Chapter 31: Chongyang

"Girl, where are we going?" Ah Chi sat in the carriage and looked around, and saw a large box tied to the back.

"Go back to that Zhuangzi."

Zhao Surui only said these five words.

For the superiors, they can usually be moody, but when they are flustered, they must force themselves to be calm and steady, although Zhao Surui is full of confusion in his heart, he is a hundred times more stable than usual on the surface.

Hearing that she was going back to Zhuangzi, Ah Chi glanced back at the box that her girl had packed up with joy and joy yesterday.

Glancing at her girl again, she didn't speak.

The girl was uncomfortable, but she could see it.

Since he can't change it back, then this Shen Sanru, he still has to go down, Zhao Surui lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the carriage driving out of the side door of the princess's mansion.

Farther away, a line of red walls and yellow tiles could be faintly seen through the yellow leaves and dead branches, which was the imperial city where he kept saying that he was tired of it.

Zhao Surui withdrew his fingers and let the curtain fall.

Ah Chi on the side looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Surui glanced at her: "What are you looking at?" ”

"The girl sits quietly like this, just like before."

"Once upon a time?" Zhao Surui snorted coldly, "What was I like before?" ”

"Girls used to read books and write every day......"

"I don't mean that once upon a time." Zhao Surui interrupted Ah Chi's words, leaning on the frame with one arm, his tone was lazy, as if he was very careless.

"I'm asking you, earlier, before your girl married into the Xie family."

Ah Chi listened and smiled: "Then girl, you have to ask Pei Feng and Tu Nan, and then you don't wait for Chuiyun to come back, you can ask her." I was sent to the Shen family to take care of the girl after my lord's accident, and I just entered the Shen family for less than a month, and the girl married into Ning Anbo's mansion. ”

Zhao Surui raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that Shen Sanyu stayed by his side to take care of his personal big maid was not the one she had stayed by her side since she was a child.

"So who has been following since childhood...... It's mine? Tunan? ”

"Tu Nan Peifeng and Sister Chuiyun, they have been serving the girl, Pei Feng was bought from Renyazi when the girl was ten years old, Sister Chuiyun is the maid next to Mrs., Tu Nan's father is the long-term follower of the master, and he was also gone when the master had an accident." Ah Chi told his own girl in detail about the origin of a few maids, and smiled first after speaking, "I came to the girl's side at the latest, and I can take care of me from Sister Chuiyun downward, and when Sister Chuiyun got married, the girl brought me to her side to serve." ”

Obviously, they all grew up together, but they rely on Ah Chi, a halfway maid?

Zhao Surui frowned, he remembered what Shen Sanrui said last night.

The unruly and untamable Shen Shao engraved the words "Shushan is wanting" on her hairpin, and Shen Shiqing and Ah Chi have never seen it, so the soft and kind and helpless "girl" in Ah Chi's eyes is really the real Shen Shiqing?

The carriage gradually moved away, and on the corner tower of the princess's mansion, Zhao Mingyin looked at the place where the car was traveling in an embroidered gold cloak.

Behind her, the female officer was holding a half-sleeved gold silk cloak that she had worn yesterday.

"Princess, how can you not feel that Zhenjun saw the words embroidered on your cloak? Since she sent a letter to the princess's mansion, you should always thank her for showing up everywhere. ”

Zhao Mingyin just chuckled: "Chu Yan doesn't have to be unfair for me, Shen Li, I am really a gentleman's friend with her, and I never need any vulgar courtesy, she helped me back then, why did she ask me to thank me?" Dayong Dynasty for 200 years, passed to nine generations, noble and mediocre, harsh donations like hemp, the people are bitter, the women in the people are especially bitter, but there are few people who can see, Shen Li is really half of my confidant. Since I have a lot of help from her, not to mention that she just wants to overthrow a third-rate earl's palace, even if she asks me to go to the fief of a vassal king for her, I can't do anything. ”

The female official named Wei Chuyan was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "In this case, why doesn't the princess stay in the mansion for a few more days?" Anyway, there is a name for studying the inscription of the golden stone, and it saves the Xie family from bothering the real lady again? ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Mingyin shook his head, "The ...... I saw yesterday"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Mingyin blinked.

Yesterday, Shen Shiqing was completely different from what she had seen before, but it did not make her feel strange.

"I don't know why, but I look at her looking around like a puppy, and I feel a little familiar."

After speaking, Zhao Mingyin laughed first.

A gust of wind rose, and she tightened her cloak and turned to walk down the corner tower.

"Let Wen Changshi work hard and go to Ning'anbo Mansion to ask for someone as usual, just be polite, and don't have to give anyone face."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

———

On the morning of the Double Ninth Festival, Shen Shiqing wore a full set of gowns and wore a crown of gold silk wings to greet the Queen Mother.

The queen mother still disappeared as usual, and only let the palace order around her pass a few words, which means that when the emperor takes his ministers to ascend, don't just remember to play, you have to think about how the first emperors of the Dayong dynasties have today's prosperity.

Shen Shiqing responded, went back to the Qianqing Palace to eat, read, and waited until the sun rose, and finally drove to Wansui Mountain.

The officials with a face in the capital had been waiting in front of the noon gate for a long time, and when the holy chariot came out of the imperial gate, they followed the imperial chariot in two teams.

Even the cabinet scholars, princes, and generals had to follow the emperor and walk to Banzai Mountain at this time.

Li Congyuan, who was standing at the head of the team, took a deep breath, for today, he walked in the courtyard every night half a month in advance.

At this time, a big eunuch trotted all the way from behind:

"Last night, the emperor told me, several elders work hard for the country every day, and today the elders are rewarded for sitting in a sedan chair on the Long Live Mountain, and the children and grandchildren are ready to shoulder the shoulders, the old adults, get on the sedan chair."

After Ergou finished speaking, everyone saw a group of little eunuchs running over from the Jinji Gate in the east.

Several cabinet ministers and several Shangshu lords who did not enter the cabinet and the British Duke and others hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but Li Congyuan was a little entangled, he knelt down, but he was not very reluctant.

After all, although he has become the de facto head of the cabinet, he is not yet fifty this year.

It's really not an "old" adult.

British Gong Yingsheng saw Li Congyuan hesitating in front of his shoulder, he pushed Li Congyuan to the seat, and after pushing, he laughed:

"Although Li Ge is not very old, his body is not as good as the old man, you should sit on this shoulder."

Li Congyuan was speechless for a while, the British Duke is seventy and four this year, and he is a sturdy old minister of the Four Dynasties, and he can eat five catties of meat in one meal, if he compares his body to the bones, half of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty must be regarded as unsound legs and feet.

"Thank you, old man, I was just thinking that since I don't have to walk up the mountain this year, I should make a few more poems to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Hahaha!" The old man, who didn't know poetry, instantly remembered the back of his ear and didn't hear a word.

Long Live Mountain is located in the northeast corner of Xiyuan, and the officials all the way see the golden trees of Xiyuan and the cool scene of autumn water, and the courtiers who follow behind have to let out a few exclamations from time to time.

Adorned at the back are mostly some of the six petty officials and the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, etc., embellished behind the mighty ministers into a lump of green and green, they have also won the appreciation of their respective officials to have this opportunity to accompany the driver, and I don't know how many intrigues have been in the middle, for them, it is really a rare blessing to be able to enter the West Garden.

Of course, if you can take the opportunity to show your strengths in front of Your Majesty, it will be a great surprise.

Long live the mountain is not high, to the foot of the mountain, the young "Emperor Zhaode" got off the Luan.

Li Congyuan saw it, and hurriedly took the lead to get down from his shoulder: "Your Majesty is gracious, reward the ministers and others to enter the West Garden in a sedan chair, and now Your Majesty has gotten off the Luan drive, and the ministers dare not take a sedan chair to go up the mountain, and I also ask Your Majesty to allow the ministers to walk up the mountain with Your Majesty." ”

Shen Shiqing waved her hand indifferently, the reason why she asked people to prepare for the shoulder was because she remembered that Yang Zhai, the secretary of the military department, had an ugly face when she was in the early court two days ago, and she asked people to inquire privately, it turned out that the old minister had hemorrhoids.

The monarchs and ministers walked up the hill together, and they could see patches of peaches, plums, apricots, and pears, as well as persimmons that had already hung red fruits.

There are pen and paper on both sides of the road, and if the ministers have the idea of writing poems and paintings, they can use their pen and ink at will.

said that the ministers accompanied His Majesty to ascend the heights, walking and walking, Li Congyuan felt that this was more like a literary meeting.

Under a pine tree, there are still a few palace people playing and singing, and there are several jars of imperial wine next to them.

Seeing Li Congyuan looking at the palace people who were playing and singing, Shen Shiqing said with a smile: "Since it is to climb high and enjoy music, you must have some interest in appreciating music, and anyone who has written poems can be sent to let them play and sing, and you can also change a glass of wine to drink." ”

Li Congyuan, who has quit drinking for seven years, can't help but move in his heart.

Shen Shiqing said again: "Li Ge is the famous Kyushu, why don't you go and be a judge?" ”

This move was scratching the itch, where did Li Congyuan still have the heart to accompany him, and strode over with his official robe.

Shen Shiqing lowered her head and smiled, and continued to watch the scenery with the others.

At this time, a man walked up to her.

"Zhao Qinyang, the prince of Chenying County, please give peace to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

Shen Shiqing looked at the man in front of him, who was about thirty years old, and squinted his eyes slightly.

"The prince of Yingjun is dressed appropriately today."

With that, she ignored the man and walked on.

Zhao Qin knelt on the stone steps, and no one called out, and no one comforted him.

The prince of a county was actually saved face by an emperor younger than himself when he first met the saint.

The ministers pretended not to see it, but between their eyebrows, they were all lively.

A man in a cyan official uniform came out of the pine forest carrying a small jar of imperial wine, and when he heard that the prince of Yingjun was still kneeling on the ground, he tilted his head and glanced through the crack in the crowd, and smiled lightly.

Their majesty is really as casual as ever.

"Master Ming, Li Ge Lao praised you for your good poetry, and I was looking for you everywhere, why did you come out of the pine forest?"

"I went in because I was greedy for wine, and since I got wine, I naturally came out."

Holding the small wine jar, the young man who was called the master of the Ming smiled, and turned to go down the mountain without going up.

"Master Ming, we haven't reached the top of the mountain yet, why are you going down the mountain?"

"Climbing is for viewing, not for climbing, I've seen what I want to see, I'm satisfied, I should find a good place to drink under the view."

After saying that, he waved his hand and went backwards to a place where his colleagues could not find him.
