Chapter 105: King Yi Sends Dim Sum
Mu Wanyu came out of the inner room of the study and draped a cloak over the prince's body. Her eyes were as pale as water, stealing deep attachment and distress.
"Okay, then let's go to you."
The prince turned around and took Mu Wanyu's hand, his eyes softened and came first.
No one can replace his cousin's position in his heart, and she is the only one in this palace who is completely sincere to him, and the other women either look at his face, or his identity, how much glory can he bring to them, all with various purposes.
She was the only one who followed him, and she didn't ask for anything. Such sincerity is very rare in the royal family.
The corners of Mu Wanyu's mouth rose slightly, hooking up a gentle arc: "Your Highness, the things you need tomorrow have been taken care of." ”
"When it's just the two of us in private, Wanyu just calls me cousin."
He still likes the way she softly calls her cousin, as if she is back to her childhood.
Mu Wanyu pursed her lips and called out a little embarrassedly: "Cousin." ”
She leaned her head in his arms, a smile flashed in her eyes, and sure enough, Mama Fu was right, she didn't need to fight for anything, as long as she kept the prince like it, it was enough, and the friendship between the two since childhood was irreplaceable.
Thinking of what Mama Fu said to her, she sighed slightly.
Mama Fu is really a confidant by her aunt's side, and her mind is transparent. It would be nice if he could be by his side, but unfortunately he was sent to Lin Youran by the prince, and he was destined to be supported.
But it's okay, it won't make Mama Fu embarrassed. When she was young, Mama Fu was very good to her, and she didn't want to embarrass her.
Let's see if there will be a chance in the future to bring the rich grandmother back from Lin Youran's side. Anyway, she heard that when she was at the palace banquet, she just pointed out a grandmother to teach Lin Youran the rules, and naturally she could come back after teaching the rules.
Back in Mu Wanyu's courtyard, both of them were worried. In addition, I will leave early tomorrow morning, so I will just cover the quilt and sleep.
On the second day, there was not yet a lot of daylight. The lights of the Guogong Mansion were lit, and the people began to get busy.
The old lady sat on the low floor outside Ningshou Garden, looking at the daughter-in-law and grandchildren of the third room who came early.
"You don't have to come here, you get up so early and busy, it's time to leave in a while."
When she was old, she went to autumn hunting with her grandfather and rested in the house. Originally, the old country didn't go in previous years, but this year, the emperor handed over this errand to him with King Tongyi, so he could only leave his old wife and follow.
Lin Zhuohua hadn't woken up yet, and rubbed his eyes.
"I won't see my grandmother for half a month, but Zhuohua will miss you."
"Have you honeyed your little mouth? I used to make my grandmother happy, and if I was afraid to miss my grandmother, I would stay with me. The old lady was in a very good mood and pinched Lin Zhuohua's nose to tease her.
Lin Zhuohua's little face wrinkled together, and he made an embarrassed look: "Zhuohua wants to accompany his grandmother very much, but he also wants to go to autumn hunting." ”
The old lady glared at her angrily: "I don't want you to stay with me, lest you feel a pity when your brothers come back to give you the fun of autumn hunting." ”
A few people talked and laughed, and breakfast was brought over from the kitchen. Everyone had breakfast together, and the carriage and things were ready to be put on the cart.
The princess regent has not left yet, but she cannot go to the autumn hunt. So he stayed with the old lady, and it just so happened that they had not seen each other for many years.
Originally, Wen Shunan and Qin Jiayan both had their own carriages, but they were bored on the road, so they decided to make a carriage with Lin Zhuohua, and a few maids sat in the carriage behind.
Three people sat in a carriage and it was not crowded. This time, Lin Zhuohua deliberately changed to a larger carriage, and he would not feel crowded if he was four or five people.
The carriages of each family met at the south gate of Shangjing, waiting for the arrival of the carriages of the emperor and the princes, and then drove to the palace together.
It's almost autumn now, and the temperature is already very low in the morning.
The stove was burning in the carriage, and all three of them leaned on soft pillows a little listlessly. I woke up too early in the morning, and I was a little sleepy at this time.
"Zhuohua's carriage is really comfortable, lying on it feels like lying on the couch at home." Qin Jiayan covered the corners of her mouth and yawned, the warmth in the carriage made people a little drowsy.
"It takes about two days from Shangjing to the palace, and it is not good for so many people to live in the inn, and it is estimated that they will camp in the wilderness. You have asked people to prepare so much silver charcoal, and you have thought really thoughtfully. ”
Wen Shunan admired Lin Zhuohua's carefulness, she didn't expect any of this. I just brought some snacks and a notebook, and kept them to relieve my boredom these days, after all, she is not very good at riding and shooting, just ordinary.
"That's not what I think, it's not Bai Yu and Hong Zhu. They have been preparing since they knew that they were going to hunt in autumn, and everything was very detailed. ”
She has a bit of a big temperament, but she can't think of such a meticulous thing, but fortunately, the two maids around her are more delicate.
After chatting for a while, they heard movement outside. When the curtain was lifted, the royal procession came over.
They hurriedly got up, got out of the carriage, and stood respectfully by the carriage. Wait until the royal team has passed, and then turn around and get into the car.
Putting together the thin quilt on his body, Lin Zhuohua snorted: "It's really cold." ”
After the royal procession arrived, the large army began to move together in the direction of the palace.
Most of the carriages of the Lin family were modified according to Lin Zhuohua's drawings, so they didn't feel bumpy on the road.
The three little girls got together and fell asleep after chatting for a while.
By the time they woke up again, it was already lunchtime. The large army stopped, and it was naturally impossible to prepare a sumptuous lunch outside, so they all brought some food to eat in their respective carriages, and after eating, they were active in the surrounding activities, after all, it was very tiring to sit in the carriage for a long time.
Lin Zhuohua brought a lot of food, and packed it in a special box in the space, which can keep it fresh.
After eating some, they all got out of the carriage and moved their muscles.
Li Zeyi rode over and saw three girls chatting under the tree. He rolled over and dismounted, and walked over.
For the gaze projected by others, just don't see it.
He walked up to Lin Zhuohua and handed her a food box: "These are all the snacks I specially prepared for you to eat, you can eat slowly when you are in the car." I didn't dare to make this trip, and my father said that I could get off the bus every other hour to stretch my muscles. ”
Lin Zhuohua took the box, and the sweet smell wafted out of the box. She opened it, and sure enough, they all liked to eat.
"Father is going to call me later, I'll go back first."
"Wait." Lin Zhuohua stopped him, then turned around and walked to the carriage, came over and took out a box for him, and whispered in his ear: "This is my own food, there are some poisons and corresponding antidotes in the Ling, and the pills in the colorful bottles can help you relieve your fatigue." ”
Several princes are riding horses, although Li Zeyi also has carriages, but now he wants to change his image in everyone's hearts little by little, so he is naturally also riding horses.
"Okay, I know." Li Zeyi's eyes softened, he reached out and rubbed her hair, then put the box in his sleeve pocket, and then turned over and left.
Seeing Li Zeyi leaving, Wen Shunan and Qin Jiayan came over. Looking at the direction that King Yi left, he asked curiously.
"Your relationship with King Yi is so good, he actually brought you snacks himself."
Qin Jiayan winked at Lin Zhuohua, if she couldn't see the cattiness between the two, then she would be really blind.
Lin Zhuohua glanced at the two of them and coughed lightly: "Let's get in the carriage, it's time to leave in a while." ”
Wen Shunan and Qin Jiayan glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and it was really rare to see Lin Zhuohua shy.
As soon as the three of them were about to get into the carriage, they heard Feng Shuhui's voice coming.
"Wait for me."
Feng Shuhui ran over to this side, and was slightly out of breath when she arrived in front of the three of them.
"Why are you here?"
The Feng family's carriage was a little far away from the Guogong Mansion, so they didn't go to find Feng Shuhui, but they didn't expect her to come by herself.
"It was so boring to ride in the carriage by myself, so I got my mother and father's permission to come and sit with you."
Lin Zhuohua didn't object, after all, her carriage was spacious and enough.
The four of them got into the carriage together, and the place was very spacious.
She took out a small table and unfolded it, then took out the horse cards. The four of them gathered around and played horse cards.
Mrs. Lin sat in the carriage in front of several people, and when she heard the pleasant laughter coming from the carriage behind, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
"The eldest lady's temperament is much more cheerful than before, and the lady can rest assured now."
Mrs. Lin smiled when she heard this: "Her original temperament is like this, and it was not because she was tied to the name of the crown princess that she didn't dare to go too far in words and deeds." Now that there is no such shackle, it will naturally return to its original appearance. ”
Compared to the daughter when she was named the future crown princess, she prefers the temperament of her current daughter.
"Stop again in a moment, and you'll deliver this box of snacks."
When it came to the snacks, the grandmother who was waiting on the side hesitated for a moment and said: "When the old slave just got off the car, I saw that King Yi sent a box of snacks to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady also returned a box. ”
Hearing Mama's words, Mrs. Lin's brows furrowed tightly: "What do you think?" ”
"The old slave looked at the relationship between the eldest lady and King Yi was not like an ordinary brother and sister, and King Yi looked at the eldest lady with very tender and affectionate eyes."
Mrs. Lin's heart tightened, and her brows furrowed fiercely. The daughter contacted the prince for a marriage contract, and she and her husband felt that they didn't want their daughter to marry into the royal family again. Hearing Mama say this today, I can't help but be a little worried.
"Let's put this matter aside first, and when the autumn hunt returns, I'll ask Zhuohua from the side."
She suppressed her thoughts, and finally came out once, but let her daughter have fun. When she gets back, she'll ask. Don't spoil your daughter's mood for some of your own speculations.
"Yes, the old slave will also pay more attention to the eldest lady and King Yi during this time."
If it was as they guessed, they would have made some preparations in advance.
Three days later, the team finally arrived at the palace slowly, this time the emperor only brought the virtuous concubine and the concubine Wan, and the queen stayed in the palace to sit in the town.
The courtyard assigned by the Lin family is adjacent to the courtyard of Prince and Princess Yan, and it can be regarded as the emperor taking special care of Prince Yan. Wait until everything is arranged and it gets dark. After a simple dinner, everyone rested early, after all, the three-day journey was very tired.
This time she didn't bring white jade and red beads, because she could only bring two maids, so she brought jade and agate with her.
After the two waited for her to lie down, they went to the low floor outside to keep vigil, which was not as good as the house, and there was no place for the maid to rest alone.
Perhaps it was because she had been on the road for three days in a row, and even though her carriage did not bump in the slightest, she still felt very tired, and lay on the bed, and fell asleep quickly.
Because it takes half a month to hunt in the palace, the emperor ordered everyone to rest for a day, just waiting for people from the other two countries to come.
The palace of Emperor Jingguo is very large, almost the same as the imperial palace. So the other two countries came with people, and it was more than enough to fit those people.
Because there was nothing to do today, Lin Zhuohua got up late, and it was already past breakfast time.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up. Seeing Jade and Agate coming in, one holding a food box and the other holding a copper basin.
Wait for her to wash and eat, and then speak: "Miss, in the morning, the guards came over with the wind, saying that His Royal Highness King Yi would come to you next." ”
Lin Zhuohua nodded, and asked the two of them to wait for her to comb her hair and change clothes. When she finished cleaning up, Li Zeyi came with Suifeng.
Welcoming people in, Jade stepped aside after serving tea.
"Didn't go to the emperor's side?"
Li Zeyi sat down on the other side of the small table, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "My father is talking to the prince, I don't think it's interesting to come out." ”
"Do you know why the other two countries are here this time?"
In previous years, this was not the case, and this year suddenly the other two countries are also coming to join in the fun, which has to make people think more.
"I don't know, my father didn't say it. But I think it's probably because I didn't get the first place in the big competition of the three houses, and I want to get back to one percent in hunting. ”
He didn't care about any of this, although it was a little different from his previous life. But he has already made a strict arrangement, and there will be no problems.
Lin Zhuohua saw that he didn't care, so he didn't say anything.
The two have just come together, and they naturally like to get tired of being together. Time flies, and it's noon in a blink of an eye.
Li Zeyi wanted to stay here for lunch, but was called away by the emperor.
Lin Zhuohua got up and took Jade and Agate to his mother's place for lunch.
Mrs. Lin was chatting with the second and third ladies, and when she saw her come in, she immediately beckoned her to come and sit down.
"Second aunt, third aunt Ann." She saluted, and then sat down beside Mrs. Lin.
"It's nothing to do today, so I'll come and sit down." Qin Xiaoyue held the teacup and looked at Lin Zhuohua's smiling opening.
"I think it's noon, so why don't you eat here."
This palace is naturally not as convenient as in their own house, and it saves a lot of trouble for everyone to eat together, so the two of them did not refuse, and by the way, they asked Wen Shunan and Qin Jiayan to come over together.
The three maidens sat together, and after lunch, they walked in the palace.
In fact, the three of them were coming to the palace for the first time, and they were all quite curious.
The gorgeousness that the palace doesn't know is similar to that of the Beijing court. There is a royal style everywhere, and the only difference is that there is a little more Jiangnan charm here, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.
The autumn night was a little cool, and the three of them went to the pavilion in the back garden to sit down. The maid put her cloak on them, and withdrew to guard under the pavilion.
"I heard that people from Rui and Jin are here today, and there are quite a few of them, I'm afraid it's going to be lively this time."
Qin Jiayan pestled her chin and her gaze fell on the bright moon in the night sky. I don't know if my father is here this time, and if she does, she will go over and have a look.
"It's better to be lively."
Lin Zhuohua opened her mouth indifferently, remembering that when she first arrived at the palace yesterday, she noticed a gaze that seemed to have been poisoned falling on her, she looked back, and sure enough, she saw the gloomy gaze of the county lord Ni Yuan, as if she was going to eat her.
If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone.
If Lord Ni Yuan still dares to provoke her, then don't blame her for being polite.
A cold light flashed in Lin Zhuohua's eyes, especially when she knew that Lord Ni Yuan liked Li Zeyi very much, and she was even more entangled with him. Now that she is with Li Zeyi, she will naturally not be allowed to pester him all the time.
Lin Zhuohua is a person who dares to love and hate, and now that he has determined that he also likes Li Zeyi, he naturally has to swear his sovereignty.
In the previous life, her love for the prince was like this, she couldn't even want her life for him, but unfortunately the other party never cared. Now that she was born again, she had seen a lot.
Those innocences have long been completely abandoned by her after being reborn.
"I've seen a few sisters leisurely."
Suddenly, a soft voice broke the harmonious atmosphere, and Lin leisurely held Mama Dong's hand and walked towards them.
Under the moonlight, the girl wore a long white dress. The hair is simply tied in a bun and a hairpin is made of beaded flowers, which is simple and generous.
The hazy moonlight cast a halo on her body, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal dust.
Lin Zhuohua retracted his gaze and sighed in his heart. This Lin Youran is now more and more seductive, beautiful and charming.
But she really has some expectations, I don't know if this kind of Lin Youran can defeat the white moonlight Mu Concubine in the prince's heart, these two white lotus flowers should be very exciting.
She came back to her senses and smiled, "Why did my sister come over?" ”
Judging by the direction she came, it didn't seem to come from the courtyard where they lived.
"No, my sister just came from the prince's side, and when I saw my sisters here, I came over to say hello."
She said softly, and then continued, "Sisters, do you mind if your sister sits for a while?" ”
Wen Shunan and Qin Jiayan looked at Lin Zhuohua together, and they both knew the grievances between the two.
The sister-in-law robbed the sister-in-law's marriage, if this is changed to someone else, the two will definitely have a grudge.
Lin Zhuohua smiled when he heard this: "Naturally, I don't mind, my sister can sit if she wants to." ”
Now that she and Lin Youran are in a state of truce, she naturally won't tear her face in front of others. Even if Lin Youran snatched her position as the crown princess on the face, she and Lin Youran lived in peace, and she would only be praised, so why not.
Lin Youran looked at Lin Zhuohua, she had been staring at Lin Zhuohua these days, and found that her relationship with King Yi was a little different.
"My sister heard a piece of news, and I think my sister will be very interested."
