Chapter 403: Second Entry into Beijing
Ruyu also looked at the dense crowd at the gate of the city, and answered honestly, "It's a little difficult." ”
Bai Sui was curious, and asked, "Cousin, why are you so human?" Is it a war? ”
In the past half a year, I stayed in the Rui Wang's mansion, and I heard a lot of adults talk about the war, and I knew that there was a war outside.
Cheng Xi listened to the hundred-year-old's inquiry, looked at his excited expression, the corners of his eyes twitched, sure enough, it was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, thinking that it was a war to show such an expression, and explained for the hundred-year-old, "It's not a war, it's here to pick us up into the city, and your cousin is also in that crowd." ”
Bai Sui looked puzzled, "Why do so many people come to pick us up?" ”
Cheng Xi responded, "It's not here to pick us up, except for your cousin, most of them are here to pick up the princess, because the former prince is now the emperor, and the princess will be the queen in the future, and many people will come to pick up their queen." ”
Bai Sui was still full of questions, "It's good that the prince and uncle came to pick it up, why do so many people come to pick up the princess and aunt." ”
"Because many people are here to follow and please them, don't call Uncle Wang and Aunt Princess in the future."
"Why are you slapping on the back?"
Seeing that the hundred-year-old turned on the 100,000 why mode, Cheng Xi held his forehead and pointed to Ruyu on the side, "I don't know, your master is not next to you, ask your master to go." ”
Bai Sui turned his gaze to the lady in the mouth of his cousin on the side, "Brother Ruyu? ”
Ruyu had to accept 100,000 whys from the 100-year-old, racking her brains to answer all kinds of strange questions raised by the 100-year-old.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, and Bai Sui finally stopped asking his questions and looked forward with Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi sometimes thinks that the hundred-year-old must be deliberate, a child who is usually very smart, always asks those inexplicable questions, it seems that he wants to ask a question that adults can't answer without giving up, and it's really embarrassing for Ruyu, the master, and he can patiently answer for him, and he also answers them all in a good way.
Cheng Xi's carriage was at the back, no one called her, and she didn't plan to get off the carriage for the time being.
I don't know who opened the head first, the gate of the city was densely packed with kneeling people, shouting "Long live my emperor, long live the queen, long live, long live", Ruyu whispered inexplicably, "This queen bee ceremony has not been held yet, why did you call the queen?" ”
Cheng Xi can understand, and responded, "This is a thousand clothes, and the sycophants are not worn, everyone knows that this Princess Rui is the king of Rui, no, the new emperor has put people on the tip of his heart, for her but she has not accepted concubines for many years, Princess Rui is about to become the queen of the Great Zhou, this must be a sure thing, since this is the case, it must be necessary to pat yourself to her liking, and worship the queen first." ”
Ruyu muttered, "This is not in line with the etiquette." ”
Cheng Xi didn't answer, and said in his heart that Ruyu was still a young and simple scholar, who had not been baptized by society and officialdom, and only remembered the etiquette he had learned, but he didn't know how to be flexible, but such a person is more suitable for being a master, and his three views are correct enough, and he will definitely not lead the children astray.
The carriage stopped and did not enter the city for a long time, Cheng Xi and the others became more and more impatient when they sat in the carriage, and several people kept looking at the city gate in front.
was looking around, not wanting the carriage door to be pushed open directly, and then Cheng Xi saw that familiar face, it was actually Xu Sanlang, who climbed directly into their carriage.
Xu Sanlang, who suddenly appeared, made several people stunned slightly, but the hundred years old was the first to come back to his senses, and said excitedly, "Cousin, are you here to pick us up?" ”
Xu Saburo replied with a light smile, "Well, are you okay along the way?" ”
Cheng Xi pouted and responded, "What's good, we haven't had lunch yet, and we can't enter the city at the gate of the city." ”
Usually in front of outsiders, Cheng Xi is wise and calm, he is an adult, and only in front of Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi will become like a child, coquettish and willful.
Even after getting along with Cheng Xi for so long, Ruyu is still a little uncomfortable with Cheng Xi's personality change, obviously just now he was still an adult with an old god there, but in a blink of an eye, he became like a hundred years old, which made him really unaccustomed to looking at it.
Xu Sanlang had long been accustomed to his daughter-in-law being a squeamish bag in front of him, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to reassure, "Isn't this here to pick you up?" Let's not go with them, but enter the city through the north gate. ”
Cheng Xi looked at the city gate with some concern, and said, "That's it, isn't it?" ”
Xu Sanlang said, "Don't worry, I said hello to Ge Shu, they are going to welcome the queen and the crown princess into the palace, it's very troublesome, they can't control us, we don't have to enter the palace now, don't care about them." ”
Cheng Xi was really annoyed waiting at the door, so he nodded and responded, "Okay." ”
After Xu Sanlang greeted Ah Long, who was driving the car outside, a team of people turned their horses and went to the north of the city.
There were four people sitting in the carriage, it was more crowded, and it was slower, and when he left the south gate a little, Xu Saburo asked Ah Long outside to stop the carriage, and then said to Ruyu and Bai Sui in the carriage, "There are too many people to pull horses, so you go to the back carriage." ”
"Why didn't my cousin ......" Bai Sui looked at Xu Saburo's eyes looking at him, and the second half of the sentence "Go to the back carriage" didn't say it, and he held back, but there was a look of grievance on his face.
Ruyu said very interestingly, "Let's go, 100 years old, let's go to the back carriage, if your cousin and sister-in-law want to discuss." ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to discuss things, he was quite sensible at the age of 100, and obediently followed Ruyu to the carriage behind.
When the two of them went to the back, the carriage continued to move forward, Cheng Xi glanced at Xu Sanlang speechlessly, and said, "You are bullying children." ”
Xu Sanlang had a smile on his face, and when there were no outsiders, he went to Cheng Xi's side, hugged Cheng Xi into his arms, and said, "Isn't this missing you, I want to be close to you." ”
Cheng Xi heard Xu Sanlang's love words that became more and more slippery, and said sarcastically, "You are really, more and more shameless, shameless." ”
Xu Sanlang said with a smile, "I'm telling the truth, Xi'er, I really miss you." ”
Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and patted Xu Sanlang's hand away, and reprimanded in a low voice, "What about the carriage, what are you doing, don't move your hands and feet." ”
Xu Sanlang saw that Cheng Xi was really angry, so he hurriedly stopped, hugged Cheng Xi in a proper manner, and said, "Why did you walk for so long, but the road was not smooth?" ”
Cheng Xi said, "You don't want to think about it, we are all old and weak women and children, Yu'er's child is so young, can she walk fast." By the way, where are we going now? ”
Xu Sanlang said, "Enter the city." ”
Cheng Xi glared at Xu Sanlang, "I know about entering the city, I'm asking where we live in the city." ”
Xu Saburo said aggrievedly, "It's not easy to meet, and you don't be gentle with me, because I miss you so much, and I look forward to seeing you every day." ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang's handsome face and pretended to have an aggrieved expression, raised his head funny, kissed Xu Sanlang's face, and whispered, "I miss you too." ”
Xu Sanlang smiled with satisfaction, and said, "We lived in the Ruiwang Mansion where we lived in the capital last time, and King Rui and Ge Shu both lived in the palace, and the Ruiwang Mansion was empty, so let me live." ”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly, and said, "They don't want you to be the king of Rui, right?" ”
Sure enough, seeing Xu Sanlang nodded, Cheng Xi continued, "You promised them?" ”
Xu Sanlang said, "Of course not, I don't plan to be the king of Rui, just wait for you to go to Beijing, and then let's go back to Lihua Village together." ”
Speaking of going back to Lihua Village, Cheng Xi was excited and asked, "When will you leave?" ”
Xu Sanlang smiled lightly and reached out to pinch Cheng Xi's little face, and responded, "Speaking of going back to Lihua Village, I'm happier than seeing me, let's go to see the emperor in two days, and after greeting the emperor, let's go, but I'm a little worried, he won't agree." ”
Cheng Xi thought for a while and responded, "Then let's start with the princess, I haven't talked about going back to Lihua Village in front of the princess before, the princess should be in favor of us going back, let her persuade King Rui, it will definitely be done." ”
Xu Sanlang heard Cheng Xi's words, looked at her in surprise and said, "She actually approves?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and saw Xu Sanlang's slightly lost voice, "Is she worried that I will seize power again after all?" ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang's expression, and knew that Xu Sanlang still had some pimples in his heart, after all, he was his biological mother, but he was so eccentric.
Cheng Xi rarely took the initiative to hug Xu Sanlang's waist, nestled into his arms, and said, "She is actually for the good of everyone, the most ruthless emperor's family, if you really do this Rui Wang, maybe now Rui Wang and Ge Shu have no other ideas, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fear of you in the future, the princess is also worried, your own brother will come to that point, so the saddest thing, I am afraid that she is still her mother." ”
Xu Sanlang hugged Cheng Xi and didn't speak, Cheng Xi continued, "It's better that you don't want anything, just be an ordinary person in peace, so that Ge Shu will take care of you when he becomes the emperor, and the brotherly relationship will not be alienated because of the power struggle." ”
After listening to Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang finally opened his mouth, "I don't have so much ambition and revenge, I just hope to be with you, find a paradise, live a stable life, grow old with you, have children and grandchildren, and live a good life." ”
Cheng Xi tilted his head and looked at Xu Sanlang, "Why do I feel that this is a little familiar?" ”
Xu Sanlang chuckled and reached out to scratch Cheng Xi's nose, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm familiar, didn't you tell me these words?" ”
Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "I'll just say, why is your eloquence so good, it turns out that you are stealing my words." ”
