Chapter 82: Sending the carp to the door
In the carriage back to the palace, King Chengwu saw Song Ran pursing his lips and was silent, and couldn't help but guess that it was because he bumped into her and Xiao Yan that made her shy?
A smile flashed in his eyes, and he said leisurely: "This king rarely admires anyone, but Lord Xiao is a rare one. He was a high school champion at a young age, and his appearance was born upright, and the word amazing talent was placed on him, which was not exaggerated at all, such a person, partial and clean, and self-conscious, without the slightest anecdote. A person is flawless to this extent, and you say that it is not annoying to be angry. ”
After saying that, he glanced at her, but she didn't answer his words, and asked, "What is the impression of the prince when he sees Miss Li?" ”
King Chengwu cocked Erlang's legs and said sincerely: "It's good, it's not annoying." But that's about it. If the king asks you to ask, do you ask? ”
Song Ran told him Li Yuyu's answer truthfully, and he smiled after hearing it: "It's a well-behaved and boring answer." He added, "In every way, she is an impeccable princess, and since everyone wants to bring about this marriage, then they will fulfill their wishes." ”
Song Ran nodded lightly, as for the matter of Li Yuyu and Xiao Yan, she would be rotten in her heart and would not mention it to anyone.
When the carriage arrived at the intersection, the speed slowed down, Song Ran pushed the car door, and said to King Chengwu: "The folk girl got off here." ”
King Chengwu said: "What is so urgent, this king will send you to the door." ”
But she jumped out of the carriage and said with a smile: "No need, the dumb man is here to pick me up." King Chengwu looked through the car door and saw the young man in Xuanyi standing at the corner of the street not far away, so he waved his hand at her and let her go.
She saluted again and ran towards the mute. King Chengwu withdrew his gaze from the two backs, one tall and one short, and said lightly: "Let's go to Lingbei camp." ”
The attendant who drove the car asked, "Lord, are you not going back to the palace?" ”
"When I go back at this time, the mother concubine should ask questions again, and this king really doesn't know how to deal with it, so he can only hide."
He only lived in Beijing for three months, and he was tired of the life in Beijing, and remembered the comfortable days with Xu Yuan and them at the border, and he only felt like an arrow. However, now that the saint is lingering on the sickbed, if he picks this time to go back, he will wait to be poked in the back.
In the streets and alleys, Song Ran and the mute walked slowly side by side, the hustle and bustle had long been far away from the city, but the noise of the world still continued in the dark. In the house that passed, someone was angry with his mother-in-law, there was a child crying in the house next door, and a few more houses, there was a scholar who was reading at night, and his mother was lying on the bed......
These little joys and sorrows have converged into a huge human world.
Song Ran remembered everything that happened in the Li Mansion today, his heart was full of thoughts, thinking of the name Xiao Yan, his eyes were slightly hot, and a dumb and concerned voice came from his ears: "Are you okay?" ”
She put her hand lightly on her eyes and said, "It's okay." I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, but I met an old man. ”
The dumb gaze stopped at her, and when she saw her slowly put her hand down, she continued: "I was negligent for a while, and I forgot that Mrs. Li is now carrying the crown prince and the prince, and the prince also went to Mrs. Li's family banquet today. ”
The dumb man hesitated: "That old man, is it the prince?" ”
She shook her head, and her voice was very soft: "It's Xiao Yan." The book of the criminal department, Lord Xiao. ”
The dumb couldn't help but pause, thinking of her grievances with Xiao Yan, her brows slowly furrowed.
Her tone was calm: "Xiao Yan has never seen me, and when I see his reaction today, I shouldn't know my identity." It's just that I shouldn't pretend to be a distant relative of King Chengwu, once he and any of the crown princes become suspicious, find out my origins......" she said this, a smile of relief on her lips, "It should be me who is too worried, the identity of the prince and the secretary of the criminal department, I shouldn't be distracted to investigate an insignificant person." Even if I really want to investigate, at most I will find out that my identity as a distant relative of King Chengwu is fake. ”
There is King Chengwu in everything, what is she afraid of.
The identity of "Song Ran", even Shen Hanxi can only be found on the household registration layer, no matter how big Xiao Yan's ability is, he will not find out that she has anything to do with the Mo family.
Even though she said this, there was still a cloud of sorrow in her eyes, and she was dumb and didn't know what to say, so she stretched out her hand and pressed it on the top of her head. She smiled at him and said, "Don't worry about me. ”
Two days later, King Chengwu really sent two koi fish over, Song Ran opened the door, looked at the man holding the porcelain jar, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping. The two fish, big and fat, were crammed into a porcelain jar, and with a random swing of their tails, they splashed his face all over the water.
He said, "Hurry up, this king's clothes are getting soaked." ”
Song Ran hurriedly asked the dumb man to take the porcelain jar, found another large jar, and put the fish in. Liuniang lay in front of the vat, and couldn't help but sigh: "These two koi fish are so fat." ”
King Chengwu sat at the stone table with a grin, and took the handkerchief handed by Song Ran to wipe his face.
She looked at him: "The folk girl just said casually, did you really send two fish?" ”
He raised his eyebrows and said as if he was invited: "I specially picked the two biggest and fattest, let's just say that this king is not interesting enough." ”
Song Ran had to say: "It's really interesting." Why don't I ask Uncle Zhong to stew these two fish and serve you wine? ”
His eyes swept over: "You dare." ”
Song Ran smiled: "Thank you to the princess, these two koi girls must be good to raise." ”
King Chengwu glanced at the courtyard for a moment, pointed to a clearing, and said, "Just dig a pond here and build a circle with pebbles, this fish is precious in this king's mansion, and you have to live and serve well." ”
"Okay, tomorrow I'll let Hang Da Hang Er come over and dig a pit. What are you doing today? ”
He raised his eyebrows, and said with peace of mind: "Isn't this king greedy for Uncle Zhong's craftsmanship, there is no food in the camp in Lingbei at all, and the food in this king's mouth is about to fade out." ”
He, the prince, set an example, and has been eating and living with the soldiers in the camp, and the imperial court has reduced military spending year after year, and the food in the army is naturally not much better.
After hearing this, Uncle Zhong said: "What the prince wants to eat, the old slave will go and prepare." ”
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat steamed carp!" ”
Song Ran rolled up his sleeves and went to catch the fish in the big tank, and heard him say loudly behind him: "Don't use these two items brought by this king!" ”
When King Chengwu saw this, he immediately rushed over, and he didn't know whether she was intentional or accidental, but he saw the fish flutter and break free from her hand, making a very high splash. So, the handsome prince, who had just wiped his face clean, was splashed again, and his mouth was full of water foam with a fishy smell.
He frowned and spat out the water in his mouth, and heard the women next to him laughing.
Liu Niang couldn't help laughing, but she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the prince like Song Ran, so she covered her mouth with her hand in time.
King Chengwu lost face and was about to open his mouth to teach Song Ran a lesson, but he heard a cold voice behind him: "It seems that this official is unlucky." ”
When Song Ran turned around, she still had an unending smile on her face, and her clothes and hair were also splashed with water, shining in the sun.
Shen Hanxi stood not far away, looking at her and King Chengwu, his expression was a little cold. Song Ran bumped into his eyes and shivered. When King Chengwu entered the door, he forgot to close the door, so he pushed the door directly and came in, but he didn't expect to see such a scene.
Song Ran pretended to be calm and said, "My lord, you are here." ”
He walked over leisurely, his eyes fell on her face, a little pressing: "Miss Song looks very happy." ”
King Chengwu narrowed his eyes: "Lord Shen? He glanced at the woman beside him again, and asked her with his eyes: "You still have a relationship with Shen Hanxi?" ”
Song Ran pretended not to understand his eyes, and he didn't know how to parry these two masters for a while.
Speaking of which, since the willow shooting competition in the Tiger Camp, they have not had any personal relationship, and if their relationship is to be said, it should be that they look down on each other. The eyes of the two were frozen in mid-air, like a handover of short soldiers, Song Ran was afraid that he would injure himself by mistake, so he silently took a step back. It was Uncle Zhong who opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "The prince's clothes are wet, let's go inside and change clothes." ”
King Chengwu restrained the murderous aura in his eyes, went to the room with the dumb man to change clothes, and couldn't help but ask the dumb man: "What does this master of the Ting Wei Division mean?" Do you really have a crush on your girl? ”
The dumb man sighed and said, "Maybe." ”
King Chengwu's voice raised a tone: "Xu Yuan can entrust your girl to this king, if your girl has any difficulties, tell this king, and this king will make decisions for her." There is a saying in Ling'an City, 'Marrying someone does not marry Jinyilang', hasn't she heard of it? Besides, Shen Hanxi is not young, if a man of his age is normal, he should always have three wives and four concubines, but this king heard that he is still beating singles, what does this mean? ”
The dumb man said, "What's the problem?" ”
He said with a straight face while changing his clothes: "It means that he is sick!" ”
The dumb couldn't help but be silent, Lord Wang, you are not young anymore, haven't you only recently discussed marriage.
King Chengwu put on his robe, tied his belt, and asked quietly: "Don't you think that Miss Song is better than following this king?" Seeing the mute expression, he knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and raised his eyebrows and added, "This king has taken Miss Song as a confidant and has not coveted her beauty. It means that she can go to the palace and take on any position at will. By the way, doesn't she open a warehouse at home, she can go to the palace's account office to be a manager, and when she has someone she likes, she will marry out of the palace, and the king will guarantee that she will marry beautifully. ”
His abacus got better and better, but he was splashed with cold water by the dumb man: "The prince's kindness was received for Miss Song, but she should have her own choice, and please don't interfere." ”
King Chengwu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again, what he meant by this was to imply that Song Ran had something to do with this outside. So what's going on with her and Xiao Yan in the Li Mansion?
