35. Chapter 35
It is said that it is to go to Naruyama, but in fact, it is a suburb outside Beijing, there is a specially vacated woodland, which has been enclosed as a royal hunting ground, and the place is not small, at least from the east to the west, and it takes more than half an hour to ride a horse at full speed. But it's not big, not even half of Bianliang City.
After getting out of the carriage, there were indeed patches of tents in the open space, and the people who came to Taifu Temple were ready, and when they went in, there were bedding and the like, tables and chairs, and even teapots and cups.
Jiao Wanwan smiled and turned her head to Li Niangzi and smiled: "If it weren't for Li Niangzi mentioning it, I guess I would have to bring a bunch of useless things." ”
Mrs. Li helped Jiao Wanwan take off the big cloak outside, and said with a smile: "The princess is also inexperienced, I just reminded me once, and next time, the princess won't need me to remind her." ”
"That's not for sure, Mrs. Li has lived so old, and she must have seen and heard more than me, but she doesn't need to be reminded by her mother when she is hunting and packing her luggage, and there are always other things to use her mother for." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, Zhao Defang followed Zhao Kuangyin, and at this time, she took a turn in a few rooms, not to mention, the tent prepared by Taifu Temple was really ...... Just like a real house, there is a main room, a bedroom, a study, and a bathing room, if it is not a little shorter than ordinary houses, it is really no different.
It was almost noon at this time, and Jin Mei came in with a smile and replied: "I said that I was from the kitchen, and I came to ask the princess what she wanted to eat at noon." The menu was also delivered, and the princess had something she liked, so she went to pick it up. ”
As he spoke, he handed over a list, which was quite complete, with meat and vegetables. Although it's not like at home, you can just tell what you want to eat, but there are many categories, and it can be regarded as quite attentive.
Jiao Wanwan pinched the list and hesitated, Zhao Defang was still with Zhao Kuangyin, and she didn't know where to use it for lunch. Moreover, Zhao Defang also said before that the crown princess didn't come, so she wanted a lot of the little ladies of Zhao Guangyi's family, do you want to call people over to eat together?
Just thinking about it, Lamei followed in: "Mrs. Hua Rui invited the lady to come over for lunch together, and several little ladies in the second prince's mansion have also passed." ”
Jiao Wanwan was even more undecided, she and this Lady Stamen had never crossed paths, and she had never seen this Lady Stamen after entering the palace a few times. It is said that she is the daughter-in-law of Queen Song, and Mrs. Hua Rui's holy favor is on par with Queen Song, and she has a high status, the two of them will definitely not be as close as sisters, and she, who is the daughter-in-law, should be on the side of Queen Song.
However, Queen Song did not come, there were no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys were kings. Even if you look at Zhao Kuangyin's face, you have to offer Mrs. Hua Rui. Let's go, she herself doesn't want to deal with Mrs. Hua Rui a little, but let's go, if she says something in front of Zhao Kuangyin, won't it affect Zhao Defang and Queen Song?
Zhao Kuangyin may think that her current attitude is the attitude of Queen Song, thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and Queen Song has always been dignified and generous, if Zhao Kuangyin misunderstands that she has resentment, then it will not be clear.
"Mother?" Lamei waited for a long time, and couldn't help but remind her loudly: "The big palace maid next to Mrs. Hua Rui is still waiting outside." ”
"Just say I'm changing." Jiao Wan said hurriedly, turning her head to look at Mrs. Li: "Lady thinks, should I go or not?" ”
Mrs. Li didn't hesitate at all, and nodded directly: "Naturally, I want to go, no matter how Mrs. Hua Rui is in the palace, in this hunting ground, she represents the official family." And the princess is not in this paddock for a day or two, so she can't never see each other in the future, right? Someone has to say a few words to Mrs. Blossom. ”
Jiao Wanwan sighed silently, hurriedly went to change her clothes, and dressed up slightly, and then took Mrs. Li and Jin Mei out of Mrs. Hua Rui's tent together. The tent is relatively thin, and from a distance, Jiao Wanwan can hear the laughter inside, the innocent and simple voice unique to a child.
Thinking about what Lamei said before, a few little ladies of Zhao Guangyi's family were also there, and the little awkwardness in Jiao Wanwan's heart suddenly disappeared, in fact, no matter how Empress Song and Mrs. Hua Rui did not deal with each other inside, but in front of Zhao Kuangyin, the two of them would definitely not come out, if she really considered Queen Song, it would be best to treat Mrs. Hua Rui as an elder. Father first and mother later, in this world, it seems that it is tolerant of women, but it is actually a society where men are respected.
Entering the door, Mrs. Hua Rui greeted her, no one arrived, the fragrance arrived first, the fragrance of flowers, coupled with the smile of the beauty, Jiao Wanwan felt that she was also big-hearted, almost all the beauties around her, and she had not become inferior.
"What kind of fat powder does Madame use? It looked like fifteen or sixteen, and my wife and I stood together, and we looked a few years older. Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, the topic between women, makeup and clothes are the safest.
Madame Hua Rui covered her mouth and smiled: "The princess really likes to joke, the slave family is dozens of years old, where can she compare with a smart little lady like the princess?" It's just that the fat powder is good, so that people look younger, and if the fat powder is used poorly, it will be the same as the old bark. ”
Jiao Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand: "I don't mean that, although the fat powder is used well, but if it is not born beautiful, it is not good to cover up the fat powder, Mrs. looks at it at a glance, it is the same as using no fat powder, it can be seen that the fat powder is used less, if you don't use it, maybe it will be more beautiful, maybe it is this fat powder, which stains the beauty of Mrs." ”
Mrs. Hua Rui's face was slightly red, and she smiled and pulled Jiao Wanwan's hand, Jiao Wanwan almost didn't shiver, the skin of that hand was too good, smooth and soft, as if there were no bones, I don't know if it was cold, and my hand was a little cold.
Jiao Wanwan is a layman, she only feels that it looks like a soft and hairless thing, and she can't experience the beauty of ice skin at all. If you look at it alone, such a snow-white complexion is really beautiful, but if the hands are too cold, it will always remind people of dead people.
"When I came just now, I heard you laughing, but what funny things did you say?" Jiao Wanwan hurriedly took advantage of the situation to walk to the side of several little ladies, touched the hair of the little ladies next to her, and asked with a smile.
The eldest lady is a little older, and she also knows the rules, so she hurriedly led a few younger sisters to get up and salute, and waited for Jiao Wanwan to sit down before she said with a smile: "I heard from Hua Rui Niangniang about the interesting story that my uncle and my father came to the paddock to hunt a few years ago." ”
Madame Hua Rui hurriedly said: "It's just teasing the children, it's not too early, let's set off early this morning, are you hungry at this time?" ”
As she was talking, the youngest little lady's stomach gurgled, and Mrs. Hua Rui turned her head to Jiao Wanwan and smiled: "The second princess wants to clean up the place for a few little ladies, and I don't have time to come over today, so let's eat together, I don't know your taste, if there is something you don't like, you must bear with me later." ”
How good Princess Li's idea is, but in terms of identity, Princess Li can find an excuse not to come, no one's younger brother and daughter-in-law will associate with the concubine of the uncle's family, but Jiao Wanwan can't, and then the concubine is also a high-grade concubine of the elders.
It didn't take long for the maids to come over with boxes, and this meal was quite delicious. Jiao Wanwan has a big heart, and she was still entangled in the identity and status of Mrs. Hua Rui before, but now that she has eaten her mouth, her eyes light up, and she can't care about anything else.
I didn't eat breakfast, I was hungry for most of the day, the world was big, and I ate the most.
After eating, he didn't stay long, and immediately said goodbye, with a little embarrassed blush on his face: "Defang didn't say that he wanted to eat at his father's place before, I'm afraid that if he comes back, he will be hungry, or he wants to drink tea or something, I'm not there, and he can't find anything." ”
Mrs. Hua Rui quipped: "I heard the queen mother say that you husband and wife are deeply in love, I didn't expect to see it today, sure enough, it is such a short time apart, the princess is also reluctant, then the slave family will not keep the princess and the mother, if you force it to stay, I am afraid that the princess will not have the heart to chat with the slave family." ”
"Madame, don't make fun of me, I'm also worried about the fatigue of this journey, if I don't know any more and disturb Madame's rest, I'm afraid Madame will hate me in her heart." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, in terms of thick skin, she really can't compare to these people, and hurriedly closed the topic: "Lunch has disturbed Mrs. for so long, I left here early, Madame should rest for a while, right?" “
As he spoke, he walked out of the tent and waved his hand: "Madame, stay quickly, go back and rest, there are maids to lead the way, you don't need to send me, let's talk again when we are free." ”
Leaving far away, seeing that there was no one else around, Jiao Wanwan took a breath, walked a few steps hurriedly, rushed back to her tent, and saw Zhao Defang sitting at the table drinking tea when she entered the door, Jiao Wanwan was a little surprised: "Dad didn't leave you to eat?" ”
Zhao Defang shook his head: "Naturally, I stayed, but the second uncle is in a hurry to hunt, and the interest is good, we finished eating early, come back and rest now, and go hunting in half an hour, I don't have time to accompany you in the afternoon, I will explain a few words first, you are also the first time to come to this paddock, and the terrain is not familiar, I am afraid that you will walk indiscriminately and encounter any danger." ”
As he spoke, he shouted outside the tent, and two guards came in, Zhao Defang nodded at the two people: "These two, Hu Yong, Hu Kang, and the two brothers, are the two best in my hands, they have been with you for the past few days, and there are two teams of guards, all of whom are dispatched by them, if you want to go out, bring someone with you." Our current location is the east side of the paddock, there are many fierce beasts in the west, there is a river in the north, and there are many small prey in the south. ”
Jiao Wanwan nodded hurriedly, and looked at the two brothers Hu Yong and Hu Kang, this fame is too interesting, but it is also pleasant to listen to. Looking tall and big, I don't know if I have a wife at home, if not, Jin Mei and a few of them, they are also beautiful, if they turn around and recognize their righteous sister, they can be regarded as a good match, right?
