The queen loves me alone

The food on the table was very rich, but he didn't move a single chopstick, it seemed that he was waiting for himself.

Mu Jin said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I just... had some things that were delayed."

Zhu Yan said: "It doesn't matter." Then she said to Ming Tai: "Ming Tai, eat."

As soon as Ming Tai heard that it could be eaten, he quickly moved his chopsticks.

Situ Jun looked down at the person with some dissatisfaction: "You are arguing to see Ah Jin, okay, I invited him here, but you only care about eating."

Ming Taiyang said: "I'm hungry... Ah Jin came too late."

Mu Jin is ashamed...

Also, it turned out that it wasn't His Majesty who wanted to see me, but Ming Tai?

"This kid hasn't seen you for a while, so he's clamoring to see you. I don't invite you here, but he keeps eating by himself." Zhu Yan smiled gently on the side.

Mu Jin thought: Mu Jin may have a very good relationship with Ming Tai. She has been busy outside the palace since she was reborn, and the number of times she saw this child is very few. Mu Jin picked up a piece of meat for someone with chopsticks In the bowl: "Mingtai, eat more."

With food stuffed in his mouth, Ming Tai said vaguely, "Ah Jin, you don't even come to see me anymore."

Mu Jin said: "Well... I'll see you when I have time after I've been busy for a while, okay?"

Ming Tai's shiny lips pouted: "It's a lie, you adults all say that, and your mother often says that too."

Mu Jin suddenly felt that this child was a bit pitiful. Zhu Yan was busy with government affairs all day long, and Situ Jun had an official position in the previous dynasty, so he couldn't take care of him in many cases, and there were no other children in the palace. Mu Jin used to be Mingtai's A playmate, because the two of them have nothing to do, so they may often get together to play.But now Mu Jin is no longer in the palace.

There are always too many things in the world of adults, and they will never be able to spare a little energy and time to accompany children.

On the opposite side, Situ Jun picked up a grain of rice from under the table, and scolded, "I'll be one year older next month, and it's still so unruly to eat."

Mu Jin said, "Mingtai's birthday next month?"

Situ Jun smiled and said, "Yes, I'm one year older before I know it."

Zhu Yan smiled and coaxed humanity from the side: "Mingtai is going to be five years old, how do you want to celebrate his birthday?"

Ming Tai shook his head while eating, innocently: "I think... I think everyone is here. Father is here, mother is here, and Ah Jin is also here."

Mu Jin was really worried when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said to Situ Jun, "President...Ming Tai's birthday, let me help with it this time."

Situ Jun looked down at Ming Tai and said, "Did you hear that, Ah Jin said that he would personally celebrate your birthday?"

Ming Tai got up from the opposite side, circled around, and slipped into Mu Jin's arms.The whole small body was spread out on the person's legs, and Mu Jin found that the person's belly was bulging.

Stretching out his hand to touch it, he was startled, "How much did you eat?"

Ming Tai burped, and acted like a girl, "I didn't eat much."

On the opposite side, Situ Jun rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and called the maid, "Come here, prepare a bowl of sour plum soup for the eldest prince."

Mu Jin: "..." Situ Jun has always been gentle and polite, but it seems that this child took some effort to teach.

Mu Jin asked Situ Jun again: "How did Ming Tai celebrate his birthday in previous years?"

Situ Jun said with a bit of shame on his face, "Oh...it didn't go very well. I did it once when I was one year old. After that, I ate a bowl of longevity noodles every year, and everyone gave me some gifts."

It's really random to be a parent.Mu Jin said: "Your Majesty, this year must be different from previous years."

Zhu Yan smiled and said, "Ah Jin is in charge of everything."

*********

Mu Jin started to get busy again, she was very concerned about Ming Tai's affairs.Simply because she is not alone now, the Ministry of Rites has come to Le Wan, and it is much more convenient for her to do everything.

On this day, she and Situ Jun asked for leave, so she took Le Wan to the street to do some shopping.On the streets of Chang'an, people come and go.

There was an endless stream of hawkers hawking.Shopkeepers walk around the streets carrying poles.

Le Wan said: "Princess, why did we come here? For the eldest prince's birthday, the court secretary is responsible for the purchase."

Mu Jin stopped in front of a stall, holding a rattle made of wood, and rattling things: "The eldest prince has never seen anything, and those things in the palace have long been tired of looking at them. Children don't care about you." What is expensive or not, what they like is not what adults think."

Holding the rattle, Mu Jin said to the vendor in front of the stall: "Boss, I want this."

"Good job, officer."

"I want this too. This... this... and this... well, I want this bamboo dragonfly too, yes, the red paint one."

Seeing that he had met a big buyer, the small vendor grinned to his ears, and hurriedly responded with a smile: "Guest officer, to tell you the truth, there are better craftsman here, because the ones you bought There weren't many people, so I didn't bring them over."

Mu Jin said: "Take out all the good things you have, the money is indispensable to you."

The small vendor said: "Guest officer, I want to pick it up when I go home, and you can go there with me."

Mu Jin thought for a while and thought: "Okay, then I will go with you."

"Good grin, sir." The peddler showed his front teeth with a smile, and closed all the stalls.

Lead the two of them to go home.

A few people came to a small house in an alley. It was a small house, but it was cleaned very clean.

As soon as Mu Jin entered the yard, he was attracted by something in the corner.

In a corner of the courtyard, under the big tree, there is actually a slide made of stone!

Several boulders are neatly arranged together, and the whole body and the grooves are polished extremely smooth.

The peddler saw that no one was coming in, so he just stared at that place, so he smiled and said: "Guest officer, this is a gadget made for the dog. When I was a child, the tiger always ran to the steps in front of the Confucian Temple to skate. The Confucian Temple is far away. So I thought about making a similar talc.”

Mu Jin's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can... make another one?"

The young peddler had a puzzled expression on his face: "Guest officer, it's not that I won't do it for you, but that it takes a lot of time, and such a big stone will be hard to find for a while. I'm afraid it will be difficult to polish a stone that is too small. secure."

Mu Jin thought, yes, it will take a lot of effort.It must not be in time for Ming Tai's birthday.

Mu Jin felt a little sad, and followed the people to the back room, and randomly picked out some gadgets.It is a rewarding experience.

Mu Jin walked out of the house and took another look at the stone slide in the yard.

Greedy, greedy, Ming Tai doesn't even have anything to play with.When she saw Ming Tai for the first time, she made a bunny out of foxtail, and the little bunny was so happy.

Thinking of this, Mu Jin suddenly blurted out: "Boss, is this for sale? 30 taels?"

The peddler was taken aback...

Mu Jin hurriedly said again: "50 taels."

Le Wan next to her was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "It's expensive, Princess."

The peddler quickly waved his hand.

Mu Jin said again: "100 taels, boss, please do me a favor, I must take this back." Before, she thought that Jing Wei was too generous, but now she couldn't help it.Children outside the palace have everything, and if they want to play on the slide, they can go to the Confucian Temple, but Ming Tai has nothing.If you are selfish, be selfish, she must buy it.

The peddler sighed: "Guest officer, don't worry, just listen to me first."

I only heard the peddler say: "My son is twelve years old this year. This is something he played with when he was a child. It has long been out of use. It's just placed in the yard with nowhere to move."

Mu Jin's heart brightened.

The other party said again: "You said to make one at the beginning, I thought nobles like you would look down on old things like ours, so I didn't dare to mention it to you."

Mu Jin hurriedly said: "Where is it, I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." It's smooth and slippery, which saves Ming Tai from sitting uncomfortable.

The peddler said: "Guest officer, you have bought so many things here. I don't need this rock slip anymore. If you like it, guest officer, just take it back."

Mu Jin was about to cry, this boss is really a good person, so down-to-earth.

Even if he asked for 200 taels, she would still give it.

But she always felt a little bit sorry in her heart, and felt that it was not good to take someone's things for nothing, so she forced 50 taels of silver into someone, and said apologetically: "Although you don't need it, it belongs to your family after all, and I don't want to take it for nothing." I'm sorry, so you can accept it. It's just that I came out in a hurry today and didn't bring anyone over. I'll find someone to come over tomorrow."

The peddler struggled for a long time without turning around, and said: "Then guest officer, remember to come and get it, I will show you the things."

Mu Jin was satisfied, he felt at ease after finishing the work, and couldn't help but slow down when walking on the street.

The street was bustling with activity, with a group of people not far away.

Mu Jin's curiosity came, so he dragged Le Wan to gather with others.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a jewelry stall.

Mu Jin didn't see anything new and didn't go inside, but Le Wan turned around excitedly and said: "Princess, come and see, it's a shell!"

I only heard the innermost vendor say: "Come, take a look, the pearl shell necklace from Penglai Island, if you like it, take a look."

Necklaces of pearls and shells were hanging from the stalls.It looks shiny and beautiful.

Only then did Mu Jin realize that in ancient times, transportation was not well developed, and the people in the inland areas originally thought it was a rare item.No wonder there are so many people around.

The peddler yelled: "Young man, I bought it for a little girl today, and I will let you marry a beautiful girl tomorrow."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Mu Jin was also amused by others, and then thought, since it is so novel, then Zhu Yan...hasn't seen it before?

Mu Jin couldn't help but walked a few steps inside.

Le Wan was already standing in the innermost place, dazzled, saw Mu Jin coming in, pulled Ren and said: "Jun..." Thinking about the wrong occasion, he changed his words: "Good sister, come and help me to see which one looks better ?”

She held two of them in her hand and gestured to her chest.

Mu Jin took a look and thought they were all a bit vulgar, but aesthetics vary from person to person, so she reluctantly picked one that wasn't too ugly, and said, "Let's go with this one."

Le Wan excitedly said: "Really! I also think this one looks better! Boss, I want this one!"

Mu Jin's fingers caressed rows and rows of shell products, and finally stopped on a string.

It is made of very small shells and conch shells. It looks clean and white, and looks very delicate. A natural blue gemstone is dropped in the middle.

Your Majesty should look good with this.Mu Jin imagined it.

"Boss, I want this." Mu Jin said.
