Chapter XXIV: Disposition
The fourth prince Li Mian, a famous iron-masked prince in the capital.
Seeing the four princes striding over, where was the arrogance of the county lord of Fucheng just now, he put his hands behind his back, and hid behind the five princes with a few little sisters.
Just like a bear child, when he sees the elders in the family, or other people who have the ability to control themselves, they obediently shrink aside. If no one else can take care of it, they will start to show their teeth and claws.
Cheng Yuguan was the opposite, she walked towards Li Mian, as if she had seen a savior.
Behind Li Mian, Mei Ling appeared and blinked at Cheng Yuguan, it turned out that she had just run out of Jiacheng and ran into Li Mian, the fourth prince who was going to the previous dynasty.
Li Mian knew that Mei Ling was the person who followed her mother, and after seeing her panicked and asking the reason, he rushed to Jiacheng Yongdao.
He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and although he has a noble status, he has even studied with several princes and princesses like him, and he has also seen bullying by his peers.
He knew that he had been wronged in front of him in the palace, and after he went back, he might not be able to get this grievance back. Each of them is not low, is it possible that their own children have been wronged, and a few county princesses and palace concubines can fight or find other children to fight back? So I can only find the field by myself, or accept the guards arranged by my parents to follow me at any time.
Cheng Yu was out of Fengyi Palace, and it was predictable that he would be bullied after being alone.
Li Mian walked a few steps closely, and after seeing the situation clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I came in time and was not bullied, as long as I didn't suffer.
Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian looked at each other, neither of them spoke, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Cheng Yuguan followed straight behind Li Mian and smiled at Mei Ling.
Li Mian walked straight to the Five Princes and the Lord of Fucheng.
"It's getting more and more promising, and I know how to block people."
The eyes of the four princes were majestic, and they didn't dare to raise their heads when they saw several noble girls.
The fifth prince stepped forward and blocked the fourth prince's gaze, "Fourth brother, the girls are just joking." As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, in the future, Miss Cheng will often be in the palace, don't just be bored in Fengyi Palace, you can find a few Fucheng to play. Girls, make a few girlfriends, and have a playmate to relieve boredom in the future. ”
The five princes have one mouth, and the girls are playing.
"Yuguan, you say."
Li Mian glanced at the five princes in front of him, turned his head and asked Cheng Yuguan behind him.
Cheng Yuguan exposed half of his body from behind Li Mian, met the threatening and suggestive gaze of the county lord of Fucheng, and said directly, "Just now the county lord of Fucheng said that she respected the county lord and would beat and punish the courtiers, and the courtiers could only bear it. There is a difference between respect and inferiority, and the courtiers dare not disobey, but just be a playmate with the county lord of Fucheng, the courtiers are afraid that they will suffer if they don't know when they will make the county lord unhappy. ”
When Cheng Yuguan complained, his mouth was very neat, and he still looked silent to the county lord of Fucheng just now.
"Oh?" When Li Mian heard this, he looked at Li Ke in front of him, "Fifth brother is so protective of Fucheng, do you think she did the right thing?" Well, His Royal Highness, as the fourth prince, is respected as the elder, you and Fucheng, do you also have to let me punish you? ”
The fifth prince paused in place for a moment and turned sideways to avoid it.
At this moment, Fucheng was completely exposed to the eyes of the fourth prince Li Mian.
Fu Cheng couldn't help but shudder, and looked at Li Mian carefully, "Fourth Highness, it's just a joke." And I didn't have time to punish her just now, but let her flip my shoulder, and it hurt me so much when I fell. You see, here's the proof! ”
Lord Fucheng stretched out his hand, and two beads were impressively in the palm of his hand.
When Li Mian saw the beads, he didn't know the reason, it was the fifth prince who came to find the field.
Li Mian picked up the bead and held it up in front of him, "I acted inappropriately, I was attacked back, and I didn't know how to reflect and get back to the field." The rules and decency are gone, and there is still a face shouting here. ”
Li Mian said mercilessly, the face of the fifth prince who had been smiling could no longer hold back the smile and turned cold, and Fu Cheng's eyes were even more embarrassed.
"Fucheng, you are so high-flying, and the queen mother has a gentle temper, I'm afraid I can't teach you this temperament, so let's pack up and go home in a while."
was expelled from the palace, the dignity of the noble girl was swept away, Fucheng couldn't bear it anymore, glared at Cheng Yuguan with hatred, turned his head and ran away.
Seeing this, Qi Lianhua also hurriedly chased after him and got out, and the palace people followed behind the county lord of Fucheng early, carrying their shoulders and disappearing into the Jiacheng Yongdao.
For a time, in the city, only the four princes and the five princes still had Cheng Yuguan, and Mei Ling stayed in place.
"The fourth brother is busy in Jingling Palace on weekdays, but today he is so leisurely, and he still has the kung fu to save the beauty of the harem heroes."
The four princes have been keen and studious since childhood, and they are meticulous and keen, and they act decisively, so before they were crowned, they were often taught by the emperor.
After the daily court meeting, the four princes were busy in Jingling Palace, and rarely entered the harem early or late.
"The fifth brother is not young now, don't spend all day in Taixue, it's right to get errands earlier, and the province has nothing to do every day, and come forward to break the lawsuit for the little girls."
The fifth prince has not yet reached the age of the weak crown, and in Taixue, many family members and students are around him, mixing up the name of a Confucian prince, as for the errand, he is picky and picky, and he is not particularly concerned.
The two of them didn't speculate, no one let them, the five princes bowed their hands and took the lead in saying goodbye, and before leaving, their eyes slid over Cheng Yuguan, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go, aren't you going to Ninghui Palace?"
Seeing that everyone was gone, the fourth prince said.
Cheng Yuguan nodded, "Yes, I've been delayed for a while, and I don't know if I haven't had time to see the scenery." ”
The two of them stepped forward, Li Mian looked at Cheng Yuguan with an excited expression, and couldn't help asking, "What scene?" Didn't you go to Ninghui Hall to read a book? ”
Cheng Yuguan shared with some pride, "I'm afraid you didn't look at it from the pavilion floor of Ninghui Palace." Every day, someone will drive pigs into the city from the far south gate. There are tens of thousands of heads, and only a dozen people are rushing, and there is no chaos at all. It is worthy of the capital, not to mention that people are full of talents, even pigs know the rules. ”
Cheng Yuguan sighed.
There were really many talented people in the ancients. Cheng Yuguan in the capital doesn't know much, and in Chengjia Village, people have been engaged in the same occupation as their ancestors for generations, so the skills are very clear.
For example, the Cheng family in Chengjia Village has been practicing martial arts for generations, and one day they will be ready-made elite soldiers on the battlefield.
Another example is the stonemason near Chengjia Village, who glances at the boulder and knows how hard the stone is, whether it can pave the road or build the wall.
Now what Cheng Yuguan admires the most is the pig butcher at the south gate, if he doesn't have decades of experience, how can a dozen people catch up with 10,000 pigs without any chaos?
Cheng Yuguan said sincerely, but Li Mian couldn't help but smile, "If you don't know anything, I'll take you to the outside of the palace another day, there are many craftsmen in the capital, so you can open your eyes." ”
Cheng Yuguan was naturally pleasantly surprised, clapping his hands, but he was still a little hesitant, "I'm in the palace, can I come and go at will?" Will the queen be embarrassed? ”
Li Mianqi said, "You are not a palace concubine, why can't you enter and leave the palace?" There is a palace ban in the palace, so you can just enter and leave on time. It's just that you are not familiar with the place, and the queen mother is not at ease. With me with me, the queen mother will not let her go. ”
Cheng Yuguan didn't expect this unexpected joy, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.
I saw her rubbing her hands and smiling, "How is this good, it's really troublesome Fourth Brother." ”
is funny and "obscene", so Li Mian can't bear to look at it.
"Don't be happy too early, let's read a book first, take you out of the palace, I have to wait until I am free."
"Naturally, naturally, I'm not in a hurry, look at the time of the fourth brother."
Cheng Yuguan hurriedly said.
Behind the two, Mei Ling wanted to speak several times, but she didn't have a chance to interject.
In the middle of the road, the fourth prince said that he would bring Cheng Yuguan to Ninghui Palace, and Mei Ling felt that it was inappropriate.
She felt that Cheng Yuguan was frightened, and it was better to go back to Fengyi Palace.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were all the same, they came to Ninghui Hall with a smile and a smile, and now they are both holding a book and reading it.
made Mei Ling feel that she seemed to be a little extra worried.
Mei Ling looked at Cheng Yuguan several times, and saw her looking down at the book, as if her surroundings did not exist.
I had a scene with the Lord of Fucheng just now, and it was as if the wind had passed without a trace and it didn't exist at all, so I didn't take it to heart at all.
Mei Ling was convinced, Miss Cheng looked calm and quiet, and she didn't have any outstanding talents, but this open-mindedness was better than many people.
In front of the queen, she has seen waves of noble daughters, all of whom are from high backgrounds and have been wronged, even if they don't make a fuss, they must secretly remember it in their hearts, and they will be uncomfortable for a while.
Looking at Cheng Yuguan again, he had completely left the Fucheng County Lord and the five princes just now, and only focused on reading.
On the title page of the book in her hand, "Jizhou Stone Spectrum" was written.
The army of the Great Cadres is fierce, the people are open, and the people live in peace, so as the capital of the Great Cadres, the capital is very rich and prosperous.
On the day Cheng Yu entered Beijing, the excitement on the street was just a drop in the bucket.
Standing on the attic of Ninghui Palace, overlooking the entire eastern part of the capital, I found that the prosperity of the capital was still above Cheng Yuguan's expectations.
Cheng Yuguan loved to be clean in his previous life, even when he went out to travel, he also chose to go in the off-season, and when he went, he went out of the shopping street, which was full of artificial traces of steps and artificial ancient streets.
This is not the case in the capital.
The prosperity of the capital is full of fireworks, but it does not feel complicated.
Just like now, the sunset is exerting its residual heat, and the golden sunlight spreads all over the capital.
The people walked through it, or the students in a light dress left school and walked back in twos and threes, or the women led the children, holding the clothes and wooden basins, walking on the way home, and there were also men holding sugar gourds in their hands, and the footsteps went home briskly.
There is no annoying and harsh noise, at most it is the sound of the whip that occasionally comes to mind when the donkey cart and ox cart are on the road, and the sound of the iron bell hitting the back of the carriage, when matched, it is still a little melodious, and when it comes together, it reaches Cheng Yuguan's ears far away.
After seeing the pig driver, Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian walked downstairs with some unfinished business.
"I'll take you to Mahang Street another day, it's even more lively."
Seeing Cheng Yuguan reluctantly going downstairs, Li Mian said unconsciously.
"Really?"
Cheng Yuguan instantly recovered his spirits, "Listening to Mei Ling, Mahang Street is lively from morning to night, there are fresh fruit porridge and vegetables in the morning, cats, dogs and birds are sold, there is a stage at noon, after lunch and then shopping, all kinds of snacks will come out of the stall, there is a pork cake with a loin, very delicious." The night market will not disperse until the third watch, and the fifth watch will rise again, day and night?! ”
It is more prosperous and lively than all the snack streets in the previous life.
After Cheng Yuguan heard this, he thought about it in his heart and felt it, and he couldn't find some familiar breath. There is also a pork cake with a spine, is it the earliest meat bun? Cheng Yuguan couldn't wait to try it.
Before entering the capital, Cheng Yuguan liked the quiet and peaceful Chengjia Village, and after arriving in the capital, Cheng Yuguan decided that she would buy a house in the capital, and then between Chengjia Village and the capital, she would live differently.
Li Mian saw that Cheng Yuguan, who was quiet on weekdays, couldn't wait, chattering, and nodded arrogantly, "It's just more prosperous than you think, there will be a ghost market on the fifth watch, when the time comes, let's go shopping from the fifth watch to the third watch, and make up the whole day!" ”
"It's a deal!"
Cheng Yuguan stretched out his hand excitedly, and when Li Mian saw this, he also cooperated with her temperamentally and high-fived her.
Back in Fengyi Palace, the queen already knew that Cheng Yuguan was blocked by Fucheng in Jiacheng, but she didn't say anything, only praised Li Mian for coming in time.
It wasn't until before going to bed that the queen told Cheng Yuguan about the lord of Fucheng, she had a sister who was the lord of Fushan, and the lord of Fushan was Cheng Yuguan, who had a one-sided relationship, and Cheng Yulou's handkerchief was handed over.
And the father of the lord of Fucheng, the king of Shunjun, is the emperor's cousin, who has only two daughters and no sons, so he has no desires and no desires, and no one dares to mess with him in the capital.
Cheng Fangchuan and King Shunjun don't have much intersection, but Cheng Yulou, together with the little sisters such as the lord of Fucheng, is the first echelon in the circle of noble girls in the capital, and many people are proud to join it.
They gather to isolate others on weekdays, and everyone thinks that it is nothing more than children messing around, and everyone forms a poetry club together, fights literary talents, and is quite famous in Beijing.
Every poetry meeting, it will attract many noble women and civilians to yearn for. If you catch up with the four o'clock and eight festivals, you will gather in the garden in Beijing, and there are often ladies and ladies from various families to the party, accompanied by the famous talents and beauties in Beijing. Let Cheng Yulou and his party poetry club members become even more famous in the capital.
But Yuguan didn't have to be weak in the face of them. The so-called hugging solidarity club is just a paper tiger, and there is no need to be afraid. You just have to face them with a normal heart, and the water from the well does not interfere with the water of the river. If they have to come to offend you, you don't have to wronged yourself, just make a big fuss, and your aunt will naturally uphold justice for you. ”
The queen said directly, like a mother and daughter talking at night, not asking the reason, ignoring right and wrong, just showing her attitude and standing on her side.
Cheng Yuguan was moved when he heard it.
Is this preference? Cheng Yuguan's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, warm.
"Auntie, don't worry, I won't let myself suffer."
The queen smiled and patted Cheng Yuguan on the shoulder, "That's it." ”
…
From that day on, Cheng Yuguan was waiting for Li Mian to take her to Mahang Street. But as the fifth prince said, the fourth prince is entangled in everything, and it is not easy to spare a whole day. Cheng Yuguan had to wait patiently.
At this time, Yuguan accompanied the queen to finish lunch and returned to her room, always feeling that it was difficult to calm down.
Since she couldn't go to Mahang Street for the time being, she had no choice but to look out of the palace on the Ninghui Hall to relieve her boredom. But after all, it's too far away to watch.
"Mei Ling!"
Cheng Yuguan suddenly had an idea.
"Miss Yuguan?"
Mei Ling looked at Cheng Yuguan, who was bored just now, and suddenly jumped up, and said with some hesitation.
"Go find me some small round mirrors, I want to make something."
