240 Observe the feelings of the people
Xiao Qiao'er listened to these words many times a day, and she didn't want to pay attention to them, but she couldn't stand the pleading of a group of palace maids behind her, she frowned unhappily, but she didn't lose her temper like just now, she just stomped her foot angrily and annoyedly, "I know!" ”
Seeing her childish actions in her eyes, Qu Wurong couldn't help but join the ranks of persuasion, "The queen is pregnant, don't be too tired, be careful of the fetal gas!" ”
Xiao Qiao'er nodded to indicate that she knew, then took her hand and asked, "Is my sister busy?" ”
"Nope." Although she didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, Qu Wurong still replied truthfully, "What does the queen have to say?" ”
"There is no command." Xiao Qiao'er shook her head gently, "I just want to invite my sister to sit in my palace, my sister shouldn't refuse, right?" After saying that, he looked at her with a pitiful expression.
Being looked at like this, Qu Wurong naturally couldn't say anything to refuse, so he nodded.
After they all left, Yu Ruyi walked out from behind the bushes on the side, not that she deliberately wanted to eavesdrop on others, but when she was visiting the imperial garden, she ran into Xiao Qiao'er, who also came to hang out, she had always seen Xiao Qiao'er unpleasant, and she didn't even want to pretend, so she hid and wanted to wait for her to leave before coming out, but she happened to see the scene just now.
Seeing that his master was looking at Xiao Qiao'er and the direction they were leaving, the red parrot couldn't help but speak: "I didn't expect that this new lady had only been here for two days, and she had a relationship with the queen's mother!" ”
"What's the use of having a relationship with her?" Hearing her words, Yu Ruyi retorted with disdain, "It's just a wild girl who came out of nowhere, can it bring her any benefits?" ”
"That's what Madame said!" Hearing this, the red parrot hurriedly echoed, "What if she is the queen's mother? Even the emperor has to rely on General Yu, and the affairs of the court and the central government are not all said by General Yu? ”
Yu Ruyi glanced at her lightly, "Just know it in your heart, don't say a few words, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”
"It's the slave who talks a lot!" Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, the red parrot immediately knelt at her feet and begged for mercy, "The slave doesn't dare anymore, please forgive Madame!" ”
"Get up." Yu Ruyi didn't really plan to deal with her, but simply admonished her and ordered: "You go back and let people go to the General's Mansion to spread a word, and ask my brother to take the time to enter the palace, and the palace has something to discuss with him." ”
"Yes!" The red parrot nodded.
After Qu Wurong obtained the permission from Xiao Nansheng to leave the palace at any time, after breakfast the next day, he planned to take Huang Li and Huang Ying out for a walk, and by the way, to observe the people here.
Hearing her plan, the two girls were stunned, unable to believe what they had heard.
After a long while, Huang Ying cautiously reminded: "Madam, according to the rules of the palace, we can't leave the palace casually. ”
"Who said we left the palace casually?" Qu Wurong replied disappreciatively, "The lord of the country has already agreed. ”
Hearing her say this, the eyes of the two girls lit up, "Madam, are you telling the truth?" ”
"Do you think I'm joking?" Qu Wurong, who had been questioned repeatedly, rolled his eyes helplessly, and then remembered Xiao Nansheng's previous instructions to himself, so he said again: "By the way, which of you will go and sue the emperor, and by the way, see if the Xu guards are free." ”
"I'll go!" As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Li ran out of the house, which shows how happy and excited this girl is when she leaves the palace.
Huang Ying was much more restrained than her, and after being happy for a while, she quickly thought of something else, "Madam, do you need the slave to prepare something?" ”
"No, you don't." Qu Wurong shook his head gently, "We just went out for a walk, and we didn't need to prepare anything." ”
"The slave maid told him to prepare the carriage." Hearing her say that she didn't need to bring anything, Huang Ying went to order someone to prepare the car, after all, there was still a long way to go out of the palace, and they couldn't just rely on two legs, right?
Not long after she left, Huang Li came back, followed by Xu Tianming with an indifferent face, "Madam, Guard Xu is here!" ”
"Ma'am." Xu Tianming Chong Qu Wurong bowed his head slightly, which was regarded as a salute.
Qu Wurong waved his hand and asked, "Can you walk away today?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Tianming nodded, "The lord of the country has to stay in the imperial study all day today to deal with government affairs, and he doesn't need his subordinates to be by his side all the time." ”
"That's good!" Hearing the affirmative answer, Qu Wurong finally put her mind at ease, if she took Xu Tianming away, thus causing Xiao Nansheng to suffer any harm, then her sin would be great!
At this time, Huang Ying also turned back, "Madam, the carriage is ready!" ”
"Then let's go."
The carriage carried a group of four people out of the palace and galloped towards the most lively place in Xiaocheng, and when it reached one of the intersections, Xu Tianming suddenly asked the coachman to stop the carriage, lifted the curtain and asked Qu Wurong in the carriage: "Madam, let's get off here, shall we?" ”
Qu Wurong lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, only to see that the street in front of him was full of people, even if it was still so far away, he could still clearly hear the shouting of the street vendors, it was really lively!
"Okay, get out of the car!"
With Qu Wurong's order, a group of four people stepped down from the carriage one after another, and ordered the coachman to wait in place before walking towards the lively street ahead.
This is the first time that Qu Wurong has really come into contact with the lives of the people of Bailiao Kingdom, although she also saw it when she got married last time, but that day she just took a general look, and this time she finally had time to slowly experience it herself!
It was only at this time that she found that compared with the abundant Liang Dynasty, life here was indeed much poorer, and the shops on the street sold all the necessary things for the people to maintain their lives, and it was rare to see shops selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade, or other luxury goods, I don't know if there were no shops at all, or if those shops were not opened here.
Because she had already shown her face in front of the people of Xiaocheng when she got married last time, many people on the street recognized Qu Wurong and greeted her warmly, without being respectful and distant at all because of her identity, which made Qu Wurong feel surprised and very useful.
"The people here are very kind and simple, and when the lord of the country occasionally leaves the palace, they will greet him so warmly, and please don't mind, Madame!" Xu Tianming, who had been following behind, suddenly explained.
He followed Xiao Nansheng to Daliang, and he also knew that the people of Daliang would not get along with their emperor like they were like friends, they seemed to be very afraid of the royal people, Xu Tianming was worried that Qu Wurong would not be adaptable.
Hearing his words, Qu Wurong turned his head to look at him, squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "Then you mean that the people of our Daliang are not kind and simple?" ”
Xu Tianming was stunned when he heard this, and quickly shook his head, "My subordinates definitely don't mean this!" ”
"That's pretty much it!" Qu Wurong turned his head with satisfaction, a smile on the corner of his mouth, no wonder Xiao Nansheng likes to bully him, a personal guard, it is really a very fun thing!
The four of them chatted while shopping, and soon walked to the center of the long street, Qu Wurong was thinking about finding a place to rest, but inadvertently found a group of children behind them, and when they saw her turn around, the children dispersed with a smile, but after a while, they were behind them.
At this time, a restaurant appeared not far in front, Qu Wurong walked in with everyone, picked a table near the door and sat down, and after ordering a few things to eat with the boss, he beckoned to the children lying at the door, "You guys come here!" ”
A few children, you look at me, I push you, none of them dared to take the lead and stepped forward, and finally Qu Wurong urged again, and then a slightly bolder boy walked in and asked, "Are you the new wife of the lord from Daliang?" ”
"That's right!" Qu Wurong nodded, "Are you looking for something with me?" ”
The boy didn't answer, but turned around and exchanged glances with his friends, and the other children discussed it, and they all walked in, gathering around Qu Wurong and looking at her curiously.
"What are you looking at me like that?" Seeing that they just looked at themselves like this and didn't speak, Qu Wurong asked with a smile, "Am I not able to have four eyes?" ”
Hearing her words, one of the small girls glanced at her brother beside her, and then said boldly: "My mother said that the people of Daliang look different from us, with such a big mouth, and they can eat people!" After speaking, he raised his two small hands and gestured a length.
Qu Wurong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her description.
Before she could speak, she heard the little girl's brother correct: "Sister, you remember wrong, my mother is not talking about the people of Daliang, but the people of the Cissai country who can eat people!" ”
The Cisse country has harassed several neighboring countries over the years, and Bailiao has also suffered from it, so the people of their country have been described as devils who can eat people, and have become a magic weapon for parents to scare their children.
"Huh? Is it? The little girl tilted her head and glanced at her brother, so she no longer dwelled on this question, but continued to say to Qu Wurong: "However, you are so good-looking!" ”
Qu Wurong gently pinched her pink little face and said with a smile: "You are also beautiful!" ”
Seeing that someone had started to take the lead, the others were also emboldened, and they scrambled to ask her questions, and one of the chubby little boys asked, "Madam, do you have a lot of delicious things in your beam?" My uncle said that even if you eat it every day, you won't be able to eat it all in a year! ”
Little Fat Dun'er's uncle once went to Daliang to do business, and after he came back, he told his sister's family what he had seen and heard, which of course had the element of his deliberate exaggeration, but compared to the barren Bailiao country, Daliang's products are indeed much richer!
Hearing his words, Qu Wurong stretched out his hand and touched his head, and said softly, "We will have a lot of delicious food in the future." ”
"Really? That's great! As soon as these words came out, the children suddenly boiled, jumping and screaming one by one, and clapping their hands incessantly, attracting the attention of other diners.
Looking at the happy smiling faces of the children, Qu Wurong began to understand Xiao Nansheng's mood a little, what he wanted to bring to his people was this kind of life, peace and stability, food and clothing, but some of the most ordinary expectations, what reason did he have not to help him achieve it?
