At this moment, the table in the main hall was already full of meals.There are wontons, noodle soup, mutton soup, and various styles of cakes and porridge.The smell came out, making Tao Anran even more hungry.
But it was the person sitting at the table that attracted Tao Anran's attention more than the meals.Xiao Jingyu was dressed in a black robe, which embellished his perfect figure, but at the same time made his temperament even more cold.
Tao Anran was a little curious, based on his understanding of Xiao Jingyu in the book.Aloof and aloof is the best description for Xiao Jingyu.Xiao Jingyu probably wouldn't eat with him.
I didn't expect to see him at the dinner table.And from the looks of it, Xiao Jingyu seemed to be waiting for him to eat together.Perhaps this is a respect for the status of the princess?
Tao Anran didn't forget to salute first even though he was eager.Whenever this time, he would complain about this damn feudal social background.After seeing Xiao Jingyu nodding, he sat down less urgently.
When everyone at the dinner table was present, Xiao Jingyu immediately picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.Tao Anran didn't know if there was a rule of keeping one's word in the palace.But no matter whether there is such a rule or not, when facing the taciturn Xiao Jingyu, he should regard it as having this rule.
A breakfast is finished in a quiet atmosphere.Xiao Jingyu felt that the decision to have breakfast with Tao Anran was the right one.
He noticed it last night, it seemed that Tao Anran's meals were particularly tasty.In particular, he couldn't pretend that he was eating with gusto.Sure enough, when eating at the same table, under the influence of the people around him, even the food he was used to eating seemed to become a little tastier.
When Xiao Jingyu put down his chopsticks, Tao Anran was still eating.But he also knew that there was still something to do next, so he quickly put down his chopsticks after drinking the last mouthful of porridge.Sure enough, after the two rinsed their mouths for a while, they immediately moved outside the mansion and got into the carriage that had been prepared.
The carriage wheel moved 'grumble', and soon left the street in front of the palace gate.Unlike the quiet atmosphere before, you can hear the cries from the street at this time.
The plan for a day lies in the morning.This is the time when those merchants set up their stalls.
"Selling cooking cakes! Freshly baked cooking cakes!"
"Selling persimmons! Sweet and crisp!"
"Selling fish! The fresh fish just arrived! It's still alive and kicking! If you pass by, come and take a look!"
……
Tao Anran felt itchy when he heard these cries.He took a sneak peek at Xiao Jingyu and closed his eyes after getting into the car.Seeing that Xiao Jingyu didn't move, Tao Anran pretended to inadvertently opened the curtain beside the carriage, and poked her head out.
Tao Anran has been in a state of not leaving the door for such a long time since he passed through.The only time she went out was when she got married yesterday, from Tao Mansion to Wang Mansion.It's just that so many people were paying attention to him at that time, it was difficult for him to make any movements.Not to mention seeing what it's really like outside.
This moment is a rare opportunity.
For Tao Anran, this is a close contact with these ancient city life.He poked his head up and stared intently.
He saw jugglers, and heard the clapping of storytellers and the applause of guests in the restaurant.The children on the street ran and played together in twos and threes.Vendors entertain guests who come and go.The owner of the wonton stand is busy cooking wontons.There was already a table of guests sitting on the table behind him.There are also farmers carrying burdens walking quickly through the street.
All of this was extremely novel to Tao Anran.When he reluctantly put down the curtain and turned around, he saw Xiao Jingyu, who was supposed to close his eyes and meditate, looking at him.I don't know how long I watched it.
Xiao Jingyu had some doubts in his heart, "Hasn't the concubine ever come out?" Otherwise, why is it like coming out for the first time, and she is so interested in the common situations outside.The rules for the brothers and sisters in this dynasty are not so strict. Most of the time, those brothers and sisters can show up like men.
Tao Anran was startled, but still responded calmly: "You made the prince laugh. It's been a while since I came out. So when I first came out today, I wanted to take a look outside to see if there were any new changes."
Xiao Jingyu raised his eyebrows, "If the concubine wants to see more, after seeing the father, she can naturally take a stroll outside."
Tao Anran readily agreed, so that he could take a tour of this ancient capital in a legitimate way.By the way, you can learn about all aspects of this era.
The carriage drove slowly through the busy street and soon arrived in front of the palace gate.Tao Anran got off the car with Xiao Jinyu.Riding on horses is forbidden in the palace, so from the palace gate, they have to walk in with their legs.
There were already people waiting in front of the palace gate.Tao Anran happened to be familiar with this person.He sat at the lower side of the high hall at yesterday's wedding.He is Wang Lu, the powerful eunuch beside Emperor Jin De.
When Wang Lucong saw the carriage of Zhenbei Palace, he trotted from the gate of the palace and approached the carriage.By the time Tao Anran got off the station, he had already approached him and quickly saluted, "My lord and concubine!"
Xiao Jinyu nodded, "Eunuch Wang, please start. Please wait for Eunuch Wang."
Wang Lu responded respectfully, "Don't dare to be, dare not be. This is what old slaves should do. Your Majesty has been waiting for the prince and concubine for a long time, please follow the old slave!"
Xiao Jingyu replied: "Eunuch Wang, lead the way." Although he already knew the terrain of the palace.But the emperor sent Eunuch Wang to wait in front of the palace gate, which was also adding face to him.Xiao Jingyu naturally accepted.
In this way, Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu walked along the palace road in the palace with Eunuch Wang.Tao Anran only dared to glance around a little bit, after all, this was the imperial palace where power was centralized in ancient times.He should be more cautious, just in case he encounters any taboos.
Wang Lu is worthy of being the imperial eunuch.As he walked, he occasionally said a few auspicious words.Not only to tell Xiao Jinyu, but also not to forget Tao Anran, taking care of both of them.On the way to meet the emperor, Tao Anran's nervous heart relaxed a lot.
Several people walked all the way to Xuanzheng Hall.When he arrived at the front of the hall, Wang Luxian went in to make an announcement.Then there was a call from inside the hall. "Xuanzhen Beiwang Zhenbei Wangfei has an audience."
The two climbed up the steps, crossed the threshold and entered the Xuanzheng Hall.Tao Anran followed Xiao Jingyu to salute and greet without waiting to see what kind of people were sitting in the hall.
"My son, see my father."
A majestic voice came from the hall, "Excuse me."
When Tao Anran got up, he had time to look around.Only then did he discover that the people sitting in the hall were not only the emperor in bright yellow clothes, but also a beautiful woman.Xiao Jingyu beside him obviously noticed it too, and his face seemed to turn dark.
Xiao Jingyu's voice turned cold: "Concubine Mei is not in the harem, why did she come to the front hall?"
Hearing this voice of questioning, Emperor Jin De's face was a little ugly.But he couldn't say anything.Today is the day when the newlyweds kowtow to their in-laws.But Xiao Jingyu's mother, Empress Xian, died long ago.It stands to reason that the newlyweds only need to meet Emperor Jinde.
But Concubine Mei came here early in the morning.She came here in the name of caring about King Zhenbei and his concubine on behalf of the people in the harem, and Emperor Jinde couldn't drive her away for no reason.
After all, Concubine Mei can also be regarded as Xiao Jingyu's concubine.It stands to reason that it is normal for her to appear here.It's just that Emperor Jin De knew that Xiao Jingyu had always disliked the people in the harem, so he didn't notify the people in the harem to come.
Concubine Mei's expression remained unchanged, she smiled and said, "My lord, don't blame Your Majesty, the concubine came here on her own initiative. The sisters in the harem are really curious about what kind of person Princess Zhenbei is, so the concubine volunteered to come and see one look."
Concubine Mei stood up and walked in front of Tao Anran and held his hand, "Looking at it now, the lord really has good eyesight. When the concubine sees this child, she knows that he is a cute and cute child. And judging by his appearance, he has a good eye. The prince is also very well-matched. In my opinion, His Majesty should have granted a marriage long ago. I didn't prepare any expensive gifts here. You take this warm jade. It's also good to cover your hands when it's cold. "
Tao Anran lamented that Concubine Mei deserved to be the hero's mother, she was full of scheming and wrists.The ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is really brilliant.After all, no one knows that Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu's marriage is tricky.
But after what Concubine Mei said, it seemed like they were in love with each other.And his words pleased those present.Emperor Jin De's complexion changed for the better.Xiao Jingyu still looked indifferent.
But the work of warming up is well done.
It's just that a piece of warm jade is stuffed in Tao Anran's hand now.This piece of warm jade looks precious, but I don't know if there is anything bad stuffed in it.He was at a loss for a while, so he looked to Xiao Jingyu for help.
When Xiao Jingyu received Tao Anran's eyes calling for help, his displeased mood immediately improved a little.He said leisurely: "Since it is Concubine Mei's wish, then you can accept it."
After getting approval, Tao Anran accepted it with confidence, "Thank you, Concubine Mei."
When you go back, put it away and put it at the bottom of the box, so that it will never see the light of day.
Concubine Mei saw that Tao Anran had put away the warm jade, and immediately smiled again: "Sure enough, it's not that the whole family doesn't come in. You just got married, and you can communicate with each other. It really is a match made in heaven. Your Majesty, don't you think so?"
Emperor Jin De, who had witnessed everything in the hall, also smiled and said: "Concubine Mei is right. You two are really a match made in heaven."
Tao Anran was speechless when he heard that, he could only smile awkwardly.
Fortunately, without saying a few words, Concubine Mei declined and left.
"Your Majesty. The concubine has already seen the concubine today. This time, I can go back and have a good talk with the sisters in the harem. The concubine will not disturb the conversation between your majesty and the prince, so I will leave."
This is what Mei Fei does.She knew when she was supposed to be there and when she wasn't.Just like the next tea service for the newlyweds, she is not qualified to be there.So she now gives both parties a step down.
Anyway, her purpose is to see what kind of person the new Princess Zhenbei is.The goal is achieved at this moment.It's time for her to step down too.
Concubine Mei's knowledge generally satisfied Emperor Jin De, and he quickly said, "Wang Lu, send Concubine Mei out."
"Yes." Wang Lu in the corner hurriedly sent Concubine Mei out with a low eyebrow.
But it was the person sitting at the table that attracted Tao Anran's attention more than the meals.Xiao Jingyu was dressed in a black robe, which embellished his perfect figure, but at the same time made his temperament even more cold.
