Chapter 21: Go out of the palace and play
Queen Wen looked at the small interaction between the two little guys with a smile on her face, and her care for her heart and her carefree little appearance were so good.
"What are you looking at?" Emperor Yan couldn't help but ask out loud when he saw Empress Wen distracted in one direction.
"Your Majesty, you look at Shen Zhi and Xinxin, the concubines seem to see the young Your Majesty and herself, and we were as close as them at the beginning." Empress Wen's smile was not as soft as her eyes, but Emperor Yan felt a strong sense of irony from it.
Emperor Yan knew that she was too deep in her heart, but she didn't know how to persuade her to change her opinion of herself, so she could only call her with a complicated face, "Wan'er..."
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, the concubine just feels it."
"By the way, Your Majesty, it's rare for Concubine De to come out today, you have to take good care of her."
Empress Wen didn't like Emperor Yan to stay on herself, and instead led the topic to Concubine De, who had always lived in a simple place.
Concubine De is also Emperor Yan's favorite concubine before Concubine Xian, looking at Yan Chi's age, she is only two years younger than Yan Huai, you can know how much this Concubine De was favored at the beginning.
Sure enough, Emperor Yan's eyes quickly shifted to Concubine De's mother and son, and Empress Wen didn't care at all, the emperor's favor was just a shackle for her, so it was better to give it to those who needed it.
The banquet was also over when it was over, and the courtiers led their respective rituals out of the palace to return to the house, and after greeting Queen Wen, they pulled Yan Huai is whole 100-meter sprint towards the direction of the East Palace.
Concubine Xian, who had been silent for several days, finally successfully intercepted Emperor Yan, who was supposed to stay in Empress Wen's palace, into her palace.
In this regard, Empress Wen did not have the slightest anger, where Emperor Yan liked to go was his freedom, and what did it have to do with her.
And when she returned to the East Palace, she hurriedly asked Tsing Yi to change her clothes, for fear that if she was slow for a second, she would delay the time for her to go out of the palace to play.
I disliked Tsing Yi's movements too slowly, and I wanted to wear it myself in a hurry, but I ended up wearing it backwards.
"Miss Xinxin, don't worry, Your Highness is waiting for you outside." Tsing Yi could only untie her dead knotted clothes and dress her again.
Put on a robe and tie her belt, and put on a cute little snowball hair ornament, and before Tsing Yi could praise her, she rushed out of the dormitory impatiently.
Pulling Yan Huai was about to rush out of the palace in a 100-meter sprint, Yan Huai reached out and gently pressed her little neck, which immediately made the little girl unable to move.
"Ahhh Yan Shenzhi, what are you doing! Let's hurry up! If you're late, you won't have to play! "I wanted to hit him in a huff.
Yan Huai reached out and held her messy little fist in his hand, and led her unhurriedly towards the carriage parked outside the palace gate.
This time out of the palace only with Tsing Yi and Chasing the Wind, Chasing Cloud is responsible for taking the heavenly guards to protect in the dark.
got into the carriage, and Yuan Yuan was like a lark about to fly out of the cage, pulling Yan Huai to chirp non-stop.
"Yan Shenzhi, have you ever eaten a sugar gourd?"
"Yan Shenzhi, have you ever played fishing for small fish?"
"Yan Shenzhi, have you ever let go of the Wishing River Lantern?"
"Yan Shenzhi, have you ever eaten roast suckling pig? It's delicious! It's crunchy, wow, I'll be sure to eat more later! ”
Every sentence is inseparable from Yan Shenzhi, and every sentence is inseparable from eating, drinking and having fun.
Yan Huai didn't let her talk to herself as much as usual, but was willing to accompany her to say those fun things.
"When I was a child, I used to go out of the palace with my mother, and there were fire-breathing rings on the street, as well as animal performances, lions jumping fire rings, bears kicking balls, and monkeys pulling carts." Yan Huai's childhood was also freewheeling, but after Empress Wen fell ill, he no longer had the leisure to have fun.
Listening to what he said, he asked curiously, "Will there really be an animal show?" Why have I never seen one? ”
"I remember that these circuses are of Gentile origin, and they are not common." He also happened to encounter a foreign caravan passing through Yanjing that year, otherwise he really wouldn't have had a chance to see it.
"Okay, then when I grow up, Yan Shenzhi, you can take me to a foreign country to watch animal shows, okay?" Yuan Yuan looked at him with a longing face, who doesn't want to see (go) know (play) for a long time?
"I'll talk about it when you're older." Yan Huai opened his mouth and gave the little girl a blank check, there are still ten years before she wants to grow up, and no one dares to make a conclusion about the variables in these ten years.
After walking for two quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped at Suzaku Street, the most prosperous street in Yanjing.
I was willing to get out of the carriage in a hurry, but if it wasn't for Yan Huai to lead her, I am afraid that she would have already rampaged towards the crowd like a wild horse.
Yuan Yuan pulled Yan Huai and went straight to the mask stall, picked up the masks of a little rabbit and a little tiger and put them on his and Yan Huai's faces.
Oh, she was too short to reach Yan Huai's face, so she stuffed it into his hand and motioned for him to wear it.
Tsing Yi asked the little girl curiously, "Miss Xinxin, why are you a rabbit mask, but Childe is a tiger mask?" ”
Of course, I have my own set of explanations, "I'm so cute, of course I'm wearing a bunny mask!" You see Yan Shenzhi is fierce all day long, more terrifying than a tiger! How suitable the mask of the big tiger is for him! ”
"And Yan Shenzhi can protect me like a big tiger, I like a big tiger!"
Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the little girl's words of first suppressing and then rising, but she saw with her own eyes that His Royal Highness said that he was as terrible as a big tiger when Miss Xinxin said that he was as terrible as a big tiger, His Royal Highness's face was very ugly, but fortunately, the little ancestor made up for himself at the end.
The little girl didn't pay attention to Yan Huai's mood changes at all, and pulled him towards the sugar gourd, "Yan Shenzhi look!" What a big sugar gourd! ”
Today's sugar gourd is more than twice as big as usual, and it is the size of a small fist as originally wished.
Originally, as long as there was a string, there would be three small fist sugar gourds on that string, and she would definitely not be able to eat them herself, but there were four of them, and three sugar gourds were not enough.
So the little girl gave priority to Yan Shenzhi and asked his opinion first, "Yan Shenzhi, do you want to eat sugar gourd?" As he spoke, he shook the gourd string in his hand.
Yan Huai didn't think much about it, just thought that the little girl wanted to buy more bunches, but eating too much sweet and sour was not good for her teeth, and he didn't want her to eat more, so he refused, "No need, you eat it yourself." ”
Yuan Yuan looked at the expression on his face carefully, and really didn't want to eat, so she was welcome ^_^
Turned around and pointed to the sugar gourd and said to Tsing Yi and Chasing the Wind, "Tsing Yi Chasing the Wind, Yan Shenzhi doesn't eat it, we just have one each!" ”
"......" Tsing Yi and Chaifeng didn't dare to look at Yuan Yuan's face, and it must be ugly without guessing.
Little ancestor, can you have a snack! Even if Your Highness doesn't eat it, don't just take His Highness out in public!
Yuan Yuan was a person who had no eyesight, but when he saw that neither of them answered him, he thought they didn't like it either, so he persuaded him repeatedly, "Let's have one each, okay?" This sugar gourd is too big, I only need one, otherwise I won't be able to eat anything else later! ”
After speaking, he pulled down Yan Huai's sleeve, and his smart eyes were begging, signaling him to speak.
Yan Huai glanced at the sugar gourd in her hand, glanced at the two of them, and motioned for them to accept.
"Thank you, Miss Xinxin." How dare Tsing Yi and Chasing the Wind disobey, His Royal Highness agreed, and they followed.
