Chapter 219: The Return Trip

Pei Yuan had already instructed the chief manager to arrange Yongzhen and the envoys in the palace, but Shen Jiahe felt that something was wrong: "In previous years, the envoys who paid tribute all lived in the post house in the city, and you would inevitably favor one over the other, and besides, I don't want to stay in the palace when I see Yongzhen like that." ”

Before the tribute was stolen, Yongzhen was afraid, although he was dazzled by the prosperity of the city after entering the city, he didn't dare to linger and play, but obediently entered the palace to see, he was very curious about the world outside the palace, but it was really as Shen Jiahe said.

Pei Yuan thought about it and called Yongzhen to the front and asked him what he meant: "If you want to get out of the palace, it's okay, but I'm afraid that you are greedy for fun and will cause trouble." ”

Yongzhen repeatedly promised that he would just wander around casually and never cause trouble, which made Pei Yuan nod: "I have authorized you to live in King Ling's Mansion for a day, and then you will live in the post house with your envoys, and you will come to the palace every day to report to me until you leave the capital." ”

Looking at Yongzhen who walked out, Shen Jiahe smiled helplessly: "You are really more worried than his sister." ”

Jintai will still accompany Pei Niting to play with the sandbag in the house, although it is almost winter, but it is still a little hot under the sun at noon, Pei Niting's little face is red, and there is a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, Jintai pulled her to the edge of the corridor, and ordered the maid to fetch warm water to come over and help her wipe it well.

"Let's rest for a while, and when we have lunch at noon, you can sleep for a while and your aunt will play with you." Jin Tai Wen Sheng discussed with her.

Pei Niting was still a little unsatisfied, and when she was about to discuss another game with Jintai, she saw the housekeeper in the house coming over with Yongzhen, and hurriedly let go of Jintai's hand and ran to Yongzhen: "Uncle Yongzhen!" ”

Yongzhen picked Pei Niting up and turned around twice: "Does Tingting miss her uncle?" ”

"Well, Tingting wants to play with her uncle, and Tingting wants to listen to the story of you shooting geese." Pei Niting happily hugged Yongzhen's neck.

Jintai shook his head helplessly, and asked strangely: "Shouldn't you stay in the palace?" Why did you come to me? ”

Yongzhen replied unhappily: "The emperor is sympathetic, and specially asked me to come to live with my sister for a day and accompany you, why are you still unhappy." ”

Jintai glanced at him, and then took Pei Niting over: "I see that you want to come out to play, and bring it to see me by the way, I really don't know your careful thoughts." ”

"Hey, hey. If you don't see through it, we are also sisters and brothers! Yongzhen laughed twice, "It is said that the capital is full of food, I haven't had a chance to taste it, and my sister won't introduce me to it?" ”

"Okay, I'll take you out to the restaurant." Jintai instructed the maid to take Pei Niting down to change her clothes, and she went to the study to find Pei Hao to go out with them.

The three of them went to the famous Piaoxiang Building in the capital, and after a lunch, they bought a lot of specialties for Yongzhen nearby, Pei Hao pointed to the osmanthus crisp that was being bandaged and introduced to Yongzhen: "The taste of this is even better than that made in the imperial dining room, and there are many specialties, but unfortunately you can't go the same way, otherwise I will give you a copy." ”

Yongzhen squeaked while eating a rock sugar gourd in his mouth: "My brother-in-law is still good to me, unlike my sister who is fierce all day long." ”

Jintai squinted at him and stuffed a packet of cloud candy into his purse: "Since you say so, then this is not your share, let your brother-in-law buy it for you." ”

Yongzhen held the sugar gourd in his mouth, stretched out his hand and pulled Jintai's sleeve: "I was wrong, I slapped my mouth, sister, don't be angry, if you don't give it to me, brother-in-law, he dares to buy it for me!" ”

"You kid, let's go!" Pei Hao smiled helplessly.

Yongzhen leaned on the car window and watched the way back get more and more wrong, so he turned his head and looked at the two suspiciously: "This is not the way back to Ling Wangfu!" ”

Jin Tai leisurely stuffed a sugar ball into his mouth and squinted at him: "Who told you that we are going back to King Ling's Mansion, you have already eaten what you should eat, you have already bought everything you should buy, what are you doing in King Ling's Mansion, hurry back to the palace." ”

"Hey, I'm not going back, the emperor has promised me that I can stay in King Ling's Mansion for a day, you can't send me back!" As he spoke, Yongzhen was about to jump into the carriage, but Pei Hao grabbed the collar and dragged him back to the carriage.

The palace people at the gate of the palace looked strangely at Pei Hao escorting his brother-in-law back to the palace, and specially told the chief manager to let him watch it carefully, but he couldn't run around in the palace.

After returning to the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yongzhen said that it is not big, but it is not small enough, and it is really fatal to play with him." ”

Jintai snuggled in Pei Hao's arms and closed his eyes comfortably: "Finally, it won't disturb the two of us to get along alone, and he jumped up and down next to him, so I haven't been in a calm mood." ”

Pei Niting, who had fallen asleep in the carriage when she came out of Piaoxiang Building, just woke up, she rubbed her eyes, looked at Pei Hao in confusion and asked, "Is Uncle Yongzhen already gone?" ”

Then he looked at Jintai and asked, "Is my aunt asleep?" ”

Pei Hao looked down at Jintai, and raised another finger and pouted: "My aunt is sleepy, and I fell asleep like Tingting just now, Tingting has to be obedient, I can't make noise to my aunt!" ”

Yongzhen went to Pei Yuan's imperial study with a resentful face, ignoring the chief manager who followed closely behind, but after a turn in the imperial study, he didn't see Pei Yuan's face.

The chief manager panted and followed behind and said, "The old slave has already said that the emperor will not be there, but you don't believe it." ”

"Where has the emperor gone?" Yongzhen asked with a cold face.

The chief steward replied with his sleeves straightened: "It's about the queen's place." ”

Yongzhen originally planned to come to Pei Yuan to accuse his sister and brother-in-law, but the queen's men outside the palace were not allowed to enter at will, and if they suddenly disturbed the two of them in the past, it would be even worse.

Yongzhen returned to his residence dejectedly, the original envoys had not yet left the palace, and they were a little surprised to see Yongzhen come back, and hurriedly asked: "Didn't the master go to Princess Jintai's mansion, why did he come back so soon?" ”

"Don't say it, it was my sister and Ling Wang Ye who sent me back to Song, so I went to have lunch and was driven back!" Yongzhen and the envoys poured bitter water, and the appearance of being ruthlessly abandoned made the envoys want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they could only hold back.

At night, Jintai and Pei Hao were about to go to bed, but the maid who took care of Pei Niting was outside-announced: "The little princess is crying and reluctant to sleep, so the prince and the princess should hurry up and take a look." ”

Pei Niting looked at the two people who came, holding her mouth and crying, she was going to find Yongzhen, Jintai couldn't help but persuade her: "It's night now, Uncle Yongzhen has already slept in the palace, Tingting has to sleep obediently!" ”

"Don't, Tingting wants to find Uncle Yongzhen." Pei Niting said stubbornly.

Jintai had no choice but to coax her: "Tingting sleeps obediently, when you wake up, your aunt will take you to Uncle Yongzhen, and then go to see the queen's aunt and Xueqiu, how about it?" ”

It's so easy to say that Pei Niting obediently went to sleep, and the maids in the room can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Early in the morning of the second day, the envoy who followed Yongzhen to Beijing went to find Pei Yuan first, and told him: "When we came, we were delayed for a lot of time, and we saw that the New Year was not far away. ”

Pei Yuan nodded: "Does your master know about this?" ”

The envoys glanced at each other, and the one who replied before smiled embarrassedly, and asked Pei Yuan: "The master is too playful, we have discussed it in private, and we haven't discussed it with the master yet. ”

Pei Yuan nodded, and asked the chief manager to summon Yongzhen to speak, and after informing the envoy of his intentions, he persuaded: "Go back to tell your father the details of this tribute first, and if you are free in the future, you will come back to play." ”

Yongzhen had no choice but to salute, and after a while, he heard that Princess Jintai came to find the little county lord, so he said goodbye to Pei Yuan and went out.

Jintai learned that Yongzhen was going back soon, but he was not reluctant, but only told him to be careful on the road and listen to the ideas of a few ministers around him.

However, Pei Niting grabbed Yongzhen and was reluctant to let go for a while: "Uncle Yongzhen, can you not go back and stay in the capital to play with Tingting!" ”

Yongzhen held Tingting in his arms and coaxed her: "Uncle still has important things to do, and when the things are done, I can come back to play with Tingting." ”

Yongzhen also wanted to say goodbye to Shen Jiahe, and several people went all the way to Shen Jiahe's palace, Yongzhen put Tingting down and gave Shen Jiahe a salute, and said what was going to go: "Thank you for the queen's hospitality in the palace these days, Yongzhen came to say goodbye." ”

Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Niting with a reluctant look, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, but wanted to stay with Yongzhen for a few more days: "You have only stayed in this palace for two or three days, and the capital has not been finished yet, so it is better to stay for a few more days and accompany Tingting." ”

"The road is long, and the return journey is winter, and the road is even more difficult, so it's better to start as soon as possible." Jin Tai refused for Yongzhen.

Pei Niting grabbed Yongzhen's sleeve and said, "Tingting won't see her uncle in the future?" ”

Yongzhen squatted down and said to Pei Niting: "If Tingting misses her uncle, you can write a letter to her uncle, and her uncle will come again next year, and Tingting will be able to play with her uncle again." ”

"These two monkey spirits, it's rare to get together." Pei Niting looked at Yongzhen and quipped, "It's rare that there are people here who are reluctant to let you go, but I didn't expect you to have children." ”

The envoy waited outside for a long time and didn't see Yongzhen come out, so they couldn't help muttering together: "Isn't it that the master has changed his mind and is unwilling to leave?" ”

"Princess Jintai is with him, she will never let him come so nonsense, I think it's better to send someone to urge him."

After listening to the words of the palace people outside, Bai Ying hurriedly entered the main hall and reported to Shen Jiahe: "The envoys outside have already urged again, if you go on the road later, I am afraid that you will not be able to check in to the inn before dark." ”

Shen Jiahe had no choice but to instruct Bai Yingdao: "Go and bring the things prepared by the palace to Yongzhen." ”

Yongzhen knew that this was a private subsidy from the queen, so he immediately thanked him: "Yongzhen thank you for the queen's reward." ”

"It's a little bit of a gadget, if you like it." Shen Jiahe said with a smile, and instructed Jintai again, "If your brother wants to leave, the palace will not keep you, send your brother out of the palace." ”

Jintai sent Yongzhen out of the palace gate all the way and sent him to the carriage on the return journey, always hoping that he could go back to his life without making a mistake, which would be a little reluctant when it came to saying goodbye: "You must be good when you go back, don't make any more trouble on the road, say hello to my father for me." ”

Yongzhen wrote them down one by one and set off with the envoys, but before leaving the city, he hurriedly ordered the carriage to stop, and the envoys who accompanied him hurriedly asked, "What did the master leave behind?" ”

Yongzhen waved his hand and jumped out of the carriage without looking back: "I didn't buy anything, just come when I go." ”

There is an inconspicuous dim sum shop not far from the city gate, and the dim sum in it can be described as a must in the capital, which is still told Yongzhen by the descendants of King Ling's mansion.

I don't know when the next time I come to the capital, I always feel sorry if I don't eat it, Yongzhen walked towards the place that the next person said, and sure enough, he found a shop in the alley, and he could smell the sweet smell of the dim sum before he walked in.

"Wrap me up all your signs!" Yongzhen took a piece of silver and put it on the counter of the proprietress .

Yongzhen had just walked away with the front foot of the dim sum, and Zhou Qian's back foot came over, he looked at the few dim sum items that were put out and asked, "Why don't you have jujube paste cake today?" ”

"Let the last guest buy it all, you just have to come one step earlier."

Zhou Qian raised his eyes and looked at the figure in front of him, and wanted to let him even out a little bit to his wife, but seeing that he was in a hurry, the figure was blurred, and in the end he had no choice but to give up.
