When the bustling city of Kyoto is bustling, swords, lights, dancing shadows and applause weave in.
Princess Yongping rode a green horse from the outskirts of Beijing, with pink willows and green swallows flying all the way, which slowly dissipated the depression she was holding in.
When we entered the imperial city, we could hear the shouts of various vendors, and the sight of tourists from all over the Central Plains was flowing in and out. The smell of food and spices also appeared and disappeared, and finally a smile appeared on our face.
Of course, her good mood changed when she arrived at the river bridge near the palace gate.
I saw three young men with exquisite appearance and rich physique standing on the bank of the river bridge.
The three people were currently looking down at the river.
"Princess." Princess Yongping's bodyguard saw her looking at her without saying a word, and immediately picked up the reins and stepped forward.
Princess Yongping hummed, feeling anxious for a moment.
She knew the three people in front of her, and the one who looked a little cute and cunning was the popular person in front of her imperial grandmother, the youngest daughter of Yongxing Marquis and the ninth lady of the Sheng family.
Princess Yongping thought of the previous quarrel with her mother, and looked at Sheng Jiuniang in front of her with a relaxed and carefree expression between her eyes and brows, and inexplicably, bad thoughts came to her mind.
If she went over, unexpectedly kicked the three of them, and kicked her royal grandmother's sweetheart into the river, how would her royal grandmother react?
Will she punish her, her biological granddaughter, for this little girl, or will she help her make a difference?
Princess Yongping thought of this, and the excitement in her eyes burst out like small flames.
…
Sheng Yuan was competing with Brother Yu and Brother Sheng in fishing, when suddenly she felt an unfriendly gaze coming over, surrounding the three of them: "???"
Sheng Yuan, who thought she was always kind to others, stood up straight and turned her head to see who the owner of her eyes was.
"Princess Yongping?" Sheng Yuan faced the tall woman on the horse in the distance, saluting from afar while recalling secretly.
She doesn't seem to have offended the princess, right?
The key is that there is no chance of offending!
"Sister Yuan?" Anyu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Sheng Yuan making a salute. He looked up in confusion and happened to see the back of a group of people marching towards the palace gate.
"Who is that?" Lu Sheng closed the net and looked into the distance, wondering about Anyu's question.
"It should be Princess Yongping." Sheng Yuan touched her chin and looked at An Yu hesitantly, "Brother Yu, you often walk around the palace, have you offended her?"
"???" Anyu was confused by the question, and his whole person instantly turned into a huge, bright question mark made up of countless small question marks.
"But I just felt that she seems to hate us." Sheng Yuan analyzed with her friends seriously, "Well, look, there are only three of us. Needless to say, Brother Sheng basically doesn't know her; although I go there often Cining Gong is stubborn, but I have only seen her a handful of times since I was a child, and I haven't even had a conversation with her twice. If this can offend her, isn't it a bit strange?"
When Anyu heard this, he immediately understood: Sister Yuan directly used the elimination method to select him.
It's just that Sheng Yuan's reasons were quite convincing, and An Yu obviously didn't remember having any contact with the princess, so he couldn't help but try to recall whether his aunt had broken up with the princess.
"Wait until I get back and ask!" An Yu scratched his ears.
"If you don't like it, then don't like it. Anyway, we are all scholars and are not under her jurisdiction." Lu Sheng shrugged nonchalantly and gave Sheng Yuan and Anyu advice, "If you attack Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan, you can When you and your father entered the palace, they hugged the Queen Mother's thigh and cried, two against one, they could probably win!
As for Brother Yu, it's even easier. Just roll around at the Emperor's feet. As long as the Emperor is reluctant to kick you, you won't be the one who feels aggrieved in the end. "
"Good idea!" Sheng Yuan and Anyu nodded in agreement.
But immediately, they turned to look at Lu Sheng: "What about you?"
"Me?" Lu Sheng pulled out the fishing net he had lowered and threw it on the lawn. He asked the guard lying on the lawn to count it and chuckled at the sound.
"If I'm being embarrassed by the other party, it's probably caused by both of you, so what else is there to say? Why don't you just take my share of the blame when you cry?"
"..." Sheng Yuan and Anyu slapped their heads, it's true!
"Okay, don't focus on unimportant people. It's so easy for us to get out, so we can't relax! Come on, come on, you two quickly catch your own fish baskets ashore. Let's compare them and watch them. Let’s see whose method catches the most fish.”
When Sheng Yuan and Anyu heard the sound, they immediately put aside their previous thoughts, bared their arms and rolled up their sleeves and called for help.
Sheng Yuan and Anyu Lu Sheng were stunned when hundreds of fish of different sizes were flapping in front of their eyes.
Can you fish out so many fish just by fishing in this river?
The three people looked at each other.
"Forget it, just think we are lucky!" Lu Sheng and Anyu were the first to give up thinking, "Anyway, the fish here are ownerless, first come first served."
Sheng Yuan smiled brightly for a second and nodded in agreement: "Yes!"
The three of them happily greeted the guards and headed back home with the fruits of victory!
…
After having lunch, Emperor Jinghe went to the Cining Palace and asked his mother indifferently, who had enjoyed Sister Yuan's filial piety, "Mother, how does the fish feast that Sister Yuan presented taste to me?"
Empress Dowager Qin's eyes were full of smiles, she nodded and kept praising: "Sister Yuan, this child has a filial heart. She caught the fish and brought it fresh to the palace... Although the fish is not very fat, it is what the Ai family eats. The most delicious fish feast ever.”
After saying this, the Queen Mother Qin glanced at her son: "Brother Yu, didn't he offer it to you?"
Jing Hedi nodded with a smile: "If he hadn't still had such filial piety, I would have given him a slap in the face."
"Hey! What's wrong with the emperor?" Queen Mother Qin's first reaction was that the three children were naughty again, and she hurriedly said, "Don't get angry with the children."
After saying this, Queen Mother Qin was afraid that her son would be aggrieved, so she couldn't help but add: "If they are too angry, just pick up those two thick-skinned boys and punish them. It doesn't matter if they punish the children."
"..." Emperor Jinghe understood. His mother had already made it clear that she was not allowed to deal with Sister Yuan's girl.
"Mother, my former son, the directors of several royal gardens in the suburbs of Beijing reported that they have cultivated new fish species that are both pleasing to the eye and edible. They want to pay tribute to the palace."
Emperor Jinghe sighed and said: "It happens that there are many koi carps in the palace. I don't want to confuse them, so I ordered the palace people to put the new fry in the moat nearest to the palace. If it is true as the director of the imperial garden said, we will not be able to confuse them again in the future." Let them come in... Queen Mother, and gather five to six hundred fishes in total!"
These three naughty men scooped up a third of it in one go!
Are you angry or not?
He doesn’t love the fish, he loves himself!
The behavior of these three little villains made him feel like he was releasing the fish upstream, and the three of them intercepted the fish downstream, which made him not very smart!
"..." Queen Mother Qin said to herself, no wonder, it tastes pretty good!
