Chapter 126 Minglan and Yu Yanran
“Oh?” Zhao Xing suddenly had an idea when he heard this and smiled: “Why don’t the four of you group up and play a game in the afternoon, so that I can enjoy it?”
“ If His Highness has such an elegant intention, of course he can." Zhang Guifen said.
Zhang Guifen agreed, and Yu Yanran and others naturally had no right to object.
“Then it’s settled!” Zhao Xing said.
Because of the arrival of Zhao Xing, the atmosphere that had been somewhat relaxed among the few people became tense again.
The main thing is Ru Lan and Ming Lan. Zhang Guifen is very natural when facing Zhao Xing now. Yu Yanran has been sleeping in the same bed for a few days, which is almost the same.
Only Ru Lan and Ming Lan met Zhao Xing for the second time, and they were careful when speaking, for fear of making him unhappy.
This situation cannot be alleviated by a few words. Just get along slowly in the future.
Everyone was respectful to him at first, but Zhao Xing still enjoyed the feeling of being the only one in the world.
But as time passed, he felt very lonely.
With his status, there is actually no need to waste so much thought on a few people, including Zhang Guifen.
But he is a human being after all. No one wants to find a wooden person without emotions, and no man wants to be a simple pile driver.
Like Gu Tingye, Sheng Changbai and the others, Zhao Xing actually wanted to be friends, but no matter how comfortable they were in front of him, they always abided by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
He doesn't want the women around him to be like this, otherwise he won't be happy even if he has the world.
Speaking of which, it is indeed a bit pretentious.
While chatting, the food was served, as well as a pot of fruit wine.
The shochu of the Song Dynasty was only a dozen degrees at most. This kind of fruit wine had almost no alcohol content. It was almost the same as the fruit drinks of later generations, and it was not harmful to the body.
"I'll let you make some at will. See if you like it. If you don't like it, let me make some again." After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he moved his chopsticks first.
“Eat all of them, Your Highness is very easy-going, don’t be formal.” Zhang Guifen said with a smile.
This was mainly said to Rulan and Minglan.
Ru Lan and Minglan saw several people using their chopsticks, so they also started eating with their chopsticks.
But they are very elegant when eating food, and they use their sleeves to cover it when they put it in their mouths.
“Ding~”
Needless to say, the taste of the dishes cooked by the imperial chef goes without saying. The two of them were savoring the dishes carefully when they suddenly heard the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks.
Looking for the voice, I saw that it was actually Zhao Xing.
Seeing Zhao Xing eating, both of them were stunned.
When they were seven or eight years old, they learned etiquette from Mrs. Sheng.
According to the requirements of Mrs. Sheng, not only must no chewing sounds be made while eating, but no sounds like the clashing of bowls and chopsticks can be made.
You have to chew carefully and eat slowly. In short, there are a lot of rules.
I don't know how many slaps the two of them had received over the years, but they still behaved very elegantly while eating.
It stands to reason that as a prince, Zhao Xing's posture and manners should be very standard.
However, although Zhao Xing could not be said to be gobbling up food at this time, he did not have any manners either.
One of Zhang Guifen and Yu Yanran served him food, and the other wiped his mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.
Zhao Xing was enjoying the service of Zhang Guifen and Yu Yanran. When he looked up, he saw Ru Lan and Ming Lan standing there stunned, and said, "Why don't you eat? Is it not to your liking?"
"No...no."
The two of them shook their heads quickly and said: "The food is delicious."
"If it's delicious, eat more." Zhao Xing smiled and lowered his head to eat again. stand up.
Rulan and Minglan looked at Zhao Xing's eating appearance, and their nervous hearts instantly relaxed.
In their hearts, Zhao Xing is superior.
At this time, they discovered that Zhao Xing was not so superior.
Seeing that Zhang Guifen and Yu Yanran were always busy serving him, Zhao Xing said, "You guys can eat too, don't worry about me."
After the meal, after resting for a while, Zhao Xing let him go Zhang Guifen and others were taken to take a nap.
As a royal villa, Jinmingchi naturally has a place to live.
Because Zhang Guifen was there, Zhao Xing couldn't let Yu Yanran sleep with him. However, he came to the room and lay on the bed for a while, but couldn't fall asleep.
So he sent someone to call Yu Yanran over.
While holding Yu Yanran's soft body and smelling the fragrance of her body, Zhao Xing quickly fell asleep.
Before his consciousness disappeared, Zhao Xing was still sighing that it was really difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
......"Zhong Huai, Yuan Ruo, please don't leave me alone today!"
Zhao Xing was riding Chai Feng, and beside him was Zhang Guifen, who was riding Ru Huo.
It took him three years of feeding and cultivating Zhui Feng to truly conquer her.
Zhao Xing hasn't ridden it for a while. At this time, it is stepping on the spot excitedly and can't wait to run wildly.
"Your Highness, how dare I dare." Gu Tingye said with a bitter face.
Last time, Zhao Xing got scolded by Zhao Xing.
"Okay, let's begin. If you win, Gu and Miss Zhang will be rewarded heavily. If you lose, go to the East Palace to help Gu clean the horse pen." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
"Your Highness, can you give me a jar of wine?" Gu Tingye said with his eyes shining.
Although Zhao Xing did not sell distilled liquor in the Song Dynasty, he would send a batch to his father every once in a while.
When there are banquets to entertain ministers during festivals, my father will take out some.
Therefore, palace jade liquid is very famous among the powerful.
However, most people think that this wine is the royal wine of the palace, and the output is very low.
Few people know that this wine is related to Zhao Xing.
And Gu Tingye is one of them.
"Haha, if you can win against me, I will give you two rewards!" Zhao Xing said nonchalantly.
"Your Highness, this is what you said." Gu Tingye was full of fighting spirit.
Sheng Changwu temporarily served as the server, came to the center of the court, and threw the ball into the sky with all his strength.
“Drive!”
The four of them shouted in unison, gently squeezing the horse’s belly with their legs.
The flattery under the crotch flew away like an arrow from the string.
…………
"Sister Yanran, has Your Highness always been like this?" Minglan said as she looked at Zhao Xing, who was galloping in the field with a smile on his face.
"Well, His Highness likes to play very much, but he is not the type to lose his mind by playing with things. In His Highness's words, it is relaxation in his spare time." Yu Yanran said with a smile.
"Oh." Minglan nodded.
"That's right." Yu Yanran pulled Minglan and whispered: "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to marry the fifth girl into the East Palace?"
Seeing Minglan follow When she came to Jinmingchi, Yu Yanran was very surprised.
The two of them have been good friends for many years and are very good friends, but Minglan has never told her about this.
She only found out after asking Zhao Xing on the way.
“At that time, my grandmother and the others just had this idea and were not sure about it,” Minglan said.
"That's it." Yu Yanran nodded and said with a smile: "This way we will never be separated."
"Sister Yanran, how are you doing in the East Palace? "Minglan hesitated and asked softly.
"It's good. I was very nervous when I first went there, worried about this and that. His Highness treated me very well and made me completely relaxed." Yu Yanran said with a smile.
“But this is a concubine after all.”
Minglan could naturally see that the smile on Yu Yanran’s face was from the bottom of her heart, but regardless of whether she was a prince’s concubine or an official’s concubine, she was still concubine.
It’s just that she is much more noble than an ordinary concubine.
Although Minglan was very grateful to Zhao Xing, because of Zhao Xing, her younger brother and she had a much easier life in the Sheng family.
But because of her mother-in-law's condition, she was very reluctant to be a concubine.
Although she had known for a long time that she would marry into the palace, Mrs. Sheng told her that it was not certain, and she still had hope in her heart.
But since Zhao Xing went to the Sheng family last time, this matter has been completely settled.
She felt very uncomfortable in the first few days and was always distracted.
If she hadn't been reluctant to leave her grandmother, mother and brother, she would have thought of committing suicide.
Hearing this, Yu Yanran looked at Minglan and said sternly: "Minglan, I'm not as smart as you, but I think it's good to be a wife or a concubine. As long as you treat me well, you can live a comfortable life. Even if you are a legal wife, you can't do anything wrong. People don't have to live a lifetime. "
Yu Yanran has a weak temperament and lacks independent opinions. She is not that persistent about whether she is a wife or a concubine.
Of course, this is also related to Zhao Xing’s identity.
