At one o'clock in the afternoon, the queen got up and drove to the imperial garden.

The shoulders are decorated with gold and copper, hanging azure curtains, brocade decorations, pearl curtains, and there are palace people on both sides with the queen's palm fan to cover them, and there are palace people holding silk lanterns in front to lead the way.

If it is said that the queen mother is extraordinary just now, at this moment, she is like a fairy concubine, gold and jade.

The bamboo sedan chair of Cheng Yuguan and the fourth prince Li Mian followed the queen's shoulder.

The Cheng family followed closely behind, and they were also given a sedan chair by the queen.

"The rules of identity cannot be crossed, this prince is still a smart person, how can you be so impulsive, you want to succeed. If it is a good family, forget it, and even succeed civilians. If your plan is exposed early, this prince believes that your journey to Beijing will be smooth, and no one will harm you, but it will be too late to take care of you. ”

The bamboo sedan chair of the fourth prince Li Mian came to Cheng Yuguan's side at some point, he spoke like this, and he did not hide it, Cheng Yuguan turned around and looked at the Cheng family, she believed that the people behind the voice of the fourth prince would definitely be able to hear it.

Sure enough, it was the prince, and he spoke with confidence. Behind him, Cheng Hou and the old lady were side by side, not knowing what they were talking about, and their faces were a little strange.

Cheng Yuguan no longer paid attention to his back, and turned to look at the fourth prince, Li Mian.

"Don't the four princes know either?"

Cheng Yuguan was puzzled.

"Know what?"

"My cousin inherited the title of General Kamui, so I am not a commoner under the name of my uncle Tsugamu."

Cheng Yuguan replied.

Before she set off, she mentioned the matter of leaving her uncle for the first time, and her uncle said for the first time that he also had a title.

She used to be the same as the four princes, she also thought that she was wrapped in coarse cloth all day long, and she only knew that the uncle who trained the eldest middle school was a commoner.

Li Mian looked stunned, recalled for a moment, and then turned out his memory from the corner of his head.

It seems that when Daqian was first established, the Cheng family was indeed a family of two brothers, and their military exploits were enough to seal the marquis. However, in this way, even the eminent is more than the royal family. The boss of the Cheng family retreated bravely, saying that he only loved the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, taught his children, and farmed and raised chickens, so he only named an idle lord who would never be demoted to the rank of Shenwei general, and obtained the qualification of not having to serve in the conscription, and left the capital.

Over time, the dignitaries in the capital gathered, and everyone forgot that in the remote Cangzhou Mansion, there was a title that was neither high nor low.

Li Mian suddenly looked at Cheng Yuguan, "I see, in this way, even if it is not a super-grade marquis mansion, the name of the daughter of a first-class Shenwei general is not bad." ”

Cheng Yuguan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but he didn't explain, this title was proposed by her uncle, and she saw that she had made up her mind.

In other words, she is trying not to have a so-called class identity, become a commoner, and dissociate herself from Cheng Hou's family.

Cheng Yuguan is a human being in two lives, and naturally knows that an indifferent family will only bring endless consumption, stop losses in time, even if she loses her so-called identity and future, Cheng Yuguan feels that with her own ability and opinions, she will not eat chaff.

If she wants a future, she will earn it herself. What's more, Chengjia Village, Cangzhou Prefecture, is not the desolate and barbaric that the people of the capital think, there is a world of its own.

However, none of this is a foreigner, otherwise, it is just a sideshow.

"So, you've already made up your mind to succeed?"

Li Mian asked Cheng Yuguan solemnly, and Cheng Yuguan also nodded solemnly, "That's true, I entered Beijing this time, and this matter is one of the purposes." ”

Li Mian nodded, and said curiously, "What is the second purpose?" ”

Cheng Yuguan was stunned, suffocated, didn't say much, only smiled at the four princes, and perfunctory.

Li Mian saw that Cheng Yuguan was selling Guanzi, so he didn't ask too much.

Stop.

The two chatted a few words, but the Cheng family behind them saw it in their eyes and was anxious.

Cheng Yulou looked at the Yang family beside him, "Mother, when did the eldest sister become so familiar with the fourth prince, could it be that she would rather go out of her way than make peace for me, is it because she has the idea of clinging?" ”

Cheng Yulou was younger, he couldn't suppress his thoughts, and when he saw the two people in front of him being "intimate", he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Yang's eyes suppressed Cheng Yulou, who was a little flustered, "Yulou, don't think nonsense, after you return home, your mother will plan for you." ”

The mother and daughter spoke, and in front, the old lady and Cheng Hou's mother and son were much more stable, and when they saw the four princes condescending to Cheng Yuguan talking, they did not mess up.

They know how proud the Four Princes are, not to mention a country woman, who is the daughter of the Yasukuni Gong, who is known as the first talented woman in Kyoto, and he has never taken it seriously. Otherwise, it will not be too old to have a weak crown and have not yet decided on a marriage.

High or low, the two of them know very well in their hearts.

…

Walking to the Imperial Garden, it has already been lit up and the crowd is surging.

In front of the queen one after another, Cheng Yuguan followed the queen and accepted everyone's salute sideways.

The queen pulled Cheng Yuguan, followed by the four princes and Cheng Hou's family, and walked to the main seat in the eyes of everyone.

"The Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet is for everyone to have a lively time. After a while, there will be colorful boat singing and dancing acrobatics, and then we will eat and watch together. ”

Cheng Yuguan found out that this place of lights was not the home field, and he followed the queen to go out to the flowers and trees, and went to the pavilion and pavilion in the center of the lake on the wooden corridor, which was the right place.

On the platform here, the seats have already been distributed.

Cheng Yuguan was pulled by the queen, followed by the queen, and sat in the second row, alongside the four princes.

In front of the pavilion, the colorful boats gathered, and the singing and dancing acrobatics were all on the stage.

Cheng Yuguan's eyes almost widened, looking at the colorful boat in the water in front of her, the palace people above were fluttering, raising people's eyeballs, she was fascinated for a while, and she couldn't take her eyes off.

"Fry this cherry to Miss Cheng Yuguan Cheng, start appetizing first, save a while and lose your soul, and eat it hurts your spleen and stomach."

Li Mian's not so small voice came, and was called by name, Cheng Yuguan came back to his senses, and looked at the four princes reflexively, only to see that the palace people were bringing over a plate of crimson and tempting cherry fried, Cheng Yuguan subconsciously took it and thanked him, but in the next second, he felt the countless eyes in front of him and behind him, converging on him.

The feeling of being like a man on his back made Cheng Yuguan subconsciously shrink his shoulders.

She pretended to look around casually, some curious, some scrutinizing, and some with malice.

"Come, this baiwei soup is a specialty dish of the Shang Food Bureau, you can also try it."

Cheng Yuguan was puzzled, why he was so dazzling, and in the next second, with the spicy soup sent by the four princes, the eyes that gathered on him became even more intense, and Cheng Yuguan was a little surprised, it turned out that the initiator was here.

Cheng Yuguan looked at the four princes, only to see that his always cold face showed a trace of kindness, personally holding a celadon bowl, slender fingers, and thin wrists, and personally sent Cheng Yuguan to the table from an arm's length, not only behind him, but also the queen mother in front of him looked sideways.

"Mian'er did the right thing, this is Aunt Huo's daughter, your sister Yuguan. I have the same temperament as your Aunt Huo, and we are like sisters, and you brothers and sisters should be closer to each other. ”

The queen nodded with a smile, but Cheng Yuguan felt that her gaze was even heavier, and she could hardly bear it.

"Yuguan is new to the capital, so I naturally have to take care of it more."

The fourth prince, Li Mian, nodded calmly.

I don't know it, I think he has always been so kind.

But who here doesn't know that the four princes have always been dustless, and idlers can't get in and out of sight, so Cheng Yuguan, who was made an exception, has attracted much attention.

Under the pressure from all sides, Cheng Yuguan also smiled at the queen mother, "The fourth prince and my second cousin are the same age, just like my own brother, Yuguan respects the four princes, and is naturally willing to have more dealings with the four princes." ”

When the queen heard the two of them say this, she nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and laughed with several duchesses on the side.

Cheng Yuguan said "brother pro" out, felt the gaze on his body become soft, and finally breathed a sigh.

I see.

These eyes are indeed because of the four princes.

Picking up the ice cheese in front of him, Cheng Yuguan personally leaned over and sent it to Li Mian's table.

"The four princes are gracious, and Yuguan has nothing to repay, so he can only borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Today's weather is a little hot and dry, and the four princes eat more ice cheese to relieve the heat. ”

On the way back to Beijing from the north, Cheng Yuguan had never seen Li Mian eat ice and sweet, and he didn't even touch this dairy product.

This ice cheese was Cheng Yuguan thanked the four princes for pulling hatred for her.

Li Mian watched the ice cheese fall on the table, looked at Cheng Yuguan, knowing that she had understood what she was doing, the two looked at each other and smiled, looking at the harmony, but the palace maid behind the table always felt a little cold.

…

The Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet is very simple compared to the Qingming cold food a few days ago.

After eating, you can go to various places in the garden.

Everyone gathers to hang colorful ropes under the flowers and trees in the imperial garden to pray for blessings, or in the pavilions and pavilions everywhere, hiding from the sun, weaving colorful purses together, and chatting together.

Cheng Yulou was no longer angry under the appeasement of the Yang family, and he had already made an appointment with his friends to play elsewhere.

At this time, on the top of the pavilion, only some elders were left to gossip together.

"This year, the Huo family has also returned to the court, I heard that the Huo Mansion has been cleaned up, and the Huo family and female dependents on the road are about to arrive in the capital. Poor my old sister, since her daughter left, she has not returned to Beijing for many years. When I come back this time, I must have a good feast. ”

The queen listened to the Duchess beside her talk about the Huo family's return to the dynasty, and looked back at Cheng Yuguan.

But he saw Cheng Yuguan fiddling with the jade pendant on his waist, as if he hadn't heard the Huo family that the Duchess just talked about.

The queen then looked at the four princes on the side.

"Mian'er, don't you have to take care of Yuguan more? When we elders speak, Yuguan must feel bored when he listens, you take Yuguan to walk around the Imperial Garden and relax. ”

The fourth prince, who was listening to the song with his eyes closed, was disturbed coldly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the gaze of the queen mother and Cheng Yuguan.

"Okay," Li Mian got up, dusted off his robe slightly, and looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Let's go, look at the sweetness you just ate, and take you to the Ninghui Palace, where there is the imperial kitchen, and the Shangshi Bureau is not far away." ”

Cheng Yuguan was puzzled, and didn't understand what the fourth prince meant in his words, but the queen pursed her lips and smiled, "It's very promoted." ”

said and looked at Cheng Yuguan with a smile, "Let's go with your brother Mian, you have to live in the palace for a long time, and it is good to be familiar with the palace." ”

Hearing the queen say "Brother Mian", Cheng Yuguan almost wanted to shake the goosebumps on his body.

She endured it and got up obediently, "Listen to Aunt Queen." ”

The two of them were sent away as if they were sent away by adults, and they were sent out like children who were not allowed to listen to the gossip between adults.

The imperial garden was in the north, but Li Mian took Cheng Yuguan to the south, as if he was really going to the Ninghui Palace, which was not far from the imperial dining room.

"How is the Huo family? Why doesn't Aunt Queen want me to hear it? ”

After a while, Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but ask.

Li Mian, who was walking straight ahead, paused and turned around, "What is your grandma planning, why don't you tell you anything?" ”

Li Mian said a little impatiently and with some doubts.

Cheng Yuguan walked a few steps and followed the four princes, "Grandma said that human feelings are complicated, and it is useless to say more, it is my luck that I can live in Chengjia Village, if I return to Beijing one day, I will have my own eyes and look at it with my heart." ”

Li Mian sighed lightly, "You are really pitiful." ”

Like Cheng Yuguan, her mother died early, her father didn't like it, even her grandmother hated the house and Wu, she was somewhat resentful of her, and she didn't want to pay more feelings and effort.

Thinking of this, Li Mian's slight impatience dissipated.

"What?"

Cheng Yuguan didn't hear Li Mian's words, and opened his eyes wide to listen carefully.

Cheng Yuguan's eyes are pitch black, black and white, so although she is blank about the capital, her own family, and her grandfather's family, she has to ask others everything, and piece together the truth from the clues leaked from other people's mouths, but she doesn't know how stupid, she just looks innocent and pitiful.

Looking at this pair of clear eyes looking at him with curiosity, Li Mian "tsk" and stretched out a finger to push the head in front of him away.

"What kind of treasure? Walk well. ”

After Cheng Yuguan stood up straight, Li Mian spoke and talked about the Huo family.

"The Huo family has a straight temper, when your mother insisted on marrying Cheng Hou, it caused your grandparents to be unhappy, and then the end was desolate, your grandparents were even more angry and hateful, after sending your mother away, the whole family went to the border in a fit of anger, away from the court. For more than ten years, I have had enough of the hardships in remote places, and finally have the opportunity to come back. They first sent their lieutenant general back to Beijing to return to the capital, and the Huo family could then arrive in the capital. People in Beijing, I'm afraid there are those who watch good shows, there are those who really welcome them, and there are those who are not salty or light. Your temper is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. I'm afraid I also have a collision with the Huo family. But don't go to your heart, it's all straight-tempered, without those twists and turns, it's good after a long time. ”

Li Mian is to the point.

Cheng Yuguan listened and nodded.

Except for Li Mian, no one in the capital of Nuoda will put himself in her shoes to analyze the Huo family like him.

Cheng family, Cheng Yuguan will not ask. Because the Huo family in their mouth has prejudices, Cheng Yuguan is afraid that he will be influenced by the Cheng family and have preconceived ideas, so in the Cheng family these days, Cheng Yuguan has not asked anyone about the Huo family.

Now, I finally know why the Huo family has been silent.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Yuguan looked at the fourth prince and said, "Thank you." ”

The four princes waved their hands and strode forward.

The bluestone paving, the city wall is towering, in this long corridor, only two people in front of the other, the Dragon Boat Festival with a trace of hot and poisonous sunlight sprinkled, but Cheng Yuguan felt that this strict and cold inner courtyard of the palace seemed to have a warm and down-to-earth feeling.
