289. A strange thing happened when I left the palace
"Aren't you a man now? Do you still think of yourself as a little woman who stays at home? Li Rui looked Xiao Su Xiaorou up and down, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes.
Su Xiaorou thought that she had indeed been a man for almost a year now, and couldn't help but laugh softly, and then said, "I want to go, but you have to promise me to invite the crown princess to go out of the palace with us." ”
"What? Bring the crown princess? Little comb, are you mistaken? The crown princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, how could she go to such a place with us? How could she go with us to that kind of place? Unless she also becomes a man like you, but how is that possible? Little comb, you don't talk nonsense. Li Rui's eyes widened in surprise at Su Xiaorou's words.
"You haven't tried it, how do you know she won't go. Sue you, with what I know about her, she's going to go, and I'm afraid she's even more eager to go out than we do. As long as you go and ask her, she can dress up as a man like me. Su Xiaorou smiled lightly.
Yes, Nian Nian has always been a more playful girl than her, with such an opportunity to go out of the palace and have fun, can she not grasp it firmly?
"What the hell is going on with you and the crown princess? How do you know her like a family? Li Rui asked with a little confusion.
"Hehe, didn't I sue you? I used to work in their house, and I have known the crown princess since I was a child, and our relationship is so good, just like sisters. Xiao Rou leaned close to Li Rui and whispered, she felt that there was no need to hide too much from this second prince, anyway, she seemed to have a natural unwarranted trust in him.
"No wonder you used to always ask about the crown princess. Well, I'll ask the princess to go out with us as you wish. But if she doesn't agree, then don't blame me. Li Rui suddenly realized, but he was still skeptical about whether the crown princess was willing to go out with them.
"You can go and ask for it, I promise she won't let you touch the nail. Go ahead, she's in the house right now. Xiao Rou smiled and urged Li Rui to act quickly.
After not talking to Nian Nian for a few days, Su Xiaorou's heart was almost suffocated. Of course she now hopes that Li Rui will hurry up and call Nian Nian out, and the two good sisters, who were once close, will naturally reconcile as soon as they meet.
"Okay, okay, Xiaosheng obeys." Li Rui smiled and agreed, turned around and walked towards the main hall of the Taihe Palace.
Nian Nian was also sitting in the room thinking about Xiaorou at this time, and after a while, she thought of Su Junchu, she was even more upset than Su Xiaorou just now.
But I heard Zhuzhu report: "Crown princess, the second prince said that he was looking for you for something." ”
"Second prince? What is the matter with him looking for me? Nian Nian was slightly stunned, and said to Zhuzhu, "Please let him in." ”
"Hello sister-in-law." As soon as Li Rui entered the door, he bowed respectfully to Nian Nian.
"Hello Second Emperor, please take a seat." Nian Nian said lightly, she still didn't have a good impression of the second prince who laughed at her wrestling that day.
"I won't sit down, Li Rui came to see the imperial sister-in-law today, mainly to invite the crown princess to go out of the palace with us." Li Rui looked at Niannian's lukewarm appearance, knowing that she was still thinking about the events of that day, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still said bluntly.
"Out of the palace to play? Wow, that's great, with you guys? Who is it? Nian Nian listened to Li Rui's words and suddenly became excited, and his previous depressed mood was swept away, and he stood up and walked in front of Li Rui and asked.
"Me and the little comb." Li Rui said with a light smile.
He saw that Nian Nian was refreshed in a blink of an eye, and became like two people who looked depressed just now, and thought to himself that the little comb was really not wrong, this princess seemed to be more active in going out of the palace to play than us.
"Little comb, haha, I said, is that going now?" Nian Nian's heart is even happier, what could be happier than going out with Xiaorou?
"yes, I'll leave right away. You can't go out in this outfit, though. Li Rui felt that the crown princess was still like a child, and her joys, angers, sorrows and joys changed quickly in her. But seeing her character so straightforward and refreshing, he still had a good impression of this princess who was not familiar with before.
"I know, I'm going to change my clothes right away, I can dress up like a little comb. You wait for me, hehe, I'll be soon. Nian Nian said yes and ran into the back room as quickly as he could.
When she married into the palace, she specially brought the men's clothes she wore when she was in Su Mansion, just in case of emergency, and now it can finally come in handy.
While changing her clothes, she couldn't help but boast about herself in her heart: Meng Niannian, you are so smart, you are too prescient, otherwise it would be difficult to go out today.
When Niannian cleaned up and stopped, a handsome and handsome young man appeared in front of Zhuzhu, and Zhuzhu who was watching next to him was stunned.
Nian Nian didn't pay attention to Zhuzhu's surprised gaze, and only briefly explained to her that she might come back late today, so she excitedly ran out of the door to meet Xiaorou Li Rui.
As soon as the two sisters met, they hugged each other and laughed, and the awkwardness that had been in their hearts for a few days disappeared at once.
So the two talked and laughed and followed Li Rui out of the palace, and along the way, they left Li Rui, the second prince, aside.
Li Rui looked at the two innocent girls wearing men's clothes, holding hands and talking and laughing, looking delicate and elegant and intimate, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: It's really like a pair of top sister flowers.
He looked at the two lovely girls with admiration, and smiled from time to time to remind them not to snub him as a guide.
Nian Nian and Xiao Rou are people who have not been out of the palace for a long time to visit the street, at this time walking in the bustling and lively streets of the capital, naturally it is exciting and novel, the two of them keep looking around, chattering and talking.
The three of them were strolling leisurely, when they heard a noise behind them, and the crowd dispersed, and a wide road was made in the middle of the noisy street.
I saw several tall and handsome white horses roaring towards them, and on each white horse sat a girl dressed in white and snow. The white dress is lined with white horses, and each girl looks heroic and majestic, and immediately becomes an eye-catching scenery on the whole street.
But the women did not stop, nor did they pay attention to the sideways and chatter of the passers-by on the road, and rode their horses and whipped all the way forward.
Nian Nian and Xiao Rou were stunned, and when the horses and girls had gone away, Nian Nian woke up and shouted enviously: "So handsome, wow, beautiful girls in the rivers and lakes, they are all martial arts masters and chivalrous girls!" is like Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it's too awesome! It would be nice if I could also do martial arts. ”
Xiao Rou looked at Nian Nian in surprise: "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. ”
Nian Nian grinned and said, "Don't you think those girls are very powerful just now?" Don't you envy them? ”
"I think they might be very powerful, but I don't envy them because I don't like to fight and kill." Xiao Rou said disapprerovingly.
At this time, Li Rui smiled slightly: "Let's go quickly, I think the Yongxing Tea House will be very lively today." ”
Li Rui took Nian Nian and Xiaorou and soon came to the largest teahouse in the capital - Yongxing Tea House.
Nian Nian saw that the teahouse Zhu Pavilion heavy eaves, simple and elegant, gorgeous and solemn, really magnificent. A shining gold-lettered signboard "Yongxing Tea House" hangs in the center of the top of the main entrance of the tea house, which is particularly eye-catching.
Walking into the teahouse, I saw a large number of tea customers and cheerful voices, obviously this is indeed a place where business is extremely prosperous.
Seeing Li Rui and them come in, Xiao Er hurriedly and respectfully welcomed the three of them to a private seat in the middle of the teahouse and sat down, facing the big stage of the teahouse in front of him, at this time there was a man and a woman babbling and singing ancient operas on the stage.
Niannian took a look at it and felt that it was a bit like the tone of Huangmei Opera that she had seen in modern times, but she still couldn't understand it, and only heard bursts of warm cheers from the crowd drinking tea in the audience from time to time.
Because it is a modern girl who has crossed over, Niannian is very comfortable sitting here, and I feel that there is tea and snacks, and there are operas, songs and dances to watch, which is really much more comfortable and enjoyable than staying in the palace, and I am very happy for a while.
But Su Xiaorou is different, she has always been everyone's girlfriend, and she has hardly been to such a lively and noisy place when she used to go shopping except to see rouge gouache and silk satin.
Therefore, she sat here as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and she seemed quite uncomfortable, and she did not like this kind of noisy occasion.
"Second prince, should we change positions? It's so conspicuous here. Su Xiaorou finally couldn't help it and said softly to Li Rui.
"This is the position reserved for us by the boss, and it is the best place to watch plays and listen to books, why don't you like it? Rest assured, everyone is listening attentively, and no one will pay special attention to us. Li Rui comforted Xiaorou.
"Yes, little comb, this position is the best, you can watch the play with peace of mind, and slowly you will get used to it." Nian Nian shook Xiao Rou's hand and smiled encouragingly at her.
"Oh, Second Prince, why do you say that Yongxing Tea House will be very lively today?" After listening to the words of the two, Xiao Rou felt a little better, but she still couldn't help the curiosity in her heart.
"Yongxing Tea House has always been the favorite place for people from the rivers and lakes to gather when they come to the capital, and the women we just saw are from afar. If I'm not mistaken, they'll be here later. Li Rui smiled, lowered his voice and said to Nian Nian and Xiaorou, as if he was confident that those women would come here.
"Huh? Second prince, will they really come? Can we enjoy a duel of martial arts masters? Listening to Li Rui's words, Nian Nian suddenly became even more excited, she was envious of those girls in white clothes just now, if she could see them here up close, it would be a great pleasure.
"Please, keep your voice quiet, now we're three sons drinking tea." Li Rui glanced at Nian Nian remindingly, and then continued: "I am sure that they will definitely come, but I can't guess what they are doing here." ”
Nian Nian smiled embarrassedly and fell silent.
She turned her head to watch the performance on the stage, but she couldn't help but glance at the door of the teahouse every once in a while, and even looked forward to the women in white really appearing in front of the door.
When he was looking around, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door of the teahouse.
Nian Nian hurriedly fixed his eyes, and saw that the white-clothed women he had met before were really turning over and dismounting, stopping the white horse outside the door and tying it up, and then walked into the teahouse.
At this time, the people in the entire teahouse also stopped paying attention to the wonderful performance on the stage, and turned their faces to look at them together.
Nian Nian couldn't help but smack his tongue at Li Rui in admiration: "Hey, you really got it right." ”
Li Rui smiled noncommittally, his eyes were firmly fixed on the few eye-catching women, and he whispered to Nian Nian and Xiaorou: "I don't know what their origin is, and what is the purpose of coming here?" Let's leave it aside for a while, let's wait and see. ”
Nian Nian and Xiao Rou nodded, and neither spoke anymore. However, the eyes of the two were still uncontrollably attracted to the women, and they kept looking at them.
The women were awe-inspiring, and they didn't care at all about the attention and whispers of the people around them.
Without squinting, they walked straight to a secluded table in the far corner and sat down.
A woman who seemed to be a little older among them summoned Xiao Er and ordered him to bring him a pot of high-quality rose tea and two seasonal fruit platters, and the women all looked cold and proud.
Niannian's eyes have been closely following them, and his heart is full of curiosity and envy.
She secretly thought to herself: Maybe they want to arrest a Jiangyang thief or find a martial arts enemy, maybe they can really open their eyes today and see a wonderful scene like that in a classic martial arts drama? Wow, that's so much to look forward to.
She was excitedly fantasizing about what might be on the horizon, and she couldn't help but make eye contact with one of the women.
When the woman saw Nian Nian, a look of utter surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly whispered something to a few of her companions at the table.
In an instant, the eyes of those women were all focused on the table where Nian Nian was sitting. To be precise, it was all concentrated on Meng Niannian alone.
And the same expression was clearly written on each of their faces at this time, both surprised and excited, as if to say: We have finally found you after stepping through the iron shoes.
At this time, Xiao Er greeted them warmly, and brought them fragrant rose tea and fresh fruit platters to their table, but the women barely glanced at the things they had just asked for, but stood up in unison and walked briskly towards the place where Nian Nian was sitting.
