Chapter 22: Trouble

CHAPTER XXI

Of course, this little girl is none other than Runrun, who was moved by Ruyi a few days ago, and thought about Runrun on the street.

The old lady and Lu Qinglan both loved her, and they didn't think it was particularly difficult, so they agreed to it after the arrangements were made.

But no one thought that in the capital and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there would be people who would bully others, so that Runrun would be separated from Lu Qinglan.

Runrun was holding back tears when he suddenly saw someone he knew. The hesitation and fear in my heart all exploded.

"Cousin!" Runrun shouted at him, ran towards him, accidentally tripped over the hem of his skirt, and pounced.

The prince took it all over, saw that she was already choked and cried, patted her back with one hand, and stroked the back of her head with the other, "Runrun is not afraid, cousin is here." ”

The second prince was watching from the side, and the second monk was puzzled, when did he have such a 'cousin'? How he didn't know.

Runrun cried quietly for a while, and when she had cried enough, the prince let her go and asked her softly what was wrong. Runrun endured choking and slowly recounted the separation between himself and his aunt.

Her eyes were red from crying, and she also had the characteristic moisture after crying, and she looked like a frightened little rabbit, which made people feel distressed.

After hearing this, the prince instructed the people around him to find a nearby silk village. Although she was scattered, the little girl had a limited distance and must not have been able to go far.

The guards around the prince were also well-trained, and they quickly divided into teams, some continued to stay behind the guards, and some scattered to look for them.

The second prince was questioning beside him, and finally couldn't help asking: "When did we have such a 'cousin'?" How do I not recognize it? ”

The prince said: "It's Ruyi's handkerchief, the girl from Ye Ling's family, shouting with Ruyi." ”

The second prince was very surprised, Ruyi, that tomboy, could still have such a delicate handkerchief? Is it really a friend, not the kind of person to bully?

He was stunned, and the prince asked Runrun if he was thirsty and hungry.

Runrun didn't want to trouble him, but her stomach was already rumbling softly, she didn't have lunch, and told her aunt that she would go to the restaurant to eat after cutting the ingredients, plus she was really tired and hungry now after walking around for a while.

The prince was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he said patiently: "You call me 'cousin' like Ruyi, and treat me as a brother, right?" Then with me, what else is Runrun polite? ”

Runrun pursed his lips and said, "Then it's troublesome cousin, next time I'll take you to eat something delicious." ”

The prince couldn't help but rub the broken hair on her forehead, if it wasn't just the second time they met, he would really be pinching her face.

Men and women are seven years old at different tables, and I don't know why, in front of other little girls, the prince already knows to avoid taboos, but when his sister sees Runrun, he can't remember those, and only subconsciously treats her as a deer and a rabbit.

The crown prince sent someone to inform the other guards of the location of the joint change, and he took Runrun and the second prince to a restaurant on the same street.

The teahouse was overcrowded, and when Xiao Er saw them come in, he greeted them with a shy smile: "A few little guest officers, I'm sorry, our lobby and the private rooms on the second floor are full, only the private rooms on the third floor are still empty, you see......"

Before the prince could speak, the second prince had already said with a look of indignation: "'Guest officer' is 'guest officer', what is 'little guest officer'?" Besides, do you look like you don't have any money? Can't afford your private room? ”

Xiao Er hurriedly apologized, "It's a small one who can't speak, don't be angry, a few guest officers, please have a private room on the third floor." ”

The second prince snorted lightly, and followed Xiao Er upstairs with his hands behind his back.

The prince couldn't help but sigh behind him, this kid hasn't been out of the palace a few times, why don't you need to teach such a gentleman.

After the three of them went upstairs, Xiao Er wanted to introduce the restaurant's signature dishes.

The second prince was impatient, so he let him go directly. Anyway, if you can't finish eating, you can't waste a few dollars.

However, the prince was careful, afraid that the restaurant would try to make a profit and eat some greasy meat dishes, so he ordered another sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed mandarin fish. I think Runrun should love to eat.

Although the restaurant has many people and business, there is a strange way to place an order. People like them who seem to be rich and noble naturally have to be at the top of the line.

What's more, the second child also has a little daughter in the family, which is the age to attract love. Seeing that there was also a cute little girl with their peers, her eyes were red as if she had just cried, and she was pitiful, and Xiao Er also helped urge her.

Soon the dishes were on the table, and the second prince thought of his own powerlessness to Runrun before, so he also asked Xiao Er to spread all the dishes in front of her as much as possible.

This 'Juxian Building' is open on the most lively street in the capital, and it has been standing tall for many years, and it naturally has its uniqueness. Although these dishes cannot be compared with the imperial court, they are also unique, and several special local dishes are very authentic.

Not to mention that Runrun has never been out of the house and has not seen much of the world, even the crown prince and the second prince can't help but eat a few more chopsticks.

Runrun was very hungry, but he didn't show the ugly appearance of gobbling up. She was small and short-handed, so the prince would use chopsticks to clip a few chopsticks and dishes for her from time to time and put them on a small plate.

Runrun chopsticks make her more flexible than her peers, and she is not a picky eater, and whatever the prince gives her, she quickly clips it into her mouth.

The private room is not big, and there is a small window facing the street next to it, and the prince and the second prince look at the street from time to time, and they don't pay much attention to Runrun. When they looked back again, Runrun's small mouth was shiny, his cheeks were bulging, and he was still putting vegetables in his mouth.

The second prince couldn't help but snort, this little girl eats, how can she be like the fat rabbit raised in Nanxuan Palace, and her little mouth is really fast.

Hearing him laugh, the prince glanced at him and motioned for him to hold back.

Runrun didn't care, and smiled at her with his cheeks puffed out.

The second prince quickly staggered his eyes, and his ears were hot, well, she was much cuter than the fat rabbit......

The three children couldn't eat much, and when they were full, there was only a third less food on the table.

At this time, the guards also brought Lu Qinglan over.

Runrun was drinking flower tea with a teacup in both hands, and as soon as she saw her aunt, she immediately put down the teacup, shouted at her, jumped off the chair and ran over, and threw herself into Lu Qinglan's arms.

Lu Qinglan's hair was slightly messy, and there was a little sweat on her forehead, and she had been looking for Runrun in the crowd for a long time. Although it was only more than half an hour before and after, she felt tormented in her heart, but it seemed to have been spanning many years.

Just now she was outside, and she could still arrange the family members of the bachelor's mansion to look around in an orderly manner, and finally saw Runrun at this time, but she couldn't help but redden.

"Thank you two sons," Lu Qinglan saluted to the crown prince and the second prince, "I will thank you again in the future." ”

The prince smiled and said, "Auntie doesn't have to be polite, we also happened to meet Runrun." The effort of raising your hands is not enough. Auntie is tired all the way, so you might as well sit down and have a cup of tea and rest. ”

Lu Qinglan blessed her body again, thanked her, and sat down with Runrun in her arms, the last time the prince accompanied Ruyi to the mansion, she didn't know his identity at the time, she only regarded him as an ordinary son of the family, and she didn't want to know his identity later. It's no wonder he didn't guess before, who could know that such a valuable person could have such a kind attitude towards people.

"Auntie, are you okay, did that fierce sister embarrass you?" Runrun asked worriedly, tugging at the hem of her aunt's clothes.

Lu Qinglan shook her head, not wanting to say it carefully, but said, "Aunt is fine, Runrun don't worry." ”

The second prince was interested, and asked: "There are still such reckless people in this capital?" Auntie might as well speak it out and let us know. ”

Lu Qinglan didn't recognize him, and the prince introduced: "This is my younger brother, and his speech is a little light and serious, and my aunt doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as him." ”

Lu Qinglan was not the kind of person who was willing to chew his tongue and love to sue, but when he thought that his own Runrun was almost separated because of that girl, he was really angry and uneasy, so he said: "I heard that it was a girl from An Guohou's family, just because she liked the fabric I chose earlier, and wanted me to give it away, but I didn't want to, so I called someone to kick us out of the store." I couldn't be angry, and after arguing with her, the people she brought with me started to do so, but fortunately we also brought a few strong family members with us, and we didn't suffer. It's just that with the people watching the excitement outside, it was crowded for a while, and Runrun was lost. If she thought that there would be such a consequence, she would have endured that breath at the time, and let it go.

Runrun hung her head and wrung her fingers, in fact, she was scared at the time, her aunt asked her to stand aside, and she walked away, and then the crowd saw a person who was particularly like her aunt, so she followed, who knew that she had followed a short distance before she found that she was wrong, and she didn't know the way, and she wanted to walk back with her memory, and then she got lost.

"An Guohou's family?" The second prince said in a strange voice. That Mrs. An Guohou is the sister of the current Queen Mother, his titular grandmother. is also a person he hates in the house and Wu.

The second prince touched his chin, his eyes sparkled excitedly, but he wanted to meet that girl. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no one in such eyes, and it is really as annoying as her aunt and grandmother!

The prince saw his thoughts, and just wanted to tell him not to make trouble. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and Xiao Er seemed to be blocking someone outside the door.

"A few guest officers, there are distinguished guests in our restaurant, you can't help ...... like this"

There was a crisp sound of 'pop', and Xiao Er seemed to have received a slap, interrupting his words.

The guards beside the prince just wanted to stop him, but he waved his hand to stop them. Although he still wanted his younger brother not to cause trouble just now, he also wanted to know who had the courage to be presumptuous in front of him!

In the blink of an eye, the door of their private room was pushed open......

What came in was a little girl with her head held high, combed in a double flat bun, a rabbit fur shawl, and a purple and white printed brocade skirt, followed by seven or eight middle-aged families, all of whom were carrying sticks and looking vicious.

"When you hide here, you think this girl can't find you? I'm going to settle on that material, hand it over now, and this girl can make you suffer less. As soon as she came in, she smiled contemptuously, and said to Lu Qinglan as if no one was around, her attitude was as arrogant as a peacock.
