Snowy Chang'an Road

On the way to the main hall, Cai Yu kept thinking about a question. Why did King Wei Shao of Peking come here? Could it be that His Majesty had some arrangements? But then he thought about it. If His Majesty had any arrangements, he would send someone from the palace to convey the order. , there was no reason for the King of Peking to come in person.

So why is this?

Cai Yu was used to being lazy in this happy place, but he was also a very discerning person. Knowing that Wei Shao was the prince and could represent the royal family, he was naturally very respectful.

"Your Majesty Cai Yu pays homage to the King of Beiping and the Princess of Beiping."

Wei Shao glanced at Cai Yu who was kneeling in front of him. He raised his hand and motioned for Cai Yu to get up.

"Your Majesty has received orders from His Majesty. What business do you have here?"

"The weather is nice today. The king and his wife came to Shanglin Garden to relax."

Hearing what Wei Shao said, Cai Yuxuan felt relieved. As long as he came here for fun and not for official business, it would be no big deal.

Cai Yu is a person who has no ambitions or pursuits, but he is very proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.

"My lord, what are your plans with the princess?"

Wei Shao thought for a moment and said, "I have no plans yet. I wonder if Cai Naiguan has any good ideas?"

Cai Yu said with a smile: "Since it's spring, you can go boating in the garden, drink wine in the forest, drink wine in the meandering water, you can also throw pots and Cuju, climb mountains to look into the distance, and ride horses for an outing. It's a pity that there is no wind today. If there is wind, you can also fly kites. I have packed up the last-year-old paper kites in the warehouse and can be used at any time. There is also a swing in the Hundred Scenery Garden of Shanglin Garden. If the princess likes it, you can go and have a look."

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Cai Yu continued: "Last year, your Majesty came here to escape the summer heat. He ordered people to build a meandering water cup next to Youhe Garden. While enjoying the lotus, he drank wine and recited poems. It was elegant and happy. If the prince is interested, I It’s time for someone to clean it up. Although there are no summer flowers to reward, the koi carps in the pond are very interesting."

Upon hearing Cai Yu's introduction, Wei Shao had no expression on his face. He didn't show interest or disinterest, he just listened quietly.

After Cai Yu finished speaking, Wei Shao asked Pei Ying: "Cai Naiguan has said so much, madam, what do you want to do?"

"Anything is fine, why not just walk around in this garden."

"Okay, then I'll listen to Madam."

Originally, Pei Ying planned to take Wei Shao out to relax today. These days, his heart has been trapped by what she said that day. He kept a straight face all day long, which made people very uncomfortable. Today, a change of environment allowed him to A change of mood might relieve the depression in his chest.

Under the guidance of Cai Yu, the two of them took a rough look at several scenic spots in Shanglin Garden. It was not yet summer, and many of the landscapes in the garden had not yet taken shape. After walking around for a long time, Pei Ying felt bored.

"Wei Shao, I want to go outside for a walk."

"what happened?"

Before Pei Ying could speak, Cai Yu said one step ahead of her: "Princess, not far ahead is the swing I just mentioned to you. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"No, Cai Neiguan, we are in Chang'an. We have been trapped in the square city walls all day, or in the square palace. We don't want to be trapped in Shanglin Garden today. I want to go out for a walk. Come on, the world outside is very vast, and people are working in the fields. I would like to go out and see the real life of the people."

Hearing Pei Ying's words, Cai Yu's mind was thinking rapidly. This was the first time he met such a prince and noble lady. Among those ladies who followed His Majesty here, none of them stayed in this huge Shanglin Garden all day long. , only when Your Majesty is in the mood, can they go out with His Majesty. Who dares to say to His Majesty that they are trapped here and want to go out for a walk.

"Okay, since you feel restrained, let's go out for a walk."

What surprised Cai Yu even more was that the King of Beiping answered without hesitation, completely following the princess's wishes. When the King of Beiping said this, Cai Yu did not dare to say anything more.

"My lord and princess, please wait a moment. I will arrange the carriages and horses."

"No need, the princess can ride a horse, Cai Naiguan, can you?"

"Yes." "In that case, let's go together and take two soldiers with us."

"promise."

In the early years, Wei Yuan issued an order to leave hundreds of acres of Shanglin Garden as a royal summer garden. The surrounding land was distributed to the people for farming. Wei Shao and several people set off from Shanglin Garden on horseback. Along the way were common people who were doing spring plowing. When the common people saw them, they Put down the farm tools in your hands and kneel in the field.

After walking for about ten miles, the first village appeared in front of everyone. Wei Shao and Pei Ying got off their horses and came to a farmhouse.

Pei Ying stood next to Wei Shao and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little thirsty. Let's get some water from here."

"it is good."

Cai Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, you and your princess are of high status. The water in this village is a bit turbid and you can't get used to it."

"It doesn't matter, Cai Neiguan, I am out on the march and fighting all year round. When I am thirsty in the wild, I always drink the stream water I see. It doesn't matter if the water is a little turbid."

"My lord, you are strong and strong, so there is no problem in drinking the water here. However, the princess has never experienced such hardships. She will definitely not be used to drinking it."

"Guan Cai doesn't know something. My wife has been fighting with me outside all year round. She lives the same life I live. Even though she is a woman, she is no worse than a man in terms of hardship."

Looking at the thin and tall Pei Ying in front of him, and thinking about what Wei Shao said just now, Cai Yu couldn't connect the two and put them on Pei Ying.

After drinking the water, the two walked around the village again. The people saw several people dressed in luxurious clothes and soldiers with swords beside them. They all hid in their homes, closed the doors and windows, and peeked out through the gaps.

Occasionally, there are one or two children playing in the village who are out of sight of their elders. They are young, inexperienced in worldly affairs, and have no fear.

Pei Ying likes children very much, but only for playing with them for a while.

She took a step forward, knelt down, and waved to the child.

Seeing how beautiful she was, the little boy ran towards her and threw himself into her arms. There were two little friends behind him. They saw Pei Ying smiling and waving to them. When they saw that their companion was already in Pei Ying's arms, they also relaxed. Concerned, he ran over.

This is the charm of a woman. If a man were to wave to a child like this, the child would never dare to come forward.

"Kids, what are you doing?"

"Beat the bad guy."

The child sniffed and said.

"Are there any bad people in your village?"

"Yes, my mother said she would eat us."

Listening to the child's exaggerated tone, Pei Ying asked with a smile: "She will eat you, aren't you afraid? Do you dare to hit her?"

"I'm not afraid."

Pei Ying looked at the children in front of her and asked, "Where is the cannibal?"

The child held the stone in one hand, stretched out the other hand, and pointed to the earthen wall not far away.
