On the second day, Jiang Yichen had breakfast and entered the palace early, Cheng Qingyue had nothing to do, took a medical book, and looked at it at will.

After reading for half an hour, she felt that her eyes were a little sour, so she put down the book in her hand, rubbed her eyebrows, and after the sourness eased, she simply lay down by the window and enjoyed the spring color, the spring sun just sprinkled on her cheeks, and her skin was soft and smooth.

When she was in Cangzhou Palace, Jiang Yichen knew that she had always liked begonias, so she planted a begonia tree in Lingshuang Courtyard. As soon as she arrived at the palace yesterday, she found that her residence was also called Lingshuang Courtyard, and she was even more surprised that there was also a begonia tree in the courtyard.

At this time, it is the flowering period of begonias in March, a tree of begonias blooms vigorously, a piece of ice posture jade bone, it is very good-looking, a magpie stands on the branch, chirping non-stop like the scene, a good scene of Shaoguang and lady.

"Miss, you're tired, this is the chrysanthemum tea I made for you, which can eliminate eye fatigue and refresh your eyes." At this time, Xuan'er came over and said with a smile.

Shen Qingyue smiled gently at her, took the chrysanthemum tea, took a sip, and the fragrance of the chrysanthemum immediately entered her heart, and her heart seemed to be much brighter.

"Miss, I heard my grandmother say, the capital is lively, there are all kinds of strange things in the market, even things can be bought in the Western Regions, the weather is very good today, why don't I go out with my sister?" Xuan'er said expectantly.

Shen Qingyue pursed her lips and chuckled, sure enough, she was still a child, "Why, you feel bored so quickly?" ”

Xuan'er said embarrassedly: "It's not that Xuan'er is bored, the main thing is that Xuan'er has seen the prince enter the palace, and Miss has been reading books alone, so I am afraid that you will be bored, so I want to accompany Miss out for a walk."

Shen Qingyue pretended to be contemplative, and thought for a while before saying, "Okay, then let's go out for a walk today." ”

"Okay, okay!" When Qiao'er heard that she could go out, she couldn't help but cheer and trotted to prepare.

Cheng Qingyue looked at her back and couldn't help laughing.

On the street, Cheng Qingyue finally understood the meaning of the imperial capital. As the political, economic, cultural and trade center of the country, the prosperity here is really not comparable to the ordinary states and counties, there are many roadside teahouses and wine shops, and there are countless street vendors setting up stalls on the roadside to sell things, passing pedestrians and vehicles are bustling, shouting, bargaining, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages are endless, so lively.

Since leaving the house, Xuan'er's feet have not moved, she sees everything strangely, everything has to be touched and tried, a street is stunned that they have not reached the end of an hour, Cheng Qingyue followed her, angry and funny.

"Miss, come on, this rouge is so beautiful!" Xuan'er called her excitedly.

Cheng Qingyue stepped forward to take a look, and it turned out to be a box of peach blossom pollen rouge, which looked very exquisite.

The stall owner said enthusiastically: "The girl has good eyes, this is the goods of the Western Regions, you know the orchids of the Western Regions, they are all enchanting and beautiful, as long as you wipe this, they must be better than them, even many mothers in the palace use this." And this kind of goods, you can't buy it in ordinary places, it's very precious, let's have a box? ”

"How much?" Xuan'er asked cautiously.

The stall owner stretched out two fingers: "Twenty cents!"

"Ah, it's so expensive." Xuan'er rubbed the rouge box, hesitated for a moment, and put it down in disappointment, "I still don't want it." ”

"Boss, wrap it up." Cheng Qingyue said and took out twenty coins from her purse.

Xuan'er excused herself: "Miss, I don't want it, it's too expensive."

Cheng Qingyue handed her the wrapped rouge and said, "It's okay, this is given to you by my sister."

After listening to this, Xuan'er happily took the rouge and said, "Thank you, Miss!"

The two of them were about to leave after buying rouge, but they were suddenly stopped by a man with a full face: "Yo, when did there be such a handsome girl in the capital, why didn't Uncle Ben find out?" ”

The vendor selling rouge saw that he was a bully in the city, and quickly moved his stall.

Cheng Qingyue looked coldly at the treacherous and obscene man in front of him, ignored him, turned around and walked in the other direction, but was not surrounded by his men.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, play with the uncle?"

Although Xuan'er was very scared, for the sake of her master, she still had the courage to step forward and scold them: "What do you want to do?"

The lewd man smiled lewdly: "What are you doing? Uncle Ben has taken a fancy to your young lady, come back with me to be my eighth aunt, and keep your fragrant and spicy food. ”

"Hmph, my young lady is not unusual, you guys hurry up and get out of the way!" Xuan'er scolded as she tried to push the people away.

The lewd man saw that Cheng Qingyue ignored her, and was ready to use force: "Don't toast, don't eat and drink, come on, tie her back to me!"

When his subordinates heard the order, they came up to tie up Cheng Qingyue, but before they could touch Cheng Qingyue, they heard one of their subordinates crying: "My arm!" Then he rolled on the ground in pain.

When the others saw this, they were so frightened that they retreated.

The lewd man shouted, "What are you doing, hurry up and give it to me!"

When his men heard this, they rushed up again.

There are seven or eight people on the other side, if it were on weekdays, Cheng Qingyue would not take these rabble in his eyes at all, and they would have been looking for teeth all over the ground in the early days. But with Xuan'er here today, she has to deal with these thugs and protect Xuan'er, so she can only deal with them slowly.

These thugs also saw Cheng Qingyue's weakness and specifically attacked Xuan'er, who was so frightened that she shrunk her neck and hid behind her and screamed.

Taking advantage of Cheng Qingyue's defense, one of the thugs swung his fist and smashed it into Cheng Qingyue's face.

Seeing that he was about to be smashed, suddenly a pair of hands clenched his fist, it turned out to be a sven-looking son, and he shook the other party away with a force.

When the group of bullies saw that another helper had come, they didn't dare to be careless, and surrounded the three of them again.

With the help of Sven Gongzi, Cheng Qingyue was a lot easier, and after a while, the two of them knocked these bullies to the ground.

The bulli, who was the leader, covered his bleeding mouth and shouted: "Do you know who I am, dare to offend me, you are doomed to die, dare you report your name!"

"My son's surname is Cui Mingziqian, if you want to take revenge, just go to Cui's mansion." The son called Cui Ziqian was not afraid of his intimidation at all, and frankly reported his name.

"Master Huang is the son of Lord Cui Hao." One of the thugs reminded.

The bullie smacked him on the head, "You still need to say, let's go!" With that, everyone limped away.

After they left, Cui Ziqian said with concern: "The girl is frightened."

Cheng Qingyue said gratefully: "It's okay, Qingyue thanks Gongzi for his help."

Cui Ziqian asked: "It turned out to be Miss Qingyue, I saw that the girl looked at the face, did she just arrive in the capital?"

"Exactly."

Cui Ziqian said again: "The bully just now is called Huang Biao, he is a distant cousin of Chen Guifei in the current dynasty, and he has always relied on the power of the concubine to run rampant, this time he is eyeing the girl, the girl must be careful in everything in the future."

"Thank you Cui Gongzi for reminding me, I wrote it down."

Cui Ziqian said again: "The yellow label did not succeed this time, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not ask people to return, now it is nearly noon, here is very close to the best restaurant in the capital Liuxiangju, the girl came to the capital for the first time, it is better to take the girl to go again, if the yellow label returns, it is good to help, and secondly, please also ask the girl to taste the wine and food of the first floor of the world." Their food and wine are famous all over the country, and I can't eat them if I don't book a table in advance, but fortunately, I know the owner there well, and he will be able to make it convenient for me. ”

Hearing what he said, Cheng Qingyue felt a little hungry, for some reason, when she saw this humble son for the first time, she had an inexplicable good impression, and he helped her again just now, so without thinking too much, Cheng Qingyue agreed.

After arriving at Liuxiangju, the shopkeeper saw that it was Cui Gongzi, and quickly arranged for them to a window position on the second floor. Compared with the dull private room, it is much more comfortable here, you can see the Huaishui below, the position of standing by the river, it is in March at this time, the warm breeze is warm, the plum white and pink outside the window, the green willows are shady, the scenery is very good-looking.

Waiting for the wine and food to come up, Cheng Qingyue couldn't help but praise after tasting it: "It is worthy of being the first floor in the world, this wine and food can be described as good, with good color and flavor!"

Seeing that Cheng Qingyue was eating deliciously, Cui Ziqian was very happy, he watched Cheng Qingyue eat with a smile, and he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Looking at Cheng Qingyue carefully, she was a little stunned for a while.

Cheng Qingyue looked at him a little stunned and asked, "Why doesn't Gongzi Cui eat it?"

"Oh, when I saw Miss Qingyue just now, I suddenly remembered an old man, so I was a little shaken, and the girl was not surprised." Cui Ziqian apologized.

"I don't know who made Cui Gongzi so concerned?"

Cui Ziqian's heart was painful, and his mouth was a little bitter: "Her name is Shen Yingyue, she is my childhood sweetheart, and she is also my fiancée, but it's a pity that ......"

Cheng Qingyue already knew it: "I'm sorry, I've aroused the sadness of my son."

Cui Ziqian smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay, so many years have passed since the incident, and if you mention it again, it won't be as painful as it was back then."

Cheng Qingyue comforted him and said: "If Miss Shen has a spirit in the sky and knows that Cui Gongzi is so infatuated, she can also rest in peace."

"When I looked at the girl just now, I felt that the girl looked a little like her in a trance, so I was presumptuous again." Cui Ziqian apologized from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Qingyue comforted him: "It's okay, Cui Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it."

"Thank you for your understanding." Cui Ziqian thought for a while and said: "If the bully goes to trouble the girl again, ask the girl to send someone to Cui's mansion to report, and Ziqian will come to the rescue."

"Thank you Young Master Cui!"

After lunch, the two said goodbye and went home.

"Miss, that Cui Gongzi looks gentle and polite, he is really a good person." Xuan'er praised.

Cheng Qingyue smiled: "You little girl, everyone thinks it's good, everyone looks like a good person!"

Xuan'er said seriously: "No, only people who are good to Miss will think that Xuan'er is a good person." However, although Cui Gongzi is good, he is still a little worse than the prince. ”

Cheng Qingyue flicked her forehead: "You little girl, you know a lot." ”

Xuan'er stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, thought about it and said, "When the prince comes back, Xuan'er must report to the prince, beat him with that yellow label, and let him bully Miss!"

"No, the prince has a lot to do when he returns to Beijing this time, we must not disturb his mind for a little thing, remember?" Cheng Qingyue advised.

Xuan'er nodded obediently: "Got it, Miss."
