One hundred and eighteenth departure from Beijing
Shainin had a lot of luggage, and he packed several boxes of clothes alone. She looked at the luggage packed by Qinghe Qingmei, and couldn't figure out when she had saved up so many belongings, and besides, she only needed to live for half a month, so she could bring such things?
The question in her heart was asked unconsciously, and Qinghe looked at her in surprise: "There are so many things to enjoy flowers and entertain guests in the palace, do you want to wear a set of clothes every day to meet people?" ”
According to Qinghe, then she has to bring at least a dozen clothes even to meet guests, no wonder she needs so many boxes to pack.
"This one is good, this one is good." Qingmei looked at the two skirts in her hand with great difficulty, one was duck egg blue, with the same color silk thread embroidered with hibiscus flowers. The other is lotus color, and the plain gauze skirt is very elegant.
But the box was about to fit out.
Qinghe said decisively: "Take another box to pack." ”
Xie Ning really wanted to say that if he took another box, Qingmei would definitely not be satisfied with just putting a skirt in the new box, and she would definitely be willing to fill the box with it, and this situation would be repeated again.
The reason why Shainin was predictable was because this scene had happened once just now.
Not only her own things, but also a lot of things for the second prince, don't look at it as a child who is not yet 100 days old, and there are several boxes of clothes. There are also people who are waiting beside him, even the nurse and the palace maid and the eunuch are also more than a dozen people. Not to mention the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao.
This is a summer outing, it's like moving.
Fang Shanggong didn't feel that it was redundant to bring so many things, and said with a smile: "It doesn't look like it's useless now, but if something is short when you are in the palace, do you still send someone back to the palace to get it?" If you don't say anything about tossing on the road, you're afraid of delaying things. ”
This also makes sense, Xie Ning had no choice but to hold the second prince and let them toss.
The eldest prince came in with his little flute, and he walked very lightly, like a cat.
"What's wrong? How's your stuff packed? ”
The eldest prince said: "I want to take the flute with me, what if I can't find it in the box?" ”
The people below didn't dare to lose their master's things if they lost them, but Xie Ning understood the feelings of the eldest prince, nodded and said, "Then you can take it with you." ”
I remember when I was a child, my uncle made a grasshopper for her, and she didn't worry about pretending to be in her hand, but later......
I dozed off halfway and lost it.
Children are like this, and they are reluctant to let go of the things they like for a moment.
The eldest prince asked, "Is Mr. Wang going too?" ”
"Go."
Wang Moyan naturally has to go, his current status is not only the master of the eldest prince, but also the imperial physician of Princess Yuyao. Princess Yuyao's condition is now greatly improved, and she made an exception yesterday to say a word.
It's only two words, though.
It was when Shang Gong fed her soup, and she turned her face away and said, "Don't eat it." ”
These two short words made Xie Ning almost burst into tears with excitement. Although she teased her later, she refused to speak.
But she's getting better.
Princess Yuyao's luggage can't be loaded in two or three cars, this is because she is in her mother's filial piety, and the number of clothes and accessories has been greatly reduced.
In addition to Yong'an Palace, there were also Concubine Xian, Han Chongrong's mother and daughter, Shi Shunyi, Gao Jieyu, Chen Jieyu and Li Zhaorong. There are countless people waiting, the convoy is mighty out of the Xuanyou Gate and heading south, Xie Ning has not seen the situation outside the palace since he entered the palace, and he can see the people who are bowing down on both sides of the road through the curtain.
She grabbed the second prince's little finger and pointed outside: "Look, this is outside the palace." ”
The second prince kept trying to grab the curtain, probably thinking that it was not clear to see through such a layer of things.
Actually, it shouldn't be like this outside the palace. Xie Ning remembered in a trance that when she entered the palace, it was very lively along the way, with a lot of traffic and people. But now that he came out with the emperor's royal car, he couldn't listen to these movements.
After leaving the Nanxun Gate of the capital, a horse galloped from the front of the convoy, and came to Xie Ning's car with a fist and saluted: "The lower official has seen Xie Jieyu, the emperor has an order, please Xie Jieyu and the second prince to go ahead." ”
Xie Ning had no choice but to respond: "Got it." ”
The car was whipped and went all the way past the others, sending Xie Ning and the second prince to the imperial chariot.
The emperor was rarely idle, and he was sitting there with a book in his hand. He had just met a foreign minister, wearing a blue-gray regular robe and a gauze crown on his head. After Xie Ning came in, he served him and took off his outer robe, leaving only the moon-white fine linen gauze robe inside, which was cool and light.
"Are you tired of riding in the car?" The emperor took the second prince over, smiled and pinched his little face, but asked Xie Ning.
"Not tired at all." Xie Ning said: "It's hard to get out of the palace, and it's fresh." ”
The emperor said: "In the future, I will have leisure to go to farther places, climb mountains, ride horses, hunt, and have many interesting things." ”
Bai Hongqi came in with tea and drank tea in the car, and the tea was less than usual, so as not to spill out if it was shaken. However, the chariot is particularly stable, and the tea only shakes slightly in the cup.
"When you arrive at Jinfeng Garden, you will live in Qingbi Hall, which is a big and quiet place, and it is close to me."
Xie Ning nodded yes, and then asked, "What about the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao?" ”
"I'll live with you."
Well, it's still the same as in Yong'an Palace.
"I haven't been there in years." The emperor looked at the tree next to the palace road outside the gauze curtain: "I was born in Jinfeng Garden. ”
This is the first time Shainin has heard of it, and no one has mentioned it before. If the emperor didn't say it, she would still think that the emperor was born in the palace.
"Didn't the emperor be born in the palace?"
"It's not. At that time, the emperor was also here to spend the summer, and I was born here. ”
The emperor didn't seem to be in a good mood when he mentioned this matter, Xie Ning thought, maybe the emperor remembered the deceased queen mother.
At this time, Xie Ning didn't know how to persuade him, but fortunately, the second prince had a fork at this time, and he urinated.
The hot boy urinated on the emperor's body, and the emperor who had not undergone such treatment was directly stupid, he held the chubby son in both hands, and looked at the dark water stains on the robe in a daze.
Xie Ning hurriedly took his son over, and apologized for him with a smile: "The second prince is not sensible, and the emperor forgives him." Bai Hongqi hurriedly took out a new robe to change clothes for the emperor, and took out the one that was wet with the change.
The emperor was just stunned, but not angry, and looked at the second prince and smiled while changing clothes. The second prince himself was not wet at all, and he stayed in Xie Ning's arms and sucked his thumb and drooled.
"I'll remember it for him first, and then settle accounts with him when he's older."
Xie Ning responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes." While thinking, how is the emperor going to keep accounts? Could it be that the housekeeper who remembers the living note will write it down in the booklet, and the emperor was wet by the second prince on a certain day, and this is specially recorded as evidence?
Bai Hongqi brought in fruit refreshments, among which there was a plate of lychees, most of which were chilled before being served, and just after arriving at the imperial chariot, a layer of water beads formed on the lychee shells.
Xie Ning cleaned his hand and peeled lychees for the emperor. Gone to the hard shell outside, the lychee flesh inside was as crystal clear as ice and snow, full and clear, and the sweet juice gushed out when you took a bite.
The emperor ate one, signaled Xie Ning to eat it himself, he leaned there and watched Xie Ning methodically peel off the hard shell, tear off the membrane coat, the white and crystal flesh lined her white fingertips, and the scene was beautiful enough to enter the painting.
"Tasted this before?"
"The emperor forgot? The concubine and her uncle have been to the south and lived for two years, but they have not eaten this. "When I live in the south, there are often people who carry a burden outside the courtyard wall and under the window to sell, a bunch of strings are tied together, and the green leaves are lined below, in order to look good, there will be some water sprinkled on it, the red and green reflect the water droplets, and it looks very good. However, it is not so easy to eat a bite of lychee in the north, and not everyone in the palace has that identity to enjoy lychee, some can be touched, and some can't even see it.
Xie Ning dipped the second prince in a little juice to taste it, but the second prince didn't seem to appreciate the taste, and his little face wrinkled and twisted to the side.
"Yo, my second prince is quite picky, and he can't even look down on lychees."
The convoy did not stop at noon, because there were no soups and dishes in the car, and the weather was hot, and the fried oil was not served, Shainin felt that the steamed fish was very delicious, and it was difficult for the chef to make it under such conditions. There is also a five-color cold spell, which is also salty and refreshing.
"When you get to Jinfeng Garden, let the eldest prince follow the senior bachelor to study." The emperor said: "I don't force him to read any famous hall, but he must always be literate and courteous, and he must not lose the royal system." ”
"The concubine remembered," Xie Ning reminded himself to turn around and tell Fang Shanggong, prepare the things for reading, and asked, "What about Princess Yuyao?" Do you want to ask the Shang Palace, who is the inner palace supervisor, to teach it too? ”
The emperor thought for a moment: "She will wait a little longer, and now she should recuperate first." ”
After a while after lunch, someone handed him a fold and asked him to see him, and the emperor nodded and said, "Pass him on." ”
Since the emperor wanted to see the ministers here, Xie Ning took his son and retired.
Of course, it is not as comfortable as going back to their own car, but only their mother and son are more comfortable. Xie Ning also loosened his clothes, squinted his eyes and recuperated for a while.
Before coming, she asked Fang Shanggong about the situation of Jinfeng Garden, and Fang Shanggong also said that she might live in Qingbi Hall, for exactly the same reason as the emperor said. The place is a large house and exquisite, and the key is to be closer to the emperor's residence.
"I remember that there is still a grape trellis in the backyard of Qingbi Hall, I don't know if it has changed now."
Xie Ning asked Fang Shanggong: "You have also been to Jinfeng Garden before, right?" When did it happen? ”
Fang Shanggong said softly: "It's been many years, and I can't remember it clearly. ”
Xie Ning remembered that Fang Shanggong had stayed in the Needlework Bureau for many years before, so she should have been serving the concubine when she went to Jinfeng Garden.
