Chapter 25: Out of the Palace

"The Queen Mother."

"Why is Mian'er here?"

The queen mother and Her Majesty sat on the head and prepared to enjoy the meal, and when they saw that the fourth prince Li Mian had come at noon, they deliberately glanced at the leak in the corner of the wall.

The emperor had a more gentle temper, and when he saw Li Mian coming, he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down and eat.

"Mian'er has been presiding over the collection of cooked medicine regulations recently, and she has been busy, do you ignore your mother?"

After speaking, he looked at the queen, "Mian'er has been busy lately, it's all because of me, and the burden on Mian'er is too heavy." Huiqing blames me, don't be angry with Mian'er. ”

Empress Wei Huiqing, born in the Weiguo Mansion.

When the queen heard the emperor say this, where could she pretend anymore, and glared at the emperor.

"Good people have made you do it, why am I still angry?"

Saying that, the queen also laughed, looking very crisp and bright, and didn't care about His Majesty the Emperor, looking at her son, "Your father and the emperor opened his mouth, what else can I say." Go and sit in front of Yuguan, Yuguan entered the palace and was restrained, and in front of His Majesty, I didn't dare to stretch out her chopsticks when I saw her picking vegetables, you sandwiched some meat for her, don't live in Fengyi Palace for a few days, but lose weight. ”

As soon as the queen spoke, she was thorough, which made the originally dull atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.

The emperor looked at Cheng Yuguan with a smile, "You didn't grow up in the capital since you were a child, you don't know the style of these bastard boys in the capital, and the boys of the same age as you are all very skinny." You are from Chenghou Mansion, and your grandfather was very close to me back then, and when they were fighting, they were all a family that ate in a pot. So in the palace, you don't have to be restrained, just treat it as your own home. Your sister Yulou has done a good job in this regard, and every time she enters the palace, she is very comfortable and ingenious. ”

The emperor has a lot of opportunities, where does he know about the lawsuit in the Cheng family, he just casually gives an example.

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, and thanked him with a restrained look, "What Your Majesty said is that the courtiers didn't grow up in the capital and didn't know the personnel of the capital, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous." ”

The queen gave His Majesty a dish and gave His Majesty a blank look, "Do you know that Yuguan has just arrived, and she is also allowed to learn from others more comfortably, how to learn?" The more you learn, the more chaotic you become. ”

Saying that, the queen looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Your Majesty's words, Yuguan just listen to them, don't go to your heart, just follow your own temperament." After a long time, I will naturally know how to measure myself. ”

The emperor laughed, "Yes, the queen is right, my daughter's family is delicate, I don't mean anything else, Yuguan is fine." ”

When the emperor spoke, he was obviously following the empress's words.

The palace people arranged Li Mian's position, and sure enough, it was next to Cheng Yuguan.

"Ming'er goes to Mahang Street, you get up early and wait for me in Ninghui Palace."

seems to be used to seeing his parents in lawsuits, but his parents have different identities. Li Mian didn't care about the words of the emperor and empress, and only instructed next to Cheng Yuguan.

"You two, what good things do you still want to say in private?"

The queen's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Li Mian talking to Cheng Yuguan, she asked.

The Emperor's gaze also came to the two of them.

Li Mian sat up straight and replied, "Queen Mother, Father, nothing serious. It was said two days ago that I would take Yuguan to Mahang Street for a walk. When she first came to the capital, she hadn't seen the scenery of the capital on the street. ”

Li Mian said naturally, but the emperor's face stiffened for a moment.

"Mian'er has always been cold-faced, and she is rarely considerate of Yuguan, which is good. There is a ghost market on Mahang Street, you should go earlier. Yuguan, Ming'er asked Mian'er to take you around, if he is not thoughtful, you just have to say it directly, you don't need to be polite to him, after all, he is also your brother, and he should take care of you. ”

When the queen said this, the emperor's expression, who was a little puzzled, eased up.

"That's it, Mian'er, you are a few years older than Yuguan and grew up in the capital, Ming'er has to take on the responsibility of a brother and take good care of Yuguan."

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he hurriedly got up, "Thank you for your Majesty's concern, and the four princes for taking care of you." ”

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan was still so restrained, the queen shook her head, but the emperor couldn't help but nodded.

When he first saw Cheng Yuguan, it was completely in front of the queen to give a few words, and Cheng Yuguan was so polite, he felt normal.

After eating, the emperor took a rest, and Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian took the opportunity to leave Fengyi Palace.

"My father is broad-minded, and after you are an old man, you don't have to be so formalistic in the future. As a junior, you are closer to your mouth and sweeter, and there are many benefits. ”

Out of Fengyi Palace, the two of them tacitly went to Ninghui Palace. On the way, Li Mian couldn't help but click on Cheng Yuguan Road.

Cheng Yuguan leads the love between the queen and the four princes, but she is indifferent by nature, and restraint is just a way to keep a distance from others. Especially since that person is the Lord of the peoples, she should stay away from him.

As for the benefits of sweet mouth, forget it. She is not Cheng Yulou, she is naturally sweet and coquettish, and she should take those benefits. As for what she wants, she will earn it herself, not by others.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan smiling and silent, Li Mian vaguely guessed some of her thoughts, and she was no longer reluctant.

In the past few days, every time Li Mian has time to come to Ninghui Palace, he will inevitably see Cheng Yuguan. Therefore, the two tacitly agreed to go to the Ninghui Hall after noon.

Halfway through, Li Mian couldn't help but say, "Are you unable to stay in Fengyi Palace?" That's why I come to Ninghui Hall every day to look outside the palace. ”

Cheng Yuguan was taken aback, and subconsciously retorted, "How come, the queen treats me like a daughter, and I get along with my mother very comfortably." How could the fourth brother think that? ”

Because Li Mian was by her side and safe, Mei Ling did not follow Cheng Yuguan out. Therefore, there are only two in Yongdao, Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian.

Li Mian heard Cheng Yuguan say this, and looked down at her deeply.

He asked her if she wanted to leave the palace, and she replied that she was doing well in the palace.

You don't want to go out if you're doing well, do you?

Li Mian thought that since he and Cheng Yuguan met, the two had a tacit understanding inexplicably, had the same ideas, and had similar temperaments.

On the way to Beijing, in order to hurry, the two rarely talked, but these days, the two often met in Ninghui Palace, and he gradually became familiar with Cheng Yuguan.

But both of them are silent and deep-hearted. When he checked the information, Cheng Yuguan was reading a book on the side, he was silent, and Cheng Yuguan could not say a word all afternoon.

is like this, silent day by day, occasionally talking for a few words, but Li Mian seems to gradually see Cheng Yuguan's temperament.

She seems to be reserved and silent, but in fact, she has a very good idea. The words of others can rarely shake her heart.

It's like being by the side of the queen mother, although she is well-behaved, she doesn't have the idea of clinging or speculating, but simply enjoys the feeling of being protected by the queen mother.

It's a rare thing.

Because the queen mother is in the back position, even the younger generations of the mother's family are more well-behaved and clever, and less sincere. It's also human nature.

The queen mother has also seen it all these years.

But Cheng Yuguan had no idea.

Everyone in the palace knew that Cheng Yu was valued by the queen and took it with her every day, but she didn't have the slightest idea of going out to put up a shelf, every day except for Fengyi Palace, that is, Ninghui Palace, even the palace maids in the queen's palace, she treated each other with courtesy.

can achieve this level, or it is a big plan, otherwise, it is a decision in my heart that I will leave the palace sooner or later, so I will not take the initiative to have too much to do with Fengyi Palace.

Li Mian thought about it, Cheng Yuguan should be the second type.

She just doesn't have her heart in the palace, so she has no desires.

After thinking about this, Li Mian had a sudden feeling of Cheng Yuguan, as if he had re-acquainted himself.

In the past, Cheng Yuguan was the daughter of the deceased of the queen mother, so when he encountered her in the wild, he took a hand at will, and he was also in the palace. For the sake of the queen mother's face, take her to familiarize herself with the palace.

Now, for the first time, he re-acquainted himself with Cheng Yuguan in his own identity. And not as a deceased mother, but as herself.

"What are you going to do after you come out?"

Cold, Li Mian asked.

As soon as he said this, Cheng Yuguan was startled, and Li Mian himself was also shocked.

A person shows concern for a person, and can casually ask if it is good to eat or live.

But if a person really cares about another person, he will care about her future plans.

Li Mian's words are the first time since the two met that they asked about their future plans.

So both of them couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Cheng Yuguan quickly reacted and said, "The patriarch uncle is very good to me, and when I succeed the uncle, I should return to Chengjia Village with the uncle." The three elder brothers are not good at business, so I should take over for the patriarch and take care of the business in the clan. ”

The fourth prince, Li Mian, is a noble man of Cheng Yuguan. She went out of Chengjia Village, because she thought very highly of herself, miscalculated, and when motion sickness was the most uncomfortable and was calculated by Mama Chen, it was Li Mian, the fourth prince, who came to her rescue and helped her get out of the predicament.

In any case, Cheng Yuguan admits his feelings. So no matter whether Li Mian really cares or asks casually, Cheng Yuguan honestly informed his plans.

Hearing Cheng Yuguan's plan, Li Mian frowned unconsciously.

"Returning to Chengjia Village? Running a business? ”

Li Mian almost put on his face what kind of business interest the small place in Chengjia Village could have.

After thinking about it, Li Mian still said tactfully, "It would be best if you could stay in the capital." In this way, the queen mother can also take care of it all the time. In a year or two, you should be married, and the queen mother will definitely set a good family affair for you. The future of a girl's life, in these two years, you should think twice. ”

Li Mian is to the point.

In this world where men are respected, although the atmosphere is still quite open, the status of women is not too low. But a woman's future is in her husband.

If you marry a woodcutter, then you will be a peasant woman in the future, and if you marry a champion, then at least you will be able to be a wife and a lady.

When Li Mian said this, he frowned first. He didn't know what was wrong, and he always felt that it was awkward to talk to Cheng Yuguan about marrying someone and kissing him.

glanced down at Cheng Yuguan, she was still a yellow-haired girl.

Cheng Yuguan raised her head at this time and met Li Mian's gaze, her eyes were not entangled, nor were they touched, as if Li Mian's "marriage said" just now, she was very calm.

I saw Cheng Yuguan smiling at himself, with a relaxed smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and said, "Marrying someone is not in my plan for the time being, and for me right now, the most important thing is to carry forward the business of Chengjia Village." ”

Li Mian was stunned for a moment, and shrugged his shoulders for a moment, "The most important thing is that you think about it." ”

It is taboo to talk shallow and deep, he has already persuaded him a lot just now, and now that Cheng Yuguan insists, he will not say more.

As they spoke, the two of them came to the Ning Hui Palace.

Today, Li Mian didn't need to go down to find information, so he went straight to the small attic on the third floor with Cheng Yuguan.

Ninghui Hall is actually only the second floor, the attic of the three, is into the second floor of the Ninghui Palace, can see a hidden attic entrance, can not be seen from the outside, from the inside feeling, the space is very small, only the size of a hall.

The two of them came to the window and looked into the distance from a high place.

"It's too far away, you can't see anything, and you have to be there to feel the atmosphere of the market."

Li Mian said after pointing out the places to go tomorrow with Cheng Yuguan.

"I did this." Cheng Yuguan took out the "telescope" that had been prepared long ago from behind him.

There are glass mirrors in the palace, and there is also the Craftsman Division, after she told the Craftsman Division what she wanted, although the people in the Craftsman Division were confused and didn't know what Cheng Yuguan was going to do. But Cheng Yuguan has been popular in Fengyi Palace recently, and they don't dare to offend, so they made all the parts that Cheng Yuguan needed, Cheng Yuguan took it back, and simply assembled it to build a simple version of the telescope.

She held the telescope in her hand, demonstrated it briefly, and handed it to Li Mian.

"With this object, something thousands of miles away is as if it were in front of you. Originally, I wanted to use this thing to relieve my boredom, but the fourth brother was going to take me out of the palace tomorrow, and I couldn't use this thing, so I borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and gave it to the fourth brother! ”

Cheng Yuguan said casually, but with a little pride.

Li Mian hesitantly took the "cylinder" handed over by Cheng Yuguan, and saw that Cheng Yuguan was confidently waiting for his opinion, so he put Cheng Yuguan's appearance in front of him, "What can this be... It's so amazing?! ”

Li Mian, who originally wanted to complain, was instantly surprised. Take the telescope in your hand, look at it over and over again, and put it in front of your eyes again and again, looking at things in the distance.

Seeing Li Mian's surprise, Cheng Yuguan's tone was a little proud, "The conditions are simple and rough, but with this telescope, I can see the patterns on the pigs and dolphins ten miles away!" ”

Li Mian was still surprised, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "You made such a good thing just to watch the pigs?" ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "I can't go out again, the pigs are busy outside every day, and I can only watch from afar." With this thing, I will be able to steal teachers. You don't know, I've learned almost the gestures of the pig driver these days, and when I have the opportunity, I have to try it! ”

Cheng Yuguan was gearing up. That's thousands of pigs, how much fun it is to catch up!

Li Mian couldn't stop laughing, "You went out of the palace just to learn to drive pigs one day?" I'm convinced. Okay, you have given me all these good things, I promise you, before you return to Chengjia Village, I will definitely let the butcher give you a chance to drive the pigs! ”

Li Mian said it was funny, but Cheng Yuguan was excited, she turned her head, stared at Li Mian, and stretched out her hand, "A word is a certainty!" ”

Li Mian tilted his head and sighed, "Okay! Deal! ”

The two high-fived as an oath.

Cheng Yuguan is looking forward to it now, and he dreams at night that he is going to drive the pig by himself.

"Drive, huh, over here! Go here, don't run around, I'll crash into the capital, I can't afford to pay for it! ”

"What did Miss Cheng say?"

The palace maid on duty at night couldn't help but ask when she saw Cheng Yuguan smiling in her dream.

"Who knows? I guess I dreamed of something good. ”

The other couldn't help but laugh with Cheng Yuguan and guessed.
