As soon as the draft was mentioned, the Ministry of Rites immediately became busy, and the powerful families also hurriedly began to count the school-age girls in the family, and counted up and down, waiting for their children to enter the palace and soar into the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Tong didn't care about these things, and Chang Runzhi liked to nag in his ear, saying that he hadn't watched the draft and wanted to get close to these proud women selected from the folk and aristocracy.

Liu Tong looked funny, but she could only respond to her and said that the draft in the palace has the eyes of the emperor and concubine, if she wants to see it, it may not be in accordance with the rules. If she really wanted to see it, he could only mention it to the emperor quietly to see what the emperor meant.

Chang Runzhi thought that this was not a big deal, and even if Emperor Taichang refused, it was nothing, so he readily agreed.

Ten days later, Emperor Taichang left the palace as promised, followed by the queen's mother.

The two dressed up as husband and wife of a wealthy family, and leisurely wandered up and down the streets of the capital.

Because the queen mother also left the palace, Liu Tong could only pull Chang Runyi out.

Tao Tao must also follow, very resolutely, Liu Tong doted on his daughter, so he also brought her with him.

After the two couples met, the queen and Chang Runzhi also went to the street for a while, and went to a few silk and jewelry shops in the capital.

There are no good things in the palace, but the folk shops still make the queen feel fresh and ingenious.

The four of them talked and laughed and went to the "Grand Theater" built later by the Xixing Society.

The queen did not give birth to a daughter, although Emperor Taichang also had a princess, but the princess is getting older, and she is no longer a delicate and simple little girl, so as soon as she saw Tao Tao, the queen was very happy, and sat down after arriving at the theater, and insisted on holding Tao Tao into her arms.

Although Tao Tao is congenitally a little weak, he has also raised it in the past few years.

Chang Runzhi warned her to call her uncle and aunt outside, and Tao Tao obediently called people according to what Chang Runzhi said.

The little girl's voice is delicate, and the queen can't love it.

"After the draft, there will be more people in the palace, presumably in a year or two, the little princess should also have it."

Chang Runzhi said with a smile: "If my sister likes it, let the imperial doctor condition your lower body and give birth to a little princess by yourself." ”

"Me? Where can I ......" The queen laughed and said, "I'm a lot old." ”

"Where's the mother?"

"I'm five years older than you." The queen smiled and nodded her forehead: "Giving birth to a child at this age, doesn't it mean that people want to say that I am an old clam and a pearl?" It's embarrassing to say it. ”

The queen's age is indeed a bit old in this era, after all, even her eldest son is close to the age of a weak crown, how young can she be? However, she has always been in good health, although she is a little old, but it is not impossible to have another child after she wants to adjust properly.

Chang Runzhi just mentioned this, but the queen didn't agree, so she didn't deepen the topic.

The two sisters talked about the child and chatted lively. The brothers sitting in front of them listened to their conversation.

Emperor Taichang smiled, thinking that he and the queen only had a son-in-law and no daughter-in-law, it was indeed a little regrettable. He touched his chin, thinking that he should stop working hard and give birth to a decent princess?

Liu Tong is much more proud. He has sons and daughters, both sons and daughters!

The repertoire of the Xixing Society is still novel and funny, although Yao Chengxi is already an official, he is still the dissolute and uninhibited character, and he is still the "consultant" of the Xixing Society's plays.

The Xixing Society's performance method is unique, and many people come to the theater to watch, and other theater troupes in the capital have begun to learn from their performance form.

Although it is nondescript, and laughter or something is not something that is easy to obtain, it has to be said that the diversity of performance forms has become a trend.

The people of Great Wei, especially the people of the capital, have a much richer entertainment life than before.

After watching the performance for an hour and a half, the four of them left the Westbound Society.

The scenery of the capital has not changed much compared to a few years ago, and Emperor Taichang can even find his once familiar faces from the shops and stalls in the streets and alleys.

"Runzhi and I like to go to a wonton stall to eat wontons." Liu Tong said with a smile: "Their wonton stall has been open for ten years now, and after I came out of Zhongguan Hutong, I went to their house to eat wontons, and I was worried that their business was booming, and the wontons were not as thin as before, and the soup was delicious, but in fact, their business was sincere, and they didn't make any money, so they began to cut corners." ”

"Oh? Hearing you say that, I want to eat their ravioli. Emperor Taichang smiled.

Liu Tong shook his head: "People are only open for half a morning, so it's not the right time for us to come." ”

"This ......" Emperor Taichang pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will go to your house for one night today, and after I take your fifth sister-in-law to eat tomorrow morning, I will go back to the palace without delay." ”

"There's a small pilgrimage meeting tomorrow......"

"It's fine."

It was rare for Emperor Taichang to go out of the palace, and Liu Tong didn't want to ruin his interest, not to mention that he really hoped that Emperor Taichang could taste the folk delicacies, so he readily agreed, but he still sent someone back to the house, informing the concubine that a distinguished guest came to the door, and asked the concubine to order someone to pick up a house.

Emperor Taichang, who left the palace, was like an ordinary person, although he was well dressed, he did not have the posture of a rich man at all, and he could even chat with the beggars on the street.

Passing by the stalls opened by ordinary people, he will also help people shout twice and ask if the business is good.

For Liu Tong, this is the fifth brother he is most familiar with.

The former King Rui was such a free and uninhibited person when he was not contaminated with power. He likes to interact with people, eclectic, although the idle king ignores the court, but there will be no shortage of talents around him.

This is his charm, and among the people who are impressed by this charm, Liu Tong is also one of them.

Although the fifth brother after sitting on the throne looks faint and has the majesty of the emperor on weekdays, which makes him sometimes afraid and suspicious, but at this time, Liu Tong has never believed that his fifth brother is still the fifth brother as he is at this moment.

It's just that he has an extra identity, so that he can worry about the country and the people openly.

After Emperor Taichang finished talking with the beggar, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

Liu Tong asked him what he was laughing at, and Emperor Taichang said: "The beggar said that he is not afraid of being hungry when he begs now." ”

Liu Tong thought about it carefully and understood what Emperor Taichang meant.

Because the people are rich, they will have surplus money to give to beggars, so that beggars will not go hungry.

This shows that the people live a healthy life and have surplus food at home.

It seems that the effects of several local wars in the previous years have subsided.

This is of course a good thing for Emperor Taichang.

On this night, Emperor Taichang rested in the palace of Rongjun Palace, and naturally no one knew about it.

But it is not so easy to hide from the people in the Rongjun Palace.

The concubine knew that the emperor's micro-service was coming, and she was worried that she couldn't do it. Emperor Taichang didn't care, and after seeing the concubine, he recruited Liu Tong's two sons to test their homework.

Liu Tong sat next to him, nervous, as if he had returned to the time when he was young, when his fifth brother also took the exam for his homework.

You know, he didn't like to study when he was a child...... (To be continued.) )
