Returning to the small building, the emperor and empress tidied up and returned to the palace together.
Su Ming held a cabbage in his arms and watched the emperor and queen enter the palace before going home.
The girl gave him a vegetable, and it was a big one. The girl said it was Chinese cabbage, and she picked a big one for him.
The emperor entered the palace, and the queen returned to Changchun Palace without looking back.
emperor……
Are you still reasonable?
It's getting more and more outrageous.
"Show me the East Palace."
Yue Rushuang took two huge durians and was gesturing to open them.
Xing'er and An Yi went to Daliushu Village. Yue Rushuang was not worried. Everyone in Daliushu Village knew Xing'er.
Yue Rushuang pinched the thorns on the durian and said, "You can actually eat them."
Yue Rushuang shouted with both hands: "Open!"
The emperor and Eunuch Pan came in, followed by Duo Xi.
Duoxi said with a bitter face: "The Emperor will not allow the report."
The emperor frowned.
"What does this house smell like?"
Eunuch Pan kept gesturing to the emperor, asking him to read the things on the small case.
A large, cracked mace.
Yue Rushuang and the prince quickly saluted the emperor.
The emperor asked in surprise: "The princess is so powerful, and the mace cracked as soon as she shouted?"
Yue Rushuang...
Mace?
It's really similar.
"What is this?" the emperor asked.
Just as Yue Rushuang was thinking about what to say, the emperor suddenly pointed at Wang Gonggong.
"you say!"
The prince had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "This is a kind of fruit."
emperor……
Eunuch Pan...
"Your Majesty, don't you have something to do with the Crown Princess?" Eunuch Pan reminded.
Your Majesty, you have to talk about business first, and then grab things after you finish talking, otherwise the Crown Princess will definitely not help.
The emperor understood instantly, and it was Lao Pan who understood me.
"What's the name of the girl selling embroidery in your shop?"
"That's the one who also lives in Daliu Shu Village. He's pretty."
Yue Rushuang...
My own shop does not sell embroidery. Only Miss You has set up a small area to sell embroidery from Da Liushu. At first, it was just Miss You and Mrs. You’s embroidery. Later, some people from Daliushu Village also embroidered embroidery and placed it in You’s shop. The girl sells it here.
Could it be that the emperor has fallen in love with Miss You?
"The girl's surname is You. What does your father ask her for?"
"Did she ever say goodbye?" the emperor asked again.
Yue Rushuang said: "I heard that the engagement had been arranged a long time ago. I heard it from the villagers. I don't remember who specifically said it."
What others told me is not my fault.
The emperor's face showed disappointment.
"It's engaged. Look at that girl. She's not that old yet. Why are you engaged?"
Yue Rushuang...
She is not older than your son, so you should show some dignity.
Miss You is beautiful. Ever since she stood in the shop, the customers would ask her about any cosmetics they bought. In order to thank her, they would buy one or two more embroideries, so Miss You's business was pretty good.
Because she helped sell a lot of cosmetics, Yue Rushuang gave her a share of the commission.
Now Madam You is peacefully doing embroidery work at home, and the two of them are growing Chinese cabbage and cold melons, which is a high income for Daliu Shu.
Everyone in the village regretted after seeing it. They didn't listen to the princess. The cold melon was more expensive than the meat. They didn't worry about selling it. They just stood there and disappeared after a while.
The emperor sighed: "What a pity."
Seeing Su Ming look like that today, he was obviously tempted.
Forget it, since we have an engagement, we can only give up.
The emperor's interest returned to durian.
"Is this delicious?"
The prince said: "The smell that my father smells is the taste of this fruit. Does your father like it?"
Yue Rushuang thought in her heart: I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it.
I bought two hundred yuan for a durian, and my heart was bleeding.
The emperor said: "It must be a new thing brought out by the Crown Princess, then I must try it."
Yue Rushuang...
Yue Rushuang took out a room of meat and gave it to the emperor, and then took out a room of meat and gave it to Eunuch Pan.
Yue Rushuang never looked at Eunuch Pan in public. Unless it was a particularly public occasion, Yue Rushang ignored the rules of a master and a servant.
How could Eunuch Pan dare to answer? He waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't dare, old slave."
Yue Rushuang knew that he had strict rules and said: "My father-in-law, I will try it for the emperor first."
Only then did Eunuch Pan take it and take a bite.
"Eat it together, eat it in big mouthfuls, it's delicious." Yue Rushuang said.
Eunuch Pan ate so hard that his eyes narrowed.
The emperor also ate one.
Seeing that there was one unopened one on the table, he said: "Eunuch Pan, take this back to Mingyang Palace. I have so many daughters-in-law, and the most filial one is the Crown Princess."
After putting the high hat on the crown prince, the emperor took Eunuch Pan out of the East Palace.
Yue Rushuang...
Am I forced to be filial, okay?
Yue Rushuang looked back at the prince.
The prince smiled and said: "In the past, my father always frowned, but now he has a smile on his face and talks more. I found that my father has become greedy."
Yue Rushuang resignedly took out a roomful of meat and handed it to the prince.
"That means that my father is young. He sleeps in, is as greedy as a child, and worries about gains and losses emotionally. These are the three standards of youth. Didn't my father worry about gains and losses just now? If one day, you find that there is nothing you want to eat, in the morning If you wake up early, you’re starting to get old.”
The emperor returned to Mingyang Hall and said, "Go and invite the eldest princess."
He had to ask, why did the eldest princess want Liu Yongxue?
She was full and full, so she must have said that the child was abducted?
***
Liu Xiangu turned off the lights soon after taking Liu Yongxue back to the house.
The secret guard on the tree took out a jug of wine and a bag of meat wrapped in lotus leaves, serving him a late-night snack.
Liu Xiangu covered Liu Yongxue with a quilt and asked, "Does your finger still hurt?"
Liu Yongxue said: "Mom, did I feel embarrassed just now? I cried."
Liu Xiangu said: "It's not a shame. Mom is angry, otherwise she would cry. It hurts too much."
Liu Yongxue's big eyes flashed in the night and said: "Well, I will definitely not cry next time."
Liu Xiangu said: "Daughter, you sleep for a while, mother will wake you up later, we have to drive at night."
Liu Yongxue said: "Are we running for our lives again?"
Liu Xiangu said: "This time is different from the past. In the past, we only needed to escape back to the big willow tree to be safe. This time, we may have to go to a very far place, and we don't know whether we can come back. Alas, I just saw the day Just look forward to it."
"Go to sleep!"
Liu Yongxue closed her eyes and hummed obediently.
Liu Xiangu quickly packed up two small bags, went into the kitchen in the dark, covered the kitchen windows with sheets, and then used the firelight in the stove to bake a dozen soft cakes and cooked a few more. eggs.
Then he went back to bed and lay down for a while.
In the middle of the night, Liu Xiangu woke up Liu Yongxue.
"Don't talk, there might be someone outside."
Liu Xiangu dressed Liu Yongxue.
Give her a small bundle to carry.
"Put on this suit of clothes. There are pieces of silver in the corners of the clothes. Remember them."
Liu Yongxue nodded bravely: "Yes!"
Liu Xiangu lit a handful of incense, pushed the door open a crack, and stretched out the incense.
After a cup of tea, I heard a few plop-plop sounds.
One fell from the tree, one rolled from the house, and two fell at the gate.
"Daughter, let's go!"
The mother and daughter quietly went out into the night.
