Chapter 37 Scenery Outside the Palace
Kang Yufei obeyed the arrangement and waited at the gate of Dongzhimen, until the prince's carriage stopped in front of her, she didn't bother and got into the car directly.
But the crown prince felt a little strange, "What about your handmaid?" ”
"Fang's mother is too old to sit in the carriage. Yi Min's temper is bigger than that of the courtiers, and she is afraid that she won't be able to watch it when she leaves the palace, so she still doesn't bring it. ”
The prince was vigilant and pondered carefully for a while, "With Yi Min, my guards here are all men, it's inconvenient to protect you, take her safely." ”
Kang Yufei raised her eyebrows, "Obey the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
Although he felt weird, the prince couldn't find fault or omission, so he could only order his subordinates to pay great attention.
Along the way, Kang Yufei sat by the car window, as far away from the prince as possible, just closed his eyes and recuperated, and did not listen, ask or speak. The prince had no choice but to take her. But it was that Yi Min, sitting in front of the carriage, chattering, saying for a while that the cakes of this house smelled fragrant, and then saying that the clothes sold by this house looked so ugly.
"County Lord, the rouge gouache of Shuiyue Fang, let's go down and have a look?"
Kang Yufei lifted the curtain and looked out.
The prince patted the carport, "Stop." ”
The carriage came to an abrupt halt.
"Forget it, there's no shortage of this." Kang Yufei lowered the curtain and sat back in his seat.
The prince patted the carport again, "Let's go." ”
Kang Yufei suddenly turned around again, opened the carriage door and said to the groom, "Go to North Street." ”
The coachman did not hear the prince's order, and did not dare to agree.
This North Street is far away from the backyard of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in Beijing, so don't you really have the heart to go back and take a look? Thinking like this, the prince felt even more uneasy, but he couldn't dismiss Kang Yufei's interest, and shouted to the coachman, "North Street." ”
Although the North Street is not as lively as the East Market near the entrance of the palace, it is also a bustling street market, selling mostly pen and ink and literary plays, and most of the people coming and going are readers, but there are many people but not noisy.
Kang Yufei stopped the carriage in a gold, silver and jade shop, and when he got out of the car, the prince was suspicious and arranged for someone to look inside and outside before Kang Yufei and Yi Min entered the store.
This is a shop that can also repair jewelry, Kang Yufei seems to be an old customer, as soon as he enters the store, the store takes out a bracelet with gold and jade, "Miss, this bracelet takes a lot of time, so the delivery is many days late, and I hope Miss will understand." ”
Yi Min said, "It's out of the way, as long as the thing is satisfying." She took the bracelet and handed it to Kang Yufei.
Kang Yufei looked carefully.
Familiar shop, and after delaying for half a day, the prince naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Squinting at the store from top to bottom.
"Who is this son?" The shopkeeper was uncomfortable and could only talk to the prince.
"He ......," Kang Yufei couldn't help coughing as soon as he spoke.
"What's the matter, it was fine when it came out." The prince hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Kang Yufei waved his hand, "It's okay, my throat is very uncomfortable, probably because of the smell in the carriage." Kang Yufei explained two sentences, and couldn't help coughing a few words.
Yi Min didn't care much about her master, and looked at a golden step shake with high interest, "Yu Fei, county lord, look, it doesn't look like the one you dropped." ”
Kang Yufei didn't care about Yi Min's interest, but still looked at his bracelet carefully, "Shop, I'm satisfied with the others, but can I engrave words on this gold vessel?" ”
"Yes, what does the young lady want to engrave."
"North, north of the north."
"Okay, it's just a little while, will Miss wait in the store or come back in two days?"
"I'll wander around and come back in half an hour."
"Okay."
Kang Yufei only had time to pay attention to Yi Min at this time, and when she leaned over to take a look, her face was a little more happy, "It's really like it." Shop, is this golden step for sale? ”
"Oh, sorry, this doesn't sell. This is the promise of a son to his sweetheart. ”
"Something in love? Why put it here. ”
"Miss doesn't know, this son came to my shop to learn this craft simply, this is made by himself, the gold wire on it is his own hand, and this bead pendant is also strung by him."
"There are still such caring people in the world, but it is chic." Kang Yufei seemed to be interested, picked up the step and swayed, and looked left and right.
"This is not, so, while it is not finished, I will put it for him, give a good talk to the guests, and make a fortune for this son."
"In the future, it will be a pair that everyone will envy." Kang Yufei showed a sunny smile that the prince hadn't seen for a long time, and the boredom of the past few days was swept away, and even the weather seemed to have become warmer. "It reminds me of my second brother." She turned her head to look at Yi Min, and her smile widened.
The prince came closer, and wanted to say something happily.
Kang Yufei felt someone approaching, looked up, and remembered that the prince was still here, so he couldn't help but change his face and frown slightly, "Yi Min, let's go to another store for a walk." ”
The prince froze in place, unable to move.
Kang Yufei went to a few stores in a row, but he didn't buy anything, but his cough was getting worse and worse, Yi Min was still in high spirits, and it looked like Kang Yufei was accompanying Yi Min to go shopping.
A small shop selling cloth on the street, along with which she can also cut clothes, Kang Yufei fell in love with a water-green brocade floor-length dress, "The style is ordinary, but I like the color." ”
"Look at this cut, the shopkeeper's craftsmanship should be good, maybe you can wear it if you change it." Yi Min should be in harmony.
"Really? Then I'll give it a try. ”
Kang Yufei turned his head to look for the figure of the prince, he seemed to be tired, sitting on a chair in the corner of the store, in a daze.
"Too ...... I'll try on this garment, and I'll come out in a moment...... Ahem...... "Kang Yufei still said hello to the prince very well.
When the prince heard the fitting on, he became alert, beckoned the two to come over, and walked around the store, but he did not find any trouble.
Kang Yufei and Yi Min followed the store into the inner room, there was no other way out, they could see the entry and exit, the store had a back door, and someone was also arranged to guard it, everything was very proper.
After leaving the palace now, it has been nearly an hour, and Kang Yufei has been in order, as if he has not had any other thoughts.
There was always the sound of Kang Yufei's coughing intermittently, and the sound of several people talking about clothes, and after a long time, the door finally opened. Kang Yufei's cough became more and more uncomfortable, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "It's too ...... I...... I'll go to the other side...... Cough...... Cough...... Spread out some medicine on the opposite side ......"
"Okay, I'll accompany you, it's really not good, let's go back." The prince followed Kang Yufei and walked quickly to the opposite medicinal herb shop, and just as he reached the middle of the road, a carriage turned around the corner of the street, and the horse's hooves did not stop and rushed towards the two of them.
"Be careful...... Kang Yufei quickly pushed the prince away, and as soon as the two separated, the carriage passed between the two without stopping a single step.
The prince felt that the carriage was strange, and what was even more strange was that across the street, and even the entire street, there was suddenly no trace of Kang Yufei.
The carriage must be the oddity of the carriage.
"Chase."
Fortunately, the prince was prepared, he took his horse, stepped on, and chased the carriage, the horses and people he prepared were the best in the palace, he guarded against Kang Yufei's move, even if he was at the end of the world, he could chase her back.
It was indeed not as convenient for a carriage to walk through the streets as a single horse, and it was only four blocks away before the carriage was stopped by the prince.
"Kang Yufei, you get off for me." The prince led people and surrounded the carriage, and the coachman looked unfazed and looked at the prince lightly.
There was indeed someone in the carriage, she walked down and smiled at the crown prince, "Your Royal Highness the prince, are you following me?" ”
It turned out to be Yi Min.
