MTL - Princess a Lives By Kissing Me Every Day-Chapter 33
I didn't expect Qin Yuci to do such a trick.
Although it's just a leaf, but looking down and seeing the tiny pieces of moonlight inside, I don't know why, and I feel much better.
So Lin Moran curled his lips into a smile, thanked Qin Yuci obediently, and didn't spoil his wishes, took the roll of leaves and carefully held them up to continue walking.
While walking, he whispered to Qin Yuci whether he wanted to buy something to eat when he went back. After all, he was tired after traveling all day and was hungry for a long time. After all, he had to eat something good. Not to mention anything else, this was also for the sake of the princess's health .
That's what I said, but it's obvious who wants to eat, just by hearing it.
Qin Yuci smiled, but did not expose her, and then opened his lips in response: "Mo Ran is right."
"Then I'll send someone to buy some pastries and come back." She said, raising her head as if admiring the moon, but in fact Lin Moran was covered by the corner of her eye, with a faint smile on her lips.
As soon as the words fell, the people around him really nodded quickly, with joyful and happy smiles on the corners of their lips: "Okay."
"I heard that the sauced duck in Zuixianlou is also good." Qin Yuci continued, "Would you like to ask someone to take one too."
Sauce duck.
Lin Moran was very happy, his eyes were shining, and they seemed clearer and brighter than moonlight at first glance: "Okay, when I was eating in the palace before, Mo Ran remembered that the princess likes to eat sauced duck."
I like it a little bit, but obviously not as much as you.
Qin Yuci smiled, turned his gaze away and continued to walk forward. When he remembered some delicacies he saw, he told her all of them. Passing some slopes, he even raised his hand to hold her in fear of Lin Moran falling down.
The countryside is vast and sparsely populated, and it is very quiet. The cold wind blowing in at night and whistling in my ears is really cold.
Therefore, there are few people around. The common people have returned home to rest early after a day of work. When they look up, they can only see candlelight seeping from the windows.
It was surprisingly quiet, almost giving people an illusion, as if there were only the two of them in the world, and there was nothing else.
For some reason, an indescribable feeling arose in Lin Moran's heart. He vaguely felt that although the night breeze was cold, his body was empty, and even the road under his feet was very difficult to walk, with Qin Yuci, everything seemed to be gone. So bad.
It even feels like this, the two have been walking side by side, watching the moon and chatting seems to be quite happy.
When it can be called a good sentence.
"..."
The servants bought the food one by one according to Qin Yuci's instructions, and Lin Moran happily ate it. He immediately felt extremely comfortable, exuding joy from the bottom of his heart.
After a short rest and tidying up, he went to bed just like yesterday, and fell asleep peacefully beside Qin Yuci.
Just as Kunwei's letter had a soothing effect on Qian Yuan, Qin Yuci's letter had the same effect on her. Lin Moran slept comfortably all night, and got up early the next morning to continue visiting with Qin Yuci Old Zhao.
Same as yesterday, I went with cakes.
Just like yesterday, he was still ruthlessly turned away.
But this time, Lin Moran also looked away. After returning to the inn, he should eat and sleep, and he didn't take it too seriously. On the third day, he continued to visit with Qin Yuci.
Really quite perseverance.
Rao, the man who opened the door for the two felt a little helpless when he saw this, he raised his eyes to look at the two, and then said: "I've said it all, Mr. Zhao doesn't see any guests, so it's useless for you to come many times."
"It's better to go back earlier."
After finishing speaking, the door was about to close again.
But this time, Qin Yuci suddenly reached out his hand to stop him, with a dignified and generous smile, he opened his lips and said, "Yuci came three times in a row. I really want to discuss something important with Mr. Zhao, but it won't take too much time." , no matter what, I still hope that Mr. Zhao can listen to it.”
"What if it happened to be a topic he would be interested in?"
As soon as the words fell, the man looked up at her, sneered for a while and said: "Mr. Zhao has been hiding from the world for many years, and has long since stopped asking about world affairs. Why would you be interested in talking about it?"
"It's true to say so." Qin Yuci lowered his eyes in response, "But everything has contingencies, isn't it?"
She said, and then slowly lifted the pastry box in her hand to a small corner, the range was very small, and she would only notice it when she was close. Lin Moran followed her movements and looked down, and found that there was an extra piece of jade pendant in the box.
The jade pendant is emerald green, the ground is fine and smooth, not too big or small, just enough to be held in the palm of an adult woman, with intricate patterns carved on it, whether it is auspicious clouds or ganoderma lucidum, and the most conspicuous among them is a willow .
Qin Yuci smiled, and after the man saw it clearly, he closed the box again, and opened his lips and said, "I don't know if this jade pendant can be regarded as a topic of interest."
"Are you right, Mr. Zhao?"
After finishing speaking, both Lin Moran and the man were startled, and the atmosphere was silent for a while. After a while, the man suddenly changed his previous indifferent appearance, and smiled softly.
Said: "Who told you my identity?"
"No one." Qin Yuci also laughed with him, with a calm tone, "I guessed."
"I've come here three times in a row, and I've gained nothing." She said, "Mr. Zhao has lived away from the world for a long time, his appearance and mood will change, but the preferences he has persisted for many years will not change easily."
"For example, I like burning rosin. When I came here for the first time, I could smell the strong fragrance of your body, and it will be the same every time after that. Mr. Zhao likes to do things by himself, and he doesn't like others to serve him. If you say that you are just a Ordinary diners, even though they were covered with rosin, they should have dispersed quickly due to the short contact time."
"It's not like this kind of fragrance that stays with you and lasts for a long time."
She was really right.
Zhao Zhongyuan is half a hundred now, but he is still upright and neat. Few people can tell his age. Except for Qin Yuci, there are many visitors who came to visit him in the past, but no one has ever guessed his identity so carefully. .
No one would really bring something he was interested in like her.
Zhao Zhongyuan raised his eyes and stared at Qin Yuci for a while, and didn't say any more, but said: "It's windy outside, you can come in with Zhao."
I didn't expect to actually get in.
Lin Moran raised his eyes to look at Qin Yuci's side face in response, his eyes clearly reflected joy, and even whispered to her: "The princess is really amazing."
These words really touched people's hearts.
Qin Yuci looked at her with a smile, but he wasn't being modest. He just gently raised his hand to touch her head, and opened his lips to show her—
That's natural.
Mr. Zhao really loves flowers, not only outside the house, but also in the small courtyard, it makes people feel good.
The two walked forward until they were led to the main hall and sat down slowly, while the servants were ordered by Qin Yuci to guard the courtyard, still standing a few meters away.
It must be unusual for so many people to travel, so Zhao Zhongyuan didn't show any surprise when he heard Qin Yuci's identity and her intention for coming this time.
But he didn't rush to answer, but said slowly: "Where did the princess get this jade pendant?"
"I got it from a woman named Liu Niang." Qin Yuci said, since he came here sincerely, he couldn't hide anything.
Liu Niang, it really is her.
Zhao Zhongyuan looked up, was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is she doing well?"
"Good or bad." Qin Yuci responded, "Her husband passed away a few years ago, and the property left behind is not much. Naturally, Liu Niang and the three minor children should save some money."
"But there is also a good side. I once sent people to visit. Although the three children were young, they were very sensible. They helped Liu Niang to share a lot. In addition, the government allocated some money every year to help the people. Their lives It's not bad, knowing that I'm coming to visit, so I handed this jade pendant to me, hoping that I can bring it to my old friend."
"And I also asked me to bring a word to tell you that everything is fine with them. Although I haven't contacted them for so many years, but a blessed person like you must have everything going well. I have already fulfilled my old ambitions and wishes. "
After saying this, Zhao Zhongyuan was obviously stunned for a while, and after a while, the corners of his lips were raised in a self-deprecating way: "She is still as understanding and understanding as before, but Zhao is no longer what it used to be, and her ambition is even more out of the question. "
"The rest of my life is nothing more than planting flowers and admiring the moon, drinking tea and making wine."
It's really frustrating to say this.
After a long while, Qin Yuci shook his head lightly: "For a person like you, it's too early to talk about this."
"Nowadays the war in the northwest is tense, and the court is in turmoil. If Mr. Zhao is willing to go back, he will be able to solve countless urgent problems."
"Besides... Dazhao is different now." She said, her tone was quite sincere, "Mr. Zhao has seen great rivers and mountains and thousands of beautiful scenery now, so he should go back and meet the people who he guarded wholeheartedly in the past."
"They need you, and the entire Dazhao also needs you."
After a few years, Zhao Zhongyuan seldom heard anything about the court. Zhao Zhongyuan once thought that he didn't want to hear about it anymore, and he didn't want to care about it anymore, so he just lived in this kind of flower and planted it for so many years.
Until today, I met Qin Yuci and heard her talk about the court affairs again.
She said that the common people are living happily now, that the current emperor is a wise king who really works hard to govern, and that the whole Jokhang needs you.
Listening to this, a flame inexplicably lit up in my heart.
Zhao Zhongyuan was silent for a long time.
Qin Yuci saw that he was silent, so he simply stopped talking like him, everything has a process, everything that needs to be said has been said, and people should have time to think.
So time passed slowly like this, I don't know how long it has passed.
After that, the person in front of him finally moved.
Qin Yuci looked up and saw that he suddenly raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table and took a few sips. After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth.
What he said was not a real answer, but: "I have heard that Yipin sweet cakes are delicious, and now I see that they are really good, but I don't know which taste is better."
"Do you two have any recommendations?"
Although the words were not what she wanted to hear, the meaning was clearly what she wanted.
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yuci calmly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter should be done, and then glanced sideways at Lin Moran.
Seeing this, Lin Moran was immediately blessed, and hurriedly followed Zhao Zhongyuan's words: "Returning to Mr. Zhao, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and plum blossom cake are both very good, and the taste of the white jade crisp is also very good, and it is worth careful tasting."
"If you want to go into more detail, we actually found a lot of delicious food when we came here this time, but we forgot to bring it to Mr. Zhao because we came too hastily, such as the sauced duck from Zuixianlou and the peach wine brewed by Baihua. ..." she said, smiling sweetly with almond eyes, "When we see you tomorrow, I will definitely buy it for Mr. Zhao to try."
See you tomorrow.
Zhao Zhongyuan laughed lightly when he heard the words, and clearly understood the meaning of her words, but he still deliberately said: "When did I promise to meet you again tomorrow?"
"Yes." As soon as the voice fell, Lin Moran thought about it for a while, and smiled more sincerely for a while, "But Mo Ran doesn't want Mr. Zhao to miss this kind of food, and still wants to recommend it to you face to face. If you don't mind, please also Give Mo Ran this chance."
This time, not only the bright day, but even the future came out.
Zhao Zhongyuan was teased by her and chuckled, nodded for a while and said: "If that's the case, then it's settled."
Then he turned his gaze to Qin Yuci again, and slowly got up and saluted her with a sincere tone and firm eyes: "Zhao is here to thank the sage and the princess for his appreciation."
"Mr. Zhao is polite." Qin Yuci also got up immediately, raised his hand to help Zhao Zhongyuan up, and said sincerely, "You deserve it."
One sentence is worth more than a thousand words.
The matter has been settled, and it would be disturbing to stay any longer, so Qin Yuci exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Zhongyuan for a while, and then prepared to leave.
But before he could take a few steps, he was quickly stopped by Zhao Zhongyuan, who smiled and called a few people: "The road here is not easy to walk, and it is difficult to get in with sedan chairs, but it happens that some of Zhao's subordinates are here all year round. I am used to coming and going here, so let them send the princess down."
I didn't expect that there would be a sedan chair to sit on when I went back this time.
Lin Moran was overjoyed, and followed Qin Yuci into the sedan chair. The matter was finally done, and he didn't have to go back by himself. Naturally, he was much happier than when he came.
After closing his eyes and resting comfortably for a while, he suddenly remembered something, then slowly opened his eyes, looked at Qin Yuci who was sitting beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, I have a question." question."
"What's the problem?" As soon as the words fell, Qin Yuci looked over in response.
"Mo Ran wants to know, how did the princess know Liu Niang." She said, although she learned a lot through the conversation between the two, she still couldn't figure it out for a while, "After all, it sounds like she was married a long time ago. I haven't contacted Mr. Zhao for many years, so few people should know who she is."
It is true to say so, but Qin Yuci is known for being careful, so she may not know what others don't know.
"I read it from Zhao Lao's poems." Qin Yuci raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Most of Zhao Lao's poems focus on the country's people and beautiful scenery, and rarely describe emotions."
"There is only one song that mentions this old friend." She said, "I thought it was strange, so I sent someone to investigate, but I didn't expect that there was such a person as Liu Niang."
I see.
Lin Moran had read the song Qin Yuci talked about before, but he didn't think much about it. Who knew that there was such a mystery in it, so he smiled and praised her sincerely: "The princess is really amazing, Mo Ran I really admire it."
It looks like admiration, but how much truth is hidden in it, it really needs to be verified.
After a long while, Qin Yuci shook his head in response: "It's not that great, it's just that I have read more and thought more, and Mo Ranruo is the same, and I will definitely gain a lot in the future."
She said, raised her hand to curl Lin Moran's hair and played with it lightly, her tone sounded very indifferent, but there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, and she dug a hole for her with a chuckle: "It's better to start implementing it after you go back."
"I know that reading an extra hour of books every day is nothing at all."
"Moran, don't you think so?"
