Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 292 Harem (3)
The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head, and said to the Queen: "This child is very good."
The queen nodded and said, "My son, I think what the queen said is right. She is indeed very good."
Yue Qing pouted and said: "Grandma, you said just now that you like me very much, and you want me to stay with you in the palace for a few more days. You see, I just made the first request, and you think I'm annoying. ”
The Queen Mother pointed at her and said: "Hey, you are irritating me. Well, it's time for my old bones to exercise. I will accompany you, this little clever one, around the palace."
Yue Qing nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, Yuqing can feel it. Grandma, you really love me."
The Queen Mother shook her head, "Oh, this mouth is not forgiving. From what I hear, if I don't accompany you, I won't love you."
Yue Qing nodded: "Of course, if you don't accompany me, it will be a fake pain, and Yu Qing will be sad."
The queen mother was amused by her and said to the fourth prince: "Mu Cheng, your father had the foresight to ask you to accompany her in advance."
The fourth prince said: "Grandma Huang finally knows the role of her grandson."
The queen worriedly said: "Mother, how can you with your body be troubled by these young people? Why don't you just rest in the palace, and my sons and daughters can accompany her."
Then he said to Yue Qing: "My child, the Queen Mother is getting older and she does get into trouble a lot. How about I accompany you around."
Yue Qing thought for a while and shook her head: "No."
The queen laughed and narrowed her eyes: "Oh, why is this?"
Yue Qing said: "Because the Queen Mother is young, she doesn't need anyone to accompany her. Now I and the Queen Mother and Grandma keep each other company. I make her happy, and she makes me happy. The two are different. Grandmother, the Queen Mother, if you feel tired, You can ride in a soft sedan."
The queen was stunned and didn't think of how to refute her.
The Queen Mother laughed: "Okay, the Ai family has already said that they will accompany Yuqing around. It's okay to walk a few steps, so the queen doesn't need to worry. Shunxi, go prepare the soft sedan."
Eunuch Hou responded and went to prepare.
Yue Qing watched him leave, and took the initiative to hold the Queen Mother's arm with a happy look on her face. Seeing that the queen's face was obviously not as good as before, Yue Qing hurriedly said: "Queen, if you want to transfer, why not come with us?"
The queen smiled and said, "I won't be going. I just remembered that there are still some things to deal with in the palace. My mother, my sons and my ministers have also left first."
The Queen Mother said: "Okay, go ahead."
The queen glanced at Yue Qing and said, "If Yu Qing recovers, you can come to my palace and sit there too."
Yue Qing said: "If there is still time, I will try my best to go."
The queen nodded, got up and left with the maids.
Eunuch Hou quickly prepared the soft sedan, and the Queen Mother stood up and said, "Let's go and walk around. Take Yuqing to get familiar with the palace environment."
Of course, Yue Qing had to prepare for the Queen Mother to sit in a soft sedan chair, but Yue Qing did not sit in it, saying that she would sit down when she was tired from running.
Eunuch Hou asked: "Old ancestor, where should we go first?"
Queen Mother: "Where do you want to go, girl Yuqing?"
Yue Qing raised her head and looked at her: "Grandma the Queen Mother, this is my first time here. I don't know where the fun is. I can go wherever the scenery is good."
"Did you hear that, Soon Hee?"
Eunuch Hou said: "Oh, Princess, there are so many beautiful places in this harem."
"Then let's go and have a look." Yue Qing waved her hand, "Let's go quickly." After saying that, she walked forward on her own.
Eunuch Hou nodded and hurriedly greeted the young eunuchs to set off.
The fourth prince looked at Yue Qing's brisk steps and walked a few steps to her side, "Sister Yuqing, don't walk so fast. Wait for me."
Yue Qing looked at him, then touched the thick golden nanmu pillar next to it, and the golden phoenix made of pure gold on it.
"Don't worry, I'm waiting for you. I'm still waiting for you to show me the way. After all, this is also your home. Of course you will be familiar with it."
The fourth prince said: "The palace is so big, and there are many places I have never been to."
Yue Qing waved her hands and walked in front: "Is there any place you haven't been to yet?"
"Of course, not all places in this palace are open to play, and there are some places where you are not allowed to wander."
"Oh, I understand, I understand. It's the same in our villa. You're not allowed to go to many places."
The fourth prince asked: "Oh, is it the same in the villa?"
"Yes."
The fourth prince said: "Look, I have been traveling around the palace with you today. I wonder if you can also take me to the villa."
Yue Qing looked at him: "You don't have to accompany me. I didn't say that you must accompany me. If you are unwilling, just go back now."
"No, no, I'm willing, of course I'm willing."
"Well, that's pretty much it. When I was in Li Country, you always took care of me. When I return to the Villa, you can always take care of you."
"It's true. I heard that no one is allowed to enter the villa."
"Of course it's true. The elder has arranged a lot of capable people for me. When the time comes, I'll find someone to tie you to the villa, play around for a while and then release you."
The fourth prince was startled, "Why were you kidnapped?"
"Because I can't get in through the main entrance, I have to find another way."
The fourth prince said: "I don't dare to go here."
Yue Qing coaxed him: "Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely let you out safely. There are many interesting places in our villa."
"What fun places are there?"
Yue Qing thought for a while, "Well, how should I put it? I told us that the most mountains there are, and the main city is very big. I never understood why it was called a villa. I think it should be called a mountain city.
There are many luminous stones in the city, and there is also fog that can move around, and the fog can also eat people. People with high martial arts skills can't get out even if they get in. Before I left, I went to see that wonderful scene. Although your palace is very prosperous, in terms of grandeur, our villa is more impressive. "
The fourth prince listened with interest, and Yue Qing continued: "But I can't take you to that place."
The fourth prince was surprised: "Why?"
"Because I'm afraid that someone will break in and eat the fog, there are people guarding it all year round. And if you want to go there, you have to pass through the most powerful place in the villa. If I take you there, you might be knocked unconscious on the way. Throw him out of the villa overnight."
"The people in your villa are too unfriendly."
"You are not friendly. We told others in advance. If you don't listen, you will of course be beaten. You are familiar with King Bowei. He was slapped by Qi Jiao in Xibao City. I heard that he vomited blood. ”
"Really? Why don't I know what he did?"
"He didn't listen to the advice and told him to go back. He didn't go back. I wanted to go back to the hospital, but he stopped me, so Qi Jiao gave him a slap. You don't know how mean this person is. Although Li Guo She is a princess, but she is also a noble daughter of the Chang family. You still dare to control me in our villa, and I won’t hit anyone else."
The fourth prince smiled and said: "I'm afraid you are the only person in Li who dares to beat the eldest brother of the emperor."
"Brother Emperor?"
The fourth prince nodded: "Yes, don't you know? King Bowei is a king with a different surname granted by his father. Because of his outstanding achievements, he was given the country's surname Li."
"Oh, he's not your brother?"
"No, but the emperor asked us to call him the emperor's eldest brother."
"Then what was his original last name?"
"Of course the surname is Shi."
"Shi Muchang?"
"No, Shi Shang. The character "Mu" is the name of our princes. Father Huang means that his status in Li Kingdom is equal to that of our princes."
"oh."
The two walked quickly, and Yue Qing looked at San Yuxiao and others following closely behind them, as well as the Queen Mother, Eunuch Hou and other entourage who were left not far behind, standing there waiting for them.
The fourth prince stood beside her and glanced at the people around him. At this time, except Commander Zhang of the Imperial Guard, the others were all from the villa. He glanced at Qi Jiao again, feeling weak in his heart.
Qing'er stepped forward and said, "Miss, you and this fourth prince are quite compatible."
Yue Qing said: "It's just that he is more clingy. Besides, Qing'er, we are on someone else's territory now, so it is useful to keep him. Don't always be hostile to everyone."
Qing'er thought: I'm not hostile to everyone, but Miss, you said too much. Those are the secrets of the villa, how can I say them casually. However, Commander Jiao, who has the highest status here, doesn't seem to have any objections.
Qing'er kindly reminded: "Miss, the fourth prince doesn't understand the affairs of our villa. How can he understand if you behave like this to him?"
The fourth prince curled his lips and smiled, of course he knew what she meant.
"Sister Yuqing, you girl is quite defensive."
Yue Qing looked at him: "What girl? There is no such thing as a girl in our villa. Qing'er is also my guard. You'd better be honest in front of her. Miss will be beaten."
The fourth prince was surprised: "Female guard?"
"Yes, they are all the same. They are very good at beating people. By the way, do you know martial arts? If so, I will let Qing'er spar with you and you will know."
The fourth prince hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, but don't use me to practice."
Yueqing laughed.
The Queen Mother and others finally caught up.
Yue Qing stepped forward and said, "Grandma the Queen Mother, you are walking too slowly."
Eunuch Hou said: "Princess, our ancestors are no younger than you. This soft sedan must be carried steadily. If it flashes, it will be serious."
The Queen Mother also said: "Oh, people are old and no longer useful. You young people can go your own way. Don't worry about me."
Yue Qing said: "Grandma the Queen Mother, I think the scenery in front is quite good. If we don't leave, let's go there first."
The Queen Mother looked over and said: "Well, that's really nice. It's a good place. I remember that it should be a garden, and there are some rare birds in it."
Eunuch Hou said: "What the Queen Mother said is that the Imperial Garden is the most fairy-like place in the world, and there are quite a few cranes in it."
"Oh, let's go there and have a look." The Queen Mother pointed.
Yue Qing nodded and took the lead to turn that way.
The Queen Mother looked at her reckless look and shook her head in her heart. How could such a temperament match the prince's?
While still thinking, Yue Qing had already led the fourth prince and others into the garden. The garden was very deep, with lush trees and blooming flowers. As soon as they turned in, no one could be seen.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Oh, this child is indeed a playful person. Shunxi, please send some people in to follow him quickly. Don't make any mistakes."
Eunuch Hou quickly sent someone in.
After Yueqing led people into the garden, she only felt that the garden was very unique. It must be said that the person who built it knew the art of gardening very well. The height of the trees and flowers was arranged just right. There were also artificial rivers built in the forest. The fences along the river are relatively finely built, and other places are very close to nature, but there are too many flowers. I don’t know how long these trees have been growing, but they look lush and green overhead.
"Fourth Prince, this garden is well built."
The fourth prince said: "Of course, this garden is the work of a garden master, and it has something to do with your villa."
"Mountain Villa?"
"Yes, the master said that the inspiration for the construction of this garden came from a good friend of the Yue Family in the Villa."
"Oh." Yue Qing looked at Cai'er and said, "People from the Yue family are good at this."
Cai'er said: "This is natural. Many gardens in our villa are also designed by them. The same is true for the yard where the lady lives."
The fourth prince asked: "Sister Yuqing also has her own courtyard?"
Yue Qing said: "Of course, why, is it possible that you are still living with your mother now?"
The fourth prince said a little lonely: "I do think so."
The two of them were not familiar with each other, so Yue Qing would not ask him. She came to the edge of the river and touched the carved marble fence.
The water of the river is clear, and irregular stones are built in the river from time to time, like small islands. The river is so curved that I don’t know where it extends, and there are sounds of birds in the forest.
While Yue Qing was looking, a small bird landed on a stone. He lowered his head and drank a few sips of water from the river. When he saw Yueqing and others approaching, he was not afraid of anything and chirped for two before flying away.
Yue Qing shook her head and said: "It is indeed a palace. The scenery is so beautiful."
The fourth prince smiled and said: "What does this mean? I will take you inside to see the cranes."
With that said, he walked deeper into the garden.
Yue Qing quickly followed.
The river gets wider and wider as you go deeper, turning into an artificial lake. The vegetation outside the lake is exquisite, and there are fields of lotus leaves in the lake. The green color everywhere makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Two cranes in the lake were walking among the lotus leaves. It was the first time for Yue Qing to see this kind of bird in real life, and she was amazed.
The fourth prince stood beside her: "How is it? Is the scenery here nice?"
Yue Qing stepped on the green grass with her feet, feeling the moist and fresh smell here and nodded: "It's beautiful. No wonder Eunuch Hou said this place is very fairy. It is indeed dreamy."
"What is a dream?"
"It's the kind of scenery you imagine in your dreams, the kind you can't see in ordinary times."
The fourth prince smiled: "If you like, you can come to the palace often to visit."
Yue Qing nodded, "Well, if there is a place like this, of course you can come in and visit often."
