Chapter 76: A Brief Separation
Luzhu saw Li Anyue come out, and gave a salute to Shenyue Haoqing, then pulled Li Anyue over and asked anxiously, "Anyue, why didn't you see you all of a sudden, it scared me, Qinghong said again that the prince found you, did you break into something again?" ”
Li Anyue glanced at Shenyue Haoqing in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain, Shenyue Haoqing opened his mouth and said for her, "Oh, some of this king's clothes are torn, and he is reluctant to throw them away, and there are usually no maids in the house, so he called her over to help mend her clothes, and it was delayed for a long time." ”
Although this excuse sounds a little reluctant, it is still an excuse, it is still what the prince said, Li Anyue nodded, "Well, yes, that's it." ”
"In this way, why haven't you been missing for so long, if Qinghong hadn't said that the prince called you, I would have thought that you had caused some trouble and were captured by the secret guards. If that's the case, then it's fine! Prince, we should also go back to the palace, and the mother should be worried later. Lu Zhu nodded, and said to Shenyue Haozhe.
Shenyue Haozhe nodded, covered his mouth and snickered, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will come to see you often." He motioned for Shenyue Haoqing to bend down, and added in his ear, "Take Sister An Yue with you." ”
Shenyue Haoqing smiled and touched his head, "Okay, Fourth Brother is waiting for you." ”
Shenyue Haozhe got into the carriage first, and Luzhu also got in, Li Anyue glanced at Shenyue Haoqing, and also got into the carriage, Shenyue Haoqing blocked the driver's sight and held her hand when she was about to bend down into the carriage, Li Anyue smiled and squeezed his hand to respond.
"Be careful on the road." Shenyue Haoqing said to the people in the carriage, and whispered to Li Anyue, "Wait for me." ”
Li Anyue nodded, then reluctantly let go of his hand and got into the carriage. Shenyue Haozhe stared at her with a wicked smile, Li Anyue lowered her head unnaturally, but Luzhu asked her curiously why it had been so long, and she only said vaguely, "It's nothing." ”
Shenyue Haozhe lifted the curtain and waved goodbye to Shenyue Haoqing who was standing outside, Li Anyue happened to be sitting opposite the car window, and his eyes happened to fall on Shenyue Haoqing. The two looked at each other, and the carriage departed at the shouts of the coachman.
Shenyue Haoqing watched the carriage disappear at the intersection, then turned around and went back to the house, summoned the black eagle, and told him to do a few things. Black Hawk received the order and went back to the house to pack his things.
Qinghong saw that Black Eagle was carrying a burden and was about to go out, so she grabbed him, "Black Eagle, where are you going?" ”
"Get out!"
Black Hawk left only two words, jumped on his prepared horse, and set off. Qinghong shouted from afar, "Hey! There was not even a response, and I instantly felt a sense of loneliness in my heart, and silently went to the study to paint.
Li Anyue was still looking at the falling curtain for a long time, and Shenyue Haozhe said casually, "The fourth brother will also enter the palace tomorrow." ”
Luzhu was a little confused, "If the prince is fine, he should enter the palace every day to ask for peace, and the prince doesn't have to worry too much about the prince." ”
Li Anyue looked at him like a little adult, and while sighing that the current children are so mature, she felt a little moved, and decided to tell him more interesting stories in the future. The carriage arrived all the way to the north gate, and since the carriage was not allowed to drive in the palace, it could only get off at the north gate and walk back to the Changchun Palace. Therefore, when I returned to Changchun Palace, the sun had already set, and only a trace of afterglow still illuminated the clouds in the sky.
"Purple Jade!" From a distance, she saw Ziyu standing at the gate of the palace looking left and right, and Luzhu happily beckoned to her.
When the three of them approached, Ziyu anxiously asked what the situation was, and glanced at Li Anyue and Luzhu reproachfully, "Why did you bring the prince back so late, do you know that the mother is in a hurry?" ”
Li Anyue could only smile awkwardly and didn't know how to answer, Luzhu wanted to speak but was interrupted by Ziyu, "Okay, let's go in." Your Highness, come in, Niangniang is waiting for you for dinner in the Lily Palace. ”
Sure enough, before he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Concubine Xian standing at the door like Ziyu before, looking at this side, and when she saw them coming back, she hurriedly walked over, "Why did you come back so late today?" ”
"I'm sorry, Princess, for worrying you."
"It's nothing, just come back. But I don't usually go so late, is there something going on today? Concubine Xian asked as she led him to the hall.
Shenyue Haozhe was just about to open his mouth, but Lu Zhu rushed to answer first, "Today, the prince asked An Yue to mend his clothes, and it was delayed for a while. ”
Li Anyue secretly complained in her heart, and it seemed that she had to take a lot of time to speak. Concubine Xian paused, a little surprised, "Mending clothes? ”
"Yes, the slave maid was also a little surprised, but it seems that the prince is really a good prince who is diligent and thrifty!"
"Is this what An Yue said yourself?" Concubine Xian looked at Li Anyue with a somewhat serious face, and Li Anyue quickly shook her head.
"No, it's the prince himself." Lu Zhu also hurriedly explained to Concubine Xian.
"I'm a little curious when I hear it." Before Concubine Xian could speak again, the yellow-robed Shenyue Cangting walked out of the hall.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor, the emperor is blessed!"
"Son-in-law, see father!"
The group hurriedly knelt down to give a salute, and the Shenyue Cangting motioned for them to get up, and then looked at Luzhu, "Are you talking about the four princes just now?" ”
Don't look at Luzhu's appearance in front of Concubine Xian, it's just because Concubine Xian has never restrained her very much, and she has to add some excitement to the deserted palace, but in front of the emperor, she didn't dare to still shout like that, so she kept her head down and replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”
Shenyue Cangting stood in front of the three of them with his hands on his back, his eagle-like eyes swept over the three, and finally landed on Li Anyue's body, "I, remember you." ”
Li Anyue's body trembled for a moment, then lowered his head and replied yes.
"Your performance in the talent contest was very interesting." Shenyue Cangting walked up to her.
"The slave maid was frightened, which made the emperor smile." Li Anyue didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only answer cautiously.
Shenyue Cangting looked at her condescendingly, she just kept her head down, and at the end, Shenyue Cangting's voice sounded above her head, "Raise your head." ”
Li Anyue could only raise his head as he said and look at him, so it was the first time to look at him so closely, only to find that he was worthy of being a son of heaven, and there was no need to deliberately reveal a kind of domineering spirit between his eyebrows.
Shenyue Cangting didn't speak, just looked at her, and found that although she was a little nervous, her eyes were open and clear when she looked at him, and her plain face and eyes were also an attractive place.
The others didn't dare to say anything when they looked at him like this, and they could only secretly sweat for Li Anyue, but before they could worry about Li Anyue, Shenyue Cangting smiled, turned around and bent down to pick up Shenyue Haozhe and went to the house.
"Has Zhe'er been studying hard lately?"
"Well, Zhe'er has always been very well-behaved!"
"Huh? Is it? ”
……
Li Anyue lowered his head and exhaled, and followed them in with the green bamboo, at this time the palace people had already served the food and put it on the table, because the emperor was here today, so the meal was more sumptuous than before, and all the dishes were also tried by the special people who tried the dishes and found that there was nothing unusual before they dared to let the emperor eat them.
The palace people stood next to them, and Li Anyue looked at the scene of them sitting at the table, feeling really as warm as a family of three, not dozens or hundreds of people in that family...... Li Anyue blinked her eyes and drove away the scary scene in her mind.
"Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come once, but you have waited so long." Concubine Xian smiled and served him and Shenyue Haozhe dishes respectively.
"It's okay, it's rare for me to put aside those complicated state affairs, so I always want to come to Concubine Ai to relax and relax, and you don't have to feel constrained."
"How can the concubine be restrained in front of the emperor, but I'm worried that the emperor's body will be hungry."
"I'm still in good health, it won't be good to eat a little late, but Zhe'er, is your little stomach growling with hunger?" Shenyue Cangting smiled, turned around and teased Shenyue Haozhe, giving people the feeling that they were really an ordinary family of three eating dinner.
"Erchen is not hungry! The sons were full when they saw their father! Shenyue Haozhe raised his head from the rice bowl, with a grain of rice sticking to the corner of his mouth, and his face was innocent.
"Zhe'er ......"
"Your Highness......"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, this kid's way of begging was not right, Li Anyue wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and her mouth was so red that she was holding back.
Shenyue Cangting was stunned, and then laughed, "Zhe'er's appetite is quite small, how can she grow up without eating more?" ”
"Erchen has grown up, Erchen can change and wash himself now, and he doesn't need their help anymore!" Shenyue Haozhe said proudly.
"Oh? So powerful, did your mother teach you? Shenyue Cangting had a kind smile on his face, completely losing the majesty of his usual court hall.
"No, Sister An Yue taught me." Shenyue Haozhe shook his head and pointed at Li Anyue next to him.
Li Anyue snorted, her head was full of countless black lines, today's mood is really up and down, a heart is always held high, for fear of accidentally falling down, she just wants to be a little palace maid quietly, why is it always so easy to attract the attention of the master.
Shenyue Cangting followed Shenyue Haozhe's finger to look at Li Anyue, his eyes were mixed with other things, and he turned to Concubine Xian and smiled, "Aifei, it seems that Zhe'er asked you for a very interesting palace maid to come back, when Zhe'er asked her to come, I still felt a little strange, but now it seems to be a lot more fun." ”
"Yes, this kid is quite clever, the emperor should eat the vegetables, or the dishes will be cold later." Concubine Xian also looked at Li Anyue and said with a smile.
The three of them continued to eat like ordinary people, Li Anyue lowered his head, felt the strange gaze from the other maids next to him, and sighed silently in his heart.
