Chapter 16: Your Highness Is Still Thinking About Me?
One of the Praetorian guards tried to lift the curtain.
Meng Qing had already seen a bronze hand grasping a corner of the curtain in the frame.
Her fingertips trembled, and she subconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt, slightly nervous.
If this is caught, he will definitely have to be reprimanded by his father, and then the mother concubine will not be able to save it if she wants to.
Meng Qing closed his eyes in fear and generously went to justice, waiting for the trial.
There was a sudden sound of tracing the boat.
"Wait!"
The guards all around him looked at him.
The atmosphere was so quiet at this moment that it even made people feel a little suspicious.
"What? Is there some secret in it? The guard narrowed his eyes with doubt.
The surrounding Praetorian guards clenched their swords tightly, vigilant as wolves.
Even on a cool spring day, Meng Qing felt that her heart was hot and uneasy.
Su Zhou's palms were sweating, but he pretended to be calm, pretended to smile and said in a low voice: "No, no, how can there be an ulterior secret?" ”
"Then why didn't you let me lift the curtain?"
"After Taifu taught the little emperor Ji to practice the piano yesterday, he was busy with official business all night, and he was resting inside, if you opened the curtain and disturbed Taifu, I can't afford to wait!"
The guard hesitated.
Xiao Yan, he knows, often goes in and out of the palace, and knows everything about the affairs of the back court and the front court.
Although the power is not high, he has not yet gained a foothold in the court, no matter how bad he is, he is also a dignified master, teaching the princesses, and has a great relationship with the princesses, so it is really not good to offend so rashly.
So the guard thought about it for a moment or two, and then retreated knowingly.
One of the team leaders shouted.
"Get out of the way!"
As soon as the words came out, the guards of the forbidden army at the gate of the palace gave way one after another, leading straight to the outside of the palace.
The frame shook lightly and heavily, and drove out of the palace.
Meng Qing opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
But she found that Xiao Yan was looking at her with a funny face.
She asked, "What do you watch me do?" ”
Xiao Yan supported himself with one hand, his eyes were lazy.
"Are you afraid?"
Fear?
Why did she hear this sentence more and more wrong?
Why can't you be afraid? She ran out of the palace without permission! If she is caught, her father and mother will inevitably punish her, and even he, an accomplice, will not escape responsibility.
However, she had to say something different.
"Isn't this for fear of implicating Taifu! I was caught, and I was punished, but Taifu is different. You are a courtier, it is a big crime to take the princess out of the palace, and those old men in the Imperial Observatory will definitely make a big fuss about you! ”
"So, Your Highness is still thinking about me?"
Meng Qing held his head high, "That's nature." ”
Meng Qing had been out of the palace in her previous life, and she was also accompanied by Xiao Yan, but her purpose in her previous life was completely different from this life.
Xiao Yan's robe was loosely covered on his body, leisurely and lightly.
He held the scriptures in his hand, and his face was stunning.
The little fox is lying again.
She was obviously worried that she would not be able to get out of the palace, but she had to say that she was worried about him, and she lied a lot.
The outside of the palace and the inside of the palace are completely different scenes, with pedestrians walking around the wide streets, vendors shouting and drinking, and busy traffic.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Meng Qing turned around and lifted the pale curtain, poked his head out of the window, and looked out.
The streets are lined with shops, the early morning mist hangs in the air, and pedestrians rush by, as if they are in a hurry.
The cries of the shops come and go, and the pastry buns made by each shop are sweet and fragrant.
It can be seen that Meng Qing yearns for life outside the palace more and more.
"In front of you is Broken Cloud Xuan, in order to ensure the safety of the princess, the minister will let Su Zhou follow you, and the minister will come to pick you up after sunset."
"What?"
Meng Qing retracted her head back into the carriage, and facing Xiao Yan, she was puzzled.
"Why did you let Su Zhou follow me?"
"Outside the palace is far from being as simple as His Highness thinks, you are a daughter, and there must be no mistakes."
"I don't want it!"
Xiao Yan's eyebrows were solemn, and there was a sternness in his tone, "If Your Highness does not agree to follow Su Zhou, then the minister will send you back to the palace now." ”
“……”
Although she used the excuse that she was going to Broken Yunxuan to choose fat powder, only she knew that she was going to find Shen Hanzhang.
If you ask the boat to follow, it will be too inconvenient!
Besides, Xiao Yan can't be asked to notice the existence of Shen Hanzhang, otherwise he will be put in danger again.
But Xiao Yan insisted on doing so......
Forget it, she will think of a way to see if she can get rid of the boat.
In desperation, she could only compromise, "Okay." ”
……
Shattered Cloud Xuan.
The carriage stopped at the side of the road, and two young men and women were getting out of it.
From a distance, the two of them are dressed plainly and simply, but their posture is graceful, their strokes are as straight as loose, and they all exude a noble atmosphere between their gestures.
The little guy in Shattered Cloud Xuan is very good at looking at people, from the carriage to the servants to the clothing and temperament of the two, you can know that the other party is either rich or expensive.
"Your Highness, remember that when walking outside the palace, don't leave the sight of the boat."
Meng Qing looked up at him.
He already had a pair of warm and soft eyes, and when he said this, he could see the look of worry in them.
She smiled sweetly, "I know Taifu, you can get busy first." ”
Xiao Yan took a calm posture and repeatedly advised: "After sunset, the minister will come to Shayun Xuan to pick you up again, and you must not miss the time of the palace gate." ”
"Okay."
"Tracing the boat."
Su Zhou clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes." ”
"Follow Your Highness, and don't leave Your Highness for half a step."
"Yes."
After telling him, Xiao Yan got into the carriage with confidence and left far away.
Meng Qing looked at the golden crow rising in the east, quietly piercing the sky, shooting down on the buildings with red walls and green tiles, shining with a dazzling light.
She glanced at the boat and swallowed nervously.
"Ahem...... Su Zhou, your master is not here, you have to listen to me! ”
Su Zhou clasped his hands around his chest indifferently, and his eyes were fixed on her
"Yes."
Tut!
How reluctant!
Meng Qing took Yun He's hand and walked inside.
The little guy from Shattered Yunxuan stepped forward to greet him, extremely flattering, "Girl, please!" ”
"Hmm."
"Which daughter is the girl, why have I never seen you in Yujing?"
"Me? Mrs. Xiao's distant cousin, who just entered Beijing a few days ago, naturally you haven't seen it. ”
"Girl, watch your step."
Meng Qing naturally crossed the threshold and walked inside.
As the first rouge shop in Yujing, Broken Cloud Xuan is almost famous all over the world, and the interior furnishings are even more extraordinary.
The full house is full of magnificence, and the hibiscus pattern screen partitions the inside and outside, because it is early in the morning, there is no one in the store, and it looks very spacious.
She wandered inside, picked up a box of rouge, the outside of the box was exquisitely carved, carved with gold and tillian, and when she opened it, the lid of the box was connected, and a small round mirror was embedded in the lid, which was very small.
"This is a new style this year, do you like it?"
Meng Qing was suddenly startled, his hand was faintly unstable, and he almost didn't hold the box of rouge steadily.
She followed the sound and saw that the person who had just spoken was the woman in front of her who was dressed in a pink gauze skirt and had unique clothes.
"You are?"
"Hello, I'm the boss of Shattered Cloud Xuan!"
