Hearing Prince Yun speak so politely, Dean Chen's sweat that had fallen started to break out from his forehead again, but he did not dare to wipe it away: "Your Majesty, you are so polite, I will report it to your Majesty."
"Go back home." Si Haochen said in a deep voice.
Mingruo pushed Si Haochen out of the side hall. Qin Mo had already prepared a shoulder cart. When Mingruo stepped forward to help him, he took the opportunity to take out the silver needle stuck in his body. Mingruo and Si Haochen sat side by side on the shoulder cart.
, far away from the bustling Qianqiu Palace.
Returning to the carriage, Mingruo took off her veil, put it in her sleeve pocket, and let out a breath.
"Are you nervous?" Si Haochen took out a complete tea set from the low cabinet, and even a small red clay stove.
"It's not that I'm nervous, it's that I'm mentally nervous." Mingruo saw Si Haochen yelling at the sky and the earth one night, and felt that entering the palace with him would make her feel twice as safe.
Si Haochen can understand what Mingruo said about "mental stress", because even he has to cheer up in the palace. There are many dark, treacherous and dirty methods hidden in the magnificent palace, each of which is...
It can kill people.
The carriage was driving on the wide street. The street, which is usually deserted after dark, was very lively today. Some vendors set up stalls, and some sold carts selling various small things. But this is the inner city of the imperial capital, even if it is moonlit
It is allowed to set up stalls during festivals, but is not allowed to block lanes. There are patrols and management by officers from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and Jingzhao Prefecture.
Mingruo was sitting in the carriage, looking at the busy street outside through the gap in the curtain, blinking with her big eyes: "Your Majesty, can I go down and take a look?"
"No." Si Haochen frowned when he saw the pedestrians rubbing shoulders on both sides of the road.
"Oh." Mingruo didn't insist. They were going out of town tonight and really didn't have time to go shopping.
Seeing the light in Mingruo's eyes dimming, Si Haochen finally couldn't bear it: "Whatever you want, you can let Ha Yi buy it."
"Really?" After tossing around in the palace for a long time, Mingruo was already hungry and pointed at the roadside stalls, "I want candied chestnuts, osmanthus cake, cloud cake, vegetarian rolls and candied haws!"
Ming Ruo reported a bunch of 'dish names', and in the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ah Yi brought back all the big and small bags. There was also a lantern stick under his arm, which was a rabbit lantern.
Ah stuffed all the food into Mother Dong, held up the rabbit lantern and asked Mingruo: "Princess, do you want this lantern? I accidentally bumped into it when I was shopping just now, and the vendor insisted on me buying it."
"Give it to me." Even the things on the stalls in the inner city are very exquisite. The rabbit lantern is made of thin cocoon silk, and the rabbit's hair is drawn with a very fine pen, and candles are lit inside, making it vivid.
of.
Mingruo tasted a piece of each snack, and then began to peel chestnuts to eat - sweet, glutinous, and delicious! Si Haochen looked at Mingruo with a smile in his eyes, and Mingruo looked up and met those eyes as deep as the sea.
.
Mingruo guessed that Si Haochen was shocked by the way she was eating, so he looked at her directly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you want to eat chestnuts?"
Si Haochen didn't say anything, just spread his fair and slender palms.
Mingruo felt that he was so talkative. Si Haochen was unwilling to peel lotus seeds. How could he be expected to peel chestnuts by himself? Mingruo put the peeled chestnuts in his hand into Si Haochen's palm. Fortunately, Si Haochen was not Zhou Bapi.
', because he ate three pills while he ate one, which basically didn't affect the enjoyment of the food.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and Aunt Dong quickly twisted the wet handkerchief to wipe Mingruo's hands. There were many people at the door, so Si Haochen was helped out of the carriage by Mingruo and Qin Mo, and then got into the wheelchair.
The two returned to Meiyuan, where they changed out of their court clothes and washed up. Zicao put the prepared meals on the table, and Mingruo was no longer hungry after eating many snacks on the carriage, so she just drank porridge in silence.
"Have everything been packed?" Si Haochen asked.
"Yes." Mingruo nodded, "Zisu, go back to Zhuyuan and get the bundle I put in the box in the study."
"Yes, Princess." Zi Su responded.
"Zicao, give the young prince the candied haws and rabbit lanterns I just brought back." Mingruo thought for a moment, "Tell him to rinse his mouth after eating the candied haws, otherwise his teeth will be eaten by bad bugs."
"Haha." Zicao said with a smile, "I have written it down."
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. I packed the luggage myself." Although I knew that the palace was like an iron bucket, I still felt that the less people knew about Si Haochen's private departure from Beijing, the better.
"Yes." Si Haochen nodded, he was becoming more and more satisfied with his princess.
When Zi Su came back, she only carried two medium-sized bags in her hands. The bag skin was still the same kind of dusty homespun cloth. Mingruo was not low-key, but for strength. Although the silk and satin were beautiful and soft, they could not withstand the wear and tear.
.
"Just these two?" Si Haochen was a little surprised.
He had seen Concubine Shen accompanying the Crown Prince Qiu Lie, and Shen Bichi's luggage for returning home, which would have to be loaded onto three carriages at least.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded.
"Give the things to Ah Yi." Si Haochen ordered.
Zisu went down with the baggage.
They set off after eating. Mingruo was also shocked by Si Haochen's generosity. There was actually a secret passage in a side hall of Meiyuan. Unlike the dark and narrow secret passage as imagined, this secret passage was surrounded by bluestones and could
Two horses were allowed to walk side by side. The stone troughs on the wall were filled with lamp oil, illuminating the secret passage like daylight.
After 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.
Ah Yi looked at Mingruo with some embarrassment: "Princess, do you know how to ride a horse?"
"No." Mingruo shook her head. She had already told Si Haochen that she couldn't ride a horse, okay?
"I am taking the princess with me." Si Haochen said.
"This... I'm afraid Lie Yan won't be able to do it..." Ha Yi knew that, as its name suggests, the Lie Yan horse has a very hot temper. The groom who serves it every day would kick his head if he got too close.
Mingruo looked at the white horse carefully and wondered whether it was called Lieyan. The horse was completely white except for a tuft of maroon hair in the middle of its eyebrows, which looked very much like a leaping flame.
Everything requires communication. She walked up to Lieyan and looked into its eyes: " Lieyan, right? I'm very light. Let me take a ride."
Mingruo took out a few licorice candies from his sleeve pocket and said, "I can pay the fare."
Ah Yi was worried about the princess. Ever since he suffered a vicious attack on the battlefield, Li Yan would always serve her with big hooves unless it was fed by a specialized groom.
Lieyan snorted, rolled his tongue into the candy bar in Mingruo's hand, and chewed it loudly.
This horse is so well-behaved. Mingruo couldn't control his paws and reached out to stroke Lieyan's mane: "So well-behaved."
At first sight, my eyes almost dropped to the ground, Lieyan, be a good boy. There were only two thoughts in my head - Lieyan took the wrong medicine, or maybe he was dropped.
