"After you went out last night, Xiaorou found out, she waited for half the night and didn't wait for you to come back, I wanted to come to question you early this morning, it seems that there is no need to worry. ”

Yunxi's smiling expression made Lu Tao unable to tell what she was referring to.

Before Lu Tao could ask more, Yunxi continued: "Hurry up and tidy up, we will leave in an hour, there is only one day, and I don't know if I can convince my father to ......"

Looking at Yunxi's somewhat melancholy expression, Lu Tao agreed and went to wash.

Speaking of washing, in fact, there is no place to wash, there is a toothbrush, but there is no room for such a thing as toothpaste, at most it is a little green salt, make do with brushing your teeth, not to mention others, don't expect to have facial cleanser or something like that in a less civilized world.

Of course, even if there is, Lu Tao won't use it.

An hour later, Lu Tao took the carriage of Yunxi back to his parents' house, as the prince's concubine, there was also a corresponding set of honor guards when he returned to his parents' house, Lu Tao was a little embarrassed, he found that although compared with the honor guard of the princess's travel, although the honor guard of the princess's travel was reduced a lot, and the number of soldiers who were gorgeously dressed became smaller, but most of the soldiers were seen by Lu Tao yesterday.

From the movements of whether they glanced at him, Lu Tao knew that these people had already recognized him.

Lu Tao: "......"

Xiao Rou lifted the half-half curtain in front of the carriage and looked out: "I haven't been out for a long time, but I can buy something for my family when I pass by the market later." ”

Lu Tao: "......"

He sat in front of the carriage and sat with the coachman, today's carriage was more than one size smaller, and there were two fewer horses pulling the carriage, so Lu Tao could no longer sit in the carriage.

The wooden crossbar under his buttocks is indeed not so comfortable to sit on, and he has to endure the stares from left and right from time to time, Lu Tao feels that it is really terrible.

"Hey, did you hear me?!" Xiao Rou didn't notice Lu Tao's bad mood, she pushed Lu Tao: "Listen to me!"

"I'm listening!" Lu Tao turned around: "But according to the rules, we represent the royal face, and you can't change the road or stop on the road, so I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the market to buy anything." ”

"Oh, isn't it? I still want to take advantage of the last time to come out and have a good time......"

"It's a pity, no, it's not good, do you see that old eunuch?" Lu Tao pointed to a eunuch who was walking slowly by the carriage, his gray hair showed out of his hat, and said that the old eunuch was indeed an old eunuch: "That is the eunuch sent by the celebrant eunuch, if there is anything unruly, he will write it down, and when the time comes, he will punish those unruly palace maids and eunuchs according to those records, if you don't want to try the meaning of this punishment, don't think about going out!"

"Oh...... Well......"

As she spoke, Xiao Rou retracted her head, and she didn't know what she was muttering to her own miss.

Since leaving the palace, Xiao Rou seems to have really become Xiao Rou, whether it is talking or doing things, she is especially gentle on Lu Tao, which is what Lu Tao is happy to see.

As for the old eunuch just now, Lu Tao didn't know what he was doing, what he said just now was a lie, after all, Lu Tao also saw him yesterday, and he didn't say a word along the way as now, to be honest, if it wasn't for Lu Tao sitting outside the carriage today, he wouldn't have had a chance to notice this old eunuch at all.

The carriage went west along the avenue, and there were fewer people along the way who knelt down to show respect to the royal family as they did yesterday, and I don't know if today's honor guard was too simple.

After turning a few corners, the carriage stopped outside a courtyard, Lu Tao looked left and right, and knocked on the wooden board on the side of the carriage with some confusion: "Yunxi, are we here?"

Yunxi lifted the curtain and looked left and right, and nodded: "We're here, you go knock on the door, it stands to reason that someone came to inform you yesterday, and someone should be waiting outside today......

From Yunxi's tone, Lu Tao heard a trace of hesitation and doubt, in fact, it was Lu Tao who was even more confused.

Jumping out of the carriage, Lu Tao walked to the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the door with a "bang".

This yard is not big at all, whether it is the door face or the courtyard wall, it reveals a sense of vicissitudes, to put it more clearly, that is, the entire courtyard of Yunxi's house is full of cheap feeling, and even in addition to the size exceeding, compared to the small courtyard of Uncle Xu's house, there is also a very important point missing: vitality.

When Lu Tao was just sitting in the carriage, he began to wonder, Yunxi was a young lady from a big family no matter how she looked at it, and from the few words she said, Lu Tao could also hear that Yunxi's original family was either rich or expensive, but why did he live here? If it is said that it has something to do with the previous changes, when Yunxi married into the royal family, this point should have been solved, is it ......

After waiting for a while, just after Lu Tao knocked on the door for the third time, a voice finally came from the door.

An impatient, but slightly shrill voice came from behind the door: "Who?!"

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, but still said, "We are from the palace......"

"From the palace?!" The wooden door opened in front of Lu Tao with a "clang", and it almost didn't hit Lu Tao's nose.

The door was opened by a young man who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he asked in a voice that was still in the stage of voice change, "Is my sister back?"

Behind Lu Tao, Yunxi lifted the curtain on the carriage: "Xiaoyuan, I'm here!"

"Sister!" The young man who was called Xiaoyuan by Yunxi rushed out from behind the door with a cheer, and only stopped next to the carriage, he looked up at Yunxi, and said eagerly: "Sister, it's great that you can come back, I miss you very much!"

"I miss you too!" Yunxi reached out from behind the car window and wiped the young man's head: "What's the matter? I asked someone to come back yesterday to inform me that I was coming back today, no one knows?"

"No!" The young man named Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly think of something: "Hmph! I see! It must be that bad woman who made the trip!"

"Alas!" Yunxi interrupted the young man's words: "No matter how you say that she is also our mother, you can't say that!"

"What's wrong with that?" the young man stiffened his neck: "She still dares to beat me?!" Let's go, sister, go home with me! Let's go and question her to see if she has anything else to say!"

"No!" Yunxi shook his head: "You hurry up and tell your father about this matter, let your father solve it, I'm a royal person now, I can't just go in and out of my mother's house at will, go quickly!"

The young man hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed Yunxi's instructions, and ran back to his yard with a smoke.

When he came back, there was finally what Lu Tao had seen in Xue's house before, a middle-aged man with a large number of people with vegetables knelt down in the bluestone-paved courtyard.

Yunxi's carriage turned around with difficulty in the narrow alley, and then passed through the narrow gate with difficulty, and stopped in the courtyard.

After the convoy entered the courtyard and those gorgeously dressed soldiers occupied several entrances and exits and commanding heights in the courtyard, Yunxi took Xiaorou and Shi Shiran from the carriage to walk down.

She was wearing a rather gorgeous set of clothes, the colors were mainly solemn cyan and bright red, and Xiao Rou obediently helped her carry the skirt that was almost mopping the floor behind Yunxi.

Yunxi got out of the carriage, and quickly bent down to help the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Father, hurry up and let everyone in the family get up, it's all your own family, why use such a big gift?"

"Hmph, let them continue to kneel!" The intermediary stood up: "Daughter, it's different now, you are a member of the royal family, although I am your father, but I can't be exempt from courtesy, this is respect for the royal family." ”

"Cut! What kind of people in the royal family? My husband is dead, and my family is so bad that we can only survive here!" A voice that said big or small sounded among the group of kneeling people, Lu Tao was deaf and clear-sighted, and whether it was Yunxi or her father, because of the distance, they also heard this "whispering" that was not a whisper.

Yunxi's father's face became gloomy for a moment, and before he could say anything, the old eunuch who had been standing quietly next to the carriage suddenly made a move.

I don't know how he moved, one moment he was next to the carriage, the next moment he was in the kneeling crowd.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, and among the kneeling people, a richly dressed woman fell to the ground and looked at the old eunuch in disbelief: "You actually dare to beat me?!"

"Smack!"

There was another crisp sound, but this time the woman was covering the other side of her face, through the gap between the woman's fingers, Lu Tao could see clearly, the woman's face was not only swollen, but also red and bloody, and these two slaps were not light.

"It's just you who don't distinguish between respect and inferiority!

"Yes!" said the two soldiers standing by the carriage.

"Tie up this slut, I'm going to let her see what royal majesty is!

"Father-in-law Lu!" Yunxi took a step forward: "Father-in-law Lu, can you ...... For my sake, let her go? How can you say that she is also the housewife of our Rui family, how can she live when she enters that kind of place, and when she comes out? You can teach her a little lesson, how about it?"
