121. Rice balls
Before the sky was clear, two four-horse carriages with blue forging and dark blue roofs drove out of the Xuanguo Mansion and went in opposite directions at a fork in the road.
Zhu Miaohua and Zhu Hong were invited by King Jing's Mansion, so they went to King Jing's Mansion and joined Princess Jing's group, Li Feiming received an invitation from Princess Shouchun and wanted to go to Princess Shouchun's Mansion.
In front of the princess's mansion, a gray-haired old lady followed Li Fei, gently introduced Li Fei all the way, served tea and said with a smile: "Miss Li sit down for a while, and the horse is in it at this time." ”
"I don't know the princess, so I think I should have come and see her. ”
Half a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time, Li Fei smiled, his crow-like eyelashes drooped slightly, took a sip of tea, and sat quietly waiting.
The old lady stood beside her, looking at Li Fei with slightly cloudy eyes, secretly admiring.
Li Fei was wearing a light purple moire folded plum blossom-like placket jacket and a light yellow embroidered peony skirt, both of which were dark, but lined a skin with more white and greasy moisture, and Li Fei's facial features with low eyebrows and eyes became more and more charming and soft, and a pair of eyes were half closed, and in this quiet environment, they became more and more dark and clear, steady and obviously calm and chic.
Li Fei knew that this old lady was secretly observing herself, and after staying for a while, she raised her head slightly and smiled lightly.
The old lady covered her sour eyelids and said with a smile: "Look at my rudeness for a while, Miss Li is very similar to the appearance of Xuan Guogong when she was young, but this bearing is alive and well with Mrs. Li." ”
Zhu Qin is now in his thirties, his face is profound and resolute, and he has completely lost the beauty of his youth, so no one mentioned the words that the father and daughter look alike in front of Li Fei, and now they are suddenly pointed out by others, Li Fei's heart was slightly touched, and he said to the old man in a more modest tone: "Mama has seen the appearance of my father and mother in the early years?"
"At that time, Xuan Guogong and Mrs. Li returned to both sides to ask Concubine Zhao to say goodbye, and I was fortunate to see ...... twice"
The old lady had already spoken, and she stopped, the eyelids of her eyes shrugged, and her face bowed her head with regret.
Li Fei tried to put her father and mother together and think about it, blinked her eyes indifferently, and then sighed deliberately, holding the teacup and looking at the tea leaves inside.
After a while, a loud laugh suddenly came, Princess Shouchun walked in in a hurry, Li Fei could get up to greet him, and after half of the worship, Princess Shouchun personally picked it up and said with a smile: "No courtesy, fifth brother, Atan, of course, and seventh brother, several people have mentioned you in front of me, let me take a closer look." ”
A pair of apricot eyes and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at each other, Princess Shouchun looked kind, and praised: "Good look, what a beauty." ”
Li Fei replied softly: "The same is true for Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Princess Shouchun laughed out loud, and her appearance was indeed the same, with green eyebrows and red lips, bright teeth and bright eyes, and she was the princess's respect, and her demeanor was hearty and bright.
The time was still early, and the maids came with milk custard, and Princess Shouchun stirred the silver spoon and said: "Actually, I don't need the seventh brother to entrust me, I also want to invite you, not for the seventh brother, for the fifth brother, I should also invite you." ”
Princess Shouchun and King Wei have been in Beijing for many years, and Princess Shouchun's Mansion is located outside the Xiyuan Gate, and King Wei's Mansion lives next to each other, the relationship between the brother and sister is very good, at that time, King Wei lived in the Xuanguo Mansion for three days, Princess Shouchun originally wanted to go over, but she was suspected of being pregnant in those days, and she didn't dare to be negligent, so she didn't go to it, and then she was happy and worried for a few days, but she was not pregnant.
"That was a long time ago. Li Fei said lightly, it is not a good thing that King Wei is lost, Li Fei drank milk custard to fade this matter.
Princess Shouchun glanced at Li Fei, nodded in approval, and asked happily: "Do you know how to ride a horse?" Later, we can wear a hat and ride a horse, and go to the Martial Arts Garden early...... This is what the seventh brother explained. ”
Li Fei's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said shyly: "I can ride a little, the princess walks slowly, I should be more good." ”
"Then let's get over there. Princess Shouchun was an anxious child, she put down half of the milk custard in her hand, took Li Fei's hand and walked out: "We are talking on the road......
Just stepped out of the door, a maid hurriedly walked briskly, bent her knees and said, "Your Highness, King Wei and Princess Wei are coming." ”
Princess Shouchun and King Wei live next to each other, the side door is facing the side door, it is very convenient for the two families to move around, and the people are also free.
"Oh, Fifth Brother got up so early today. Princess Shouchun said casually, turned back to the house with Li Fei, and personally ordered: "Heat a bowl of pine nut syrup." ”
The pine nut syrup was just hot The old lady held it, Wei Wanghan smiled and carried a scroll of paintings into the room, saw Li Fei's eyes were dull for a moment, and after hesitating for a while, he was anxious about Li Fei, and he was a little happy and stammered: "Are you ...... In my sister's ...... Here!"
Li Fei stood up and nodded, and Sun Yuyan, the princess of the back guard, followed into the house, holding an apricot-yellow gourd-patterned brocade box in her hand, and Li Fei curtsied to Sun Yuyan.
Sun Yuyan passed by Li Fei before gently telling Li Fei to get up.
King Wei is a person who has no city at all, and there is no process when he speaks, and King Wei rarely speaks, so once he speaks, he is very straightforward, and says to Sun Yuyan: "She said that the seventh brother is today's birthday, I drew a picture for him, and you give it to him." ”
If it weren't for Sun Yuyan chanting in King Wei's ear, King Wei wouldn't have remembered anyone's birthday, as for why Sun Yuyan was talking about Zhao Yanheng's birthday in King Wei's ear, King Wei wouldn't have realized her intentions, King Wei has his own way of thinking, Sun Yuyan has his own way of dealing with things that Sun Yuyan has been talking about many times in his ear, he drew a picture with pure sincerity, and asked Princess Shouchun to hand it over to Zhao Yanheng for him.
Princess Shouchun glanced at Sun Yuyan, who was secretly annoyed, and turned her eyes to King Wei and said with a smile like she wanted to coax a child: "You drew a picture, did you draw it yourself?"
King Wei nodded, and couldn't wait to unfold the painting to show Princess Shouchun.
Don't expect a fool to have some kind of extraordinary talent, Wei Wang is a very pure fool, and the picture he paints is a very incomprehensible thing.
There is no technique, no intention, no layout, and no stamp, that is, in the middle of a yellowish picture scroll, one circle after another, I don't know what he means by the circle, green, yellow, red, white, black five colors fall on the circle, like a brush dipped in various pigments poked up, it becomes a painting.
Sun Yuyan stood beside King Wei, the expression on her face was dark and difficult to discern.
No one understands King Wei's world, King Wei's own clumsy lips and tongue can't express it, and no one understands him, and Princess Shouchun doesn't understand either, but she coaxed this fifth brother to get used to it, and happily took the picture scroll and looked at it: "...... It's a lot of fun!"
Wei Wang Qingjun's face was smiling, bright and pure, and then he looked at Li Fei shyly, his big eyes flickering, as if he was expecting Li Fei to say something.
Li Fei couldn't understand it, she didn't evaluate it immediately, she appreciated it very seriously, she was very embarrassed, she could only say bluntly: "What did His Royal Highness King Wei draw? ”
Princess Shouchun frowned slightly.
Sun Yuyan looked at her sideways.
King Wei said in a very reasonable tone: "It's rice balls!"
Green, yellow, red, white, and black are rice dyed in five colors, boiled until seven or eight medium-rare, and then taken out and steamed in a rice bowl. A few days ago, King Wei was sick and couldn't eat, so the cook below made this brightly colored rice, and King Wei looked good-looking and ate a few more bites, and his appetite was able to eat, and his illness slowly got better. So King Wei drew this kind of rice ball and gave it to Zhao Yanheng, which means that Zhao Yanheng should eat well and not get sick.
Li Fei couldn't guess what was going on here, but Li Fei tried to think about her niece Li Qi'er, like a three-year-old child, and said, "The rice balls are very beautiful, they look like they are eaten." ”
King Wei nodded very hard, and his handsome face smiled, bright and pure.
Half of it is Meng, it can be regarded as Meng, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of painting is really more difficult than evaluating the paintings of famous artists.
"You have to put it up before you can give it away. Sun Yuyan didn't want to see her husband continue to be embarrassed, so she handed over the apricot yellow gourd pattern brocade box in her hand, her tone was too warm, no one could hear the disdain in her heart, King Wei took the brocade box, rolled up the picture with his own hands, and put it in the brocade box.
Sun Yuyan helped the handle, and then helped King Wei to sit down.
King Wei rubbed his eyes.
Princess Shouchun asked Sun Yuyan, "Has the fifth brother had breakfast?"
Sun Yuyan replied, "Not yet, but it's already freshened up." ”
Princess Shouchun nodded, the old lady put the hot pine nut syrup in front of King Wei, Princess Shouchun re-served a bowl of milk custard, and a few plates of exquisite ideas, and several people accompanied King Wei to have breakfast. After Wang Wei finished eating, he didn't have any extra words, smiled at Li Fei, stood up and didn't need to say goodbye to Princess Shouchun, and walked out.
Sun Yuyan took King Wei's hand and said gently: "Your Highness......"
Her title is full of meaning, she knows that today is the birthday of King Xiang, and many members of the royal family have gathered in Wulin Garden, King Wu, King Jing, King Jing, Princess Shouchun...... The emperor's princes and princesses, except for the young, the nine-year-old eight princes have gone, he is such an old person, and the prince who is already an adult has not to go, among the female dependents, even the side concubine of King Wu Jing has a seat, and she is the princess of Wei and no one cares.
Sun Yuyan was a little unwilling.
Being a princess of Wei shouldn't be like this, no one cares.
King Wei can't hear Sun Yuyan's voice His Royal Highness, full of endless grievances and reservations, Sun Yuyan wants King Wei to open his mouth to go to the Martial Arts Garden, but King Wei himself does not have this will, although in the Wei Wang's Mansion Sun Yuyan mentioned many times how lively the Wulin Garden is today, for the Wei King all played the piano to the cow, the Wei King wiped his mouth three times with a handkerchief, and then asked Sun Yuyan to take the used handkerchief and continue to go to the Wei Wang's Mansion.
Princess Shouchun looked at the disappearing from sight, turned around and smiled at Li Fei: "Let's go, we said that we were going to arrive early, and it won't be long ago." ”
