Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Old Man Meets
Cheng Minmin was slightly stunned after receiving the answer, and smiled reluctantly, "You go back." ”
"The folk girl retired."
"Hey!"
Yan Meng was about to turn around and leave, but he was stopped by a force, and turned his head to look at the cuffs that the county lord of Xiangyang was grasping, "Does the county lord have any other orders?" ”
Feeling Yan Meng's gaze, Cheng Minmin retracted his hand, a little unnaturally turned his face, his eyes hung downward, and his curled eyelashes looked a little moist under the light, "Hmm... Don't tell her when you go back, I'll ask you about her. ”
Covering up the inner inquiry, Yan Meng's head "Yes." ”
"You go back." Cheng Minmin's gaze remained unchanged and waved his hand.
"The folk girl retired."
Yan Meng walked far away, and when she entered the hall, she saw a red grain still standing under the corridor, and she didn't understand other people's private affairs and couldn't make judgments.
Back in front of his seat, Yan Meng sat there quietly and handed over a sentence or two when he had something to say, and then quietly watched the song and dance performance, the performance of the princess's mansion is good, the moves are unpredictable, and the dance skills can be said to have been practiced to the point of being superb, but beauty is beautiful, but there is something missing, and some irritability swelled up in my heart for a while.
"Why did you come back at this time?" Princess Rong Le was talking to the eunuch beside her, and her voice was not loud or small, and it fell into the ears of Yan Meng, who was sitting on the side.
Many people in the hall heard that there was movement, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the princess.
"His Royal Highness finished his tour of the city, thinking of today's Mid-Autumn Festival, thinking of the princess, he sent a servant to come over and deliver a message, presumably this time he has already left the imperial city."
"Got it, you stand down."
"Yes, the miscellaneous family is retiring."
"What's wrong?" It was the wife of Wang Chengzai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had just glanced over from time to time since the little eunuch entered the hall, and the little eunuch couldn't wait to open his mouth when he left the hall.
Princess Rongle had a smile on her face, "Zhang'er, that kid is back, saying that he wants to come to see the palace, he is all his own family, and he can't be guarded against." "Although Princess Rongle has no chance to be a mother, she likes children very much, and she cherishes several juniors very much, in addition to the father of the county lord of Xiangyang and the county lord of Xiangyang, many of these children in the saint are also brought up by Princess Rongle, and the friendship is also very deep.
Old Madam Cui picked up the conversation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really filial piety and benevolence, and he didn't forget to come to visit the princess after patrolling the city so late." ”
"That kid is thinking about today's Mid-Autumn Festival." Princess Rongle said.
Mrs. Wang immediately said, "Eh, according to the concubine's body, whether it is the Mid-Autumn Festival or not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not fail to come, and His Royal Highness can be described as filial piety to the princess." The concubine also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was on the way to inspect and did not forget to send things to Beijing, just now the concubine wanted to ask, the pot of jade carving "Bihai Qinghua" was sent by His Royal Highness a few days ago, the concubine has always heard of it, and now it is the first time to see it. ”
I don't know whose daughter-in-law also hurriedly echoed, "Yes, I heard that the "Bihai Qinghua" time is the only one, take the two-foot-high fine mutton fat jade, and more than a dozen craftsmen carved it together for 9981 days. The whole body of mutton fat jade is snow-white, starting with the temperature, a small piece is rare, not to mention two feet high, what is even more rare is that the jade has a few red jade, the craftsman carved it into fruit, fell in the bushes, crystal clear, luster ruddy, even if you look closely, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity! The more the daughter-in-law spoke, the more excited she became, as if she wanted to attract the attention of the whole hall, and she didn't want to be glared at by her mother-in-law, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what had gone wrong.
Princess Rongle loves jade, and loves new and interesting jade carvings, and there are many ladies here who have more or less research on jade.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about the princess, and he has worked hard." Her mother-in-law took over the conversation and looked at Princess Rongle with some nervousness. Today's saint is deeply chasing the legacy of the first emperor, bowing to frugality, although the prince is filial piety to the princess's behavior, but in the end this "blue sea Qinghua" is a rare treasure, if it is heard by someone with a heart, it may set off some waves.
Princess Rongle bowed slightly, not caring too much, "Zhang'er has not been naughty since she was a child. ”
As he was talking, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and after a while, he saw a man in brown striding in. The crown prince Wei Zhang is not like King Kang, as if he is carved out of the same mold as the saint, especially between the eyebrows, Wei Lang is more like his mother Empress Jingren, a pair of willow eyes but not flattering, a sense of clear eyebrows, red lips are outward, slender even if he is dressed in brocade clothes, but he is not noble at all, but the peace of the whole body makes it difficult to suppress the good feeling.
"The grandson visits the imperial aunt and grandmother, and the imperial aunt and grandmother are healthy."
"Get up, come to the main palace here, let the main palace take a look."
"Hey!" Wei Zhang stepped forward steadily, put his hand in the hand handed by Princess Rongle, and knelt under Princess Rongle to make it easier for Princess Rongle to look at it.
Princess Rongle pressed her palm against Wei Zhang's face, her eyes contained a layer of mist, and her lips trembled slightly, "I have lost a lot of weight." ”
"Yes, my father also said that my grandson is not only taller, but also a lot stronger."
"Your father is talking nonsense, this face is almost as big as Min Min."
Cheng Minmin was a little helpless on the side, she wanted to compare a twelve-year-old girl with an eight-foot-tall man, and she didn't know whether she was praising her or hurting her. But at the moment, she was smart and didn't speak, after all, she may not have seen this imperial uncle who has treated her very well since she was a child, and she misses it very much in her heart.
"My grandson has been gone for a few months, but my aunt and grandmother have not changed at all, and they are still so young." Wei Zhang naturally pulled Princess Rongle's hand off her face, held it in his hand, and turned to look at the county lord of Xiangyang, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Min Min has grown into a big girl!" ”
"I also said that my uncle has been gone for a year, and he only writes letters to his grandmother every day, and he doesn't remember to communicate with Minmin." Cheng Minmin pretended to be angry and said a little arrogantly.
"It's because my uncle is not thoughtful, and he has forgotten that our Min Min can write well, and he will not be stingy with correspondence with his uncle, right?" Wei Lang got up slightly, raised his hand to the head of the Xiangyang County Lord with a warm smile, his hand covered the top of the Xiangyang County Lord's head but focused on strength, so as not to mess up the Xiangyang County Lord's hair.
Princess Rongle pretended to be slightly angry and nodded the head of the county lord of Xiangyang, "You, didn't your uncle bring you a gift when he returned, and he forgot to go out of the clouds?" ”
"Hehe, there's not too much to do." The county lord of Xiangyang grimaced and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"You're spoiled!" Princess Rongle deliberately put on a face to show Wei Lang, but her eyes were full of smiles.
"Min Min has followed the imperial aunt and grandmother since she was a child, she is lively and cute, where can she be spoiled."
"Uncle is right!"
Yan Meng knew that the person who came was the prince, so he buried his head and tried to restrain his heart, which was the prince! The prince is here, so the man... Are you going to meet that person so early? She knew that she must be entangled with that person in this life, but she never expected it to be this scene.
Sure enough, the county lord of Xiangyang said to Wei Lang with a puzzled face:
"What about the fourth uncle? Didn't he go with his uncle to patrol the city? Why didn't you come along? ”
"He will come over immediately, when I come back from this tour of the city, I brought a lot of Jiangnan specialties, and the fourth brother personally took care of the people and moved the things to the courtyard of the emperor's aunt and grandmother."
"He's got a heart." Princess Rongle patted the back of Wei Lang's hand, her eyes were full of love.
"The princess is so blessed, Your Highness is like a dragon and a phoenix among people."
"yes, yes..."
When the ladies on the side saw that the situation had arrived, they wisely followed and praised the friendship between their ancestors and grandchildren, and did not hesitate to praise one after another of praise.
"Thank you ladies for your compliments, Zhang deserves it." Wei Zhang humbly bowed to the ladies and dealt with this scene with ease.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is modest...""Yes, the concubine is as she said..."
Seeing so many people praising Wei Lang, Princess Rongle couldn't show it because of the rules, but the love in her eyes couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.
"The Fourth Highness has arrived~" A summons turned everyone's attention back to the entrance of the hall, and some of the young ladies of the family leaned towards the entrance of the hall slightly, all of them could not suppress the curiosity on their faces. Although it is a family, they are also Miss Boudoir after all, and there are very few opportunities to get a glimpse of the children of the royal family in their lives, and it is a blessing to be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, and I never thought that I could have a relationship with the two Royal Highnesses today.
"Lang is late, and I ask the imperial aunt and grandmother to atone for their sins." A clear male voice sounded, and everyone locked their eyes on the man who entered the hall, different from the prince Wei Zhang's upright and peaceful, Wei Lang's appearance can be delicate like the person in the painting, with black hair in a dark robe, wearing a jade crown, his face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like a flower of spring dawn, his temples are like a knife, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his face is like a jade petal, and his eyes are like autumn waves. There were a few gasps in the crowd.
When Yan Meng heard the voice of the comer, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, even if his hands were hidden in his sleeves and clenched, it was difficult to tremble, it was this person, it was him! She remembered his clear voice, the hand he handed her, his affectionate eyes, and even more so his merciless rebuke, and the eyes full of contempt and disgust! Wei Lang! He is Wei Lang, the king of Yue! Even if she turns to ashes, she remembers everything about this person!
"Mother, this is a wooden sword made by Yao'er, my father said that I was going to teach Yao'er to practice swords last time, and my father said that he would come in two days!" - Yao'er is the best!
"Mother, when will my father come to see Yao'er? Yao'er misses him so much. "-Yao'er's mother is sorry for you, it's all because your mother is useless, and she didn't let her father always think about you.
"Mother, don't cry, Yao'er is not well-behaved enough, Yao'er doesn't want a father, it's good that Yao'er has a mother!" - Yao'er I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
"Mother, Yao'er has a headache..." - Yao'er is fine, there is a mother here...
"Mother, mother..."
Yao'er's voice came from my ears, and Yao'er was lying on the couch with a red face in front of me, my Yao'er is still so young, my Yao'er ......
Yan Meng looked up coldly, and when he saw Wei Lang kneeling on one knee in front of the hall and saluting, Yan Meng's eyes burst out with great coldness! Kill him! She's going to kill him! For her Yao'er!
