Ruyue lifted the curtain in the carriage and gave up the idea of communicating with him, the road became more and more muddy, the surrounding houses became more and more dilapidated, and people's clothes became more and more shabby.

About two hours, when he finally arrived at his destination, Ruyue got up and was about to get out of the car, but he suddenly pulled her: "If you come here to inquire about his news, I'm afraid the princess will be disappointed, if there is really someone in this world who can make him worry, then it is only you." His words sounded very lonely for no reason, Ruyue just wanted to speak, but he got out of the car first, Ruyue was stunned for a moment, and also got out of the car with him, but the scene in front of her stunned her, large and small dilapidated houses, some obviously have big holes in the roof, there are already people standing around, the clothes are worn out so that people can't distinguish the color, women's faces are not powdered, hair is not decorated, and some of the children's shoes are obviously not fit, and there are big holes.

"Brother Shimin is here." The little ones cheered, "Did you bring us something to eat?" ”

"Of course." He didn't care that he was dressed in fine clothes, he leaned down and picked up a child, kissed his dirty little face, and soon, his bright yellow robe was dirty.

"There are beautiful sisters." The children found Ruyue, surrounded her, and reached out to pull her, but she subconsciously dodged, and immediately there was an old man's scolding, and he hurriedly apologized to me: "Don't care, girl, the child is naughty, don't dirty the girl's clothes." ”

"I-" Ruyue couldn't say a word in embarrassment.

"Come on, Brother Shimin, there is something delicious." He opened the bag full of leftovers, and the children immediately scrambled for it.

"This is what my beautiful sister brought to you, she likes you as much as Brother Shimin." He winked proudly at Ruyue, and Ruyue was at a loss.

He walked to Ruyue's side: "In order to create the illusion of national peace and security, the local officials did not allow these displaced people to enter the city, so they had to live in this kind of place. ”

"Isn't this Li Yuan's responsibility?" Ruyue looked at him incomprehensibly.

"If it's just Taiyuan." He paused, his eyes complicated, "It's like this everywhere, what can my father do?" I can only obey the order."

"Obey? Do you mean Yang Guang's idea? Ruyue asked him.

"The princess is really the holy heart and liver royal sister, does she have to see the holy decree to believe it?"

Ruyue wanted to say something, but the corner of her skirt was pulled by a little girl, and her little face was dirty.

"Don't you like to eat?" He crouched on the ground and stroked her head.

"Niu Niu don't want to eat it." Xu is too young, her speech is slurred, and her voice is milky, "Brother will bring a beaded flower to Niuniu next time." ”

"Niuniu is still young, so she doesn't need beads." He patiently coaxed the little girl in front of him.

"Niu Niu don't." The little girl's eyes were watery, as clear as a deer in the back garden. "Niuniu gives it to A-Niang, and Daddy won't dislike A-Niang, and he won't want Niuniu."

Ruyue's heart was sour, and she took out the plum blossom hairpin from her head, put it in the little girl, and said, "Go, take it to your mother." The little girl left happily.

Ruyue straightened up: "I really can't imagine that I thought that the second son was a rich kid, and he was willing to be wronged to such an extent for these homeless people." ”

"Only here can I hear the truest voice and see what the world is like."

Li Shimin is very close to everyone here, teaching the old man to make tea and grow vegetables, teaching the strong to repair the house and repair the wall, teaching the young to write and dance the sword, Ruyue stood beside him, watching him high-spirited, the sun plated his figure with a layer of golden light, if the young man is not in the pool, and it coincides with the mediocrity of the Son of Heaven, the people are not happy, the world is in chaos, everyone knows what will happen in the future, but Ruyue suddenly wants to ask him: If you use your freedom to use your eyebrows and your brothers and sisters to exchange for this world, will you regret it?

The sound of horses' hooves was particularly crisp in the dark night, the red lanterns outside the palace were getting clearer and clearer, and the winter flowers were already holding a cloak at the door and waiting like the moon.

The carriage finally stopped, and there was already a small servant squatting down to wait, Ruyue stepped on his back, and Donghua immediately put a cloak on me.

The people in the car lifted the curtains, and their whole bodies were exposed to the cold night of early spring.

"You're here for him, aren't you?" No one spoke, and his voice was unusually cold, and it was somewhat similar to the man.

Ruyue didn't answer him, didn't turn around and walked forward slowly, and when she reached the gate, she turned to the groom and ordered, "Send the second son to where he is going." ”

"Where did the princess go with the second son today? Let the slave and maid worry. "Entering the house, going to the cloak, Donghua asked Ruyue worriedly.

"I didn't go anywhere, I looked at it casually." Ruyue didn't want to say more, and asked again, "Is the matter done?" ”

"The eldest grandson girl is just a rich girl raised in the boudoir, and she can't say a word when she reaches the officialdom." Donghua nodded, "Fortunately, the slave maid has been following the princess for a long time, and the career of officialdom has been understood." It's just-" Donghua paused for a moment and continued, "After all, the saint doesn't allow the princess to reveal her identity, so it's not easy to meddle in things, the girl still let the third young master take it back, but the third young master promised to bury her father, and she also wanted to eat, so she followed the third young master back." ”

"What does the government say?"

"The slave maid only said that the officials in Chang'an were passing by here, and they happened to meet Lu to see him, but the county order didn't dare to ask more."

"That's good." Ruyue took out a night pearl and fiddled with it casually, "There is no handle left." ”

"It's just that the eldest grandson girl is frightened." Donghua said, "The whole person is hot and hot, and I sent the eldest grandson to frighten a group of people." And—" Donghua said in a hurry.

"When will you learn to buy a relationship with me?" Ruyue teased Donghua and said.

"She was still worried about the second son of the Tang family with a fever-" Donghua seemed to have made up her mind and continued to persuade Ruyue, "The slave maid listened to the princess's tone just now, presumably she came to Taiyuan to look for the second son for General Mu's sake-princess, if you don't like the second son, why bother to hurt the heart of the eldest grandson?" ”

"What if you like it?" Ruyue asked rhetorically.

"This-" Winter Flower was gone, her face pale.

"Donghua, you have followed me since childhood, and I am also close to you." Ruyue put down the night pearl and tried to calm her mouth as much as possible, "It's okay to tell you, sometimes I don't know what I'm doing, but I know that I want to do this, I want to do this, my heart-even I can't control it-"

Winter Flower was silent again in a dim cold light, and at some point, she became like the moon, her brows were full of sorrow, and since that person left, she would never laugh innocently again.

"If you have time, take the unused furnishings in this hall to the pawnshop and sell them." Ruyue was silent for a while and changed the subject.

"Yes." Donghua didn't ask much, and lowered her gaze.

"Go down." Ruyue looked listless at her, didn't say much, and waved her hand to let her go down.
