Chapter 312: Going out of the palace to open the palace
"I want another bowl..."
"Help me serve it."
"Stop eating vegetables. You've finished all my vegetables and tofu."
…
Tang Ning looked at Zhao Man who was devouring a bowl of white porridge. It was hard to imagine that this was a princess who had been pampered since she was a child and was well-dressed and well-fed.
A bowl of white porridge actually tasted like delicacies to her.
After he finished eating, he wiped his mouth, looked at Zhao Man, and asked, "Hasn't the princess had white porridge before?"
"No." Zhao Man replied, but the movements of his hands did not stop.
"What do you usually do in the imperial kitchen?"
"Bird's nest soup, shark's fin soup, and those porridges I don't know the names of..."
Tang Ning thought that princesses were pampered, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yingying could be so easy to feed. She could get by with a bowl of porridge and a dish of green vegetables and tofu. She was like a breath of fresh air among the ladies of princes and nobles.
"I'm full." Zhao Man put down the bowl, rubbed his slightly bulging belly, and leaned back comfortably on the chair.
Tangning pointed at the corner of her mouth.
Zhao Man looked at him and asked: "What?"
Tang Ning said, "There are rice grains."
Zhao Man reached out to pick it, but couldn't find it. Tang Ning stood up, walked to her side, and stretched out her hand.
Zhao Man immediately hid behind him warily: "What are you doing?"
Tangning waved her hand: "Then you can pick it yourself."
Zhao Man was startled, then sat down again: "You, please help me..."
Tang Ning stretched out her hand again and found that she had straightened her chest and was sitting upright, as if she was doing something ceremonial.
He stretched out his hand to help her take off the rice flakes from the corner of her mouth. Zhao Man looked at him, her eyelashes fluttered, and then she quickly lowered her head.
Tang Ning took back her hand and flicked the rice grains in her hand away. Then Zhao Man asked, "Why are you here?"
Tangning put away the two people's dishes and chopsticks and said, "Come here with your family to ask for signatures."
Zhao Man whispered: "I heard that the lottery in this temple is very good."
"They all said it was very effective." Tangning looked at her and asked curiously, "What did the princess do here? Could it be that she was asking for a fortune? What was the result?"
Zhao Man said: "The master said it was signed."
Tang Ning thought for a while and asked, "How much money did the princess donate for incense in this temple?"
Zhao Man said: "One thousand taels, what's wrong?"
Give him a thousand taels, not to mention the lucky draw, Tang Ning can make her draw even the super invincible lucky draw in the universe, it can be done secretly, it can be customized, draw three times and you will get one...
"Then congratulations to the princess." She was worried about the marriage, so Tangning would not try to undermine her and make her sad at this time. She stood up and said, "I have to leave. Goodbye, princess."
Zhao Man watched him walk out without hesitation, glanced at his mouth, and said, "If someone is so sad, I don't know what kind of friend I am if I stay with someone..."
When I was grabbing food with Tang Ning just now, all those worrying things were forgotten... Although this bad guy liked to make her angry and argue with her, it seemed that all the worries were forgotten when she was with him.
This is something she has never felt before.
Her mood was a little complicated. After sitting in the room for a while, she walked out of the wing and walked into the courtyard.
"Northern, do even Bodhisattvas think so..." She stood in the courtyard and murmured softly. She looked back and raised her head, just in time to see the three big characters on the plaque above her head.
North wing room.
…
It was already afternoon when I came back from the temple.
She stood motionless for two hours in the morning and was not idle when she came back. She went up the mountain and visited the temple. When Tang Ning got home, she was exhausted.
Xiao Ru walked in from the outside, shook the things in his hands, and asked: "Brother Xiao Ning, do you look good?"
What she holds in her hand is a pair of shoes that are only half the size of a palm. There is a tiger head in the front of the shoe, which is full of cartoon style.
Xiaoru brought the tiger-head shoes over and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao Lian's family makes tiger-head shoes. She just gave us two pairs."
Miss Xiao Lian was the frivolous and frivolous woman whom Tang Yaoyao helped today. When he came back today, he took her to his home outside the city.
Tangning took the tiger-head shoes, looked at them carefully, and said, "Put them away. You can wear them for your children later."
Su Ru's face turned red, she put the shoes away and said, "Brother Xiao Ning must be exhausted today. Let's rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time to eat."
Tang Ning was actually very tired. She lay on the bed, Xiao Ru put her hand on his head and massaged it gently, and soon fell asleep.
In the palace.
Chen Huang got up from the couch and asked, "What time is it now?"
Wei Jian came over and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Youshi has just passed."
Chen Huang took a wet cloth handed over by Wei Jian, wiped his face, and asked, "Is Man'er back?"
Wei Jian said: "The princess has been waiting outside the palace for half an hour. She was worried that it would disturb His Majesty's sleep, so she didn't let anyone inform her."
Chen Huang got down from the bed and said, "Let her come in."
Not long after, Zhao Man walked in from outside the door, bowed and said, "Man'er has met Father."
In the past, she had always barged in without hesitation, and she would not be so unfamiliar with him. Emperor Chen felt a little complicated and asked, "How was Man'er going out to play today?"
Zhao Man handed over a small object with both hands and said: "Sister Anyang took me to Xing'an Temple. My father is busy with state affairs and works hard on weekdays. Man'er asked for a peace charm for my father, hoping that my father would live long and safe."
"
Chen Huang took the peace talisman with a smile on his face and said, "Man'er is interested."
Zhao Man smiled slightly and said, "Man'er has something to ask my father."
Chen Huang thought for a while and said, "Just tell me."
Zhao Man said: "Man'er wants to leave the palace and open a mansion, please ask the emperor for permission."
Emperor Chen was startled. She suddenly became so sensible. He thought she was asking him not to let her marry far away from Chu. This matter was related to the relationship between the two countries. He could only bear to refuse. However, he did not expect that what she proposed was actually
A request to open the government.
After the royal princess reaches the age of sixteen, she can leave the palace and open a mansion. After getting married, the princess mansion will also be retained.
However, she was going to Chu State soon. At this time, it was too late to open a mansion, select a site, and build it.
Zhao Man looked at him and continued: "Man'er just wants to have a place to live outside the palace. There is no need to build a separate princess palace. He can see more of the outside world. In the future, he will not be in a foreign country that even the capital cannot imagine."
Emperor Chen thought for a while, nodded and said: "Wei Jian, take the princess to the inner palace to see if there are any vacant gardens in the capital. Let her choose one from them."
Wei Jian nodded and said, "Princess, come with me."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for the daily expenses of the royal family and the management of the royal family's property. After Wei Jian and Zhao Man walked in, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately saluted, "I have met the princess, and I have met Eunuch Wei."
Wei Jian gave an order, and immediately a eunuch took out a map of the capital. On the map, the royal houses and gardens of the capital were marked in detail. These houses and gardens were often given to important ministers who had made great contributions.
Wei Jian stepped forward and said, "Princess, please see which one you like."
Zhao Man walked to the map, looked at it carefully, pointed to a location on it, and said, "That's it."
An eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs stepped forward and looked at a house near Ping'an County Government. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "Your Highness, this is not a royal house. Royal houses are marked with red circles..."
Wei Jian glanced at him and said, "Since the princess likes it, just spend more money to buy it."
"This..." The eunuch looked embarrassed, and immediately another eunuch came forward and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Eunuch Wei, the princess can move in within three days."
…
Tang Ning encountered an annoying thing in recent days.
When I was washing and tying my hair a few days ago, I discovered that his hair has grown to his waist. His hair is too long, which makes it a little messy, and it is also inconvenient to tie it into a bun.
Although there is a saying that "the hair and skin of the body are influenced by the parents", in fact, people nowadays either never cut their hair all their lives, or it is more troublesome to cut hair. You need to find an auspicious day and store or burn the cut hair.
, to show respect for ancestors and parents.
He didn't have so many taboos anymore. He found the scissors for hair cutting, but just as he sat in front of the mirror, Zhong Yi walked in, looked at him, and said in surprise: "Ms. sir, what are you going to do?"
Tangning sat in front of the bronze mirror, turned around and said, "My hair is too long, let me cut it."
"No, no, no..." Zhong Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's unlucky if you can't cut your hair now."
Tangning asked in surprise: "Why?"
"Have you forgotten that it is the first lunar month?" Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "As the saying goes, if you cut your hair in the first lunar month, your uncle will die..."

Tang Ning did not hesitate, her hands rose and fell.
