The most noble father and daughter in the world chattered for a long time on Wangxiantai, from the court affairs of the Great Liang to the eating and dressing of ordinary people, the two of them were happy to talk about the things they thought were interesting, hoping to bring happiness to each other.

Time passed inadvertently, and in a blink of an eye, it was close to noon, and the dazzling autumn sun was high for nine days, shining on the earth.

Liang Bingyue looked at her father reluctantly, and said softly: "Father, the son has returned to the house first, and I can't accompany you anymore, you have to take care of your health." ”

The emperor touched his daughter's hair, and said with a doting look in his eyes: "You are about to travel far away, go and see your mother, talk to her more, and talk about family life." ”

Liang Bingyue nodded very obediently and responded: "I know my father, and my son will go in a while." ”

Then the father and daughter explained some things to each other and slowly separated.

After Princess Yongle left, His Majesty the Emperor stood on Wangxiantai for a long time, looking uncertain.

Yu Chaoen persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, autumn is already deep, although the sun is shining, but the cold has already grown, don't stand for a long time, beware of the cold." ”

The emperor slowly came back to his senses and sighed: "Yu Chaoen, everyone says that if you sit on the position of the Ninety-Five, you can do whatever you want, and you can do everything, but why do I feel so tricky and embarrassed?

Yu Chaoen's lips opened and opened, but he didn't say anything, but sighed silently in his heart, and said in his belly: "If you can really crisscross Shenzhou as you like as the emperor wants, then the people who want to fight for the throne are not only the children of the Liang family, but I'm afraid that those pure and inactive immortals of the Three Sects also want to try." ”

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor will not read people's hearts, otherwise, Yu Chaoen would have been scolded with a bloody spurt.

......

It is said that Meng Ran and his entourage traveled another five or six miles and came to Lili Town, where everyone planned to repair and then continue on the road.

At the door of the restaurant, everyone handed over their mounts and carriages to the shopkeeper and entered the lobby one after another.

As soon as Meng Ran and the others sat down, they saw two plainly dressed men with long knives stepping into the restaurant, talking to themselves, and their voices were very loud.

The younger man asked, "Second uncle, is the Ji family really going to compete to choose a son-in-law tomorrow?"

The older man replied, "Naturally, otherwise, why would we have to run so far." ”

The younger man is called Zhu Wuchang, and the one he calls his second uncle by Zhu Wuchang is his uncle, known as Zhu Laoer, as for the big name, few people know.

Zhu Wuchang smiled and said, "Second uncle, even if the daughter of the Ji family is better than the immortals, it's not worth it for the two of us to go so far, right?"

This pair of uncles and nephews of the Zhu family are from Hongzhou, Jiangnan West Province, and they can be regarded as a journey of thousands of miles.

Zhu Lao Er turned around and glared at his nephew, and scolded: "I knew you were like this, so I shouldn't have brought you here." When you enter the restaurant, you eat, what nonsense?"

Obviously, Zhu Wuchang was quite afraid of his second uncle, and after hearing the scolding, he immediately found a seat and sat down, and coincidentally sat next to Meng Ran and his party.

Zhu Lao Er sat down with his nephew, and said in a low voice: "The Ji family is obviously recruiting a son-in-law for the competition this time, but in fact, it is a true disciple who has been selected to enter the Ji family's Wuyuan. ”

Zhu Wuchang's attitude was very careless, and after picking out his ears, he screamed strangely, and said loudly: "Second uncle, do you want me to be a son-in-law? I won't do it, and I won't do it if I kill him." ”

Zhu Lao Er raised his right hand, pointed to his nephew's nose, and scolded: "There are many people here, don't make yourself uncomfortable, if you really don't feel ashamed, I will beat you up and make you famous." ”

The corners of Zhu Wuchang's mouth twitched, and then he said seriously: "Second uncle, I think it's not bad to be a door-to-door son-in-law, right?

After Meng Ran heard this conversation that changed very quickly, he was amused by Zhu Wuchang's hob meat, and endured it with great difficulty, for fear that he would laugh out loud.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wuchang continued: "Even if that Ji family's daughter is an ugly and fat dwarf, I can accept it, after all, the Ji family's Wuyuan never allows outsiders to enter, this is the first time in hundreds of years, and the opportunity is rare." ”

When Meng Ran heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, and then there was a burst of laughter in the lobby of the restaurant, which was simply unscrupulous.

Zhu Wuchang was stunned for a moment, and gave a thumbs up to this young man who dared to be presumptuous in front of his second uncle.

Zhu Lao Er glared at his nephew, but he didn't ask Meng Ran, who was eavesdropping on them, after all, the two tables were too close, so close that there was nothing to steal or not eavesdrop, it was simply a righteous and bright listening.

Meng Ran stood up, bowed to Zhu's uncle and nephew, and said sincerely: "In the east of the lower Jiangnan Province, Meng Ran has met two friends. ”

Zhu Wuchang also stood up, arched his hand and said: "Jiangnan West Dao Zhu Wuchang, this is my second uncle, just call him Zhu Lao Er by friends." ”

Meng Ran smiled at Zhu's uncle and nephew and shouted, "Meng Ran has seen Second Uncle Zhu and Brother Zhu. ”

Zhu Lao Er nodded expressionlessly, which was regarded as a greeting to Meng Ran.

Zhu Wuchang smiled and asked, "Is Junior Brother Meng also going to Tongli Ancient Town?" You seem to be very interested in the affairs of the Ji family. ”

Meng Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "The younger brother just left the house, and he didn't know the Ji family in Tongli Ancient Town, but he just thought that Brother Zhu's conversation was very interesting, so he laughed, please forgive me." ”

Zhu Wuchang looked lazy and said, "It's easy to say." ”

At this moment, the shopkeeper who had arranged the horses and vehicles returned to the lobby and asked with a smile on his face, "What do you want to eat......?"

Before the store's second child introduced, Meng Ran instructed: "No need to introduce too much, let the kitchen make a few special dishes of our store, and then a jar of good wine, and cut a few catties of mutton." Be quick. ”

When encountering a high-roller like Meng Ran, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, the eyes that were not big were almost invisible, and a thick lip was almost cracked to the back molars, and he was extremely excited.

The shopkeeper responded very happily, then turned around and walked to Zhu Wuchang's side, and asked Zhu's uncle and nephew what they wanted to eat.

After Zhu Wuchang finished ordering, the shopkeeper went straight into the back kitchen, and did not show up for a long time, thinking that he was helping in the kitchen.

After about half a pillar of incense, the shopkeeper was holding a wooden plate with a few dishes on it.

Before the meal was served, a smell filled the lobby.

After that, there was no word, and everyone was in turmoil.

......

After Liang Bingyue, the princess of Yongle, got off the Wangxian Terrace, she took her personal maid and maid towards the Yiyue Palace.

Along the way, there were few people, and there was a little more cold air unconsciously, as if this place was not the political center of the Great Liang Dynasty, but an unknown palace that few people knew.

In the Yiyue Palace, after Liang Bingyue and her mother saw the ceremony, she sat very quietly on an embroidery pier, quietly looking at her mother who was reading ancient books carefully.

After a while, Liang Bingyue waved her hand, and the palace attendant and her personal maid withdrew from the main hall, leaving only this strange mother and daughter.

Liang Bingyue's mother's surname is Zhang, and she is one of the nine concubines in the second rank of the harem, Zhang Zhaorong, and her maiden name is Xiuning.

Zhang Xiuning was selected as a show girl at the age of fourteen and entered the court, and later, by chance, she formed a good relationship with the current emperor and gave birth to a daughter, that is, Liang Bingyue.

Zhang Xiuning has a light temperament and does not like to cater, so she is not conspicuous in the court where women are like clouds, so she was naturally snubbed by the emperor, so she lived in this calm and quiet Yiyue Hall for more than ten years.

"Mother, the son will leave the capital early tomorrow morning and go to the Taoist sect to cultivate, and I came today to say goodbye to my mother. ”

Zhang Xiuning gently put it on the ancient book she was reading, raised her head and smiled at her daughter, Xu felt that the broken hair on her forehead was a little in the way, and casually picked up the green silk and pinned it behind the white and tender ears.

Zhang Xiuning looked at her daughter lightly and lightly, and said, "Go and go, take care of your body, don't work too hard." ”

Liang Bingyue was amazed by her mother's smile, and was in a trance for a moment.

Zhang Xiuning noticed her daughter's strange appearance and asked softly, "Bingyue?"

Liang Bingyue suddenly came back to her senses, smiled apologetically at her mother, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted, what did my mother say just now?"

Zhang Xiuning didn't repeat the previous explanation, but just looked at his daughter carefully and asked, "This is going to the Taoist Sect, but for the sake of the young man surnamed Chen?"

Liang Bingyue's cheeks flushed, and she said hesitantly: "Also... It's not all, I want to help him, but I don't know how to do it, so I want to worship the Taoist sect to learn some Taoist secret arts, hoping to help him in the future. ”

Zhang Xiuning stopped talking, picked up the ancient book that was put aside just now, and continued to read it.

From Liang Bingyue's point of view, her mother is exquisite, with a pair of indifferent eyes embedded in her white and tender skin that can be broken by her fingers, and a small cherry mouth under Qiong's nose.

Such a beautiful woman didn't get the favor of her father, and Liang Bingyue couldn't help but slander in her heart: "I'm afraid my father's eyes are not very good, and Wei Guifei, who has been favored all year round with a vicious temperament and a person-like appearance, is really incomprehensible."

It's just that the mother's temperament is indeed too light, and as her biological daughter, she still doesn't know how to get along with her, let alone the king of a country who never easily reveals her true thoughts. ”

Liang Bingyue thought about it for a while, and at first she thought about her mother Zhang Xiuning for a while, and then she let go of her thoughts, and began to think about Chen Beiwang, who left the capital to travel north, thinking about the scenery and characters along the way to Daozong, and thinking about everything on Wuliang Mountain.

Unknown people and things are very attractive to Liang Bingyue, who has never been out of the capital, and she wants to take this opportunity to see the world and experience life.

Anyway, my father and mother's bodies are still strong, so I'll take care of myself first.

Liang Bingyue thought.
