? That's why he specially carried out the test. "

So that's how it was.

After all, he was the ruler of a country. Lu Zhi and Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't be brainless enough to make enemies with Xiao Wen.

Thus, the only reason why they could do so was probably through a test.

However, Xiao Wen didn't plan on doing that.

He looked at Lu Yuan and said, "I once heard that the Crown Prince, in order to invite Shang Shan's Four Arrows out of the mountain, personally brought gifts to Shang Shan and invited them out with a humble attitude."

"But today, why do I only see the arrogance of the royal family but not the humility of the royal family?"

"This is just a test …"

Lu Yuan wanted to explain, but Xiao Wen didn't give her the chance.

He interrupted Lu Yuan and said, "There is no conflict between the test and arrogance. The test of arrogance, the test of arrogance, these things are not contradictory. "

Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Lu Yuan sighed.

Obviously, she knew that if she didn't do anything, she wouldn't be able to calm Xiao Wen's anger. Moreover, insisting that this was only a test would only make the royal family appear more arrogant.

Fortunately, when Lu Zhi had arranged for this trial, he seemed to have already expected such a situation.

The seasoned statesman has come up with a solution to the conflict.

Lu Yuan gave a slight bow to Xiao Wen before saying, "Since Great Good Fortune wishes to experience the humility of the imperial family, then follow me."

As he spoke, he gestured to Xiao Wen to invite him in.

"Hehe!" Little girl Lu Yuan, although this little brother Xiao is usually very easy-going, at critical moments, he is more arrogant than anyone else. If you want to satisfy him, you can't not pay the price. "

Xiao Wen raised his chin and said, "Although you can't be arrogant, you can't be without pride. Once you kneel like a slave for too long, it will be very hard for you to get up. "

Hearing those words, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Even Lu Yuan's expression became serious.

She said, "Rest assured, I will definitely not be disappointed in good fortune and everyone else."

With that, she gestured for everyone to follow her.

Since Lu Yuan was already like this, Xiao Wen couldn't say anything else.

After all, an appropriate amount of dissatisfaction would allow him to obtain even more things. It would also allow others to not dare to underestimate him.

However, if one was insatiable in his greed, it would instead arouse the disgust of others.

Anyway, Xiao Wen wasn't that kind of person. However, due to the people's awkward state of mind, if one did not display sufficient strength, they would think that it was easy to bully, which was why they revealed their dissatisfaction.

And now, since he had achieved his goal, Xiao Wen didn't continue speaking and just brought everyone to follow behind Princess Lu Yuan.

He saw Princess Lu Yuan walking away from the city gate. After walking about five to six hundred meters, Xiao Wen saw another city gate in front of his eyes.

This city gate appeared to be about the same size as the previous one. However, the soldiers guarding the city gate had their heads held high and their chests puffed up; they were obviously elites.

Even though the city gates were filled with people, no one passed by. Compared to the previous city gate, the city was in stark contrast.

Xiao Wen instantly understood what Lu Yuan meant by 'sincerity'.

"So, the Grand Princess wants to bring us from the Imperial City!"
