Chapter 461: Paying Tribute to Wei Mingjie
Chapter 461: Paying Tribute to Wei Mingjie
Li Luobing soon waited for the day of leaving the palace, she had already packed up early that morning, and everything to be prepared was ready, and after a while, the guards came directly to her palace.
"Princess Jiewu, we can go, you go with us this time, don't worry too much along the way, we will definitely protect your safety, princess."
The guards were very respectful to Li Luobing, the princess who relieved her worries, not only because of her current status as a princess, but also because she used to be Princess Yan before.
The previous Princess Yan left a very good impression in the hearts of many people, although she has amnesia now, everyone's attitude towards her has not changed.
"Okay." Luo Bing nodded, took some of his belongings with Qiao Su, and walked out of the palace with the guards.
After entering the palace for so long, Li Luobing finally walked out of it, and the moment she stepped out of the palace door, she felt a burst of relief.
I used to be cautious everywhere in the palace, but I lived a lot more depressed, and many of the things I did were completely against my heart. Now that I'm finally out of the palace, I can also take this opportunity to spend more time outside.
"What would the princess like to go? The emperor has already instructed us to meet all the princess's requirements. ”
After leaving the palace, the guards did not rush to deliver the goods, but came to Li Luobing's carriage to ask her opinion.
After hearing the guards' words, Li Luobing didn't expect Chu Zhuangyan to attach so much importance to her now, whether it was from his own request to leave the palace or to the present, Chu Zhuangyan has always instructed the guards to take more care of herself. In her heart, Chu Zhuangyan was not as repulsed as before.
This reveals that Chu Zhuangyan's attitude towards her is unusual, and this kind of unusualness is a good thing on the surface, but it is a wake-up call in Li Luobing's heart. She felt that she had nothing to invest in him, so why should he be so good to him for no reason?
The better Chu Zhuangyan treats her, the more Li Luobing feels that Chu Zhuangyan's purpose is increasing, but he hasn't proposed it yet. If one day Chu Zhuangyan let himself be as amicable as Chu Jiaying, he would not even have the right to refuse.
"Princess?" After the guards finished speaking, they had been waiting for Li Luobing's answer, but Li Luobing seemed to be in deep thought, and did not pay attention to them, and in desperation, they could only call Li Luobing repeatedly, which pulled her back from her contemplation.
"No, there's nothing I want to go to, I just need to go to Lord Wei's place to sacrifice." Li Luobing waved her hand, she didn't want to give birth to anything else on the way.
After seeing Li Luobing say this, the guards were also happy to worry and went straight to the city gate.
"I'll go and deliver this shipment first, and a few of you will stay here to protect the princess." The guards at the head said as they ordered a few people from the crowd and asked them to stand on Li Luobing's side.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you can send these people at will, if there is any danger, they will protect you as soon as possible, I will stay for an hour or two after delivering the goods and then come back, and when I pass by here, I can bring you back to the palace."
The guards briefly told Li Luobing about today's arrangements, and Li Luobing knew that his every move seemed to be free, but in fact it was under Chu Zhuangyan's control.
She nodded, and did not raise any objections, and the guards left with the remaining few people and the goods, while Li Luobing returned to the carriage and began to rummage through the things brought out of the palace.
"Princess, what are you looking for?"
Qiao Su couldn't help but ask when he saw that Li Luobing was still looking for things after spreading out the things in a whole carriage.
"Why is the pot of wine I brought with me when I was looking for the palace gone?" Li Luobing said without replying.
She clearly remembered that she put the wine here when she left the palace, and this pot of wine was meant to be given to Wei Mingjie, why is it missing now?
"A jug of wine?" After hearing what Li Luobing said, Qiao Su was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and rubbed his hands in place with some embarrassment.
"If you were referring to the jar of wine at the table, Princess, it had already been placed in the palace by the slaves."
Li Luobing's hand rummaged through the things for a moment, and looked back at Qiao Su with some puzzlement: "Why did you put it in the palace?" ”
Qiao Su scratched her head: "When the slave maid was packing up, I felt that the pot of wine was too heavy, I was afraid that you would not be able to hold it and be tired, so I put down the pot of wine after thinking about it, the slave didn't know that you were going to give it to Lord Wei, and now ......"
The more Qiao Su spoke, the more nervous she became, and there was a hint of crying in her words. She more or less knew Li Luobing's attitude towards Wei Mingjie, and this matter should not be a trivial matter to Li Luobing.
Although Li Luobing felt helpless about this matter, he couldn't be too harsh on Qiaosu.
"Forget it, if you don't have it, just find a restaurant around here and buy a jar of wine."
What are the restaurants around here? Qiao Su looked around, they are now in the suburbs of Beijing, and there are very few tea shops around, where to find a restaurant?
"Do you know of any restaurants around here?" Li Luobing saw that Qiao Su couldn't answer for a while, so he opened his mouth to ask the guards who stayed.
The guard shook his head after thinking for a while: "If you go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, there is not a restaurant within a radius of several miles around here, if you want to find the nearest restaurant, you can only go back to the capital." ”
"Beijing? Absolutely not. As soon as he heard that he was going back to the capital, Li Luobing was in trouble.
It has been nearly an hour since they came out of the capital, and if they returned to the capital for a jar of wine, there would be no time left for Wei Mingjie to sacrifice this time.
When the time comes, the guards who transported the goods will come back, and she will return to the palace, so there is no point in leaving the palace this time.
"Is there a home around here? Maybe those people will have some wine in their homes, and I still have some silver taels on me, so why don't we go to them and buy it?" ”
The way back to the capital would never work, so Li Luobing came up with another way.
"Princess, do you have to have wine?" The guards were a little embarrassed after hearing Li Luobing's words.
Li Luobing nodded: "Yes." ”
In her impression, Wei Mingjie likes to drink a few sips of wine when he has something to worry about, and if she doesn't bring him wine this time, he will definitely be unhappy if he knows something.
"There are a few families around, but I don't know if there is alcohol at home."
After listening to Li Luobing's words, two of the guards ran around to inquire and came back to tell them some information.
"It's okay, let's go check it out, what if there is?"
"Yes." Seeing Li Luobing's insistence like this, the guards could only take Li Luobing to find the people nearby.
"Wait a minute," Li Luobing suddenly stopped after walking a few steps, "When I see those people for a while, don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess, and don't reveal our identities, I don't want to cause too much of a sensation." ”
Li Luobing's worries are reasonable, she used to be Princess Yan, and now she is the princess of Jie Wei, if the people know, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble, she just wants to pay tribute to Wei Mingjie quietly, and she doesn't want to involve too much.
"But if you don't reveal your identity......" The guards looked at Li Luobing's dress and were a little embarrassed.
"That's it." Li Luobing immediately understood the guards' eyes.
As she spoke, she veiled her face, revealing only one pair of eyes. And he also put an ordinary caftan over the clothes he wore when he left the palace, so that he was no different from an ordinary official lady, at least the people would not have any curiosity about his identity.
After dressing up, Li Luobing commanded the guards again.
"You have removed all the armor from your bodies, although I have changed my clothes, but those people will definitely stay away when they see the armor on your body, let alone talk to us."
The guards obediently took off their armor, changed into ordinary clothes, and walked with Li Luobing to the nearby people's homes.
Li Luobing came to a house and raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after a long time, two gray-haired old men came out of the house.
"Old man, do you have any wine at home?"
The two old men were very wary of the group of people who suddenly visited, and kept looking them up and down, and when they saw a few women behind the group of people, their vigilance relaxed, maybe which young lady went out to play!
"There is only one pot of self-brewed wine at home, and I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the eyes of all nobles." The old man was about to close the door after he finished speaking, Li Luobing glanced at the guard, and the guard hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute, this wine ...... It's not for us, we want to worship an old man, but when we went out, we forgot to bring wine because of some things, so we came to the neighborhood to see it. ”
Sacrifice to the deceased? After hearing the guard's words, the old man stopped, and then put his eyes on Li Luobing next to him, and after seeing the sadness in her eyes, the old man had an idea in his heart.
Maybe the woman next to her is to pay tribute to his dead husband, right? If that's the case, then you can give them the wine.
"Old man, we won't take your wine for nothing, we will buy the wine as much money as you need." Li Luobing was afraid that the old man would regret it, so he hurriedly spoke.
As Li Luobing spoke, the last bit of vigilance in the old man's heart disappeared, and he let a group of people into the courtyard, took them to his family's firewood room, and took out a jar of sealed wine and put it in front of them.
"This is the wine I made before, in fact, it should be sealed for a few more days, but since a few people want to use it, let's take it!"
The old man opened the pot of wine as he spoke, and the moment it was opened, a smell of wine filled the room, Li Luobing took a deep breath, and felt that the pot of wine had exceeded her expectations.
