Chapter 44: Out of the Palace

When Fulin asked her to get into the Cui Gai Zhuying Eight Treasures car, Sizhen refused to live or die, after all, how can there be any reason to be in the same car with the emperor, this is the rule that the queen does not sit in the same car with the emperor!

Although she has only been in the palace for a few months, she knows that some rewards seem to be honorable, but they may be fatal, but whenever she gets into the car with a shallow eyelid at this time, she will be pinched casually by others, and it is possible to lose her life because of this.

Fu Lin said that this car is not Longyu, but it is used by ordinary big families to travel for the convenience of him, and it is not good for the two of them to take a carriage each, so they have to bring more guards, and Wu Liangfu is waiting next to him.

In the end, he even put on the majesty of the emperor and ordered Sizhen to get into the car to bring him tea and water.

With the emperor's order, Sizhen is right to think about it, the emperor, it is also right to have two more people waiting in front of her, so she shrank in a corner of the carriage with bated breath, waiting for Fulin's tea and snacks.

Seeing Sizhen's cautious appearance, Fulin secretly laughed: This stupid girl is really easy to deceive.

Although he did not use the carriage and horses of the Son of Heaven for the convenience of travel, for the sake of comfort and safety, the carriage he rode in was the carriage of the prince when he was the prince in the past.

If you are familiar enough with court etiquette, just looking at the four fat and strong horses with bright coats, you will know that this carriage is not available to ordinary rich and noble people.

"The Son of Heaven drives six horses, the princes drive four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the Shuren one" This is the rule handed down by the ancestors, and the four-horse carriage is qualified to ride above the marquis.

Obviously, Ah Zhen's mind is more spent on the art of war.

“…… Shunzhen Gate was built in the early Ming Dynasty, formerly known as Kunning Gate, Jiajing 14 years (1535) because Kunning Gate moved to the middle of the north corridor after Kunning Palace, it was renamed 'Shun Zhen', meaning Shun and chastity. This is located at the northernmost end of the middle road of the inner court, and when you go out of this gate, you will find the Shenwu Gate outside. Because Shunning Gate is an important passage from the north into the inner court, so it is not allowed to open for no reason, and Shunzhen Gate and Huangji Gate are called the crown of Liuli Gate......"

Under the instruction of Fu Lin, Wu Liangfu introduced Sizhen to the scenery along the way.

Hearing that Shunzhen Gate is the crown of the glazed door, Sizhen approached the carriage window and couldn't help but want to look out.

Seeing that she was eager to try, but never dared to look, Fu Lin couldn't help but laugh and said lightly: "Lift the curtain and take a look, when you entered the palace last year, you were still sick, and you didn't see anything, it's pitiful." ”

When Sizhen heard this, although there was no lack of ridicule in the emperor's tone, she didn't have to sit so sullenly, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look out.

Shunzhen door is with the wall glazed door three, each of which is installed with two solid couch doors, not only to see the glazed door of the brilliance, Sizhen even in the heart of the count of the door nails on each door.

"'Zhu Fei Golden Nails, nine vertical and horizontal', it is really ninety-nine eighty-one!"

Hearing Sizhen's exclamation, Fulin knew that she was really bored in the palace.

He glanced at Wu Liangfu.

Wu Liangfu hurriedly smiled and said to Sizhen: "The doors in this palace are not all nine vertical and horizontal, and the Donghua Gate is eight in the nine roads, and there are only seventy-two. ”

"Why? It's not that nine is a yang number, it is the extreme of numbers, which can best reflect the dignity of the emperor, why is there only eight in Donghua Gate? Sizhen was no longer as uncomfortable as when she first got into the carriage, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Glancing at Fu Lin, Wu Liangfu's voice was lowered: "Donghua Gate is the door to the coffin, also called the 'ghost door', and you can't use the yang number, so the door nail is reduced to the yin number." ”

This topic is not suitable for further discussion, Sizhen said "oh" and stopped asking.

Although Fu Lin didn't say a word like when she first got into the car, she still just shrunk stiffly, and her long eyelashes hung down as she spoke, trembling like butterfly wings.

He deliberately lowered his voice more gently: "Ah Zhen, I'm not a tiger, why do you keep your head down?" ”

Sizhen was originally a bold person, and she kept her head down just because of the rules, and when she heard Fu Lin say this, she raised her head and smiled slyly: "Didn't Brother Jiu say that your identity can't be exposed outside?" ”

What the Queen Mother said, she whispered to the nurse Mama Qin last night, Mama Qin thought about it for a long time, and suggested that she should not keep thinking about what the Queen Mother said, she and the emperor should get along how they want, so as not to avoid it in a word, but attract the attention of the emperor.

Therefore, after Sizhen made up her mind, she took out her previous experience of disguising herself as a man, and made up her mind that she was going out to play with her brother, but it was not so cramped.

Seeing that Sizhen didn't ask and answered, looking up at his little face, his eyes were like black jade, Fu Lin couldn't help laughing: "Do you remember this, you don't want to call me brother in the palace, and you are willing to go out of the palace?" ”

"In the palace, you are the emperor!" Sizhen muttered.

Fu Lin was silent, and he couldn't figure out whether he wanted Sizhen to call him brother or emperor, but the girl's soft and sweet voice always sounded very pleasant, and after a while, he said to Sizhen: "Recite a poem to me." ”

Sizhen was stunned, I don't know what play Fulin sings, but the emperor likes the culture of the Han people, and he has discussed the poems of his predecessors with her in the past, so I'm afraid that I feel bored in the car at this time, so let her memorize it.

After thinking about it for a while, Si Zhenlang recited: "The gold shop shines in spring, and the jade rhythm moves the years." Zhu Lou is like a cover, and the osmanthus snow is like a flower. The waterfront steps turn, and the wind strips out of the willow slope. Light public opinion is too liquid, and Zhan Lu drinks the glow. ”

Her voice is good, reciting the verses, the tone is abrupt, quite like the early spring artistic conception of the wandering warbler full of trees and the grass embankment described in the poem, listening to it as clear and tactful as music.

Fu Lin was not familiar with this poem, and after recalling it for a while, he asked Sizhen: "Whose poem is this?" ”

"The Tang Dynasty Jiangguo Gong Chen Shuda's "Early Spring Guilin Palace Edict" is a kind of response poem composed by the Tang Dynasty minister Shangguanyi. Shangguan style poetry was extremely popular in the court poetry of the early Tang Dynasty, with a sense of delicate and soft charm, unlike the general poems that should be made and rigid, blindly piled up with gorgeous rhetoric. Does Brother Jiu feel that this poem is very expressive? ”

It's not the first time that Fu Lin has asked about this, Si Zhen talked eloquently, and even asked Fu Lin rhetorically.

Fu Lin nodded: "The title of this poem is "The Edict of the Guilin Palace in Early Spring"? Do you think of Guilin? ”

Sizhen secretly marveled at Fu Lin's keen observation, and bowed his head and responded: "Well, I have thought about it, Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the four seasons are evergreen, unlike the capital, in winter, everywhere is white and gray." Worried that Fu Lin would misunderstand, she hurriedly raised her head and said, "It's not that the capital is bad, it's just that I miss Guilin a little!" ”

After saying that, she sighed faintly.

Fulin understands that Sizhen misses Guilin, obviously misses her home in Guilin, and misses her father, mother and brother.

He took Sizhen out to make her happy, and seeing that she was in a low mood at this time, he ordered a small table with magnets on the carriage: "Pour me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty." ”

After this distraction, Sizhen was busy and didn't mention Guilin again.

When Fu Lin finished drinking the cup of tea, he listened to Wu Liangfu's announcement: "Ninth Master, you have already left the Shenwu Gate." ”

Out of the Shenwu Gate, and then to the Shichahai area outside the Di'an Gate, you will see a long street running through the east and west.

After the carriage stopped, Wu Liangfu took the lead in jumping out of the car, opened the soft curtain, took Sizhen down first, and was about to stretch out his hand to Fu Lin, but Fu Lin waved his hand.

Wu Liangfu whispered to Sizhen: "The slave went and ordered those guards, and Young Master Lao Zhen gave the Ninth Young Master a hand." ”

Seeing this, Sizhen had no choice but to stretch out his hand.

Fu Lin lifted his robe and got up, stretched out his hand to Sizhen, and didn't use any force, just a fingertip squeezed her delicate shoulder, and jumped out of the carriage.

Several guards are dressed as small servants, Fu Lin wears a mink brocade robe with crow blue arrow sleeves, wears a brown and black fox fur warm hat, and a pair of Fushou green satin court boots on his feet, and Sizhen walks together, it seems that it is two sons and brothers with a housekeeper, and a few small guys are wandering around the street, but they are not eye-catching.

On both sides of the long street, there are many merchants doing business, there are shops, there are stalls, on both sides of the stalls, selling sugar gourds, kneading people, rouge gouache, copperware, porcelain, hairware, enamel ...... There are all kinds of food, clothing, and everything, and it looks dazzling and very lively.

Wu Liangfu staggered a step behind, pointed to the shops on both sides of the long street and said to Sizhen: "There is also an 'inner market' in front of Shenwu Gate, for the palace and dignitaries to purchase, but the market is open every Thursday every month, and it is not seen on weekdays. ”

He lowered his voice and said: "It's just that it's delicious and fun outside, but there are a lot of people, I'm afraid that it will collide with the two young masters, why don't you and the ninth young master go to the store next to it, like that 'Treasure Pavilion', there are a lot of good things in it, and the ninth master likes to sit there the most on weekdays." ”

Sizhen was about to nod, when he heard Fu Lin say to Wu Liangfu with a cold face: "Come out and play, you slave, don't spoil the fun of the masters." ”

Wu Liangfu nodded and bowed, and gave Sizhen a look.

After listening to Wu Liangfu's words just now, Sizhen certainly understood what he was worried about, and she said to Fu Lin with a smile: "Brother Jiu, people say that 'the son of a thousand golds can't sit down, and the son of a hundred gold doesn't rely on balance. "I'm already very happy that you take me out to play today, if you go back to the market, and when you go back to the market, your mother will know, and you will have to scold, so you should take pity on my poor brother, and take me to the Treasure Pavilion to see, so that I can know what Brother Jiu likes to buy." ”

Without waiting for Fu Lin to refuse, Sizhen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Jiu is afraid that his younger brother will enter there and spend your money?" ”

Fu Lin didn't know that she was stirring up the law, but when he saw that her little face was tilted, and her eyes as clear as moonlight looked at her, she couldn't say anything to refuse, so she sank her face and lifted her robe and said, "Let's go, see how much silver you can spend today." ”
