Chapter 55: Rock Sugar Gourd

It was not until evening that the carriage they were riding in slowly drove out of the palace gate, when the night was getting dark, the sky was full of stars, the moon was hidden in the clouds, refusing to show its head, and there was silence outside.

The carriage was also unusually quiet, Ji Tian'an covered himself with a blanket again, and Lu Qingze looked at each other, and no one spoke.

It wasn't until the carriage drove to the most prosperous street market that I heard the lively shouts of all kinds outside, and suddenly an old man with a little vicissitudes of life shouted: "Sell sugar gourds, freshly baked sugar gourds." ”

This shout attracted Ji Tian'an to open the corner of the curtain, and he didn't feel cold even when the cold wind poured in outside.

An old man at the corner of the street in front of him wears a simple and simple floor, and has several patches sewn on his body, and there is a small bamboo pole next to him, and the bamboo pole is straw grass, tied with many small strips of cloth, and there are many red sugar gourds on it, which makes people salivate when they look at it.

provoked Ji Qian'an to look at it several times, and she suddenly became greedy.

In this winter, I especially want to eat this sweet and sour gadget.

She lowered the curtain, retracted her head with her reluctant hand, and then instructed Dark Feather outside: "Dark Feather, ask the coachman to stop the carriage." ”

Dark Yu didn't ask much, the master ordered, just do it, and His Royal Highness King Yunqing didn't say no.

Ji Tian'an touched his sleeves, it was over, and he didn't bring any money.

How could she tactfully ask Lu Qingze to buy rock sugar gourds for her?

The carriage happened to stop slowly in front of the old man, Ji Tian'an folded his hands, and suddenly sat dignified, and then, towards Lu Qingze opposite, he kept blinking his eyes.

After blinking for a long time, Lu Qingze didn't understand what Ji Qian'an was doing, so he thought about it before he spoke: "What's wrong with your eyes?" Cramps? ”

Ji Qian'an suddenly wanted to vomit blood, didn't she see that she was pretending to be cute? That's it, "Straight man, really straight man." She looked up to the sky and sighed.

When the words fell, she collapsed again, pouting, her face was full of grievances, and she was a drama spirit.

"What's wrong with you? It doesn't hurt to be straight! Lu Qingze was completely in a state of confusion, how could this woman change her face so quickly, she wanted to praise her for her dignified sitting posture just now, but it turned out to be like a piece of again.

Ji Tian'an pouted again: "I want to eat rock sugar gourd." ”

"Poof~" Lu Qingze couldn't hold back his laughter, "If you want to eat it, just ask Dark Feather to buy it, why do you show me eye cramps?" It's not like my Yunqing Mansion can't even afford rock sugar gourds. ”

Ji Tian'an was speechless.

Yunqing Wangfu is not short of money, but she is lacking!

After Lu Qingze was tired of laughing, he felt more and more that his princess was a strange person, but he still commanded the dark feather outside: "Dark feather, the princess wants to eat rock sugar gourd, you go and buy ten." ”

"Yes." Dark Feather replied and got out of the carriage.

Soon, ten well-packed rock sugar gourds were handed in from the curtain.

There was a row of small tables next to him, and Ji Qian'an, who was watching, was stunned, "Why do you buy so much?" ”

Having said that, she unceremoniously picked up one and began to taste it.

Lu Qingze saw that she was eating very happily, and he felt extremely satisfied: "Buy more for you, eat more." ”

Ji Qian'an raised his head and flew over with a roll of his eyes: "I'm not pregnant, what are you doing eating so much?" I'll only need two, and I'll give you all the rest. ”

As he spoke, he sent the remaining sugar gourds to Lu Qingze.

"......" Lu Qingze only thought that Ji Tian'an's mouth might have been opened, why did he say that?

"I'm not you woman, I'm not good for sweets." Lu Qingze dodged to the side, but he didn't answer, and a sugar gourd fell to the ground in an instant, ending its short life.

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it, it's all wasted." Ji Qian'an, who watched it, was distressed for a while.

So, the finally lively carriage became silent again, and the carriage also moved slowly at this time.

After Ji Qian'an ate two sugar gourds, she didn't eat them again, but she put the remaining seven sugar gourds aside, and she planned to go back to give them to Xiaojun and Mama Xu, and she could also share them with the little girls who served her.

Here Lu Qingze felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was awkward, he thought for a long time, so he spoke: "If you want to eat anything in the future, let Dark Yu buy it for you, you are the princess of Yunqing Palace, and you are also the real housewife, when you have time one day, you can slowly take over the daily expenses of the palace and start managing the palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Tian'an was stunned, this financial power was handed over to her so easily? He trusted her so much?

"Why are you saying this? I only married you yesterday, aren't you afraid that I will mess up the Yunqing Palace? "She has always been straightforward, and she always asks directly if there is anything she hasn't figured out.

"I believe in my vision."

Lu Qingze only left such a sentence that was not the answer to the question, and then he had no words.

Ji Tian'an pondered for a moment and stopped talking.

The carriage of the Yunqing Palace's mansion drove out of the prosperous area and slowly fell silent, and the carriage finally stopped at the gate of the Yunqing Palace.

Xiao Jue waited at the gate of Yunqing Wangfu for a long time, until he saw the carriage stop and placed the small lamp stool with the feet, and Xiao Jue helped Ji Tian to get out of the carriage.

Ji Tian'an handed over all the sugar gourds he had bought before to Xiao Jue: "Divide them." ”

Xiao Jue took it.

At night, after Ji Tian'an finished bathing, Xiao Jue waited for the change, and after the change was completed, she sat in front of the makeup, took off her face makeup, and washed her face with a newly made toothbrush, and she climbed into bed early.

Mama Xu lit the stove in the room with charcoal, and opened the window slightly, in order to ventilate and not be poisoned.

Because of running around all day, Ji Tian'an was already tired, so he closed his eyes early and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up, and when she touched her side, it was empty.

When she opened her eyes, there was nothing next to her where Lu Qingze's body should have been sleeping.

As soon as she called, the night watchman outside came into the room, lit a candle, and then the room was lit up, and after saluting, "What does the princess command?" ”

She sat up and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the princess, it's ugly."

The charcoal fire in the stove has been burned, and the maid has added new charcoal fire again.

When it's ugly? One or two o'clock? Where did Lu Qingze, this kid go?

She frowned slightly: "Where did the prince go?" Can it be in the house? ”

The maid shook her head: "Back to the princess, the prince is not in the mansion." ”

"Do you know where he's gone?" What are you running on such a cold day?

The maid shook her head again: "Back to the princess, the slave doesn't know." ”

Ji Tian'an waved his hand and slowly lay down, "That's it, retreat." ”

The maid retired, extinguished the candle, and the room became dark again, except for the stars in the stove that kept beating and were particularly dazzling.
