Chapter 139: Dating
"Your Highness is too angry." Guan Qianyi got up calmly and paced back and forth a few steps, "This king just handled a case, where did he come from to target His Highness?" His Highness's face is not so big. β
"You'reβIt'sβ" It's so presumptuous! Beichen was so angry that his hands trembled.
Li Wei hurriedly pulled him aside, patted his hand gently, Beichen Luo turned his head and looked at her aggrievedly, "Imperial sister, you know best how Cheng Diansi is a person, the imperial sister values her so much, why don't you help, cousin can't be dismissed for such reasons." β
Li Wei was helpless, "Brother Huang, there is another inside story in this scientific expedition. Chen Duozuo made a big fuss in the examination room, and dug out a group of people who secretly cheated from his mouth, one of them was named Liu Yinsheng was recommended by Cheng Guogong, not only openly cheating in the scientific examination, but also found out that he secretly bribed hundreds of officials, bribed two million in silver, and involved more than 100 officials. The Cheng family must have an explanation for this matter, your father-in-law Cheng Guogong is old, Dandan is extremely filial, and your uncle Cheng Pei is still on the frontier, this matter can only fall on Dandan's shoulders. β
Beichen Luo was a little dumbfounded, "But, but this matter has nothing to do with my cousin." β
Li Wei looked at Guan Qianyi in embarrassment, and the latter said, "The government affairs of the country are not exempt from responsibility if you look innocent. Since Cheng Diansi can stand up for the Cheng family, it is naturally because she is a member of the Cheng family, she is not only Cheng Diansi in the court, but also a descendant of the Cheng family. If Cheng Guogong is responsible for this case, then the Cheng family will suffer more. β
Although it is always said that family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs are the affairs of the world, but these things involve the greatest interests, how can they be distinguished. In the case of putting the interests of the family first, how to minimize the loss is the best way to act.
Guan Qianyi said, "Your Highness is only worried about the relationship between the Cheng family and the in-laws, but he doesn't know how to consider the entire Cheng family, let alone the entire situation in the court. Wei Taifu, Qi Taishi and the Cheng family were evenly matched in the court, but they could ensure the stability of the court, and neither the king nor His Majesty were willing to weaken the power of the Cheng family, so they thought of a secret compromise. Your Highness should know this now. β
Beichen Luo has nothing to say, and it is reasonable. He felt unable to refute it.
Li Wei glanced at him a few times, and Beichen walked out of the Chongming Hall in frustration, and didn't come to disturb him again.
In the Chongming Palace, Guan Qianyi looked at the space that had finally been vacated for the two of them. I can't help but be happy. He is indeed targeting Beichen Luo, but he just wants to make Beichen Luo feel that he is at a loss and at the same time he can't find a flaw, but also to frustrate his sharpness, and by the way, hit the power of the Cheng family, and take the power in the hands of the palace front division.
However. Guan Qianyi's careful thinking did not explain to Li Wei, Li Wei thought that Cheng Dandan's dismissal was too harsh, so she quietly changed her opinion, and did not tell Guan Qianyi about it.
Her handwriting is now very similar to Beichen Ai, and she can occasionally be directly reviewed. Now she picked out a vermilion pen and wrote a few lines on the recital. After writing, Guan Qianyi didn't pay attention, so he closed it gently. Seeing him look over, he smiled again and diverted his attention:
"Lord Wang. Tomorrow is the Crowned Eagle Festival, and the outside of the palace will be very lively. Let's go on a date, shall we? β
He frowned and nodded, "Okay." β
There are a few days of marking time after the scientific examination, and the annual crown and duck festival of the people is coming, Li Wei takes this opportunity to plan to enjoy the world of the two.
The crown of the festival is the unique Valentine's Day of Beichen, because "a beautiful and kind woman went to Beijing to look for the husband of the scientific expedition, on this day when the street met the husband of the high school riding through the city, the husband came to her side, for her to bring the crown of the flower. The two have lived happily ever after" has gained some romantic origins.
Although it is impossible to test whether the story is true or not, because the Crown Duck Festival is three days after the scientific examination, the students are still anxiously waiting for the results of the scientific examination, and most of the people from other places are stranded in Beijing. So it was very lively outside the imperial city.
For tomorrow's date, Li Wei was dazzled when picking out clothes at night.
Mama was picking up her clothes and nagging:
"It's hard to go out, you have to dress up nicely, put on these golden steps, and get up early tomorrow. Mama dressed up Haosheng, from head to toe, so that everyone on the street was dazzled. β
Li Wei took off some golden steps, "Mama, we can't be too eye-catching, there are many people on the street, and thieves grab a quasi-child." β
"Look at you, you have no guts, there are guards following, where did the thief have the courage to rob?" Mama Bi nodded her head and picked up the jewelry on the dresser one by one.
Li Wei lowered her head and thought for a moment, frowning and silent: This is her date with the prince, and the guards are still following behind their buttocks? What else is this like dating?
"Isn't it true that you don't want to be guarded again? That's not going to work. β
Mama Bi seemed to know what she was thinking, "It's not as calm as you think, you have to bring a guard." Don't blame Mama for saying that you, it's too little to go out with two guards on weekdays, when the emperor was alive, when he didn't leave the palace with more than a dozen people? There are four guards and two girls, not to mention the guards who follow in the shadows. It's just you messing around. β
"However, this time I am with the regent, and it will be fine with him."
"Your Majesty believes that Lord Regent, this is a good thing. The two of you really should have more time to be together, and it's not good for more than one person to follow. But after all, your daughter's family, how can you do without a personal slave and maid by your side? β
"Then Mama will follow me tomorrow when she is free. Mama hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to have fun and see what this lively Kyoto is like. Li Wei knew that Mama Bi had entered the palace since she was fourteen years old, and now she had never left the palace to take a look after fourteen years, if she couldn't stand it.
"You should read Grandma, and accompany Your Majesty."
In the end, she chose a cherry lime color dress, white velvet on the outer shoulders, and green silk embroidered shoes.
The next day, she dressed up as a man in blue on weekdays, put all her dresses into her own carriage, and wrapped them in things. In order to surprise Guan Qianyi, she set the place where the two met at the Liu'an Pavilion near the lake.
After changing her skirt in the carriage, she waited anxiously for the two to meet, fantasizing about the scenes of him seeing her women's clothes one by one, and covering her mouth in the carriage happily.
Mama Bi was with her, and when she saw her happy appearance, she smiled, "Why are you so happy?" The girl is older and wants to get married. β
Li Wei finally felt shy, and turned her head to ignore Mama Bi's jokes.
When the carriage turned into the street on the east side, Cui Yuece stopped the carriage, and the carriage in front of him, which was brighter and more gorgeous, also stopped.
"This is the carriage of the princess's mansion, and those who know each other should quickly give way-"
The coachman arrogantly ordered them to give way.
Li Wei was annoyed. "Cui Yue, drive people away."
"Master, if you want to drive people away, you can only come hard." Cui Yue felt that the coachman opposite was not a reasonable person.
"Whatever you want. Just drive it away! β
Cui Yue answered, and within a moment, he only heard a few screams outside, rolling on the ground, and heard the sound of the carriage retreating. Cui Yue had already returned to the carriage and drove forward.
Unexpectedly, Ma Jingshan in the carriage jumped out of the carriage and stopped directly in front of Cui Yue.
"You are so bold, do you know who this county lord is?!"
Cui Yue shook his head, "I don't want to know." β
"Y-What do you say!" Ma Jingshan stretched out her fingers and pointed at him, "Miss Ben is the princess of the princess's mansion, you open your dog's eyes to see clearly, dare to intercept the carriage of the county lord, don't die, right!" β
Ma Jingshan, who was about to continue scolding, saw a delicate hand stretched out in the carriage. She snorted coldly again, and was about to see what kind of character it was, but the next moment she looked like she had seen a ghost, her face turned pale and a little frightened, and she snorted:
"Mama Bi?"
Mama Bi smiled kindly, got out of the carriage, and saluted respectfully, "Look at the appearance of the county lord, as if she has seen a ghost, the slave and maid look so terrible?" β
"Huh. Mama Bi, you laughed. Ma Jingshan could only laugh a few times awkwardly, and she didn't dare to have a temper in front of this self-proclaimed slave mother.
No wonder she was so scared, she really suffered a big loss at the hands of this grandmother when she was a child. It was three years ago, and she chased the Lord Regent all the way to the palace. I couldn't find Brother Yi in the palace, and I bumped into a palace maid halfway, and whipped the palace maid several times in a fit of anger, and happened to be seen by Mama Bi, and the seemingly gentle beauty smiled and said a few words to her, and reprimanded the palace maid for being wrong. Ma Jingshan was proud at the time, but Mama Bi suddenly said: "Since the county lord likes to play with whips so much, let's play more." The slave maid happened to see two maids who made bold mistakes in the imperial garden, and the county lord wanted to punish the maid for the grandmother. β
Anyway, someone brought out two slaves and maids, but it was her two personal maids, Bi Tao and Huanhua.
"Ask the county lord to save the slave and maid." The two maids cried so much that their eyes were swollen, and the two maids kept pulling their arms.
Ma Jingshan was immediately furious, flicked her whip, and ordered her to release the maid immediately.
Mama Bi let the two palace maids stare at her, "These two maids are playing with their masters regardless of their safety, and they should be blamed." Since the county lord has the leisure to discipline the slaves in the palace for the slaves, he must also strictly discipline his own slaves. β
Ma Jingshan was furious: "You are presumptuous! The girl of the lord of this county is also you-eh! What are you going to do! β
Before she finished speaking, the two palace maids pressed her directly, and then with the whip in her hand, a whip whip was drawn towards the two maids, the force was so great, it was obviously soaked in internal force, and it didn't take a few strokes to knock Bi Tao and Huanhua unconscious.
"The county lord taught a good lesson, so the slave and maid retired first." Mama Bi gave a curtsy salute again, and then took the palace maid away.
Ma Jingshan was angry and angry, thinking that she had been a domineering person since she was a child, but she didn't know that the first servant official in the palace dared to be so bold to her, and went back to find her mother to call the shots for her that day, and also arranged some bad words about Mama Bi, but the concubine didn't pay attention to it, and reprimanded her harshly for the first time, and sold Bi Tao and Huanhua, so she personally took her into the palace to apologize, and warned her to fend for herself in the hands of Bi Mama in the future!
At that time, she was too young, and Ma Jingshan couldn't understand how noble her identity was as the county lord of a princess's mansion, and she was bullied by a minion, where did she put this face? She couldn't get angry, so she carried the thirteenth princess into the palace again, went to find the grandfather who loved him the most, and first told some naughty jokes to make the emperor open up, and then slowly brought out the people who had made her unhappy in the palace recently.
But what surprised Ma Jingshan was that the emperor's grandfather was silent for a moment, then said that he was tired and waved her back to the house.
Since then, the emperor's grandfather has gradually distanced himself from her, and after the mother found out, she was grounded for another month.
This incident hit Ma Jingshan very hard, without the protection of the emperor's grandfather, she gradually restrained a lot, but every time she met Mama Bi, she still couldn't help but be a little jealous.
"Since the county lord is traveling, he has to lean to the right, such an avenue, the county lord's carriage is blocked in the middle, isn't it impossible for others to walk?" Mama Bi asked with a smile.
Ma Jingshan nodded and admitted her mistake, "It's the county lord, don't blame Mama." She still hasn't figured out what the origin of the person in front of her is, and the mother concubine has been telling her not to offend Mama Bi, and she just endures it.
"In this way, the slave and maid retired first."
"Walk slowly."
Back in the carriage, Li Wei immediately looked at Mama Bi brightly, originally she was thinking of going down to tear up with Ma Jingshan for a while, but Mama Bi stopped her, and got out of the carriage herself, and even repelled Ma Jingshan while talking and laughing, not only let Ma Jingshan obediently give way, but also obediently admit her mistake!
"Mama, you can actually suppress this barbaric girl, it's really amazing!"
Mama Bi smiled and helped the step on her head, "The lord of Furui is just arrogant, and her mind is still simple, and the slave has a way to treat her." If you want to say that it is the most headache for Mama, Majesty should look at herself. β
Li Wei choked and said coquettishly, "How can Mama compare me with her, I am the king of a country, so I naturally have to have a domineering and outward bearing, and I have long been tired of the tricks that her little girl plays." β
"Speaking of little girls, the lord of Furui is a month older than you."
"Really?" Li Wei shook her head and pretended to be stupid, "But I am her aunt, and I am a circle older than her." Besides, I take the world as my own responsibility and have a broad mind, where can she have such feelings as a pampered county lord? β
"Your Majesty's mouth is really getting more and more eloquent, and I don't know who to learn it from."
"I don't learn anyone, I'm self-taught!"
The two talked and laughed, and the carriage traveled for a while, and the street gradually became lively.
Li Wei lifted the curtain slightly, and saw that the Wensheng Pavilion, which was lively in the past, was surrounded today.
"Master, ahead is the competition location of the Crowned Owl Festival girl's house, do you want to go and see it?" Cui Yue asked.
Li Wei thought that she had already changed into a beautiful dress, and she didn't want to go down and toss, there were so many people here, what if she broke her skirt and tore her hair.
"No, let's go directly to the prince."
It's rare that His Majesty doesn't even look at the excitement, and wants to see the prince. Cui Yue naturally nodded happily, and the carriage gradually bypassed the lively crowd and turned into a more elegant path.
The riverside Yanagi Pavilion in the west city of Kyoto is a pavilion built by a long corridor in one or two drains, which only receives distinguished guests from Kyoto, and ordinary people may not be able to book a place if they have money. (To be continued.) )
