The rain was gurgling outside the window, and the steaming water vapor in the steamer at the door blocked out the dampness and coldness. While waiting for her meal, Princess Changle looked around with interest.
Although her daily life is very simple, it is only compared to the royal family who eats extravagantly. Even if she eats vegetarian food in the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain, it is prepared by the royal chef in the palace herself, just like this street restaurant.
But I have never set foot in the store, let alone eaten the food that these peddlers and lackeys eat every day.
Fortunately, although she was a princess, she was not pretentious. Instead of finding anything unacceptable, she was very interested.
Life is too peaceful, and it is also interesting to be able to appreciate the difference from the tranquility.
The maid, who was also a female Taoist priest, had already brought the silver chopsticks from the carriage, and the dishes were always available. This surprised Fang Jun. He looked back and saw that the boss was preparing a meal outside the door. There was no one else in the store, and he couldn't help it.
Asked: "His Royal Highness took the dishes and chopsticks with him when he was out of the palace?"
Princess Changle probably didn't want Fang Jun to think she was spoiled, so she hurriedly said: "That's not the case. Xiao Yao will get married in a few days, so I moved back to the palace from the Taoist Temple to stay with Xiao Yao for some time.
I am accompanying my father, so I brought some things back to the palace."
Fang Jun suddenly realized: "No wonder I, a minister who left the city early in the morning, met His Highness by chance at the city gate..."
Princess Changle glanced at him and snorted: "What are you talking about? How can you be like this? It's just a treat. I chose such a shop. It's not that I dislike folk food. It's just that this place is full of people.
Where people go, the more people bump into you, the more rumors will inevitably spread."
She entered the city early in the morning and met Fang Jun as soon as she entered the city gate. This guy insisted on treating her to dinner, so she had no choice but to agree.
Speaking of which, as long as Fang Jun didn't stare at her with that fiery look that made her panic, and she felt as if he was about to be swallowed up by him, she was still willing to sit down with Fang Jun and chat for a while.
This person is far from being as powerful as the rumors outside. His knowledge may not be very high, but he is knowledgeable. He seems to be involved in astronomy, geography, medicine, and horoscopes.
A great Confucian, a famous official has a deeper understanding.
And from time to time, he has witty remarks and is very humorous, which is very refreshing.
Fang Jun said disapprovingly: "Between you and me, although there are a lot of rumors in the outside world, we are not afraid of shadows. We are innocent and have a clear conscience. Why are we afraid of those who are talking nonsense? Besides, although this place is
There are many pedestrians, but it is basically impossible for anyone who can recognize you and me to appear here, so your Highness can rest assured."
Biting her lips, Princess Changle's face turned red and she glared at Fang Jun bitterly.
If you have a clear conscience, you will naturally not be afraid of what others say. The key is, can you say that you have a clear conscience?
After a while, the boss arranged all the food in the store on the table. The two of them closed their mouths and looked at Lin Lin's various kinds of food on the table. Fang Jun waved his hand and said: "Okay.
Now, just wait outside. I'll let you know if I have any orders. If nothing happens, don't come in."
The boss was stunned and thought to himself, this is a shop. Is it possible that when customers come, I, the boss, are not allowed to come in and greet them?
A maid next to her had already taken out a gold nugget, placed it in the boss's hand, and warned: "My girl likes to be clean. If there are any more diners coming, please ask the boss to send them away."
The gold nugget weighed one or two, and the boss was almost overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, girl, we will save money!"
He quickly backed out.
Just kidding, this gold coin is enough to buy all the edible things in the store. If diners like this come to book the restaurant every day, they will get rich sooner or later...
The maid came forward to serve Princess Changle, but she waved her hand and rushed them to the door. They went to order some food and don't wait here.
The maid glanced at Fang Jun and knew more or less the ambiguity between Fang Shaobao and His Highness. She did not dare to say anything and went away obediently.
Fang Jun raised the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Princess Changle and said, "Your Highness, please use it!"
Princess Changle was not polite. She stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a meat bun, put it on a plate and dipped it in a little vinegar. She opened her cherry mouth and took a bite. It was steaming, warm, soft and delicious, and the thin-skinned filling was full of the aroma of mutton.
Her dark eyebrows were raised slightly like two willow leaves, and she praised: "It's delicious!"
Fang Jun liked her down-to-earth temperament even though she was a princess. He smiled and said, "If it's delicious, just eat more!"
However, I put a piece of scone into my mouth and a few pickled radishes. It was crisp and refreshing, and the taste was actually very good. I couldn't help but nod my head.
The two of them ate their meals separately without speaking. Occasionally they looked up and glanced at each other. Their eyes were clear and peaceful, but there seemed to be a certain kind of emotion spreading in this ordinary little shop. The desire to talk was still there.
, all in the silent fluctuations, making each other's hearts quite compatible.
It seems that even the ordinary snacks in the market are far better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas. If we can work together to cultivate the fields every day, and have a steaming meal when we get up early, we will no longer have to live in poverty and hardship.
It is also enough to make people intoxicated and enjoy themselves without thinking about Shu.
However, happiness is always short-lived and misfortune is never absent...
Even the rain outside the window seemed to be full of poetry and painting, and the air in the store was filled with inexplicable emotions. A shout broke this beautiful tranquility.
The soldiers brought by Fang Jun were all outside the store. At this time, someone yelled: "Please stop, please. This small restaurant has been booked by my husband. If you want to dine, please choose another one."
Then, there was no sound.
Fang Jun naturally didn't pay attention, but not long after, he suddenly looked up and saw two figures entering the store one after another. This made him quite annoyed. The soldiers he led were usually more arrogant and natural.
You know it well, but at this moment you let someone enter the store without making a sound, what are you doing to eat?!
When he first looked out of the window, he found that the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the door had thrown away their umbrellas and just knelt on one knee on both sides of the door, not daring to get up despite the rain falling on them.
Fang Jun's expression suddenly changed, and then he turned around and looked at the two people Shi Shiran walked into the store. The chopsticks in his hands almost fell to the ground. He stood up hurriedly and said in panic: "Your Majesty... uh..."
But he forgot that he was still chewing scones in his mouth, and he tried to swallow them but it got stuck in his throat.
Princess Changle also lost her beauty. She stood up in a hurry, dropped the plate in front of her on the ground, and smashed it into pieces. She hurriedly gathered her clothes and saluted, but her voice was like a mosquito: "Father..."
Her pretty face turned red first, then turned white. She was panic-stricken and frightened, but she wanted to strangle Fang Jun to death.
I thought I could choose an inconspicuous place among the marketplaces, where I could spend some time together quietly, have a meal, put aside all etiquette and ethics for the time being, and indulge in human nature without going out of line.
But he didn't want to meet his father.
Just now, Bangchui said that it was absolutely impossible to meet an acquaintance. Now, not only did he meet someone, but he was also the one he least wanted to meet...
How could I be so obsessed with it that I agreed to have breakfast with him?
Princess Changle was sitting on pins and needles, ashamed. She lowered her head and clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was so regretful.
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were dark, and he walked into the store with his hands behind his hands. He glared at Fang Jun fiercely and wanted to reprimand him. He caught a glimpse of Princess Changle's strange behavior at the end of his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and then saw his daughter's pair of clothes tightly grasping the corners of her clothes.
The knuckles of her delicate hands turned white due to excessive exertion, and her thin and slender body under the green robe was trembling...
The anger suddenly disappeared.
Giving Fang Jun a hard lesson would certainly make him feel angry, but how could Chang Le live with himself and feel so embarrassed? This daughter is the one that His Majesty Li Er is most satisfied with. She is usually dignified, virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, but it is entirely because of his selfishness.
Marrying her into the eldest grandson's family caused Changle's current difficult situation.
He felt guilty, and he also knew that under Changle's seemingly weak appearance, he actually hid a strong and unyielding heart. In the past, he was able to break up with his eldest grandson because of some rumors. Now if he said something harsh, he would not be ashamed.
I will be able to die by myself in order to thank the world...
If this is really the case, he, the emperor, will probably regret and feel guilty for the rest of his life. How can he still have the face to meet Queen Wende thousands of years from now?
In fact, if Princess Changle really keeps a few faces outside, even if it ruins the royal family's face, His Majesty Li Er will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. Who makes him feel that he has ruined Changle's happiness in life?
The reason why I am so angry right now is just because this "face" is Fang Jun. If it were anyone else, I might turn around and leave, out of sight and out of mind.
Thinking this way, the anger in my heart gradually calmed down.
Walking to the table, he looked at the food on the table and said loudly: "Bring me some bowls and chopsticks. I haven't slept all night, so I'm a little hungry."
The boss at the door was stunned for a moment, and then when he realized what he was doing, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground...
Mother!
The emperor came to my store?!
His first reaction was not to be glorious and glorious, but to think that he was probably unlucky. He was too far away from the emperor. It was just that he had the impression of an emperor in the plays he had read. According to the emperor in the play,
He is the most noble person in the world. If he scratches his skin in his shop, wouldn't he have to implicate the nine tribes and be executed?
