107. 【106】Caged Bird (September Monthly Pass)
What Ren Shaotian saw now was not a noble and elegant princess, but a child who wanted to eat candy.
He was speechless, if he refused again, would it be a bit excessive?
"Okay." It was really a ghost who sent God, and he actually agreed.
Seeing the success of his strategy of retreating as advance, Changle immediately showed his joy and pulled Ren Shaotian to his seat.
"This is my favorite mung bean cake, Concubine An made it herself, she made the best, try it." Changle enthusiastically pushed the whole plate of mung bean cake in front of Ren Shaotian.
Little man's famous saying: If you eat or not, you are guilty of great evil.
Therefore, the current Ren Shaotian of mung bean cake, if he still refuses, he will be too sorry for his stomach.
"Princess Xie." Ren Shaotian picked one up and took a bite, "It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, it's really delicious." ”
"Xiao Ru, prepare green tea for Xiao Tianzi too." Changle summoned the palace maid Xiao Ru to pour tea, where did he treat Ren Shaotian as a person, he was simply a guest.
Ren Shaotian didn't refuse, he was safe when he came, anyway, he sat in the guest seat, and it was not bad to be a guest again.
Xiaoru prepared everything, and was only opened by Changle, and only she and Ren Shaotian were left in the hall.
"Princess, do you like the color green?" Ren Shaotian asked while eating.
"No, why do you say that?"
"You see you are wearing green clothes today, eating mung bean cakes, drinking green tea, don't you like green?" Ren Shaotian was right, even Changle himself didn't find out.
When Ren Shaotian said this, Changle thought about it and found out about this coincidence: "Yes, but I don't particularly like green, I like a lot of colors, and green clothes are just a coincidence today." I do like mung bean cake and green tea, but it has nothing to do with the color, I like the taste. ”
"Really? However, mung bean cake and green tea are cold, girls should not eat too much, it is not beneficial to the body, you can try red bean cake and black tea in the future, it is also good, especially red beans, eat more beneficial. Ren Shaotian occasionally heard some guests talking about the topic of diet and health in the Fulai Hotel, so he knew a little bit about it.
But in Changle's eyes, it's not as simple as skin, because no one has ever told her that mung bean cake and green tea are not good.
Everyone knew that she liked these two foods, and the palace praised her vigorously, and the officials desperately found mung bean cakes and high-grade green tea that were famous in various places, and sent them in a bunch of them, for no other purpose, just to please the most favored princess, so as to say a few good words in front of the emperor.
In the past fifteen years, Ren Shaotian was the first to say that these two foods were not beneficial, and the first person to tell her not to eat more mung bean cakes and green tea.
Truth be told, it's not flattery, that's what really cares.
Seeing Changle looking at herself with a strange expression, she found that she had been holding her cheeks with both hands, and she didn't seem to have any intention of eating cakes or drinking tea, Ren Shaotian thought that she had said the wrong thing, which made the princess unhappy: "Princess, I'm sorry, it's me who has a lot of trouble, when I didn't say it." ”
"No, I just think that you are very straightforward, and you care about others, you speak from the bottom of your heart, you can say good if you are good, you can say bad if you are bad, and you will not fake flattery because of my preferences, I like it very much. Those good words, I have heard numbness, and I will not distinguish between truth and falsehood. Speaking of this, Changle's happy expression just now gradually became a little sad.
Everything is two-sided, the delicate woman who lives within the palace walls, the surface scenery, enjoys the glory, but there is a lack of sincere friends in life.
Perhaps it was this mood that made her good impression of Ren Shaotian soar even more.
Ren Shaotian also vaguely felt the faint sorrow that Princess Changle had accumulated for a long time.
He tried to give relief: "Everyone doesn't want the princess to be sad, so they say good things in front of the princess." ”
"I don't want to hear good words, I want to hear the truth." Changle's eyes were even more sad, "It's not that they don't want me to be sad, they just know that my father favors me, and they are afraid that if they say something that makes me unhappy, they will get into trouble and be punished, everyone is cautious when they see me, but do they know that these are really what I want?" I want to go out of the palace to see the outside world, but my father is not allowed, what am I living for? ”
From the gloom at the beginning, Changle was a little excited when he said about the back.
She also didn't understand why in front of Ren Shaotian, she could not hesitate to say what she had been depressed for many years, maybe she had been depressed for too long, and finally found a suitable person to talk to, a person who had no wit.
In the palace of every dynasty, the concubines are inevitably lamenting, as soon as they enter the palace gate, they can have a short period of joy before entering the palace gate, but as a princess, Changle was born in the palace gate, how have you ever seen the world outside the palace?
And to a certain extent, the more treasure in the emperor's heart, the more he is trapped like a caged bird, for fear that as soon as the canary flies away, it will be injured outside the line of sight.
Ren Shaotian understands Emperor Yonghe's love for Princess Changle, and also understands that the former harem will inevitably say some flattering words in order to survive, but it is just ......
Who can understand the mood of the canary?
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.
But what can he do and change as a little eunuch?
Even the comfort seemed weak: "Don't think too much about it, princess, living in the moment is the most important thing." Don't just watch me eat, you can eat too. ”
Ren Shaotian brought the plate of mung bean cake to Changle.
No matter how powerless he felt his comfort, Changle felt that this sentence made her full of vitality again.
"You're right, live in the moment." She hurriedly ate a mung bean cake, drank two sips of tea, then lifted the repaired butterfly kite with one hand, and pulled Ren Shaotian out of the hall with the other, "Come, let's fly a kite together." ”
"We?" Ren Shaotian's mouth was still chewing a mouthful of mung bean cake, his lips were full of mung bean cake powder, and half of the mung bean cake in his hand was not finished, so he was pulled out of the hall by Changle, who was full of vitality.
"Yes, we, me and you." Changle emphasized.
"But ......" Ren Shaotian hurriedly stuffed the mung bean cake into his stomach in two bites, and continued, "I really want to go back to the East Palace, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with." ”
Flying a kite with the princess in full view?
This is definitely a self-defeating act, if the emperor knows about it, he is really in danger of his life, and he can't even run away from crawling and rolling.
"It's okay, I'll help you solve the chores in the East Palace." Changle handed him the kite, "Come, you fly." ”
Seeing him shrunk and shrunk, Changle simply took his big hand and stuffed the kite into him.
"Okay." In fact, Ren Shaotian was reluctant in his heart.
He didn't know how many times he had run for this kite two days ago, how many spirits he had injured, how much sweat he had dripped, how much physical strength he had spent, and how much fat he had consumed......
Although he didn't have any excess fat in the first place.
So he really didn't want to toss around this kite anymore, and almost wanted to smash it on the ground when he got it.
But does he dare? Does he dare?
I saw him put on a patient look, holding a coil in one hand and a kite in the other, and began to run in small steps, waiting for the right wind.
Today's wind is not very strong, slightly cool, very suitable for kite flying, plus Ren Shaotian has accumulated a lot of experience in the first two days, and quickly put the kite into the air.
Changle ran with him, occasionally reaching out and pulling the string connected to the kite, and occasionally pointing to the kite and saying "higher, higher", her mouth kept laughing, smiling very brightly, looking at the kite's expression, she was very happy and excited.
Seeing that she was particularly satisfied, Ren Shaotian was also infected by her happiness.
Just stay with her for a while, maybe for a while, let her feel carefree and comfortable.
They ran for a while, Changle was a little tired, and his pace slowed down until he stopped.
She stood dumbfounded, staring at the kite's eyes with all sorts of looks, longing, anticipation, doubt, and finally loss.
Ren Shaotian slowly moved to her side: "Is the princess tired?" ”
"Little Son of Heaven." Changle paused, pursed his lips and smiled, smiling a little bitterly, "You say, the kite flies so high, can it see what it looks like outside the palace?" ”
"Maybe." Ren Shaotian wanted to say, in fact, the palace is very large, the sky is very high, compared to the sky, the height of the kite is really not worth mentioning, and it is impossible to get a glimpse of the situation outside the palace at that level, but Ren Shaotian thought about it, if the facts make Changle desperate and sad, it is better to leave a little hope, so that she will always hold this simple and hazy girlish feelings, and spend her youth.
Changle really smiled: "If one day, I can fly so high, I will know the answer." ”
It is still unknown whether she will fly so high one day, but at this moment, it is indeed a fact that Mu Chen and Su Wuxian fly so high.
The two of them had been chasing the kite made by Mu Chen himself for a while, and they had run through the eaves of almost all the palaces in the entire palace, but speaking of which, this wind was really strange, it was obviously not a day when a strong wind was coming, but it could make a kite fly so fast, and it would change direction.
The two of them are no longer ordinary people, and they have a certain degree of light skills, but they have not caught up.
It wasn't until a certain position that the kite inexplicably slowly fell.
"Can't catch you yet?" Mu Chen jumped to the ground, followed the kite that was about to reach the ground in one hand, and muttered to himself.
Su Wuxian also followed her and fell to the ground.
"Shh I only heard Su Wuxian signal her to be quiet.
They looked around and found that their location was next to the main hall of Yanxi Palace, and Mu Chen remembered that Yanxi Palace was the palace where Concubine Hua lived.
Su Wuxian motioned for Mu Chen to be quiet, because he heard a voice in the hall, and it seemed to be the sound of an argument.
He pulled Mu Chen to the nearest window, the window was tightly closed, and Mu Chen dipped his fingers in a little saliva, poking two small holes in the corners of the window paper.
Looking inside, it was a man and a woman, the man only saw the broad back, covering most of the woman, but he could still see most of the woman's face, that person was Concubine Hua.
