One hundred and eighteen from Beijing
Xie Ning had a lot of luggage, and she had several boxes of clothes. She looked at Qinghe and Qingmei's packed luggage, and she couldn't figure out when she had saved up so many possessions. Besides, can she bring such things only to live for half a month?
She asked the question in her heart without realizing it. Qinghe looked at her in surprise: "There are so many things to visit the garden in the palace to enjoy flowers and treat guests. Do you want to wear a set of clothes every day to meet people?"
According to Qinghe, she even had to wear at least a dozen clothes for guests. No wonder she needed so many boxes to pack.
"This one is good, this one is good." Qingmei looked at the two skirts in her hand with great difficulty. One was duck egg green with silk thread embroidered with lotus flowers. The other was lotus root color, and the plain yarn skirt was very elegant.
But the box is no longer able to hold it.
Qinghe said decisively: "Pick another box to pack."
Xie Ning really wanted to say that if you took another box, Qingmei would not be satisfied with just putting a skirt in the new box. She would definitely have to fill the box to be willing to be satisfied. Such a situation would happen again when she was dressed.
The reason why Xie Ning was foreseeable was that this scene happened just now.
Not only her own things, but the second prince also has a lot of things. Although she is just a child who is not yet a hundred days old, she has a few boxes of clothes. There are also people serving him, even the wet nurse, Shanggong, the palace maid and the eunuch, there are more than a dozen people. Not to mention the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao.
This is not a summer vacation, it is like moving.
Fang Shanggong didn't feel that it was unnecessary to bring so many things. He smiled and said, "It seems that it's not useful now, but if something is short in the palace, would he send someone back to the palace to get it? He didn't bother and talk about it on the road, but he was afraid of delaying things."
This made sense, so Xie Ning had to hold the second prince and let them go.
The eldest prince came in with his little flute. He walked very lightly, like a cat.
"Why are you here? How are you packing your stuff?"
The eldest prince said: "I want to carry the flute with me and what if I can't find it in the box?"
Those below didn't dare to lose their master's things even if they lost themselves. However, Xie Ning understood the eldest prince's mood and nodded and said, "Then you can take it with you."
I remember when I was a child, my uncle made a grasshopper for her, and she was not relieved to pretend that she had to hold it in her hands. Later...
I lost my sleep halfway through.
Children are like this and they are reluctant to let go of what they like.
The eldest prince asked: "Will Mr. Wang go too?"
"Go."
Wang Moyan naturally had to go, and his current status is not only the master of the eldest prince, but also the imperial physician of Princess Yuyao. Princess Yuyao's condition has improved greatly now, and she made an exception yesterday and said something.
Although there are only two words.
That was when Shanggong was feeding her soup, she put her face away and said, "Don't eat it."
These two short words made Xie Ning excited and almost burst into tears. Although she would not speak up later, she would not speak.
But at least she is getting better.
Princess Yuyao's luggage could not be loaded in two or three cars, because she had greatly reduced the number of clothes and accessories in her mother's filial piety.
In addition to Yong'an Palace, there were also Xianfei, Han Chongrong and his daughter, Shi Shunyi, Gao Jieyu, Chen Jieyu and Li Zhaorong. There were countless people serving him. The convoy rushed out of Xuanyou Gate and walked south. Xie Ning had never seen the situation outside the palace since he entered the palace. Through the gauze curtain, he could see the people lying on both sides of the road.
She grabbed the second prince's little finger and pointed outside: "Look, this is outside the palace."
The second prince has been trying to snatch the gauze curtain, probably feeling that it is not clear to see outside through such a layer of things.
In fact, this shouldn't be like this outside the palace. Xie Ning vaguely remembered that when she entered the palace, the road was very lively, with traffic and crowds of people. But now with the emperor's emperor's emperor, these movements are no longer heard.
After leaving Nanxun Gate of the capital, he rode a horse from the front of the convoy and went to Xie Ning's car to hold his fists and salute: "I have seen Concubine Xie Jie, and the emperor has ordered Concubine Xie Jie and the second prince to go to the front."
Xie Ning had no choice but to respond: "I understand."
The car added a whip, passed the others and kept moving forward, sending Xie Ning and the second prince to the imperial chariot.
The emperor was sitting there with a book in his hand. He had just met a foreign minister, wearing a blue-gray dress and a gauze crown on his head. After Xie Ning came in, he served him to take off his outer robe, leaving only the moon-white fine linen gauze robe inside, which was cool and light.
"Are you tired of taking a car?" The emperor took the second prince over, smiled and pinched his little face, but asked Xie Ning.
"Not tired at all." Xie Ning said: "It's rare to leave the palace and be there for freshness."
The emperor said: "In the future, if you have free time, go to far places, climbing, riding horses, hunting, and there are many fun things."
Bai Hongqi brought the tea in and drank tea in the car. The tea should be less than usual, so as not to be spilled out when shaken. However, the imperial chariot was particularly stable, and the tea would only sway slightly in the cup.
"When you arrive at Jinfeng Garden, you will live in Qingbi Hall. The place is big and quiet, and it is close to me."
Xie Ning nodded and asked again: "Where is the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao?"
"Live with you."
OK, it's still the same as in Yong'an Palace.
"I haven't been there for several years." The emperor looked at the tree beside the palace road of the gauze curtain: "I was born in Jinfeng Garden."
This is the first time Xie Ning has heard of this, and no one has mentioned it before. If the emperor didn't say it, she would have thought that the emperor was born in the palace.
"Didn't the emperor be born in the palace?"
"No. At that time, the late emperor was also here to escape the summer heat, so I was born here."
The emperor seemed to be in a bad mood when he mentioned this matter. Xie Ning thought, maybe the emperor remembered the deceased empress dowager.
At this time, Xie Ning didn't know how to persuade him. Fortunately, the second prince made a fuss at this time and he urinated.
The warm boy urinated all over the emperor. The emperor, who had not yet been treated like this, was stunned. He held his chubby son with both hands and stared at the dark water marks spreading on his robe.
Xie Ning quickly took his son over and apologized for him with a smile: "The second prince is ignorant, the emperor forgives his crime." Bai Hongqi quickly took out his new robe and changed his clothes for the emperor, and took out the wet urine that had been replaced.
The emperor was just shocked and did not get angry. While changing clothes, he was smiling at the second prince. The second prince himself was not wet at all, and he was happily staying in Xie Ning's arms, sucking his thumb and drooling.
"I will remember it for him first, and settle the score with him when he gets older."
Xie Ning smiled and replied: "Yes, yes, yes." While thinking, how should the emperor keep the accounts? Will the servant who remembers the daily notes be recorded in the booklet? The emperor was wet with his clothes on a certain day of a certain month and a certain month of a certain year, and is it a special note to record this as a basis?
Bai Hongqi brought in fruit and tea, and there was a plate of lychees. It was mostly iced before it was served. As soon as he arrived on the imperial chariot, a layer of water droplets formed on the lychees' shell.
Xie Ning cleaned his hands and peeled the lychees for the emperor. He removed the hard shell outside. The lychees inside were as crystal clear as ice and snow, full and transparent. He took a bite of the sweet juice and poured out.
The emperor ate one and signaled Xie Ning to eat it himself. He leaned there and watched Xie Ning peel off the hard shell in an orderly manner and tear off the film coat. The white and crystal flesh set off her fair fingertips, making the scene beautiful enough to be painted.
"Have you tasted this before?"
"Your Majesty forgot? I and my uncle have been to the south. I have lived there for two years, but I have eaten this a lot." When I lived in the south, people often carry loads outside the courtyard wall and sell under the window. They are tied together, with green leaves on the bottom. For the sake of good looks, some water will be sprinkled on it. The red and green water droplets are crystal clear, which looks very good. However, it is not that easy to eat a bite of lychees in the north. Not everyone has the identity to enjoy lychees in the palace. Some can be attached to them, and some can't even see them.
Xie Ning dipped the second prince a little juice and tasted it, but the second prince didn't seem to appreciate the taste, and his little face wrinkled and twisted to the side.
"Oh, my second prince is quite picky, and even lychees don't look down on him."
The convoy did not stop during lunch because there were no soups and vegetables on the car. The weather was hot and the frying oil was not served. Xie Ning felt that the steamed fish was very delicious, and it was difficult for the chef to make it under such conditions. There was also a five-color cool dish, which was salty, fragrant and refreshing.
"When I arrived at the Golden Wind Garden, let the eldest prince follow the senior scholar to study some books." The emperor said: "I don't force him to read any good things, but I have to be literate and polite, and I cannot lose the royal tradition."
"I remember," Xie Ning reminded himself to turn around and tell Fang Shanggong, preparing the things you need to study, and asked again: "Where is Princess Yuyao? Do you want to ask Shanggong, the inner palace supervisor, to teach you?"
The emperor thought to himself: "She will wait a little longer, and she will recover from the disease first."
After lunch, someone handed over a brief message to see him. The emperor nodded and said, "Tell him to come."
Since the emperor wanted to meet with foreign ministers, Xie Ning took his son back.
Of course, it was not as comfortable as the imperial chariot when I went back to my car, but only the mother and son were more comfortable. Xie Ning also loosened his clothes and narrowed his eyes to nourish his spirits for a while.
Before coming, she asked Fang Shanggong about the situation in Jinfeng Garden. Fang Shanggong also said that she might live in Qingbi Hall, and the reason was exactly the same as the emperor said. The local large houses were exquisite, and the key was that they were closer to the emperor's residence.
"I remember there are grape shelves in the back yard of Qingbitang. I don't know if it has been changed now."
Xie Ning asked Fang Shanggong: "You have been to Jinfeng Garden before, have you? When did it happen?"
Fang Shanggong whispered: "It's been a few years, but I can't remember it very clearly."
Xie Ning remembered that Fang Shanggong had been in the needle office for many years before, so she should have been serving the concubine when she went to Jinfeng Garden. Mobile phone users should be visiting http://m.piaotian.net
