After wearing lotus essence

Chapter 43 Day 43

On the day when he set off from the East Palace, Rong Mu really saw the background of a great dynasty.

Changping Street is the main street in Kyoto. Not only people from the Eastern Palace live on this street, but also the great officials and dignitaries of the dynasty. It can be said that in this area of ​​the capital of the great merchants, three officials can be trampled to death with one step.

Today everyone is bright and beautiful, there are many princes and daughters of aristocratic families, and you can't see the end of the carriage just pulling the sundries.

When Shang Cizhou was the emperor, he didn't do anything easily. The Taishan hunt in June every year was one of the few major events that he would personally participate in with the people. Besides, I am afraid that the emperor can only be seen on the battlefield. Mercedes-Benz scene.

Rong Mu took Lianyu with him, and the master and servant stood in front of the gate of the East Palace, like a little earth flower bringing a little earth fish into the city. Rong Mu himself forgot what he had experienced before he was eight years old. Fast-forwarded to the status of a modern civilian after the age of [-], and Lianyu was even more pitiful. For many years, the gold, silver and jewelry given to him by the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha that day were also the extra money this little fish went out to earn.

Rong Mu held his small clothes bag and stood behind the gate of the East Palace: "Lianyu, can it be that the two of us can just pack lightly and go to the wild pool with all our heart?" He seemed to be doing it to show off in front of Shang Cizhou ah.

Lianyu blinked her eyes, then revealed her head: "Master, it seems like this."

Rong Mu scratched his hair: "How much money Shang Cizhou has saved all these years, the people here are so rich, he must be richer......"

Lianyu whispered: "I heard that the emperor has five or six treasuries alone, all of which are in the royal bank on the outskirts of Beijing, and are guarded by troops day and night."

Rong Mu took a slight breath: "Shang Cizhou is really so rich!"

So he used to think that being an emperor was boring and would not waste money, right? !

Lianyu nodded heavily: "So master, you should eat and drink, you should eat and drink, you need to eat and drink, the best! Don't just eat dew all day, it's too much, Shang Cizhou, save money! "

Rong Mu: "..."

Blame me for not growing into a gold swallowing beast.

"I think he disappeared early in the morning, and I don't know what he was doing..." Rong Mu was muttering, when he was knocked on the back, and when he turned around, the first thing he saw was a piece of luxurious gold. Silk.

The gold threads were pinched extremely finely, and they were symmetrically arranged on the black robe, spiraling up to the neckline, and the buttons on the neckline were made of amber gemstones, each of which was round and luxurious, extremely beautiful.

Rong Mu's watching eyes moved, and he swallowed an indecent word in his mouth for a while.

... This tyrant usually doesn't show his face, but he is really rich at critical moments! !

Shang Cizhou was holding something in his hand, like a short gauze gown, he looked at Rong Mu's dull face, and reached out to touch the tip of the boy's handsome nose.

"Why are you in a daze? Going out to play with you, Gu has the heart to do these things, Ting Zhi, look——" Shang Cizhou opened the clothes in his hand and handed them to Rong Mu, "Gu specially prepared them for you, put them on." have a look."

Rong Mu swallowed, took his hand and asked, "What is this? It feels cool."

Shang Cizhou said: "It's ice silk silkworm clothing. This kind of silkworm only lives on cold islands overseas. This is a new tribute this year. It's interesting to look at alone, so I'll wear it for you. It happens to be hot in early summer."

Shang Cizhou said lightly, as soon as Rong Mu took the clothes, he felt a sense of coolness, not to mention that it was embroidered with exquisite flower-shaped beasts, and the cuffs were flying with ice butterflies. up.

"You, why do you ask others to pay you protection fees?" Rong Mu looked at him, "Islands overseas, how do you know there are islands overseas?" Generally, people in this era only know this place in front of them!

Shang Cizhou's brows moved slightly: "When I went out to fight, I accidentally walked to the seaside, and wondered if there were really fairy mountains on the sea, so I built a shipbuilding mansion along the coast. The seaside craftsmen are good at building ships. Out to sea."

Rong Mu took a breath.

This map can no longer stop Shang Cizhou, can it?

I only heard the other party continue: "After a few days of traveling, I saw a small island. The people on the island lived on fishing all day long. They were very short. They wanted to come back when they saw that there was nothing to hunt. As a result, the people there had no ancestors. After seeing the soldiers and horses outside the island, I was scared out of my wits, and insisted on bringing up all the good things. After that, I would like to pay tribute to my country every year. Ice silk silkworm clothes are just one of them. If Tingzhi likes it, Gu Gai will take you to visit the Treasure Building of the Imperial Palace."

Rong Mu smiled weakly: "I thought you were rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich."

Shang Cizhou liked to see this man's interesting expression, he said in a low voice: "A few years ago, I only knew how to collect money, and when I got it back, I piled it all together. Interesting... Ting Zhi, do you like gold? Or gems?"

Rong Mu gasped, and covered the emperor's mouth with one hand: "If you go on like this, I will really be infamous forever!"

Shang Cizhou's eyes moved, his eyelids lowered to look at the hand covering him, and he stopped talking.

Rong Mu felt his palms warm and soft, and he realized what he had done. He withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and dragged Lianyu to see Bi Jiangxue's carriage without saying a word. .

Shang Cizhou stood on the spot for a long while before silently hooking his lips.

"It's really easy to coax, and easy to feed..."

A guard came forward, "Your Majesty, the lotus vat you ordered has been placed. My subordinates have padded the four corners with cotton, and the car floor has been paved with three layers. I also asked the craftsman to make it anti-vibration. It is sure to be safe."

Shang Cizhou took a look at him: "Did he go over to see it just now?"

The guards were from the East Palace, and at this moment he said cleverly: "Yes, I am very pleased and satisfied to see Young Master Rong's face."

Shang Cizhou nodded, without asking any further questions, he walked out of the East Palace.

Rong Mu walked around outside, it was noisy and crowded in front of Biejia's mansion, but orderly in front of Donggong gate, the distance between the high-door mansions in Kyoto is extremely far, standing on one side can't see what the people on the other side look like, just look like A small lump of fuzz.

Because Shang Cizhou was here, there was a circle of Jingdu guards on duty around the perimeter.

Rong Mu pulled Lianyu, and finally found the four-horse carriage that Lang Xi mentioned at the very end, and saw that Shang Cizhou was already sitting inside waiting for him.

Lianyu snorted softly, but also knew that she couldn't do anything in front of Rong Mu, so she reluctantly went to the back. Rong Mu stepped forward, looked at the higher and larger shaft of the carriage, and put his hands on it Jumped a bit...then didn't go up.

Shang Cizhou had long hair and high bunches, and looked at him leisurely: "Ting Zhi, can't you come up?"

Rong Mu: "..."

"My legs are not short!" It's because the emperor's car is too high!

Shang Ci Zhou pretended to be innocent: "Gu didn't say that."

He glanced outside, and the accompanying guards took down the small wooden stool that the emperor didn't use at all.

The corner of the guard's mouth twitched like he was holding back a smile, Rong Mu took a deep breath, stepped on the stool and climbed into the emperor's carriage.

Almost as soon as he got up, someone grabbed his wrist, and Shang Cizhou pulled Rong Mu over, causing him to stagger in the car.

"Today's travel is such a specification. Gu's car is the largest, and the rest of the cars can only go behind Gu. Ting Zhi, do you like this kind of car?"

Rong Mu sat firmly on his buttocks, and then said with a serious handsome face: "This is very good, it fits the temperament of a king of a country."

Shang Cizhou nodded, but said: "But it's not the most expensive, do you know what is the most expensive carriage of my Dashang?"

Rong Mu shook his head and looked at him: "I know what this is for, what does it have to do with me." Now his heart is flying, and he only talks about the legendary natural wild pond.

Shang Cizhou took his hand, tidied up the unworn ice silk silk clothes for him, and then slowly said: "Did Gu tell you that Gu's mother and queen were the prostitutes of Fuguo Gong's family?" When I was married to the first emperor, red make-up and golden barley were all over the ground, and the Fuguo government's running water banquet was held for seven days. On the wedding day of the emperor and empress, the chariots and eight horses pulled side by side.

Rong Mu's head tightened: "...Why are you telling me these things, I'm not married."

Shang Cizhou smiled and said: "Gu is just telling Ting Zhi first, it is inevitable that you will use it someday."

How can he use it? If he is not with Shang Cizhou in this life, how can he use this specification-wait a minute, the emperor is playing word games with him again to take advantage of him.

Rong Mu raised his arms, turned his eyes sideways and said: "Your Majesty should focus on state affairs, and don't think about these messy things all day."

Shang Cizhou nodded, and said with a natural expression: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Only then did Rong Mu let out a slight breath, and the sound of a whip being whipped came from outside the car. Rong Mu became curious, so he leaned on the window and opened a corner to have a look. , this trip is a national matter, so these big business guards with long waists and long legs are all neatly dressed, the black armored guards have changed into calm and domineering armor, and the long feather guards wear red feathers on the brim of their helmets to show their identity. feather.

Rong Mu glanced at it and whispered "Wow".

It's like watching the national guard of honor up close. Those who can serve in front of the emperor are not ugly. Coupled with a tall horse, Rong Mu's face is blurred by his heroic and handsome temperament.

A low, warm voice came from next to my ear: "Tingzhi, is it pretty?"

Rong Mu nodded: "It's really handsome."

After he finished speaking, he came to his senses, turned his head abruptly, and saw the emperor's more handsome face was very close to him.

Shang Cizhou squinted his eyes slightly to look at him: "It's rare for Gu to dress up formally today, but Ting Zhi doesn't praise Gu, but instead keeps his eyes on a bunch of guards, Gu jealous."

Rong Mu pushed his shoulder away: "Eat less vinegar, eat more food, it's good for your health."

Shang Cizhou snorted: "What's so interesting about a group of men? When we get to the palace, we will arrange a night banquet in the palace. At that time, we will ask that Xiyue singer to dance for you."

Rong Mu's ears moved: "Xiyue?"

Shang Cizhou pulled him away from the window, and then said: "This time Taishan is hunted, the great prince Earle from the west will come, and I heard from Li Suichuan that he brought more than a dozen foreign singers to present to Gu. "

Rong Mu frowned: "To you?"

Shang Cizhou looked closely at his face: "Yes, Ting Zhi is jealous?"

Rong Mu patted the soft cushion angrily: "Crazy, you don't like women, isn't this delaying other girls!"

Shang Cizhou: "..."

"Tingzhi has nothing else to say?"

Rong Mu looked upright: "I do, let people go back to the country as soon as they finish singing and dancing. The big businessmen in the west are fighting fiercely. Who would want to go all the way to the enemy's country to dance, and there is nothing wrong with their brains."

Shang Cizhou was stunned at first, and then his eyes couldn't help but smile: "Ting Zhi is really a bodhisattva, following Ting Zhi, I just feel that I may be able to wash away the name of this tyrant."

Rong Mu looked at him: "Then how did you deal with it before?"

Shang Cizhou smiled and said: "Those who keep their own place will be sent to the aristocratic family as slaves, and those who have bad intentions will be killed on the spot."

Rong Mu blinked his eyes: "Ah Zhou, let's discuss something. Next time when we talk about murder, can we not smile, it's weird."

Shang Cizhou paused: "Okay, I'll try my best, I just think it's interesting."

With complicated eyes, Rong Mu stretched out his finger and pointed at the emperor's heart: "Find something else interesting to do, killing evil is too much, and it's not good for you."

Only then did Shang Cizhou calm down slightly, and he said after a while: "Ting Zhi cares about Gu, so Gu won't be upset and kill someone."

Rong Mu frowned and said, "I've never heard that people from Xiyue are coming. Besides Xiyue, are there people from other countries? You just want to take advantage of this Taishan night banquet and hold the welcome banquet directly." Do it too?"

"clever."

Hearing Shang Cizhou's words, Rong Mu couldn't help saying: "Are you really planning to do this?"

Shang Cizhou: "Having too many royal banquets wastes people's money and wastes money. It's a good deal to spend the same money on two major events. This time, besides Xiyue Kingdom, there is also a princess from Nandai Kingdom coming."

Rong Mu tilted his head: "The... princess of Nandai Kingdom?"

Shang Cizhou deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Exactly, the princess is about ten years old. She looks like a woman, but in fact she has a strange power. She is often accompanied by a strange beast named Huanhuanu. It is said that she can eat three pavilion branches in one go. Such a young man."

Rong Mu: "..."

No.

Shang Cizhou was about to silence his mouth at every turn, and Lianyu's ferocity was ready to move, and here came another princess who raised beasts and cannibalized people——

How did he, a kind and delicate flower, get himself into such an environment full of villains?
