Chapter 121: Pajamas
Ling Xiao happily walked away with Shui Mu all the way, leaving Yan Qingge to ride the swaying carriage towards the hunting ground, and it was not until it was almost dark that he arrived at the place.
The paddock is huge, and there are quite a few people who have already arrived. After reading her invitation, the person who led the way took Yan Qingge to a place where there were not too many people.
The man was a young woman, and introduced with a smile: "This place is for the exclusive use of female dependents, and there will be people around to look at it, so that men are not allowed to trespass, and it is not noisy." ”
This person seemed to be afraid that Yan Qingge would be too careful, so he pointed to a prosperous place where the tents were rising in the distance, and said: "There are a few princes and men from the Hou Ye's family who live there, and there are too many men in the guards, and even a few young ladies from their families are all setting up tents alone here." ”
Yan Qingge smiled and nodded at him, "Thank you." ”
Ruyi was clever, took out the purse that had already put the silver money in it, and handed it to the person who led the way.
The man took the silver, pinched the weight, and said to Yan Qingge with a smile: "There is a special place for receiving water and leading horses here, and there is a tent dedicated to making a big kitchen, everyone is receiving food over there, if the people around the young lady are free, go around with me, so as not to blacken your eyes." ”
Yan Qingge patted Ruyi's arm: "You go." ”
A few of the people she brought were busy setting up tents, and Yan Qingge was sitting on a cage and waiting.
Not far away, the door of a tent was opened, and a girl came out, holding a maid's arm, and was smiling and saying something.
Not far from Yan Qingge, she stopped, frowned slightly and looked at Yan Qingge, and said, "Yo, who am I, it turned out to be the eldest lady of the Yan family!" ”
Yan Qingge had already recognized her, this girl was Yuan Qianqian.
She didn't want to make trouble, so she pretended not to see Yuan Qianqian, but she didn't expect Yuan Qianqian to let her go.
At this point, Yan Qingge could no longer pretend not to see her, and saluted lightly: "Hello Miss Yuan." ”
Yuan Qianqian snorted at Yan Qingge's nose instead of nose and eyes not eyes: "Why do you put everyone in this spring hunt, it's getting worse and worse year by year." After saying that, he walked away.
Yan Qingge was too lazy to bother with this kind of girl.
After a while, she set up her own tent and went into the house to rest.
The tent is made of thick felt, which is impermeable, and as long as a small brazier is lit inside, it will be warm like spring for a while. Yan Qingge leaned on the couch and lay down, falling asleep unconsciously.
When she awoke, the room was already lit with a lamp, and it was warmer than before, and she had a thin cashmere blanket on her body, and she slept with weak hands and feet, and her face was flushed.
If she woke up, she brought a basin of hot water with a smile, and said, "Miss, just now Yan Xiaowang and Miss Ling came to look for you, and when they saw that you were asleep, they left." ”
"Hmmm! It's dark now, and we don't know each other well, so I'll meet them again tomorrow. Yan Qingge slept softly, was too lazy to move around, washed with hot water, and after eating, he fell asleep again.
The next morning, before it was light, she got up. Because she didn't know whether she wanted to see a noble person or ride a horse today, she wasn't sure how to dress up, so she said to Ruyi: "Do you know where she lives with the person who led the way yesterday?" Bring some silver, go and find out, and ask her what I am doing today, and what I am wearing. ”
Ruyi smiled and nodded: "I'll go now." ”
After a while, Ruyi came back and said to Yan Qingge: "Today, I will ride a horse to hunt during the day, and the emperor will read a sacrificial poem in the morning." The woman said that it was better for the young lady to wear a more solemn riding dress, but the jewelry should be a little lighter. ”
Yan Qingge nodded, she received the invitation too late this time, and she has grown up fast in the past few years, so there is really no suitable riding clothes, so she can only go to the ready-to-wear store to buy a few riding clothes with good materials, and after coming back, she will disassemble them into pieces, and ask several embroiderers and subordinates to change the new pattern on it in batches according to Yan Qingge's meaning, and finally sew it together.
After she changed into a riding outfit, she followed the hairstyle that Ling Xiao had taught her before, tied her hair into two braids, put it on the top of her head and erected it with a gold ring, and wore a gold earring of the same color, hung a gold collar on her chest, and stepped on a pair of black long leather riding boots with gold patterns printed on them.
But the most eye-catching thing should be Yan Qingge's riding outfit.
Except for the tight and wide lantern arrow sleeves at the top, the style of the riding suit is quite ordinary, but the embroidery on it is very rare. This riding costume is off-white, and the bottom is embroidered with nearly silver-white embroidery thread and the pattern is similar to the seal as the base, if there are people who understand, you will find that the seal text is actually an ancient riding and hunting poem.
Yan Qingge walked out of the tent with Ruyi, led the horse, and slowly walked out.
Ruyi pointed to a tent not far away and said, "That's Miss Ling's tent." ”
Yan Qingge smiled: "Let's take a look." ”
Ling Xiao's maid Chun Ni was guarding the door, and when she saw Yan Qingge, she smiled and said, "It's Miss Yan who is here." Our young lady is talking about you. She's eating in the house, so please come in and have some to eat. ”
Yan Qingge had already eaten breakfast, she went in to take a look, and sure enough, she saw Ling Xiao sitting in front of the desk with her mouth pouted, and there were a few mammies with serious faces standing behind her.
Ling Xiao looked unhappy and said critically: "Why is this meal so unpalatable." The longan in the millet porridge was not cored, and it was cooked with a bitter taste. ”
The people who came to hunt all lived in tents, and basically didn't raise a fire to cook, they all brought food in the kitchen to eat, and Yan Qingge also drank this porridge in the morning, and there was nothing wrong with not eating it. Ling Xiao is not a squeamish person, they used to eat and live together, and they had never seen Ling Xiao so picky, it can be seen that Ling Xiao is playing on the topic and looking for thorns.
Yan Qingge opened his mouth and said, "Ling Xiao, what's wrong with this porridge?" ”
As soon as Ling Xiao looked at Yan Qingge, his face turned from sadness to joy, and he cheered: "Qingge, you're here!" ”
Yan Qingge sat beside her, stretched out his hand to Guiyan and said, "Give me a bowl of porridge, and I'll see if this porridge is bitter." ”
Ling Xiao's face turned red, and he pounced on Yan Qingge on the soft cushion on the ground, and laughed: "You will make fun of me!" ”
After Ling Xiao had eaten and walked out of the tent, the two rode forward together, and Ling Xiao whispered to her: "This time, my mother brought a few grandmothers, and they were very strict." Yesterday I rode with him first, and they rode behind them, and when they arrived, they gave me a hard beating. ”
"And what are you going to do?" Yan Qingge asked puzzled.
"I'm looking for a chance to teach those old things a lesson. My mom didn't care if I was in contact with him, they had some faces chirping crookedly. Ling Xiao wrinkled his nose and snorted.
Ling Xiao took a bite of "him", obviously regarded Shui Mu as a lover, no wonder those grandmothers couldn't get used to teaching her. Ling Xiao's mother specially selected those grandmothers, I am afraid that she also has this aspect in mind.
Yan Qingge was helpless, and said to Ling Xiao: "Okay, there are many people in this place, are you really going to make a reputation for being a harsh subordinate?" I also saw Yuan Qianqian yesterday, I guess Yuan Niannian must have come too, her mouth is big, and she knows where to tell you about it. ”
Ling Xiao listened, and snapped in the air: "Whoever dares to talk to me behind my back, I will whip her to death while hunting." Instead, she smiled and said, "I ran to see him yesterday, he is very close to the tent and the tent of King Yan's Mansion, I will show you the way." ”
After speaking, Ling Xiao couldn't help but say, patted the horse and ran forward. Yan Qingge had no choice but to follow behind her, and after a short time, she came to a place where there were many gorgeous tents.
The tents in this place are slightly taller than in other places, and the mere tent is a sign of the reverence of the people who live there.
Ling Xiao didn't recognize his life, opened the soft curtain of a tent and walked in, and shouted, "Little Lord Yan, we are here." ”
Yan Qingge followed Ling Xiao into the tent, but saw that the tent was empty, only a small servant picking up things.
When the little guy saw Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Two young ladies, our little prince called the prince away early in the morning, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast. ”
Ling Xiao said curiously: "The prince called him?" Why? ”
Yan Qingge pulled Ling Xiao and said, "He and the prince made an appointment to compete and hunt together, but don't we still have to listen to the holy sacrifice to the heavens in the morning?" Shouldn't the prince go? ”
Ling Xiao laughed and twisted Yan Qingge's cheeks: "Oh, it turns out that you called me out to listen to the emperor's sacrifice to heaven." The time for the sacrifice to heaven has long passed, and the place is full of ministers and men, and we women are not allowed to go at all. ”
Yan Qingge couldn't hide his disappointment, and asked the little guy: "Do you know where your little prince is going?" ”
The little servant replied respectfully, "It is towards the woodland to the east." They competed for three days, the first day in the woodland, the second in the meadow, and the third in the fishing. ”
Yan Qingge asked the little guy a few more words, and he answered them all, Yan Qingge saw that there was nothing to ask, so he asked the little guy to get up.
The little guy stood up, and a dark shirt he had in his arms fell to the ground. He confessed his sins, and in a panic he put away his clothes.
Yan Qingge glanced at it, and saw that although the clothes were made of fine brocade, they were a little white after washing, and the edges were even more hairy, and the hem was also connected with several wide sides.
She looked at the familiar clothes, sighed, and said to the little guy, "Bring this clothes to me to see." ”
The little guy made a bitter face, knelt down again, and kowtowed to Yan Qingge a few times: "It's not that the slave doesn't show it to Miss, it's our little prince's pajamas, it's really not good to show Miss." ”
Yan Qingge's face burned, and he took a sip: "What pajamas, you little prince is dressed and fed, how can such a tattered old dress be used as pajamas." ”
"How dare a minion lie to you. Our prince has been wearing this dress as pajamas for several years, and he can't sleep well without wearing this dress. The little guy replied.
When Yan Qingge replied, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this dress. Isn't this the dress that Yan Xiuyu lent her when she and Yan Xiuyu participated in the anti-flood poetry meeting a few years ago.
That dress was a new dress that she hadn't worn at the time, and after she returned it to Yan Xiuyu, Yan Xiuyu actually used it as pajamas for several years?
It's incredible.
Her face was getting redder and redder, and her burning ears, eyebrow bones, and even her fingertips were red and hot. Even the grinning Ling Xiao could see that something was wrong.
