268. Both men want her
As soon as he entered the Yuanhe Palace, Li Rui shouted loudly: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother." ”
"You kid, you've been out of the palace for more than half a year, and you're still so naughty when you come back, if I hadn't said that your eldest brother was about to get married and asked someone to find you back, I'm afraid you'd have to play outside and be uncontrollable." The queen mother is a middle-aged beauty of about forty years old, wearing a golden embroidered phoenix Bixia Luo, wearing a sunrise five phoenixes hanging beads and hairpins, sitting at the table of carved dragons and phoenixes and vermilion lacquer square tables, it is really a pearl ring and green around graceful and luxurious.
Seeing her son at this moment, she showed a heartfelt smile on her face, which she couldn't see, and said with disgust and pity in her mouth.
"Queen Mother, you know that the child is the most unbearable in the palace, let me stay in the palace every day to listen to the knowledge and read the excerpts, I will be bored, it is better to let me out of the palace for a few days, anyway, the child will come back to see you as soon as he misses you." Li Rui walked over and sat down on the soft chair next to the queen, and said sweetly.
"You, just a mouth that will please the mourners." The queen smiled and said, "Your eldest brother is about to get married, and I think it is time for you to find a good daughter to take care of you." Previously, in order to choose a concubine for your eldest brother, your father and I carefully inquired about the character, knowledge and appearance of all the daughters of officials above the fourth rank in the court, and there were a few girls who were still very good, and your father and I were really satisfied. It's just that your eldest brother can only choose a concubine first, and there are a few dignified and virtuous good girls, and the mourning family thinks that you can pay attention to Rui'er. ”
"Don't! Queen Mother, don't arrange for me to choose a concubine to marry or anything, your child and I, although I like beautiful women, I don't want to get married. I'm scared when I think about marrying a wife and having children. Li Rui said deliberately with a look of fear.
The queen was amused and angry when she saw it: "As a prince, I will turn twenty this year, and I still talk nonsense." How can a prince not choose a concubine and not marry? Like your eldest brother, your father gave him Prime Minister Su's daughter, and I heard that she was a beautiful woman who was knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and versatile. The mourning family is now only looking forward to the early arrival of the ninth auspicious day of the first month of September, and your eldest brother and they should be happy to complete the wedding. ”
Li Rui smiled when he heard this: "Queen Mother, you are still looking forward to embracing the emperor and grandson as soon as possible, I have seen a lot of stunning beauties, and it is generally not like that." ”
Saying this, the shadow of the small comb suddenly floated in my mind, and I couldn't help but think about it, and couldn't help but say in my heart: It seems that I have really seen a stunning ......
"Okay, well, you've seen a lot of beautiful women." The queen looked at this son who made her love and made her helpless dotingly: "I have sent someone to pass on your eldest brother, today, you two brothers have to accompany my mother and mother here to have a good dinner." ”
"Queen Mother, the child wants to ask you, which courtyard is there in the palace named Little Comb?" Li Rui thought of the little comb, and didn't pay much attention to what the queen said, just wanted to find the girl who dared to let him wait in vain.
"Little comb? This mourner doesn't know very well. There are so many fathers-in-law and palace maids in the palace, how can the mourning family remember the names one by one? The queen thought for a moment, shook her head, and said.
At this time, a father-in-law came to report: "Queen Bing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”
Li Mo took a small comb and walked into Yuanhe Palace and met the queen mother.
The queen beckoned Li Mo and Li Rui to sit down on both sides, and said, "You two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's talk about it here today." ”
Li Rui saw Su Xiaorou standing behind Li Mo at a glance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, little comb, it turns out that you are from the big brother's courtyard, you let me wait for a free time today, and you owe me one more favor." ”
Su Xiaorou only paid attention to the queen before, and did not notice Li Rui. Hearing this, I couldn't help but look at him, and realized that the person I met in the imperial garden was the second prince who lingered outside the palace all the year round.
At this moment, I saw Li Rui's eyes burning, looking at him with a smile. Xiao Rou hurriedly said: "Little Comb doesn't know that you are the second prince, if there is any neglect, I hope that the second prince will have a lot of forgiveness for Xiao Comb." ”
Li Mo looked at Li Rui suspiciously, and then looked at Su Xiaorou: "What?" Have you seen it? ”
"Hahaha, it's not just seen." Li Rui laughed and stood up and walked to Su Xiaorou's side: "She also sang a lot of songs to me, and said that she would continue to sing to me today, isn't it, little comb?" ”
"Yes." Su Xiaorou replied honestly, thinking to herself: This second prince is really deliberately embarrassing.
"Oh? Little comb, you've been in Yonghe Hall for so long, why have I never heard you sing? Li Mo was even more puzzled, looked at Su Xiaorou and asked.
"Back to the prince, the little comb was just humming for fun, and it happened to be heard by the second prince." Su Xiaorou replied that she never dreamed that she would meet Li Rui here, and only hoped that their dinner would start soon, and they would not be endlessly entangled in this issue.
"Is this the little comb you just asked about? looks quite handsome. The queen watched coldly for a long time, and then spoke.
"yes, I'm talking about the little comb that's her. Mother, you are too stingy with your praise words, I think the little comb can afford the word you just said, stunning. Li Rui said with a grin.
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but turn her face sideways and look at Su Xiaorou carefully, and said: "It is indeed a different appearance, if it is on the face of a girl's family, it may be a country and a city, but it is a pity that he is a man, and he looks a little nondescript." ”
Hearing what the queen said, Li Rui winked at Xiao Rou narrowly, as if to say: Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you.
Xiao Rou's face was slightly red again, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Li Rui said again: "Brother Huang, I see that this little comb is very popular, can you send her to my Jinghe Hall to follow me to do things?" Li Rui thanked the imperial brother in advance. ”
Li Mo was slightly stunned, he, the second emperor's brother, did not like to live in the palace since he was a child, and often stayed outside the palace for a long time without returning, and rarely asked for any requirements for the people who served around him in the palace, but now he asked him for a small comb, which is really a strange thing.
Speaking of which, it is nothing to assign a subordinate to the emperor's brother from his side, it is a trivial matter, but he just ordered a small comb.
Li Mo looked at Su Xiaorou and felt a little reluctant in his heart, so he said: "Brother Huang, I still have a lot of smart and clever little fathers-in-law and little palace maids there, you can choose with me later, this little comb, I still want to stay by my side." ”
Looking at the prince's appearance, Li Rui's naughty heart rose again: "Brother Huang, I don't want your smart little father-in-law and little palace maid there, I just like this little comb." ”
Li Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Then ask Xiao Comb about his wishes." ”
The queen mother spoke unhurriedly at this time: "Isn't it just a palace person?" It's also worth fighting over with your brothers? Little comb, you say it yourself, which of them would like to go to the two of them on an errand? ”
"I ......" Su Xiaorou looked at Li Mo in embarrassment, and then looked at Li Rui.
The two men were staring at her with blazing eyes at the moment, one had known her for two months but still thought she was a man, and the other had just known her for a day but had already recognized her as a girl.
"Little comb, come to me, I'll have a lot of fun." Also, you still owe me a song, just to compensate. Li Rui said to Su Xiaorou with a smile.
But I heard the queen snort dissatisfiedly: "Rui'er, the next person is the next person, and he goes to you to serve you, isn't it possible that you still take him to have fun?" ”
Xiao Rou listened to what Li Rui and the queen said, and looked at Li Mo again, with a slight uneasiness.
She hoped that Li Mo could say something, but Li Mo was silent now, and she didn't even look at Su Xiaorou.
Su Xiaorou's heart was inexplicably a little depressed, and she thought: If you don't keep me, then I'll go to the second prince.
But Li Mo's silent figure seemed to have a magical power, gently tugging at her heartstrings, and she naturally said with a mouth: "Back to the queen's mother, the little comb is still willing to stay by the prince's side to serve." ”
She saw that the prince's eyes suddenly lit up, although he still didn't speak, but everyone in the room could see that Li Mo was happy.
At the same time, Su Xiaorou also saw that Li Rui's face instantly dimmed, but it was only fleeting, and he immediately changed to his nonchalant smile.
Li Rui laughed: "It seems that those who have known each other for a long time are more reliable than those who have known each other for a short time." Brother Huang, then I may disturb you more in the Yonghe Hall in the future, because the people in the palace, I just think your little comb is the most interesting. ”
"Second Emperor Brother, if you want to go to my Yonghe Palace, just go and play, but Xiao Comb is usually a very timid person, and I hope you don't joke too much about him in your words and behaviors, so as not to scare him." Li Mo said.
"Okay, okay, a little comb, it's going to make you two brothers go toe-to-toe here." The queen was a little displeased at this time, she didn't understand how a subordinate and two sons were so rare, and the eldest son even asked the second son not to scare the subordinate, it was incredible.
Puzzled and annoyed, the queen turned to the palace maid beside her and said, "Tell the imperial kitchen to serve food." ”
So, the palace maids came with hot plates and small plates and all kinds of dim sum. The queen, mother and son sat down one by one to prepare for dinner, and Xiao Rou quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
At night, in the study of the Taihe Palace, Li Mo sat quietly.
In the past few days, Xiao Comb has been by his side, and he found that Xiao Comb is not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He felt more and more that this little comb was not simple, and it seemed to be getting more and more ...... Loved this little comb.
Sometimes I even think, everyone says that the little comb is like a girl, if the little comb is really a girl, wouldn't that be better?
Thinking of this, Li Mo's face suddenly became hot, he was startled first, and hurriedly said in his heart: Li Mo! Don't be evil anymore, how can a little comb be a woman? You'd better concentrate on doing what you have to do......
