Chapter 390 Leaving the Palace
Chapter 390 Leaving the Palace
When the Minister of Personnel heard this, he quickly knelt down. Seeing him like this, Xiao Lengyue said coldly, "Is there anything else that I don't know?"
When the Minister of Personnel heard this, he thought that his Majesty was so smart that he might know a solution, so he said, "Your Majesty, the court only owns about 20% of the bookstores outside, and the rest are all the property of the Wang family.
The late emperor was kind and benevolent. Seeing that the Wang family paid a certain amount of paper as tribute every year, he no longer cared about the Wang family's affairs.
But in recent years, the Wang family has become more and more outrageous, and the prices have become higher and higher. "
When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she understood what the Minister of Personnel meant, but she didn't say anything. She said coldly, "Tianyi, go check."
When Tianyi heard Xiao Lengyue's words, he instantly appeared in the room, bowed, and left.
The Minister of Personnel looked at Tianyi's clothes and his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
This was the first time he saw the Golden Dragon Guard. He originally thought that with the death of the previous emperor, it would never appear again, but unexpectedly, it was still there.
However, considering how much the late emperor loved Your Majesty, it is normal that he reserved the Golden Dragon Guard for Your Majesty in advance.
Now, His Majesty has asked the Golden Dragon Guard to investigate. Does he want to take action against the Wang family?
Xiao Lengyue had no idea what the Minister of Personnel was thinking. Seeing that he was still kneeling on the ground, she asked suspiciously, "My dear, is there anything else?"
When the Minister of Personnel heard Xiao Lengyue's words, he reacted instantly and shook his head, "No more."
"Then go down and rest."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Personnel nodded, stood up and left.
Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Lengyue looked at Tianyi and said, "Follow me on a private visit outside the palace."
Tianyi nodded and went downstairs to make arrangements, while Xiao Lengyue asked the maid to prepare clothes.
After a while, Xiao Lengyue saw a maid coming with a set of women's and men's clothes.
Xiao Lengyue took a look, pointed at one of the sets, and took the rest.
After a while, when Tianyi arranged the carriage to pick up Xiao Lengyue, he saw Xiao Lengyue had already changed her clothes and came out.
When Tianyi saw clearly what Xiao Lengyue was wearing, he was slightly stunned, but when he thought that it would be more convenient to wear men's clothes when leaving the palace, he didn't say anything.
So, Xiao Lengyue left the palace like this.
She sat in a carriage and slowly came to the street. After taking a look at the bustle on the street, she asked, "Let's find a restaurant and eat something first."
Tianyi heard this and looked at Xiao Lengyue with some embarrassment, "Master."
Xiao Lengyue sighed softly, "Then let's go to the Duke of the Guardian to eat, okay?"
When Tianyi heard this, he nodded and asked the coachman to go to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
Leng Shaobin was fishing in the yard when he saw the housekeeper running in hurriedly.
Leng Shaobin watched the fish in the water about to take the bait, but because the housekeeper's movements were too big, the fish were scared away.
Seeing that all the fish disappeared at once, Leng Shaobin looked over coldly, "It better be urgent, otherwise I will definitely not forgive you."
When the butler heard this, he knelt down in fear, "Master, that person is here."
When Leng Shaobin heard this, he frowned and asked, "Who?"
The housekeeper didn't dare to speak out loud, so he just mouthed it. When Leng Shaobin saw it, he was shocked for a few seconds. After reacting, he asked anxiously, "Where is it?"
"The door."
When Leng Shaobin heard this, he hurried towards the gate. When he saw the carriage outside, he paused.
He hurried forward and was about to salute when he was stopped by the people in the carriage.
"Grandfather, there's no need to bow."
After Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, she walked out of the carriage. Seeing this, Leng Shaobin bowed slightly.
Xiao Lengyue looked at Leng Shaobin, "Grandfather, I want to eat the food in the mansion."
Leng Shaobin laughed when he heard this, "Okay, Grandpa will have someone prepare the food."
When the housekeeper heard this, he hurried to ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes. He came to the kitchen and told the cook, and also reminded her: "Be careful when cooking."
When the cook heard this, she looked at the housekeeper suspiciously and said, "Don't worry, housekeeper. I cook very carefully every day and wash the dishes carefully."
When the housekeeper heard this, he wanted to say that this time was different from the previous ones, but when he thought that the emperor was visiting incognito, he swallowed his words and only said, "There are distinguished guests visiting the mansion, so it's more refined."
The cook said she understood, and seeing the housekeeper still in the kitchen, she said unhappily, "Housekeeper, you are worried about my cooking skills, right?"
The housekeeper quickly shook his head, "No, I'm just a little worried."
The cook was also an old lady who had lived in the Leng Mansion for her entire life. She was not afraid of the housekeeper at all and said directly, “Then get out quickly.
I can't move if you stay here."
When the housekeeper heard this, he wanted to say something but was pushed out by the cook.
However, he was worried that the servant in the front yard might offend that person, so he asked someone to guard outside the kitchen door and then hurried to the front yard.
When he arrived at the front yard, he saw his master and that girl sitting in the pavilion. The housekeeper saw that there was only tea on the stone table, so he quickly asked someone to bring some fruit.
Tianyi was waiting outside the pavilion. When he saw the butler carrying the fruit, he took it.
The housekeeper was very tactful and handed the plate to Tianyi Anyi. Tianyi put the plate away, then took out a silver needle, and after checking that there was no problem, he left the pavilion.
Xiao Lengyue knew that it was troublesome to eat, so she turned her head to look at Leng Shaobin and said, "Grandfather, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Leng Shaobin laughed when he heard this, and said lovingly: "Yue Baoer, when you go out, you must pay attention to what you eat.
If something happens to you, the people will have a hard time.”
Xiao Lengyue knew the answer to this question, and nodded, "I understand, Grandfather."
Leng Shaobin knew that she was sensible, so he didn't say anything else, but asked, "Are you leaving the palace for something?"
Xiao Lengyue nodded, "I want to see what the capital looks like."
When Leng Shaobin heard this, he thought that His Majesty had left the capital when he was young, so it was normal for him to be curious about the capital, so he nodded and said, "Then let your brother take you out to play later."
Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue asked happily, "Brother, are you taking a day off today?"
Leng Shaobin nodded, "Yes, he said he had to go to the military camp and would be back later."
As soon as Leng Shaobin finished speaking, Leng Haohui's voice came from the door.
"Grandfather, there is no sign on the carriage at the door. Who is here to see you?"
Leng Haohui came back happily, but when he saw the person next to Leng Shaobin, his steps stopped instantly.
He looked at Xiao Lengyue in disbelief, and when he came to his senses and wanted to salute, he heard Xiao Lengyue say, "Brother, come here quickly."
Seeing Xiao Lengyue like this, Leng Haohui smiled dotingly and walked over there.
Tianyi knew Leng Haohui, so he didn't stop him and let him pass.
Leng Haohui saw Xiao Lengyue and said helplessly: "Willful."
