After visiting the Li family, His Royal Highness and the Eldest Princess followed the imperial concubine back to the boat to eat crayfish.
His Royal Highness ate a plate and put it away with satisfaction.
"Aunt Man Xing, I just want to write a letter to the Grand Master." He sat there obediently, blinking at Man Xing.
Naturally, Miss Manxing couldn't resist this kind of cuteness attack, she was defeated immediately, and ran to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
So the little prince sat by the side and obediently wrote letters to the grand master to report what he saw on the way, while his sister, Princess Qingxi, sat at the table and ate non-stop. The spicy and delicious smell wafted out continuously, but His Royal Highness remained unmoved, all the appetites were just floating clouds.
Concubine Shen Gui was also eating, but the empress removed the dishes and sat next to the prince to see what he had written.
Originally, when others were writing something, the elders would look at it and the children would be very nervous, but the prince may have been used to doing homework under the watchful eyes of the emperor and the grand master, so he adapted well. With a stern face, he wrote down everything he had seen and heard in Suzhou horizontally and vertically stroke by stroke.
"...The people of Gusu are very enthusiastic...the crayfish are delicious...Li's paintings live up to the name..."
The Empress looked at it pickily, and found that the child wanted to write and write. Is he still a child? She stared at the sentence "crayfish is very delicious" for a while, thinking that the cook really had to take it back to the palace, it's rare that Qiuqiu has something she likes to eat.
After a long time, His Royal Highness Qiuqiu put down the pen, carefully dried the ink on the letter paper, then folded it neatly, and asked Miss Manxing to seal it in an envelope and send it to the capital.
Record what he saw and heard on the way to the grand master. This is the homework assigned by the grand master before his departure. Fortunately, Qiuqiu is also very interested in recording these things, just like showing off the fun things he met to parents far away. He would send a letter every three days, and the grand master would reply with a brief greeting.
After finishing the homework, Qiuqiu had no burden, and happily ate the salty pastry.
"It's time to go to bed, little girls and boys." The imperial concubine wiped her mouth and said, "It's already very late."
Qingxi still didn't want to sleep, she rolled her eyes and thought of an excuse: "I just finished eating, and the imperial doctor said that I can't go to sleep immediately."
Shen Yuqing glanced at her: "Oh, then go wander around the deck for a quarter of an hour, and then go to sleep."
Qingxi: "..."
No, she didn't want to hang around the deck like a monkey and be seen as a monkey.
"Am I still your favorite daughter?" Qingxi asked pretending to be pitiful.
The imperial concubine was indifferent: "No."
Qingxi, who failed to pretend to be pitiful, had no choice but to go for a walk outside to refresh herself.
Seeing that his sister ate, His Royal Highness immediately put down his oily paws that were still holding on to the pastry, asked Man Xing to clean and wipe him quickly, and then rolled back to his room to sleep.
Seeing how well-behaved her son was, Concubine Shen patted his head with satisfaction: "Let's go to Lin'an tomorrow, there is a beautiful view of the West Lake, you must like it."
As for the world-famous West Lake Vinegar Fish, I won’t tell him. The sweet and sour dish hits the spotlight of the ball. He neither likes sweet food nor sour food.
Suzhou also has a world-famous sweet and sour dish called squirrel mandarin fish. Today, I served a dish at Li's house during the day. Shen Yuqing doesn't like sweet and sour food either, but she is fine with this dish. Qiuqiu took a sip and then never touched it again, feeling very resentful towards Li's cook.
When Qiuqiu heard that he was going to West Lake, he immediately became interested.
West Lake is a place that scholars all over the world yearn for. Since ancient times, there have been countless poems and articles describing West Lake. Before leaving, the grand master told him that he must go to the West Lake for a walk, and Qiuqiu has long been fascinated.
He happily gave mother and concubine a kiss, and then went back to the house to rest.
Concubine Shen Gui smiled, and asked someone to go to the inn to pass the news: "Go and tell Your Majesty that we will leave for Lin'an tomorrow."
His Majesty the Emperor who received the news:? ?
Are you the emperor or is he the emperor? Don't you think it's too easy for you to decide on your own
Empress Dowager: I don’t think so :)
But His Majesty the Emperor didn't dare to have any opinions, after all he also knew that Shen Yuqing was a thief with no conscience. If he dared to disagree, Shen Yuqing would be able to command the boat to Lin'an tomorrow and leave him in Suzhou.
If he was really left behind, wouldn't he be shameless as an emperor? So people have to bow their heads under the eaves, he should obediently listen to Shen Guifei's words.
However, it was obvious that the boat belonged to him!
His Majesty the Emperor sadly agreed with the imperial concubine's decision, and then asked Jin Li to pack up and go back to the boat tomorrow morning. Miss Jinli held back her smile, turned around to pack her luggage with a calm expression on her face, she couldn't tell that there was much drama in her heart.
The next day, the group going south set off for Lin'an. Even if Concubine Xian and Concubine Lan didn't want to move their nests anymore, they had to keep up now, but they were really not very happy in their hearts.
Concubine Lan didn't go shopping after she came, she stayed in the inn all the time, she would be a ghost if she was happy. As for Concubine Xian, her health is getting worse and worse, and she prefers to recuperate slowly in the inn instead of tossing and tossing. Even the second princess had to take care of her biological mother, so she had no chance to go out to play.
Yingxia blamed Concubine Xian a little in her heart, thinking that Concubine Mu always hangs the chain at critical moments. After finally being able to come out to play, she happened to be sick, which made it impossible for her to go out to play.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a genius doctor in Lin'an City who may be able to cure the poison in your body." After getting on the boat and hearing about the destination, Mammy Cao suddenly thought of this.
Concubine Xian is not in a good mood recently and often feels sleepy. Hearing this, he rubbed his temples and frowned slightly: "What miracle doctor? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Cao Mama hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, forgot? There is a tavern in Lin'an City, which also sells some magical medicines, which cure many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and some pills for strengthening the body."
It is said that a genius doctor made it, but the genius doctor himself is so inexperienced that no one seems to be able to find him after all these years. Only the proprietress of the tavern has seen the miracle doctor and sells miracle medicine for him.
In the past, various forces sent people to watch the proprietress, but they never thought that the proprietress was so skilled that the people they sent would always be lost. In the end, no one was able to find the residence of the miracle doctor, and the miracle medicine was still monopolized by the proprietress alone.
The proprietress seems not very good at doing business, and she is not willing to cooperate with other forces to sell medicine. Before, someone tried to suppress the proprietress to force her to submit, but she entered the house and beat her up.
In the face of absolute strength, those with small minds are also discouraged. If you provoke her again, the next time the proprietress won't come in and beat them up, but will kill them directly. The point is that they haven't been able to find any evidence that the boss's wife did it, and they can't bring people to justice even if they die.
As soon as Concubine Xian was reminded by her, she immediately remembered this.
I don't know if the miracle doctor will be found, but the pills can still be bought. Maybe the pill can cure her poison
"Let Luqiao buy it when the time comes." Concubine Xian cheered up, "Don't let people notice."
Can't let those women know she was poisoned.
Granny Cao nodded again and again: "Your Majesty, don't worry."
As long as the empress recovered from her illness, both she and the empress would be free to teach the second princess. Otherwise, if the second princess continues like this, the consequences will be disastrous.
On the other side, the imperial concubine and empress were also talking about this miraculous doctor.
In such a big Lin'an, there is actually nothing else to talk about. In recent years, what people have been talking about is this miracle doctor and that miraculous proprietress.
"I heard that Boss Yin was a child picked up by an owner of a tavern. He raised him for ten years. The original owner passed away. He had no wife and no children. Seeing that Boss Yin was kind-hearted, he passed on the tavern to her. She has a place to live and live." These news are naturally said by Miss Dong Xiao, a young intelligence expert, "It seems that when she was picked up, she already possessed martial arts, but no one knew her origin, and the government couldn't find out. "
So it is speculated that Boss Yin might have been a disciple cultivated by some shady Jianghu forces, but then she found a chance to escape and lived here incognito.
"Oh? Isn't she afraid that that force will come to her?" The empress asked with great interest.
Dong Xiao shook his head: "I haven't pursued him for so many years, so I guess I gave up. Besides, Boss Yin has made many forces return without success. It can be seen that he is very accomplished in martial arts, and he probably won't be afraid of those forces chasing him again."
Shen Yuqing raised her eyebrows: "What about the genius doctor?"
"I don't know." Dong Xiao replied bluntly, "His Majesty's intelligence organization failed to find out either."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Yuqing, and the point was obvious—His Majesty the Emperor couldn't find out the origin of the imperial concubine or empress.
In this way, this Boss Yin's strength is at least not much worse than that of He Man next to Concubine Yun.
Shen Yuqing is not interested in exploring other people's secrets, but she is very interested in those magical medicines, and plans to go back and have a look with the empress. I don't know if the magic medicine is really miraculous, I will buy some with the emperor's money and see. If it is useful, keep it, and if it is useless, return it to the emperor.
Presumably His Majesty the Emperor would be happy to spend money to buy some magic medicine for his sister to protect her body.
Just as he was speaking, he left the boundary of Suzhou and officially entered the boundary of Lin'an.
The provincial system has been in place since the previous dynasty, and it is now more complete. Suzhou is the southernmost point of Central Beijing Province, while Lin'an is the northernmost point of Zhejiang Province, and is the "Southern Capital" of the dynasty.
When the People’s Republic of China was just founded, once it was temporarily evacuated from Huaijing by other insurgents. At that time, Tai-zu stopped in Hangzhou and made Hangzhou a temporary capital. Therefore, Hangzhou is also called "Lin'an", that is, the temporary capital of security. meaning. It didn't take long to turn around and take Huaijing back. Taizu believed that Lin'an was the geomantic treasure of the dynasty, and its status as the "Southern Capital" has been preserved. It is the most prosperous city in the Jiangnan area except Huaijing.
Xie Lingfeng was originally sent to the county town near Lin'an as the county magistrate, and later took over the position of magistrate. It can be seen that his holy family is prosperous, ordinary people have no chance to come to Nandu to be the magistrate.
Suzhou and Lin'an are next to each other, so we arrived soon. It was exactly noon when the boat docked.
Jin Li sent a young eunuch with fast legs to book a table in a restaurant by the West Lake. The imperial concubine decided to stay in Nandu for a few more days, and Nandu happened to have another courtyard of the Shen family, so she decided to simply live there.
But before that, go to the West Lake to have a meal.
Famous Hangzhou dishes such as West Lake Vinegar Fish, Longjing Shrimp, and Fried Bells were presented one by one, and Qixue and Qingxi stared straight at them. They didn't eat anything in the morning, and they were already hungry at the moment. When His Majesty moved his chopsticks, they immediately started eating.
Concubine Xian went to another courtyard to recuperate first, while Concubine Lan took the second princess to sit in the last seat. The bosses above were chatting while eating, but they couldn't get in a word.
Yingxia squeezed the spoon tightly, and the corners of her mouth drooped uncontrollably.
Concubine Wei accidentally turned her head to see the little girl's aggrieved look, and couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted.
She has no contact with Yingxia, so she doesn't know what kind of temper this little girl has. But although Concubine Xian didn't please them, the child was innocent, she sighed, and gave Yingxia a piece of shrimp.
"Second Princess, eat more." She coaxed gently.
Yingxia squeezed the spoon even tighter, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, Concubine Wei."
That being said, he didn't eat the shrimp. Lu Qiao, who was serving Yingxia, looked at Concubine Wei with a vague and dissatisfied look, and said flatly: "Your Majesty, it's better to change the serving chopsticks next time."
Concubine Wei's smile froze.
On weekdays, she served Prince Qingxi and the others food, and she didn't need to change to serving chopsticks, so Concubine Wei forgot about it. Now being pointed out by Luqiao, I can't help being a little embarrassed, as if she is very unruly.
I just don't know if Yingxia's refusal to eat the shrimp is really because she dislikes not using dirty chopsticks
Concubine Yun put down her chopsticks, and slowly pulled out a silk handkerchief to wipe Concubine Wei's right hand: "Come on, this servant doesn't understand the rules and offended Concubine Wei." Concubine Yun looked up at Luqiao, the corners of her lips slightly Hook, "Twenty palms."
Luqiao's face changed.
Forgive her no matter how good her martial arts are, in this era of supremacy of imperial power, she cannot openly resist. She herself could resist and run away, but Concubine Xian and the others couldn't. Luqiao couldn't offend the emperor once again because of her actions, so she could only let a few eunuchs with no martial arts hold her down and slap her face twenty times in humiliation.
Concubine Yun's eyes flashed with joy. Although she came from interstellar, she likes the world where everyone is equal, and she doesn't like this kind of master-slave relationship. But I have to admit, sometimes it is really cool.
Luqiao is a purebred ancient, so naturally he has no excuse not to respect the rules of this world. If she can't bear the price of resistance, she shouldn't be a servant while looking down on her master.
After all, Concubine Wei is also the second-rank concubine appointed by the emperor. If she didn't dislike the title of fourth concubine, she would have been promoted to fourth concubine long ago. At that time, Concubine Xian's status will not be much higher than hers, so why should Lu Qiao disrespect her
A servant who gave her the guts to criticize her master's actions.
Yingxia cried out in fright when she saw her aunt Luqiao who had always been protecting her being bullied.
The eunuch called by Concubine Yun was already strong in hand, but seeing the laissez-faire attitude of the big bosses above, he immediately worked harder. After two strokes, Luqiao's face became swollen.
"Father! Father!" Yingxia cried and ran over to grab the emperor's sleeve, "Aunt Luqiao didn't do it on purpose, please let Concubine Yun let her go!"
His Majesty the Emperor silently glanced at He Man who was behind Concubine Yun, and Concubine Shen who was about to go up and beat someone by herself, and immediately forgot all the thoughts he shouldn't have. He said solemnly: "Lvqiao doesn't understand the rules, this time it's just a small punishment and a big warning, not punishing her to go back to Chuxiu Palace to learn the rules again, and it's an extrajudicial favor."
Yingxia looked at her father in disbelief, why would her father, who had always doted on her, slap her in the face for a woman who didn't have much status? Luqiao is the maid who always takes care of her. Hitting Luqiao is equivalent to beating her. She may not feel sorry for Luqiao, but she cannot tolerate someone stepping on her face!
"Luqiao is absolutely right! It's obviously Concubine Yun who is making a big fuss!" Yingxia's voice suddenly became sharp.
The ear-piercing voice made His Majesty frowned slightly, and he withdrew his sleeve from his little daughter's hand with a cold face: "Yingxia, you don't know the rules anymore? Not only did you refuse to touch the cloth vegetables that your concubine Weimu kindly gave you, you also refused to touch them. Indulge the maidservants to disrespect the mother and concubine. Since you refuse to eat, then you don’t want to eat this meal either. Someone, send their master and servant back to the other courtyard. Without my order, the concubine Xian and the second princess are not allowed to enter or leave the other courtyard at will .”
The hysterical Yingxia was dragged down with her mouth covered.
Usually the palace people would not dare to treat the little princess like this, but since His Majesty the Emperor has made it clear that he already dislikes this daughter, then they are not afraid of offending each other. Poor Concubine Xian finally spent a few years to ease the emperor's attitude, but she was tricked by the pig teammate's daughter, and everything returned to the original point.
His Majesty the Emperor rubbed the center of his brows: "I originally thought that she would not have much time..."
So being kind to her and her daughter is counted as doing good deeds. It's a pity that they don't seem to know what is enough to stop, they only know how to make progress. Especially the second princess, who was spoiled by the concubine Xian, she didn't look like such a stupid woman.
"I'm afraid that Luqiao was petted." The empress put down her chopsticks slowly, "I think that Luqiao is also very ignorant of the rules, so what kind of good girl can he teach?"
If it wasn't for the person who knew that Lu Qiao was a concubine, he might have thought that Lu Qiao and Ying Xia had a grudge against her, and would kill her on purpose.
The imperial concubine laughed lightly: "Why do you have to be angry with the little girl? Since you don't know the rules, just find a few more strict nuns to teach her. I think Yingxia is getting old, how can a five-year-old princess Can you still live with your mother and concubine? Choose a palace for Yingxia and let her live alone."
Princess Qingxi, who was thirteen years old and still lived with her mother, buried herself in hard work, pretending that she didn't exist.
Princess Dayan usually has her own palace when she is ten years old, and if she is earlier, she can be five years old. But now that Concubine Xian lost her daughter, it was equivalent to losing an excellent excuse. In the future, it will be much more troublesome to lure the emperor to her Feiyue Palace.
However, Shen Yuqing's suggestion of nurturing the nanny was also approved by the two princesses, Qingxi and Qixue. They have also been abused by nuns who educated them, and they wished to give Yingxia the same people they were back then.
Therefore, the proposal of the imperial concubine was approved by everyone. Concubine Yun also felt that this method of killing people without blood was more advanced, and decided to learn from it in the future.
After dinner, a group of people separated.
It's only March in Yangchun now, and it's not too hot even in the afternoon, so it's good to go to the West Lake to digest food. Concubine Yun felt sorry for Concubine Wei who had just been bullied, so she took someone's little hand to Sudi to play romance, saying that she wanted to appease Concubine Wei's little heart. The empress and the imperial concubine decided that it would be better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and went directly to see how good the miracle doctor's pill was.
"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Qingxi was full, and the sweet and sour dishes were her favorite. Hearing that the concubine mother and the queen mother were going to visit the tavern, she immediately became interested.
The tavern, she hasn't seen it yet, is there a lot of wine in it? Moreover, the owner of the tavern is a woman, and female owners are rare.
"Is Qiuqiu going?" Shen Yuqing turned her head and asked her son.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yawned a little: "Gu, Gu is a little sleepy... um, yawn..."
Shen Yuqing couldn't help laughing, rubbed his little head: "Let Aunt Man Xing take you back to sleep."
In the end, they brought Dong Xiao along to take care of Her Royal Highness.
Dong Xiao is also very interested in those pills, and she knows more about them. The tavern opened in a town near Lin'an, not in the main city, so I had to take a carriage there.
It's not very far, about two quarters of an hour. On the way, Dongxiao was afraid that they would be bored, so he talked about other interesting things about Lin'an while walking.
For example: "During the days when we first set off, I heard that the daughter of the Mo family had been hugged by mistake, and they have already found their own daughter. The one who was hugged by mistake was given some money, but I don't know where it went. I just had dinner. At that time, the servant and the information hall here shared the news, only then did I know that the daughter of the Mo family had actually come to Lin'an, bought some land and Zhuangzi in a small town near Lin'an, and became a landlord."
"She established a female household?" Shen Yuqing asked casually.
A girl who is alone can set up a female household. What Dong Xiao meant was that the wronged Miss Mo didn't go to find her biological parents, but instead settled down in Lin'an.
"Yes, a female household has been established." Dong Xiao nodded, "Her biological parents were taken to Huaijing by the real Miss Mo and raised in a village outside the city. The daughter raised by those parents was very popular Yes, how can you care for your own daughter who was kicked out of Mo's house? Anyway, they have never raised them since they were young, and they have no affection at all."
Shen Yuqing clicked her tongue after hearing this. This development is similar to the previous dog-blood novels. Miss Zhen who embraced the wrong daughter and grew up with poor parents suffered a lot but was still true, kind and beautiful. The young lady turned into a vicious female supporting role. In the end, the fake lady kept killing her, and the real lady was always likable, so the fake lady was kicked out of the house, her six relatives didn't recognize her, and her parents didn't like her either. The real lady got two pairs of parents and a perfect son.
"But I heard that it was the fake Miss Mo who first found out that the baby was in the wrong arms, and then she took the initiative to tell the head of the Mo family and the wife of the head of the house." Dong Xiao looked puzzled. If she was that Miss Mo, she definitely wouldn't Will tell it out, how long can I hide it.
But it's also good to talk about it. Miss Mo has received a lot of compensation from the Mo family, and the money is enough for her to live for several lifetimes.
The author has something to say: Why is Nanjing the capital and Hangzhou the southern capital? Because I am from Nanjing, and my cp is from Hangzhou, so I am so self-willed.
Ms. Fake Mo is the beggar sister cp, beggar sister's next chapter is home, don't worry
