(xii) Batrou provocation
With the help of his sister-in-law, Chongwu finally stabilized his mother, at least until Jin'er and Yu'er married the princess, he would not force him to marry again. He thought bitterly, should he learn from his eldest brother, and when he finished attending the wedding, he would leave, and he would go out to travel for a year and a half.
However, this is just thinking about it, and now he can't do anything, because just now the eldest sister passed the decree, and the prince of Qingluo Kingdom arrived, and let him be responsible for accompanying the prince of Qingluo Kingdom during his time in Dajin.
Wan Yan Chao arrived in the capital today, although there is still a month before the wedding of the two princes, but Wan Yan Chao arrived early, not only he came, but the eldest prince of Liaodan, Batru, also arrived, the reason why the two of them arrived in advance of this Mo Duo day, one is to have the opportunity to meet Mingzhu, one to solve their lovesickness, and the other is to prevent the other party from taking advantage of his absence to sit down on Mingzhu for anything wrong.
Cai Wei knew that the two of them had always been incompatible for Mingzhu, lest something happen, so they let them live separately, Batru was arranged to live in a summer resort on the outskirts of Beijing, and Wan Yanchao lived in a post house outside the city, and handed over the task of watching Wan Yanchao to Chongwu, asking him to take a good look at Chao'er, don't let him get too close to Mingzhu, lest there be any rumors and rumors, ruin Mingzhu's reputation, and by the way, tell him, don't let him fight with Batru.
Wan Yanchao hadn't seen Mingzhu for a year, and he missed it, and he planned to take advantage of this time to talk to Mingzhu about lovesickness, but he was so entangled by this little uncle that he even sent a few people to guard his door when he was sleeping, and he didn't give him a chance to see Mingzhu at all, and hated him so much that he gritted his teeth.
However, if he is seen by him in this way, Wan Yan Chao is not Wan Yan Chao, this kid looks harmless to humans and animals, in fact, he has a lot of ghost eyes, he was accompanied by Chongwu for a few days, and found that Chongwu stared at him closely, so he refused to go out of the house one day, only saying that he was in the summer vacation and wanted to rest in the house.
From morning to evening, the prince didn't even show his face, he slept alone on the couch, and no one was allowed to come in and disturb him.
At first, Chongwu heard that Yan Chao had a heat stroke, and he was exposed to the sun while playing polo yesterday, so it was good to rest, but he didn't worry until the evening, when he didn't see the prince come out.
Usually heat stroke will not kill people, just drink some mung bean soup and sleep, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are only afraid of what if, Wanyanchao's status is precious, in case you catch up with bad luck, it will be bad if you really have something wrong in Dajin, and it will be difficult for my sister and brother-in-law to explain to the emperor and queen of Qingluo Kingdom!
He got up in a hurry, ordered his attendants to enter the palace immediately, and urgently summoned the imperial doctor to come to the post house to see Wan Yanchao, and he ignored the obstruction of Wan Yanchao's subordinates, and forced himself to break into the dormitory where Wan Yanchao was resting.
When he entered, only Wan Yanchao's personal attendant leaned on the chair and took a nap in the dormitory, and there was no one else in the room.
"Foolish thing! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already suffering from heat stroke, why did he still block the bed curtain and prevent the wind from penetrating? How do you serve? ”
Chongwu scolded, and walked over quickly, wanting to pull Yan Chao's bed curtain.
"Mu Gongzi-" When the attendant saw Mu Chongwu going to pull the bed tent, he hurriedly strung it up, stopped in front of him, and said nervously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, don't ask the slave to pull the bed curtain open, and the slave is also acting according to the order!" ”
Chongwu saw that his expression was flustered and his language was contradictory, and he was suddenly suspicious, but he nodded and said, "It's okay, then don't pull it away, so as not to upset His Royal Highness the Prince."
When the attendant heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Yes, the prince is nothing serious, just sleep well, Mu Gongzi should please!" “
Chongwu turned around, looking like he was about to leave, and while the attendant was unprepared, he suddenly raised his palm and hit the couch.
With this palm, he only used one percent of his strength, and the palm wind could only blow the bed tent open. "Hey, Mu Gongzi, what are you doing here?"
Wan Yanchao's attendant shouted, and at this moment, under the floating bed curtain, he saw 'Wan Yanchao' lying on the couch with his face inward, but he didn't move.
Chongwu couldn't see the face of the person on the couch, but he was sure that the person on the couch was by no means Wan Yan Chao, it was someone else who pretended to be, if the person lying on the couch was Wan Yan Chao, when his internal strength passed, with Wan Yan Chao's kung fu, it was impossible to lie there indifferent, unless he was really terminally ill.
However, if he was terminally ill, his guards would have already panicked, how could they be so calm and calm?
Therefore, he snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Bold minion, you still dare to hide it from my son?" Say, where did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go? “
Seeing that it had been exposed, the attendant had no choice but to kneel down, crying and saying with a sad face: "Mu Gongzi, the slave is also ordered to stay here, where is His Royal Highness the Prince, and the slave has no way of knowing......"
…。
In the best Tsing Yi class theater in the capital of Dajin, it is overcrowded and bustling
On the gorgeous and luxurious stage of the background layout and decoration, Hua Dan dressed as a noble concubine is singing drunkenly, and those thick and majestic palaces are beautiful and magnificent, which can be described as: "Glass clock, amber is thick, small groove wine drops pearl red, cooking dragon cannon phoenix jade fat crying, Luo Wei embroidered curtain around the incense wind." Playing the dragon flute and beating the drum; Hao tooth song, thin waist dance.
However, no matter how beautiful the set is, it is not as good as the young man in the private room.
The young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a Yang Fei-colored golden double Xiao Haitang brocade silk dress, covered with a dark purple embroidered pink peony wide-sleeved feather gown, with a pale belt around his waist, and a small fragrant folding fan in his white jade-like hands.
'He' just stood in the most expensive private room on the second floor, looking down at the stage below.
No matter how complicated the colors are, they have become the foil for the beauty of this young man, and 'he' is dazzling and crystal clear. But there is an indescribable amazement and bewitching between his eyebrows, and that kind of decisive beauty is simply heartbreaking.
Peerless.
The audience in the audience was shocked by this peerless face, how could they still be in the mood to watch the actors on the stage babbling and humming, almost twisting their heads and looking up in the direction of the private room. In a chaotic state of thought, the young man, who seemed to be favored by heaven and earth, smiled slightly from behind the half-open folding fan in the direction of the audience.
A kind of rhyme lingers between his eyebrows like this, making people unable to read, inexhaustible, and unclear; People can't help but look at it again and again.
"Wan Yanchao, why do I think they are not watching the show, they seem to be watching me?"
After folding the fan, Mingzhu smiled a little nervously, the first time she disguised herself as a man and went out of the palace, and she secretly came out to play with Wan Yan Chao, if she was spied out, she would definitely be disappointed behind the scenes and her father.
Wan Yanchao, who was helping her pour tea, heard her words, immediately put down the teacup and appeared on the railing with her, when he saw those amazing eyes downstairs, he unconsciously reached out and pulled her in, and said, "Aren't they all looking at you!" With you, everything in the world will be eclipsed, let alone a play! ”
When Mingzhu heard this, he immediately said uneasily: "Let's go, there are too many people here, if people recognize me and reach the ears of my father and queen mother, they will definitely be angry." ”
Wan Yanchao said: "Okay, then you drink this tea first and then leave, I will let the tea cool, eight points of heat, just right." ”
Mingzhu listened, took the tea, and drank it slowly.
She is the princess of the Great Jin Kingdom, and the only daughter of the saint today, is a real golden branch and jade leaf, since she was a child, she was carefully raised by her father and mother, so her upbringing is excellent, when drinking tea, she drinks it according to the standard tea ceremony posture, and even the movement of putting the cup is soft and charming, like dancing.
When going downstairs, Mingzhu and Wan Yanchao walked side by side, every step was the same distance, today she was wearing men's clothes, in normal times, the step shaking ear pendant on her head when she walked remained still, and the skirt was like ripples with the footsteps.
The audience downstairs watched silently as a pair of young men like children passed by, and only came back to their senses when they disappeared, and immediately someone sighed: "Oh! There are still such wonderful people in the world, and I finally saw it today! ”
"I really don't know whose family these two sons are, this posture is not comparable to the top brand of the Ruyi Gu Pavilion!"
"Phew, what is a small pavilion, it's just a plaything for people to play, you look at these two sons, wearing them, you can see that they are the noble sons of the princes and princesses, how can you use the small pavilion to compare with others?"
"If you want me to see, maybe these two sons are our prince and the king of Fu, otherwise who can still look good, and their age is about the same as that of the prince and the king of Fu, it should be that the prince and the king of Fu came out to make a private patrol......"
"No, no, the prince and King Fu are twin brothers, and they should look similar, but just now these two are more than a head apart, and they don't look like each other at all, definitely not the prince and King Fu ......"
When everyone was discussing, Wan Yanchao had already left the Tsing Yi class with Mingzhu and came to the famous Shu Dingxiang Restaurant in Beijing.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, Wan Yanchao frowned, took out a silver ticket, and said to Xiao Er: "Go and tell your shopkeeper that I have covered the restaurant today, let him clear the restaurant immediately, and not a single diner is allowed to stay." ”
Xiao Er took the silver ticket of five hundred taels, and immediately opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time to understand what this arrogant son was talking about......
Mingzhu looked at Xiao Er's back and said to Wan Yan Chao: "Just because we came to eat, we drove people away, isn't it good?" ”
Wan Yanchao also knew that it was not good to do this, but there was no way, no matter where Mingzhu appeared, it would attract everyone's attention, he tried his best to get rid of the golden cicada, get rid of Mingzhu's little uncle, and it took a few days to make an appointment with Mingzhu, the two got along for less than an hour, and they were drowned out by everyone's eyes.
It was rare to be alone with Mingzhu, and he didn't want to be disturbed between them, especially when he saw the amazing or greedy gazes of those men when they saw Mingzhu, which made him feel very bad.
So, knowing that it was wrong to drive people out with silver, I still did it!
"It's already past the meal at this point, and I think these diners have eaten about the same, so I helped them settle the bill for nothing, but I just wanted them to leave a little early, nothing bad."
Chao'er explained.
After a while, Xiao Er ran back without seeing his teeth, and said to the two with a smile: "The two guest officers, the shopkeeper has sent someone to clear the field, please come upstairs with the little one, and the little one will introduce the special dishes of the store to the two later......"
Tianzi, is the best private room of Shu Dingxiang, which is large and wide, luxuriously decorated, and then eats here, the cost of the private room alone is three taels at a time.
However, no matter how luxurious the private room in Shu Dingxiang is, it is just ordinary for Wan Yanchao and Mingzhu, who have lived in the inner garden of the palace since childhood, and after they sat down in the Tianzi number, they ordered a few signature dishes, and then ordered Xiao Er to go down.
Xiao Er knew that these two people were rich masters, and he didn't forget to sell them when he went out: "Two sons, do you want to help you call a few girls who sing music to help you have fun?" ”
Without waiting for Mingzhu to speak, Wan Yanchao had already changed his face in vain, and he shouted angrily: "Get out!" ”
Xiao Er was so scared that he ran away....
Looking at the appearance of the little second fart, Mingzhu couldn't help but "giggle" and laughed, the flowers and branches of laughter trembled, and the voice was as beautiful as a lark.
"If you don't scream, you won't scream, what are you murdering? Look at how scared Xiao Er! ”
Wan Yanchao said: "It's his own bastard, and he doesn't look at who we are, just disgust me with the pickled things he likes!" ”
When he said this, he didn't deliberately please Mingzhu, but from the bottom of his heart to reject those women who laughed and sang, from the day he had the consciousness of marrying a daughter-in-law, Mingzhu was the best choice for his future wife. He is a proud and paranoid guy, in his heart, the women in this world, only Mingzhu can match him, and the rest of the women are mud under his feet, and he doesn't care about it at all.
Therefore, in order to get an ideal daughter-in-law, he ignored Nangong Yi's difficulties, and over the years, he spent most of his time in the Jian'an Hou Mansion of the Great Jin Kingdom, so that he could meet Mingzhu at any time. provoked his grandfather and grandmother to often shed tears because they missed him.
However, fortunately, he will be able to marry Mingzhu back next year, and by then, he will no longer have to suffer from the travel between the two places......
Because there are only Mingzhu and Wan Yanchao as guests, Shu Dingxiang's chef only serves this table, and the meals are quickly prepared and served one after another.
Steamed bear's paw, roasted duck, Songhua tripe, assorted Su plate, canned pheasant, cold salad three silks, vegetable python, whitebait, steamed hash ......
Originally, Yan Chao wanted to order it again, but Mingzhu didn't let it, there were only the two of them, and they couldn't eat these dishes, and it would be a waste to order too much.
Since she was a child, she has learned many good habits from her mother, for example, saving is one of them.
Mother said, it's okay to eat, but you can eat as many good meals as you want, but you can't waste them, she still has too many dishes today, but she doesn't have many opportunities to eat with Wan Yanchao, and it's the first time to eat together alone, so it's inconvenient to educate him to be frugal or something, so he made an exception to let him order so many dishes.
"Come, this is your favorite roast duck, try to make it in the palace."
Wan Yanchao sandwiched a piece of duck meat and thoughtfully put it on the plate in front of Mingzhu's eyes, he already knew Mingzhu's likes and dislikes ten years ago.
Mingzhu picked up the duck and just put it in his mouth, when he suddenly heard Xiao Er's cry outside: "This master, you can't go up, this place has already been ...... by someone."
Before the words "down" could be uttered, the door to the room was slammed open.
The man broke in, he was dressed in an ink-colored silk robe, embroidered with cumbersome patterns, black hair according to the style of the Liaodan people, braided with jewels, wearing a ring in the left ear, eyes as deep as an abyss, a pure gold scimitar hung on his waist, which was inlaid with a large piece of ruby, the color of the gem, reflecting the blood-red color of the green eyes, like a bloodthirsty wolf seen in the grassland.
Batrou!
Mingzhu's brows furrowed, this guy always fights his own ideas again, those eyes are always staring at her, and the cold air is coming out of her body, as if she is being targeted by a hungry wolf.
"You go down, this is Da Jin, he doesn't dare to make a mistake." Wan Yanchao glanced at Xiao Er and ordered.
"Yes! Be! ”
Xiao Er couldn't wait to leave this place, because he could see that the alien had a bad face, as if he was going to kill someone, and although the young man inside had the same face as usual, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was full of anger.
It seems that there is going to be a fight, or it is going to be a fight, he has to dodge quickly, how far can he run......
Chao'er still maintains a good upbringing, and she didn't get mad at Batru, because Mingzhu ran out with him in micro-clothes, in case the fight attracted people and exposed Mingzhu's identity, it would hinder Mingzhu's reputation, and he would never do anything that would hurt her!
Batru walked to the table with his long legs, and sat down in his chair as casually as if he were at home.
Wan Yanchao stared at him and said coldly, "I don't remember if I invited you to dinner." ”
Batru snorted: "Are you here to eat with you?" If it weren't for the sake of seeing her, this king would not have bothered to sit at the same table with you. ”
After speaking, he looked at Mingzhu and said, "Princess, what is good about him, why don't you follow me!" ”
