"I'm fine, I drank less than the crown princess last night, but I was dizzy at the time, and now I sleep much better." Su Xiaorou smiled embarrassedly and followed Li Mo into the door of the study.

The two of them were in the study, which was a very common thing. For a long time, Li Mo sat at the desk to read and write or review the recitals, while Su Xiaorou stayed on the side to help deal with some idle affairs.

But today, both of them felt that something was different from usual.

Although no one spoke, the hearts of the two people were churning like fierce waves like a surging river.

Li Mo opened the recital, but he felt that he couldn't read a word, and all that was in his mind was the fragrant and sweet smell when Su Xiaorou leaned on him and fell asleep last night.

And Su Xiaorou also vaguely remembered that she seemed to fall asleep on Li Mo's chest last night, and the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. However, deep in her heart, she clearly cherishes the warm and down-to-earth feeling when she leans on the prince.

"Prince, I'm sorry I worried you last night." Su Xiaorou broke the silence and said softly.

"Don't say I'm sorry, I just hope that if you want to go out in the future, you won't come back too late." Li Mo woke up from that sweet memory, paused slightly, and then continued: "Because of that, it will really worry me. ”

"Got it, Prince, we wouldn't have been too late yesterday. It's just that there was some trouble in the middle and there was a delay. Su Xiaorou remembered that she was arrested yesterday, and she still couldn't help but be afraid.

"Oh? What's the trouble? The prince's expression was grim, and he looked at Su Xiaorou and asked.

"This ...... We were drinking tea in the teahouse, and suddenly the crown princess was taken away by some unknown people, and it was said that the person they wanted to arrest looked very similar to the crown princess. Su Xiaorou hesitated for a moment, and briefly recounted what happened to Nian Nian being arrested yesterday.

"How could such a thing happen! So how did you get the princess back? Li Mo was furious when he heard this, and asked again.

"Later, the second prince and I found it, it seems to be a sect called Youlong Pavilion. They also found out that they had caught the wrong person, so they released the princess, and then we went to eat and drink together on the street. Su Xiaorou said, remembering that she was drunk in front of the prince last night, and she felt quite embarrassed in her heart.

"Dragon Pavilion?" Li Mo groaned and fell into thought.

"I heard that they are very powerful, what kind of secret weapons and poisons." Su Xiaorou hurriedly added, she thought that the prince didn't know what kind of organization You Long Pavilion was.

"The hidden weapon and medicine are the best in the world, of course I know." Li Mo chuckled, then looked at Su Xiaorou and said, "Little comb, I didn't expect you to encounter such a dangerous thing yesterday, it's best not to leave the palace at will in the future." Or tell me when you leave the palace, I will arrange for Han Qi to follow you, he has high martial arts and a high brain, so he can also take care of you, and it will be safer. ”

"Thank you, the prince, but the second prince's martial arts are also very high, if it weren't for those women who used the magic medicine yesterday, they wouldn't have been able to beat the second prince at all, and they wouldn't have been able to arrest the princess at all." Su Xiaorou hurriedly said that Li Rui's performance yesterday really opened her eyes to Niannian.

"I know that the second emperor's martial arts are very strong, but the outside world is complicated, and all kinds of unexpected situations may be encountered. Listening to you talk about yesterday's events, I can't rest assured that you are leaving the palace again, and after all, I have more strength with Han Qi. Li Mo said in a deep voice.

"Prince, if you don't want us to go out of the palace often, then we will try not to go out in the future, okay?" Su Xiaorou looked at the prince, and her voice became soft.

"I didn't say that I wouldn't let you go out, a young girl like you will inevitably get bored if you stay in the palace all day long, and you should go out of the palace to play appropriately. Be sure to stay safe, though. Also, if you encounter something like yesterday, you'd better come back and let me know, and I'll send someone to look for it with you. If you rush to the Dragon Pavilion like you did yesterday, it will be even more troublesome if you encounter a gang that is not so easy to talk to. Maybe instead of saving the crown princess, you will be trapped yourself. After a moment of silence, Li Mo said.

At this time, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if something really happened to the little comb yesterday and he didn't come back. He must have been anxious, fidgeting, and looking around like crazy.

"Okay, little comb remembered, thank you prince for your concern." Su Xiaorou saw that the prince's expression was serious, and every word revealed his heartfelt concern, and her heart had already been deeply moved.

Since Nian Nian Xiaorou went out to get drunk with the second prince that day, the second prince Li Rui has come to the Taihe Hall more often.

In the past, he came here just to see the little comb, but now he has a new task, that is, when he comes, he must chat with Nian Nian in the south and the north and the sky.

Meng Niannian also likes to listen to the second prince talk about some interesting or bizarre things, the two of them chatted, and often Niannian would say: "Li Rui, your martial arts are so high, you teach me, be my master." ”

With this period of acquaintance, she has long been accustomed to calling Li Rui by his first name.

Li Rui will answer with a smile at this time: "Okay, you first give the master three cups of apprenticeship tea, squat for two hours every day, tie a sandbag for one hour, and persist for three months, and then I will teach you to change to a new practice." ”

And Su Xiaorou would look at the two of them coquettishly and smile: "Princess, you don't really want to practice martial arts, right?" Second prince, don't really teach her to practice martial arts, throughout the ages, where is there a princess who can fight? ”

"I'm just going to be the princess who can fight. After practicing kung fu, I can still protect you with a little comb, and we won't be afraid of anyone bullying when we go out in the future. Nian Nian grinned, and really squatted up and walked decently, which attracted Li Rui and Xiaorou, who were watching from the sidelines, to laugh happily.

The friendship between several young people has become deeper and deeper unconsciously, and with the second prince who loves to talk and laugh, he often chats and amuses the two of them by his side, and his mood gradually brightens up a lot, and he quietly buries the deep nostalgia and pain for Su Junchu in his heart for the time being.

Summer is upon us in the blink of an eye, and the sun becomes like a great furnace hanging in the air, scorching the ground violently all day long.

There is no trace of wind in the air, and sweat stains will burst out when people move slightly, and the squeaky cicadas make people feel even hotter.

Meng Niannian couldn't sit still in the palace again, if it was in the modern era when she hadn't crossed yet, she would have gone out with her classmates in this season and swam in the cool and comfortable swimming pool several times.

But now in ancient times, where would she still have the opportunity to find a pool that was cool to the bone?

Every day, she thinks that it would be nice if she could go out for a swim.

On this afternoon, I watched the scorching sun outside the house and listened to the shrill cicadas in the trees. Nian Nian finally couldn't help it, took a set of clothes to change inside and out, and ran to call Xiaorou.

She thought about it, there were several pools with clear water and quiet water in the imperial garden, so she and Xiaorou found the most hidden pool and had a fun time playing in the water.

Anyway, it's the afternoon after lunch, everyone has to take a lunch break, the palace is quiet everywhere, and there will be no one in the imperial garden.

As soon as she saw Xiao Rou, Nian Nian said excitedly: "Xiao Rou, quickly pack a set of clothes, let's go swimming in the imperial garden." ”

"Swimming? What are you doing? Xiao Rou looked at Nian Nian in confusion.

"It's just to go to the pool to swim in the water, you see the weather, it's so hot that people are about to melt away, and it's very comfortable to swim in the water like a fish." Nian Nian hurriedly explained.

"Niannian, where did you know so many new words?" Xiao Rou glanced at Nian Nian strangely, and then said, "Swimming, I don't dare." Besides, where are girls playing in the water, what if they are seen? ”

"Oh, Xiaorou, there are not a single ghost in the Imperial Garden now. Don't worry, I'm here, swimming is easy to learn, I'll teach you to learn it at once. Besides, I'll keep you swimming once today, so I'll want to go every day from now on. Swimming in the summer is really cool and comfortable, and it can also exercise your good-looking body to look better. Nian Nian said with a grin.

"Really?" Xiao Rou looked at Nian Nian with suspicion and a little admiration.

She was a little scared, but when she heard Niannian say that she was so good at swimming, she couldn't help but be eager to try it in her heart. She was a little envious of knowing so many new things she had never heard of before.

"Yes, yes, yes, you can just try it. Miss, don't bother, pick up your clothes and come with me. Nian Nian said several yes in a row, urging Xiaorou to leave quickly.

So Xiaorou also packed up her clothes and followed Nian Nian to the Imperial Garden.

Out of the Taihe Palace, the two sisters braved the scorching sun, chatting while walking, talking and laughing, and they didn't even feel that the hot weather was far away and the heat was unbearable.

At this time, I saw two figures walking towards me, and when I got closer, it was the third prince Li You and one of his entourage.

Nian Nian and Xiao Rou have always been very disgusted with this absurd and shameless third prince, and they almost never talk to him when they meet him on weekdays.

At this time, they met Li You in a narrow way, and both of them subconsciously felt unhappy in their hearts, especially Xiao Rou, when she saw Li You, she couldn't help but hide behind Nian Nian.

Li You also saw them, so he stepped forward and gave Nian Nian a salute, and said with a smile: "Li You has seen the imperial sister-in-law, where is the imperial sister-in-law going?" ”
