Chapter 24: The Audience with the Holy Face 3
"I remember, when I saw you that day, you had a turquoise jade hairpin in your hairpin, and a peach blossom was carved around the hairpin, but?" Xu estimated that under his reminder, Leng Qing had already remembered that he had been "rescued by a hero", and Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the golden carved dragon throne with his hands and knees, asked Leng Qing with a smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And at this time, Leng Qing, who was sitting upright on the pear blossom wood Taishi chair at the bottom right of the throne, felt a little weird and embarrassed at this moment, this situation, but Leng Qing was not ambiguous when she answered, and opened her mouth to respond: "Yes." ”
As Leng Qing responded, Liang Ruming asked again: "That peach blossom hosta, did you buy it in that Treasure Pavilion?"
"Yes. Replying to Liang Ruming, it was still Leng Qing's unequivocal answer.
Regarding the peach blossom hosta, Leng Qing remembers it very well.
Leng Qing remembered that when she followed the man named San'er to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, she only felt dazzled.
On the entire second floor, ten long tables were neatly arranged, each with a white cashmere blanket the same size as the tabletop, and a layer of jade on the carpet.
Those jade objects include hostas, jade pendants, jade bracelets, and jade bone fans with jade as bones, jade Buddhas, and jade carvings are various, as long as they can be carved out of jade, there are everything.
Moreover, there is more than one kind of jade texture, there are three kinds of jade: white jade (including mutton fat jade), jade and the treasure of jade - blood jade.
The window on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion is very open, and the sash is wide open at this moment, and the sunlight shines into the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion through the open window, projecting on those jades, and the jade refracts the sunlight, so it is not dazzling and gorgeous, how can it not dazzle people?
After that, Leng Qing walked to the long table closest to her, looked carefully at the jade on the table, and saw that at the end, Leng Qing shook her head.
Looking at the jade objects on the two tables again, Leng Qing was not very satisfied.
It wasn't until she walked to the fourth table that Leng Qing's eyes lit up when she looked at the two pieces of jade.
It was a turquoise jade hairpin, and a peach blossom was carved around the hairpin.
Leng Qing picked it up and took a closer look, and found that the hosta was warm to the touch, but the peach blossom was blooming like a real flower, and she seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in a trance.
Leng Qing turned around with the jade green hosta at that time, and asked the man named San'er with a light smile how much silver the hosta was.
The man named San'er also smiled back and replied, "Ten taels." ”
And at that time, the man named San'er also told Leng Qing that the hosta was actually far more than ten taels of silver, but the hosta was entrusted by a son to sell it on behalf of them more than 20 years ago, and the boy said that as long as someone took a fancy to the hosta, no matter what the identity of the other party was, it would only cost ten taels of silver, and the silver sold by the boy would not take a penny, only belonged to them Treasure Pavilion. It's just that for some reason, the hosta has been in the Treasure Pavilion for more than 20 years, but no one has cared about it......
Later, after buying the peach blossom hosta, Leng Qing asked Lu Xueyue to help put the peach blossom hosta in the bun. Later, after returning to Zhu's mansion, Leng Qing gave the peach blossom hosta to Zhu Zimo......
It's just that Leng Qing didn't know at the time that in Daliang folk, giving peach blossoms to people represents the intention of the other party and the intention of tying the knot with the other party. And jade is also a kind of token. This point was only known to Leng Qing not long ago, if Leng Qing knew this at that time, Leng Qing would not have given the peach blossom hosta to Zhu Zimo......
Just when Leng Qing was recalling the past, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands on his knees, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "The hair ornament you are wearing today seems to be from the hands of the craftsmen of the Prince's Mansion?"
At this time, Leng Qingming still hadn't figured out why Liang Ruming knew that she was the peach blossom hosta she bought in the Treasure Pavilion, so she was taken away by Liang Ruming's question-
Leng Qing thought, since Liang Ruming could see that the hair ornament she was wearing was from the hands of the craftsmen of the Prince's Mansion, then, Liang Ruming must also know about the fact that she lived in the Prince's Mansion, right?
After thinking about it, Leng Qing was relieved again: That's right, Liang Ruming is the emperor of this Great Liang State after all, what happened in the Great Liang Country is something that Liang Ruming doesn't know? Not to mention that it happened right under Liang Ruming's nose!
Thinking of this, Leng Qing felt that if she continued to hide it, she would look stupid, so she simply nodded directly and replied truthfully: "Yes." Minnu had previously lived in the Prince's Mansion for a while. ”
"I know. Leng Qing finished speaking, and Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands on his knees, took Leng Qing's words in such an indifferent tone.
At this time, Leng Qing, who was sitting upright on the Taishi chair, was silent and did not speak.
However, Leng Qing's silence did not affect Liang Ruming's interest in speaking in the slightest.
In the silence, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands on his knees, said with a gentle smile: "You saved me once, and then you saved the crown princess again, but that time you saved not only the crown princess, but also the child in the princess's womb, and even my grandson." With all these favors, what do you think I should reward you?"
Listening to Liang Ruming's words, and hearing Liang Ruming say that he wanted to reward her, Leng Qing, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair with a straight posture, did not have half a joy in her heart, but the more she listened, the more frightened she felt!!
To be honest, Liang Ruming could know that Leng Qing had lived in the Prince's Mansion, Leng Qing was not surprised at all, really! After all, this was something that happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and Leng Qing didn't think that Liang Ruming knew anything unusual. But how did Liang Ruming know what happened on Qin Mountain at the beginning?!!!
When Leng Qing rescued Cheng Yiying on Qin Mountain, Leng Qing really didn't take it to heart at that time, let alone spread it everywhere. And later, Leng Qing also heard Cheng Yiying say that it was Zuo but Cheng Yiying was safe and sound, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liang Shengde strictly ordered the entourage who went to Qinshan not to discuss this matter in private, and if there was a violator, he would be killed directly!
Leng Qing knew very well that Liang Shengde's actions were nothing more than to seal the mouths of those who accompanied him to Qinshan.
In fact, Liang Shengde's move was indeed immediate-at least since the trip to Qinshan, Leng Qing had never heard anyone in the prince's mansion privately talk about Cheng Yiying's falling into the water when he was in Qinshan. But......
Far away in Liang Xiao City in the Great Liang Kingdom, Liang Ruming, who is high on the throne, knows about this!!
Leng Qing thought about it, and only felt that Liang Ruming could know what happened on Qinshan Mountain for two reasons: either Liang Shengde came back and confessed to Liang Ruming one by one; or, among those entourages, there were Liang Ruming's eyes and ears! And those eyes and ears were extremely loyal to Liang Ruming!!
After the brain was running so fast, Leng Qingfang replied with careful words: "Since ancient times, when I saw injustice, I drew a sword to help, but the folk girl just happened to meet it, so she drew a knife to help, and I didn't dare to ask for a reward." The princess's kindness had already been paid off when the princess took the risk to take in the people's daughter and took the people's daughter back to Daliang. ”
When she was talking like this, Leng Qing was also thinking in her heart: Since Liang Ruming can know that Cheng Yiying fell into the water when she was in Qinshan, then presumably, Liang Ruming also knew about her disguised as the dancing queen of the Chibing Kingdom and assassinated Chen Haoxian, the prince of Dazhang Kingdom, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival......
However, in response to Leng Qing, it was Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands and knees, who seemed to be smiling and not smiling: "Since the two are clear, then why do you want to marry Prince Xiao again?"
This question was a question, but Liang Ruming suddenly turned around the topic of not knowing which country he went to.
And at this time, Leng Qing was really incomprehensible and speechless for Liang Ruming's jumping way of speaking: Can't you finish saying that thing well?
“…… It's not that I'm going to marry, it's that Prince Xiao wants to marry. Leng Qing, who was sitting uprightly on the Taishi's chair, was speechless for two seconds before giving her answer calmly.
Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands on his knees, heard this, but he pursed his lips and smiled, smiling curiously: "Hearing you say this, I actually feel that it seems that no matter who you marry, you don't care?"
As soon as Liang Ruming said this, Leng Qing was stunned again...... How can she pick it up??
Almost instantly, Leng Qing thought of several ways to answer, but in the end, they were all vetoed by Leng Qing herself. So, Leng Qing could only remain silent in the end.
And at that time, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands on his knees on his knees, did not say a word, but said with a gentle smile: "Yesterday, when Prince Xiao left the palace, neither I nor the queen gave Prince Xiao an accurate answer, and only asked Prince Xiao to go back to the prince's mansion first to wait for news. The voice changed for a moment, but Wen Liang Ruming asked with a smile: "You say, how should I reply to Prince Xiao?"
In the face of Liang Ruming's inquiry, Leng Qing groaned slightly, but still responded in a deep voice: "The people dare not speculate on the holy will. No matter what Liang Ruming thinks or what she wants to do, in short, she follows Liang Ruming's words and flatters Liang Ruming, it will not be wrong......
However, after Leng Qing finished speaking, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands on his knees, did not answer, but looked up at the copper leak placed in the corner of the imperial study, and said with a thin lip: "It's noon, are you hungry?"
So, Leng Qing, who was sitting on the Taishi chair with a dignified posture and was seriously trying to figure out the holy will, looked confused at that time......
At this point, Leng Qing finally figured out Liang Ruming's speaking routine, that is, he played cards without common sense, unpredictable, and completely unguardable!
After being stunned, Leng Qing still honestly replied to Liang Ruming's words: "I'm hungry." "It's not just that I'm hungry, I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back!!
So, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands on his knees, pursed his lips and smiled, and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Zhang Xuanfu." ”
"The subordinate is here!!" Before Liang Ruming's words fell, Zhang Xuanfu's voice came from outside the imperial study into the imperial study, followed by the sound of opening the door and a series of swift footsteps.
However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuanfu, who was naturally smiling with eyebrows and eyes, appeared in front of Liang Ruming and Leng Qing. Xu was in too much of a hurry, and after Zhang Xuanfu stopped, the dust in his arm was still dangling there.
And in that room, without waiting for Zhang Xuanfu, who was standing in the hall, to salute and greet him, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands and knees, smiled and threw out a sentence: "Pass the meal." ”
"Yes!" bowed to Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne, and Zhang Xuanfu stepped back and passed the meal.
And in the inner hall of the imperial study, Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne with his hands and knees, always looked at Leng Qing sitting on the pear blossom wood Taishi chair at the bottom of his right with a smile on his eyebrows, and said softly: "How about I use it for lunch today?"
In this kind of feudal dynasty, what an honor it is to be able to eat with a dignified son of heaven! In this case, the most normal expression should be to thank the Holy Grace......
So, Leng Qing, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, slid off the chair very consciously, knelt on her knees, and bowed down while saying, "The people's daughter bows and thanks the Holy Grace!"
Don't look at Leng Qing's behaving on her face, respectfully, but in fact, when she slid from the Taishi chair to the ground, especially at the moment when she knelt on her knees, Leng Qing actually only thought of three words in her heart: heart, good, tired......
Not long after Zhang Xuanfu left, it was about a few minutes, and he returned to the imperial study with ten young eunuchs wearing light blue eunuch hats, light blue eunuch clothes, and a vermilion lacquer food box.
After entering the palace gate of the imperial study, Zhang Xuanfu did not go to the inner hall, but stood beside the round pear blossom wooden table in the outer hall of the imperial study, directing the ten young eunuchs wearing light blue eunuch hats and light blue eunuch clothes to set the meal.
I saw that under the command of Zhang Xuanfu, the ten young eunuchs circled in front of the round pear blossom wooden table, opened the lid of the food box they were carrying in their hands in a uniform manner, and placed the dishes in the food box on the pear blossom wooden table one by one.
A food box has two layers, one dish is placed on one floor, and there are twenty layers of ten food boxes, which is a total of 20 dishes.
Twenty dishes are not too much, but less is not too much, but fortunately, the table top of the round pear blossom wooden table is large enough, and the twenty dishes are all served on a white jade plate that is not much larger than the palm of an adult, and it can be put on the table.
After the meal was finished, Zhang Xuanfu waved his hand to let the ten young eunuchs exit the imperial study. Zhang Xuanfu himself turned around and entered the inner hall of the imperial study.
While bowing to Liang Ruming, who was sitting on the throne, Zhang Xuanfu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the meal has been prepared, please eat!"
So, Liang Ruming got up, walked through the hollow and carved arch that separated the inner and outer halls of the imperial study, and walked towards the round pear blossom wooden table placed in the outer hall of the imperial study.
Behind Liang Ruming, Leng Qing followed step by step......
