Chapter 31 It's easy to drive out of the palace with you, and the princess becomes a free and easy woman in seconds
The night is long, and the moon is in the sky.
A well-lit simple carriage galloped along the official road.
In the carriage, on the seating boards on the left and right, sat Princess Qingtian and Zheng Lingshao.
The driver is Su Zecai, his driving skills are not very good, maybe because of the speed, in such a flat street, he drove the carriage to sway left and right, fortunately, there are only a few people on the street at this moment, otherwise with Su Zecai's speed, there will be an accident!
Su Zecai shouted while driving: "Miss Qing, Miss Zheng, we have been out of Beijing for more than 50 miles, let's find a place to rest for the night, and then hurry at dawn tomorrow!" You're not tired, I'm a groom, but I'm tired! ”
He didn't mean to complain, but he was really tired, and he didn't stop for a moment along the way.
Princess Qingtian lifted the curtain, looked at Su Zecai and said with a smile: "Our master groom has worked hard all the way, just listen to Lord groom, Miss Qing, I am also tired, just find an inn and rest!" ”
Su Zecai was amnesty, smiled happily, and walked not far away, that is, stopped at the door of a store called "Xiaofu Inn".
The night is getting deeper, the lights are out and going to bed, and the "Little Fortune Inn" has been closed.
If you go to find other inns and shops, I'm afraid it's the same situation.
Princess Qingtian and Zheng Lingshao both got out of the carriage, and Su Zecai said to Princess Qingtian: "Miss Qing, the inn and shop are closed at this moment, otherwise, let's find a broken temple and spend one night, right?" ”
Princess Qingtian ignored Su Zecai, she didn't say a word, stretched out her five fingers and slammed the door of the store.
"Bang bang!"
Princess Qingtian patted the door of the store vigorously, as if she was afraid that others would not hear her.
Su Zecai and Zheng Lingshao glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
In the end, it is a sweet princess, who is so informal and arrogant in the palace, and outside the palace, she is even more unrestrained and arrogant.
After knocking for a while, no one opened the door of the store, Princess Qingtian was a little angry, and she pulled out the self-defense dagger tied to her waist in a fit of anger, and it seemed that she was going to break into the door.
Su Zecai is okay, Zheng Lingshao is in her eyes, anxious in her heart, how can the dignified princess of the dynasty act so absurdly and unreasonably?
Just as Zheng Lingshao was about to open her mouth to dissuade Princess Qingtian, the door of the store suddenly opened.
It was a shopkeeper who opened the door, and he yawned lazily, not even opening his eyelids.
When he slowly opened his eyes and looked at them, he was stunned, stunned, and his eyes were straight.
The three watches in the middle of the night, did they come to the door to rob?
He boldly asked, "Heroine, uncle, what are you ......?"
Princess Qingtian hurriedly put the dagger into the sheath, put her hands on the shoulders of the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Little second brother, don't be afraid, we are here to stay in the hotel!" ”
"Live...... Shop? The shopkeeper didn't seem to understand.
Princess Qingtian said again: "Yes, we are here to stay at the hotel!" ”
The shopkeeper stretched his face and said bitterly: "Woman, uncle, are you a little late?" The shop is closed and no longer greets customers. ”
"I said little second brother, if there is business coming to the door, do you still have to pick the hour? Less nonsense, hurry up and get us ready rooms, wine and food. After Princess Qingtian finished speaking, she withdrew her hands and took out a silver ingot with ten taels from her arms and stuffed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper stared at the silver in his hand with round eyes, he understood that he had met a rare distinguished guest, he didn't dare to slack off, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, woman, uncle, please sit inside, the little one will settle the carriage of the three first, and then come back to serve food and prepare room for the three in a while." ”
Without waiting for Princess Qingtian to reply, the shopkeeper had already stepped forward to pick up the reins and led the horse around the backyard.
Princess Qingtian, Su Zecai, and Zheng Lingshao walked into the store and sat down at a random table.
There are only four tables in the restaurant, each with four benches, and the conditions are very simple.
Looking upstairs, there are only seven or eight rooms next to each other.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back, smiled at Princess Qingtian who was looking around, and walked directly upstairs.
Wait a moment......
The shopkeeper led a thin shopkeeper in his fifties downstairs.
The thin shopkeeper saluted the three of them and said respectfully, "May I ask what the three of you want to eat?" The shop has good ......"
Princess Qingtian waved her hand and interrupted the thin shopkeeper's words: "A plate of braised beef, a roast goose, and a yellow stewed fish, can you get these hands on it?" ”
The thin shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Yes, there are all of them, the small shop can handle all the dishes that the woman said." ”
"That's good!" Princess Qingtian smiled with satisfaction, and turned her head towards Su Zecai and Zheng Lingshao, "Do you have any wine and food?" ”
Zheng Lingshao shook her head.
Su Zecai replied: "I don't have either." ”
Princess Qingtian waved her hand to the thin shopkeeper: "Just do as I say!" ”
"Yes, please wait a moment." The skinny shopkeeper responded and walked to the kitchen.
The shopkeeper said: "The little one went upstairs to prepare a guest room for the three of them." ”
"Wait!" Princess Sweet called him.
The shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and asked, "What else does the woman command?" ”
Princess Qingtian said: "Just one room." ”
Zheng Lingshao couldn't help but tremble slightly when she heard this.
The shopkeeper was about to speak, but Su Zecai had already widened his eyes and said, "Only one?" ”
"That's right, as long as one, you don't have a problem with your ears, and I don't say anything stupid." Princess Qingtian smiled mysteriously at Su Zecai, and then faced the shopkeeper, deliberately raised her voice and lengthened her voice, "Can't you see that the relationship between our two girls and this uncle is ......?"
The shopkeeper immediately understood, nodded and smiled: "The small ones understand, the small ones understand, one will be the other, and the small ones will be cleaned up." ”
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Su Zecai blushed, lowered his voice and said to Princess Qingtian: "Princess, what are you doing here?" ”
Princess Qingtian deliberately said, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Su Zecai's face sank: "Princess, don't be joking, have you forgotten about the prince?" Didn't you tell me on the way that the prince had woken up and had a strange disease of 'dementia', but we followed Miss Zheng out to find a savior, how could you be so nonsense? ”
"I'm messing around? Where am I messing around? ”
"Why do you only need one room?"
"That's it?"
"Or else?"
"Could it be that you forgot?"
"Forgot? What did I forget? ”
Princess Qingtian bluffed: "It seems that you really forgot, I called you a big man, but I want you to protect us." ”
Su Zecai cried with a sad face: "Is it necessary to protect like this?" ”
Princess Qingtian nodded: "Of course!" ”
Zheng Lingshao smiled bitterly.
Su Zecai's face was helpless.
"The dish is here!" The skinny shopkeeper came with a steaming meal.
"Three, the meals are all ready, you use them slowly!" The thin shopkeeper said as he laid out the meals on the table one by one.
Princess Qingtian waved her hand at the thin shopkeeper: "It's none of your business, go down!" ”
"Yes, yes, the three of them use it slowly, use it slowly, if the food is not enough, just instruct it, and the small one will not disturb the three of them for dinner." After the thin shopkeeper finished speaking, he bowed and retreated.
Princess Qingtian saw that the thin shopkeeper left, without saying a word, she ripped off a roast goose leg and sent it to her mouth, she ate it in a big gulp, and it was a mouthful of fish and a bite of braised beef, that gobbling up the appearance, without the dignified image of a lady.
Su Zecai and Zheng Lingshao looked at Princess Qingtian's eating appearance, and they were dumbfounded and motionless.
Is this really a sweet princess?
After a full meal, the three of them entered the guest room under the leadership of the shopkeeper.
Princess Qingtian motioned for Zheng Lingshao to sleep first, Zheng Lingshao nodded, and fell asleep on the bed as she said.
Su Zecai was summoned by her to sit down at the table.
She spoke: "Su Zecai, before going to bed, I have to tell you a few more words. ”
Su Zecai took over: "I know what you have to say, you just have to rest assured, you and Miss Zheng sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the table." ”
"That's natural." Princess Qingtian smiled and nodded, "I want to ask you, how did you tell Wei Xinran, who you like, and Liu Yueyin, who likes you, when you left the palace?" ”
Su Zecai frowned: "I told Wei Xinran, Liu Yueyin and the painting friends in the gallery that I lied to them that one of my distant cousins had passed away. ”
Princess Qingtian smiled evilly: "Actually, you don't have to say that, if you say it, it's in vain." ”
"Oh." Su Zecai was puzzled, "Why?" ”
"Because of me." Princess Qingtian pointed to her delicate little nose, "What is the relationship between you and me, I believe everyone knows, when I leave the palace and you disappear, the matter will be exposed, they will definitely suspect that you are out of the palace with me, and after you go back, you will have a good explanation." ”
Su Zecai smiled disappreciatively: "No!" ”
"Why?" Princess Qingtian was curious.
Su Zecai smiled proudly: "I can't write a book without a coincidence!" ”
"What a sentence is not a book!" Princess Qingtian couldn't help but admire, "You are very smart, I didn't misjudge you, and I didn't bring the wrong person." ”
Su Zecai said solemnly: "I hope that I can help you and the prince on this trip." ”
"You've helped." Princess Qingtian said, patted Su Zecai's shoulder, and walked to the side of the bed.
Su Zecai said suddenly: "If I have big difficulties in the future, I hope you can help me once!" ”
Princess Qingtian turned around when she heard this, and looked at Su Zecai a little strangely, although she was a little strange about Su Zecai's request, but she didn't think too much and hesitate, she nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
"Thank you!" Su Zecai smiled bitterly.
In fact, in his heart, he hoped that there would be no major difficulties in this life.
However, who can have no great difficulties in this life?
It is a big difficulty to recognize the mother and son of the mother and the mother!
