Master, stay safe

Chapter 1 Apprenticeship
I was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and I was sitting in front of the bronze mirror with the pattern of Linghua branches.

My maid, Qiu Tao, is combing the bride's bun for me. This is the unique bun of the princesses of the Da'an Dynasty when they get married, and it is extraordinarily complicated.When Qiutao combed her hair for the first time, her technique was quite unfamiliar. Now I am getting married for the fifth time. Qiutao's five fingers shuttled through my hair. In just a short moment, a perfect princess wedding bun is ready. presented before my eyes.

After Qiu Tao put on the phoenix crown for me, she smiled and said: "Princess, I will definitely succeed this time. The son-in-law is in good health, he is the pillar of my dynasty, and he has no enemies. It will definitely not be like the previous few times." ...so..."

She coughed lightly, and said again: "Anyway, it will definitely work this time."

Although Qiutao is smiling, I can still see a trace of worry in her eyes.

I waved my hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, just leave it to fate." That's what I said, but I was still looking forward to it in my heart.This time, brother Huang proposed to me to marry the champion of the new department, who was born with a good-looking talent, and he was very talented.After we get married, we will surely become a loving couple.

Dong Tao on the side quickly echoed: "Princess, don't be discouraged. Your Majesty has also sent someone to guard the son-in-law. The son-in-law will definitely be able to pay homage to the princess in peace."

I looked at myself in the bronze mirror.

As a princess of the Da'an Dynasty, although my appearance is not very good, it is not bad. The abbot of Fuhua Temple said that I was a very lucky person just by looking at my face.

But since I passed twenty-eight years ago, I have been in bad luck.

My first son-in-law, just received the imperial decree of marriage, died suddenly that night.

My second son-in-law also contracted a cold within a few days after receiving the imperial decree to bestow the marriage, and became consumptive within half a month, and passed away soon after.

My third son-in-law was personally selected by me. Out of the crowd, I immediately fell in love with him from an ordinary background. Unfortunately, on the day we got married, he... He choked to death on a steamed bun.

My fourth son-in-law, that is, my last son-in-law, rarely made it to the stage of worship, but was blocked by the enemy's sword.

And now my fifth son-in-law is on his way to marry me.

I asked: "Where is the team welcoming the bride now?"

"If you go back to the princess, you have already reached the south gate, and you will be able to walk to Xuanwu Hall in half an hour." Qiu Tao replied.

The Xuanwu Hall is the palace where the emperor usually goes to court. The emperor loves me very much. My five weddings were all held in front of all civil and military officials.As I thought about it, I felt more and more that I couldn't sit still.Although Brother Huang has sent numerous guards, I am still worried.

I can't feel at ease if I don't check with my own eyes whether my son-in-law is safe or not.

I made a quick decision.

I said: "Prepare the sedan chair immediately and go to Fanyuan Pavilion."

After careful calculation, I went to Fanyuan Pavilion right now, just in time to see the wedding procession passing by.Now that the makeup is done and everything is ready, the time is just right to go directly to Xuanwu Hall.

Both Qiutao and Dongtao were taken aback, Dongtao said: "Grand...princess..."

I interrupted: "I have my own discretion."

The two servants answered "Yes".

When I got on the sedan chair, I had a vague premonition in my heart.Perhaps it was because of the sudden and bizarre deaths of the first four son-in-laws. I subconsciously felt that God had made enemies with me. If my fifth son-in-law died strangely again this time, no one would dare to be mine in the entire Da'an Dynasty. Consort.

After I boarded Fanyuan Pavilion, I waited for a moment.

Fanyuan Pavilion is facing the deepest and largest Qiubo Lake in the palace. There are willows and willows beside the lake, and there is a breeze blowing.

The sound of the bronze drum and suona was deafening, and the number one scholar riding on a black horse wore a red and black groom's robe, which made his face gentle and elegant.The more I look at it, the happier I am, the consort is safe and sound, and I am completely at ease.

Suddenly, Qiu Tao said: "Princess, there seems to be something wrong with the expression of the son-in-law."

I was startled, and immediately looked up.I saw Zhuangyuan Lang pursed his lips tightly, and his normal face suddenly turned pale. I just blinked my eyes, and Zhuangyuan Lang lifted the rein with his hand, and with a "pop", the black-tailed horse raised its front hooves, and suddenly Run wildly.

Zhuangyuan Lang seemed to be aware of my existence. When the black horse raised its hooves, his eyes met mine.

My heart can't help but feel cold.

It was obviously summer at this time, but his eyes were as cold as the cold days of the twelfth lunar month.

This is the first official meeting between me and Zhuang Yuanlang, and then he... jumped into the lake.The surrounding guards hurried down to save the man, but they couldn't hold back the Zhuangyuan Lang who wanted to die.

He struggled for a full two sticks of incense, and finally became a touch of bright red on the autumn lake. The obsidian on the hair crown merged with the sparkling waves, almost blinding my eyes.

For a while, I couldn't accept that my fifth son-in-law died in front of my eyes. I felt tightness in my chest, rolled my eyes, and passed out immediately.

It was morning when I awoke.

Brother Huang sat beside my couch with a sad expression on his face. When he saw me open my eyes, he sighed softly and comforted him: "Ah Wu, it's all my fault. Next time I will pick a better one for you, Da'an There are tens of thousands of men in the dynasty, and there is always one who can marry you."

Maybe it's because I've been in a coma, or maybe it's because of the experience of the previous four times, this time I'm also numb.

I sat up from the couch and said: "Brother Huang, after this incident, my sister has figured it out. In order not to harm my Chao Dongliang, my sister will not marry, as long as the emperor doesn't dislike my sister being in the way in the palace. "

Brother Huang said: "You are my imperial sister, how can I despise you? Don't think about it wildly, after I appease the family of the champion man, I will choose a good marriage with you."

I asked: "Brother Huang, can you find out why the number one scholar jumped into the lake for no reason?"

When the marriage was bestowed on Mingming, Brother Huang told me that the number one scholar's expression was joyful, without any reluctance.I have also asked someone to inquire quietly, and Zhuangyuan Lang didn't care about my previous four Koff's remarks at all, and he was quite cooperative with the various wedding matters prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

Brother Huang stroked his chin and said: "I have asked someone to investigate, and I think there will be an answer in the near future."

Brother Huang patted my hand, and said: "Ah Wu, don't think too much."

I forced a smile on my lips.

In fact, I didn't believe that I hit Kefu before, but this time I witnessed the appearance of Zhuangyuan Lang who wanted to die like a bewitched man, and I had to believe it.

I thought about it and said, "Brother Emperor, my sister wants to go to Fuhua Temple in a few days." I just went to ask the abbot what a lucky person is. My princess killed five son-in-laws in a row. What kind of blessing is this? ah?

Brother Huang said: "That's fine, the concubine's son-in-law just died in the palace. It's very dirty. It's good for you to stay in Fuhua Temple for a few days. I will send more guards to follow you. You can burn incense in Fuhua Temple with peace of mind." Bar."

The abbot is doing morning class. Although I am a princess, I also believe in gods and Buddhas in my heart.All the emperors of our Da'an Dynasty were Buddhist believers, and my brother was no exception. He has been on the throne for many years, and he has built countless temples. He is more active than building his own imperial tomb.

Under the influence of the emperor, I also respected the Buddhist family members very much, so I left first, so as not to disturb the abbot's morning class.

There is a release pond in Fuhua Temple, in which many bastards crawled.

Qiu Tao cleared the people around the release pool, and I stood by the pool, looking at the bastard inside.Wang Ba has heads of different sizes and is crawling lazily.

Dongtao asked me curiously: "What is the princess looking at?"

I said, "I'm looking for the bastard I released last year."

Dong Tao said: "Didn't the princess be released the year before last?"

I recovered, looked at her, and said, "Really?"

Qiutao nodded, and replied: "Yes, I also remember the year before last. Last year, because of the matter of the fourth son-in-law, the princess was sad for half a year, and she seldom came to Fuhua Temple."

I didn't take it seriously, and said: "It seems that I remembered wrongly."

My memory is not very good, and I can’t always remember things. Although this year is only Double Ten, I always feel that my memory is like a 50-[-]-year-old woman with a dizzy head. It feels like deja vu, as if I have seen it in a dream.

Thinking of this, my head is a little heavy.

I said: "You all step back, I want to be alone for a while."

Brother Huang told me this morning that Wu Shi San was found in Zhuang Yuanlang's body during the autopsy, and the attendants around Zhuang Yuan Lang also said that Zhuang Yuan Lang was often disturbed because of the previous imperial examinations, and only Wu Shi San Only then can he be at peace of mind.But if you eat too much of these five stones, people will be insane.When Zhuangyuan Lang left Zhuangyuan Mansion, he ate a lot of five stone powder, which is why he behaved so strangely when passing Qiubo Lake.

I picked up a bastard, and the bastard retracted his head immediately.

I said helplessly: "Are you also afraid that I will kill you?"

Suddenly there was a cat meowing, and I turned my head to look, but I saw a young man in brocade clothes standing under a hibiscus tree not far away at some point, holding a snow-white kitten in his arms.

The hibiscus flowers were as red as blood, but he, who was dressed in light blue, seemed to be a touch of coldness isolated from the world.

He stared at me intently.

I tilted my head slightly, feeling like I was falling ill again.

Obviously I've never seen him before, but in my heart I faintly feel that I've seen him in a dream.

He with green robe and black hair is like a casual dream in my previous life.

I smirked to myself.

Look at my memory, I am confused again, no matter how I see it, it seems like an inadvertent dream in the previous life.

I quickly recovered.

At this time, what I want to care about is not whether I have seen him, but why he appears here.All around here are my Princess Mingyu's people, the emperor is worried about my safety, every time I go out, I will be protected from the inside and outside.

I squinted my eyes and shouted: "Who are you? You are so bold!"

I have always been very dignified in the palace, who doesn't always respect me when they see me?But the young man in green robe in front of him didn't even have the slightest respect or fear on his face, instead he looked at me quietly.

As long as anyone with a discerning eye sees my posture, they will know that I am Princess Mingyu who is coming to Fuhua Temple to stay for a few days.The news that I want to come to Fuhua Temple has been known to the whole capital, and Fuhua Temple has specially closed its doors these days to refuse pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha.

Young Master Qingpao's eyes darkened slightly.

The white cat in his arms barked lazily, and looked at me quietly like its owner.

The expressions of one person and one cat are exactly the same.

Suddenly, there was a pain in my fingers, I looked down, and the bastard I was holding in my hand actually bit me.

I glared at it fiercely.

Qiutao and Dongtao hurried over.Dong Tao took Wang Ba away, looked at my red fingers, and said: "Princess, this servant has someone kill this short-sighted bastard right away."

I said: "It's okay, it's just a beast, put it back in the pool."

At this moment, I thought of the young man in green robe, and when I looked up, there was no sign of him under the hibiscus tree not far away.I couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Did you see a man in a light blue robe just now? He was standing there."

I raised my chin slightly and pointed to the hibiscus tree in front of me.

Qiu Tao was confused and said: "Men? No, I didn't see a single servant."

Dongtao was also confused and said: "Princess, the maidservant didn't see it either. There are guards here, not to mention people, not even a mosquito can fly in, and the maidservant and Qiutao are not far away. The only guard here has always been Her Highness the Princess. Unless...unless..."

She swallowed and lowered her voice.

"Unless it's not a person. Princess, could it be the son-in-law who came back to look for you? The third son-in-law likes to wear light blue robes the most."

My maidservant is good at everything, the only bad thing is that I am extremely afraid of ghosts and gods, whenever there is trouble, I will think about it, and I am often so scared that I can't sleep.

I glanced at her: "Even ghosts dare not come to the pure place of Buddhism. Besides... if it really is the son-in-law who came back, I would like to ask him why he can choke to death even after eating a steamed bun. , how could this palace fail to recognize my consorts? Stop talking nonsense."

Dongtao responded in a low voice.

I looked at the hibiscus tree again thoughtfully.

It's so weird.

Just now I clearly saw a young man in green robe, he was holding a snow-white cat in his arms, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?Is it really my illusion?

After the abbot finished his morning class, I went to the meditation room alone.

The abbot was born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his earlobes were thick, so perhaps he was more influenced by his ears and eyes, and he was somewhat similar to the Buddha.As soon as he saw me, the abbot clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha" in an unhurried tone.

I am familiar with the abbot, so I stopped being polite to him, sat down casually, and said straight to the point: "Master Zhengdao, do you remember what you said to me a few years ago? I heard that monks don't tell lies. Seriously?"

The abbot said: "Amitabha, I remember."

I said: "In the past five years, five of my concubines have died one after another, and now there are even rumors that I killed Kefu. And the master said a few years ago that I am a lucky person?" I laughed and said: " How does the master explain it?"

"Amitabha." The abbot brewed a pot of tea for me. He poured a cup and said, "Princess, please taste it. This is a cup of bitter tea."

I took a sip and said in surprise, "This tea tastes very clear, why is it called bitter tea?"

The abbot smiled and poured me another cup: "Please ask the princess to taste it again."

I said, "It's still a cup of tea."

The abbot poured another cup, and I tasted it again. Although the taste was stronger than the first two cups, it was still not bitter tea.The abbot was not in a hurry, and continued to pour tea for me, and the teapot as big as a palm was finished in less than a stick of incense.

As I drank the last cup of tea, Fang Cong tasted the bitterness of the tea.

The abbot said: "Life is like tea, Her Royal Highness's face is indeed a blessed person. It is only five years now, and the princess will not know that the old man is lying until the end?"

I understand what the abbot means.

I said: "It's just that this is not a solution. I killed five sons-in-law. I don't know if the righteous master has a way to crack it?" I laughed at myself and said: "If it can't be cracked, I can ask for it." Brother Huang let me go to Daning to get married, and I can take the order of the emperor of another country without a single soldier." Thousands of troops and horses are not as fast as me, Kefu.

The abbot said: "Please also ask the princess to extend her hand."

I obey.Seeing that the abbot frowned, I asked, "Master, what did you see from Bengong's palmistry?"

The abbot said: "Princess has often suffered from wind and cold these past few years?"

I nodded.

In the past few years, I have been extremely susceptible to colds, and I always get sick every now and then.The imperial physicians were also at a loss as to what to do with me. They prescribed various tonics and medicated diets, and tried various prescriptions, but nothing worked.

The abbot said: "Princess has too much yin energy in her body. The solution is simple. As the saying goes, yin and yang restrain each other. Princess, find a man with yang energy to suppress it."

I said: "Men with strong yang energy are all killed by this palace."

The abbot said: "It doesn't have to be a husband-in-law, the princess can recognize a brother-in-law or brother-in-law, and it is also a master."

Righteous brother and righteous brother, this will not work.Is it child's play for a royal princess to recognize a brother?It still needs to go through layers of screening by the Ministry of Etiquette, which is so complicated that I feel a headache just thinking about it, so it is more convenient to recognize a master.

After a slight pause, I said again: "The emperor's brother in this palace is the emperor of one dynasty, can the emperor's brother be regarded as having a strong yang?"

The abbot said: "Originally, it was calculated, but the princess is always by His Majesty's side. Although Your Majesty has a strong dragon spirit, it cannot resist the Yin Qi on the princess."

I said, "Then what is Yang Qi?"

The abbot said: "I have a friend who happened to be in Fuhua Temple today. He is an expert in the world and has a strange temper, but he is the most yang person I have ever seen."

After hearing this, I was overjoyed and said, "Please also introduce the abbot."

The abbot asked the novice to invite an expert from the world, but unexpectedly, it took most of the time to invite the incense stick, and the expert from the world also came late.The abbot said: "This friend of mine always sees the head and tail, so please forgive me. The princess will stay in Fuhua Temple for a few days. It's getting late now. Why don't you take a rest first, and I will introduce you to the princess tomorrow." .”

I have always been very easy-going, and I also know that people who can be superior have a bad temper.

I am so magnanimous, so naturally I won't care about him. On the contrary, I am more concerned about that mysterious green-robed young man, who is so sacred that he can appear in front of me silently under layers of guards.

When the little novice led me to the fasting room, I asked, "Are there any shaved men in light green robes in your temple?"

The little novice shook his head.

I'm baffled.

After arriving at the fasting room, I ate some fast food casually and took a rest, thinking about the young man in green robe I met today.But when I think of his desolate demeanor, I feel uncomfortable.Ever since I can remember, no one has dared to treat this princess like this. If she were kept in the palace, she would have been punished long ago.

I snorted in my heart: You are so high on airs, you have the ability to marry me, no matter if you are a human or a ghost, you will have half a foot in the Hall of Yama with the imperial decree.

In the middle of the night, I fell into a drowsy sleep when I heard a rustling sound in my ears.

I opened my eyes and almost broke out in a cold sweat.

I don't know when a person stood in front of my bed.

I like to leave a light in my room when I go to bed on weekdays. Although I am in the fasting room of Fuhua Temple today, I am no exception. I happened to see the face of the person in front of me clearly.

No matter how bad my memory is, I still recognized him as the mysterious young man in green robe today.

One of his fingers is in the skirt of my shirt, and it only needs to be pulled lightly, and my undershirt will fall apart.He was stunned on the ground, with a look of astonishment in his eyes, as if opening my eyes at this moment was unthinkable to him.

I subconsciously raised my hand and slapped him.

Immediately, a red slap was left on his left cheek, and I shouted, "Come on, there are disciples!"

But to my surprise, I yelled out my throat, but no one answered.Qiutao and Dongtao usually stay outside the door, and at this time I can clearly see two figures standing outside the vegetarian room, which are the backs of the two of them, but they seem to have not listened at all. To the same, still stand straight.

A chill ran down my spine.

I pulled the corner of the quilt tightly and hurriedly moved back until my back was close to the wall.

Although my heart was extremely flustered at this time, my face was always calm.As a princess of a country, how can she not even have the courage to be fearless in the face of danger?
I watched him warily.

At the same time, I said, "Who are you?"

Seeing him today is definitely not by accident, he must have planned it for a long time.I cleared my throat and said again: "What do you want from Ben Gong?"

Suddenly a silver light flashed out of his body and entered my body, I only felt my heart tremble.I thought he had poisoned me, but after I blinked, I didn't feel any discomfort in my body.

Young Master Qingpao said flatly: "Forget what you saw today."

I twitched the corners of my lips, looked at his face that didn't look like a flower picker, and said solemnly: "This kind of thing is not easy to forget, you madman, who sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night Zhaifang, and trying to belittle me, this kind of thing is enough to kill you. But seeing your pretty face, I don't care about you."

I let go of the quilt, lifted my chin slightly, and gave him a wink.

"Bengong is a well-known beauty in the Da'an Dynasty. You are not surprised that I am interested in Bengong. On the contrary, you can avoid many guards and break into this palace, which is also my fate with you. If you only I beg for a night of spring breeze, so what if I allow you?"

I moved forward, and Young Master Qingpao frowned immediately.

I tugged at the front of my shirt and was about to take off my undershirt when the young man in green robe disappeared before my eyes with lightning speed. With a "squeak", the window shook.That madman was like a gust of wind, coming and going as fast as he could.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the couch, the clothes on my back were wet a lot.

I knew that that person just now definitely wasn't lusting after me, that person was full of righteousness, and looked at me with pure and clear eyes, not at all like the eyes of a disciple, but more like looking for something.

That's why I got my play.

I used this to push him away.

If not, with his skill and weird ability, it would be easy to take me away.

Just now that person's hand was on my lapel, clearly looking for something.I touched the skirt of my shirt, and there was nothing else in it except two round balls.

I took a few heavy breaths, and seeing Qiutao and Dongtao outside moved, I quickly called: "You two come in."

This time the two had a reaction, and when the door opened, Qiutao asked me: "Did the princess have a nightmare?"

I asked, "Did you hear any noise in the fasting room just now?"

The two looked at each other, shook their heads in unison, and said: "When you return to the princess, the room was completely quiet just now, and the servant did not hear any sound."

It seems that the young man in green robe must have used some strange tricks. I have been a princess for so many years, and I have seen many strange people and strange things by my brother's side. I don't doubt it either.

To be able to break in silently under so many people's guards, I think it's a very good skill.If you have a chance to see him in the future, you must lobby hard.If such a talent can be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, it will be a blessing to the Da'an Dynasty.

I didn't want to talk too much with Qiutao and Dongtao, so I just said: "Light the Anshenxiang."

Unexpectedly, I saw him the next day.

He was still wearing a pale green robe with emerald green bamboo embroidered on the sleeves. It could be seen that this robe had been worn for many years, and the green bamboo embroidered with silk thread was faintly whitish.

He still had that cold and cheerless appearance, and he wasn't surprised at all when he saw me, as if what happened last night was just my dream.

I stared at him without saying a word.

He also sat calmly and did not speak.

Master Zhengdao said: "Your Highness, this is the friend I mentioned yesterday. His surname is Jun, and his name is Qingyan."

I was startled.

He...he...he turned out to be that superhuman being who can suppress the yin energy in my body?

But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it makes sense.Fuhua Temple has closed its doors, and the only people who can come in are people from Fuhua Temple except me, and Master Zhengdao said yesterday that his friend is also there.At that time, I subconsciously thought that Master Zhengdao's friend should also be a monk, so I didn't think of the two together for a while.

Master Zhengdao said again: "The man has already arrived, the old monk will leave first."

As soon as Master Zhengdao left, I squinted my eyes, and without beating around the bush, I said directly, "What exactly were you looking for in me last night?"

He showed a strange look again, just like when I opened my eyes last night.

Knowing that he is a friend of Master Zhengdao, I am no longer afraid of him.

I looked straight at him.

Jun Qingyan said: "Princess is smart, she thought of such a way to force me away last night."

I said, "Thank you."

Jun Qingyan said again: "I have heard about the princess's intentions from Master Zhengdao, and I am willing to be the princess' master."

I raised my eyebrows and said, "What does Mr. Jun want from me?"

His expression did not change, and his voice was still calm.

"The princess is somewhat similar to an old friend of mine. I just wanted to confirm it last night, but I didn't expect to wake up the princess. I am the princess' master, suppressing Yin Qi for the princess, and the princess is looking for someone for me. I am [-]% sure , the person I am looking for is in the palace."

I asked curiously, "Who is the person you are looking for?"

He said, "It's a girl."

There are so many girls in the palace, it is estimated that what Jun Qingyan is looking for is a maid.I said: "Success. I will find someone for you, and you will be my master." I squinted and smiled, and said again: "Young Master Jun has become my master, and I am an apprentice. Should the master also take your body?" The ability to teach me?"

Jun Qingyan glanced at me and said, "Naturally."

I was secretly happy, so I still earned it.Last night I yelled out my throat, but neither Dongtao nor Qiutao responded, and none of the surrounding guards rushed in. It can be seen that what Jun Qingyan used is definitely not acupuncture, it must be more powerful than acupuncture The trick, maybe with a wave of the hand like a fairy, it will form a barrier of its own.

On the same day, I performed the master-student ceremony with Jun Qingyan.

Qiu Tao brought out a jar of centuries-old wine from the palace, and I toasted Jun Qingyan three times, and the ceremony was completed.

Since then I have had a master.

I had to explain to my elder brother about the recognition of my master, so I stayed in Fuhua Temple for two days, and left with my master on the third day.Master was in the same car as me, and I asked, "Where is Master from? From Master's accent, it doesn't look like a person from the capital. Master Zhengdao said that Master is an outsider, but Master has been hidden for a long time?" "

Jun Qingyan said: "It is true that it is not from the capital, but from Lingyu, Zhoucheng."

I know about Zhoucheng, and it’s not too far from the capital, it’s only five or six days’ drive away.I smiled and said, "I'm originally from Zhoucheng. Master, you don't have to be nervous. Brother Huang loves talents, and he is a Buddhist. Master is a friend of Master Zhengdao and has such talent. If you are thirsty for talents, Brother Huang will definitely serve you." Master is the honored guest."

Jun Qingyan said: "I'm not nervous, it's...you are nervous."

I cough lightly.

I was indeed a little nervous, I had brought a friend into the palace before, it was a girl I met outside by chance, at that time, Brother Huang's complexion was not very good-looking.After observing the words and expressions, Qiu Tao said to me: "Your Highness, Your Majesty doesn't seem to like the princess bringing people into the palace."

Later, I let my friend leave, and Brother Huang's expression returned to normal.

This time I want to bring a man into the palace, and I will stay for a long time, if the emperor doesn't like it, then I should have a headache.

After being spotted by Jun Qingyan, I felt a little bit embarrassed. It happened that the carriage passed by a restaurant, and I hurriedly said, "Master, the signature dishes of this restaurant are delicious. Master, would you like to try it?"

Because I was kidnapped once when I was young, Brother Huang paid special attention to my travels.Since that time, every time I go back to the palace after a trip, Dongtao will pretend to be me and go back in Princess Mingyu's car, while I sit in an inconspicuous car at the back.

With my current attire, unless I have seen my courtiers, no one will recognize that I am the famous Princess Mingyu in the capital.On the contrary, it was Jun Qingyan beside me, whose appearance was more eye-catching.

Jun Qingyan said: "Alright."

The carriage stopped at the side door of the restaurant, Jun Qingyan and I got out of the carriage together.As expected, it was Jun Qingyan who attracted everyone's attention.Although the brocade robe is old, it can't hide his orchid and jade tree at all.

I am not harsh on women, and even quite open.

Zhou Yunyi, the pillar of my court at Dali Temple, is not only capable of writing and martial arts, but also has a good appearance. When I returned from solving the case of the headless female corpse in Minzhou a few years ago, I was drowned by a mountain of handkerchiefs and hairpins before I entered the palace to report on my duties. .

Therefore, there is a unique feature in the capital, which is the fragrance of Zhou Yunyi's daughter's keepsake.

These two things are tokens of love for the daughters of my dynasty, and I wanted to give them to my sons-in-law, but unfortunately they could no longer receive them.

Jun Qingyan really caught the eye.

On the way from the gate of the restaurant to the private room, I saw many girls taking out handkerchiefs from their sleeve pockets. When they went upstairs, one of them was a bold girl with pink cheeks and handed the handkerchief shyly. In front of Jun Qingyan.

According to the custom in the capital, the more handkerchiefs a man receives from a girl's house, the more attractive he will be, and when he reaches the age of marriage, the more matchmakers will come to his door.Some idlers even counted how many handkerchiefs Zhou Yunyi had received in total, and now I don't know how many girls who are waiting to be married are looking forward to marrying Zhou Yunyi.

The girl who handed over the handkerchief was beautiful and beautiful like a flower. I can't help but feel pity for a woman, let alone Jun Qingyan.I stopped and waited eagerly for this good show.

Unexpectedly, Jun Qingyan walked around the girl without looking sideways, turning a blind eye to the handkerchief in front of him.

The girl was taken aback, and I was also taken aback.

At this moment, Jun Qingyan paused, looked sideways at me, and asked, "Why didn't you leave?"

I glanced at the girl, her face was originally shy, but now she was pale.But she didn't give up, she tightened the handkerchief and handed it to Jun Qingyan again.I kindly reminded: "Master, Pazi."

Jun Qingyan frowned slightly.

He began to look carefully at the girl in front of him. He was very serious and focused, and there was a sense of searching in his eyes.

The blush on the pale girl's face just now is recovering bit by bit, and I can even see the base of her ears glowing red quietly.

I watched with gusto from the sidelines, thinking that the men in this world really never refuse girls who throw themselves into their arms, even those who seem aloof and indifferent.

Jun Qingyan stretched out his hand, and he took the handkerchief from the girl's hand.

However, to my surprise, at the same time, Jun Qingyan took out a sling of money from the skirt with one hand, put it in the girl's hand before he could take it back, and said with a blank face: "The world is hard, you come out to sell handkerchiefs." Money is not easy, and money is not needed.”

Jun Qingyan said to me, "Let's go."

I swallowed hard.

Jun Qingyan asked: "What's wrong?"

I regained my senses and said: "No, Master...you are so generous." I glanced at the girl quietly, her beautiful eyes were already full of tears, but Jun Qingyan, who was puzzled, had already stepped forward.

After entering the private room, the shopkeeper came forward with a nod and bowed his head, and said with a smile, "Miss Rong is the same as usual?"

I especially love the dishes of this restaurant, so when I have time to go out of the palace, I always come to this restaurant to sit for a while, eat a few small dishes, and taste a pot of fine wine, and I spend extraordinarily generously. The shopkeeper also knows me.It's just that he doesn't know my real identity, I reckon he regards me as the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital.

I asked, "Master, is there anything you don't eat?"

Jun Qingyan said: "You can do whatever you want."

I nodded to the shopkeeper and said, "As usual."

After the shopkeeper left, only Jun Qingyan and I were left in the private room, and Qiu Tao was waiting outside the door.The structure of this restaurant is peculiar, the window of the private room is not facing the outside, but the middle of the restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant has invited several storytellers, and as long as the restaurant is not closed, there will always be a storyteller holding a gavel and talking endlessly.

I introduced to Jun Qingyan: "Master must have rarely come to the capital. The business of this restaurant is very good. One of the reasons is that their storyteller has a good tongue and the words are very good. It is attractive, and the guests who come here often don’t want to leave after sitting down, so this restaurant is often full of people, and ordinary people can only stand if they come late.”

I happened to be sitting by the window and pushed the window open.

I squinted, and the storyteller was spitting out his mouth, and everyone below listened with gusto.When I listened, I almost couldn't hold back my old face.

What a crime.

Even if the name of the story is changed and the place of the story is changed, where else in the world can I find another woman who can kill five husbands?Especially when it came to the fifth husband-in-law hanged himself, the people below all showed meaningful expressions, and I heard the people in the private room next door say: "I heard that the autumn lake in the palace is not deep, how can you drown?" people?"

Pooh!How do ordinary people know whether the lake in the palace is deep or not!False rumors!

I hastened to close the window.

I coughed lightly, and said, "It's just a script, master just listen to it, don't take it seriously."

Jun Qingyan said: "I didn't take it seriously, but you did."

I was stunned, and Jun Qingyan said lightly: "If you don't take it to heart, it's nothing but nonsense to let other people say anything. Since I have accepted you as a disciple, I will definitely do my best to suppress it for you. Shame."

After listening to it, I suddenly realized that this master is actually quite good, although there was a little misunderstanding between the two of us.

"Thank you, Master, for teaching me."

Thinking of that night, I subconsciously glanced at his profile.

I was in a panic that day, and I used all my strength. I still remember that a red slap immediately appeared on his handsome face.I suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Master doesn't know something, our capital is a little different from Zhoucheng, the girl handing out the handkerchief is not to sell the handkerchief, but to express her admiration for the man."

I couldn't help laughing when I thought of the stunned look of everyone when Jun Qingyan took out a sling of money just now.

Jun Qingyan didn't react when he heard it, his expression was still calm, and he didn't even reply.

Ordinary people would dare to talk to me like this, but he is my master and a friend of Master Zhengdao, and he is going to teach me all his abilities, in terms of these aspects, I don't care.

Just at this time, the shopkeeper and the waiter brought up the dishes.

Every dish is exquisitely prepared and tastes delicious.I poured Jun Qingyan a glass of Huadiao wine and said, "Master, the Huadiao wine here has a very strong aroma. Although the taste is spicy, it has an endless aftertaste. The wine in the palace may not be comparable to the wine here."

I raised my neck and drank it boldly. When the wine glass fell, I found that Jun Qingyan's wine glass was not missing a single drop.

I was surprised and said: "Master doesn't drink alcohol?"

Jun Qingyan said: "It's not good to drink as a teacher."

He held the wine glass in his hand, but what he drank was the clearest water.I thought that most of the world's experts have such a temper, so I didn't think much about it.I am a person who loves meat and hates meat. I lived in Fuhua Temple for a few days, and eating vegetarian food almost made me sick.

Now there are all kinds of meat in front of me, and I started to eat after I picked up my chopsticks.

It's strange to say that when I was young, I was raised by the first emperor and then the emperor's brother. My childhood playmates, and today's friends in the boudoir, no one is as addicted to meat as I am. Then he swallowed his saliva involuntarily, like someone who has been hungry for seven or eight days.

Brother Huang also made fun of me because of this: "Ah Wu, you must have been a beggar who could not keep up with three meals in your previous life, so in this life, you will miss the taste of meat when you are reborn as a princess."

I was not convinced after hearing this, and I thought about not eating meat for a few days, but after just one meal, I obediently surrendered.It doesn't matter whether it's a beggar or anything else, the key is to have meat to eat.

After finishing most of the dishes in a whirlwind, we remembered that there was Jun Qingyan in front of me.

As soon as I come across something to eat, I don't care much about the people and things around me.

I coughed heavily, looked at Jun Qingyan's bowl, and said, "Master, won't you eat?" After a pause, I said again: "Master, you don't have to care about the rules. Now that I have you as my teacher, I will respect you." As an elder. Master doesn't need to care about my identity."

Bengong is easy to get along with, and he doesn't put on airs.

Jun Qingyan said, "I'm not hungry."

I said, "Could it be that these foods don't suit Master's taste?"

Jun Qingyan said again: "I'm not hungry as a teacher."

It doesn't matter if I don't eat it, I can eat it all by myself anyway.I stuffed a piece of pork belly into my mouth, and drank another half cup of Huadiao. After swallowing it, I really felt that if life doesn’t taste like meat, how should I live.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

I said, "Come in."

The person who came was the waiter in the restaurant, but he was a bit unfamiliar, not the waiter who served the dishes before.He looked timid and timid, quite a bit like a courtier seeing me.

All the courtiers in the hall are terrified of me now, for fear that I will get married again. Since the death of my third son-in-law, all the better-looking and talented sons of officials in the capital have been afraid of me. Marry a wife, and you can often see red things in Beijing. It is not unusual for seven or eight wedding sedan chairs to collide with each other on auspicious days.

Xiaoer said: "This... This is a plate of melons and fruits that our shopkeeper gave the girl."

When I saw it, it was a plate of crystal grapes, one of my favorite fruits.This shopkeeper has a heart, and he has figured out my preferences.I smiled and said: "Thank you for me, the shopkeeper."

Jun Qingyan suddenly asked, "Are you new here?"

Xiaoer said: "Yes."

Jun Qingyan examined him, and said after a long time, "You can step back."

After Xiao Er left, I asked in amazement, "Why did Master just ask that?" Just now Jun Qingyan looked at Xiao Er, just like a prisoner being interrogated in Dali Temple.I have watched Zhou Yunyi's trial, his eyes and expression are exactly the same as Jun Qingyan's.

Jun Qingyan said: "Just a casual question."

I picked up a grape and put it into my mouth. I just took a bite and suddenly felt something strange.I spit it out quickly, but saw a note in the grape meat.I took a closer look and saw that there were only eight characters on the note - My Fair Lady and Gentleman is so good.

My heart tightened.

What I could recognize was the handwriting of my third son-in-law who choked to death on a steamed bun.
