After resting in the dormitory for a while, Yuebai knocked on the door and told me that he was going to leave for the capital.

I opened the door of the temple with confused eyes, and there were still some marks on my face.

Qi Jingqin and Yuebai were waiting for me at the door, and when they heard me come out, Qi Jingqin turned around and said to me with a smile: "You've been hungry for a long time, aren't you?" ”

I think it's a little bit like that.

He stepped forward and touched the marks on my face, I felt ashamed, and quickly turned my face sideways, he laughed heartily twice, and said: "Mr. Fuzhong Si invited a famous chef from your mother's hometown Qinhuai a few days ago, this king has not tasted it, Mr. Si wrote to say that this person has excellent cooking skills, do you want to try it together?" ”

I looked up at him, there was a hint of surprise in my eyes, thinking that it was Qin Huai's famous chef, I was interested in trying it.

I nodded and said, "Okay." ”

I was so confused that Yuebai covered her mouth and smiled behind me, this girl became more and more unruly in front of me, I was busy giving her a look, but she was used to being connived by me, she smiled: "The prince and the young lady said first, and the slave went to see if the chess was ready." ”

After saying that, I ran away, I looked at her back, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a big girl." ”

Qi Jingqin laughed out loud and said, "This king looks at it, and this sentence is suitable for you." ”

I blushed and pretended to beat him, but as soon as I raised my hand, he grabbed it, pulled him into his arms, and said, "Now you are not small, even the prince dares to fight." ”

He was slender, much taller than me, and I was held in his arms, and as I struggled with him, he hugged me tighter, and I said sullenly, "You didn't tease me first!" ”

"Oh! If you can't compare to others, you can do it? When he saw that I was struggling, he slowly let go, grabbed my shoulder, and looked at me.

I had just woken up, and I really didn't have much energy to quarrel with him, so I tried my best to break away and he was about to run towards the Taoyuan gate, when he pulled me from behind and shouted, "Watch your step! Don't fall! ”

It was so amusing that he chased me like this, so I dodged him left and right, and our laughter echoed in the peach orchard.

He quarreled with me for a while, then grabbed me, held my head and pulled me to the Taoyuan Gate: "Okay, don't make trouble." Time to go. ”

I nodded obediently and followed him out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw something terrible, and I exclaimed, "Chess! Moon White! What are you doing! ”

I said that Yuebai was not by my side these days, it turned out that Cheng Ri and Di Qi stayed together, at this time they were still talking inside, and the two also sat together to talk, and Yue Bai was still leaning on Di Qi's shoulder.

When they saw us coming out, they hurriedly bounced away, and I pointed at Qiqi and Yuebai with a look of disbelief: "You ......"

There was a skinless smile on Qi Qi's face, and he looked at Qi Jingqin: "The prince ......"

Thinking that Qi Jingqin is also a master who indulges his subordinates on weekdays, he smiled and grabbed my hand, helped me into the car, and said, "Okay, instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself." ”

Hearing Qi Jingqin say this, Yuebai and Qi Qi seemed to have received huge permission, Qi Qi stood in front of the carriage and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

I sat in the sedan chair with a depressed face, and Qi Jingqin looked at me next to me and asked, "What's wrong?" Yuebai and Qiqi are not small. Miss, this is only allowed to be set on fire by the state officials, and not allowed to light lamps by the people? ”

As soon as we were seated, the carriage slowly began to move.

I said, "Why don't I allow the people to light lamps?" It's just—" I bowed my head and wrung my fingers, "the light is lighting too fast." The lights in the palace were about to burn down the backyard of the General's Mansion, and all of a sudden the two daughters were ......"

There are not many female dependents in the house, Yuebai and I grew up together, is my closest playmate and sister, in the house is like the second lady, Liang Bo also said on weekdays that we are both daughters of the general's mansion.

Qi Jingqin laughed heartily when he heard it, and he said, "It turns out that you are thinking about this." Don't worry about this now, when we get married, we will allow them to marry in two years. ”

I hurriedly went up to cover his mouth, looked at the shaking door curtain, and said: "Don't say it too early, this, although I intend to arrange a marriage for Yuebai, but it also depends on Yuebai's thoughts, in case they don't mean that, or, Yiqi is not a person who can be entrusted for life." ”

As soon as I finished saying this, I sat behind the curtain and drove the carriage Qi Qi heard it unexpectedly, and he said: "Miss, don't wronged the slave, I have followed the prince since I was a child, although Wen Taowu is not as strong as the prince in this regard, and the appearance and identity are not as good as the prince, but I know how the prince has a temperament that I can't make up, and I have been together for a long time, although I am not as good as the prince, but the character and behavior are not much different from the prince." The young lady said that the slave is okay, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to carry the prince, right? ”

I kicked in his direction and said angrily, "I can't see that you have the same temperament as the prince." ”

When Yuebai saw me kicking him, she hurriedly grabbed him to prevent him from falling, and didn't forget to say coquettishly: "Miss, be careful not to kick him down." ”

"Humph! Eat inside and out! "I don't know why, I should be happy to see Yuebai and Yiqi get better, but I always feel a little lost in my heart, and I always feel that a piece is missing.

Yuebai has been recognized as my maid since she was a child, and she is going to serve me for a lifetime, although I have never thought of imprisoning her by my side for a lifetime, but when I think that she has a favorite person, and I think that she will marry someone in the future, I have infinite emotion in my heart.

◎

After a while, the sedan car slowly stopped, and at this time it was already nightfall, and the night sky was like a thick inkstone, deep and could not be opened.

Qi Qi stopped the carriage and said outside, "Lord Wang, Miss." The palace has arrived. ”

Yuebai got out of the car and lifted the curtain, Qi Jingqin had been closing his eyes on the road, and he had not rested well because of the festival of worshipping the god of flowers.

He stepped out of the carriage before me, and then naturally turned and stretched out his hand to me, I was stunned for a moment, smiled and put my hand in his palm, and jumped out of the carriage with his strength.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Si Nanping greeted us with a smile, saluted us, and said: "Miss Wang Ye is tired of traveling and driving, Nanping has already prepared wine and food for Miss Wang Ye to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

I looked at Qi Jingqin beside me, and he smiled and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”

Si Nanping is a talented man, he is a famous genius in the Celestial Empire, and now the saint wants to worship him as a prince, but he refuses on the grounds that he wants to travel the country, and he doesn't know why he will appear in the Jingwang Mansion to Qi Jingqin as a staff member.

Now that he saw the appearance of Corporal Qi Jingqin Lixian, he also knew why he wanted to stay in the palace, and being an official in the court was not as good as being an idle son.

Si Nanping waved at me and said with a smile: "Miss, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

I returned the favor and said, "Mr. Si, don't come unharmed." ”

Si Nanping smiled, took the luggage for us, and led us into the house.

At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate of the palace, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with four big characters - "Prince Jing's Mansion"

Prince Jing's Mansion is large-scale, covering an area of about 60,000 square meters, divided into two parts: mansion and garden, with more than 30 buildings of various types, exquisite layout, extraordinary style.

I followed them around for a long time before I arrived at the banquet hall tonight.

Si Nanping is ingenious, the banquet is set up in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, listening to the music near the lake, and there are several lotus lanterns floating on the lake, looking at the picturesque scenery and drinking and tasting food, there is a unique taste.

I was very happy and smiling.

Even Qi Jingqin couldn't help but praise such ingenious thoughts: "Sir, bothered. ”

Due to the fatigue of everyone's travel, Si Nanping also arranged for Qiqi Yuebai and some entourages to go down to rest.

After the three of us sat down, the maid poured us a full glass of wine, Si Nanping raised the wine glass with a smile, and said to me with a smile: "Miss Liang, try it, this is a fine wine that the prince has treasured for a long time, and the letter specially ordered me to take it out. ”

I thought that literati and elegant guests like Qi Jingqin Si Nanping only loved Wenmo and Shubao, but I didn't know that they also loved to drink like my father and brother and the generals.

I took a small sip, I don't usually drink alcohol on weekdays, I can clearly feel the wonder of this wine, a mellow sweet feeling fills the mouth, flows into the abdomen, warm and very intimate.

I smiled and joked: "It's a pity that my father and brother are not here, if they can get such good wine, I am afraid that they will be excited for three days and three nights, and they only sleep with the wine jar." ”

It was just a joke, Qi Jingqin heard it and ordered the little guy behind him, saying, "Go." Go to my room and take the two jars of wine, and bring them back to the young lady later. ”

I hurriedly refused: "Don't, although Huanqing doesn't know wine, but just because the prince treasures this wine so much, he knows that this wine is not easy to come by and is very precious, and he will not be rewarded for nothing, and he also asks the prince to take back his life." ”

Si Nanping smiled and persuaded: "This fine wine is indeed hard-won, but it is not very precious. This wine is called Gusheng, and it is a wine made for the Hu people. It was obtained when the prince went to the southwest for the first time to crusade against Daliang, and it has been saved for four or five years, which is of great significance to the prince. Now the prince wants to give it to Miss, and Miss doesn't have to refuse. ”

Qi Jingqin looked at him and said with a smile: "The king of knowledge, Mr. also." ”

When I saw them like this, I couldn't refuse, so I had to respond.

"Patronized and drunk. Come, Miss Liang, this is a Qinhuai dish specially asked by the prince to make it from the famous chef I invited from Qinhuai. Si Nanping greeted warmly.

I just looked at the dazzling array of exquisite dishes on the table, most of them are river fresh, and people who want to come to the Qinhuai River rely on water to draft.

Just thinking about it, Qi Jingqin smiled and put a piece of fish meat in my bowl, and said: "This is Qinhuai's famous dish steamed river white fish, Qinhuai locals love to eat it, I think your mother also loved it before her death, you can taste it." ”

I picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, hesitated for a while and savored it in my mouth.

Qi Jingqin and Si Nanping looked at me expectantly, and when they saw that I finished eating, they asked in unison, "Is it still to your taste?" ”

I looked at the two of them, and my face was starting to be a little shy, but I nodded and said, "It's delicious." ”

Qi Jingqin smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more." ”

I nodded, and I was no longer restrained, and the three of them pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and soon they were full of wine and food.

After the banquet, Si Nanping said: "The first time Miss came to the palace, she must have to visit for a while. It is known that the Qishan Flower Festival is full of wild flowers, and in fact, the scenery of the palace garden is also very elegant, and it does not lose Qishan at all. ”

I was interested in hearing him say this, and I looked at Qi Jingqin and asked for his opinion in my eyes.

He nodded and said, "Mr. Si has always been thoughtful. ”

I showed a smiling face, Si Nanping led the way in front, and Qi Jingqin and I walked side by side in the back.

The palace is magnificent and magnificent, the style and architecture are quite atmospheric, I heard that this is a courtyard specially built by Qi Jingqin when he was first crowned king, which shows how favored he is as a prince.

I saw that the beautiful trees in the house were verdant, the strange flowers were burning, and a clear stream flowed from the depths of the flowers and trees under the stone gaps.

A few steps further, gradually to the north, flat and wide, both sides of the flying building plugged in, carved embroidered sills, all hidden in the col between the branches.

Looking down at it, then the clear stream is pouring snow, the stone pierces the clouds, the white stone is the column, the edge of the pond is embraced, the stone bridge is three ports, and the beast face is spitting.

Before I reached the garden, I could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers from afar, and I indulged in it and said, "It smells so good." What kind of flower is this? ”

Si Nanping shook the folding fan with a smile and said, "Haven't you seen this flower yet?" ”

I looked in the direction of his finger and looked closely at the flower trees planted all over the court, with white flowers falling on them, and I shook my head: "I haven't seen it." ”

It's not that I don't like flowers, it's just that the gardens in the General's Mansion are all red and purple flowers, and there have never been such elegant and beautiful flowers as moon white.

However, on weekdays, I don't pay much attention to the flowers planted in the garden, and I only love some military books, but my father and brother never allow me to look at them.

I asked, "What kind of flower is this?" ”

As I was talking, I also leaned forward and sniffed hard, and the sweet fragrance that could be smelled from afar, I got closer to smell it, but I didn't feel sweet at all.

Qi Jingqin picked one and put it in my hand, and said with a smile: "This is a gardenia." It is not often found in Shangjing, and Mr. Si got it from elsewhere. If you smell joy, let people pick a few of the flowers and trees in this garden, and send them to the general's mansion to be planted in your yard. ”

I played with this moon-white gardenia in my hand, and there was a faint goose yellow between the stamens, and I sent it to the tip of my nose to smell it greedily.

Hearing that Qi Jingqin was going to send someone to send me a tree again, Si Nanping and I both looked like we couldn't laugh or cry.

I hurriedly refused, "Don't." I just came back to the palace for the first time, and when I went back, I brought wine and trees, and it looked so scary, no need, this flower is not blooming all year round, and it will be gone if I miss the flowering period. Moreover... I don't have many days to live in the house. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his playful wink, he was slightly stunned, and nodded with a smile.

Si Nanping shook his fan and looked at us with a smile.

The gardens of the palace are very different from other gardens in the palace, no matter what kind of flowers are planted here, most of them are beautiful and elegant in color and fragrant. It is said that they were all personally selected by Si Nanping, which is very consistent with his identity as a literati and ink writer.
