Chapter Seventy-One: Out of the Palace
The war in Dian Prefecture was reversed, and Han Rong was brave and resolute. Sweep all the way from the nearest state town to pacify the people. And the cavalry under his command was good at fighting, and within ten days he repelled and drove Annan out of Dian Prefecture.
Han Rong hurried to deal with the affairs of Dian Zhou at the end of March, and on the morning of the second day of the new year, the group returned to the capital in a mighty way.
After the victory in the war, the emperor's eyebrows were finally relaxed, he instructed Ruan Yuheng to do everything, and turned his eyes to ask: "Is Han Rong's daughter a show girl who entered the palace this year!" ”
Xiao Ping saw that he had a rare good face, and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, it is the Han nobleman who welcomes the palace!" ”
The emperor paused, picked up his pen in his sleeves, prepared the holy decree and handed it to Xiao Ping: "Spread my will, and from now on, I will crown Han Guiren as a concubine." ”
Xiao Ping hurriedly took the holy decree and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to pass on the Han nobles to sleep today?" ”
He suddenly interjected such a sentence, and the emperor's eyebrows frowned unconsciously, and then stretched out for a moment. Xiao Ping saw that he was in a different mood, and blamed himself for talking too much. After a while, the emperor cleared his throat: "Xiao Ping...... What is Luo Qingyun doing these days? ”
Xiao Ping was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the emperor to suddenly mention Luo Qingyun, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, Concubine Yun is in Xiahui Hall every day!" ”
The emperor looked at him sideways, blinked, and suddenly chuckled.
Xiao Ping was stunned, and also squeezed and laughed stiffly. Over the years, the emperor's mind has become more and more incomprehensible, and he can't understand what kind of feelings he has for this Luo Qingyun.
"You get out!"
Xiao Ping bowed and retreated, and the hall was quiet for a while. His posture remained unchanged, his white fingers gently caressed the jade pendant on his waist, the cold jade pendant became warm, he was silent for a while, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a touch of bitterness rose. In her eyes, Xiahui Palace is more comfortable than Qianqing Palace, and the harem concubines are competing for it, and she doesn't want it if he wants to give it to her.
The main streets of the capital are full of traffic, and red lanterns are hung next to the banners of merchants. Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, and the people in the court will take a three-day break to celebrate this day.
Luo Qingyun sat in the carriage and couldn't help but open the curtain and look over, while on the other side, Sun Yingxue couldn't wait to stick her head out, seeing everything was rare.
The carriage stopped next to the teahouse, and the palace man in civilian clothes parked the carriage on one side and gave the little guy two taels of silver, and the little guy hurriedly thanked him, and happily led the horse to feed the forage.
Sun Yingxue looked intently at the crowded street, and her eyes fell straight to one place: "Qingyun, Qingyun, I want to go and see that!" ”
Luo Qingyun looked at it, it was an old man who was pinching clay, and there were three or two children around him, and before she could react, Sun Yingxue had already run over. Luo Qingyun wanted to speak and stopped, turned his eyes to Song Zixun and said, "Let's go!" ”
Sun Yingxue bought a clay figurine and was playing with it in her hand, but when she saw the children staring at her enviously, she paused and asked, "What do you see me doing!" ”
One of the little girls, who looked like she was three or four years old, wore her hair in a small bun and dressed very plainly. She smiled shyly: "Sister, your clay figure is the most beautiful here, she is Chang'e, as beautiful as my sister!" ”
Sun Yingxue looked at the clay figure in her hand with a smirk, raised her hand to support it, and grinned: "Really? ”
"Hmm!" The other child nodded sincerely.
Sun Yingxue smiled and raised her eyebrows proudly: "You have vision!" She took another tael of silver from her waist and handed it to the old man: "Grandpa, count me in this, and pinch one more for each of them!" ”
She looked at the clay figure in her hand again, put a strand of hair behind her ear, and muttered softly, "I think I'm more beautiful than her!" After that, she raised her eyes and saw Luo Qingyun looking at her helplessly, and she was suddenly stunned: "Qingyun, I forgot to buy it for you!" ”
Luo Qingyun waved his hand: "It's okay!" Let's go! ”
The two of them walked down the street, like a landscape, and the men passing by couldn't help but look at it twice. They were curious about everything around them, but after a while, they still didn't find anything they could handle.
It was noon, and Sun Yingxue fanned her hand hotly: "I'm hungry, let's have some food!" ”
Luo Qingyun looked back at the group of palace people sweating profusely following, still holding all kinds of gadgets that the two of them bought, and nodded: "Okay!" ”
"I know the most famous Liyuan Zhai in the capital!" Sun Yingxue pointed not far away and said: "I have been to the capital with my father and mother before, and the one I ate at the same house, their crystal shrimp I will never forget!" ”
"Liyuan Zhai? Is it famous? "Luo Qingyun grew up in the capital and never heard of it. Song Zixun smiled in her ear: "You Luofu is really bad for you!" ”
Luo Qingyun nodded in approval and said in a low voice, "Have you eaten it?" ”
Song Zixun sneered twice: "Of course, no one in the capital knows, you see, even the white girl knows!" ”
"Oh!" She nodded stupidly, Sun Yingxue's eyes lit up when she mentioned eating, and she walked in front and took the initiative to lead the way. Song Zixun glanced at her, and said to Luo Qingyun speechlessly: "Tell her to come back, you have to go from here......"
In Liyuan Zhai, there are a total of three floors of attic, which is antique. The best view here is the three-story terrace, where you can have a panoramic view of the entire capital, and even the imperial palace looming in the distance.
Du Ruo and the palace people went to take care of it, and after a while, the shopkeeper personally came to greet and lead the way. Although I don't know what their identities are, they are generous enough to charter the terrace on the third floor, and they must be the daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing.
The breeze came slowly, Luo Qingyun stood in the attic and looked out, feeling comfortable. Song Zixun sat on the fence, looked down at the scene in front of him, and smiled: "I used to come here often!" ”
"Really?" Luo Qingyun whispered: "I haven't left Luo Mansion much!" ”
He paused, turned his eyes and asked, "Are you happy in the palace Biluo Mansion?" ”
She was stunned for a moment and nodded: "My wish is to leave Luofu, and I have the ability to do something for my mother now." ”
"But are you happy? If it is in the future...... The emperor has no intention of using you, will he do this to you? If you can't get out of the palace, you're trapped in there, isn't it a lifetime! ”
Luo Qingyun never seemed to have thought about this problem, she looked at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "The current life is what I expected. ”
Song Zixun straightened his expression and said with a smile: "The harem is not a good place!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Sun Yingxue excitedly calling: "Qingyun, come back soon, it's time to serve!" ”
Luo Qingyun looked back and smiled, then turned his eyes and looked at Song Zixun again: "I'm not talking about the harem, it's you!" ”
She turned back to the table in shame, Song Zixun was stunned, looked at her back, and secretly pursed her lips and smiled.
"My lord, my lord, this is not appropriate!"
"Get out of here!"
The voice came from the corner of the second floor, and in an instant, a burly man in a military uniform appeared on his head. glanced at their positions, glanced at the shopkeeper unceremoniously, and sneered: "It's just two hairy girls, do you know who the person who will come later?" Tell them to vacate the terrace for this military master! ”
"Master Jun, those two young ladies have already paid the silver taels, how can you tell me to open this mouth!" The shopkeeper bowed. His Liyuan Zhai is famous in the capital, and he has been in Beijing all these years, and he knows the reason that no one can provoke. As long as these lavish young ladies are seemingly extraordinary people, they may be the Jiangmen Marquis Mansion casually behind them.
"Humph!" The man snorted, disdainful of this little contempt, he walked up to Luo Qingyun, straightened the sword at his waist, and raised his eyebrows: "These two young ladies, our prince will come later, and please change places to eat, as for the silver taels you just paid, this military master will give you double!" He magnificently took out a silver ingot from his waist and placed it on the table.
