Eight years later, Chang'an City is still the former Chang'an City, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer the former Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Hao finally walked to the peak of power, the old emperor has become more and more mediocre and suspicious in recent years, although the prince is still the prince, but he can't enter the core of politics. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The old emperor's inability to act, resulting in the prime minister's power is actually the highest peak of the country.

Although the scorching sun at the end of summer is no longer like fire, but in the end it is still hot and humid weather, and the largest tea shop in Chang'an City is crowded with people who come to drink tea and relax.

The storyteller obviously hasn't arrived yet, and the guests below are chatting in twos and threes.

A guest in yellow was obviously annoyed by the people chatting at the same table, and angrily slapped the table and said, "Why don't you believe me, everyone is here to judge and see if what I say is right." ”

Someone with good deeds surrounded the two of them: "Tell me, what's going on, let's make a judgment." ”

"Is this the number one beauty today Miss Li?" The man said angrily.

"Are you talking about Miss Li from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Some of the onlookers asked.

"Of course, who else?" The man had a rightful look on his face.

"The first beauty is a little too much, right? Although this Miss Li has a delicate complexion, she can only be called upper-middle-class. One person chimed in.

"No, that's what I said, I may not know about other young ladies, but the daughter of the famous prime minister has heard of it. It is said that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is short-tempered, and she refuses to accept any grievances, but I only heard who she whipped with a whip, although it is rumored that she is also a first-class good look, but she can't be called the first beauty! The people at the table obviously felt very aggrieved and spoke.

The guest in yellow was also annoyed when he saw that everyone refuted him: "Do you know that yesterday was the prime minister's birthday?" ”

The onlookers were about to disperse, but when they saw that there was still an inside story, they nodded one after another: "Of course, all the officials went to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, and the scene was so lively." ”

"Since it is the prime minister's birthday, Miss Li must have personally presented the congratulatory gift, do you know what Miss Li's congratulatory gift is?" The guest in yellow said with a smug face.

"What is it? Did you know that you went to the Prime Minister's birthday banquet yesterday? Onlookers asked.

"Of course I know, because I was there, that Miss Li personally sang a birthday opera to the prime minister, and the voice, dancing and opera are all things I have never heard before, but I can't praise it enough." The yellow-clothed guest said fascinatedly.

"Don't blow it, although Miss Li likes opera, and the world-famous pear orchard is hers, but this opera has always been a non-mainstream thing, how could the prime minister allow Miss Li to sing." The onlookers said in disbelief.

"How is it impossible, if you don't believe it, ask others, the youngest son of the Hou Ye looked amazing, and knocked over the tea in his hand, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, his eyes are sticking to Miss Li like glue." The yellow-clothed guest swore solemnly.

"There's no one here to testify to you, so of course what do you want to say?" Some of the onlookers made provocative remarks.

"You ......" The yellow-clothed guest was obviously annoyed, and said angrily, rolling up his sleeves to hit the provocative man.

Suddenly there was a laugh at the door, and a woman in a pink dress was helped in by a maid, and the woman's face was like a peach blossom, which made people look infinitely happy.

The people in the hall all looked at the woman blankly, and the woman looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Why am I so enthusiastic about the discussion just now, but I don't know the real person." ”

"I offended Miss Li a lot just now, and I hope you will forgive me." It was the yellow-clothed guest who reacted first and made amends.

"Miss Li, why are you here in person? If there is anything, just send a maid. The owner of the tea shop hurriedly greeted him and said.

"It's okay, I happened to pass by when I was returning home from outside, has the tea arrived?" Li Pin said with a smile.

"It's a coincidence that you came, Xiao'er just returned from the south yesterday, and found a few taels of high-grade tea, and was about to send it to you, you came, and I will go to get it." After the boss finished speaking, he took a bag of wrapped tea and came back.

"Thank you so much, I'm leaving, Xiaoxi, go home." Li Pin said gently, and Xiaoxi helped Li Pin to walk out.

"Miss Li, did you sing at the Prime Minister's birthday banquet yesterday?" Suddenly, a guest asked abruptly.

"What if you sing it, what if you don't? Whether you sing or not is because I like it or not, and it has nothing to do with you. Li Pin paused when he heard this, and left without looking back.

Leaving a room of stunned guests, who haven't come back to their senses yet, yes! She is the daughter of the prime minister in the palm of her hand, and the only criterion for doing things is whether she likes it or not, not whether she does it or not.

In the palace, Situ Qing's bedroom was no longer what it was eight years ago, and the palace maids were respectfully busy with their own affairs, without making a sound at all. In the study of the dormitory, Situ Qing was painting a picture of a woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a smile on her face.

Yu Nuan slowly walked into Situ Qing's study with the stewed bird's nest, Yu Nuan put the bird's nest in Situ Qing's hand, saw the painting he was drawing, paused in his hand, put down the bird's nest gently, and exited the study silently.

Outside the study, by the pond, Yu Nuan looked at the blooming lotus flowers with her chin on her hand, hugging them together and opening them up, attracting a few butterflies to dance on the petals.

Yu Nuan looked at the lotus flowers all over the lake, her eyes were full of tears, and she said slowly: Butterfly Jiaohua, who is full of heart, who complains, the world changes, do you know every inch of tenderness?

Yu Nuan's facial features are already exquisite, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that she is unparalleled in the world, she has a heart all the year round, and there is always a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows, there are few women in the world whose appearance can be compared with it, and the little maid who passed by has long been stunned, with an obsessive face.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happened to pass by here and went to find Situ Qing, although Situ Qing's power has become bigger and bigger over the years, but in the end he is no longer as simple and loyal as he was back then, and he has also learned to conspiracy and tricks. Although he gradually discovered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already wanted to kill him, and secretly instructed the palace maid to bully him, but instead he put on a look of trusting his brother wholeheartedly, and he showed that he did not learn and did not know how to do it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become more and more lazy to hide his true nature over the years, and he has become more and more disappointed in the emperor, and has accepted countless servants and concubines in the palace.

At this time, the prince looked at Yu Nuan by the pond and was secretly amazed, he had seen a lot of beauties over the years, and it was the first time he had seen such a stunning beauty, although he often saw this maid following behind Situ Qing in the past, and he also knew that her appearance was very good, but he didn't know that it was so amazing.

I just wanted to go over and take her back to the palace, but I thought that my younger brother was born stupid, and he relied on the help of this ingenious maid, so he paused and left, that's it, there are many beauties, and there is only one younger brother, and I can't stand him all these years.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked all the way to the study unimpeded: "Qing'er, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother, I'm reading!" Situ Qing raised the travelogue in his hand and raised a big smile: "Brother, have you been to these places?" ”

"No, why does Qing'er want to go? When my brother becomes the emperor, I will allow Qing'er to go, but Qing'er, do you want to be the emperor or not, these places will be yours at that time. Situ Yun said tentatively, although he knew in his heart that Situ Qing didn't want this position, he couldn't help but tempt.

"Brother, what are you talking nonsense? I like these scenery, it doesn't mean that I have to have them, I really hope that one day I can travel through these beautiful scenery, but I don't want to be confined to the palace for the rest of my life like my father, my brother doesn't want to escape the shackles, I want to have freedom. Situ Qing looked at Situ Yun and said seriously, brother, I really want to have freedom, I hope you will be a good brother, so that I will never stand on the opposite side of you.

"Okay, Qing'er, I promise you, I will definitely give you freedom." Situ Yun said with a smile, obviously very happy with Situ Qing's answer, every time Situ Qing said that he had no intention of taking the throne, Situ Yun felt very happy, the heavenly family rarely has real feelings, Situ Yun undoubtedly inherited the suspicious character of the old emperor, and he must confirm it again and again before he let down a little guard.

The scene at this time is like the brotherhood of ordinary people's families, which is really rare in the palace.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Pin has changed into a milky white dress, wearing a ruby hairpin on his head, which is the first time Li Hao made a hairpin for her, although Li Hao has made a lot of jewelry for her over the years, but Li Pin's favorite is still this ruby hairpin.

Li Pin came to the small kitchen, ignored the chef's panicked greetings, and called, "Xiaoxi, have you asked Steward Li?" How long does it take for my father to return home? ”

"Steward Li said that there will be about an hour left, and the adults will return home." Xiaoxi replied respectfully, although Xiaoxi's temperament is still the same as before, but in the end, there are many people who have seen it, and he only shows his side in private, and it is really impossible to find fault in front of outsiders.

"You all go down, Xiaoxi, my father has been very tired lately, and I want to cook dinner for him myself." Li Pin drove the cooks out, and only Li Pin and Xiaoxi were left in the small kitchen, and Li Pin rolled up his sleeves.

"Huh? Miss, but I can't cook, and you can't either, miss! How do we cook dinner for the adults, miss, don't make trouble, okay? Xiaoxi said in a panic, where is the calm appearance of the chef when he is there.

"Xiaoxi, don't worry, isn't there me? You go and wash the dishes first. Li Pin pointed to a bunch of vegetables and said to Xiaoxi, and began to deal with the ingredients, although he has not cooked for many years, but in the end he will cook some meals in his previous life, although the age is different, but the principle will not be too different.

After a long time, Li Pin and Xiaoxi's faces were dirty, and they finally made two dishes, a pot of porridge, Li Pin hurriedly brought the food to Meiyuan, took care of himself, and waited for Li Hao to come back. Li Pin waited for a long time, and when it was dark, Li Pin couldn't stand his sleepiness and fell asleep on the table, when footsteps came from outside the door, and a person opened the door and came in.
