Although the Jiangyang Palace is small, it has a unique scenery, the landscape garden is built here to gather vividly, Emperor Yuan went out with the local officials in the early morning, and the queen waited in the palace to meet the minister's daughter, set up a banquet to entertain, Fu Qizheng and Wen Yue are still light, not qualified to attend, Fu Qizheng is no longer as before to refuse everyone thousands of miles, Wen Yue seized this opportunity to stay in Fu Qizheng's room early in the morning, even if he was not welcomed, but every day for three days, Fu Qizheng knew that he was ashamed of her, and his attitude was not as cold as before, With a pleasant face, the two gradually spoke more.

"Although it is a southern tour, you will either stay in the carriage or stay in the palace along the way, what is the difference between being in the palace and being in the palace." Wen Yue complained.

"Being able to see the world in a carriage is already content, it's better than everyone in the palace looking at the red wall of the boundless palace at a glance."

Wen Yue turned her eyes to look at the partition wall, and sighed: "This garden is not big, and I have been familiar with the scenery of these flowers, flowers, grasses, landscapes, pavilions and bridges in three days, I really want to go outside to see, Jiangnan is much richer than Xizhou." ”

"I heard that we don't need to live in the palace when we get to Jianglin, there is a Ming Lake outside Jianglin City, and the east bank of Jianglin is connected to Suzhou in the west, so we have to live on a boat, which is also rare."

Fu Qizheng smiled silently, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the queen was leading several ladies to enjoy the scenery and slowly walked towards this side.

"Look, Niangniang, this stone is like a dancing fairy, graceful."

"The emperor loves the queen, and there is no fairy in the world who can compare to the queen and the queen."

Wen Yue laughed out loud, which attracted the queen's attention, the queen was furious, Wen Yue's face turned pale with fright, and she knelt down in a hurry: "The queen forgives her sins." ”

Fu Qizheng did not panic, Ying Ying owed: "The concubine see the queen's mother." ”

"It's you again." The queen stared at the two.

A woman asked, "Who are they?" ”

"Two palace concubines who don't know whether they are alive or dead." The queen said dismissively.

The queen took a few steps forward, stood in front of Wen Yue, and said sharply: "Lan Jieyu, this palace asks you, what did you just laugh at but this palace?" ”

Wen Yue lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, Fu Qizheng immediately said: "Niangniang misunderstood, how dare Lan Jieyu laugh at Niangniang, the concubine and Lan Jieyu are chatting about Jiangnan customs, and they are happy for a while. ”

"Where does the concubine master say, how dare the concubine wait."

"The concubine just talked to Lan Jieyu about the gentleness and purity of the Jiangnan woman, Lan Jieyu didn't believe it and thought it was very funny, if she had seen a few ladies earlier, presumably Lan Jieyu would have been convinced, and she would not have sneered and angered her mother." Fu Qizheng said.

"The mother is angry, the concubine is unintentional, but don't disturb the good interest of the mother." A woman said.

Hearing this, the queen glanced at the two of them, and commanded: "Come on, Ayarong Hualan Jieyu lost their manners in front of them, and they were confined in the room, and they were not allowed to come out without the permission of the palace." ”

Fu Qizheng knelt down and bowed with Wen Yue: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Back in the room, Qing Chu said indignantly: "Lan Jieyu is really ......"

Fu Qizheng said coldly: "Okay, when will you learn to slander your master." ”

"The slave and maid are unhappy for the master, why should the master be grounded."

"I'm going to leave Jiangyang Palace tomorrow, what's the use of this lockdown order, can the queen still confine this concubine here for the rest of her life?"

"But ......"

Fu Qizheng understood that Qingchu was right, she still knew how to protect herself when she was cold to Wenyue before, but if she eased up a little, she made a mistake, what should she do. In the blink of an eye, I saw that the last time I sat on the hill that had been piled up, in recent days, Emperor Yuan's rewards have been endless, in addition to the jade tea cake that must be there every day, Jiangyang's specialties and precious antiques are everything, and a table has been piled up in only three days, so Fu Qizheng is even more guilty, and he doesn't even move those things.

"Pack these up." Fu Qizheng instructed Qing Chu.

"Yes." Qing Chu immediately went out to find the boxes, and carefully packed the things into them one by one.

Early in the morning, a little eunuch came to inform him that he was about to leave, naturally it was not sent by the queen, Qingchu called the eunuch to move the box out and load the car first, Fu Qizheng packed up and went out, and looked up at the "Jiangyang Palace" plaque in front of the palace, I don't know if there is still a chance to come again. It took more than ten days to arrive at Jianglin, it was nearly February from the palace, Qingchu helped Fu Qizheng to get off the carriage, Minghu was vast, dozens of gorgeous boats were parked on the lake, Fu Qizheng sent away the reluctant Qingchu with water mist to the boat.

"I must not be used to leaving your princess to wait for my concubine."

"What's the matter, the princess and the concubine are good, Shui Meng has already regarded the concubine as his own master." Mist said as he made the bed.

"You girl, follow the concubine to Jingyi Palace in the future to enjoy the blessings, don't come back." Jiayi walked into the cabin and quipped.

Shui Mist was startled, stopped what he was doing and turned around, and lowered his head embarrassedly: "Princess." ”

"Well, how dare I rob your handmaid." Fu Qizheng smiled and looked behind Jiayi, "What about that little peach?" ”

Jiayi looked back at the outside of the cabin and snickered: "She has her own place to stay." ”

Fu Qizheng curiously walked to the door to take a look, the maid named Xiao Tao was sitting on the railing at the bow of the boat with her back to her, her feet hanging in the air, and below was the bottomless Ming Lake, her hands clutching the fence tightly, and she didn't dare to move, lest she would fall.

"I can't see that Princess Jiayi, who has always been quiet, is so good at playing tricks on people."

"It depends on who is tricked, Xiao Tao is the queen's person, the queen is the queen mother's person, don't show mercy, grow up with my sister, I am familiar with my ears, although my ability is not as good as my sister, but it is more than enough to deal with a little palace maid." Pulling Qizheng to the table and sitting down, "Leave her alone, let her stay there and blow the wind." ”

After chatting for a while, Jia Yi estimated that Xiao Tao's courage was almost grinded, so she got up and went out, pretending to be angry and said: "You girl is so bold, this princess asked you to wait outside the door, you dare to sit down and rest privately, is this how the queen mother teaches you on weekdays?" Why don't you get over and help me, this boat is shaking so badly that if you fall this princess, you will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. ”

Xiao Tao trembled over the railing and returned to the deck, her face was already blue with fright, her feet trembling and she almost fell on her heels when she walked. Fu Qizheng was really funny watching this scene behind the door, and she admired Jiayi a little, but she just took pity on the girl.

The forbidden army divided the lake into two groups, the one on the lake and the other on the shore, and surrounded a large area around the shore where the palace boat docked, and guarded it to a high degree.

Fu Qizheng grew up in Pingjing since he was a child, although he also swam across the lake and sat on a boat, but he stayed on the boat all day, after all, he was a little uncomfortable, and even the water mist was listless.

One day Wen Yue happily ran to find Fu Qizheng, and brought a burden to put on the table, Fu Qizheng was sitting in front of the porthole reading a book, seeing Wen Yue so happy, curious: "Why, what is so happy." ”

"My sister is also stuffy, so I will change into this dress tomorrow and see you under the big willow tree on the shore."

"What do you mean by going under the willow tree?" Fu Qizheng was puzzled.

"My sister will know when she goes, and this matter must be kept secret." Wen Yueshen smiled mysteriously, and left without staying long. After Wen Yue left, she opened the burden and saw that it was a set of ordinary people's women's clothes, and she expected that Wen Yue would not harm herself, so she changed her clothes early the next morning, but the mist was difficult, she stayed in the palace since she was a child, where would she comb the hairstyle of ordinary people, Fu Qizheng combed it up by herself, and looked in the mirror as if she was not in the palace when she was in the palace, and sighed again.

Came to the willow tree, the crown was high, the brocade clothes were folded, the figure really surprised Fu Qizheng, Wen Yue came over happily: "Sister is finally here, let the emperor wait." ”

Emperor Yuan, who was also dressed in ordinary clothes, shook his folding fan lightly and said with a smile: "After saying that, I will call me Gongzi An immediately, Yue'er, if you don't have a long memory, I will let you stay here." ”

Fu Qizheng was dumbfounded, and said in a daze: "The emperor ...... An Gongzi is this? ”

"We're privately visiting." Li Changhai, who was dressed as a servant on the side, said.

"But the emperor will take me and Wen Yue with him this time, and the queen's mother will ......," Fu Qizheng said worriedly.

Li Changhai said again: "The emperor has already decreed that the two concubines will be grounded on the charge of slandering the queen, so no one will find out. ”

Fu Qizheng was a little relieved, and followed Emperor Yuan into the carriage, Li Changhai drove, and the three of them sat in the car, Wen Yue was overjoyed all the way, like a bird out of a cage, Fu Qizheng sat quietly in the car, looking out the window, although it was not the first time to be so close, but after all, it had been a long time, and he was faintly uncomfortable.

"My sister is dressed so neatly, which reminds my sister that my sister is so elegant and refined on the day of the draft." Wen Yue said with a smile.

"What is the past, what is it to mention."

"My sister can't forget it, after all, if there was no sister that day, there would be no moon now."

"Is there such a thing? Let's hear it. Emperor Yuan was interested.

"Yue'er, how can you be so open-mouthed in front of your son." Fu Qizheng reproached.

Wen Yue didn't care about Fu Qizheng, and then said: "There is no shortage of people in the palace who are evil-minded, that day there was a beautiful girl who deliberately soiled the concubine's clothes, and then asked the concubine to change into a white dress. ”

Without waiting for Emperor Yuan to speak, Fu Qizheng immediately said: "Okay, don't say it, son, where are we going?" ”

"Suzhou, now that the people of Suzhou Mansion know that I am parked in Minghu and will not go to Suzhou for the time being, I have not prepared yet, I want to take this gap to see the real people."

"Isn't it true that the people of the state capitals that Gongzi has seen all the way?"

"All the way I saw was the abundance of things, the wells built were orderly, there was no slightest difference in the pool, it was too smooth, and it was inevitably suspected of being deliberately arranged."

"Childe Shengming." Fu Qizheng bowed his head. In the afternoon, the group arrived at the city of Suzhou, removed the carriage, and walked into the city, the city market was very lively, and the four of them walked on the road like ordinary people.

"Suzhou Mansion really lives up to its name, it is so lively and rich." Wen Yue said.

"The son wants to investigate the people's feelings, it's not appropriate to wander around like this, there are ordinary faces on the street, how can you see any hidden feelings."

"Then how you should perceive it in your opinion."

"Naturally, we must listen to the people." Fu Qizheng raised his hand and pointed to the tea shop next to him.

"Clever." Emperor Yuan praised, shook the folding fan and walked in.

Xiao Er wanted to arrange a private room when he saw that a few people were dressed extraordinarily, Emperor Yuan insisted on sitting in the lobby, the business in the store was very good, only a small table in the corner was left, the three of them sat down, and Li Changhai stood aside to serve.

"It's so bustling here, how can you hear it clearly." Wen Yue said.

"It can also be seen, most of the people in this hall are young men and have a burden around them, and most of the people who come in and out are also carrying a burden, and it is not light, there are square and heavy things in the baggage, it should be books, a group of people who read books come to Suzhou Mansion with luggage, presumably the imperial examination is imminent."

"It's still my sister who is smart, and Yue'er is ashamed of herself."

Emperor Yuan glanced at the people in the lobby: "Why do candidates gather in the tea shop, shouldn't they stay in the inn to catch the exam?" ”

"There's a reason for that." As soon as Fu Qizheng's words fell, suddenly a man walked into the tea shop, and many people in the store surrounded him at once, the man beckoned everyone and said impatiently: "I can't afford to pay the silver taels, no one wants to see my nobles, it's useless for you to wait here, it's better to read more books with this empty glove white wolf, maybe you can win in the next life." ”

"I ...... I have money. A candidate squeezed forward with a box in his arms, opened it in front of the man, and the man glanced at it, smiled instantly, and led the candidate away.

The others retreated dejectedly, and Emperor Yuan motioned to Li Changhai to stop one person and ask: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, where is this?" ”

"Everyone is waiting to see a master to guide the imperial examination."

"How do you know it's a master?" Fu Qizheng said curiously.

"I'd rather believe it, not believe it, ten years of cold window, who doesn't want to thank you for grasping, okay, I won't tell you, I have to hurry up and make money, to see that this son was born rich and rich, it's better to try." The man finished and left.

"I really want to meet this master." Emperor Yuan was interested. When the person to be introduced returned to the tea shop, Li Changhai walked over and opened his sleeves to reveal the two ingots of gold he was holding in his hand, and said, "My son-in-law wants to meet the nobles." ”

The man looked at the gold and smiled, and then motioned for Emperor Yuan to go with him.

Following the man out of the tea shop, Fu Qizheng said as he walked: "My son-in-law has been named Sun Mountain for five years, and I am very worried. ”

Emperor Yuan glanced back at her, angry and funny, he was an emperor anyway, but in her mouth, he became a stupid scholar who had been named Sun Shan for five years, and he would settle the account when he turned back!
