Although the evil wind blew all morning, at noon, there was still a bit of clear weather in Yanjing City, people came and went on the street outside the front door, the carriages and small sedan chairs sat by dignitaries and dignitaries were endless, and there were merchants and hawkers carrying flat burdens carrying things along the street to sell.

Sitting in a four-wheeled wooden car, Lin Miaozhen couldn't help but open the curtain and look outside, only to feel that those small stalls selling "pine nut candy" and "steamed cakes" were very rare.

Seeing that Lin Miaozhen couldn't help but look out, Shen Shiqing said with a smile: "Sister, if you like something, just let people buy it and eat it, it's just one, let's go to Zuixian Mansion to eat roast mutton today, you don't have to save some stomach."

Lin Miaozhen turned back and picked up the ear of "Zhao Surui": "I just haven't seen you for a long time, you and I are such a greedy person!"

Seeing that her face showed a little more vitality than usual because of that anger, Shen Shiqing smiled and said, "As soon as my sister left the palace, she even had a lot of strength in her hands."

Lin Miaozhen was a little embarrassed, leaned back and sat back.

Looking at the short jacket of indigo miscellaneous treasure folded branches and flowers on her body, Lin Miaozhen looked out of the car window again, and couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

Dressed as a servant outside the car, it was the four rats who were driving the car, and slowly all the way to the drunken fairy building, he hurriedly opened the curtain and asked the two nobles to get out of the car.

Shen Shiqing jumped down with her feet up, and turned around to pick up Lin Miaozhen, but saw that Lin Miaozhen's movements were neater than hers.

So he reached out to pick up the man's hand, turned back and touched his nose.

The emperor wanted to leave the palace, and the four rats were naturally arranged inside and out, and the little guy guarding the door of the drunken immortal building hurriedly greeted him, and he didn't say much, only led people upstairs.

But even if the group was silent, with Zhao Surui's handsomeness and Lin Miaozhen's brightness, it was impossible for the diners in the Drunken Immortal Building not to see them, and when the two of them went up, someone smiled and said, "When did there still be such a handsome pair of beautiful people in Yanjing City, and I don't know which young master just came back from outside."

"The little master of any family is not using it now." The blue-robed man at the same table with the man ate a bite of the crispy sesame meat that was fried in front of him, and his mouth clicked, "Uncle Guo's family is copying his own family, I heard that he will have to make up 300,000 taels of silver in two days, otherwise our big uncle will not be able to come out of Beizhen Fusi."

Speaking of this, the person who was still watching the handsome young man just now also laughed: "Uncle Guo's old accounts from more than ten years ago have been dug out, and I heard that the Gulou Street has been very peaceful recently."

Taiping? It's deserted, isn't it? Every family shrunk their necks, for fear that His Majesty's next knife would cut them down.

The two men touched their glasses and smiled tacitly.

On the elegant seat by the window on the second floor, as soon as Shen Shiqing and Lin Miaozhen sat down, they ran to the hall and brought hot clear sheep soup, and the aroma of coriander, green onions and pepper went straight to people's noses.

Lin Miaozhen took a sip of the soup and said with a smile, "The taste is cleaner than that in the palace."

Hearing her say this, Shen Shiqing smiled: "The food in the palace must be beautiful and expensive enough, where is it for people to eat, it is almost the same as a tribute."

Lin Miaozhen was almost choked by the soup, put down the soup bowl and pointed at "Zhao Surui" and scolded with a smile: "As the king of a country, don't you eat tribute everywhere?" ….

Shen Shiqing was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

That's right, when you think about it this way, being an emperor is not a person in the first place.

The roast mutton of Zuixianlou and their mutton soup are as prominent as the deliciousness of the mutton itself, obviously in the palace as soon as autumn begins to eat mutton, Lin Miaozhen finished gnawing a piece of lamb ribs that are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and still dripping with juice, and saw that "Zhao Surui" asked the four rats to ask for two more roast sheep to share with the guards who came out, and then left two lamb legs to go back to one chicken and three cats.

"A few days ago, I went out of the palace and met a friend, and he told me that the roast mutton in this Drunken Immortal Mansion is good, and the almond tea is also good." Shen Shiqing said, picked up the small red copper pot in his hand and poured a bowl for Lin Miaozhen.

Lin Miaozhen held the almond tea and said, "It's mutton soup and almond tea, I can see it, you just don't want me to drink."

"Drinking hurts your body, and if you can't drink it, you won't drink it." Shen Shiqing is not at all

The embarrassment was not exposed, and the flesh of the sheep's cheek was shaved with a silver-handled knife and put it on Lin Miaozhen's plate, "Besides, how are we still walking around this street after you finish drinking?"

Can you even go shopping?

Lin Miaozhen's eyes widened, she thought that "Zhao Surui" took her out just to go out of the palace to have a meal, and then go to Xiyuan to enjoy the scenery and relax, but she never expected that she could really walk around the street.

"You said it earlier! I'll change into a pair of light shoes, no, *** why still wear this verbose skirt? Just wear a round-neck robe or a flying fish suit, like you. Since we're going to go out, we have to look like we're going to shop, did that friend of yours say anything about the delicious and fun in Yanjing City?"

I heard that I was going to go shopping, even if I had been a queen for seven years, Lin Miaozhen still revealed some of the desire and freshness of a young woman.

Shen Shiqing took a bite of mutton and recalled what Ming Ruoshui had said: "He didn't say anything, we chatted for less than an hour, except for this drunken immortal building, there are several bookstores in Yanjing City."

As soon as she heard about the bookstore, Lin Miaozhen suddenly lost interest and concentrated on eating meat.

Shen Shiqing was a little speechless for a while, worthy of being a close sister and brother, the queen's unlearned appearance is really similar to His Majesty the Emperor.

Thinking like this, Shen Shiqing couldn't help but shake her head and said helplessly:

"Then let's go to the Treasure Building to have a look, sister, you can take whatever you like."

When Lin Miaozhen heard this, she was happy again, and she took a bowl of almond tea and poured it as wine, and her sitting posture became more and more heroic.

"By the way, who is that friend you're talking about? I remember that you used to disdain to associate with people, and you could curse people with just a few words of conversation, and you could even treat others as friends?"

Speaking of Zhao Surui's childhood, Lin Miaozhen's eyes were full of smiles, her younger brother has been unruly since he was a child, but he is also smart, not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but even the books of Westerners from overseas He can understand them after a little study, but unfortunately he is really impatient, today I understood it for a few days and then forgot, it is the same when I get along with people, plus a noble identity, which makes everyone tremble, and no one knows which sentence can make him angry.

Even Lin Miaozhen was not less angry with Zhao Surui, but Lin Miaozhen was in her early teens at that time, but she was a little taller than Zhao Surui, who was one year younger than herself, and she couldn't bear it, Lin Miaozhen did something. ….

- She took advantage of Zhao Surui's temperament in the West Garden to shake off the eunuchs, and pressed Zhao Surui to the ground and beat him firmly.

Two thumb-thick sticks, she used to "snap and pop" Zhao Surui's ass.

When the anger went up, she hit the prince of the dynasty, and as soon as the anger disappeared, Lin Miaozhen felt that she couldn't stay in the palace anymore, and she might be given death if she beat the prince, and went back to her residence, she cleaned up her salute with red eyes, thinking that she would not apologize to the arrogant second prince even if she died, but she never thought that she waited day after day, but she only waited for everything to be as usual.

The second prince, who was looking at the sky with his nostrils and scolding rubbish, saw her and snorted and chirped a foot away.

Thinking of Zhao Surui at that time, Lin Miaozhen wiped her hands with a handkerchief, smiling while wiping.

Shen Shiqing thought for a while and said: "That person's name is Ming Ruoshui, he is the head of the criminal department, I checked, this person is the perch of the seventeenth year of Ming Kang, the first emperor let him watch the government in the Ministry of Industry, and the old Fang Ge also valued him very much, but unfortunately he offended Zhang Play in the second year, and returned to his hometown due to illness, plus his mother died, he did not return to the dynasty until the fifth year of Zhaode, Zhang Play was gone, and Fang Ge Lao also told the old, he entered the Criminal Department and began to sort out the matter of the lawsuit over the years, Yang Zhai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, attached great importance to him, and he became the head of the Criminal Department to go out of Beijing to inspect the lawsuit. Yang Shangshu also recommended him to go to the Xuanfu to cooperate in the suppression of bandits."

While she was talking, Lin Miaozhen had already heroically picked up the sheep's backbone and began to gnaw, swallowing the tender meat in her mouth, she said:

"Isn't the Xuanfu suppression of bandits a recent thing? Then how can you still get to know him in Yanjing?"

"Wanquan Si Zhang Yong has a grudge against a family surnamed Han in Xuanfu, taking advantage of the bandits to say that the Han family colluded with the mountain bandits, Ming Ruoshui tried to rescue the Han family after the investigation, Zhang Yong sued Ming Ruoshui and the bandits for colluding to accept bribes, Ming Ruoshui

simply returned to Yanjing and resigned pending trial. I have already sent Jinyi Wei to investigate the matter of Wanquan Dusi, Xuanfu is close to Yanjing, and there will probably be news in the past two days."

Shen Shiqing slowly and methodically tore the meat on a lamb bone into strips and put it in a bowl, and poured the special sauce on it to eat the meat with chopsticks one bite at a time, but it was much more gentle than Lin Miaozhen looking.

Probably because outside the palace, the string that had been tense in her heart was loosened, and Lin Miaozhen didn't care about anything when she spoke, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", after listening to what Zhao Surui said, she said with a smile:

"Since Ming Ruoshui is such a talent, and he has made great achievements in the Criminal Department, he can make some achievements in clearing the deficit of Taifu Temple."

"That's exactly what I think, and some people have recommended Ming Ruoshui to me." Shen Shiqing felt that there was nothing that he couldn't say to Lin Miaozhen, "Ming Ruoshui's talent is not only in litigation and prison affairs, his home is in Dongyang, not far from the coastal line, he often went to the coast in the past few years, and he also has some insight in the matter of rectifying pirates and pirates. It's just that before using him, I have to sort out the matter of the Xuanfu bandits, and if Zhang Yong is not available, I have to choose another person to replace him."

This is also the most difficult place, Shen Shiqing must admit that in internal affairs, finances and other matters, she can grasp the general situation by gnawing and arithmetic, and make decisions in the suggestions of the ministers, but the deployment of troops and generals has to test a monarch's grasp and vision of the court, and also have insight into the ministers, which must be made up by time. ….

"Gee, that sounds like a nuisance, too." Lin Miaozhen "purred" and sucked the bone marrow in the sheep's bones: "Wanquan has jurisdiction over eleven guards and seven thousand households, Zhang Yong has been sitting in this position for ten years, if you take him out, you have to have a person who can serve the people with prestige, qualifications, and merits so that the hearts of people everywhere will not fluctuate, you will also fight Moxi next year, in order to prevent the Duqin Department of Mobei from taking the opportunity to attack the capital, you must also find an extremely reliable person to serve as the commander of Wanquan Dusi."

Putting aside the sheep bones that had been gnawed clean, Lin Miaozhen stared at another piece of sheep backbone with bone marrow, and said in her mouth:

"What do you think of General Cai? Although he was opposed to you sending troops to the Duqin Department before, but you relieved him of military power and only let him serve in front of the army, and he was also loyal to his duty, although he was sick last year, and he was also squeezed by those young generals you newly promoted, I think it would be better for him to have such a safe person in Wanquan Dusi."

When Lin Miaozhen spoke, Shen Shiqing had already raised her head to look at her.

The bright sun shone on the rhombic lattice window beside Lin Miaozhen, and the glow was white, illuminating this happy woman like a fairy who had been hungry in the sky for seven hundred years and could finally go down to earth to have a full meal.

If there was a mirror in front of Shen Shiqing, she would definitely be surprised that she looked at Lin Miaozhen's eyes at this time—it was like a treasure.

"Sister Lin."

"Huh? Next time, let's go eat something else when we leave the palace."

"Next time?"

"Nature." Shen Shiqing smiled, "As long as I'm still here, I'll always take Sister Lin out to play."

Lin Miaozhen looked at the handsome and extraordinary "Zhao Surui", but her heart suddenly moved.

————

The bell rang for the second watch, and Shen Shiqing heard someone's voice come as promised.

"Shen Sanru! I heard you locked up one of my uncles?"

"Your Majesty's news outside the palace is not smooth, and the courtiers also scolded the Queen Mother, and by the way, they pulled out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Queen Mother."

Under the lamp, Shen Shiqing smiled.

In an instant, her heart became quiet.
