Chapter 433 Departure
Since she had a long talk with Qi Rong, Zhen Wanyi no longer went out, and the invitation she sent was just for Yingyue to return the salute, and then pulled the imperial concubine to prepare to go to Guanyin Temple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Empress Dowager smiled: "Don't worry, you rest for a few days first, and then we'll go out later." I've been in the palace for half my life, and I'm not in a hurry at this moment. ”
Zhen Wanyi felt even more guilty when she heard this, when she just took the imperial concubine into the mansion, she said that she would take the imperial concubine around, but more than a month passed, but she didn't do anything, she only knew that she ran out all day, and she threw Brother Heng to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine never even left the gate of the palace.
The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, but she couldn't ignore the old man like this. Those boring banquets in the capital are twelve months a year, there are flowers every month, there are delicious food every day for three hundred and sixty-five days, and there can be half a basket of posts delivered to the concierge every day.
When I went to the banquet, I only heard that many ladies and parents were short, and you spied on me and I sneered at you, which was very boring. And Zhen Wanyi's appearance in any family's banquet is the most eye-catching one, especially after Princess Ning was named the crown princess and entered the palace, Zhen Wanyi's status seems to have become the highest one.
But the Zhen family is an obscure family, with no capable in-laws, no strong support, and no even a person to support the court. Although the Zhen family has produced three jinshi, what level of banquet did Zhen Wanyi attend in the capital, which one is not from Zhong Mingding's food family?
Under such circumstances, Zhen Wanyi is like a spotlight wherever she goes, and the eyes of the topic revolve around her. In the past, when Qi Rong was not outstanding, there was always a little contempt for the lord's arrogance in his eyes when he looked at Zhen Wanyi, but Zhen Wanyi's identity as the princess was there, and everyone could only salute when they saw it. Even saluting her is just a face, and many ladies avoid her in order to save this step.
Later, when Qi Rong emerged and became more and more sharp, he was dazzling, and when he looked at Zhen Wanyi, there was a little more envy and stammering in his eyes. Especially this year, Qi Rong entered the Zhongshu Province and served as the Zhongshu Order, and the performance of those ladies in front of Zhen Wanyi can be described in two words: flattery. But no amount of superficial work can hide their inner contempt for Zhen Wanyi, for these ladies Zhen Wanyi is really unwilling to deal with them, if it is not for the inquiries in the palace, she doesn't want to go out to socialize.
"Mother, taking advantage of the fact that the sun is not big these days, let's go out quickly, and after a while, I am afraid that if I want to go out, I will be scared by the bright sun. ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was a little moved, "Can you stand it?"
Zhen Wanyi smiled and her eyes were crooked, like a bright crescent moon, "The daughter-in-law is not tired, and when she goes out, she just gives a few orders, and she lets the moon and red parrots do everything, and the mother concubine just brings what she can use, and the day after tomorrow is the day when the prince rests, let the prince accompany us." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled even more, but after thinking for a while, she said, "You first ask the prince if he is busy during this time?" If we are tired, we will rest in the palace for a day, and it will not be too late to go back in two days. ”
Zhen Wanyi secretly sighed, this is the mother and son who have never gotten along, one doesn't know how to speak, and the other doesn't dare to open up if there is something, "Then when the prince returns home, let's ask." The daughter-in-law is estimated to be not very busy, you see that the prince has been going back to the house on time for dinner recently, if he is busy, I am afraid that it is impossible to go back to the house every day to eat. ”
The Empress Dowager nodded, "It's okay." ”
Stepping on the sunset, Qi Rong entered the plum courtyard, Zhen Wanyi ordered someone to fetch water and went to make tea in person, and only after Qi Rong cleaned up and sat down on the Luohan bed did she send hot tea, and also made a new bowl for the imperial concubine who was sitting opposite Qi Rong.
"Lord Wang, do you have any arrangements for your rest the day after tomorrow?"
Qi Rong shook his head, "What's wrong?"
Zhen Wanyi said in a brisk tone: "My mother and I want to go to the Guanyin Temple to offer incense, and the day after tomorrow just happens to be resting, so I want to ask if you can go out with us." ”
"What's so hard about that. I asked Xue Qing to go to the Guanyin Temple in advance to tell the host, and the concubine should let the host close the mountain gate, so that others would not collide with you. ”
When the Empress Dowager heard Qi Rong's question, her always graceful demeanor became a little faster, and she shook her hand and said, "No, don't bother like this." ”
Qi Rong was afraid that the imperial concubine would be polite to him, so he said: "It's not troublesome, it's just a matter of one sentence." ”
The Empress Dowager looked at Qi Rong's serious appearance, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.
Zhen Wanyi thought that the Empress Dowager used to grow up in a border land, where there was almost no defense between men and women, she was a violet growing wantonly in the fertile soil of freedom, simple and elegant. Having been confined to the palace for more than twenty years, she should have longed for a lively and free life, a lively and noisy atmosphere.
"Lord, we are just going to worship Guanyin and visit the temple fair, if the mountain gate is closed, what can our family be lively about. ”
Qi Rong looked at the faint smile on the corner of the crown princess's mouth and the obvious expectation in her eyes, hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you the day after tomorrow." ”
The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhen Wanyi and said in an excited tone, "Why don't you call the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt together." ”
Zhen Wanyi glanced at Qi Rong, and after seeing Qi Rong nodding, she said, "Okay, I'll let someone send them posts when I go back." The eighth sister is definitely willing to go, she loves to be the most lively. ”
"That's good, it's crowded. ”
The next day, Zhen Wenyi and Zhen Ruyi both gave affirmative answers, and even Qi Changming and Jia Zhen had to go together.
When going out, the imperial concubine took Heng Ge'er a carriage, Qi Rong and Zhen Wanyi a carriage, the maids and daughters-in-law crowded two carriages, and the first two followed by two empty ones, which were prepared for Zhen Ruyi and Zhen Wenyi.
First let the coachman pick up the people and then meet at the ten-mile long pavilion outside the west city gate, greet each other, and then get on the car again and go to the Guanyin Temple in the western suburbs.
Zhen Wanyi lifted the curtain of the car, the wind blew the hair on her temples, the hair danced on her face, and she couldn't help but close her eyes, smelling the fragrance of the grass outside the window, feeling the soft breeze, and sighed: "Even if you don't play like this, it's fun to run a lap." ”
Qi Rong smiled and helped Zhen Wanyi pull her hair behind her ears, "It's only comfortable to sit on a horse and run around in such weather." ”
Zhen Wanyi's eyes lit up and then darkened, and she pouted, "Lord Wang, why didn't you say this earlier, I didn't bring my clothes here." ”
"You're tired these days, but it's better to be comfortable in the carriage. Besides, at your level, I'm afraid that if you ride for less than a quarter of an hour, your legs will be sore. In the future, I will have the opportunity to take you to Liuchun Temple to ride a horse, in fact, it is also possible in the house, and the flat land at the foot of the mountain behind Merlin is very good for running horses. ”
Listening to Qi Rongyi, Zhen Wanyi also felt really tired, she got up at dawn this morning, and everything was packed up yesterday, just send it to the carriage. Later, he groomed and helped Brother Heng clean up, and fed Brother Heng a steamed goose egg before hurriedly leaving.
At first, there was a novelty and I didn't feel tired, but after leaving the city, I felt sleepy, yawned and leaned on the big pillow and fell asleep after a while.
Qi Rong looked down, shook his head and smiled, moved Zhen Wanyi to pill on his lap and fell asleep, and Zhen Wanyi didn't wake up at all in the process.
