Chapter 404 I beg for food to support you
Emperor Mingpei calmed himself down, carefully moved Tuanzi's chubby feet away, slowly removed the quilt and sat up, and Fang Wuyou came in silently to serve him.
Emperor Mingpei went out and asked, "How long have I been here?"
Fang Wuyou said respectfully: "The emperor slept for more than a quarter of an hour..."
Emperor Mingpei looked at him, Fang Wuyou bowed his head respectfully, he couldn't help but say it! After all, the little princess had come out! In fact, judging from the time, it didn't take too long. Emperor Mingpei returned to the East Warm Pavilion, asked someone to pour tea, drank a cup, and felt more energetic than usual in the afternoon.
Emperor Mingpei then said, "Call the cabinet."
Xinbao's biological clock was very accurate. He slept for about an hour before getting up, eating a small bowl of glutinous rice balls with glutinous rice flour, and getting ready to leave.
Fang Wuyou came over and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, the Emperor said that he has notified all the concubines in the palace this afternoon that they are not allowed to go to the back garden of the palace. If you want to go shopping, the whole family can go shopping. But there is nothing good to see right now, so just take a stroll..."
Xinbao was a little surprised: "How did Yeye know I wanted to go? Yeye is so awesome, isn't he?"
"Yes, yes," Fang Wuyou said with a smile, "In addition, the emperor said that you can come later tomorrow, before noon (11 o'clock), and ask the second master and Yuan Shao to come together. The emperor has something to say."
Xinbao nodded: "Oh."
It was already the afternoon, and the Fifth Prince and his companions could not wait until this hour, so they had already left.
As for the matter of the palace garden, an eunuch had already come to talk about it. As everyone knew, Xinbao was the one who wanted to go there, so they had been waiting for her.
After Mrs. Lin sent them off, she sat there in a daze. The second brother comforted her: "Mother, don't think too much. It's all over."
"I know," Madam Lin said with a smile, "I'm not upset. I just think that my beloved baby should also be as precious as gold and jade."
"Don't," Yan Shifan complained, "This is not being pampered, this is stupid, Xinbao would never be like this."
Because Xinbao was not there and had not gone to where she lived, they heard her and Madam Lin talking inside and the others talking outside, and they all heard what Han said.
Han was born in a marquisate, but she obtained the title because of her grandfather's ability. Her roots were shallow, and she was determined to raise a daughter of wealth, but it gave people a feeling of overcorrection.
She obviously wanted to please Madam Lin, and she was always being humble and trying to please her, but the problem was... poor people were not what she imagined! She couldn't imagine that there were people in the world who didn't have enough to eat; she couldn't imagine that in a family, only the strong laborer had rice in his bowl, and the others had soup in their bowls; she couldn't imagine that some families were so poor that they only had one pair of cotton pants, and whoever went out could wear it; she couldn't imagine that if she chopped firewood in the winter, she might freeze to death if she sold the firewood, but she would starve to death if she didn't sell the firewood.
She felt that wearing coarse cloth and not being able to be picky about food meant being poor, and farming was just like planting flowers at home, wielding the delicate little hoe.
She has never suffered any hardship at all.
So she kept comforting Madam Lin based on her imaginary poor people, and even cried from time to time... Anyway, it was quite speechless.
Madam Lin said, "She felt the calluses on my hands and said that farming must be very hard. I said, oh, these are from my sword practice."
Several people burst into laughter.
As soon as Xinbao came in, he heard everyone laughing and immediately came over: "Xinbao wants to listen too!"
"Oh, you're back." Madam Lin picked her up and said, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."
So they went to the Imperial Garden, which was now formally called the Palace Back Garden.
There are no flowers in the middle of winter, but looking around, there are pavilions, towers, flowers and trees that are lush and beautiful even when they are not in bloom.
While the others were just strolling around to see the scenery, Xinbao got down from the ground, took his short legs, and looked at the flowers carefully, one by one.
The Imperial Garden covers an area of more than ten acres, and there are patches of flowers in many places. Xinbao wanted to go in and take a look. After a while, she felt hot and her nose was sweating. She took off her cloak and handed it to Yuru. Chunhua said anxiously: "Your Highness, don't dare to take off your clothes. It's not a joke if you get hurt by the wind."
"It's okay," Xinbao said, "I'll just keep walking. It's okay."
Chunhua was so anxious that she ran back and brought her a short cloak and put it on her shoulders.
Xinbao wiped his sweat and said, "It's so hot! So hot!"
The third brother came over and lifted her cloak from behind, saying, "Is this okay?"
Xinbao nodded, and her third brother kept carrying her from behind. Tuanzi squatted and stood from time to time, but he didn't get annoyed and stayed by her side the whole time.
As soon as we got near Wanchun Pavilion, the Sansheng Stone lit up.
Xinbao took a closer look and when he looked at it this way, it looked like just an ordinary forsythia, but judging by the appearance on the stone, it should be a rare variant, one that might no longer exist in later generations.
Xinbao turned around and said, "Chunhua."
Chunhua came over in response, and Xinbao said, "Can you tell the person in charge of the Imperial Garden so that I can put a mark next to this plant."
After all, the Sansheng Stone will only give a hint the first time. If the feature is not obvious, what if I can't find it next time? Chunhua said anxiously, "The servant will call someone over."
She sent Baiji away, and soon a eunuch in his thirties came over and bowed, introducing himself as Wei Ping.
Xinbao had already placed a few stones on the roots, and warned him, "Don't transplant it, and don't move it. Just make a mark. I'll come back to see it in the spring."
Wei Ping agreed repeatedly and was extremely respectful and attentive.
Xinbao spent an hour and a half and only walked less than a quarter of the way...his calves were so tired that he couldn't even lift them, so he had to go back.
When Emperor Mingpei heard about it, he sent someone to tell her not to rush and that she could go sightseeing for a few days if she wanted, and that no one from the palace should be invited to come over during those few days.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After all, there is no Empress Dowager Donggong at the moment, so people from the harem usually don't pass by here, so it's not a bother. Of course, even if it is a bother, there is nothing to be done about it. This matter is much more important than the ladies strolling around the garden at their leisure.
The next day, Xinbao woke up and found Yuan Shenjue had already arrived. When Xinbao saw him, he remembered, "Ye Ye said that he wanted me to take you and my second brother there today because he has something to say..."
Yuan Shenjue asked: "What is it?"
Tuanzi shook his head innocently: "I don't know!!"
She reached out from her little cloak and held his hand: "Did you receive the letter Xinbao wrote to you?"
Yuan Shenjue said: "Received."
Tuanzi asked, "Then why don't you reply to my letter?"
Yuan Shenjue was prepared, so he took out the letter from his sleeve pocket. Xinbao raised his little hands and took it with both hands, and then asked, "Why is it so light? Is your letter not as long as Xinbao's?"
"No," Yuan Shenjue replied seriously, "I write a lot more words than you, but my handwriting is small."
"oh!!"
Tuanzi was satisfied and then opened the letter to read.
Yuan Shenjue took her level into full consideration and wrote in a very simple way, saying that he was well-versed in the books of sages and would never steal even if he was hungry and cold, let alone rob... He promised to support himself and her, and would never let her beg for food to support him...
Xinbao walked and looked around.
When Yuan Shenjue looked down, he saw her little red cloak and rabbit ears on her head.
Liangxia is very good at combing hair. Now Xinbao's hair is combed a bit like double flat buns. With a slight change, two small buns tied with silk flowers look like a pair of rabbit ears, cute and adorable.
Yuan Shenjue reached out and touched it.
The second brother came over quickly: "Huang Yeye said he wanted us to come over?"
Xinbao nodded: "Yes?"
The second brother said helplessly: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Xinbao said, "Because I had to go to the garden yesterday, I forgot about it!"
The second brother held his forehead and said: "Then let's go now?"
