Chapter 17 7. Find some meat to eat

"We have to eat vegetarian food for three days." I looked at all the vegetarian dishes on the table and didn't know where to start.

Wei Xue ate with gusto, "It's good to eat vegetarian food for a few days now and then."

"It's okay to eat one or two meals. It's going to be like this for three days. Just thinking about it makes me lose my appetite." It's fine if there is no meat, and I can't even see any oily foam. I put down my chopsticks after taking two casual bites.

As soon as I picked up my feet, Wei Xue asked, "Where are you going? It's already night."

"Go find some meat."

"Don't go."

"I'll go and come back quickly, and I can bring you some back." I thought, so you won't be able to stop me from going.

"No need, and you're not allowed to go." Wei Xue refused me abruptly.

Even though I'm dissatisfied, I can't expressly object, thinking that it's fine to wait for Wei Xue to fall asleep before sneaking out.

The wait is long.

"Go wash up and go to sleep." Seeing me sitting still, Wei Xue couldn't help urging me.

"Go to sleep, I'm feeling sorry for the moon." I sat at the door and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, feeling like a chicken rib.

Weixue was a little speechless, "Then take your time to feel grateful, no matter how much you feel grateful, the moon will not turn into a chicken rib and fall down."

After finally waiting for the moon to pass, I gently closed the door and tiptoed out of the courtyard of the wing.

When I came here, I remembered that there were some farmers near the imperial mausoleum, which came in handy at this time. After a few steps out of the imperial mausoleum, I saw a thatched cottage with lights on, and the family inside the house was still busy with work.

"Girl, what's the matter at night?" The old woman came out of the door and looked at me with puzzled eyes. My sudden appearance seemed to startle her.

In order to reduce her vigilance, I immediately took out a piece of silver and said, "I'm a guest living in a nearby temple, but the temple eats vegetarian food all the time, and I'm not used to it, can you get me some meat? "

As soon as I said that, the old lady immediately relaxed, collected the money, and hurriedly invited me into the house.

Maybe for the sake of money, this family gave me all the cured meat and ducks that they were reluctant to eat, and I was so happy to eat them.

"Thank you."

"If you want to eat next time, you can come again!" When we left, everyone said this, and I couldn't help nodding. If I could, I really wanted to come every day. Eating fast every day is really uncomfortable.

The temple yard at night was very quiet. In order not to disturb Weixue's rest, I walked with extra care for fear of making any noise.

"You still know how to come back?" A voice cut through the night and came from the darkness.

I froze immediately, oh no, this was all discovered, Weixue had repeatedly ordered me not to go out, but I still slipped away, maybe she knew from the beginning that I was going out, and she just didn't expose it.

"Sorry to wake you up." In fact, I suspect that she was not asleep at all, and her voice was sober.

"Get out of here right now!"

This was very embarrassing, so I had no choice but to move out of the room again, thinking, come out, come out, you think I want to sleep with you.

So, I slept with Liu Yan, a court lady whom I usually get along with, for one night. When I slept in the early morning, I suddenly felt a little cold, so I couldn't help hugging the person next to me.

"How are you sleeping?" A familiar voice came from next to my ears. I didn't want to open my eyes, and I didn't want to answer, so I hummed twice and continued to sleep.

Suddenly, holding the air in her arms, Liu Yanfei next to her seemed to jump off the bed, "See you princess!"

Liu Yan probably didn't expect Wei Xue to come here so early, and to be honest, I didn't expect this guy to get up early in the morning to see how other people sleep?

"Mu Qingzhi, I'm going back to my room now. If I don't see you when I get there, you can come and see me." The voice was calm, but I knew she was angry.

Wei Xue's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured on her, and her mind cleared up at that time, she quickly jumped up from the bed, grabbed her clothes and ran towards Wei Xue's room, even using lightness kung fu.

She came in leisurely and slowly, seeing that I was only wearing a single shirt, she said: "Put on your clothes, pack up, and go out to eat with me!"

"Okay." Thinking back to when I followed Si Yong, my life would be as happy as it was, but now I have to suffer so much for stealing a meal of meat, Si Yong, come and save me...

Although Weixue had already put incense on the ancestral tablet when she arrived at the imperial mausoleum, in fact, today is the first day of the sacrifice. In the morning, everyone had to sit in the lobby and listen to the eminent monks chanting sutras, which made my eyelids fight.

Looking at Wei Xue again, this girl is very energetic, like a Buddha, motionless and concentrated.

"It's finally over." Walking out of the lobby, I felt like my body was being hollowed out. If I want to add a punishment to the criminal law, I think I can add chanting.

"There's more in the afternoon." Weixue said softly something that sounded like a huge boulder to me. I was really complaining, and I hurriedly covered my stomach and said, "I have a stomachache, so I can't go in the afternoon."

"Then I'll find someone to cut your stomach open to see why it hurts."

I swallowed my saliva and said with a smirk, "It doesn't hurt anymore." At this moment, I finally understood what it means to "want to cry but have no tears".

Noon is oil-free and vegan as always. The more I look at it, the more I miss the duck and bacon that I ate last night. How about sneaking out to eat again tonight?Well, okay, so it was decided, but at night, Wei Xue gave me a ban. The ban said that if I dared to sneak out to steal food before tomorrow, I would have my mouth shut.

Such a majestic Princess Zhaoyun, she must be the only one who can represent the emperor here, but she gave me a taste of being with the king as if it were a tiger too early.

At night, I couldn't sleep, but I didn't dare to disturb Weixue over and over again. I kept comparing the difference between being in the palace and being in the imperial mausoleum in my mind. I couldn't help but frown, and didn't go to sleep until midnight.

When I opened my eyes early the next morning, I found that my arm was resting on Wei Xue's shoulder, and my face was rubbing against Wei Xue's sword. I was so frightened that I felt like I retracted my arm and moved my body to the side.

Holding a female devil head, I can still sleep, and I really convinced myself.

I lived in the imperial mausoleum for three days, like I lived for three months, did not eat well, did not sleep well, on the day I returned to Beijing on the road, the maid Liu Yan asked me what was wrong when she saw that I was not in good spirits. "It's not your princess." It's like taking the wrong medicine.

"What happened to the princess?"

"Hey, don't talk about it." I cried too much. I didn't dare to tell Liu Yan that I couldn't sleep because I slept with Princess Zhaoyun. As for why I couldn't sleep, I couldn't tell. When she lay next to me, I felt restless and uncomfortable.

When I went back, I proposed that I wanted to ride a horse, but it didn’t work out. Fortunately, I was very happy on the horse for a while. Speaking of which, riding in a carriage is not suitable for me. I always feel that I should be riding a horse. of.

A group of court ladies and eunuchs followed behind, and Liu Yan was among them. Seeing me turn around, she smiled at me.

Halfway through the journey, I thought Liu Yan was too tired from walking, so I put her on the horse and let her sit in front of me.

"This is not good." Liu Yan was still a little uneasy.

I reined in the reins, "You have come up, what are you afraid of, there is me."

Liu Yan stopped talking, I know it would be unfair to other people who are still on foot, but I only have one horse, and there is nothing I can do to help.

It was about the first time riding a horse, Liu Yan was a little nervous at first, but after a while she got used to it, and joked with me all the way, the two of them were so happy, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Wei Xue who was riding in the carriage, and missed the warm sun and wind along the way.

When approaching the palace gate, Liu Yan felt that it was not good for others to see, so she dismounted and returned to the team.

The days in the imperial mausoleum were too miserable, but once I entered the palace, I felt relaxed. "Finally back." Si Yong sent Xiao Luo to pick me up earlier, and now I see her very kindly.

After getting off the carriage, Weixue went directly to Yuqian, probably because he had something to report, so Xiao Luo and I went back hand in hand.

On the way, Xiao Luo told me that the emperor had already married Princess Rongchang.

"Who is the other party?" I was only worried about how sad Si Yong would be if it wasn't for Xie Chenggui.

"Xie Chenggui, the second son of Lord Shangqing Xie." Xiao Luo said, when Si Yong heard this name, he almost cried.

Yes, dreams come true, how can I not cry... My cousin Si Yongding kissed, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

I asked, "When will the big wedding be?" On the one hand, I hoped that day would come sooner, and on the other hand, I hoped that it would be later. I hoped earlier because I could leave the palace earlier, and later because I was reluctant.

Xiao Luo said, "It will be next year at the earliest."

"That's right, the fourth and fifth princes haven't been decided yet." I thought of Wei Xue again, she was indeed a pillar of talent, and the emperor directly bypassed her even though she was referring to marriage.

"The emperor was happy that day, so he pointed out the marriage between the princess and the fourth prince. Now, only the fifth prince is left to be decided." When Si Yong is married, the dowry must be Xiao Luo. Some expectations.

"In that case, the fourth prince will also leave the palace."

"It should be like this, but I haven't heard of it yet." The fourth prince has little contact with us, so we don't know each other very well.

When I suddenly learned that two people of similar age were going to get married, I felt a chill in my heart for no reason.

That day I asked Si Yong why the emperor pointed at Xie Chenggui so coincidentally, but Si Yong, who had always been shy, said that she asked for it by herself. marry.

"You really impress me, so the emperor agrees like this?" It sounds easy.

"Father said that I was the first person who dared to say that to him. It reminded him of Concubine Zhuang."

Concubine Zhuang, isn't that Weixue's mother... To be bold, Weixue is also well-informed.

I threw myself on Si Yong's shoulder and murmured: "Hey, my dear Si Yong, I didn't expect you to get married so soon."

"Still early."

"I know, next year, it's actually not far away." At that moment, I thought of the line sung by Hang Xiu: I sigh that life is like flowers and plants that flourish in spring and summer, and wait for the autumn wind to fade away...
