Beijing Chapter 9 Friendship Volume: Elegant Collection (2)
"Brother Prince!" The three of them had a pleasant conversation, but was suddenly interrupted by a woman's shrill voice.
Following the voice, I saw a woman of 14 or 5 years old, wearing a gorgeous purple aristocratic costume, wearing a variety of jewels and jade hairpins, showing that she did not match her age, and she ran over quickly.
The crown prince Li Minghao subconsciously wanted to avoid it, and he was stunned in his heart, didn't I send her an invitation? She also came to .......
This woman's name is Liang Shanshan, and she is the youngest daughter of Liang Taishi in the current dynasty.
Mrs. Liang was a woman and named Shanshan. Because Empress Liang only had three daughters, in order to better control the government, she wanted to marry her youngest daughter to the crown prince.
A few days ago, Taishi Liang summoned his subordinates and asked about the recent situation in the capital. His subordinates informed him that Li Mingyuan had not moved, but the prince was preparing for the Yaji.
After learning of this, Taishi Liang asked the eyeliner who was originally lurking beside the prince to get Liang Shanshan an invitation, and asked his subordinates to create more opportunities for the two of them to meet.
Taishi Liang has always hoped that his daughter Shanshan will marry the prince as soon as possible and become the crown princess, but the prince has been looking for excuses, saying that she has not reached the age of Jilu, and now Shanshan will also turn 15, see what other reasons the prince has.
Today, Liang Shanshan deliberately dressed up carefully, although it was because of her father Liang Taishi's wishes to approach the prince, but she has always been in love with the gentle and elegant Li Minghao since she was a child.
"Brother Prince, what are you talking about?" Liang Shanshan was excited and didn't pay attention to the jade hairpin that fell because she ran too fast.
"We didn't talk about anything." The crown prince Li Minghao apparently interrupted the original chat because of her joining.
Li Mingyuan saw this woman, dressed in a dress that did not match her age, and then saw the attitude of the prince, and roughly guessed one or two.
After Liang Shanshan stood still, the maid immediately greeted her and straightened her messy dress. She also glanced at the person who was chatting with the prince's brother, who was not the person they knew at their usual gatherings, "Who is this?" She asked curiously.
Although Li Minghao was unhappy in his heart, he still had to introduce himself in terms of etiquette, "This is my brother, the little marquis of Yunzhou, Li Mingyuan." ”
Li Mingyuan smiled at Liang Shanshan and nodded, which was regarded as a salute.
"This is the daughter of Mrs. Liang, Liang Shanshan." He avoided his eyes and said helplessly.
Liang Shanshan also bowed back to Li Mingyuan.
"Okay, we both know each other, and there are still some things on my side, so I'll go over first." Li Minghao got up as he said and prepared to leave.
Liang Shanshan also stepped forward, "Brother Prince, why do you have to leave again as soon as I come?" She only has the prince in her eyes and doesn't pay attention to others.
"I'm preparing for Yaji, there are a lot of things, you can do it at will." The prince, anxious to get rid of her, said goodbye to the two of them, and turned away.
And Liang Shanshan is still following closely behind.
Lin Qingran saw them go away and said, "Who is this Liang Shanshan?" I felt that the prince was a little afraid of her. ”
"Didn't you just introduce it, Mrs. Liang's daughter." Li Mingyuan picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
"It seems that this Master Liang is not as simple as imagined." Lin Qingran thought to himself, Taishi Liang can't be the emperor himself, so he wants to be the future emperor's father-in-law.
"Do you have an impression of this Liang Shanshan?" Li Mingyuan asked.
Lin Qingran pondered for a while, "It seems that there is a shadow that often follows the prince, could it be her?" ”
"Oh?"
"Is there such a little kid who follows him every day, could it be Liang Shanshan?" She said as she thought.
"Then it seems that you guys are quite fateful." Li Mingyuan joked with a smile.
"It's some kind of fate, but ...... The prince is very angry with her, and I don't feel that the prince is fond of her. Lin Qingran looked full of gossip.
"The royal marriage is all the emperor's decision, and there is no difference between who he loves." Li Mingyuan also hides some resentment in his words, in the eyes of ordinary people, men and women marry, in them, they are just tools for scheming.
"If it were me, I would definitely not want to. With such a small tail following him, it is uncomfortable to think about it. Lin Qingran thought that Li Minghao had not had a very good time all these years.
Seeing her like this, Li Mingyuan seemed to ask, and said, "Then you...... What do you like? ”
Lin Qingran only cared about the pastries floating on the stream at this time, "Love? Then you must be happy with each other, otherwise, you must also find someone who is gentle and generous! ”
"Gentle and generous?" Can this man be described as gentle and generous?
"Yes, isn't marrying a wife to find gentleness and generosity?" She continued.
This Lin Qingran, I asked her, she was good, and she was talking about men. I don't know if she did it on purpose, or if she was pretending to be stupid, "too." ”
Listening to this meaning, Li Mingyuan is not fond of being gentle and generous, could it be that he has taken a fancy to this Liang Shanshan? It's really a unique taste, and "Don't you ......" aroused her gossip again.
"What am I, and you, yours, don't you say fear me? Even the little marquis didn't call for a word. "I knew she had some strange ideas.
"Don't care so much, awe is awe in the heart." She was sloppy.
"Don't talk about this, there is plum blossom cake on the water, you can take it quickly." Lin Qingran saw the plum blossom cake on the water and hurriedly urged.
Li Mingyuan looked at her slanderous appearance and sighed lightly, "Okay, I'll take it." ”
"There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone.
I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. ”
It was the plum blossom of the first king Anshi, and he took off the plum blossom cake as he spoke.
"It's not deep, but it's good." Lin Qingran commented.
I fetched her favorite plum blossom cake, and she was so good that she didn't even say a word of thanks.
Lin Qingran carefully checked the things flowing on the stream again, "Tea cake!" ”
"Tea cake?" Li Mingyuan had never heard of it.
"Yes, it's a pastry made with the best Longjing tea, that's it." This tea cake is usually only available in the palace, and it is really rare to see.
Li Mingyuan usually doesn't like to drink tea, and he can't think of any good poems for a while, Lin Qingran saw this and said anxiously:
"The source of Longjing asked Zizhan, I was also born with a semi-close Zen.
The spring is pleasant from the stone, and the tea is more flavorful from the peak. ”
After that, he went to take down the feather bud that was filled with the tea cake.
Li Mingyuan looked around vigilantly, "You are now a guard, and who knows if there is an eyeliner of Taishi Liang here." ”
"I didn't give it to you, the little marquis." Lin Qingran looked playful.
Upstream of the stream, there is a steady stream of food floating down with the water, all kinds of pastries, some delicacies.
Li Mingyuan relied on remembering the poems a few days ago, and he also took a lot.
Of course, Lin Qingran is the happiest, but she is now a guard, and she can't eat a lot, and she can't eat the food, which is indeed a little aggrieved.
"Little Hou Ye, do you know that after eating sweets, you have to clean your mouth." Lin Qingran smiled wickedly.
Li Mingyuan thought about her ghostly cleverness, and didn't know what she wanted to do, "The number of times you called my little marquis today is probably more than the previous combined." ”
Lin Qingran ignored it and continued: "If you eat this sweet, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't nourish your teeth in time. ”
"Raising teeth?"
"Have you ever seen a willow branch like a little brush?" She asked.
"Nope."
"What about brushing your teeth?" She continued to ask.
"No, how do you know so many strange things." Li Mingyuan never cares about these things on weekdays.
Sure enough, it was a big boss, "Then how do you clean your mouth on weekdays?" She asked.
"No, rinse your mouth with salt water or tea, it's as troublesome as you said."
Lin Qingran said with a wicked smile at this time, "Little Marquis, after eating the pastry, do you need some tea to rinse your mouth?" ”
Li Mingyuan didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in this gourd.
Lin Qingran has her own plans, she is just a guard now, and she can't eat the pastries on Li Mingyuan's table openly, so she wants to find an opportunity to clean up the table and take it to the back to eat secretly. By the way, you can also borrow the reputation of Li Mingyuan's little marquis to pack some pastries, after all, they are all delicacies in the palace.
"Okay, then someone ......" Li Mingyuan was about to ask someone to bring tea, but Lin Qingran interrupted him, "No, no, then bother others, I'll just go." However, little marquis, you see that your desktop is so messy, I'll help you clean it up first, and then pour you some tea. Lin Qingran said with a grin.
It turned out that she was a drunkard and didn't mean to drink, "Okay, you clean up." "What a ghost.
Lin Qingran happily cleaned up some delicacies on the table, then followed the other attendants, came to the place where the food was accessed, found a corner, and saw that no one noticed her, so she ate it.
While eating, I heard someone talking not far away,
"That Li Mingyuan, go and touch his bottom in a while, Taishi Liang has instructed to smelt him well."
"Yes."
She turned her head, trying to see who it was, when some attendants came to fetch the goods, and the man went out with the attendants.
Who could this man be? Could it be the people around the prince?
After a while, Lin Qingran packed the pastries and came over with tea.
Putting down the pastries and tea, she said, "Your popularity is really bad, I just heard that Taishi Liang wanted to smelt you." ”
"It's natural, I don't know much about poetry, he wants to see me make a fool of myself, it's not a common thing." Li Mingyuan is used to this kind of thing.
"You said that today's elegant gathering was prepared by the prince, could this person be someone from the prince's side?" She guessed.
"Oh? Possibly, I'd like to see who that person is. "If you can find out the eyeliner around the prince, it should deepen the relationship between him and the prince.
"I've taken some more, do you still want to eat it?" Li Mingyuan said, handed over some more pastries, knowing that she liked to eat, relying on the memory of poems a few days ago, he took a lot.
"Yes! You see, I've packed some of them! Lin Qingran looked happy.
Li Mingyuan sighed secretly, alas, ......!
Just after eating some pastries, Lin Qingran poured a cup of tea and wanted to drink it himself, but after looking at Li Mingyuan, he still handed it to him.
"Little Marquis, please use tea." She said.
"This is quite decent, and when I go home in the future, I will follow this etiquette." Li Mingyuan took the tea and said with satisfaction.
Hum! Is it possible.
