Cai Wei followed Zhao Yu's boat all the way north, and came to the vicinity of Gyeonggi within a dozen days.

Li Ruzhou's boat followed them all the time, almost neck-and-neck.

Cai Wei eats and sleeps every day, even if Zhao Yu comes to talk to her, she has no match and can't be interested.

is about to arrive in Gyeonggi, Zhao Yu is also busy, and he can't take care of Cai Wei, Cai Wei simply sits on the deck with a basket of walnuts to play.

Although the waiter's eyes were very disdainful, as if he was silently resisting Cai Wei wasting food, Cai Wei ignored them at all and went her own way.

On this day, the sun was fine, and the warm sun shone on the deck, shining warmly.

The chamberlain leaned on the side of the boat and took a nap, not wanting to see Cai Wei playing with walnuts there.

Cai Wei didn't call him either, and threw the walnuts in the basket into the river one by one.

On the other side, Li Ruzhou looked over expressionlessly, and the distance between the two boats was closer, but it was three feet away. I don't know if Cai Wei was too hard, or if the distance between the two boats was close, but accidentally a walnut was thrown on the opposite deck.

Cai Wei pouted angrily, looked at Li Ruzhou and blinked.

Li Ruzhou glanced at the walnut as if unintentionally, and only after a long time did he pretend to kick the walnut into the cabin inadvertently.

Cai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, squinted at the waiter who was sleeping soundly on the side of the boat, walked over with a basket of walnuts boredly, and tiptoed to the head of the waiter.

The chamberlain woke up and looked at his magnified face with a look of trepidation.

"Okay, the prince brought you to serve this girl, you slept soundly?" She was so frightened that she knelt on her knees and kept kowtowing.

"The girl spared her life, and the slave confessed."

"Hmph, this girl is in a good mood, so I don't care about you." Cai Wei pretended to be generous and gave the waiter a chance, "There will be a next time, don't blame this girl for telling your prince mercilessly!" ”

"Minion, thank you, girl!" The inner servant's head was dark and blue, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Cai Wei was in a good mood and carried the walnut basket into the cabin, and the waiter didn't dare to look at Cai Wei with that kind of ruined eyes anymore, so she honestly followed behind her and waited carefully.

Li Ruzhou entered the cabin and opened the walnut he picked up in his hand, and there was only a small note in it, which he carefully unfolded, and there were only a few hairpins on it, "Go home quickly, don't follow!" ”

He read it silently, lit a piece of white wax, put the note on the flame and lit it, and burned it.

Cai Wei was afraid of dragging the Li family down and entering Beijing alone, how could he rest assured?

Although he didn't say goodbye, he knew that his mother and eldest brother would definitely understand him after reading the letter he left.

Cai Wei is the only blood relative left by his aunt, and he will protect her even if he spends his life on the sword mountain and the sea of fire.

He stood in front of the window, looking out through a layer of light veil, the official ship on the opposite side was sailing steadily downwind, and he couldn't see what Cai Wei was doing in the cabin, but as long as he knew that Cai Wei was there, he was inexplicably at ease.

The next day, the ship stopped at a pier outside Kyoto.

Zhao Yu was busy for a few days and didn't bother to go up to see Cai Wei, and on this day, he finally showed up.

When Cai Wei saw him, except for the necessary salute, she still looked faint and ignored her. Zhao Yu didn't care, and took people to abandon the boat and board the sedan chair, all the way into the city.

Cai Wei had never seen this ancient capital, and she was a little excited when she sat in a sedan chair.

She secretly lifted the curtain and looked out, and in the distance, she only saw the tall city walls and the majestic imperial palace.

In the end, it is the capital, and it is really extraordinary.

She sighed to herself and followed Zhao Yu's men into the city.

It was exactly ten o'clock in the afternoon, and the royal street, which was spacious enough to carry six horse-drawn carriages in parallel, was full of pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, and traffic. There are two rows of shops on one street, and there are a variety of goods. Restaurants and shops, row upon row. There are even some small vendors in the corners, shouting loudly, beckoning passers-by.

The air is filled with all kinds of aromas, including the smell of fat powder for women, the tempting aroma of meals, and the aroma of wine brewed with sorghum rice.

At a glance, it is really dazzling and dizzying.

Cai Wei secretly looked out from the crack in the curtain at first, and when she was excited, she actually stuck her head out and looked carefully.

Later, I was so attracted by the various objects on the street that I forgot to retract my head. Slightly open the sandalwood mouth, round with a pair of apricot eyes, looking at it with great interest.

She was looking at things, but as everyone knows, others are also looking at her without blinking.

Zhao Yu rode a jet-black horse and followed her sedan chair, first watching the curtain float slightly, with a thin white soft wattle picking, and then, I saw a small head stretched out behind the curtain. Later, the head was completely exposed, and with the excited and curious look on his face, he was invisibly attracted and couldn't help but look at her.

Seeing this girl's excited look, Zhao Yu couldn't help but want to laugh, stepped forward, and suddenly raised his voice, "Hey, saliva is flowing out." ”

When the words fell, I saw Cai Wei subconsciously reach out and wipe her chin, but found that there was nothing on it, so she realized that she had been deceived, so angry that she raised a pair of willow eyebrows, opened a pair of apricot eyes, and glared at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was completely amused by her small appearance, riding on the horse, leaning back and laughing.

The chamberlain was frightened by his hearty laughter, God, can he, the master, laugh like this? He was a real eye-opener.

After Zhao Yu teased Cai Wei, he ordered the attendant beside him. The chamberlain stared and listened, and his face changed in surprise. At the end, Cai Wei saw that the waiter glanced at her a few times, and she didn't know what Zhao Yu asked him to do.

The chamberlain hurried away, and after a while, he came back with an oil-paper bag.

Zhao Yu took it and opened it, and saw that there were mung bean crisp, red bean paste, chestnut cake, rice cake, and all kinds of snacks.

He nodded at the chamberlain with satisfaction, then pulled out a piece of clean oiled paper, held it in his hand and folded it slowly.

Cai Wei didn't know what he was doing, and he was amazing. I saw that his fingers were snow-white and slender, dexterous and agile, and in a short time, the oiled paper changed and bloomed in his hand like a lotus.

He picked some from the hand of the waiter, put it in the lotus oil paper, and stretched it out in front of Cai Wei like a treasure, "Oh, this is the famous eight major ...... in Beijing."

Cai Wei glanced at him, wondering why was he so kind? But there are delicious foods, so she doesn't count so much.

She took a piece of chestnut cake and put it in her mouth, it melted in her mouth, sweet and glutinous, soft and fragrant, it was really the best dim sum she had ever eaten in her two lives.

After eating the chestnut cake, she couldn't wait to pinch a piece of mung bean cake and taste it, it was simply fragrant and fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless.

"I didn't expect the sweets in Kyochu to be so delicious!" Her little mouth was stuffed to the brim, and she made a sentence by the way.

Zhao Yu looked at her eating appearance with a smile, and felt cute and tight.

The ladies he has seen, when eating, there is no sound at all, and the elegance is unparalleled in the world. It's just that I've seen a lot, and it's really not interesting, one is like this, and two are like this, like carved out of a mold.

In addition, when eating, everyone can't speak, let alone let people see how their mouths are squirming.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Cai Wei being so informal, Zhao Yu watched it, and always felt very interesting.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, too much." As he spoke, he took the big bag in the waiter's hand.

When Cai Wei saw it, she couldn't help cheering. Although she is afraid of fat, she should be fine if she eats sweets once in a while, right?

She is very slim now, and if she eats it once, she will not gain weight immediately.

She comforted herself silently, and her mouth was not idle, tasting this, and tasting that, for a while, she was very happy to eat.

"When we were children, when we were greedy, we often secretly took money and asked the eunuch to go out of the palace to bring it to us. At that time, a few of our brothers hid from the master and grandma, and secretly ate in the corner after school, which was particularly fragrant. ”

Zhao Yu watched her eat, with a look of fascination, which was sweeter than eating herself.

Cai Wei hurriedly handed him a piece of mung bean cake, "It's delicious, you can eat a piece too." "Anyway, someone else bought it, and it's not good for her to eat alone.

Zhao Yu took it without thinking, and was about to stuff it into his mouth. The chamberlain next to him stepped forward to give him a taste.

Zhao Yu waved his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, so frightened that the waiter's face turned yellow: What is wrong with the prince? In the past, no matter what you ate, someone had to try it, so why didn't you ignore it this time?

This girl is really bold, she dares to give what she eats to the prince!

Cai Wei glanced at the frightened yellow face of the waiter, and finally understood what he was afraid of.

It turns out that the royal family and nobles are afraid that people will poison them to death.

But seeing Zhao Yu finish eating with a blank face, she didn't care.

Anyway, she's barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and she's at ease.

Zhao Yu licked his lips unsatisfied, and saw Cai Wei frowning, "Isn't the food in your palace the most delicious in the world?" Why do you still want to buy it secretly? ”

"The food in the palace is naturally not bad, but with the master and the eunuch and the grandmother around him, how can he eat as he wants? Before they could taste it, those people jumped out and made irresponsible remarks, and they lost their appetite for food. ”

Zhao Yu's eyes were empty, his mind returned to the past, and his face seemed to be happy and sad, making people unpredictable about his thoughts.

Cai Wei smashed her mouth and nodded sympathetically, "You guys are also pitiful, you can't eat enough, and you think that you princes and grandchildren can eat whatever you want." ”

"The princes and grandchildren are always helpless!" Zhao Yu didn't know why, he wanted to tell Cai Wei what was on his mind, "This king has been away from the capital for many years, and he can only come back once in three years, and he can see his mother again in three years. ”

"Sounds pathetic." Cai Wei swallowed a mouthful of red bean paste, pinched a piece of mung bean cake, nodded and agreed, but her heart was indescribably awkward, why did she still talk to this enemy who did not share the sky?

Is it because you're bored these days?

It's just that eating other people's mouths is short, she got such a delicious snack, listening to him talk, it's nothing, right?

However, after eating half a pack of dim sum, she realized what she found in the crowd moving forward, and she was suddenly startled, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yu, "Why don't you see Chen Yong and them?" ”

Zhao Yu looked at this girl who was eating happily a moment ago, but then she remembered this question for a while, and she didn't smile, "They have been traveling for days and are very tired, and this king has already found a good place for them to rest." ”

Cai Wei was shocked when she heard this, and she felt dazzling when she looked at the soft smile on his face, "You, you're not going to kill them, are you?" ”

Her cautious and frightened look pleased Zhao Yu, and he couldn't help laughing, "How can this king have that guts?" They are all court officials with official bodies, and the lowest is also seven grades, if this king attacks them, then Lu Laojiu will not be able to eat this king? ”

Cai Wei swallowed a heart that had jumped into her chest. Fortunately, as long as you don't kill Chen Yong and them, it's fine. When people live, there is still room for maneuver.

But in this way, Lu Ying didn't know that she came to the capital, let alone that she was controlled by King Cheng. What if he rushes back to Lijia Village after finishing his errand and can't find her?

Wouldn't it be delayed for months when they come and go?

By then, she may have no bones left. As soon as she thought that she and Lu Ying were going to live and die, she felt a panic in her heart.

thought that after Lu Ying returned to Beijing to settle the errand, she would propose to marry her, and the two of them would get married smoothly, and it would not be a trip in vain in this life. Who would have thought that in the end, there would be such a catastrophe!

Sighing, she resigned herself to closing the curtain, leaning on the bench, and eating less!

Zhao Yu did not immediately take her into the palace, but directly took her to Chengwang's Mansion to settle down.

That night, Zhao Yu held a banquet in the West Flower Hall and entertained Cai Wei.

The table was really sumptuous, with fifty or sixty kinds of dishes, and the large round table of rosewood was full.

She glanced at the big round table with several hugs, as well as the fifty or sixty kinds of hot and cold dishes that were not the same, and said to Zhao Yu sitting beside her with some worry, "This is too expensive, right?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled softly, "How come?" It is the king's honor to invite Miss Mu to dinner! ”

Cai Wei secretly thought to herself, why is this person suddenly so easy to speak? Don't be a Hongmen banquet, you didn't have the next meal after eating, right?

Her eyes turned around, she swallowed her saliva carefully, and her voice was as low as a gnat, "Lord Wang, no, you won't just eat this meal, right?" ”

Zhao Yu was stunned and didn't react. Looking at Cai Wei's bitter little face, he finally understood, and immediately couldn't help laughing again, "Haha, you girl, what are you thinking about?" How could this be the last meal? In the future, there will be food. ”

"Well, since it's not the Last Supper, then, this girl is welcome." Cai Wei unequivocally picked up the pair of silver chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised beef in front of her and ate it with relish.

Zhao Yu glanced at the waiter standing next to her, and the two waiters stood beside Cai Wei, and before Cai Wei could clip a chopstick, they sandwiched it in the small bowl in front of her for her.

Cai Wei swallowed the chicken leg in her mouth, and wondered, "Huh? How do you know I want to eat this? ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing again, "They are just serving people, and they don't even have this look, so don't mix in front of this king." ”

However, this feeling of being fed by people is still a little unaccustomed to Caiwei, and she can't eat it without waiting for the two waiters to hold a few chopsticks.

She looked at Zhao Yu pitifully, "Lord Wang, let's let them go down, let people wait for dinner, this girl is not used to it!" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at her good-naturedly, waved his hand, and the waiters and palace maids who were waiting in the flower hall all went out, and only the two of them were left in the huge West Flower Hall.
