The emperor was still very familiar with Guo Mingyi. After all, he was a minister of the Imperial Academy and a third-grade official.
As for Guo Jun, this was indeed the first time he saw him today.
Of course, even if I have seen it before, I have no impression.
"My cousin-in-law's mother, Mrs. Guo, is famous in Beijing for her belief in ghosts and gods. She also likes to read some Taoist classics and then... figure out some divination techniques that she thinks are good. She likes it best. The lot was drawn, and the lot was drawn by herself, and the signature on it was also written by herself. It was very casual, but she believed in it..." Meng Shu told the emperor about the Guo family, and the emperor was stunned. Stunned for a moment.
It turns out there are still such people in the world.
Guo Mingyi is considered a great scholar of his generation, and he has a wife with such a "different" style of conduct. No wonder he is young, looks very old, and has a lot of white hair.
The emperor leaned close to Meng Shu's ear and was about to speak, but Meng Shu pulled him and hid in the crowd.
"What's wrong?" the emperor asked quickly.
"There are two girls over there. One is wearing a light cyan cloak, and the other is wearing a purple tang-colored cloak. Do you see it?" Meng Shu pointed the direction to the emperor and lowered her voice: "The girl in green is from the Ministry of Punishment. The second daughter of the servant’s family is named Liu Qingqing, and the girl beside her is Ma Yuelin, the eldest daughter of the commander of the Xiaoqi Camp.”
Of course the emperor didn't know them.
The woman he had the most contact with was Meng Shu.
"That Ma Yuelin is good at kung fu and is very smart. After I taught Tuoba Kelan a lesson on the street last time, the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital became very enthusiastic when they saw me, especially these two - Miss Liu and Miss Ma, they even invited me to their house for a flower-viewing party. One time, I took Qingdai out, and Miss Ma recognized me just by looking at my back, so we have to stay away from her."
As soon as Meng Shu finished speaking, the emperor couldn't help but laugh.
His queen is really powerful, even the noble ladies in the capital admire her very much.
If he hadn't paid attention to her all the time, how could he have recognized someone just by looking at their back?
"She turned her head!" Meng Shu saw Ma Yuelin suddenly turning her head, and she quickly turned around as well.
The emperor took her in his arms and wrapped her in his fox fur cloak.
"Don't be afraid, she can't see you!" The emperor lowered his head and said softly.
The feeling of having warm nephrite in my arms is really good!
Meng Shu: "..."
She suspected that the emperor was taking advantage of others' danger, but unfortunately there was no evidence.
There was a faint fragrance on his clothes, the smell of sandalwood.
Just as Meng Shu was about to push him away, the emperor's voice came to her ears: "That horse girl is here."
Meng Shu didn't dare to move immediately after hearing this.
She really didn't want to be recognized.
Because it’s so hard to explain.
Without an explanation, people would definitely think that she had cuckolded the emperor.
When she heard the emperor's laughter, Meng Shu realized that she had been tricked.
When she pushed the emperor away and looked towards Western Zhou Dynasty, there was no sign of Liu Qingqing and Ma Yuelin.
"You are the king of a country, and yet you lie to others!" Meng Shu glared at the emperor and lowered his voice.
"It's just this once, it won't happen next time!" The emperor coughed lightly.
Meng Shu didn't believe it.
"Let's go this way. There are fewer people there!" The emperor pointed to the left and led Meng Shu over.
"You said, the two of them are ladies. They just have an appointment to go out tonight. Why do they come to the Emerald Lake?" Meng Shu really couldn't figure it out.
Logically speaking, unmarried ladies like them should be with their families when they go out today.
As a result, these two girls invited them to go out together, which was really unreasonable.
What's more, they also go to the Emerald Lake where ordinary people like to come.
"Maybe it's a bit boring to go outside the palace every year and grab copper coins every year to win the prize, so I came here for a walk." The emperor laughed.
He was just guessing.
Meng Shu felt it made sense and nodded lightly.
In fact, the emperor's guess was quite accurate.
The reason Liu Qingqing and Ma Yuelin appeared here was because they felt a little tired of going outside the palace every year, so they changed places.
Their mothers had a good personal relationship, and they were close friends, so they came over together.
"Shu'er, are you hungry?" The emperor took Meng Shu to a place with few people, looked at the stall not far away, and meant something.
"Today is New Year's Eve, and the dinner is very sumptuous. There are many of my favorite dishes, and I'm almost full. I ate candied haws and peanut cakes not long ago, but I'm not hungry now!" Meng Shu deliberately patted herself. belly, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
She was sure that the emperor must be hungry, so he asked her deliberately.
Then of course she would say she wasn't hungry anymore and see if he was in a hurry.
This person is really just going to buy food when she is hungry. Why do you ask her?
Did he stop eating because she said she wasn't hungry?
But having said that, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he is the most noble person in the world. The stalls on the street sell extremely simple food, and Meng Shu has paid attention to them before.
There are glutinous rice balls, wontons, meatloaf and more.
Let’s not talk about whether the food tastes good or not. What if it is not clean and causes stomach upset after eating it?
"It's getting dark. There will be a fireworks show later. We'll go back after watching it," Meng Shu said.
The emperor nodded.
He was actually a little hungry.
Tonight's New Year's Eve palace banquet, the emperor was busy watching the excitement. In addition, he was not hungry at that time, so he didn't eat much.
As an emperor, whoever is hungry cannot starve him.
The imperial dining room had a special place to prepare meals for the emperor. As long as the emperor wanted to eat, even in the middle of the night, something would be delivered to him in time.
Because of this, the emperor never went hungry.
When he was leaving the palace today, Wang Fusheng brought a food box and asked the emperor to take it with him.
It contained the snacks that the emperor liked to eat on weekdays.
However, the emperor felt that when he left the palace disguised as a guard, he should be more cautious and not be discovered. If he took a food box out of the palace, the target would be bigger.
Besides, as long as you have money, are you still worried about not having enough to eat?
Facts have proved that you may not dare to eat food from outside.
"There is a noodle shop not far from here. Mr. Su, would you like to eat?" Meng Shu suddenly turned around and asked.
The emperor was slightly startled.
"I'm hungry and want to eat the beef noodles from that restaurant. The second sister said that there is a noodle restaurant by the Emerald Lake. The beef noodles in it are very delicious. If you add some of their pickled vegetables and radishes, it will be even better. Unfortunately, I don't have a chance to taste it, Mr. Su, would you like to go with me?" Meng Shu asked again.
"In that case..." The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Let's go together!"
It turns out that this girl saw that he was hungry and was teasing him with the song before.
Meng Shu couldn't remember the name of that noodle shop because she had seen it before. She had a good memory and found it based on her memory.
When they arrived, the place was already ready to close.
