Yelu Sage obviously also worked hard to learn Han etiquette, and there was no mistake in etiquette after eating a meal. However, because of the addition of an outsider, the atmosphere was a bit dull compared to usual. Even King Yanbei, who likes to joke around and tease others, carried the air of his prince from beginning to end.
After finishing the meal, King Yanbei was about to go out, but Yelu Sage called King Yanbei when he got up: "Your Highness..."
King Yanbei looked at her blankly.
Yelu Sage's expression seemed a little hesitant, just when everyone thought that she would like to ask when the King of Yanbei was going to her yard, just like when she first came in, she said: "My lord, this Yunyang This is my first time here, I wonder if you can allow me to go out for a walk?"
King Yanbei raised his eyebrows, then glanced at the princess: "If you want to go out, report to the princess and bring some people with you." After saying this, King Yanbei left without looking back.
Xiao Jingxi also had something to do, so he also left after King Yanbei left.
As soon as King Yanbei left, Yelu Sage said to the princess: "Sister Wangfei, I have several maids who have served with me since I was a child. They didn't enter the palace with me yesterday. I don't know if I can let them in now. The government serves me?"
Yelu Sage had eight dowry maids, all of whom she brought out from Liao, but these maids were stopped when she entered the mansion yesterday, and they still live in the courtyard outside.
Hearing the words, the princess pondered for a moment, and then said: "Originally, according to the rules of our palace, they were not allowed to enter the palace, but since they have been by your side since childhood, it is not impossible for them to be accommodating. The etiquette nanny of the palace learns some rules."
Yelu Sage immediately said gratefully, "Thank you, Princess Princess."
The princess listened to her name, nodded her face without changing her face, called Mammy Xin, and in front of Yelv Sage told her to take some etiquette and go to teach Yelv Sage's maids in the other courtyard. Royal etiquette.
"Our palace has a lot of rules. I'm afraid they will have to study for a month or so before entering the palace. During this period, the princess, please use the maid of the palace to serve you."
It takes a month to learn the etiquette to enter the palace, although it takes a little longer. However, Yelu Sage just frowned a little and nodded in response, and then said, "Sister Wang Fei, can I go out and see if I want to go out today?"
Since the prince has already ordered, the princess naturally did not stop her, and was about to ask the maid Su Jin to arrange it, but Yelu Sage looked at Xiao Jinglin: "Is the county master free today? Can you accompany me to go out for a walk? I When I was in my hometown, I admired the name of the county lord for a long time, and I never had the opportunity to get acquainted, but I actually yearned for the county lord very much in my heart."
Yelu Sage used the word longing for Xiao Jinglin. I don't know if it was because she was not proficient in Chinese.
Although Xiao Jinglin told Ren Yaoqi not to have contact with Yelv Sage before, she glanced at the princess when Yelv Sage made this invitation to her. In fact, Xiao Jinglin also wanted to find an opportunity to explore the bottom of this Liao princess. The Yanbei Palace arranged Yelv Sage's residence near her Xihe Palace, which actually meant that she would keep the princess.
The princess smiled leniently. He said to Xiao Jinglin, "You're fine at home. Just go out with the princess and have a look."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Ren Yaoqi again, thinking about taking Ren Yaoqi out of the house. Yelu Sage noticed Xiao Jinglin's wink and offered to invite him, "If the young lady is free, how about we go together?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Yelv Sage and smiled.
Ren Yaoqi rarely speaks, but he has always paid attention to the words and deeds of this Liao princess. She found that the princess seemed to be very accustomed to taking the initiative. Although she had been very careful to make herself look friendly and submissive, the habit of words and deeds was not so easily concealed after being in the position for a long time.
It seems that this princess also has some status in the Liao Kingdom, but I don't know why she was sent to marry her. The royal women who are usually sent to be relatives are relatively unfavored, after all, the status of the relatives is embarrassing, and the identity of aliens is limited. Even if a child is born, the chances of being an heir are slim.
After thinking about it, the princess agreed to let Ren Yaoqi go out too, although she also felt that it would be better not to let Ren Yaoqi and Yelu Sage have more contact. However, with Xiao Jinglin around, Ren Yaoqi is also very cautious, so he can rest assured when he arrives.
Ren Yaoqi went back and changed into clothes that were convenient for going out. When she came out, Xiao Jinglin was already waiting for her at her door. Xiao Jinglin hesitated, "If you don't, don't go."
Ren Yaoqi held Xiao Jinglin's hand and said with a smile, "I may not have gone out for a long time, so it's better to go out for a walk. Isn't it with you? What are you afraid of? And I also brought Leshan Leshui with me."
Xiao Jinglin thought about it and said nothing.
Yelu Sage was faster than Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi. When they appeared, she was already waiting beside the carriage. Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin saw that she was looking at the carriage that was larger than the ordinary carriage. .
Yelu Sage did not wear Liao costumes today, but wore a lake-green double-breasted waistcoat with a very delicate magnolia flower pattern embroidered on the clothes, but she was taller than a Han woman, with shoulders and crotch. The skeleton is a little wider, so it's always a bit inconsistent to wear Hanfu.
Compared to Yelu Sage, although Xiao Jinglin is taller than ordinary women, her skeleton is evenly formed, so even though she is not weak, wearing Han women's clothes has a unique charm.
Yelu Sage looked at Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi, and tugged at his sleeves a little embarrassedly: "I'm still not used to your clothes, and they don't look as good as yours."
The three of them got into the same carriage together. Yelu Sage seemed to be new to everything, even the decorations in the carriage looked at her seriously and curiously.
The carriage carried the three of them out of the Yanbei Palace. Xiao Jinglin didn't speak, and Ren Yaoqi asked aloud, "I don't know where the princess wants to go shopping?"
Yelu Sage thought for a while, then smiled: "I'm not familiar with Yunyang City at all, so it's up to you to arrange."
Ren Yaoqi pondered for a moment, and then ordered the old woman who was driving outside to go to Zhengyang Street. Zhengyang Street is the main street of Yunyang City. There are many shops on both sides, and there are shops around. It is the most prosperous place in Yunyang City. Since you are going out for a stroll, then go to a lively place, which is relatively safe.
Yelu Sag naturally had no opinion, and looked around curiously along the way, with a look of great interest.
Seeing her like this, Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, "Has the princess never been to Yanbei before?"
Yelu Sage was looking curiously at a peddler with a stick of candied haws on his back. Hearing that, he nodded and said, "Well, this is my first time in Yanbei. It's much busier here than our Daliao. There are people selling things on the street. A lot."
The carriage made two laps along several main roads in Yunyang City, Yelu Sage's interest did not diminish along the way, until it was almost noon, she said: "I heard that all the teahouses and restaurants here have storytellers and performers. People? I've never seen people tell stories or sing operas."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, and Xiao Jinglin said without hesitation: "Then let's go and sit in the teahouse in front of you. It's almost noon. There are quite a few good restaurants nearby. Let's eat outside by the way."
Ren Yaoqi didn't object, Yelu Sage looked very happy.
The teahouse that Xiao Jinglin chose, Ren Yaoqi, had been here several times before, and it could entertain female relatives. The three of them entered the teahouse through the back door in a low-key manner, and then entered a large private room on the second floor under the leadership of the female shopkeeper.
Xiao Jinglin ordered a pot of Longjing and a few plates of dim sum and dried fruit.
Because Yelu Sage said that she wanted to listen to people's stories, Xiao Jinglin did not let the people in the teahouse clear the scene. Although it was a box on the second floor, the first floor could be seen from the hollowed-out windows, but people outside could not see what was going on in their house.
I don't know if it was a coincidence. The storyteller on the first floor was talking about the life of Xiao Qishan, the fourth king of Yanbei. He happened to be talking about the part of driving the Liao people out of Yanbei. Thunder. The applause continued.
Yelu Sage listened very seriously after he sat down. The storyteller was from Yanbei, so he naturally said that the old prince was brave and wise.
What single-handedly broke into the enemy's camp, with less victory and more surprise attacks, on the verge of desperation with divine help, the great hero of the people of Yanbei. In comparison, the old Liao King in the storytellers is insidious, cunning, cruel, stupid like a pig, and has bad luck.
Xiao Jinglin didn't change her face while drinking tea, Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, and casually introduced the snacks on the table to Yelu Sage, as if she hadn't heard the excitement outside.
It was not until this passage was finished that Yelu Sage said thoughtfully: "It is said that Lao Yanbei was a great hero, and I have heard of some of his deeds back then, but I have never heard of what the storyteller said. Pass."
Without waiting for Xiao Jinglin or Ren Yaoqi to answer, Yelu Sage took the initiative to change the subject and asked curiously, "Can storytellers tell about the prince?"
Xiao Jinglin gave Yelu Sage a look: "Are you interested in my father's affairs?"
Yelu Sage nodded frankly when he heard the words, and said seriously: "Yes, I want to know more about the prince."
Xiao Jinglin raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you see him before? Don't you know?"
Yelu Sage paused after hearing this, glanced at Xiao Jinglin, but said with a smile, "I want to know more." She did not deny that she had seen King Yanbei.
At this time, the sound of gunfire came from the window facing the street. It was very lively. Yelu Sage got up and looked curiously.
Hongying took a look and came back and said, "Today is the day when the Meng family sent their dowry to Yunfu."
