Li Rui said: "Beauty first, you say it first." ”

"I want to ask, since you are a prince, why are you not like other royal children? What kind of place is this? And how can you be so good at kung fu? ”

"Are you done asking? Is that all? Li Rui said with a smile.

Xiao Rou nodded, in fact, she still had a lot of curiosity about the second prince in her heart, but it seemed that she could only think of these for a while.

"First, because I am not a person by nature, and the rules and regulations of the royal family are useless to me, so I don't like or want to be like other royal children; Second, it is a place of meditation and recuperation, which can also be said to be my secret resting place; Thirdly, because of my restlessness, I often run around outside the palace, and I have met a lot of masters, and I have always studied hard and practiced hard, so I naturally have this great kung fu. Li Rui looked at Su Xiaorou, his smile remained unchanged, and he said in a flat tone.

"That's right." Su Xiaorou still felt that there seemed to be something about this second prince that she couldn't figure out, but she knew that she couldn't ask any further, after all, they hadn't known each other for a long time, and the second prince had trusted her enough to tell her like this.

"Alright, now it's time for me to ask you. If you are just a subordinate, how can you have such superb piano skills? Since you are a woman, you obviously have a beautiful appearance, but why do you hide yourself and dress up as a man to stay in the palace? Aren't you afraid that my father will take a fancy to you and take you as a concubine? As soon as Li Rui opened his mouth, he said again, half-joking, half-serious.

"I found that the second prince likes to speculate the most, and the reason why I dress up as a man is, of course, because I have a last resort, so I can't tell you now. As for my ability to play the piano, it is the same as you, the second prince, because I have a master as a teacher and I myself study hard and practice hard. Su Xiaorou smiled lightly and said, she felt very relaxed talking with this second prince, without a sense of restraint.

"It's not fair, I told you everything, but you only told me so little." Li Rui deliberately made a look of suffering a big loss.

"Hehe, Second Prince, weren't you still talking about women first? Then you're going to let me do it again, and we'll both be even. Xiao Rou covered her mouth and smiled, blinking a pair of water-cutting autumn pupils and looking at Li Rui, in this warm and comfortable bamboo house, she seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in recent days.

"Okay, okay, women first, I agree to let you. Who made me Li Rui always be so personable and very pitiful. Li Rui had a helpless but happy expression of enjoyment.

Su Xiaorou couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you still want to listen to me sing?" I'll compensate you. ”

"Of course, too much! Last time you missed an appointment in the Imperial Garden, and I waited so long, today you have to sing to me more. Li Rui said softly, staring at Su Xiaorou with a pair of shining eyes.

Under his soft and seemingly warm gaze, Xiao Rou turned around and plucked the strings and sang softly.

"Wow, Sister Comb sings so well." At this time, Bao'er walked in with a pot of steaming tea, obviously having heard Su Xiaorou's singing, and said while admiring: "Brother Rui, Sister Comb, tea is here." ”

He skillfully placed the teapot on the bamboo table, took out two fluorescent jasper green cups, and poured tea full: "Brother Rui, Sister Comb, please take a break and taste the osmanthus tea brewed by Bao'er herself." ”

Su Xiaorou said, "Okay." ”

She also felt tired when she sang, so she stopped playing the piano, walked over and sat down on the bamboo chair, took a small sip of the jade cup and drank it gently.

"What a fragrant osmanthus tea, is this Bao'er's tea you grew yourself?" Su Xiaorou asked appreciatively.

"Well, Bao'er guards the osmanthus tree here every year, and then picks a few of the most blooming and beautiful osmanthus flowers, washes and dries, and keeps it for Brother Rui to make tea for him when he comes, Brother Rui likes to drink Bao'er's osmanthus tea the most." Bao'er said sweetly, and it could be seen that he was very excited tonight.

"Little ghost, aren't you going to sleep soon?" Li Rui also sat down and began to drink tea.

"No, Bao'er wants to play with Brother Rui. On weekdays, Bao'er and grandpa are here, so lonely. Bao'er blinked, he was indeed reluctant to leave here.

"What about Bao'er's grandfather?" Su Xiaorou asked after hearing this, since she came here, she had only seen Bao'er, a child, and the rest seemed to be empty.

"Grandpa goes out, every year at the beginning of September, Grandpa will go out, and Brother Rui will also come here to play with Bao'er." Boa said.

"Okay, your brother Rui, I will have a good night with you today, what you say you want to play, you want three people to play." Li Rui said.

"I'm going to play chess. I'm going to get the chessboard! Bao'er said excitedly, and jumped downstairs.

He quickly returned upstairs, and what he was holding turned out to be a pair of jade Go.

At that moment, the three of them set up a chess game, Li Rui and Bao'er played the next game first, and after several rounds of back and forth, Li Rui won easily.

Then Su Xiaorou and Bao'er played against each other, Xiaorou's chess skills were okay on weekdays, but when dealing with Bao'er's child, she was naturally a little careless.

Unexpectedly, although Bao'er lost quickly against Li Rui, she was quick to think in the face of Su Xiaorou, and the more she fought, the more fierce she became. After a few times, by the time Su Xiaorou concentrated on concentrating on the battle, the defeat was already decided, and there was no way to return to heaven.

Su Xiaorou couldn't help but smile and said, "What a smart Bao'er, my sister is willing to bow down." ”

Bao'er grinned, raised her head and said with a slight meaning: "Hehe, this is all taught to me by Brother Rui." ”

"Finally, you little devil still remember that I taught you." Li Rui touched Bao'er's round head, but a pair of eyes looked at Su Xiaorou with a smile.

Su Xiaorou was also looking at Li Rui at the moment, and the two of them looked at each other, as if they both felt a little different from usual.

Xiao Rou panicked, and quickly lowered her eyes: "How many times can Brother Rui teach you in a year?" It's not that Bao'er herself is talented and smart, so she can play so well. ”

"Haha, Sister Comb, Bao'er likes to listen to you. Let's play chess again, I'm going to play again. Bao'er's face was even more proud, and she pulled Su Xiaorou to play chess.

So the two set up a chess game again and fought fiercely.

Li Rui watched the two play with great interest on the side, and from time to time he gave the two of them some guidance, which was also very happy.

After a night of hard fighting, the three of them were full of energy and did not show any drowsiness. Before you know it, the eastern sky is already clouded.

Looking at the two people who were still playful, Li Rui reminded: "Little comb, do you want to rush back at dawn?" ”

Su Xiaorou was startled, and then saw that the sky was already white, and quickly stood up and said, "Of course I have to go back, I still have a lot of things to do during the day." ”

At this time, she thought of the crown princess in the palace who didn't know who it was, and her mood couldn't help but be heavy.

"Bao'er, we're leaving, grandpa comes back and tells him that Brother Rui misses him very much, and will come over to drink with him one day." Li Rui patted Bao'er's face affectionately.

"Well, next time remember to bring Sister Comb too, I still want to play chess with Sister Comb." Bao'er nodded sensibly, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Then I'll have to ask your comb sister if she would like to come with me." Li Rui smiled and went to see Su Xiaorou again.

Bao'er also looked at Su Xiaorou with anticipation, Su Xiaorou hurriedly leaned down and fragrant Xiangbao'er's face: "Sister Comb will definitely remember to come to see Bao'er again and play chess with Bao'er." ”

The three of them went down the bamboo building together, and Bao'er sent the two of them outside the bamboo forest until she reluctantly waved goodbye to them.

Li Rui took Su Xiaorou all the way, and soon returned to the palace. The sky was still not bright, and the hazy morning mist revealed a faint coolness of mid-autumn.

Thinking of some of the troubles she had to face when she returned to the palace, Su Xiaorou couldn't help but say to Li Rui: "If you can always live in a quiet and elegant place like a bamboo forest, it would be a pleasure." ”

"It's easy, I can take you there whenever you want. I can even live there with you. Li Rui smiled slightly, and it was his characteristic teasing tone.

Su Xiaorou glared at Li Rui lightly: "Why does the second prince always like to tell jokes with the little comb." ”

"I swear to God, I didn't tell you a joke, I mean it." Li Rui said seriously.

While speaking, the two had already arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace, Su Xiaorou stopped, ready to say thank you to Li Rui and then say goodbye.

But suddenly I heard a voice suddenly sound: "Second Emperor Brother, little comb, you haven't returned all night, have you had a lot of fun?" ”

The two of them went along the prestige, and saw the crown prince Li Mo standing proudly, standing on the porch of the Taihe Palace, looking at them with strange expressions.

He has changed out of yesterday's wedding dress, and is wearing a goose-yellow coat and gown at the moment, looking particularly handsome and free, and graceful.

When Su Xiaorou saw the prince, her heart jumped suddenly for some reason.

Then she found that she and Li Rui were still holding hands at the moment, and after Li Rui took her to the ground just now, both of them forgot to let go.

She hurriedly stepped back to the side and tried to withdraw her hand, but Li Rui grabbed her delicate little hand more forcefully, making her unable to get out.

Su Xiaorou panicked, her fair little face began to burn red again, but she didn't know how to explain it to the prince.

"Haha, Brother Huang, last night was the day of your marriage, the candles in the cave room, and the spring night was short. Why did you get up so early today, surely it wasn't to ask me if I had a lot of fun with the little comb, right? Li Rui laughed, looked at Li Mo and said.

O(∩_∩)O~ Roar, ask for all kinds of support power!
