Chapter Fifty-Eight: Qingmei is intentional
As soon as Qiong An finished saying that she had Chen Yueran in her heart, I thought of Chen Yueran and Pol, and I only felt that the emotions were elusive, and Qiong An just teased me and Li Chongrui, and now I can't laugh. The more things in front of me, the more complicated they became, as if my mother had told me to help the lintel of the official gate, and it became a burden and exhaustion. Constantly involved in royal battles, constantly playing games with courtiers, I am living more and more of a Shangguan family, but I am no longer Shangguan Wan.
I sent Qiong'an back to the palace, on the way back to the palace, the vendors in the market came and went, the women in the song and dance workshop had exquisite makeup, looking forward to life, the restaurant was always full of guests, the shouts of the shopkeepers, and the shouts of the street vendors. I rarely changed into a woman's outfit and walked down the street without riding a horse. Joan rarely went out of the palace, holding my hand and asking questions.
Passing by the Agarwood Building, I took her in, such as the song saw that I took the living, so I didn't do warm, just politely introduced me into the private room on the second floor, the opposite Tingyue Building was gray, only a faint candlelight was revealed, and a few dishes were served, and there was the Chongshan Yuwan that I named with Chongrui.
Ruge said politely: "Lord Shangguan is a frequent customer, if there is a new dish in our Agarwood Building, we can let the guests name it as the name of this dish, I wonder if the girl next to me is interested?" ”
I looked at Qiong'an, Qiong'an was very curious, and remembered the name of the dish, so she joked to me with bad intentions: "Okay, it seems that the name of the dish is also unique, and this heavy mountain is beautiful and elegant." I'm curious, if there is a new dish, the shopkeeper will come up, and I can also borrow Wan'er's light and come up with a name. ”
Ruge smiled and retreated.
Qiong An looked at me with her head propped up in her hands: "It seems that the day I called your second sister-in-law is about to be put on the agenda, and the second brother treats you really well." ”
My cheeks were a little red, and my hands unconsciously touched my cheeks: "This matter hasn't been brushed up yet, besides... I am the granddaughter of a criminal minister, how can I try to marry into the royal family, just say this in front of me, and don't leak this matter to others after returning to the palace, so as not to cause trouble. After all, Your Majesty is thoughtful, and cranky thinking will bring a lot of trouble to Chongrui. ”
Joan nodded, the dishes were ready, but I suddenly looked out the window, Pol's window opened, she held her head and looked at the scenery outside the window, after seeing me, she smiled at me, I nodded. Qiong An also followed my gaze to look out the window, and knew that Yue Ran was listening to what happened in Yuelou.
So he asked me: "Brother Yueran, is there to listen to what happened in Yuelou, the dancing girl opposite is handsome, not much like us Central Plains people, and there seems to be a hook in her eyes that will hook people." I only heard that Brother Yueran replaced a man named Pol, so is Pol as good-looking as her? ”
I paused and put the dish in her bowl to bring the conversation to life.
Qiong Ansheng's lips are red and her teeth are white, she is as gorgeous and good-looking as His Majesty, compared to her two sisters, her appearance is most similar to Your Majesty, and she is also the most favored by Your Majesty. The two princesses, Yun'an and He'an, got married early, and only Qiong'an was left by His Majesty's side, so he naturally doted on her in every way. I looked at her sparkling eyes, like a pool of quiet and pure water, it is not easy to be born in the royal family to maintain a pure heart.
Ruge sent a new dish, the lotus leaves are wrapped in glutinous rice and roast duck, and there are all kinds of seasonal vegetables in the belly of the duck, Ruge said softly: "Two girls, this is our Agarwood Building, the latest new dish, and ask the girl to give a name, and tomorrow will hang out to solicit guests." ”
Qiong An cast an inquiring glance at me, and I had to smile and say: "Don't look at me, the shopkeeper is to let you give your name, the book that the master has taught you over the years, don't read it elsewhere, now you can take it out and show it." ”
Qiong An shrugged her shoulders, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and tasted it for a while: "It's called leaning on the threshold wind and swinging the handle incense, okay." The dishes incorporate many different local specialties and are considered to be excellent. ”
Ruge nodded and went out.
The sweet stuffed rice wine sent up, the taste is sweet, the taste is not intoxicating, she drank several cups, her cheeks were dyed red, and pulled me to ask questions, but Chen Yueran had been wronged, and repeatedly asked me not to bully Chen Yueran. When I saw her talking nonsense, I gave up the idea of sending her back to the palace tonight, and asked Ruge to prepare a carriage for me and return to my mansion.
The breeze was cool, the wind gently blew ripples in the pond of my mansion, I helped Qiong'an, Qiong'an seemed to be awakened by the wind, rubbed her cheeks, and saw that she was not in the palace, but asked me in surprise: "Wan'er, have you dismissed the idea of sending me back to the palace?" ”
I sent my maidservant to the kitchen to prepare sobering tea, and then scratched Qiong'an's nose: "You don't want to dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival, today you are drunk and drunk, if you are sent back to the palace, Your Majesty will see your rogue appearance, I see that you can't eat and go around, stay in my house tonight, and I will send you back to the palace early tomorrow morning." ”
She pouted and went to the gazebo, and I followed.
She didn't like usual, and said softly: "I finally begged the mother queen to come out, but it's just like seeing how Brother Yueran is, in the palace, the discipline grandmothers say that I have no rules every day, and the two sisters don't often enter the palace, and the mother doesn't let me go to my sister's mansion to play. When my father left, I had just been born, and my second brother used to tease me, saying that my father intended to marry me to Chen Fu as a daughter-in-law. Everyone thinks that Brother Yueran is the third in the Chen family, and he is the youngest son, so he is used to being lawless. But only I know that when he is not around, he will be fascinated by reading books and practicing martial arts, no worse than his two elder brothers. ”
I didn't know what to say, so I sat down, looked at her to myself, and handed her the decanting tea.
She took a few sips before continuing: "I don't have a deep relationship with my two sisters, I treat you as my sister, although the mother emperor tries to let me grow up comfortably and not be bound by the harem, but I have also heard some appalling rumors. Coupled with the previous events of Brother Alcohol King, he is in the royal family, and probably the scene of brother and brother Gong is a vain. After I have a memory, my mother is the emperor, but the master who taught me to read tells me historical records, and all generations of emperors are men. The two elder sisters, although they have married courtiers, I can see that they also have thoughts that they shouldn't have. Brother Yueran disguised himself, for the great cause of the second brother, the second brother disguised himself, for the world of the Li family, what about me Li Qiong'an, a dignified princess, but I have no autonomy over marriage, and the mother emperor will not marry me to a small country like Persia that has no use. Being in the royal family, that's it. ”
She paused and said, "But the most carefree years I spent with Brother Yueran, like a seed that took root and sprouted. ”
I knew that Yue Ran had a deep affection for Pol, and when I heard Qiong'an's heart, I didn't know how to persuade her for a while, so I had to gently stroke her back: "Don't think about it so much, Your Majesty really cares for you, what you don't want to do, she won't force you." ”
