As the hexagram says, everything is auspicious and the journey is safe. The enhanced water nature is completely useless and I didn’t even encounter rain. The group arrived in Yujing so smoothly in a month.

The boat was abandoned and the willow trees were green along the way, and the cicadas were clamoring.

In the midsummer of the third year of Huazhen, everything looked so colorful and full of vitality.

Xie Changyan lifted the curtain of the car and looked curiously at the blue city wall dozens of feet in front of him. There were twelve gates in Yujing. According to the laws, she was going to walk to Mingde Gate directly south. At this moment, the gate was opened, and the twelve rows of silver-armored black cavalry guards were neatly arranged in front of the door. In front of each team of soldiers, there were two maids wearing red-edged green skirts and holding palace fans.

Going further forward, a tall and majestic golden white horse sat on a beautiful boy with red lips and white teeth. He got closer and saw that it was Ruyi.

However, it is not the arrogant look he had when he was preaching the order.

Seeing that Xie Changyan's car arrived, he urged his horse to step forward, and a beautiful kite landed on the ground, bent his knees in front of the carriage and saluted: "According to your order, I welcome Miss Xie."

Inside the car, Zheng gave Xie Changyan a look. Xie Changyan, who had been lying tilted, quickly sat upright, waited for the maid to open the car door, raised his eyelids from bottom to top, and looked at the other party slowly - with a standard ladies' etiquette, reserved and elegant. "Eunuch Xie welcomes you, I'll wait for you for a long time."

Ruyi said: "Your Majesty has set up the 'knowing to stop living' for the girl to live, so I will lead the way."

Ruyi turned around and was about to get on the horse, but a strange look flashed in Xie Changyan's eyes and called him: "Isn't Mr. Ruyi?"

Ruyi turned around: "I am lucky. May I ask - how did Miss Xie know?"

"Last time when Ruyi came to Xie's house, I saw him holding a cup, his fingers were as beautiful as jade. But you may often hold a horse whip, and there are thin calluses between your fingers."

Jixiang smiled and said, "Miss Xie is really observant, I admire her. Please—"

After Jixiang said that, he turned over the horse, and the twelve rows of guards rode the horses together and turned around, opening the way ahead, and the group continued to move forward.

Zheng said to Xie Changyan: "The auspicious father-in-law Ruyi is so arrogant, but this auspicious father-in-law is so friendly. This makes people unable to understand."

"What to think about?"

"They are close ministers of the emperor. From their attitude towards you, we can infer how Your Majesty sees you. If Your Majesty values ​​you, they will restrain themselves; if Your Majesty is indifferent, they will also be presumptuous. But now one is arrogant and the other is kind..."

"Yes, it's a bit interesting..." Xie Changyan Yao looked at Jixiang's back and smiled. Even though he was the most stinky chess player, he was full of anticipation and joy when he started a new game.

Entering the south gate is a straight bluestone street called "Tianshu Street", about fifty feet wide, and curious people standing on both sides.

Xie Changyan couldn't help but be excited: "Are they welcoming me?"

Zheng warned: "Sit down and don't be frivolous."

"What are you afraid of? They can't see me." Xie Changyan said coquettishly, smiling, "I didn't expect that I had such a situation before I got married..."

Zheng looked worried, but when he looked at his daughter's excitement, he didn't say anything else.

The main streets of Yujing City are distributed according to the Big Dipper. After walking along Tianshu Street for a stick of incense, turn left and enter Tianxuan Street. After walking for another half an hour, you will reach Tianji Street.

"Zhizhiju" is located at the end of Tianji Street, very quiet.

The courtyard is not big, but it is arranged with great care. Peony is planted in front of the courtyard, and it bears fruits because the flowering period has passed. The laces in the pond are blooming and beautiful, with green leaves connected to the sky, and the lake water is like a mirror, reflecting pavilions and towers, shining brightly by the lights.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Xie Changyan ate fish sashimi made of mustard sauce for the first time. At the Xie family, he was very particular about being pure and having a simple meal. How many times had he seen such luxury?

Jixiang explained on the side: "The so-called "green fish snow falls sausage and orange grate. Eating fish sausage is the knife skills. Snow falls silently, blow it out in one breath, and huh--"

The boy bulged his mouth and blew it, and a plate of fish sashimi as thin as a cicada's wings floated up.

This scene is quite funny, and Xie Changyan burst into laughter.

Zheng, beside him, secretly pulled her sleeve.

Xie Changyan raised his sleeve and covered his lips, and looked at Jixiang with his eyes curled.

The maid immediately went up to clean up a few cases with a well-trained training, and continued with a smile: "A person like this is a good knife skills."

He was so casual, Xie Changyan was also very relaxed, picked up a fruit beside the plate and asked, "What is this?"

"Citrus. It is hard to eat because of its bitter taste, so carve it into flowers and birds, soak it in honey, and then light it with rouge. Only in this way can it be full of color, fragrance and taste."

Xie Changyan pulled down a petal and put it in his mouth. It turned out to be sweet and sour. "Delicious."

After the meal, she was very satisfied and felt that this meal was the best for thirteen years. Especially the auspicious words were funny, and the origin of each dish was told in a casual manner. Xie Changyan listened with relish.

After the meal, Jixiang stood up and said goodbye, "It's not too early, I'm going to return to the palace to report my life. The two have a hard journey, so please rest early."

"When will He Gong teach me?"

Jixiang showed a hint of embarrassment, Xie Changyan asked, and then he replied: "Honor He has not returned to Beijing yet, the girl needs to wait for a few more days."

Xie Changyan rolled his eyes: "Then can I go out for a walk tomorrow?"

"Of course. I will come here tomorrow, Chenshi and travel with the girl." Jixiang said goodbye with a smile.

Xie Changyan sent him to the door. When he came back, he saw Zheng sitting in his original position and motionless. He looked at the cases in front of her and almost never moved a few dishes. "What's wrong with my mother?"

Zheng waved his hand, all the servants and maids retreated, and only mother and daughter were left in the flower hall.

Zheng looked around and couldn't help but close his eyes. "Carved beams and painted roads, Yue Luo Shu brocade, gold-painted jade squids, pearls and light... so luxurious, aren't you afraid, Chang Yan?"

Xie Changyan understood what she meant and couldn't help but lower his eyes.

"Flowers are in brocade and cooking oil in a fiery fire is the most taboo thing for the Xie family. Didn't the fifth uncle teach you that you drink and eat, and that success is from diligence and thrift, and that you are excited when you see the people coming and welcome them; you are happy when you taste the fine food, and forget about your ambition. Is it okay?"

"Xie Mother's teachings." Xie Changyan bowed deeply and whispered after a while, "But my daughter has something to say."

"Um."

"Since entering the capital, all this has been arranged by Your Majesty. My mother thinks, what is your Majesty's move meant?"

Zheng was stunned.

"I know that the family motto of the Xie family is 'escape from the world', but I insist on designating the daughter of the Xie family as my queen; I know that I am only thirteen years old, but I let me enjoy luxury in advance - isn't what Your Majesty wants to be 'losing his body and forgetting his ambition'?"

Zheng stood up in shock.

"Uncle Fifth teaches chess, unlike Brother Ninth. Brother Ninth teaches me to take one step and think three steps, but Uncle Fifth teaches me to look at one step and wait three steps. Why did Your Majesty take such a chess? What did he want me to react?" Xie Changyan smiled at this point, "Before he knows the intention, please follow it. If he wants me to be happy, I will be happy; if he wants me to live, I will live; if he wants me to eat, I will eat."

Zheng looked at his daughter calmly, and after a while, he said ashamed: "My son has his own secrets in his heart, but he is too worried about his mother."

"Although my daughter is very bright in her heart, she is young and can't stop eating such delicious food. So she needs her mother to be by her side and always bring her some advice." Xie Changyan hugged Zheng's waist and said coquettishly, "I have to take you with her at the risk of angering Longyan, just to listen to your nagging. If you don't have your nagging, how can I live?"

Zheng was amused by her and couldn't hold back her face and laughed out loud.

Zhanghua wore a short suit and shorts, bandaged a headscarf, and carefully placed a beautiful and beautiful bowl of lotus in the stone depression.

The stone is blue, with a small naturally-generated concave bottom in the middle, about three feet square, with some clear water, and moss and weeds growing beside it. A butterfly stopped on one of the grass and slowly blew the almost transparent butterfly wings.

Soon, the butterfly flew from the grass to the lotus and began to suck nectar.

Zhanghua quietly stared at the butterfly, and the whole world was peaceful and peaceful.

I don’t know how long it took, a voice came from outside the door: “Your Majesty, Jixiang is back.”

Zhanghua turned around and walked out of the flower room when he heard the sound.

There was a small compartment outside the flower room. He took off his shorts and wooden clogs, Ruyi held up her usual soap boots to put on for him, while Jixiang stood beside him and waited quietly.

Zhanghua changed his clothes, untied his headscarf, and took the two out of the compartment.

Outside the compartment is his study.

Zhanghua asked while lighting the incense burner himself: "I saw Xie Changyan, what are your comments?"

Jixiang glanced at Ruyi, pursed his lips and smiled: "Beautiful, tall, and very beautiful."

Ruyi's eyes were almost glaring out: "Your Majesty! He did it! He deliberately said to me!"

Zhanghua didn't care about the two children's bickering, so he slowly plucked the fragrance and covered the stove. The white smoke curled up, making the room fragrant.

"You have also met Xie Fanyi. How are the differences between the two?"

"When I met Xie Fanyi, when I saw Xie Fanyi, I was only eight years old, and I only thought that it was a fairy who came down to earth and was so beautiful. Now when I saw Xie Changyan, although Yi was not as beautiful as Xie Fanyi,..." Jixiang pondered for a moment before saying, "It's a character."

"Tell me in detail."

"Yes. She recognized me at a glance that I was not Ruyi, because Ruyi's hands were smoother than me."

Ruyi said proudly: "That's it. My hands are picked and washed every day, and then applied carefully..."

Zhanghua glanced at him, and Ruyi immediately shut up.

"At the dinner, although I could see that it was my first time seeing these dishes, I didn't show any timidity. Instead, I asked the source of the recipe and was generous. Moreover, I ate them all."

Zhanghua raised his eyebrows: "Are you finished eating?"

"Yes. Ten dishes, two bowls of rice."
