Chapter 7: Preparing to leave the palace
"Your Majesty does you have a favorite woman?" As soon as she arrived in the room, Mrs. Meng asked Zhao Chengxi impatiently.
"Didn't my grandmother see her too? Who is worthy of your good grandson? ”
"The courtiers think Miss Mu is good."
"Miss Mu? Oh...... It's a good life, and the poems written by others are obviously where the heart belongs. ”
"It's not Your Majesty that you deliberately concealed your identity, those peach blossoms were taken by the Protector."
"I don't like people who only look at fame, fortune and status." Zhao Chengxi saw Mrs. Meng's sad face, and comforted, "Grandmother, I'm still young, what's the hurry!" ”
Mrs. Meng saw that Zhao Chengxi was already determined, and it was not easy to persuade him more, so she said something else: "The courtier is also the first time to see the Protector Marquis, and she is really extraordinary, but does Your Majesty have a lot of opinions about the Protector Marquis?" ”
"Grandmother, you are too worried, the Protector Marquis has made great achievements, how can I have an opinion, just a few words of ridicule."
"That's fine. The Protector Marquis is in power, and His Majesty has not long ascended the throne, and the foundation is unstable, so it is still necessary to appease the Protector Prince's Mansion. The marquis is the minister appointed by the first emperor, and he must be loyal, and the courtiers are worried that His Majesty's city is too shallow and will be sow discord by people with intentions. ”
Zhao Chengxi naturally knew Mrs. Meng's worries, and comforted: "Grandmother, don't worry, whoever is good to your grandson, your grandson's heart is clear." ”
Before Mrs. Meng could say something, a person walked in from outside the house: "The old minister sees Your Majesty." ”
"Grandpa is exempt."
The person who came was Meng Lingping, who got the news.
Meng Lingping opened his mouth and crackled and asked, "Why did Your Majesty leave the palace?" Didn't bring a guard of honor either? What about the guards? What if something happens? Your Majesty, you should think about the thousands of people of the Tanglin Kingdom, and you must not risk the dragon body! ”
Zhao Chengxi opened his mouth and didn't say a word. She suddenly regretted coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, to be precise, she regretted that Meng Lingping knew that she was coming......
Although Mu Wan'er was also surprised by Zhao Chengxi's identity, it was only Qin Chongzhou who was her top priority, and she didn't pay attention to other things. She was satisfied with her performance just now, but she didn't know if Qin Chongzhou had noticed her. The opportunity to see Qin Chongzhou today is really rare, if it is after today, I don't know when the next time I see Qin Chongzhou. In that case, she had to take the initiative again.
After Zhao Chengxi left, everyone chatted with each other, and Qin Chongzhou naturally wouldn't stay long, so he got up and left.
Qin Chongzhou originally brought Qin Xu and Qin Zhi to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when they came to Fenghetai just now, Qin Chongzhou asked the two of them to stay in the front hall to eat and drink. Qin Chongzhou thought about calling the two of them and went back to the house, but he was just out of Fenghetai not far away, but he was stopped by a "Hou Ye".
This woman is ...... I don't seem to know it.
"What?"
"The little woman Mu Wan'er has seen Master Hou." Mu Wan'er gave Qin Chongzhou a courtesy dignifiedly.
Qin Chongzhou bowed his head: "No courtesy, I don't know what happened to Miss?" ”
"The little woman has admired the name of the Hou Ye for a long time, and today I saw the demeanor of the Hou Ye, and I came to pay a visit." Mu Wan'er said generously, and her eyes looking at Qin Chongzhou were also full of reverence and admiration. I have to say that Mu Wan'er's elegant and confident appearance is indeed the ideal type of partner for men, especially a man with a noble status and a well-informed person.
But who is Qin Chongzhou, he doesn't care about this kind of gaze at all, and he has never been close to women, let alone Mu Wan'er.
"Thank you, Miss Mu." Qin Chongzhou nodded, turned around and continued to walk forward.
Unexpectedly, Mu Wan'er trotted two steps, walked to Qin Chongzhou's side, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, the little girl is just about to leave, I don't know if I have this honor to walk with Master Hou?" ”
Qin Chongzhou frowned slightly, but still said patiently: "Whatever you want." ”
It's just that Qin Chongzhou's steps are big and fast, and Mu Wan'er can almost trot to keep up with Qin Chongzhou, but she really doesn't want to give up this opportunity to be alone with Qin Chongzhou.
"Master Hou has an impression of the bad work of the talented little girl when he was playing?" Mu Wan'er wanted to take the opportunity to test Qin Chongzhou, but she realized the meaning of her poem.
"I'm sorry, Ben Hou is really not a person who dances and inks, so he didn't listen carefully."
Unexpectedly, Qin Chongzhou's direct sentence made Mu Wan'er a little embarrassed, Mu Wan'er still wanted to say something, Qin Chongzhou said again: "Benhou still has something, go first." ”
After speaking, Qin Chongzhou didn't wait for Mu Wan'er to answer, so he walked away quickly, leaving Mu Wan'er in place to speak.
Xiao Tao followed after a while and asked, "Miss, can you talk to Master Hou?" ”
Mu Wan'er didn't answer, but said: "You let people quietly observe the movements of the Hou Mansion, and if the Hou Ye is out of the mansion, come and tell me." ”
"Yes, miss." Although Xiao Tao didn't know, he also responded.
Qin Chongzhou arrived in the front hall and found that Qin Xu and Qin Zhi were already waiting at the door.
Qin Xu and the others greeted Qin Chongzhou when they saw him, and Qin Xu said: "Why has Master Hou been gone for so long, didn't he say that he would sit down and leave after a while?" But what happened? ”
Qin Xu knows Qin Chongzhou's temperament very well, and he doesn't like these banquets, if it weren't for Meng Lingping's face today, he probably wouldn't have come, let alone the kind of gathering with female relatives to write poems and lyrics. Therefore, Qin Xu wondered if something was wrong.
"Qin Xu, what will happen in this Prime Minister's Mansion, maybe it is the young lady that the Hou Ye has fallen in love with, so he will stay longer." Qin Zhi looked very sure of his conjecture.
Qin Chongzhou had long been accustomed to Qin Zhi's nonsense, and directly ignored it: "It's a bit delayed." Let people talk to Meng Xiang, saying that Ben Hou has left in advance and will visit him another day. In addition, Qin Xu, you will take a few secret guards to wait here, and secretly escort His Majesty back to the palace. ”
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty is here? Qin Xu and the others were taken aback.
"Your Majesty's private visit, let's do it."
Now that Meng Lingping knows about it, of course it is impossible for Zhao Chengxi to quietly return to the palace. Meng Lingping sent government soldiers to escort Zhao Chengxi back to the palace.
Zhao Chengxi said with some regret when he entered the Yangxin Palace: "Today, I will stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I haven't visited Jingling City, and I haven't gone to Yipin Pavilion." No way! I'll have to go out again in two days, or I'll be haunted! ”
Xiao Lianzi saw Zhao Chengxi's enthusiastic appearance, his little face wrinkled, for this majesty, he didn't have any ruts at all.
"Your Majesty, when I returned to the palace, my subordinates found that someone was secretly following, the number of six people, and the martial arts were not low, but they didn't detect the malice." Chang Yi told Zhao Chengxi.
"Could it be that my grandfather is worried about me and sent someone to protect me in secret?" Zhao Chengxi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, people don't care if they don't have malicious intentions...... Let's go to Ippage next time! I have to try the most famous restaurant in Jingling City! ”
"But Your Majesty, doesn't Chang Yi often buy the dishes of Yipin Pavilion back to the palace for you? You've eaten it several times......" reminded Lianzi weakly.
"What's the same with take-out? Of course, I want to eat freshly baked. ”
Chang Yi and Xiao Lianzi: ......
