Chapter 245: Wait and see

Finally finished breakfast, Xibao took Xiao Huanyan out of the house, did not take a carriage or bring any entourage, only the white ape followed, after all, Xibao still wanted Huanyan to experience the daily life of ordinary people.

Xiao Huanyan was happy when he left the house, if it wasn't for Xibao to lead, I'm afraid he would have to fly to the sky.

Children, in the end, are new and curious about all kinds of things, and they can't wait to look at it from shop to shop, stall to stall.

As long as Xiao Huan's words are not excessive, Xibao does not restrain her, after all, there is still no shortage of silver, and she has not been to this street for a long time, after all, she is still in the palace, and every time she goes out of the palace, she has to report to the princess, which is very troublesome.

Xiao Huanyan pulled Xibao's hand and stopped, and the white ape followed behind him with a smile on his face, over the years, the white ape has become more and more fond of this task, at least he can follow happily every time.

After shopping for a long time, Huan Yan shouted that he was thirsty, and Xibao had no choice but to sit down on the stall on the side of the road and asked for three bowls of sour plum soup to rest.

Xiao Huanyan jumped and jumped all the way, chattering and chattering for a long time, holding the porcelain bowl and drinking half a bowl in one go, Xibao helped her wipe her mouth while telling her to drink slowly.

Xiao Huanyan nodded, sat on the bench with his two little legs and drank the porcelain bowl, Xibao handed over a bowl and said, "White ape, you can also sit down and drink some sour plum soup to quench your thirst." ”

The white ape smiled: "It's okay, Madame use it first, this will be out of the sun, and the lowly position will block it first." ”

Xibao wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a handkerchief and said: "The sun is just right, you don't have to block it, children want to bask in the sun more, you sit down and drink, don't let this little girl finish drinking, but I want to beat your bowl of ideas." ”

The white ape smiled and sat down to take the porcelain bowl, drank half a bowl, and frowned slightly: "This is really far from Madame's craftsmanship, and it can only be drunk as water." ”

Xibao took a sip and said, "How can people spend a lot of money in a small business, but this taste is okay and can be drunk." ”

The white ape smiled and said, "The lowly position is a blessing because of following the lady." This mouth is also slowly swallowed, I have drunk Mrs. plum soup, and the other sour plum soup is not as good as my eyes, and I accompanied the prince to the banquet last time. took a sip of the sour plum soup during the banquet, and almost didn't spit it out, which made the prince scold! ”

Xibao smiled: "No wonder the old man said that I brought a few of you badly, it turned out that this was the case." ”

The white ape smiled: "Not really. ”

While chatting, Xiao Huanyan suddenly said with sharp eyes: "Mother." Uncle White Ape, what's that? ”

Xibao and the white ape turned their heads to see that several baby elephants were being held in cages and pushed through the street by carts.

Such a rare animal is rare even in royal gardens, not to mention the ordinary people on the street, everyone is curious to look at it from a distance, and it is as surprising as Huan Yan.

Xibao looked at the carts of baby elephants and asked, "White Ape, is the post house where the envoy of Siam is staying nearby?" ”

The white ape looked at it and said, "Yes, it's about two blocks away from here." Ao, these are Siamese tributes, which are really unusual, and I have only seen them once when I followed the prince to the south. ”

Xiao Huanyan said strangely: "Uncle White Ape, what the hell is that?" ”

The white ape laughed: "That's the elephant of Siam!" ”

"Elephants? No, didn't my mother say that elephants should have long snouts and crooked tusks, they have nothing but long trunks. ”

The white ape was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to explain, so Xi Bao said: "They were elephants when they were young, and now they only need to have a long trunk, and when they grow up." Naturally, there will be long, crooked tusks. ”

"Oh, where are they going?" Xiao Huanyan continued her curiosity.

"It should have been transported to the palace." White Ape Road.

"Yes, that's great, so you can see these elephants in Grandpa's garden in the future. Great, oh, great???" Xiao Huanyan said excitedly.

Xibao smiled and said: "Your imperial grandfather doesn't dare to let you enter the yard again, you forgot that when you entered the garden last year, you chased other people's white cranes and ran, and you almost fell into the lake." It's scary to think about it now. ”

That was the first time Xiao Huanyan saw the red-crowned crane, and he was very excited, and he chased the red-crowned cranes all over the garden, not for anything else, just to touch and see.

As a result, at the beginning, the red-crowned crane was too lazy to pay attention to a child like Huanyan, but who was Huanyan, this stubborn temper came up, and he was chasing the red-crowned crane, and the palace people who were waiting on the side were also hugging and chasing together, maybe they were chased, the red-crowned crane flew over the lake with an elegant wings, Xiao Huanyan was on the rise, and he didn't notice it for a while, so he chased it directly into the lake, fortunately, Qi Zhe passed by the yard at that time, and quickly scooped her up, otherwise how could there be such a lively little point now.

Not to mention, this little bit of courage is bigger than ordinary children, so he didn't lose half a tear, just lying in Qi Zhe's arms and looking at the red-crowned crane in the middle of the lake with a disappointed face and muttering: "My crane??"

made Qi Zhe choke enough on the spot, Qi Zhe took Huanyan, who was covered in mud, out of the yard and asked someone to notify Qi You.

When Qi You knew about it, he was furious and almost took off all the red-crowned cranes in the yard.

Fortunately, Huanyan didn't have a big deal, he couldn't even say that he was frightened, and the mud marks on his face were still thinking about the red-crowned crane he saw for the first time, and Qi You was also angry and funny.

Emperor Qi Wen couldn't laugh when he found out, and said that Huanyan had a feminine demeanor, and then gave two red-crowned cranes to Huanyan, and now they are being raised in the small garden of Yunshui Courtyard.

When I first got it, Xiao Huanyan was really happy, and he didn't even shout pain when he was beaten by Xibao in a fat meal, and after being beaten, he shouted twice, touched his little buttocks, and continued to chase red-crowned cranes in the small garden of Yunshui Courtyard to play, and the children in other courtyards were very envious, but now, the two red-crowned cranes have been forgotten by Xiao Huanyan to 108,000 miles, and now it is the task of literature and painting.

Thinking of this, Xibao could only stroke his forehead and said helplessly: "You can do this, the girls are all demure and elegant, you are just fooling around, I don't dare to take you into the palace." ”

Xiao Huanyan reluctantly said: "Mother, wasn't I young and ignorant at that time, besides, I was hungry and followed you or the fifth uncle into the palace these times, I was obedient, I don't believe you asked the fifth uncle to go." ”

Xibao pinched Huanyan's little nose and said, "Hmph, if it weren't for your good performance recently, my mother wouldn't have agreed to take you out for a walk." Okay, let's rest, let's go, and we'll have lunch at your fifth uncle's restaurant in a while. It's not good to be late. ”

Xiao Huanyan immediately jumped off the stool and said, "Mmmm, let's go, let's go??"

Xibao shook his head helplessly, and was led away by Huanyan, and the white ape behind him also smiled and continued to follow with a large bag of things????

The queen, who had entertained the Princess of Siam for a morning, was still at a loss, and took advantage of Princess Liu to accompany Tully to visit the imperial garden. The queen went to the Heart Pavilion.

In the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, Emperor Qi Wen was reading a book, and when he heard the queen at the door asking to see him, he sighed and said, "This queen is getting more and more breathless????? Ay??? Father-in-law Xue, go and invite the queen in. ”

Gonggong Xue nodded and went down to open the door, and personally invited the queen into the main hall.

The queen saluted, and Emperor Qi Wen got up and got off the dragon chair to His Royal Highness and said, "Didn't the queen accompany Princess Tully?" ”

The queen said respectfully: "The concubine and Princess Tully have been chatting for a long time, and Princess Yong is accompanying her to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. ”

Emperor Qi Wen motioned for the empress to sit down and said, "What, what did Tali say?" ”

The queen sat on a chair and said, "Princess Tully may not be accustomed to the soil. The spirit was a little bad, the concubine and the eldest princess, the second princess and Princess Yong chatted with her for a while, but they didn't say anything, just to talk about some family life and our Han culture. ”

Emperor Qi Wen smiled: "Ou, how does this Siamese princess know about Han culture?" ”

The queen smiled: "It's good, her cultivation and bearing in her speech are also good, like a woman who has been sinicized, this concubine also specially gave her some Hanfu, Princess Tully likes it very much, and has changed it." ”

"Yes. It seems that this Princess Tully really likes our culture. "Emperor Qi Wen said quietly.

The queen was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, what do you mean to this Siamese princess?" ”

Emperor Qi Wen smiled: "It depends on the attitude of the Siamese envoys this time, they haven't made up their minds yet, so I have to let it go first." ”

"Make up your mind? The emperor has no intention of marrying in Siam? The queen wondered.

"Not really. If there is no intention of marriage, they will not come all the way to bring a princess, but their meaning is not yet clear, and they are still in the process of testing, since they have not expressed their position, then wait and see. Emperor Qi Wen said.

"What should the concubine do? Please also ask the emperor to make it clear. The queen knelt down.

Emperor Qi Wen smiled: "You have always been smart, do you still need to teach me about this matter, but you are a woman, if you don't have this intention, it's fine, if you really have this intention, you are just the difference between multiple daughters and multiple daughters-in-law, what is so difficult to deal with." ”

The queen was stunned and said, "Does the emperor mean not to object?" ”

Emperor Qi Wen took a sip of tea and said: "Siam has a relationship with our dynasty by marriage, although it is a little long, but in the end it is still a relative, since people are not far away, and it is a matter of profit for both parties, I am happy to give Siam this face, but it depends on how they decide, if they go back, then choose a marquis from among the children of the courtiers, let him go back with the princess, if he stays here, then he should be cautious, after all, people can't say that our big country bullies people is not." ”

The queen nodded and said, "What the emperor said makes sense. ”

Emperor Qi Wen sighed and said: "You are the queen, the mother of a country should be more concerned about such a marriage, I handed over Princess Tully to you, just to let you take care of it, first observe and observe the child's temperament, if it is suitable, it will not be put in a suitable position, after all, she is also a princess, these days you will accompany her more, don't detain the child in the palace and outside the palace, just send more people to protect it, and when the Siamese envoy returns, this matter will be a little eyebrow-raising." ”

The queen said: "The concubine understands, since she is a princess, the concubine will be particularly concerned, and her actions will not be restricted by the concubine, so please rest assured." ”

"Well, this matter is handed over to you not only because you are the queen, but also because you are the queen mother of the whole world, you should observe it during this time." Emperor Qiwen said.

"Yes, the concubine understands, so the concubine won't bother the emperor to see the excerpts, and will leave first." After that, the queen walked out of the Heart Nourishing Hall with a relaxed mood. (To be continued.) )
