After the salted fish is married

114. Out of palace

Regardless of Dunba's willingness or not, Chu Liao and Liao Xia lost this match.His eyes were dark and he wanted to kill Ji Song to relieve his hatred.However, in front of many courtiers, instead of expressing his resentment, he had to say several words of praise to Ji Song.

The more aggrieved Dunba gets, the happier Ji Song becomes.It's a pity that there are too many people now, and he has no way to attack Dunba. As long as the conditions are right, he will definitely teach Dunba a lesson he will never forget.

Amidst the laughter, the banquet finally came to an end.When leaving the hall, Yan Xining fully felt what it means to be warm and cold.

When he and Ji Song came to Linde Hall, only one Ji Nan came to say hello.When they left, all the civil and military officials passing by them would smile kindly at them.If it were someone else, they would feel at ease when they heard the compliment, but Yan Xining felt very uncomfortable.

In particular, he would be stopped by people he knew or didn't know, which made him even more uncomfortable.

The first person who stopped him was Taifu Fu Yanzhi. The old matriarch looked at Yan Xining with bright eyes: "Princess?" His eyes seemed to be looking at an out-of-print ancient book.

Yan Xining shivered for a moment, feeling bad in her heart: "Teacher."

Fu Yanzhi smiled brightly, and he directly expressed his thoughts without going around the bush: "I wonder if the princess is interested in being the old man's closed disciple?"

Yan Xining was shocked, and he looked at Ji Song in horror.Ji Song also looked shocked, Yan Zhi, the emperor's master, actually wanted Yan Xining to be his closed disciple? !

Yan Xining worked harder and harder, let him be Fu Yanzhi's disciple?Or a closed disciple?Don't think that he doesn't know what kind of person Fu Yanzhi is, as long as Ji Tan mentions Tai Tuo, his smiling face immediately turns into a sad face.

He doesn't do salty fish well, but accompanies Fu Yanzhi to do math problems and recite ancient poems every day?Might as well be dead.

Before Ji Song could respond, Yan Xining's head turned into a rattle: "It's my honor to be favored by the Grand Tutor. However, I'm too young to be your closed disciple."

Hearing Yan Xining's answer, the surrounding officials had subtle expressions.

Fu Yanzhi is a great Confucianist in the world. Except for the princes and grandchildren, every student he taught is famous in Chu and Liao.It can be said that as long as he entered Fu Yanzhi's school, Emperor Pingyuan was his senior brother.How many people in the world want to be Fu Yanzhi's disciple but can't ask for it. Yan Xining actually shuts out the opportunity to be sent to his door. Isn't he stupid?

If other people had rejected Fu Yanzhi, the old lady would have walked away with a flick of her sleeves.However, after hearing Yan Xining's answer, the old matriarch's smile deepened: "I know you are not happy, it's okay, the future will be long. In the future, I will go to the palace to visit the princess. I hope that the princess will change her mind at that time."

Yan Xining's club was in a mess in the wind, how could he tell the Taifu that he really didn't want to follow him to seek enlightenment.Forget it, it's a big deal when the Taifu comes to the door, he pokes a few more koi to entertain him.

After finally seeing off the old matriarch, Yan Xining was stopped by Wu Zhu again.The Liao Xia scholar with a shy smile was a little embarrassed: "The foreign minister is visiting His Highness Princess Rong. I don't know when His Highness will be free. I have a few questions to discuss with you."

Yan Xining: ...

Let him die!In his opinion, Wu Zhu was even more difficult than Fu Yanzhi.Fu Yanzhi was at least from Chu and Liao. What kind of issues did Wu Zhu, a Liao and Xia person, ask him to discuss?

So he smiled and said, "I've been a little busy recently, maybe I don't have much time."

Uju blushed, he lowered his head and rubbed his hands like a gnat: "It's okay, it's okay, the mission will stay in the capital for more than a month, I can wait. If you don't have time for this month, then...then I can leave the mission." The regiment stays in the capital of Chu and Liao."

Yan Xining had a headache. He was really not good at dealing with persistent scholars, so he said frankly: "Actually, I'm really not good at arithmetic. I may not be able to solve your problem."

Uju raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of earnestness: "We are just discussing, it doesn't matter if we can't do it."

Yan Xining felt that if he continued to solve the problem, Wu Zhu would cry immediately.So he turned to Ji Song for help, and Ji Song said in a deep voice: "The princess is really busy. If your envoy can't wait, you can send the questions to the palace, and wait for the princess to look at the questions when she is free. What do you think?"

Wu Zhu grinned in surprise, with a bright light in his eyes: "Okay, okay. Thank you Your Highness Rong Wang, thank you Your Highness Wangfei."

Looking at the back of Wu Zhuhuan leaving, Yan Xining helplessly supported his forehead: "Hey..." He regretted it. He knew that he should not have told Ji Song the answer to that damn chicken and rabbit in the same cage in the hall.It's all right now, Fu Yanzhi and Wu Zhu are entangled with him, and he can already foresee the next scene where the two squat in Wenzhang Garden and refuse to leave.

Not long after Wu Zhu left, Yan Xining was about to push Ji Song away, when his eyes blurred, and Dunba was already standing in front of them with a gloomy face.Dunba's face was gloomy and his eyes were gloomy, as if the two owed him several million taels of silver.

Dunba stared at Ji Song without saying a word, he stared at Ji Song tightly like a poisonous snake.However, Ji Song was not at all afraid, he looked directly at Dunba calmly, taking in all the unwillingness and viciousness in Dunba's eyes.

Yan Xining felt the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, he cleared his throat: "What advice does His Highness Dunba have?"

Dunba snorted, and he cupped his hands arrogantly: "Thank you King Rong for teaching me today, I'm not prepared enough today, I want to learn King Rong's brilliant tricks another day."

Ji Song nodded slightly and spoke in a calm manner: "Then you have to speed up, after all, the mission has only stayed in Chuliao for more than a month." He softened the tone of the word "Yue Yu", which sounded rather Sarcasm.After studying hard for a month, I don't know if Dunba can hit the seventy-foot target in the next competition.

Dunba held his breath in his throat, and his face turned red and white.After holding back for a while, he flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "We'll see."

Ji Song said calmly: "Waiting for His Royal Highness Dunba." He lowered his eyes to hide the killing intent in his eyes.

As soon as Dunba left, Ji Song pointed to a road east of Linde Hall: "Let's go this way."

There is more than one door that can leave the palace. Under normal circumstances, all officials and princes and grandchildren will enter the palace through the Shenwu Gate.But if you hold the prince's waist card, you can also enter and exit through several other doors.Ji Song chose Donghua Gate. Although he would take some detours, he would rather take a detour than being stopped by other people.

Facts proved that Ji Song's choice was correct. After walking east for a while, the noisy voices of the officials disappeared.Only then did the two of them feel their ears became clearer, and Yan Xining's footsteps slowed down for a while.

To the east of Linde Hall is the Jinluan Hall where hundreds of officials usually go to court. At this time, the gate of the Jinluan Hall is closed and guarded by guards. Yan Xining can only look at it from a distance: "This is the Jinluan Hall, it is really magnificent."

Ji Song replied, "Yes."

Yan Xining glanced at the large square in front of the Jinluan Hall: "I finally understand why you went to court so early."

Ji Song raised his head in doubt: "Huh? Why?"

Yan Xining said: "Look, there is not even a single tree in such a big place. If court officials go to court in summer, the courtiers will have to suffer from heat stroke in the square."

Ji Song actually felt that what Yan Xining said was very reasonable. After laughing, he explained carefully: "If there are trees in the square, the guards will not be able to detect it if there is another assassin. Only later can government affairs be handled better, and if it is delayed until Chen Shisi, many things will be delayed."

Of course Yan Xining knew the reason, he just expressed his feelings after seeing the Golden Luan Palace: "Although those who can go to court are all leaders from Chu and Liao, I think it is not easy for everyone." Let him wake up every day like a chicken Good morning, he really didn't like it.

After passing the Golden Luan Temple, there are two roads that can quickly reach Donghua Gate. One is a long corridor with walls on both sides guarded by guards.There is also a need to go through a corridor to bypass the hospital.Yan Xining resolutely chose the road with corridors, the corridors in the palace were depressing to walk during the day, and goose bumps would arise when walking through the corridors at night.

One side of the corridor faces the lake, and the other side of the lake can see a corner of the imperial garden.The evening wind blew gently with warmth, Yan Xining felt the noisy voice in his head subside, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "I really admire Your Majesty."

Ji Song had just been poured a few glasses of wine, and at this moment he felt slightly tipsy.His voice was low: "Huh?"

Yan Xining said: "There are so many courtiers, he has to remember everyone's name and position, and he has to go up to the court every day to listen to their quarrels. If it were me, I would have a big head."

It's just that during the short distance from the meeting, it was like a thousand ducks were calling in his ears, and it took him so long to calm down.Emperor Pingyuan had to experience this scene every day, and most people really couldn't do it.

Ji Song chuckled: "Yes, it's very difficult."

Yan Xining pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly: "Tell me, can His Majesty really remember all the courtiers?"

At this time, Emperor Pingyuan's voice came from one side: "I can't remember."

Yan Xining was taken aback for a moment, he turned his head and saw Emperor Pingyuan walking unhurriedly from the path outside the corridor.Yan Xining and Ji Song hurriedly saluted: "I will see my father."

Emperor Pingyuan didn't bring any guards, and there was only Eunuch Yang by his side.Emperor Pingyuan smiled: "Excuse me, I know that you young couple will avoid that group of people."

Yan Xining was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that Emperor Pingyuan would listen to him if he made a casual joke.Fortunately, Emperor Pingyuan did not pursue it. He explained: "When I was young, I could remember the names of all the courtiers, but now that I am old, my memory is not good. But there is no need to remember them all. What I need is Those who do things, I will remember them when they do well.”

Yan Xining smiled awkwardly, and only heard Emperor Pingyuan say: "Today's banquet, you two did well. At least Chu Liao didn't lose face."

Ji Song said in a deep voice, "This is the job of the son-in-law and the husband."

Emperor Pingyuan smiled, and he patted Ji Song on the shoulder: "Go, walk with Weifu."

Emperor Pingyuan was not walking fast. Like Ji Song, he smelled faintly of alcohol.Xu Shi had drunk, today's Emperor Pingyuan talked a lot, and was a little more cordial than usual.

Emperor Pingyuan first asked Ji Song if he was comfortable in the Ministry of Industry, and then asked Yan Xining if he was used to being in the palace.At this time, he is not a high-ranking emperor, but an ordinary father who cares about his children.However, the father and son of the Tian family are not as casual as the father and son of ordinary families. Yan Xining felt that when Ji Song faced Emperor Pingyuan, he was more respectful than close.

The corridor came to an end. Seeing the lights of the imperial hospital flickering in front of his eyes, Emperor Pingyuan turned his head to Ji Song and said, "I wanted to walk with you for a while, but I can't do it today. If I have time in the future, I will go to your house for a walk."

After thinking for a moment, Ji Song asked, "Father, did you come to see the injured official?"

Emperor Pingyuan sighed: "The people of Liaoxia shot and injured people, but luckily no homicide occurred. The three injured generals were all good. They were injured for Chu Liao. I should go and visit them."

After a pause, Emperor Pingyuan said: "Actually, I know that Liaoxia's wolf ambition cannot be kept. But the situation forces me to bow my head."

Ji Song wanted to go to Tai Hospital with Emperor Pingyuan, but Emperor Pingyuan waved his hand at him: "Go back, Renhe and Zhengzheng are there, so you two don't get bloody. I will give you five days off, you have a good rest."

Speaking of Emperor Pingyuan walking slowly towards the Imperial Hospital with his hands behind his back, Ji Song stared at his back for a long time: "Father is really old."

The father, who was tall and straight in memory, now has a bent back.

115. Night market

When Ji Song and the two wandered to Donghua Gate, Yan Ke was already waiting outside Donghua Gate in a carriage.Yan Xining asked in surprise, "Yan Guard, how did you know that we would go through Donghua Gate?"

Yan Ke was very excited: "It's spread all over the outside world, saying that the master and the princess defeated the Liao Xia envoys, and our palace's carriage was surrounded by other coachmen. They said they wanted to see you two. I thought, master And the princess loves to be clean, and definitely doesn't want to be entangled by these people."

Yan Xining gave a thumbs up in admiration: "That's amazing, you can guess from this that we are going through the Donghua Gate." As expected of Ji Song's confidant, Yan Ke guessed Ji Song's thoughts clearly.

At this time Ji Song said slowly: "I asked the eunuch to send a message to Yan Ke to come to Donghuamen and wait."

Yan Xining: ...

Yan Ke was not at all embarrassed by being exposed, he said happily: "I didn't expect that the princess is proficient in arithmetic, and you are too modest. I have never heard you talk about it on weekdays. No wonder you are so relieved of Tang Guanshi. It turns out that you took a look at it. You can know the problem of the ledger. You are too good!"

The corners of Yan Xining's lips twitched: "Let me go." It's not a person who can tell the ledger problem at a glance, but a computer.

As soon as they got into the carriage, the two quickly took off their court clothes.Ji Song lifted the curtain on the carriage, letting the cool wind blow into the carriage to take away the heat.The carriage "da da" moved towards the direction of the palace. At this time, there was no one on the long street facing Donghuamen, and Yan Xining lay on the couch carelessly.

He faces Ji Song, rests his head on his left arm, and rests his right hand casually by his side.When he wanted to close his eyes and squint for a while, he felt his right hand being held by Ji Song.

A strange emotion rose in Yan Xining's heart, this was the third time Ji Song held her hand this evening.The first two times he could understand that when the Liaoxia mission provoked, Ji Song had to suppress his anger, and he needed someone to comfort him.

It was a strange feeling, and the touch of Ji Song's fingertips sliding on the back of his hand was amplified.Yan Xining felt her back numb and her scalp tingling.He wanted to withdraw his hand, but he heard Ji Song say: "Don't move."

As soon as Yan Xining opened her eyes, she heard a "click" in her ears.In the dim light outside the window, he saw Ji Song untie the sleeve arrow on his right arm.

Ji Song put the sleeve arrow in the dark space under his wheelchair, and then he rubbed Yan Xining's arm: "I should have gone back to Wenzhang Garden to untie the sleeve arrow, but seeing that you are sweating too much, I will help you." Unfastened. Do you feel better now?"

Although the sleeve arrows are exquisite, a set of sleeve arrows is tied on the arm, and the weight is not light.In order to make the sleeve arrow more stable and accurate when firing, the sleeve of the sleeve arrow is tied tightly, which makes people uncomfortable.After a banquet, water came out of Yan Xining's sleeve of the sleeve arrow, and the place where the sleeve arrow was tied was numb.

It turned out that Ji Song wanted to help him take off the sleeve arrow, the strangeness in Yan Xining's heart turned into gratitude: "Thank you, Songsong, I am much more comfortable."

Bright lights were thrown from the car window, and Ji Song's eyes were lit up by the lights: "You and I are husband and wife, no thanks."

Yan Xining wanted to remind Ji Song, but when he saw Ji Song's smile, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't say the reminder anymore.

Yan Ke's voice came from outside the carriage: "Master, Princess, there is a night market on Changle Street today, should we make a detour?"

Hearing this, Yan Xining looked out of the car window, only to see that the carriage had turned a corner and was walking on a long bridge.The long street at the end of the bridge is brightly lit, and both sides of the road near the lake are full of small stalls.The crowd was shoulder to shoulder, and the sound of talking and laughing came from afar.

The carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion is wide, so it would be no problem to pass through this street at ordinary times, but now that there are so many people and stalls, it is difficult to pass.Yan Ke said in shame: "My subordinates are so happy that they forgot to look ahead."

Ji Song said slowly: "It's okay, go back and take Changning Street." The roads in the capital extend in all directions, if this road is not accessible, just find another one.

After finishing speaking, Ji Song subconsciously looked at Yan Xining, only to see Yan Xining leaning against the car window looking at the lights on Changle Street, his eyes full of longing.Ji Song was startled, longing?Does Ah Ning want to visit the night market?

Thinking of what Ye Linfeng said to him, Ji Song asked, "A-Ning, do you want to come down for a walk?"

Yan Xining suddenly turned around: "Can I?!" He likes to go shopping in the night market so much, just now he glanced at it, he thinks Changle Street is very popular.Just considering Ji Song's legs, he was ready to give up.Unexpectedly, Ji Song took the initiative to bring up this matter, and Yan Xining burst into joy for a while: "Can I really go to the night market?"

Ji Song's heart softened: "Of course."

The market on Changle Street is held every tenth of every month. Most of the people who go to the market are nearby residents, and most of the roadside vendors buy and sell small objects and snacks.Rich people in central Beijing look down on this kind of market, but the common people like it very much.Whenever the night market opens, people will crowd Changle Street to the brim.

Yan Ke asked the accompanying guards to drive the carriage around Changning Street, while he himself followed Yan Xining and squeezed towards Changle Street.Watching Yan Xining push Ji Song skillfully through the crowd, Yan Ke couldn't help wiping the sweat off his brow, the princess and prince didn't take their own safety at all.

As soon as she got off the bridge, Yan Xining found her first target.Good guy, I don’t know if I don’t go out. When I go out, I’m startled, and I saw Chu Liao’s version of Oden on the side of the road.

I saw a small cart under the willow tree on the roadside, and a pot on the cart, which was filled with a pot of soup.There are strings of food soaked in the golden soup, there are meat and vegetables in it, and there are many things that Yan Xining has never seen before.

Seeing this pot of boiled skewers, Yan Xining suddenly wanted to taste them.So he warmly invited Ji Song: "Songsong, do you want to eat skewers?"

Ji Song laughed dumbfounded: "Didn't you get full just now?"

Yan Xining was very honest: "Let's be half full." Although a lot of food was served at the banquet, he didn't eat much before he was called up to do a topic.After waiting, he watched the competition and dealt with the toasts from various officials, so he couldn't eat well, and now he feels that he can still eat some.

Ji Song laughed, and he called out, "Yan Ke."

Yan Ke strode out from behind, offering his purse with both hands: "Master."

Ji Song handed the money bag to Yan Xining: "Go buy it."

Yan Xining quickly returned with a lotus leaf bag.The lotus leaves are fresh lotus leaves. The skillful shopkeeper folded the lotus leaves into the shape of a cup, so that they can not only put skewers, but also pour soup inside.

Although Chu Liao does not have plastic bags or boxes, the packing bags made of fresh lotus leaves have a special appeal.There are a bunch of strings inserted in the lotus leaf, each string is half a foot long, and there are large pieces of food on it.

Just now Yan Xining asked about it, and the shop used chicken soup to cook the ingredients.After a long time of stewing, the skewers are full of the umami taste of the chicken soup, and the flavors of the ingredients blend and penetrate each other. The delicious taste makes Yan Xining's index finger move.The Chu Liao version of boiled skewers shocked him greatly both visually and olfactorily.

Yan Xining didn't take any meat skewers, but only a few sticks that she didn't know.Before he could stand still, he picked up two skewers and handed them to Ji Song and Yan Ke: "Come on, try it, I think it should be delicious."

As he spoke, he pulled out a skewer, which was strung with taupe square things, which looked like konjac.When you take a bite, it feels more like sweet potato flour, but it is stronger than sweet potato flour.

There is no heavy oil and spicy food, only the original taste of the food itself.Yan Xining felt that he found a treasure: "It's so delicious, how about we cook a pot of skewers in Wenzhang Garden later?"

The kebabs that Yan Ke got were meatballs made from a mixture of minced meat and flour. They tasted a bit soft, but they tasted very good.He nodded again and again: "What the princess cooks must be delicious."

What Ji Song got was a bunch of crispy things with a strong taste, which were round in shape, and each grain was only as big as a plum.He couldn't tell what it was after several mouthfuls, and finally he could only ask Yan Xining for help: "A-Ning, what is this string?"

Yan Xining didn't know either, he took the skewer from Ji Song's hand and took the next one. After chewing, he was sure: "It's gluten, boiled gluten."

Speaking of which, he returned Ji Song's skewer to him, Ji Song held up the skewer and looked at Yan Xining in surprise.The gluten that Aning ate just now was accidentally licked by him...

After realizing this, Ji Song felt a secret pleasure in his heart.His throat slid up and down twice: "Is it gluten? It's delicious, I haven't eaten it before."

Yan Xining was unconvinced: "How come you haven't eaten it? Doesn't the cold noodle you eat have gluten in it? Oh, I understand, the gluten in my cold noodle is steamed, and there are more holes in it. Next time I cook it Let you try it, this is the taste."

Ji Song's smile deepened, and he said softly, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
