Chapter 224: Going Out
Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lantern Festival.
Everyone else was in the festive atmosphere one by one, but Dong Qinghe went to see the Queen Mother early and rewarded a bunch of palace lamps, so there was nothing to do.
The palace is breezy and the night is extremely beautiful, and the light of the moon pours down, covering the quiet lake and mountains.
At night, the lake is extremely clean and cool, and the surrounding trees and rockeries make it even more deep and quiet.
It's not a famous place, and the surrounding area used to be inhabited by concubines, but now it's even less popular.
Only the nearby palace maids and the people in charge of this piece of flowers and trees will clean up and take care of them here.
Along the path, a figure slowly came, on the moonlit paved path, gradually coming.
With a roll of his eyes, here, how could there be anyone.
Twenty paces to the side of the path, a figure stood there, facing the lake, surrounded by big trees, if he hadn't been paying attention to this place in the first place, he really hadn't noticed it.
Who is this person?
Looking at the figure, it won't be a eunuch, and it doesn't look like an ordinary palace maid's costume.
At this time, who is here?
Chu Ji was puzzled in his heart, took a few steps forward, had doubts in his heart, and walked to the other side, only then did he see it clearly, this person seemed to be Dong Qinghe.
With a turn of his eyes, Dong Qinghe also saw him and nodded slightly.
Chu Ji walked over, this place he often came to when he was a child, and the lake here was his favorite place.
"Today's Lantern Festival, why are you here?"
At this time, on the other side, you can vaguely see from here, the other side of the palace is brightly lit, and in the imperial garden, other people are watching the lights together.
"It's not interesting."
Dong Qinghe shook his head, feeling a little depressed, it's really not fun to go to the lights with other people, but it's nothing good to come out and blow the wind by yourself.
She didn't restrain the others in the Yongming Palace.
In fact, in the entire Yongming Palace, except for Su'er, everyone else often runs out, only Su'er is an exception, after all, she is different, she has to act as the queen from time to time.
If you don't appear in front of people, you will naturally be less dangerous.
"That's right, you're not one of those people who would be stuffy in a room, why don't we go out together to see the outside, I heard that you also went out with Qingdu last year?"
Chu Ji smiled and asked Dong Qinghe, otherwise, the two of them would go out together?
Dong Qinghe frowned, this is a good idea, but it seems that this is also inappropriate, that is, in case this is known by other people, she, the queen, eh.
Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at Chu Xu, he was the emperor's younger brother, should he deliberately trick her for his imperial brother to get rid of her, a veritable "poisonous woman".
When he saw someone, he suddenly turned his head, and with that suspicious gaze, Chu Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, and his feelings were in vain.
If the two of them really go out, he will also have to take risks.
"Come here."
Chu Xuan waved at her, and Dong Qinghe didn't dare to do anything to himself, so he walked over directly.
Seeing her coming, Chu Xuan turned around directly and walked in front, Dong Qinghe followed behind, and the two turned left and right, avoiding everyone, until they reached a palace wall.
The palace walls of the palace have always been not high, but people with real status will not use the brains of the palace walls, because every place near the palace wall is actually guarded by someone secretly.
But if you want to go out and come in from here, it's really no different from looking for death.
This time, with her, Chu Ji came directly.
Knowing that he was a medicine bodhisattva, naturally Chu Ji would not doubt whether she would be able to do martial arts, so she went directly to the palace wall, and the figure flashed and went out again.
Dong Qinghe came out with him, and saw outside, there was a man in black who was in front of Chu Xu, listening to him with his head down, Chu Xuan pointed at Dong Qinghe, and saw the man in black nodding.
It turns out that the people here are his people, no wonder.
As the concubine of the Queen Mother, it is normal to have such connections.
Chu Ji is not a fool, how can he help the emperor take care of so many things, and he doesn't keep a hand himself, after all, who can say clearly about this kind of thing in the royal family.
Dong Qinghe followed him out, and he was really happy along the way, and it can be seen from the smile on his face that he can really go out shopping.
Women, as long as they are rich women, there is no one who does not like to go shopping, and as long as the weather is favorable, there is no one who does not like to go out shopping.
Dong Qinghe is no exception.
It's just that it's the two of them today, and there is no one else, so they can't take much no matter what, so it's better to take a good look at the lanterns.
"Do you want to go to the Moon Tower?"
Chu Wei asked her, the people of the Dong family are in the Moon Tower every Lantern Festival, and sometimes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is lively outside, and the people of the Dong family will also go to the Moon Tower.
That's a real old building, the history is very long, I heard that this Moon Tower was built by a certain old man of the Dong family in the past, anyway, the history is very long, and the Dong family has not been able to publicize it.
Just like the Lantern Festival a year ago, it is still very lively outside.
Not to mention the hustle and bustle of gongs and drums, it is really a crowd, such a person, such a place, no wonder it is the most prosperous city so far.
Dong Qinghe followed Chu Ji together, and naturally saw a lot of other people on the way, all of them with smiles on their faces.
This made her very happy, thinking that this is a really good thing, as long as the people are happy, what is there not to be happy.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the people themselves are happy, it is enough for a lot of things to happen.
As long as everyone is willing to produce and are willing to run for life, this day can only get better and better.
That's the truth, and there is no one else who can argue with it.
Others don't understand this truth, they just know that they don't understand, and they are all moths.
For such a person, Dong Qinghe could only sneer.
The people she hates the most are also these people, you know, for Dong Qinghe, although she also knows how to eat and use at home, but she didn't pull back.
It's not terrible to pull the hind legs, but the terrible thing is that I know that I have pulled the hind legs, and I am shameless.
"Forget it, at this time, I'm afraid that there are some people I know around Mochizuki Tower."
But no, around the Moon Tower, it has always been liked by dignitaries.
At this time, some of the women in the inner house also came out.
After all, according to some traditional rules. The girls can come out during the Lantern Festival and the Qixi Festival, and as for the women, many of them have the opportunity to go out during the Lantern Festival.
Far away from here, a big ship, with a table on the bow, Emperor Chu Chen, Chu Lin, Chu Yuan and several clans with the best relationship, and Dong Qingdu of the Dong family are on a cruise.
The group looked at the bright lanterns outside, one by one extremely happy, these are actually acquaintances, all of them are some of the most intimate relationships, and some of them can even talk about other most secret things together.
"Why didn't the second brother come?"
Chu Yuan twisted his head and asked Chu Chen, Chu Yuan is the best with Chu Chen, and he usually accompanies Chu Chen when he comes out.
"It's not the first time that the second brother will present the lanterns he made to his mother at this time of year."
From this point of view, Chu Chen is really a filial son, and Chu Chen himself does not have this insistence.
Of course, Chu Ji did this for a reason, because of some reasons when he was a child.
"That's right, now the second brother's skills in tying lanterns are good." Chu Lin laughed, Chu Xu's skill was practiced, and it was naturally excellent, but all along, his lanterns were only available to the Queen Mother.
There is absolutely no other place, after all, a female blood relative with a higher status than him is a queen mother.
Naturally, things will only be given to the Queen Mother.
on the street.
Chu Xuan and Dong Qinghe walked side by side, Chu Xuan was really worried in his heart, it was naturally excellent to be able to be intimate with Dong Qinghe like this, but because of some other things, it was naturally involved in the emperor, and the issue of identity, this is his sister-in-law, it is really difficult to say.
Such a sister-in-law really doesn't know what to say.
Obviously, he is sincere to this sister-in-law, and the emperor is a little better than a stranger with her.
However, such a person will only be his sister-in-law.
This is a really worrying question. Dong Qinghe himself was very happy.
Inside the bookstore, Chu Xuan went to write a note, and Dong Qinghe tilted his head outside to look at the rock sugar gourd seller.
Well, she felt a lot of saliva suddenly secrete from her mouth.
It's just that the dignified queen mother, the eldest lady of the Dong family from the Dong family, has to face a problem at this time, she has no money.
Who would have money with them when they walked in their back garden?
This is probably the first time in her life that the eldest lady of the Dong family has worried about money.
The people next to him are very understanding, this is the second shopkeeper in a bookstore, they watched the prince bring this girl over, this year, the one who can let the prince bring over is this girl.
If nothing else, just for this point, you have to treat this girl well.
He took the initiative to hand over his money bag, maybe it was the princess, but he didn't have to serve it well.
Dong Qinghe was not polite at all, she was able to borrow money, which was definitely a blessing for this person.
When Chu Xuan came out of it, he saw that Dong Qinghe was already eating with a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and at the same time handed him another string of rock sugar gourds in his hand.
Chu Ji suddenly felt that his head hurt a little.
But fortunately, this girl herself is smiling with a smiling face on her back, so naturally she won't show any other looks, but just smiled, quite a little crying and laughing.
This person is really.
He was really speechless about that.
But he still took it, as long as he looked at Dong Qinghe on the other side and handed it to him, he had to take everything.
In addition, Dong Qinghe pointed to the rock sugar gourd in his hand, and then pointed to the second shopkeeper who helped pay the bill just now.
Chu Xuan was surprised, turned around, and was about to find out the money bag.
Hey, how can you ask the prince to give him two strings of rock sugar gourds, isn't this looking for a fight.
This person naturally shook his head immediately, and shook his head extremely firmly, no, absolutely not wanted.
This is a matter of absolute principle.
No, it's not a principle, it's my responsibility as a subordinate.
The Dong family has never had the habit of taking the things in their own store for nothing, this is absolutely calculated.
Even if the money is the Dong family's own, the left purse is in the purse, and it must be calculated clearly.
This is also one of the reasons why all the shopkeepers of the Dong family are solid, and when doing things in the Dong family, all the shopkeepers don't have to worry about the proprietor messing around.
For example, you have a shop that has a new beautiful porcelain vase with flower arrangement, puts it out for everyone to see, and wants to sell it for a high price.
At this time, a person from the owner came and didn't say anything else, just took the things away, anyway, this is my shop, my things.
Ming'er took a fancy to the paperweight and took it directly.
Later, I felt that there was a shortage of clothes in the house, so I took the materials away.
When this kind of thing happens, I'm afraid that there is no shopkeeper who does big things and is not angry.
After all, this kind of thing is too infuriating.
These things are not a big deal, but in the eyes of those shopkeepers and Xiao Er, this shop is their lifeblood, in terms of hard work, no one loves them more, and the owner is like this, obviously he doesn't treat them and shops as the same thing.
This is also the reason why other businessmen are convinced of the Dong family, not to mention anything else, look at this style, you know that the Dong family can be passed on for a long time.
Chu Ji naturally knew this rule of the Dong family, and directly put a broken silver in the hands of the second shopkeeper, put a rock sugar gourd in his hand and put it in his mouth, and left with Dong Qinghe.
The rest of the stunned group of people, the person who ate rock sugar gourd on the street just now, was really Qi Wang Chu Xuan, such an indifferent person.
People who know King Qi have the same thoughts, and they really don't dare to say a word in front of him.
It seems that if you say one more word, and if you are looked at by King Qi, you will know how stupid you are.
However, just now, the one who ate rock sugar gourd on the street was His Royal Highness King Qi.
Who is that little girl, who can make His Royal Highness King Qi do this, it is really unseemly, this is definitely what King Qi will look like in the future.
On the street, although it is said that such a pair of beautiful people sitting like this attracts the curious eyes of the people around them, but at this time, who will always care about this kind of thing, of course, it is to have fun.
Chu Ji took Dong Qinghe into a small shop.
This is a specialty for selling snacks, and the owner of this shop is an old man, who used to be the imperial chef in the palace.
When Chu Ji was young, he often ate things made by this imperial chef and liked it very much.
Later, after the imperial chef died of old age, he was idle, so he opened a small shop like this in Taijing City.
In the entire Taijing City, it should be said that those who really have status are those who know one or two such shops.
Dong Qingdu also took Dong Qinghe to eat other people's before.
After eating the glutinous rice balls made by this family, Dong Qinghe almost swallowed his tongue, it was so delicious.
