Chapter 60: The Strange Palace
Su Ran finally ate the candy. Because the wine is found if the sugar is not given. It's a no-brainer. Su Ran turned into a grinding goblin. The wine really can't resist. And Empress Li Wei didn't say that she couldn't give Su Ran candy today. The wine can only be from Su Ran.
I glanced sideways at the two types of sugar in the sugar box. Jiu'er cautiously said to Su Ran: "Ninth Princess. The queen mother specially explained. Only one piece can be eaten per day. And both of these inside. You can only choose one. And the two candies are not the same size."
Su Ran just stretched out his head here. The wine began to protect. This made Su Ran pout. It is necessary to be so stingy. I'm afraid I'll rob you. I'm the Ninth Princess. Can do such a thing that loses identity.
If you say the previous life. It's really uncertain. But in this life. Her mental age is much older than that of a drinker. Naturally, they don't do such childish things.
Nougat and brown sugar are surprisingly different in size. You can't have it both ways. Su Ran also knew that he couldn't be too greedy. Pondered slightly. Yesterday in the middle of the night market. That big, white and fun marshmallow made Su Ran remember it vividly. I immediately noticed it.
"The big ones can be eaten for a while. I want that big candy." Su Ran had a smile on his face. She hadn't eaten either of these sugars. Whether it's nougat or brown sugar. She was hearing the name for the first time.
Jiu'er carefully took out a piece of brown sugar from the sugar box. handed it to Su Ran. Su Ran looked at the piece in front of him, which was only the size of two fingers. The thickness is not as thick as the delicate ivory chopsticks of Zhuxi Palace: this is called big candy. It's also called big. If that's all big. So the other kind of nougat is not enough to eat to stuff the teeth.
Su Ran had a faint hurt expression on her face. Gently peel off the layer of sugar wrapper on the outside of the brown sugar. Because it just came out of the ice cellar. Brown sugar is still hard. Just after opening the candy wrapper. Su Ran knew why this piece of sugar was called brown sugar.
Because of this piece of sugar it's black. And it's that black shiny. Which one is swarthy and swarthy. It turns out that this is called brown sugar. It really lives up to its name. Huh. It's still sugar. This thing can be eaten.
Jiu'er looked at Su Ran and frowned. I haven't been able to keep my mouth shut. Immediately reminded cautiously: "Nine princesses. If you don't want to eat it right now. Let's wrap it up first. The queen said. If not eaten in time. It's going to melt away. When the time comes, you won't be able to eat it when it turns into sugar water."
Su Ran was entangled for a moment. In the end, he gritted his teeth: "Don't talk about the wine. I'll try this candy first. Kindness. I'll give you half of it."
The candy that Li Wei gave to Su Ran. Nature is safe. And I've had someone try it a long time ago. I've eaten it myself. It won't be toxic. Su Ran understands this best. And the wine looked at this piece of black brown sugar. His eyes flashed for a moment. The mentality of the little princess to share good things is good. But this brown sugar. I can really eat it. I don't have an appetite for it.
In the eyes of the wine. Su Ran gently bit a small corner of brown sugar. Chew it lightly twice. The brown sugar melted. Then a bitter taste spread directly in Su Ran's mouth.
"Ahh Phew." The most unbearable taste for Su Ran is bitterness. I used to drink even medicine. It's a little bitter and she can't swallow it. Didn't expect this time. She actually ate half a mouthful of such a bitter thing.
Su Ran's little face suddenly wrinkled into a bun face again. Directly stuffed the remaining brown sugar into Jiu'er's hand: "What kind of candy did the queen mother give. The taste turned out to be bitter. Sugar shouldn't be sweet. Which lacked virtue ghost made this sugar. This sugar is so bitter. Who's going to eat it?"
Su Ran really wanted to drink water to flush the bitter taste in his mouth. But now I'm halfway there. There will be water there.
Spit two mouthfuls of saliva. Su Ran began to walk towards the Zhuxi Hall in a hurry. She needs to hurry back and drink water. Jiu'er held the brown sugar that Su Ran had bitten into in his hand. I couldn't laugh or cry for a while. You were the one who thought about eating candy before. It's really nice to be disgusted like this now.
Su Ran walked for a while and suddenly stopped. Because she made a different discovery. That candy called brown sugar. The beginning of the entrance is indeed bitter. But this time it will take place. But there was a hint of sweetness in his mouth. It also has a hint of milky flavor. And the original bitterness. It also turns into a mellow bitter taste.
This mysterious smell made Su Ran close his eyes slightly. That feeling that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. It's like a dream. Unfortunately, no dream is always short-lived. Because the brown sugar in the mouth seems to be completely eaten into the stomach.
Jiu'er followed up and looked at Su Ran standing here in a daze. After a while, Su Ran opened his eyes. The eyes are bright and happy. Su Ran stretched out his hand: "Wine. Give me the brown sugar I gave you earlier. I'm going to eat it again."
Jiu'er said in astonishment: "Little princess. You're not saying that brown sugar is so bitter that you can't put it in your mouth. I almost threw it all."
Fortunately, the wine didn't throw away the brown sugar. Otherwise, the only piece of candy that Su Ran could only eat that day would be gone. Take the brown sugar. Su Ran broke it gently. The brown sugar was broken in two. Su Ran smiled and handed the brown sugar to Jiu'er: "Huh. This is for you. Don't be afraid. This sugar is delicious."
Su Ran looks like this. Don't be suspicious of the wine. Is this Su Ran going to play tricks on himself again. Sugar was said to be bitter. Now it says that this sugar is delicious. Completely contradictory. It's hard not to doubt.
Ignoring the activities of the wine's heart. Su Ran took another light bite. This time, Su Ran endured it and didn't spit it out. Then a mellow taste fills the mouth. This kind of sugar, which is bitter first and then sweet, immediately fascinated Su Ran. Su Ran, who eats, is eyebrows and eyes. It's so cute.
Jiu'er was very fascinated when she saw Su Ran eating. I don't even bother with myself. Only then did I know that what Su Ran said earlier was not wrong. She looked at the half lump of brown sugar lying in the palm of her hand. He took a bite of it. The previous reaction was similar to Su Ran's. I almost threw up. Fortunately, she can stand the bitterness more than Su Ran. In the end, I still ate my stomach. Naturally, I also tasted the unique taste of brown sugar.
The master and servant stood on the path of the royal garden. Su Ran tastes the mellow taste of brown sugar in the body. Jiu'er stood quietly and waited. Then a large black cloud drifted in the sky. Soon the clouds were dark and heavy, as if they were about to be pressed down. Accompanied by this dark cloud. It's a gust of wind.
The wind came very suddenly. Without warning. It was so scraped that the garden was flying sand and rocks for a while. Leaves and flower bones fluttering. A few small flowers swept directly across Su Ran's face.
Almost as soon as Su Ran came back to his senses. First, a few drops of rain fell on the forehead. Then the rain began to fall uncontrollably.
It was a torrential rain. It came without warning. And the section of the Imperial Garden where Su Ran is located is a bit off. There are no gazebos around. If it's a spring rain. Su Ran can also go for a walk in the rain. Don't hurry back to the Zhuxi Palace. Maybe you might even be inspired. A poem.
But now. The pouring rain fell on the head. There is no place to protect from the rain all around. Su Ran just tasted the joy of brown sugar. It was washed away all at once.
At this time, it is estimated that it is too late to return to the main palace of the queen mother. Even if you go back, you will become a soup chicken. If you run back to Zhuxi Hall in the rain. Hehe. It is much farther to Zhuxi Hall than to Zhengqian Palace.
The wine took off his coat while taking off his body. While looking around anxiously. Don't really say it. There is a palace in the distance.
Spread his coat on top of Su Ran's head. Jiu'er pointed to the distance: "Nine princesses. There's a house over there. Where do we go to shelter from the rain first? When the rain stops, we will go back to Zhuxi Temple.
Hurry up and do what you want. Su Ran is not so picky. And what kind of kung fu. It's better to take two more steps. At least a little less rain is true.
He took off his coat with wine. Su Ran and Jiu'er trotted all the way. It's in this busy space. The wine took the box of candy back into his arms. Generally inattentive palace maids. Where will notice this.
Hurry up and jog. I finally ran to that palace before another ** rain. This is a palace that Su Ran didn't know about at all. The palace is so big. Even if Su Ran walks around on weekdays. I haven't been to every palace. Even if you've been. It is even more impossible to know the name of every palace.
None of these are the main ones. To Su Ran's great surprise, this palace had no walls. Surrounded by a fence used by the common people. The only thing that's different. These fences are made of bamboo. Both workmanship and overall perception. Hundreds of times stronger than the fence of the flat-headed people.
But no matter how exquisite. That's also a fence. Why would my father allow this palace not to be built with high walls? What a spooky palace.
"Little princess, look. There's someone there. It's like dancing."
Follow the direction of the wine's fingers. Su Ran immediately opened his mouth wide. The wine is telling the truth. Not far away was a woman dressed in white. Folded a willow branch. Dancing in the rain. The dance is enchanting and atmospheric. The most shocking thing is around her. The rain that fell hardly fell on her. In the midst of this rain. Her pair of cotton cloud boots. It looks like it's all dry.
Look at her and look at herself. Su Ran had an illusion. It's not that she doesn't rain there. It's raining on your own.
And at first glance, the woman in white dances like a fairy in the rain. But if you look closely, her toes barely touch the ground. A strange thought suddenly popped up in Su Ran's heart: This girl shouldn't be a ghost. But in broad daylight. Can ghosts come out casually?
Jiu'er didn't think so much as Su Ran thought. All she wanted to do was find a place to hide from the rain. Pulled Su Ran into his arms. She rushed under the eaves of this palace almost in one breath.
Su Ran never knew that Jiu'er still had such a strong strength. She pulled herself and ran over. I tried to pull my hand away several times but to no avail. Once, I almost fell. Wait to stand under the eaves. Su Ran went to see the rain again. The woman who was still dancing before 、、、 gone.
