Chapter 69

Hearing Prince Yun speak so politely, Chen Yuanshou's sweat that had fallen out of his forehead again, but he did not dare to wipe it: "You are polite, I will report to the emperor."

"Go back to home." Si Haochen said in a deep voice.

Mingruo pushed Si Haochen out of the side hall, and Qin Mo had already prepared the carriage. When Mingruo stepped forward to support him, he took the opportunity to get the silver needle pierced on him. Mingruo and Si Haochen sat side by side on the carriage, away from the lively Qianqiu Palace.

Back on the carriage, Mingruo took the veil and put it in his sleeve bag, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Are you nervous?" Si Haochen took out the entire set of tea sets from the low cabinet, and even had a small red mud stove.

"It's not that I'm nervous, it's that I'm nervous." Ming Ruo saw Si Haochen quarreling with the sky and earth one night, and felt that he would double his sense of security when he entered the palace with him.

Si Haochen could understand what Ming Ruo said about "mental tension", because even he had to cheer up in the palace. In the magnificent palace, there were many dark and treacherous dirty methods hidden, each of which could kill people.

Carriages are driving on the wide streets, and the streets are cold after dark on weekdays, but today they are very lively. Some vendors set up stalls, and some push carts to sell all kinds of small things. However, this is the inner city of the imperial capital. Even if stalls are allowed on the Yuexi Festival, the lane is not allowed to be blocked. There are military personnel patrols and management of the five cities' military personnel and Jingzhao Mansion.

Mingruo sat in the carriage and looked at the busy streets outside through the gaps in the curtains. He blinked his big eyes: "Prince, can I go down and take a look?"

"No." Si Haochen frowned when he saw the pedestrians froze on both sides of the road.

"Oh." Mingruo didn't insist. They were going out of the city tonight and really didn't have time to go shopping.

Seeing the light in Mingruo's eyes dimmed, Si Haochen couldn't bear it after all: "What do you want, you can buy Ayi."

"Really?" Ming Ruo was already hungry in the palace for a long time and pointed at the stall on the side of the road. "I want to stir-fried chestnuts, osmanthus cakes, cloud cakes, vegetarian fried rolls and candied haws!"

Mingruo reported a bunch of "dish names". With a cup of tea, Ayi brought back all the big bags of land. There was a lantern stick under his arm, which was a rabbit lantern.

Ah stuffed all the food to Madam Dong, holding the rabbit lamp and asked Mingruo: "Princess, do you want this lantern? I accidentally bumped into it while buying something just now, and the vendor insisted on me to buy it."

"Give it to me." Even the things on the stalls in the inner city are very delicate. The rabbit lamp is made of thin cocoon silk, and the rabbit's hair is depicted with extremely thin pens. Candles are lit inside, which are vivid.

Mingruo tasted a piece of each snack, and then started peeling the chestnuts and eating it - it was sweet and glutinous, delicious! Si Haochen looked at Mingruo with a smile in his eyes. Mingruo looked up and met the deep eyes as deep as the sea.

Ming Ruo probably was shocked by his own eating, so he looked at her straight: "Wang... Prince, do you want to eat chestnuts?"

Si Haochen didn't make a sound, but spread his white and slender palms.

Mingruo felt that he was so talkative that Si Haochen was unwilling to peel the lotus seeds. Can he still expect him to peel the chestnuts by himself? Mingruo put the peeled chestnuts in his hand into Si Haochen's palm. Fortunately, Si Haochen was not "Zhou Pai Pi". Because he only ate one of them by himself, he basically did not affect his enjoyment of food.

The carriage stopped at the door of the palace, and Madam Dong quickly twisted a wet handkerchief to wipe Mingruo's hands. There were many people at the door, so Si Haochen still helped Mingruo and Qin Mo out of the carriage and then got into a wheelchair.

The two returned to Meiyuan and changed their court clothes and washed up. Zicao put the prepared food on the table. Mingruo ate a lot of snacks in the carriage and was no longer hungry, so he just drank porridge silently.

"Have you packed up all the things?" Si Haochen asked.

"Yeah." Mingruo nodded, "Zi Su, go back to Zhuyuan and take the bag I put in the study box."

"Yes, the princess." Zi Su responded.

"Zicao, give the candied haws and rabbit lamps I brought back just now to the prince." Mingruo thought for a moment, "Tell him to rinse his mouth well after eating candied haws, otherwise his teeth will be eaten by bad bugs."

"Haha." Zicao said with a smile, "I have recorded it."

After the two left, Si Haochen asked: "Have you told them where you are going?"

"Actually... I haven't told them that we are going out yet, and I have to pack my luggage myself." Although I knew that the royal mansion was like an iron bucket, I still felt that the fewer people knew about Si Haochen leaving Beijing privately, the better.

"Yes." Si Haochen nodded, and he became more and more satisfied with his princess.

When Zi Su came back, she only carried two medium-sized bags in her hand, and the bag skin was still the same gray cloth. Mingruo was not low-key, but for the sake of strength. Although the silk was beautiful and soft, it could not withstand the grinding.

"Those two?" Si Haochen was a little surprised.

He had seen Concubine Shen with the Supreme Emperor Qiuhun and Shen Bichi's luggage home, so he had to load at least three carriages.

"Yes." Mingruo nodded.

"Leave the things to A Yi." Si Haochen ordered.

Zisu went down with his baggage.

They set off after dinner. Mingruo was also stunned by Si Haochen's big move. There was a secret passage in a side hall in Meiyuan. Unlike the dark and narrow secret passage that I imagined, this secret passage was surrounded by bluestone, which could accommodate two horses in parallel. The stone troughs on the wall were filled with lamp oil, illuminating the secret passage as if it were daytime.

Walking down the last step, Mingruo saw two tall horses, one white and one black. Si Haochen turned over and jumped onto the white horse. The horse was very obedient and stood there motionless.

A Yi looked at Mingruo with some embarrassment: "Princess, can you ride a horse?"

"No." Ming Ruo shook her head. She had told Si Haochen long ago that she would not be able to ride a horse.

"I bring the princess with me." Si Haochen spoke.

"This...Lieyan is afraid it won't work..." Ah Yi knew that the Lieyan horse was as famous as his name, and had a very hot temper. Every day, the groom who served it would get too close, and he would get up.

Mingruo looked at the white horse carefully and it was not called the Fiery. The horse was snow-white all over, with only a cluster of maroon hair in the middle of the eyebrows, which looked like a leaping flame.

Everything needs communication. She walked up to Lieyan and looked at its eyes: "Lieyan isn't it? I'm very light. Let me take a ride."

Mingruo took out a few licorice candies from his sleeve bag: "I can pay the fare."

Ah Yi was sweating for the princess. Since he was hit by a serious and harsh man on the battlefield, as long as he was not a special groom, the flames would be served by him.

Lieyan sniffed, rolled up his tongue and rolled the candy cubes in Mingruo's hand into his mouth, chewing it loudly.

This horse is so well-behaved. Mingruo couldn't control his claws and reached out to rub Lieyan's mane: "So well-behaved."

Ah, his eyes were almost falling to the ground, Lieyan was so good. There were only two thoughts in his head - Lieyan took the wrong medicine, or was thrown away.
