Harem for a living

Chapter 205

The carriage passed through Xuanwumen Street, and it was truly out of the palace.Sitting in the carriage, through the curtains, you can hear the bustling sounds outside, there are hawkers hawking, crowds talking and laughing, and the clatter of horseshoes, lively but not noisy.

Curious, Chen Manrou suppressed the urge to lift the curtains and looked at the emperor who was sitting opposite.The emperor was flipping through a book in his hand, and when he saw Chen Manrou's gaze, he raised his head and smiled at her: "Don't worry, Rou'er, when we get out of the temple, we can wander around the capital freely. Remember, the capital There is a time-honored gold shop that makes very good jewelry, and I will buy some for Rou'er later for my husband."

Chen Manrou burst out laughing, what the emperor said was really straightforward.If the husband of another family wants to make his wife happy, he must emphasize that the jewelry is selected by himself, and that the price is very expensive, the style is unique, and it is very worthy of his wife's beauty.How can it be like the emperor, who casually said to buy some for you, really thought that those jewelry were rice in a rice vat, and grabbed a lot of them?
"Then I would like to thank my husband." Chen Manrou went out of the palace once in more than ten years. She was in a high mood, and even lost three points of her usual cautiousness. She had a bright smile on her face and her tone became cheerful: "When the time comes I must pick a few more, Husband, make sure you bring enough silver.”

"Don't worry, lady, your husband's purse is still very big." The emperor's brows and eyes also brought a smile, and he stretched out his hand to scrape Chen Manrou's cheek twice, jokingly said: "My lady should be worried that I can't carry so much money on my body." jewelry."

Chen Manrou raised her head and thought for a while about the image of herself covered with jewelry, a pile of gold hairpins on her head, ten or twenty gold bracelets on her arms, and more than ten gold necklaces around her neck. Thinking about it makes her happy Get up and describe it to the emperor, the emperor also laughed, turned sideways, embraced Chen Manrou in his arms, and pinched her nose pamperingly: "Even if my wife is dressed like a nouveau riche, she is still beautiful and delicious."

Chen Manrou blushed, ignored the emperor, turned to face the curtain, endured it for a long time, but still couldn't hold it back, reached out and pinched a corner of the curtain, and secretly opened a seam, which was really a seam at first, probably only Thirty-five hairs are as thick.But slowly, the slit became as thick as one finger, and after a while, it became as thick as two fingers.

The emperor watched Chen Manrou's sneaky behavior like a little hamster, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. He never knew that his little wife had such a childlike side.

Then the emperor was stunned, it seemed that his own memory, the moment when his little wife first entered the palace, was also so innocent and cute.It's just that as time goes by, I gradually become caring and sensible.Suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and looking at the bright smile on Xiaojiao's wife's face, the emperor secretly decided that in the future, he should take her out for a walk more often.Living in the palace for a long time makes it easy for people to lose their temper.

"Your Majesty, I remember this place." The Emperor was contemplating when someone tugged his sleeve twice. He lowered his head and saw Chen Manrou pointing out excitedly and said, "Well, when I first arrived in the capital, my elder brother took me to the Playing in the street, I even came here to eat, I didn't expect that after so many years, this restaurant is still there."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, empress, what does that regrettable expression mean?
"Really? Let's sit here again after we come out of the temple." The emperor stretched out his hand to embrace Chen Manrou, and accompanied her to look at the window twice. It took Chen Manrou a long time to realize that he had actually done something. This kind of thing that lifts the curtain to peep!I even asked the emperor to watch it together!It's really embarrassing!
Resisting the urge to cover her face, Chen Manrou sat down neatly, glanced at the emperor, um, very good, she didn't mean to blame herself.

So Chen Manrou was relieved, and poured tea for the emperor in a doggy manner: "Your Majesty, how long until you arrive at the temple?"

"Probably soon, Rou'er is tired?" The emperor smiled gently. Chen Manrou shook her head and squeezed the emperor's shoulders: "I'm not tired, but I'm just worried that the emperor is tired. Your majesty, I heard that the vegetarian food in Fahua Temple is very good." Eat, shall we have lunch there?"

"Didn't you still want to use it in that restaurant before?" The emperor asked with a smile. Chen Manrou was also in a dilemma. The Vegetarian Restaurant in Fahua Temple is very famous, but you can hear a lot of voices when eating in the restaurant. Maybe the emperor is in a bad mood. Well, promise to find a room facing the street, and then she can still see the street.

"Then let's go to a restaurant to eat?" Chen Manrou hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision, looking at the emperor eagerly: "If we want to eat vegetarian food, can we invite the chef from Fahua Temple to the palace for a vegetarian meal? "

"If Rou'er wants to eat it, I'll have someone cook it in the palace in a few days. The chefs in the imperial dining room are all very smart, so they should be able to learn it well." The emperor nodded happily, and he He knew the solution long ago, but he deliberately didn't say anything in order to see the embarrassment on his little wife's face.

When he saw his little wife showing a big smile because of his decision, the emperor felt that he was right in not saying it before.

It's very boring to go to Fahua Temple to offer incense, because it's not like in the novel, you can meet someone casually, and then trigger a story.The emperor and the empress came to offer incense and fulfill their vows. Naturally, the royal temple was notified in advance.

So, she and the emperor booked the place.In this temple, apart from the monks, they are the only ones left.Chen Manrou knelt down in front of the Buddha and kowtowed, first praying to the gods and Buddhas to bless her child, and then praying to the gods and Buddhas to bless her family.

After thinking for a long time, I still added the words of protecting the emperor's health.There is no way, Xiaosi is only ten years old, the emperor still has to live healthy and healthy.

The emperor went to find a Taoist monk to communicate his feelings, so Chen Manrou had nothing to do after burning incense. Seeing that there was a lottery in the main hall, Chen Manrou urged several big maids around him to shake out the lottery.

Laughing and making noise, when the emperor came out after discussing the Buddhist scriptures, it happened to be time for lunch.The old monk with a white beard said that he had prepared a vegetarian meal, but the emperor refused, and took Chen Manrou to a restaurant for a feast very faithfully.

The restaurant was still the same restaurant, and the street outside the restaurant was still the same street, but sitting inside, Chen Manrou suddenly felt a sense of sadness.When she was not out of the palace, she felt that the palace was oppressive, but when she was out of the palace, she felt that she was out of tune with this world.

This is not like the Zhending Mansion where she has lived for many years. Which street has the best food, which street has the best rouge, which street is not allowed by the girl's house, and she can point it out with her eyes closed. Very accurate.

She was standing in the huge capital city, the only two places she could distinguish, one was Chen's Mansion, the other was the Imperial Palace, which was her natal Zhao's Mansion, and she only knew the direction vaguely.

Listening to the voices outside and watching the crowds coming and going on the street, Chen Manrou instantly felt that she was like that rootless duckweed.

"Rou'er?" Chen Manrou almost thought of herself as a poor little cabbage, when she suddenly heard the voice around her, she had a conditioned reflex, and immediately smiled: "Husband? Have you thought about what you want to eat?"

Sad spring and autumn or something, go to hell.

"What do Rou'er want to eat?" The emperor asked with a smile, stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Manrou to sit beside him, then turned to look at the waiter in the shop: "What are your signature dishes here? Do you have medicinal food?"

"Husband! I don't want to eat medicinal food!" Chen Manrou's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted, anyone who ate a meal full of medicinal food for two months would definitely have the same reaction as hers.The emperor is out of the palace, so there is no need to eat that anymore.

The waiter carefully glanced at the emperor, waiting for this person to make a decision.

Chen Manrou blinked pitifully at the emperor, making the expression on her face look more pitiful, and the emperor softened her heart: "Husband, I really don't need to eat that, the doctor took the pulse that day, didn't he say that I'm already healed? "

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay then, if you don't eat medicinal food, then report the best dishes in your restaurant."

The waiter was straightforward this time, and uttered a list of dish names very neatly.The emperor picked and ordered more than a dozen dishes, so that the emperor would not waste it. When he was in the palace, the emperor’s meal was only twelve dishes. Now the two of them add up to no more than twenty dishes, which is already very frugal. .

Chen Manrou was in a good mood, and her appetite naturally increased. The emperor was very surprised to see it, but seeing other people's appetites were good, her own appetite was also easy to improve. The two of them almost ate their stomachs!
"Rou'er, are you ready?" The emperor looked at Chen Manrou with a smile, and personally wiped Chen Manrou's mouth with a handkerchief. Chen Manrou almost trembled in fright, and quickly pulled off the handkerchief: "Have you eaten, where is your husband? If not Eat well, shall we eat something else?"

"I've used it too, but I didn't know that Rou'er had such a big appetite." The emperor looked at Chen Manrou jokingly, Chen Manrou blushed slightly, and smiled embarrassingly: "Isn't that because of being with your husband?"

"Really? Then when I go back, I will have more meals with my wife." The emperor didn't know what he thought of, but he was very happy.Chen Manrou was very sad. I was afraid that the emperor's words were serious, so would she still be able to eat enough in the future?

"My husband is busy, so don't worry about my concubine's life." Chen Manrou sincerely persuaded him, the emperor only thought that although Chen Manrou was pleasantly surprised but did not dare to accept it, he just patted Chen Manrou's hand and smiled: "There is still time to have dinner with my wife."

Chen Manrou didn't dare to persuade her anymore, she only hoped that the emperor's words were a joke.

After resting in the restaurant for a while, the next stop is to go to the gold shop.Women naturally like shopping, but it depends on who is with them.Chen Manrou was excited all morning, and was looking forward to going to the Chen Mansion, so she was a little careless.

Only halfway through the afternoon, Chen Manrou began to look at the emperor frequently.The emperor also knew what Chen Manrou was thinking, but he had to see enough of Chen Manrou's anxious expression before he led the people into the carriage with a smile.

"Rou'er don't need to worry, I've already sent someone to the Chen's residence to tell you that all of Rou'er's family members should be here at this moment." Although I like to see Chen Manrou's anxious expression, it is also to discover the difference between my little wife On the one hand, admire the expression under her mask.It really made my little wife anxious, and it was me who was distressed.
