Funing Hall

At noon, they arrived at Henan Mansion.

After only one day, they not only did not notify the local officials, but even Zhao Zongning did not say anything.Originally Zhao Zongning only planned to come to Luoyang with Zhao Shu'an, but before the arrival, rumors leaked that many young ladies wanted to come with her.In the past few years, she had a very high reputation among the women in Beijing, so she simply waved her hand and brought all of them, and brought two ships of noble women from Beijing.They are admiring flowers in Luoyang, which is something that everyone in Luoyang County likes to talk about these days.Many men and women are proud to see a princess.

Zhao Zongning has such a lively temperament, since she brought so many noble girls, the officials of Henan Prefecture and Luoyang County, although they are different from her male and female, finally came to greet her together.Afterwards, Zhao Zongning was accompanied by his family members. Zhao Zongning had a good time in Luoyang, and he didn't want to go back to Kaifeng for a long time.

There are peonies in Luoyang, and it is the flowering season, so many people from other places come to see the flowers.With Zhao Zongning's presence, Luoyang County is even more lively.

There are flowers everywhere on the street, some real flowers and some silk flowers.

It's just that the peonies sold in the market are nothing more than ordinary varieties.

The county government also responded to this spring, and specially selected several temples in Luoyang County, and placed many peonies in them for the people to watch.Most of these peonies were planted by flower farmers in Luoyang County, and the government started to voluntarily place them in temples for people to see.

Among them, there are also a few pots that are particularly beautiful, and you can tell that they are not ordinary at a glance, and they all come from rich families in Luoyang County.

The ones exhibited in the temple are the same as the ones sold in the market, most of them are common varieties.

The real good varieties are in these big families.

A good variety of peony is delicate and difficult to raise, and ordinary people cannot afford it.Henan Prefecture had the name "Xijing" in this dynasty, which shows the importance of this city.The dignitaries and royal families in Tokyo all like to build gardens here.Luoyang County is the administrative seat of Henan Prefecture, and it is even more elegant than Jiangnan.There are many literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and they pay attention to the elegance of calligraphy and ink.

In Luoyang County, there may be twenty or thirty gardens built for the rich and powerful alone.These gardens not only have the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River, but also have the majesty of the north. There is no shortage of money and antiques in the houses of the rich and powerful, and the gardens are built more beautifully than the other.There are graceful and elegant ones, some are romantic and handsome, and there are more soothing and elegant ones.

These days, Zhao Zongning and the noble ladies in Beijing are visiting everywhere.

She is a princess, and every family will invite her to watch it, and they have a great time.

Although Zhao Cong was also curious, he knew that he didn't have much free time, and he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, so he would not go to these people's homes.He went to the temples in Luoyang County to see flowers. There are many temples in Luoyang. This time there are five places where flowers are placed for viewing. Zhao Cong can't go to every place. He chose Jingming Temple and Changqiu Temple.After seeing the flowers, I have to go to the county school to see them again.

Since they had already rested on the boat, they went to Jingming Temple first when they got off the boat.

The roads in Luoyang City are easy to recognize, they walked all the way, he and Zhao Shiqi walked in front, Qian Yuemo followed later.Qian Yuemo wears Mu Li, but Zhao Cong has no masculinity and does not allow others to look at his concubine.It really happened that the peonies in Luoyang City were in full bloom, and there were people everywhere at this time, Qian Yuemo was born so well, wearing it would save me a lot of trouble.

There are many people, and it is naturally lively, and there are also peonies on the street.

Zhao Cong was very happy to see it, and stopped from time to time to look carefully at the flowers on the side of the road. Even if it is a very common variety, the flowers that bloom are beautiful. The peony petals are stacked festively and elegantly. meaning.Zhao Shiqi dutifully accompanied him, just smiled and didn't speak.

Qian Yuemo was still staring at Zhao Shiqi at the beginning to prevent him from doing bad things, but she was also attracted by this celebration.

The fragrance of peonies is light, but there are so many peonies, the whole street is full of flowers.Qian Yuemo seldom went out, and gradually became too dazzled to pick it up. Piaoshu was even more excited, pointing to novelty things for her to read from time to time.

There are many flowers on the street, so naturally there is no shortage of flower sellers, some sell them directly in a pot, some sell a single flower branch, and there are even young ladies selling peonies that have been picked in bamboo baskets.

Even though Qian Yuemo was wearing a curtain, she could still see that she was a beautiful lady. After a while, someone walked up to Qian Yuemo and asked with a smile: "Madam, should I buy a flower to wear?"

Before Qian Yuemo could speak, Zhao Cong looked sideways and praised with a smile: "These flowers are pretty good, Yueniang can pick a few."

Girls love flowers, Qian Yuemo happily answered "Yes", and immediately picked flowers with Piaoshu.Zhao Cong watched with a smile as she picked three flowers, and motioned to Fulu to pay the money. He looked back and saw Zhao Shiqi standing behind him with a sullen face.He froze for a moment, Zhao Shiqi had already turned around and left!

Zhao Cong was stunned for a while, then immediately stepped forward and called him, "Stop."

Zhao Shiqi ignored him and continued to move forward.

Zhao Cong didn't think too much, and immediately went after him.

Rantao hurriedly followed them, Fulu paid the money, handed the flowers to Piaoshu, turned around and ran away.Piao Shu looked down at Dizzy in bewilderment, they were picking flowers just now, and they didn't know what happened.

Qian Yuemo bit her lip and looked at Zhao Shiqi's back.

She can guess what it is.

She hummed, this Zhao Shiqi only knows how to pretend in front of His Majesty!But His Majesty loves him and pets him and trusts him in everything!She raised her foot and said softly, "Let's follow quickly."

"The lady doesn't wear hairpins?"

"Let's talk later." Qian Yuemo also hurriedly followed.

Zhao Shiqi had long legs and walked fast, Zhao Cong couldn't catch up.On the streets of the busy city, Zhao Cong is the emperor after all, and he is bound by the rules of the palace all year round. The etiquette has been written into his bones, and he can't do things that shout in the street.He hurried a few steps, but he couldn't catch up with Zhao Shiqi.

Zhao Shiqi walked fast and domineeringly. In the crowd, he had bumped into quite a few people.It didn't hurt that he bumped into someone, and the people who got hit seemed to be hurt by the bump, and they all turned to look at him in dissatisfaction, but he continued to walk forward indifferently.

Going ahead is a stone bridge, Zhao Shiqi first turned into a nearby alley.

Zhao Cong, who was sick and weak, gasped for breath after taking many steps in a hurry. He let out another breath, walked to the entrance of the alley, turned around and said, "You guys are guarding outside."

Rantao and Fulu looked at each other, and replied: "Yes."

Zhao Cong stepped into the alley, and sure enough, Zhao Shiqi was standing against the wall inside, and he didn't look up when he saw him coming in.

Zhao Cong said angrily, "What are you doing!"

Zhao Shiqi still did not speak.

"Can't you walk more slowly? You bumped into so many people, including the elderly and children!"

Only then did Zhao Shiqi speak, and he whispered: "Your Majesty only cares about your people and concubines."

The first half of a sentence is still a sentence, but what is the second half of a sentence?

Zhao Cong approached him, frowned and said: "You bumped into someone, do you think you did something wrong, this is a busy street."

"After all, I'm the only one who is the most unruly!"

"The more you say it, the more unreasonable it is!"

Zhao Shiqi lowered his head and did not speak at all.

Zhao Cong was angry again, and he didn't know how to deal with his unreasonable words.

After resting for a while, Zhao Shiqi still didn't speak.He calmed down and had no choice but to continue to reason: "We are here to see the flowers, aren't we? Why are you leaving suddenly, and you are leaving in such a hurry? Tell me a reason. If it makes sense, how can I blame you? ? I know your rules are good."

"..." Zhao Shiqi didn't speak.

"Speak!" Zhao Cong said seriously.

Zhao Shiqi whispered angrily, "You buy flowers for Qian Yuemo!"

Zhao Cong was taken aback.

"It's still a peony flower!"

Zhao Cong was even more stunned.

Zhao Shiqi simply looked up at him: "Your Majesty is going to make her a queen?!" He was not only angry now, but also full of grievances and gloomy faces.

Zhao Cong looked at his face in a daze, thinking in disbelief, is Xiao Shishi jealous?

The peony flower is nothing to the common people, but the peony also has another metaphor. The world always uses the peony as a metaphor for the queen.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Shiqi became even angrier: "Your Majesty really wants to make her a queen?!"

Zhao Cong immediately said: "No."

"Your Majesty, buy him peonies!" Zhao Shiqi was still aggrieved.

Zhao Cong was just shocked by the fact that Xiao Shiyi might be jealous, now that he came back to his senses, he looked at his expression carefully, seeing the grievance on his face, he felt very sad.

He couldn't see Zhao Shiqi suffering the most.

He also immediately forgot about Zhao Shiqi's bumping into someone, and explained: "The flowers are beautiful, just buy a few for Yueniang. What does it have to do with the queen?"

"Your Majesty called her very affectionately."

"...outside, if you don't call it that, how do you call it?"

"She ranks second in the family! His Majesty calls her Second Lady!"

"..."

"His Majesty?"

"Okay, I'll call her Second Lady next time."

Just like that, Zhao Shiqi was still aggrieved on the face, and asked again as if confirming: "Your Majesty really won't make her a queen?"

"real."

"Your Majesty won't coax me?"

"When did I tell a lie?"

Zhao Shiqi curled his lips, still seemingly dissatisfied.

Zhao Cong said distressedly: "Don't be wronged, you are already sixteen."

"Your Majesty, don't buy her flowers again."

"Okay, no more."

Zhao Shiqi still leaned against the wall and looked at him wrongedly, Zhao Cong couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you still angry?"

"Your Majesty hug me, and I will not be angry."

"..." Zhao Cong's mind was moved by Zhao Shiqi, but he still remembered the ambiguous matter.The relationship between the two, the two are so ambiguous, hug?Is that good?He was a little hesitant, but Zhao Shiqi looked at him, and the more he looked at him, the more wronged he became.He felt uncomfortable and stretched out his arms, wanting to hug him loosely.

As soon as his hand touched Zhao Shiqi's shirt, Zhao Shiqi had already pulled him closer, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

Zhao Shiqi's chin was on Zhao Cong's shoulder, and he still said aggrievedly in Zhao Cong's ear: "Your Majesty, you have to remember what you just said."

Zhao Cong's eyes were straightened, and he didn't respond, he was already in a daze.

"His Majesty?"

Zhao Cong slowly returned to his senses: "Okay."

"In this way, I'm relieved." Zhao Shiqi said aggrievedly, but the expression of grievance just now was no longer on his face, his eyes were shining brightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he hugged Zhao Cong even tighter.

When the two came out of the alley again, Zhao Shiqi's face was full of smiles, Zhao Cong's face was a little red, but he tried his best to be calm, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Rantao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, we gave money to the few people we bumped into just now."

Qian Yuemo also nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will pay you."

Ran Tao smiled: "My lady personally apologized, but it scared those people."

Zhao Cong smiled at her: "Well done."

"It's all what a concubine should do!" Qian Yuemo happily blessed her.

Zhao Cong wanted to speak again, Zhao Shiqi turned and walked forward, everyone was stunned again.Zhao Cong was a little embarrassed, when did this bad temper develop? !In broad daylight, everyone is there, if you say jealous, you will be jealous, there is no reason at all!

But although he was embarrassed, he was also somewhat novel and even more happy.

Maybe this is called sweetness?

His Majesty the Emperor who felt this feeling for the first time, Zhao Cong turned and walked towards Zhao Shiqi.When Zhao Shiqian saw him coming back, he smiled obediently: "Your Majesty, let's go to Jingming Temple."

"it is good."

Zhao Shiqi's hand was hanging by his side, touching Zhao Cong's hand from time to time, but they didn't hold each other.Zhao Cong knew that he should take his hand back, or put it in his sleeve, but he couldn't bear it.

He simply let the palm stretch more naturally.

The smile on Zhao Shiqi's face was even wider. He even turned around to look at Qian Yuemo, and grinned.There is threat in the smile, but also complacency.

"..." Qian Yuemo paused.

"Miss?"

Qian Yuemo was secretly angry: "Let's go."

The author has something to say: Ms. Qian Shufei: I hate it so much!That liar, cheated His Majesty's sight, cheated His Majesty's mind, and wanted to cheat our Majesty's body? !I hate it so much, I hate that I can't expose this person's true colors!
