Chapter 176 Princess Shu ([-])

Qujiang is not far from Anshanfang, but it's not close either. There are three roads in the middle.

Because there is a spring banquet in Qujiang today, there are a lot of carriages and pedestrians on the road, Cui Youbo and Li Jing's riding speed is not fast, only a little faster than walking.

On the way, the two chatted about banquets and fun, but they didn't feel that the road was congested and difficult to walk.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, the horse is startled, get out of the way-"

Suddenly, there was a loud yelling from behind, followed by the sound of horseshoes from far to near. Listening to the movement, it seemed that a group of people on horseback came.

Hearing the yelling, Cui Youbo hurriedly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and leaned towards the side of the road, and was about to call Li Jing to avoid it, when he turned his head, he saw that he had already quickly hid by the side of the street.

The two of them had just moved out of the middle of the road, and the horse team behind them had already roared in. Seven or eight young men with strong postures rode their horses and galloped wildly. Wherever they went, pedestrians and carriages on the road dodged in haste. In a hurry, someone fell down. On the ground, some carriages were knocked sideways, causing screams in the carriages, coupled with the noise made by the horse team itself, the whole street suddenly became lively, screaming, cursing, shouting, and crying. one slice.

"At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the most important place in the capital, what kind of lunatics are so presumptuous, galloping on the street?"

Li Jing frowned, looking at those riders who turned a whole street into a vegetable market with disgust.

"..." Cui Ba also frowned and looked coldly. After a while, he found the leader of the group among several riders who were running wildly. Getting older, "It's the king of Shu, Li Yin, the sixth son of the emperor who was supposed to arrive in the fief last year."

Cui Ba's voice was very low, as if he was whispering.

Li Jing could hear clearly, and couldn't help complaining: "Rao is the prince, he shouldn't be so wild in the capital."

The queen is virtuous and has strict requirements on her children, which is well known in the world.

Li Jing originally thought that with the guidance of a virtuous queen and the supervision of a sage emperor, even if those princes and princesses could not set an example, they would not be so slutty and playful.It wasn't him complaining, such absurd things like riding horses and running wildly in the city can only be done by those upstarts, but now this one is in the capital... Sigh, it really discredits the Li family of Guanlong.

Cui Ba shook his head, "The sage once said, 'Beasts can be subdued to tame and harass people; iron and stone can be smelted, and they can be used as square and round tools. Those who are as stupid as animals have never been as good as animals and stones!'"

Did you hear that, the emperor felt helpless towards this absurd son, pointed at his nose and scolded him as inferior to a beast.

Li Jing sighed, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, how can one expect all the princes to be outstanding.

Cui Ba's resentment could not be exhausted with one mouthful or two, he flicked the whip vigorously, and the cowhide whip slapped in the air, with a ruthless appearance as if he was beating his enemy.

Li Jing saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong with Cui Lang, is there anything bothering you?"

Cui Ba bitterly watched those few riders leaving in arrogance, and said in a deep voice: "My eldest lady is Princess Shu—"

This crazy and borderless beast is my own brother-in-law, it is really shameful to throw it at the door of the house.

However, what made Cui Ba even more angry was, "My elder sister is sick and has been bedridden for more than a month, but Li Liulang is still there—" Cui Ba couldn't go on, his cousin was so sick that she had only one breath left, And Li Yin, the husband, is still hunting and galloping in the field. It's simply... a saint is worthy of being a saint, and what he says is justified.

But what about anger?So what if the sage called Li Yin inferior to a beast?
Say a thousand words and ten thousand, the other party is the prince, and the man and the saint are father and son.Even if he is not favored by the emperor's father, he will not be humanely destroyed by the emperor's father.

No, a certain prince who was compared to beasts and iron stones was dragged to Yizhou by his father, but he just found excuses not to go.The most convincing excuse is that Princess Shu is seriously ill and cannot travel long distances in a short period of time, while Li Liulang is so affectionate that he couldn't bear to leave his wife and travel by himself, so he ran to Tai Chi Palace and begged.

As for Li Liulang's mother-in-law, Concubine Yang, she didn't want her son to go away, so she blew on the pillow from time to time, saying good things for her son inside and out, and she only praised Li Tongxi as the first beloved wife and good man in the Tang Dynasty .As for the emperor, after all, he loved his son dearly, and his heart softened after being cried out by his son and his concubine, and he turned a blind eye to someone's behavior in the capital.

"..." Li Jing didn't know what to say.

As the horse team that caused trouble left, the street returned to normal order, and Cui Ba and Li Jing continued on their way.

It's just that with this uncomfortable episode, the joy of the two of them being selected as Tanhua envoys was also compromised. They both suppressed their smiles and walked forward in silence.

In the apricot garden, Xiao Nan and a few old friends who had made an appointment had already gathered, greeted each other and greeted each other, and then he took the three sisters-in-law to introduce them.

The masters were busy greeting each other, and the servants were not idle either. They hurriedly followed the master's instructions and found a quiet space to spread the carpet, and then used tents to surround the carpet to separate the noble ladies from tourists and pedestrians. .

After wrapping up the tent, the maids and servants arranged various fruits, snacks and side dishes.In order to take care of those noble ladies who are not used to short-legged furniture and don’t like to sit on their knees, the servants also considerately brought in long tables, moon-shaped chairs and single-seat beard beds (that is, small horses).

After some introductions, Xiao Nan greeted everyone to sit down.

"Huh? This is a cherry, right? Tsk tsk, what a big cherry, the color is ruddy, and it tastes delicious when you look at it."

Ashina has a straightforward personality, and she has the strongest relationship with Xiao Nan, so she doesn't speak so politely.She saw several kinds of seasonal fruits on the long table beside the rug, and when she looked carefully, the delicate white porcelain fruit plate contained agate-like cherries. In the past, I picked up one and threw it into my mouth.

"Hmm, it's delicious. It's even more delicious than the one my brother sent someone to buy at a high price from the East Market."

Ashina is an informal and refreshing woman. When she ate delicious food, her first reaction was not to hide it and enjoy it by herself, but to warmly wave to other friends, "Cheng Er, Lu San, come and taste it."

The Cheng Er Lu San in her mouth is none other than the guest invited by Xiao Nan.Cheng Er is Cheng Chuliang, the second son of Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie, and Cheng Ya, the daughter of Princess Qinghe. She is only 12 years old this year.Lu San is Lu Yu, the granddaughter of Duke Fanyang, who is 15 years old this year.

These two are relatives of Xiao Nan, Cheng Er is Xiao Nan's aunt and cousin, Lu San is the niece of the third wife of the Cui family, Lu Shi, and Xiao Nan's cousin... The family is married, after all, everyone is cousin.

Cheng Ya and Lu Yu are also very familiar with A-Mu, and their relationship with A-Mu is the same as their relationship with Xiao Nan, they are both cousins ​​and sisters.Hearing Ah Ming's greeting, they were not polite, they gathered around and sat down on the moon-like twig, took the wet handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped their hands, then picked up the cherries and chewed slowly.

"Well, it's really delicious."

"Yes, yes, sister, these should be the cherries that are abundant in Xiaonanshan. A few days ago, my mother went to the palace to pay her respects to the queen, and the queen gave my mother two baskets. What she brought back was similar to this one. Well," Cheng Ya nodded while eating, and praised loudly, "But sister, why do I think yours is better than mine."

Xiao Nan was startled, and thought to himself that the little girl's mouth is quite powerful, and she could tell the difference once she tasted it.

Those sent to the palace are all the blessed land of the gods, that is, the fruit grown on the "Xiaonan Mountain" named by the saints.What Xiao Nan took out this time was a batch of newly ripe cherries in Taoyuan.

The growth environment of the two is similar, but in terms of aura, how can the counterfeit version of 'Xiaonanshan' compare with the original version of Taoyuan? !

A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes, he was secretly vigilant, it seemed that he was careless again, he forgot that there are many nobles in Beijing, and the two big bosses in the palace are generous people, they often reward some fruits and vegetables to the clan and As a court official, Xiao Nan usually contacts people of this level... Well, it seems that I have to be careful in the future, and never allow people to have the opportunity to compare fruits and vegetables from two sources.

But Xiao Nan didn't miss anything on the surface, and said with a smile: "It's all from the queen, so there's no difference. Hehe, maybe Aya is in a good mood today, and everything she eats feels delicious."

Ah Ming is Xiao Nan's hard-core supporter, so she naturally stood by her side, nodding repeatedly, "Enen, what Qiao Mu said is very true, hehe, I guess it's because the apricot blossoms are blooming, the sunshine around is good, and the mood is also good." Now, so I feel different from what I ate before. Come on, Cui San, Cui Si and the eldest lady, you all come too."

Xiao Nan also changed the subject, and greeted the three sisters-in-law, "Hehe, Auntie is a sharp person, and she usually speaks like this. It's the first time you meet, don't be intimidated by her."

Ashina doesn't like those red tapes, and she also likes abbreviations in terms of titles. When Xiao Nan first got acquainted with her, she also called Xiao Nan Xiao Wu (Xiao Nan's big ranking among Xiao Nan's sisters of the same generation).

"Sister Shijia has a bold personality, unlike me... I am very envious."

Cui Wei was somewhat displeased to hear someone calling her Cui San, but she also knew that the woman who was speaking outspokenly opposite her was the dignified county lord, a noble lady with rank and title.

"Well, I also really like sister's personality, very similar to the chivalrous woman in the notebook novel."

Cui Heng's tone was much more sincere, his voice was soft, and he spoke slowly, which made people feel comfortable when they heard it.

At least it sounds better to Ah Ming's ears than Cui Wei's insincere words.

Ah Ming's eyes swept across the faces of the three young ladies of Cui's family, especially when she saw the calm Cui Heng, her eyes sparkled, as if she had thought of something, she dropped the fruit core, picked up the wet handkerchief and wiped her hands Hezui, softly said: "Have you heard that Princess Shu is not well, the imperial doctor has been changed several times, but it still doesn't get better."

Princess Shu, isn't she the eldest daughter of the Cui family, Cui Zhi? !
