Chapter 59
Therefore, what people really want to do cannot be declared, not even those closest to them.
It's like this moment.
Li Mian pulled Cheng Yuguan and took a walk by Mingxin Lake.
The key is that Mingxin Lake is the most famous scenic place on the outskirts of Beijing.
In the summer, from dignitaries to ordinary people, they will go to Mingxin Lake to cool off the heat.
At this time, on the green poplar embankment by Mingxin Lake, people are all people.
Li Mian took Cheng Yuguan's hand, walked all the way from the east of the lake to the west of the lake, and called a small boat to pull Cheng Yuguan onto the boat to blow the wind.
"Fourth brother, you don't need to be like this!"
Cheng Yuguan's face was a little red, it was definitely not watched by others, but it was too hot for her to walk.
Cheng Yuguan thought.
Li Mian looked at Cheng Yuguan with a smile on his face, "Of course it must be so, otherwise, how can others know that we have a good relationship?" Don't you see? Cheng Yulou's few people formed a group of poems in the Huxin Pavilion, if you want to make her uncomfortable, you have to take me more and shake it in front of her. β
Speaking of this, Cheng Yuguan pursed his mouth and had nothing to say.
The secrets of the heart are understood, and at this moment they are taken out to obey themselves, which is really a good one.
Li Mian picked up the white gauze hat on the side and put it on for Cheng Yuguan.
"The sun is shining on the water, you cover some."
Li Mian didn't know which book to get the "home remedies", and felt that men and women had to go out to play together when they fell in love.
At this time, he did it to the extreme, not only achieved the small goal of falling in love, but also hit Cheng Yulou a few times for Cheng Yuguan by the way, and even took the opportunity to stay with Cheng Yuguan for a whole day, which can be described as the best of all three.
Huxin Pavilion, seeing that the four princes, who have always been cold and noble, actually picked up the hat and put it on Cheng Yuguan, and the little sisters of Cheng Yulou Poetry Society were about to wring their handkerchiefs.
The Little Lotus Poetry Society has always formed associations for poetry, and a few of them are the focus.
Now, everyone's eyes have fallen on Cheng Yuguan, how can they not hate.
Among them, Cheng Yulou hated it the most.
But after the explanation of his mother Yang two days ago, Cheng Yulou will no longer show his sincerity in front of outsiders at will, but still smiles gently and generously, as if he did not see the gentleness and smile of the fourth prince Li Mian to Cheng Yuguan, nor did he see the stiff faces of other nobles in the poetry society.
"The willows on the shore are still in the air, let's compose poems with the theme of willows today, how about it? It's a vulgar topic, but it's hard to write something new. Who will come first? β
Cheng Yulou smiled softly and looked at everyone.
The county lord of Fucheng is young and speaks the most straightforwardly, and at that moment, he scolded Cheng Yulou.
"What's so generous? Who doesn't know that you threw things in the mansion because Your Majesty gave the marriage to the four princes and Cheng Yu? Right now, she's in front of us, who still has the heart to write poetry? β
Before Fucheng's words fell, the county lord of Fushan hurriedly pulled his sister behind him, "Don't be open-mouthed! β
After reprimanding his sister, the county lord of Fushan looked at Cheng Yulou with a stiff face, "Yulou, Fucheng is young and has always been outspoken, you also know, don't worry about her." β
The two sisters are in the same vein as King Shunjun, who can really care about it?
Cheng Yulou smiled reluctantly, "Fucheng has always been like this, I understand." β
Everyone was told by Fucheng about the central matter, and they no longer pretended to compose poems, but sat together, looking at Cheng Yuguan, the fourth prince in the heart of the lake, intentionally or unintentionally, while chatting.
"Hey, Yulou, how is your sister? In the capital, she can't always cut off her gossip, but she is a simple person, never goes to the temple fair to have fun, and does not fall in love with anyone's noble daughters, so we have no chance to get along with her. You're sisters after all, so tell us about her. β
A woman has been reincarnated twice in her life, Cheng Yuguan is about to win, and the nobles are naturally curious, what kind of virtue can she have, she is so recognized by His Majesty, Niangniang, and the four princes, as if she is afraid that she will run away, even a good day and auspicious day, and the marriage is given by lightning.
These three people, even if one of them doesn't like Cheng Yuguan, this matter will not be achieved so quickly, and people will have no time to react.
can give marriage so quickly, it can only be that Cheng Yuguan has something special, so that His Majesty, Niangniang, and the four princes love it at the same time.
What is this extraordinary, the women scratched their hearts and wanted to know.
Yes, she is a woman from the countryside, why?
Cheng Yulou was asked in front of him again, swallowed the slanderous curse in his heart, and hesitated for a moment before Cheng Yulou spoke.
"The eldest sister grew up in Chengjia Village by mistake when she was a child, and after the grandmother left, she grew up alone, I am afraid that this spirit makes the queen love it. When the eldest sister entered the palace, the mother said that she liked the sincerity and straightforwardness of the eldest sister. β
This is said as if it were not said.
Fucheng sighed, "What is sincere and straightforward, just a stuffy gourd, a wooden man, or a barbarian!" When I didn't agree with each other, I overturned my sedan chair, and I haven't avenged this revenge! β
Obviously, the county lord of Fucheng still remembers the loss he suffered two years ago.
Everyone wants to know what Cheng Yuguan is good at, but they don't want to admit that she really has any "special features".
Cheng Yulou said good things, they didn't like to listen to them, but Fucheng's words with children like this made everyone convinced.
"I watched Cheng Yuguan and the four princes from afar that time, she was indeed a stuffy gourd, the four princes were golden and noble, and they had to hold her and talk. I'm afraid that she grew up with her grandmother, and the old slave didn't dare to discipline her, so she was too wanton, and she didn't even have the most basic human feelings. The four princes are also fresh for a while, and the noblewomen in Beijing follow the rules, he doesn't like it, and he just likes to ignore people like this. β
Some noble ladies summed up the "reason", and what is even more outrageous is that many people nodded their heads.
First, they didn't understand Cheng Yuguan, they didn't even face to face, and second, they didn't understand the four princes, so they "made up their minds".
"Yes, since we were children, we have to abide by the rules and keep our distance every step of the way, every word and word, I'm afraid that a noble girl like us, the fourth prince will not see it freshly, and he only loves Cheng Yuguan."
"Hey, don't say that, although the fourth prince is capable, but after all, he is simple, he doesn't know the girl's scheming, he was confused for a while, and he feels that it is fresh."
"Yes, the four princes are honest and sincere, and they never talked to women much in the past, but now Cheng Yuguan is pestering the four princes in the name of the daughter of the old woman, and the four princes are confused by her, hey, it's a pity, what a heavy responsibility the four princesses are, how can Cheng Yuguan, an unruly woman, afford it?"
"I hope that the queen can see Cheng Yuguan's shortcomings as soon as possible, and let the four princes stop the precipice in time, otherwise they will ,..."
"Yes, the mother is wise, and she will always recognize Cheng Yuguan's true face."
"Why don't you go to the next palace banquet, let's help the mother recognize it, how about it? Not for anything else, just for the sake of the future of the four princes, presumably Niangniang will also thank us. β
"Yes, the next palace banquet is the Begging Festival, let..."
β¦
An association turned into a discussion meeting on "Let Cheng Yuguan be active". One by one, the routines and conspiracies spit out from the mouths of all the indifferent nobles.
β¦
In the center of the lake, Cheng Yuguan shook the oars, Li Mian supported his chin with his hands, and just watched Cheng Yuguan row excitedly.
"Just so happy? Aren't you tired? Although it was windy, it was still a little hot and a little sunny. β
Cheng Yuguan controlled the oars wholeheartedly, and replied, "Controlling the boat is a technical job, and I still learned it in Tongcheng for a long time before I finally learned it." Sit back and relax, and I'll bring you back to shore safely." By the way, are you tanning? I have a hat to cover it, I don't feel sunburned, otherwise, I'll wear the hat for you for a while? β
Cheng Yuguan looked in the direction and said casually.
Li Mian nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, it's indeed a little sunburned, I haven't worn this hat, you wear it for me." β
Cheng Yuguan "tsk" and reluctantly put down the oar, the oar hung on the side of the boat, but it would not fall, but Cheng Yuguan Xing's head was disturbed, and he was a little reluctant.
"Come on, I'll put it on for you, so you can get on."
Cheng Yuguan beckoned to Li Mian and took off his hat by the way.
"Why don't you bring one more?"
Cheng Yuguan said while putting a hat on Li Mian.
Originally, there was a big hat on his head, but when it came to Li Mian's head, it seemed to be smaller.
Cheng Yuguan stabilized his hat and prepared to tie the rope, but found that because of Li Mian's big head, the rope that was originally long enough was not enough at this time, and there was only one short head left, and Cheng Yuguan needed to hold on tightly in order to tie the knot with the short head.
"Come on again, the rope is too short."
Cheng Yuguan tied his hat seriously and subconsciously said to Li Mian.
Li Mian smiled secretly, held the hull of the boat with both hands apart, and stretched his head forward violently, as if to stick it to Cheng Yuguan's face.
"Oops!"
"Ahh
"This..."
"Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency!"
β¦
Cheng Yuguan didn't pay attention, but the people around Huxin Pavilion and Mingxin Lake who saw this scene exclaimed in surprise at this moment.
Looking at it from their point of view, I thought that the two of them... It's pasted!
Fortunately, not yet.
It's just close.
On the shore, in the lake pavilion, many people breathed a sigh of relief again.
But he was inexplicably lost, as if he didn't see the expected picture.
Cheng Yuguan took the opportunity to fasten his hat, pushed Li Mian's shoulder, and pushed him back to his original place.
"Don't get so close."
Cheng Yuguan said.
"Why? We are an unmarried couple, even if we hold hands, no one will say anything, let alone not meet just now. β
Li Mian is serious.
"Or do you have something wrong with your own mind?"
Cheng Yuguan didn't bother to tease him, grabbed the oar, and then rowed.
A tour of the lake on a day off allowed everyone in Beijing to see the love of the fourth prince Li Mian for his fiancΓ©e Cheng Yuguan.
The people of the capital, who originally had some complaints about Cheng Yuguan, were dissatisfied after hearing about it.
They were originally complaining about the four princes, since the four princes liked it, so what could Cheng Yuguan not do?
Most people's minds change, but some people are stubborn and refuse to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.
For example, Cheng Yulou, such as Fucheng Fushan, such as the noble girl who is interested in the four princes, and for example, the person who looks down on Cheng Yuguan.
In the final analysis, love, hatred, hatred, and jealousy are original sins, and people cannot be easily freed.
For the sake of others, sink into it, and make yourself fall into the quagmire.
The days in the capital are as fast as lightning, and Cheng Yuguan has to watch the daily transfer of goods and accounts of several branches of Daqian every day, and he has to find time when he is busy going out to play.
Li Mian is even more.
He is the only person with real power among the princes, and he touches the hearts of many courtiers.
Therefore, in addition to his own official duties, there are many lawsuits in front of him every day, and he needs to deal with them.
At this moment, it has been more than half a month since they last visited the lake, and the weather has suddenly cooled down in July.
This is the most comfortable season of the year.
"Miss, the colored rope in the palace is so beautiful, the slave and maid have looked at it many times and have no clue, I don't know what to do."
Liuyun touched the colored rope on Cheng Yuguan's wrist and said enviously.
Cheng Yuguan raised the colored rope and looked at it, "This is with the begging gift from my aunt, and on the day of the begging palace banquet, I will ask for you." β
Liuyun was overjoyed, "That's good, that's good!" β
Women love not only gold and silver jewelry, but also small objects such as colored ropes and palace silks, which are worthless but require ingenuity.
Soon arrived on the day of the banquet in the Qiqiao Palace, Cheng Yuguan entered the palace with Liuyun according to his words.
This is the Daughter's Day, Chang and other noble ladies were not invited, only Cheng Yuguan and other daughters who were not out of the cabinet were invited into the palace.
Chang told him to be careful, and the two sisters-in-law of the Zhao family and the Qian family could only watch the little sister's carriage enter the palace with envy.
"Miss, have we been walking in? I saw other noble ladies and all parked their cars at the North Palace Gate. β
Liuyun followed his young lady's side, looking left and right with some curiosity.
This is a corridor, with narrow palace walls standing high, and you have to look up hard to see the occasional stone candlestick above your head and a line of sky overhead.
If it is the first time to walk on this road, I can't say that I can't panic in my heart, and I can't turn out like a headless fly.
Liuyun was so cautious that he couldn't get excited.
This is the first time she has entered the palace, and sure enough, the weather in the palace is extraordinary, and even this wall and this road are majestic and extraordinary.
Cheng Yuguan put his hand on his abdomen, walked forward in a regular manner, and talked to Liuyun as he walked.
"There are too many people at the North Palace Gate, let's come in from the east gate and get to Fengyi Palace, but it will be faster."
Liuyun listened and nodded, "Listen to Miss." β
She didn't understand anything, but naturally she believed in her own young lady.
Passing by a palace, Liuyun looked over curiously, only to see the big plaque in front of the palace, with the three big characters "Ninghui Palace" written on it, and a small yellow door in gray clothes guarding the door, as if he was distracted in the sun.
Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Huangmen's eyes opened and his face suddenly lit up, and he came over to himself, Liuyun was about to pull Miss, but saw Miss take out a bag of pork jerky from her sleeve cage and throw it to Xiao Huangmen, "Sun Ji's roasted pork and baked cakes, I remember that you like to eat them." β
Hearing Miss Cheng's words, Xiao Huangmen was even more happy, and took the hot pork into his arms, "The slave said casually, why do you still think about the slave again and again." Today, you can go quickly, the harem is lively these days! β
Cheng Yuguan didn't stay long, stood for a while, said two words, arched his hand, and left.
Liuyun turned around curiously, but saw Xiao Huangmen smiling at the two of them, their eyes met, and both of them nodded politely.
"Miss, is this your acquaintance in the palace?"
Walking two steps away, Liuyun asked curiously.
"yes!" Cheng Yuguan nodded, "Except for Fengyi Palace, I am the most familiar." β
