King of the Qing Dynasty (2)
Chapter 316: King Qing (2)
The Eighth Prince changed the subject and asked, "Cousin, why didn't you recite a poem today?" ”
"When you princes and princesses are in the limelight, I'll join in the fun!"
Twelve laughed and said, "Starling, do you know that she didn't recite poems?" Shen Wan looked at him in surprise, and said in a low voice: "Everyone thinks that the plum blossom poem of my father was said by the eighth princess, but ...... Ah Wan, let me ask you, what did you say in the ear of the eighth princess at that time? ”
The eighth, ninth and tenth all looked at Shen Wan, Shen Wan glared at the twelve, and said, "I didn't say anything!" If you're a girl, why did you ask? ”
Twelve smiled and said: "According to my understanding of the eighth princess, she will not be the one who cares about this, but you - I remember that once in class, you specially asked the Taifu what poems your father had written." ”
Shen Wan was honest now, she didn't expect that the twelve princes were so thoughtful at a young age, and said with a smile: "I was just curious at the time, thinking that the emperors of all dynasties would have one or two poems that people would praise, so I asked, who knew that it would be used today?" ”
The tenth prince suddenly sighed: "The eighth princess is the same as me, she has no mother since she was a child, and I have twelve younger brothers to accompany me, and Concubine Hui treats me like a son, but the eighth princess is at the queen's place, and she is careful everywhere, and her father doesn't care about her very much." Awan, you've done a great deed today! ”
There was obviously some dissatisfaction with the emperor and the queen in his words, and Shen Wan hurriedly smiled: "Oh, what are you doing here, in fact, I also want to be in the limelight!" It's just that so many people are there, I'm just embarrassed. ”
Twelve "sneered" and said, "Are you still embarrassed?" ”
Shen Wan pouted: "Of course I'll be embarrassed." ”
Seeing that the way she pouted, it was very cute, quite different from her usual appearance, and for some reason, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, as if the air around him had condensed, making him unable to breathe.
Fortunately, the ten princes began to make fun of how thick Ah Wan's skin was, and no one noticed the changes in the twelve princes.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Wan seemed a little unrefreshed because she had been visiting relatives, so she did not follow her mother into the palace. I thought I could take a good rest during the day, and maybe I could sneak out at night to see the lanterns or something. Today is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and Yao is carnivaling all night in the West Market!
In the afternoon, Shen Wan was still resting, but she heard Xiao Xue report that a guest had visited, and just as she was strange, she saw those familiar figures pacing over from the courtyard of Princess Linchuan. Shen Wan panicked and hurriedly asked Xiaoxue and Shuang'er to help change their clothes, and only after packing up did they go outside to greet them.
"Why are you here?" Shen Wan stared at the monkeys in front of her in surprise.
The Twelfth Prince smiled and said, "I heard that you are not feeling well, so I came to see you." ”
Shen Wan looked at him suspiciously and said, "Is it so simple to just come to see me?" ”
The eighth prince was the most honest, and said with a red face: "Come and see you, and go to the West Market by the way." ”
Shen Wan immediately took a deep breath and asked, "Isn't there a banquet in the palace tonight?" ”
The twelve princes said: "Tonight's banquet for the ministers, we don't need to participate in a few princes who have not been crowned kings." ”
Shen Wan smiled: "You guys came to see me fake, it's true that you want to go to the West Market to play, right?" ”
The Ten Princes muttered: "There is a light market in the West Market tonight, and you have to carnival all night, don't say you don't want to go." ”
Shen Wan smiled: "Who said I didn't want to go, but it's too early." ”
Everyone laughed, and it seemed that they knew each other well!
In the evening, several people went around from the courtyard of Princess Linchuan to the outside of the mansion, and they did not alarm Princess Linchuan, so as not to get trouble.
A few people arrived in the West Market, the West Market was really crowded, Shen Wan was afraid of being scattered by the crowd, so she firmly grabbed the hand of the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince's face was flushed, the Tenth Prince and the Ninth Prince looked amused, but the Twelfth Prince did not say much. But Shen Wan didn't notice it.
A few people had not eaten dinner yet, so they ate wontons on the wonton stalls on the road. The Ten Princes praised the deliciousness of the palace and ate three bowls in one go. Shen Wan looked funny, but when she saw that the Nine Emperors hadn't eaten anything, she said, "Brother Jiu, why don't you eat it?" "It is inconvenient for them to come out, so they are only referred to as brother and sister.
The Nine Emperors hesitated, and the Twelfth Prince said: "Brother Nine has always been in poor health, and he doesn't dare to eat more of these things, so let's go to the front to buy some snacks later." ”
Shen Wan smiled and nodded, talking about where the dim sum was delicious and clean.
When night came, there were more and more people in the West Market.
Just as they were about to buy snacks, Shen Wan was dispersed by the crowd. And the other four people were not in one place, the tenth prince and the eighth prince together, the ninth prince and the twelfth prince together, were all crowded by the crowd.
Shen Wan looked at the people who were a lot taller than herself on all sides, and her heart suddenly panicked, although she was wearing men's clothes, she could ...... So she immediately tiptoed and shouted: "Chu ......" As soon as the words came out, she was busy covering up, she couldn't call out the names of the princes at this time!
So she had to shout with grievances: "Cousin, cousin...... Where are you? ”
The Eighth Prince was also anxiously looking around, and the Eighth Prince was sweating profusely: "Cousin, Ah Wan......" The Twelfth Prince was also anxious, but he didn't run around, but asked when he met people: "Have you seen a little girl who is so tall and very delicate...... Isn't it, little boy? Didn't you? Is he beautiful, like a girl, or not? ”
Unconsciously, they didn't care about admiring the light market, they only cared about finding someone.
Ah Wan has already cried, this is bad, if these monkeys are gone, or they are hit by something, not to mention herself, I'm afraid even my father will be affected!
The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she cried out with a "wow", and the people around her stared at her curiously. She walked to the side of the road, sat down by a well, and began to cry intently.
She saw a snow-white handkerchief handed to her, and she took it without thinking about it, wiping her tears and snot. It is cool to the touch and has a faint fragrance. With such a texture, out of the palace, there is no other place to produce it.
She stood up abruptly and said in a complaining tone, "Where did you just go?" ”
But as soon as she asked, she was stunned, and it was not the Eighth Prince and others in front of her, but a strange handsome man.
The man was looking at her with a smile and said softly, "Little girl, are you separated from your family?" ”
What a beautiful man!
Shen Wan couldn't help but praise in her heart, then nodded, and said embarrassedly: "I got separated from my brothers......"
The man asked softly, "Do you remember where you got separated?" ”
Shen Wan shook her head awkwardly, and the man groaned for a while and said, "So, I'll send you home first, okay?" Maybe your brothers won't find you and will come home. ”
Shen Wan hesitated: Do they know about returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
