Chapter 52
The next day, Mei Ru really sent someone to give Fu Zheng a thank you gift - a gold-painted plum blossom ink ingot made by Li Tingzhang.
When she left Beijing, Mei Ru thought that she would definitely meet Fu Zheng along the way, so this thank you gift was brought from the house. Speaking of which, when she returned to Beijing from Pingliang, she accidentally got a total of two ink ingots. When one side returned home, the ink ingot was given to the second sister, and the rest was also suitable for Fu Zheng.
There were many people, and Mei Ru couldn't give a thank you gift in a big way, so she sent a little maid with a raw eye.
When the clinker girl came back, there was an extra colorful brocade ruyi box in her hand, and she replied: "Third girl, this is a return gift from His Royal Highness King Yan, saying that it is to congratulate the girl on worshipping Mr. Pingyang as a teacher." β
Aiming at the box, Mei Ru had already frowned. Yichan next to her whispered: "This kind of thing can also be taken back casually?" How did you learn those rules? β
The little girl shrunk her neck, and was about to cry.
Mei Ru said coldly: "Don't hurry up and go back!" β
The little maid didn't stop at her feet, and hurriedly did as she was told.
The colorful brocade ruyi box turned around, and now it is back to Fu Zheng.
At that time, Fu Zhao was still in front of him, muttering and complaining: "Seventh brother, this road is really boring, I want to go to the back to find a follower." "They are princes, so naturally they have to accompany Tianzi Luan to drive in front, and they also live in various palaces. Behind the back are the carriages of various provinces. Fu Zhao has always been restrained by his seventh brother, and he has no chance to run around, let alone go to Mei Ru.
Hearing this, Fu Zheng still replied lightly: "There are many people. β
These four words are to refute his words, Fu Zhao is so bored that he can only have fun by himself.
After the eleventh brother left, Fu Zheng brushed Shi Dong at this time. Shi Dong hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the colorful brocade ruyi box.
Shen Shen glanced at the box, Fu Zheng raised his eyes to look at Shi Dong, his eyes were dark and cold. Shi Dong lowered his head and said softly: "Your Highness, it is indeed the third girl who returned it." β
Fu Zheng didn't speak, only waved his hand, and Shi Dong hurriedly retreated.
Quietly looking at the box, he put it away without saying a word.
The ink ingot from before had also been put away by him and carefully placed in the carved red lacquer brocade box. This ink ingot was made by the master Li Tingzhang, and it was extremely difficult to obtain, and there were only two in his palace. Fu Zheng recognized it just by looking at the gold-painted plum blossoms on it before. He knew that Mei Ru's thank you gift would definitely not be light. This man hates him, so he prefers to send him away with these precious things and draw a line.
At this time, he opened the brocade box and looked at the ink ingot, Fu Zheng put the colorful brocade Ruyi box and the ink ingot given by Mei Ru in one place. After another look, he closed the lid.
After half a month of tiring travel, the group finally arrived at the paddock.
Mei Ru only felt that the whole person was about to fall apart, and Mei Qian's weak body was even more unbearable, and she made an old mistake as soon as she stopped, her face was full of sickness, and she coughed non-stop. Of the three sisters, only Sister Ping is still in good spirits, and everything is fresh. Seeing that Sister Qian'er was sick and resting, Sister Ping could only go out to have a look with Yang Meiru.
Mei Ru has seen the paddock, and she is really not interested in these, but Sister Ping said vigorously: "The ancestor said that the three sisters should take care of each other outside...... "Mei Ru had no choice but to accompany Sister Ping to go out for a walk first."
Outside the tent is an endless field, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and the blue is like a wash.
Standing in the vast world, Mei Ru took a deep breath, only to feel refreshed. Goodbye, milky white tents fall on the grass near or far, like white wildflowers blooming between heaven and earth. After coming all the way to the present, Mei Ru finally realized a little meaning, and she smiled lightly.
Someone was riding a horse not far away, Sister Ping looked at it, pulled Mei Ru's sleeve and said, "Third sister, can you teach me?" "Everyone in the Mei Mansion knows that Mei Ru was wild when she was a child, and secretly followed Mei Xiang to learn to ride a horse in Zhuangzi, and almost fell into the ditch, and was severely trained by the ancestors. But speaking of which, the four sisters have also studied seriously with Mei Ru, so Sister Ping can only ask the third sister now.
"yes, follow, you still have to teach me." Meng Yunlan also came over to join in the fun. She hadn't forgotten what Mei Ru promised in Pingliang.
Mei Ru smiled playfully: "Then should you call me master?" β
"What master?" Fu Zhao ran over and said. The rules here are not so heavy, and he has nothing to do, as soon as he rests, he rushes to find Mei Ru.
Seeing Fu Zhao, Mei Ru naturally frowned quietly. She didn't want to get too close to this person, for fear of gossip, but this person wanted to come to her! What the hell.
Several people saluted Fu Zhao, and Mei Ru replied respectfully: "Your Highness, we are preaching about horse riding." β
As soon as he heard this, Fu Zhao pointed at Meng Yunlan and laughed: "This one didn't even step on Ma Peizi, so he wanted to learn the back?" β
Meng Yunlan's face turned cold, and his big round eyes glared at him, and he was furious.
Fu Zhao is still very happy.
Mei Ru couldn't see him like this, so she deliberately didn't speak at this time, just looked at Fu Zhao, and smiled with crooked eyes.
She smiled like this, Fu Zhao couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you laughing at?" β
"I'm laughing at you, Your Highnessβor my men." Mei Ru was still smiling, her eyes were bright, cunning and smart.
As soon as she said this, Meng Yunlan hid her face and smiled, instantly relieved.
Poked in the underbelly, Fu Zhao jumped to his feet angrily, and he said scoundrelly: "That's not counted, let's compete again." β
Mei Ru spread her hands and said prettyly: "Why do you want to compare again?" β
Not far away, several people were heading towards the big tent, walking along the road, and happened to take in the previous scene.
The sky is high and far away, the shallow grass is green, the beautiful eyes, the white queen, and the girl's unique slender waist and swollen breasts...... It's all fascinating.
But after a cursory glance, the prince already had some unbearable taste. The waist is too thin, I am afraid that he can hold it with one hand, and the chest must be white and soft, holding it in his hand...... and those peach blossom eyes, just looking at it from afar, the eye waves tickled his heart.
He wanted to take a closer look, and Fu Zheng next to him gently reminded: "Brother Huang, my father has been waiting in the tent for a long time. β
After he mentioned this, the prince remembered what was going on, and hurriedly came back to his senses and walked to the big tent.
Fu Zheng quietly glanced at the few people who were talking over there. His eyes fell on Mei Ru, seeing that she was still smiling, Fu Zheng's eyes were slightly gloomy, and his face was cold, and he couldn't wait to immediately bring this little thing who didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
Later that day, the queen summoned the young ladies who accompanied her from all the provinces to speak. Actually, he didn't say anything, but just called them over to take a look and take a look at some of them.
The three girls in Meifu are also going.
But since she rested in the tent, Mei Qian fell ill. She was lying there with a terrible white face, coughing non-stop, and she couldn't get up. Hearing the queen's summons, I was anxious for a while, and my cough became even worse. When the queen heard about it, she only let Mei Qian rest, and specially sent a doctor to come over to take a look.
Mei Ru could only lead Mei Ping over.
In the queen's tent, everyone knelt down and saluted, and stood there with their eyes and noses and hearts.
The queen was now sitting at the top, her eyes passing over everyone's faces. Zhou Suqing She had seen it, but the queen did not speak, and continued to look down quietly. When she met Mei Ru, who was born in person, the queen finally asked: "You are the student that Mr. Pingyang just accepted?" β
Mei Ru replied: "It's the courtier." β
The queen nodded, her gaze wandering between the few people, and waved her hand slightly. Everyone retreated silently, only Mei Ru and Zhou Suqing were left to speak.
Mei Ru was stunned.
The others were also stunned.
Isn't that interesting?
Only Zhou Suqing stood there expressionlessly.
The furnishings in this tent are simple, dignified and majestic, and Mei Ru stands underneath, a little uncomfortable.
This Empress Li had dealt with her in her previous life, and her mind was twisted and turned, but she was also a little stupid. Because the crown prince was really angry later, and Fu Zheng became more and more powerful, this Empress Li didn't have much of a good face every time she saw Mei Ru. Mei Ru was the most reluctant to enter the palace in her previous life, and as soon as she entered the palace, she would be told by the queen. Once she entered the palace on the first day of the first lunar month, she was picked out by Queen Li in public several mistakes, and she even wore a few more beads and hairpins. On the car back, Mei Ru couldn't bear it anymore and complained to Fu Zheng. Fu Zheng said lightly: "What do you care about her?" β
Mei Ru didn't expect him to answer, so she paused for a moment and whispered back, "It's not for you?" β
Fu Zheng sneered: "If it's for this king, let alone ignore her, how can she embarrass you?" He leaned over slightly. Mei Ru's heart skipped a beat and she lowered her eyes. In the next moment, the man raised his hand and took off two hairpins from her sideburns, and then sat back lightly...... It's just this action, Mei Ru's heart beat all the way. She lowered her head and thought, what is going on with this person today?
Later, she learned that Fu Zheng had seen her second sister that day......
Mei Ru hurriedly gathered her thoughts.
I heard Empress Li ask Zhou Suqing first: "Pei Jin, I heard that your painting was told by Mr. Pingyang last time?" β
"Yes." Zhou Suqing hurriedly replied, and smiled again, "The courtier's talent is really not as good as Miss Mei's half a point." β
Mei Ru frowned slightly, did this person compliment her too much?
On the other side, Empress Li was already asking her, "What did you learn from Mr. Pingyang?" β
Mei Ru replied truthfully, and Queen Li smiled: "These are unusual. She asked how she learned and where she had learned, and Mei Ru went back again, and Queen Li didn't say anything else, so she asked them to retreat. Mei Ru breathed a sigh of relief, quietly, and was led out of the tent by the grandmother in the palace.
As soon as the clinker came out of the queen's tent, she and Zhou Suqing met a person in an apricot yellow dress. When she heard the grandmother ask Ann to call the prince, Mei Ru felt cold, she lowered her head and only followed the courtesy. Zhou Suqing next to him is also.
The prince lowered his eyes slightly, and then smiled.
The person in front of him has a pink Ruyi pattern makeup gown, a honey-colored large brocade flower peony pattern brocade skirt, with a partial bun, and his hair is fixed with jasper Qibao exquisite hairpins, and the bead hairpin hangs down, lined with three thousand green silks, isn't it the smiling girl I saw in the day?
Looking at the side again, the goose yellow jacket and white skirt are gentle and dignified, and the appearance is also very good. But the decent one is less inexplicable than the previous one.
Thinking like this, the prince glanced at Mei Ru again, and then walked into the queen mother's tent.
When this person's gaze fell on the top of her head, Mei Ru could break out in a cold sweat all over her body, she really didn't have a good impression of this prince.
Zhou Suqing, the prince's gaze, naturally noticed it, glanced at Mei Ru, she looked ahead again, and did not speak.
