princess

Chapter 60

Xiao Yuanmin couldn't show his face, he was in the carriage all the time, and reading books for a few days was enough. If Xiao Yuanmin hadn't been good-tempered, he might have been unable to bear it long ago.

In fact, it was already some distance away from the capital, so it was okay to go out if you really wanted to, but Xiao Yuanmin had a kind of self-discipline in his temperament, even a bit paranoid.

When they arrived in Zheng Guo, not to mention Xiao Yuzuo, even Yao Shengqin and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yuanmin came as a court lady and didn't need to socialize. Instead, he brought Banxia and Banmei back to the palace first.

The palace was specially built by King Zheng to entertain envoys from other countries, and it was magnificently built. In fact, he originally invited Xiao Yuzuo to live in the palace, but Xiao Yuzuo refused.

Xiao Yuanmin didn't live next door to Xiao Yuzuo this time, but chose a relatively remote courtyard near the small gate. The courtyard was not big, but exquisite.

Naturally, Banxia wanted to live with Xiao Yuanmin so that she could take care of her, and Banmei started to tidy up Xiao Yuzuo's house after confirming that Xiao Yuanmin had everything here.

In fact, Xiao Yuanmin chose this yard for another reason. Although this yard is small, it has its own small kitchen, but it is very convenient.

After all, Xiao Yuzuo and the others came here for business, and most of the time they were probably eating in the palace. Although the other ministers who came to Zheng Guo didn't say it clearly, they probably guessed that she came out this time, but she didn't appear in front of them. They just pretended not to know.

But the servants of the palace didn't know that she was a little maid now, and it was a bit too much to order food in the big kitchen, and it made people feel that it was too ostentatious for a court lady in Jin Dynasty to be like this.

Now that there is a small kitchen, although it is still a bit eye-catching, no matter whether it is food or other things, it is directly let Jin Chao and the people who come to buy it. Even if someone looks hot, they can't say anything.

Standing in the yard, Xiao Yuanmin felt comfortable all over her body. She was wearing a goose-yellow skirt today, standing under the shade of a tree, looking a bit ethereal.

Ban Xia asked someone to move the couch, and set up a small round table next to the couch. On the round table were juicy fruits and a cup of scented tea that was [-]% full. "Finally, I can rest for a while."

Xiao Yuanmin smiled and nodded, "I feel relaxed all over."

"The servants can still go out for a walk, but the eldest princess has to stay in the carriage all the time except when she is resting." Ban Xia puffed up her face, but she felt aggrieved for Xiao Yuanmin.

Xiao Yuanmin stretched out his hand and pinched Banxia's face. Since he came out, Banxia has become more lively, not as old as in the palace. He leaned on the small couch and said with a smile, "Didn't my brother also accompany me?" ?"

Thinking of Xiao Yuzuo clearly wanting to go outside, but riding a carriage all the way because of her, even if he couldn't bear it, he just stayed outside for a while and then came back, which is cute.

"Let's go out to play tomorrow." Xiao Yuanmin sat up and drank half a cup of tea.

Ban Xia's eyes lit up, she quickly nodded and said, "My servant, go and inquire about the women's clothing here, and I will prepare it tomorrow."

"It doesn't have to be too good." Xiao Yuanmin said quickly, "It's just normal."

After all, sometimes you can't feel comfortable when you dress too well.

"Yes." Ban Xia really didn't expect this. After all, both the clothes and clothes for the eldest princess are top-notch, and almost all of them are sewn by them, the nuns and maids of Fengyang Pavilion. Ban Xia I thought about staying outside, keeping everything simple, and going directly to buy the best ones on the market, but I didn't want the eldest princess to be so thoughtful.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuzuo and the others did not come back to eat, Xiao Yuanmin used some by himself, and then went to rest, but asked Banmei and the others to cook rice porridge and hangover soup to keep warm in the kitchen. There are all the courtiers who follow.

On the second day, Xiao Yuzuo and the others did not enter the palace, but stayed in the palace to rest. After all, they were exhausted all the way, and the first night was to wash the dust. It would be rude to have consecutive banquets.

Xiao Yuzuo went to eat at Xiao Yuanmin's place in the morning, followed by Murong Xi, most of Zheng Guo's meals were a bit sweet, like the buns were bean buns, sugar buns, even the pancakes were filled with pickled fruits.

In fact, because of the arrival of Xiao Yuzuo and the others, the cooks specially invited from Jin Dynasty in the palace, the meals made by those cooks are more suitable for their appetites, but Xiao Yuanmin is curious about Zheng Guo’s food, so in the name of Xiao Yuzuo, someone specially sent them These.

Xiao Yuanmin put down his chopsticks after eating a few mouthfuls of rock sugar and corn soup. Seeing Xiao Yuzuo frowning and swallowing the bean buns, he took a look at Banxia. Even the porridge was changed.

"Sister." Seeing this situation, Xiao Yuzuo would be a fool if he didn't know that Xiao Yuanmin was deliberately teasing himself, so he called out, "You did it on purpose."

"Hehe." Xiao Yuanmin didn't deny it, "In fact, Zheng Guo's food is also unique."

"Sweet and greasy." Xiao Yuzuo couldn't stand it anymore, after serving the porridge that was just served in Banxia, ​​Xiao Yuzuo took a sip, and his brows relaxed, "The fish porridge is still delicious."

Murong Xi paused for a moment, suddenly felt that the rock sugar and corn soup was actually not so unacceptable.

After serving Ban Xia to Xiao Yuanmin, she went to Murong Xi, put down the last bowl on the tray held by the maid behind her, and took away the rock sugar and corn soup.

Murong Xi picked up a piece of crispy meat floss and ate it slowly, as if he didn't notice the new bowl of porridge.

Xiao Yuanmin had just eaten a piece of pancake and half a sugar bag. He was not hungry at the moment, so he slowly stirred the fish porridge in the bowl, and glanced at Murong Xi, "This porridge is quite hot, Murong, don't you?" Do you want to try it?"

"Wei Chen..." Before Murong Xi finished speaking, Xiao Yuzuo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Drink, it's really good."

As if he didn't see Murong Xi's hesitation, "I let Ban Xia cook it specially... If Murong doesn't like it, you can cook some new ones, Ban Xia."

"No need." Murong Xi saw that both Xiao Yuzuo and Xiao Yuanmin were waiting to see his jokes, and he didn't believe that with the observation ability of the siblings, it took so long to find out that he didn't eat fish, "This is very good. "As he spoke, Murong Xi looked at the bowl of porridge, and found the difference at a glance. The fish porridge was whiter, but this bowl of porridge... had minced meat in it.

Seeing that Murong Xi found out, Ban Xia also put away the grievance that was deliberately pretended on her face.

Murong Xi was all smiles, but he was not angry, instead he said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess."

Xiao Yuzuo chuckled, "Hurry up and eat."

Xiao Yuanmin put down half a bowl of fish porridge, watched Xiao Yuzuo and Murongxi eat, and picked up some small dishes with chopsticks for Xiao Yuzuo from time to time.

And when Xiao Yuzuo and Murongxi were growing up, they naturally ate more, and when they were all used up, Xiao Yuanmin said, "I'm going to go out for a walk today."

"I'm going with my sister." Xiao Yuzuo answered.

Xiao Yuanmin glanced at Xiao Yuzuo with a half-smile, "Do you think I will go out with you?"

"elder sister."

"You go through the front door, I'll go through the small door." Xiao Yuanmin said mercilessly, this is to let Xiao Yuzuo draw other people's attention, and said a few places that Xiao Yuanmin asked, "You avoid these places for me. Further."

"Eldest princess, I wonder if I can go with the eldest princess?" Murong Xi said, seeing Xiao Yuzuo glaring at him, he was not afraid, "After all, if you are with the prince, you don't want to see anything."

There was some meaning in these words, and Xiao Yuzuo also understood what Murongxi meant, and he was a little unwilling after all, "You guys just want to play by yourself."

"Yes." Xiao Yuanmin didn't hesitate at all, "It's fine, let other people follow my brother, but you need to pretend."

"Okay." Murong Xi agreed.

Xiao Yuzuo looked depressed, and his opinion was directly ignored.

After confirming it, they each went back to prepare. Zheng Guo's costumes are very different from Jin Dynasty's. Most of them are a kind of self-cultivation, and many women's clothes are long clothes and trousers. The dark clothes are covered with gauze clothes of various colors, and the trouser legs are very wide. The satin was fastened, as was the top, and the waist was not only tied with ribbons, but also decorated with ornaments.

Walking with a swaying posture, it has a different style from Jin Chao.

Xiao Yuanmin changed into dark blue on the inside and silver on the outside. Around his waist was a video made of silver leaves and glass beads. When walking, the silver leaves and glass beads collided with each other, making a slight sound.

Ban Xia also changed her clothes and followed behind Xiao Yuanmin, while Murong Xi was dressed in a brown bunt, the exposed skin was painted black, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly modified, showing a bit of aggressiveness, if he was not a familiar person, he would never will recognize.

"Little Rong Mu pays homage to the girl." Murong Xi said politely when he saw Xiao Yuanmin, but the etiquette was not as elegant as it used to be, and it was a little more casual than that of Jianghu people.

Seeing Xiao Yuanmin, he pursed his lips and laughed. Isn't Rong Mu the opposite of Murong?
"Little girl Yao Xuan is very polite." Xiao Yuanmin also laughed, Yao is the surname of Empress Huiyi, and Xuan Xuan is the nickname given to her by her father, empress and empress.

Ban Xia followed Xiao Yuanmin, observing Murong Xi calmly, she found that reading with Murong companion, the princess's expression was particularly relaxed, and her smile was much more than usual. If Murong Xi can be a son-in-law, the eldest princess will Will be happier?
As soon as he went out, Murong Xi restrained the expression on his face, and stood behind Xiao Yuanmin like a most qualified and loyal servant. Although Xiao Yuanmin was dressed in ordinary clothes, his aura was real. They looked like they came out to play, but no one dared to provoke them.

Even in the Jin Dynasty, Xiao Yuanmin seldom left the palace, so in the capital of Zheng State, it was a bit more novel. Suddenly, he saw a man take off the scimitar from his waist, and held it in front of the opposite woman with both hands. A few people stopped and looked at them with blessings in their eyes.

Murong Xi naturally saw it too. Seeing Xiao Yuanmin's interest, he explained, "This is the custom of Zheng State. If a man meets his sweetheart and wants to marry him, he will give the scimitar to a woman. If the woman takes it, put it on his body If you give the medicine sachet to the man, you agree, and the man can prepare for the marriage right away. If you only receive the medicine sachet without the medicine sachet, it means that the woman wants to think about it. Generally, it will be considered for three days. After three days, if you agree, you will send the medicine sachet. Send the scimitar back, if you don't pick it up...it's useless."

In fact, Xiao Yuanmin also knows, after all, she has seen it, but seeing the woman take the scimitar shyly, throw the medicine bag in her arms on the man and run away, a little more smile and blessing, " That’s great.” You can choose what you like, and you can make your own decisions.
