047 Traveling with the Prince
"I don't know where His Highness is going to take Qingxi?"
Hearing that Wu Epidemic was going to take herself out, Qingxi hesitated a lot in her heart, she was not worried about what Wu Epidemic would do to her, she was afraid that her legs would not be angry, and she would cause unnecessary trouble after going out.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Fang Qingxi's eyes and did not escape Wu Qingxi's eyes, he could think of what Fang Qingxi was taking care of.
"Miss Fang Er, please rest assured, there will be no problem with the carriage and horses, and besides, there are rosaries by your side."
"Since this is the case, Qingxi is better to obey than to obey."
Under Wu Bao's arrangement, he and Fang Qingxi got into the royal carriage and went to the poor kiln in the east of the city, accompanied by dozens of guards, and everyone was much more relieved along the way.
Knowing that Wu Epidemic was coming to the poor kiln in the east of the city, Fang Qingxi was surprised and had nothing else to say. Although she didn't know what Wu Bao was going to do in that kind of place, how could she say more about her identity.
At this time, Wu Qi didn't know what Fang Qingxi was thinking, he was thinking in his heart how to let Fang Qingxi into his world.
As soon as the carriage left the city gate, the originally flat stone road immediately became uneven, and the carriage shook extremely violently.
The carriage drove for a while, and finally stopped at the poor man's kiln.
After getting off the carriage, Qingxi couldn't open her eyes because of the smell around her, and Wu Xi protected her with her sleeves and led her to a place with better air circulation.
"How? Is it better now? ”
"I'm fine."
Fang Qingxi opened his eyes, took a closer look at the surrounding scene, and couldn't help but ask:
"Does Your Highness come here often?"
"Three years ago, my father ordered me to pay a private visit to the capital, and the first place was here, and I will come here regularly after that. These poor people don't know who I am, and you have to keep it a secret for me, you know? ”
"Well, rest assured, Your Highness."
"Don't leave Your Highness now, Your Highness is shouting, just call me Wu Plague."
"Yes."
Just as Wu Xi and Fang Qingxi were chatting on the side, an old man in cloth came to them. When the old man saw Wu Epidemic, he became excited all of a sudden.
"It's Wu Gongzi here! Why don't you sit in the house when you come? ”
"Uncle Liu."
"This girl...... Wu Gongzi, why don't you come to tell the bad old man when you get married, the bride is so beautiful. ”
"Uncle Liu, she is not my daughter-in-law."
Uncle Liu's words made several people present very embarrassed, Wu Bao looked at Fang Qingxi, he was afraid that she would care too much, but Qingxi smiled.
Knowing that the girl in front of him was not Wu Bao's daughter-in-law, Uncle Liu was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Wu Bao would bring this girl to him, maybe it was the daughter-in-law who had not passed the door.
"Girl, I'm sorry! Old man, I'm old, don't take it to heart. ”
The old man looked at Fang Qingxi apologetically, and Fang Qingxi said with a smile:
"The old uncle has never seen me before, so it is inevitable that he will recognize the wrong person, how can he blame him as a junior?"
"Okay, okay, old man won't say anything. Old woman, Wu Gongzi and they are here, hurry up and cook a meal. ”
"Okay!"
Uncle Liu welcomed Wu Bao and Fang Qingxi into the house, and the rest of the guards and Tong Wanxin were delivering rice door to door, and the people in the poor kiln were all thinking about the good of this Wu Gongzi.
"Come, sit down, the room is too small, let's make do with it."
Uncle Liu knew that Wu Zhi would not dislike this Tupi house, but he was afraid that the girl accompanying him would not be used to it.
"Uncle Liu, your home is very warm."
When Fang Qingxi came in just now, he carefully looked at Uncle Liu's house, although it was not as big as an inner room in Rong Pavilion, it was also complete with objects.
"Yo! Look at what the girl said, what is the warmth of this earthen house. ”
Fang Qingxi's words made Uncle Liu feel very smooth, and even Granny Liu, who was busy in the kitchen, was very happy.
Seeing that Fang Qingxi had integrated into the relationship between Uncle Liu and Granny Liu so quickly, Wu Xian was quite surprised, he liked Fang Qingxi, but he didn't know that Fang Qingxi would have the kindness that other ladies lacked. She can talk freely to a poor person, let alone someone else? The crown princess wants a kindness and scheming. Stratagem can be cultivated, and kindness is mostly innate, and what Fang Qingxi has is exactly what he needs.
"Uncle Liu, the carriage contains the things that I brought with you and my mother-in-law, I'll go get it back, and I'll have a good chat with Qingxi here."
"Can you use me for help?"
Seeing that Wu Bao was going outside to get something, Qingxi thought that he was afraid that he would not be able to carry so much alone, although she didn't have much strength, it was still okay to take some small objects.
"No, just talk to Uncle Liu here."
Wu Bao thought about Qingxi's leg injury, how could he let her run around?
"Okay, then you should be careful."
After Wu Epidemic left, Qing Xi found that his legs were a little painful, and his eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, Qing Xi's expression seemed to Uncle Liu to be worried about Wu Epidemic outside, and when he thought that Wu Epidemic would soon be able to marry such a good girl, Uncle Liu was also happy in his heart.
"The girl and Wu Gongzi are very good friends?"
"Sort of."
Qingxi doesn't know what kind of relationship she has with Wu Epidemic now, he is the prince, she is an official woman, he is a king, she is a minister, how can there be friendship between monarchs and ministers? However, she couldn't say anything in front of Uncle Liu, and she still remembered Wu Bao's previous instructions.
"Girl, Wu Gongzi is a very good person, he is a great benefactor of the poor kiln, he will send fresh fruits and vegetables every three or five times, send rice and oil from door to door, and the whole country of Yi Ying is afraid that there will be no second person as good as him!"
"He's a good guy indeed."
Fang Qingxi responded to what Uncle Liu said, but he thought in his heart that Wu Bei, as the prince of the Eagle Kingdom, did his best for the people, but others didn't know his identity, so he was mistaken for a good person. However, he should be regarded as the best prince to the people in the royal family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a good person.
"But the girl knows where Wu Gongzi lives?"
"What is this asking for?"
As soon as he heard Uncle Liu ask about Wu Epidemic's residence, Qingxi felt a trace of vigilance in his heart.
"Wu Gongzi is so good to the big guy, the big guy wants to come to the door one day to thank him."
"Uncle Liu, his home is not something that ordinary people can go to, and even it is difficult for me to see him usually."
Qingxi is not good at speaking too clearly, and Uncle Liu only thinks that Wu Zhen is the son of a big official, and he does not think deeply.
"That's right, the old man won't go."
"Uncle Liu, where are you going?"
The first thing Wu Plague heard when he brought things into the house from outside was the last sentence that Uncle Liu said, seeing that he was talking happily with Qingxi, Wu Plague was also happy in his heart.
"Uncle Liu just said that he wanted to find a day to come to the door to thank him, so I told him that the rules in your house are strict, and it is more difficult for ordinary people to see you than to ascend to the sky."
Fang Qingxi relayed the conversation between Uncle Liu and her Fang Cai more tactfully, and Wu Qi immediately understood Fang Qingxi's intentions.
"Uncle Liu, my father is very strict in discipline on weekdays, I'm afraid I can't ...... it"
"Wu Gongzi, the old man you and the girl said understand."
Uncle Liu just wanted to visit out of gratitude, since Wu Epidemic had something embarrassing, he couldn't rely on others, and besides, it was not decent for him to go there as a poor person.
"Old man, the meal is ready, hurry up and greet the guests to the table!"
"Alas! Okay! ”
The table of meals prepared by Granny Liu could no longer be ordinary, Wu Bao originally thought that Fang Qingxi would not be used to eating the food here, but he didn't know that she would eat the leftovers when her life in Fangfu was the most difficult, and who would have thought that the second lady of Fangfu would be down. Seeing Fang Qingxi eating with relish on the side, Wu Plague had a little more affection for her, wouldn't such a well-informed woman not be the crown princess?
Coming out of the poor kiln, Wu Bao sent Qingxi back to Fangfu, and he was reluctant to leave when he saw Qingxi enter the mansion.
Qingxi returned to Rong Pavilion and was invited to Cuiweiju by Liuzhu before he had a meal. In today's third round of palace selection, Fang Zhiling was selected by Wei Zong and issued a summons three days later, which was undoubtedly a joy for Fang Fu. As soon as Fang Zhiling returned home, she was called by Fang Weizhong to talk for a while, and when she came out of Qingyan Residence, Fang Zhiling wanted to find Qingxi.
Under the guidance of Liuzhu, Fang Qingxi entered the inner and outer rooms. The charcoal fire in the room was burning, the aroma of sandalwood filled the whole room, Fang Zhiling was only wearing a pomegranate skirt and half leaning on the couch, and the beads in her hands squeaked.
"Eldest sister, you look for me."
After receiving the hand stove handed by Liuzhu, Qingxi sat on a small pestle with brocade weaving.
"Have you had dinner?"
"I just returned to Rong Pavilion, and I haven't had time to eat yet."
Knowing that Fang Qingxi hadn't eaten yet, Fang Zhiling hurriedly instructed Miao Qin beside her.
"Go and let the kitchenette make some light food and bring it here."
"Yes."
Miao Qin got the order, and happily went to the small kitchen with Wanxin, and only the two sisters were left in the room.
"I heard that Daddy said that you went to the poor kiln with the prince during the day?"
"Well, Your Highness is sympathetic to the people there, and I'll go and join in the fun."
"It's rare that Daddy will turn a blind eye, Qingxi, don't go out with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince next time, you know?"
Knowing that Qingxi went out with Wu Epidemic, Fang Zhiling was inevitably a little anxious. It was Wu Zhen before, and now it's Wu Epidemic again, she really doesn't know how to persuade her sister. Fang Weizhong's attitude was quite tough before, but now he put on a blank look. Thinking of the pavilion master's orders, Fang Zhiling's mind became even more confused.
"The eldest sister is worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have the same purpose as His Royal Highness King Cheng?"
"I don't know if their purpose is different, I just know that you are about to participate in the fourth round of palace elections in the palace, and you must not be talked about at this time."
"It's not that the eldest sister doesn't know, I ......"
"Qingxi, I know that neither King Cheng nor the prince can afford to offend, and it is difficult for you to be caught in the middle, but we have no way out in this matter, you have only one person, and you can't be divided into two halves, and besides, do you know which of them is sincere and which is false?"
“……”
Fang Qingxi didn't dare to think according to Fang Zhiling's words, her intuition told her that Wu Zhen was not the kind of hypocrite who worked hard, and although Wu Zhen was arrogant and domineering, he would not fall into the ground. But that was just her instinct, and it didn't mean anything.
"Eldest sister, I understand everything you said, don't worry, I'll pay attention next time."
"I'm relieved that you can think so, Gu Ling's girl was favored by His Majesty at a glance during today's palace election, and she didn't forget to deliberately sarcastically mock you in front of me when she left the palace gate, and I didn't argue with her for the sake of face. But Qingxi, you'd better be careful with Gu Ling, I don't know if she hates you very much from the bottom of her heart, or if she was instigated by anyone, in short, you must be careful after entering the palace. ”
"Eldest sister, when will the will of the palace come down?"
Gu Ling's kind of person is not to be afraid, no matter how bad she is in the palace, she still has Wu Man to support her, Gu Ling is no matter how arrogant she is, her rank is not as high as the eldest sister, why should she care? Since she didn't care, she didn't continue to talk about this matter.
Fang Zhiling looked at her sister's expression, thinking that she already knew it in her heart, and she didn't say anything more to her.
"In three days, the decree will come to the house."
"The position of the eldest sister ......"
"According to the ancestral system, it should be a third-grade concubine, but I don't know if Your Majesty will say things according to the ancestral system."
As soon as Wei Zong Fang Zhiling was mentioned, unknown feelings appeared in her heart, and she was going to become the king's woman in three days, even if she was still the deputy envoy of the Xieyu Building, her body no longer belonged to herself. She didn't know what she would face after entering the palace, and she didn't know if Xianlian would come to see her for the last time, she only knew that she had become a winning move in the dangerous move of the pavilion master, and she had no way out.
