Chapter 223: Dining at the Pawn Office
The blade is cold, the sunset is warm, Tuoba Yan just woke up and felt top-heavy and barely got out of bed, walking barefoot and hair without shoes on the smooth and cold ground, and the cool and silky chill rushed into the body from the soles of the feet. Mengqiu's head hurts a little, causing her heart to feel a little depressed, making her voice seem weak.
The princess is pregnant and Mengqiu doesn't dare to stay too far, not far away, she is naturally waiting outside the door, Tuoba Yan's voice is in with Mengqiu, Mengqiu saw Tuoba Yan's body swaying, rubbing her temples with her hands and slowing down outside the hall in a trance, this saw Mengqiu screaming "Princess, what's wrong with you"
Mengqiu hurriedly stepped forward to help people, and someone helped Tuoba Yan to feel much more relieved, gritting his teeth and saying, "Help me out"
Seeing that Tuoba swallow shoes are not wearing hair or tying, he hurriedly said, "The princess can't go out, she is pregnant, the hall is windy, and the slave maid is waiting for you to make up when you go out."
In order to get the fetus, Tuoba Yan can only endure the discomfort for the time being, "Okay"
Getting up half will make Mengqiu gradually dissipate after dressing, and the person sits in front of the dressing table, "Mengqiu, open the windows"
"Yes," Mengqiu said, opening all the windows in the house.
As soon as the window opened, the smell of grass and trees outside the house was involved, the grass and leaves were tender and green, and the warm sunset shone on Tuoba Yan's face, and the spirit suddenly opened up to sweep away the dull atmosphere.
"Princess, are you better?"
Tuoba Yan's face was still a little pale, and he said softly, "I had a little headache when I got up, but now it's fine."
Mengqiu said worriedly, "Headache? The princess should not let the doctor come to see it."
"No, it's okay now"
The incense was still lit, and after seeing the incense, Tuoba Yan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mengqiu, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
"Uncomfortable," Mengqiu said after a while, "No."
Tuoba Yan glanced at Mengqiu carefully, Tuoba Yan stared at herself and Mengqiu was a little strange, "Princess, why do you look at slaves and maids like this?"
Mengqiu's face was the same as usual, and what she said was true, Tuoba Yan thought, "If the incense is poisonous, how can Mengqiu be fine if she smells it?"
In this way, this has nothing to do with incense, and it is not that this incense has not been used before, "a little unaccustomed to water and soil" Tuoba Yan comforted himself.
After finishing the makeup, he sat for a while, and his cheeks returned to their soft and moving luster, and Tuoba Yan said, "Mengqiu prepares a sedan chair and follows me to the Pawn Office"
Mengqiu was surprised, "Isn't it a headache, you have to go out"
Tuoba Yan gently said softly, "Go, I want to see him"
Seeing that Tuoba Yan insisted on Mengqiu, he didn't persuade "The princess will wait a minute, the slave maid will let people prepare a sedan chair."
Tuoba Yan has a sedan chair to sit on, Lu Kai does not, since there is no sedan chair, he can only walk with his legs, Lu Kai either left the Pawn Office or went to Cheng Weilian's subordinate hospital, knowing that the princess would deliberately find Cheng Weilian in advance, so that it would not seem abrupt to see people.
Seeing Cheng Wei Lian Lu Kai in the hall, he smiled, "The general division is really nostalgic, and he still lives here after being promoted."
After doing such a big thing, how could Cheng Weilian not be happy, "Don't say it, I'm not comfortable here at home"
Lu Kaikuan smiled and said, "Why didn't the king give you a mansion when you were promoted?" ”
Cheng Weilian laughed and said, "The City Defense Department is not a big official, and it is a bit too much to give a house."
Lu Kai said, "If others don't give it, it's a big deal to find the money, it's not too much to say that you are the prime minister's son, and it's not too much to give a house."
Cheng Weilian seemed indifferent and said, "Whatever, I don't care if I give it or not, as long as my father doesn't say that I have nothing to do, it's better to mess with it than anything."
Lu Kai casually perfunctory, "That's what I said"
Lu Kai smiled and asked, "I heard that the princess is here?" ”
As soon as Tuoba Yan was mentioned, Cheng Weilian looked sullen, although he was sullen, he still glared at Lu Kai: "It's okay if she's here, lest you always threaten me with this!" ”
Lu Kai smiled and said, "When did you threaten the Tongsi with this?"
Cheng Weilian sat up straight helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, why are you looking for me?" I said that I would not investigate the matter of the Heavenly Virtue Temple, if it is for this matter, I will not open my mouth."
Lu Kai chuckled lightly, "It's not for the Tiande Palace, I'm just curious about what the princess thinks."
How could Lu Kai not know what Cheng Minghu thought of the princess, so asking was just chatting and delaying time to wait for the princess to come, Tuoba Yan did not disappoint Lu Kai, the person had already arrived at the Pawn Office, and the guards of the Pawn Office had just fallen and knelt down in unison, "I have seen the princess"
Tuoba Yan slowly got out of the sedan chair, "Let's get up, can the general division be in the department?" ”
The guard said, "Here, the little princess goes."
The guards led Tuoba Yan Mengqiu to Cheng Wei's subordinate courtyard, and along the way, Mengqiu walked around and said softly to Tuoba Yan, "Princess, this reception of foreign guests is too small, not as grand as us."
Tuoba Yan smiled slightly, "Be quiet, don't let people hear"
Mengqiu covered her mouth and smiled at Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan said lightly, "Small is small, I heard that the planting in the Pawn Office is personally supervised by the King of Shu, from this point of view, our Pawn Office is not as big as this Pawn Bureau."
The ground is a little wet, the paved stone path remains slightly cool and wet, and the trees next to it are also wet, and it has not rained to see that it is artificially cooled.
Cheng Weilian stared at Lu Kaidao with horizontal eyes, "You threaten me with the princess, dare to say that you don't know what your father thinks of her?" ”
Lu just opened his mouth, only to listen to the guard's announcement, "Tongsi, the princess is here"
"The princess is here!" Cheng Wei stood up suddenly and looked quite surprised, seeing Lu Kai looking at him with a smile, Cheng Wei sat down with a straight face and "let people in"
"Yes," the guard retreated.
Although Lu Kailai's purpose was the princess, it was not easy for the princess to stay, so she deliberately got up and said, "Since the princess is here, then the lower official will not bother, and the lower official will retire."
Seeing that Lu Kai was about to leave, Cheng Wei hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, wait a minute, don't go, what are you going to go before you finish speaking, sit down"
Lu Kai looked embarrassed, "The princess is here, the lower official is not here." Not okay? ”
Cheng Weilian didn't want to stay alone with Tuoba Yan now, so he had to find a way to let Lu Kai stay, "Sit down, sit down, what's wrong with coming, by the way, the princess is here, please be safe?" ”
Lu Kai shook his head, "I just learned about this, so I haven't gone to ask for peace yet."
Cheng Weilian smiled and said, "It's best not to ask for peace yet, isn't it just right to ask the princess to stay here?"
Lu Kai is not an official of the Southern Wei Dynasty, so it stands to reason that he should try to avoid the princess, so as not to let the princess find out that something is wrong, Lu Kai is not worried about this at all, because the princess will not know the envoy at all.
Since the identity is a festival envoy, there is nothing wrong with asking the princess to say goodbye, and now insisting on leaving will definitely make Cheng Weilian feel strange, and when it comes to this, he has to sit down and "If it's not troublesome, just stay and ask for peace"
Cheng Wei even saw that he persuaded Lu Kai to stay as a companion, and he was relieved, "Sit down, sit down, you can't go if you don't let you go"
Mengqiu helped Tuoba Yan to slowly enter, the princess was present, Lu Kai was not good, sat up and saluted respectfully, "The lower official has seen the princess"
Cheng Weilian also got up and looked polite, and said, "I've seen the princess"
Tuoba Yan saw Lu Kaimian looking at it for a while, and asked Cheng Weilian, "Who is this..." ”
Cheng Weilian looked puzzled, "Isn't this your Southern Wei envoy, why don't you recognize him?" ”
Tuoba Yan looked at Lu Kai at this time, "It turns out that it is a festival envoy who is exempt from etiquette."
"Thank you, princess" Lu Kai received the gift and stood still.
Tuoba looked at Cheng Wei and said, "I don't love politics either, and my father didn't accompany him when he sent envoys, so I haven't seen it."
The little prince pastry Lu Kai said that he was a princess professor, but Cheng Weilian was not there in the Taishi Mansion that night, and he didn't know about it, Cheng Weilian nodded, "So that's the case, sit down"
Mengqiu helped people sit down, and Cheng Wei even looked at the red sky outside the house, and then he arrived, "Why did you come here at this time?" ”
Tuoba Yan smiled indifferently: "I came here at this time because I was hungry?" ”
Cheng Wei said, "Hungry? Cheng Weilian looked down and said, "Come here to eat?" ”
Tuoba Yanya smiled: "Why can't you afford to invite it?" ”
Cheng Wei Lianda was strange: "The chef of the restaurant is sick?" ”
Mengqiu frowned and said, "Tongsi, it's not about you, the princess came over with a big belly and wanted to have a meal with you, looking at Tongsi, she looks disgusted!" ”
Tuoba Yan said sharply: "Mengqiu! Don't be rude."
"Yes," Mengqiu stood aside.
Although everyone is here, although he is a little reluctant, Cheng Weilian is not easy to drive people away, "Come on"
The guards came in and "commanded"
Cheng Wei said, "The princess wants to eat here, and he ordered him to go down and make something delicious."
"Yes," the guard retreated.
Cheng Wei was even careless and Lu Kaike got up carefully and said, "Princess, the cook of the Pawn Office is not an imperial chef and doesn't know what the princess likes to eat, so it's better to let her go to the back kitchen with the subordinates, and tell them to make the princess's favorite food."
Lu Kai is careful and considerate in line with Tuoba Yan's meaning, even if he doesn't say it, he will let Mengqiu stare at it, and Lu Kai will not look abrupt when he opens his mouth, and said with a smile, "Mengqiu, go with the festival"
