Chapter 21 The temple fair in the south of the city

Back to the palace it was already dark, Li Luo got out of the carriage, walked in from the side door of the east side of the palace, the palace guards and the guards of the gate have become commonplace, over the years Li Luo often drank and had fun outside, often had to come back after the evening, and the beautiful maid will definitely wait on the stone steps outside the east gate, no matter the wind or rain, and when Li Luo comes back, he will follow in, these guards secretly regret it, pity a person like a flower and jade, and it is very gratifying that Li Luo will return to the palace every night, did not let this delicate woman look forward to it.

Li Luo glanced at Su Xue, ignored it, and walked straight in. Su Xue didn't say anything, stood up, patted the dust on her body, and followed Li into the palace.

Qingxin Building.

Li Luo sat at the table, leaned back slightly, avoided the candlelight in front of him, watched Su Xue make tea in the house, make tea, clean up the couch, and then brought the brewed tea and some fruit snacks to Li Luo, standing quietly aside, waiting for Li Luo's orders. Day after day, year after year, since a few years ago, when he went out and returned late, Su Xue would wait outside the east gate every time, without persuasion or blame, and would prepare tea and snacks every time, quiet like Li Luo's shadow.

Suddenly, Li Luo asked, "I wasn't as tall as you five years ago, right?" ”

Su Xue thought for a while and said, "When I first saw the little prince, I should have been a little lower than the slave and maid, but now I am much higher than the slave and maid, and I should be as tall as the prince." ”

"Well, it's been five years, and in a few days I'll be crowned, sixteen years old, either in the army or as an official, alas. How old are you? ”

"The slave has just turned twenty this year."

"Two decades, it's really a good age, but trapped in this palace surrounded by walls." Li Luo sighed slightly and continued: "When I go out in the future, you don't have to wait for me at the gate of the East Gate." ”

Suxue snorted, but there was no squeak. Li Luo looked at Su Xue, but Su Xue was stubborn, just like the immature face that stopped him five years ago. As if something was blocking his heart, he couldn't breathe, Li Luo stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and said, "If I come back late, you should go to bed early, don't wait here." ”

Su Xue blinked and said, "Little Lord, why are you so reluctant to stay in the palace now?" Still can't let go of Luo'er's business? It's been all these years, little prince. ”

Li Luo looked at Su Xue, and said in a cold tone: "Hugh is presumptuous!" I am the little prince of Prince Chun's mansion, and I can do whatever I want. Ha, today I also saw the soft moon of the head of the three immortals of Chunjiang under the moon, and he is a stunning person, and tomorrow I will go to see if the purple and condensation of the second boat of Chunjiang are as rumored. ”

"Little prince, you are just running away, how can you escape for a lifetime?" Su Xue said with tears in her eyes.

"Shut up! Tracing the snow, you are getting bolder. Li Luo said angrily, took a sip of the teacup, and barely controlled his emotions.

"Little prince, five years ago, although you were young, you were more responsible than now, how could you be like this?"

Li Luo was furious, raised his hand and threw the teacup on the ground, the teacup shattered to the ground, and shards were scattered everywhere. Li Luo laughed wildly: "What do I look like? Tracing the snow, you say, what am I like? Is it looking for flowers and asking willows, oppressing the people, and fish and meat in the township? Hmph, the four young people in Wangcheng are just the four tyrants of Wangcheng in the eyes of others. ”

Su Xue didn't speak, squatted down to pick up the fragments of the teacup, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

Li Luo kicked the pieces away and shouted, "Don't pick it up, go back to your own house." Who are you? Why do you bring me tea and water? ”

Su Xue stood up and looked at Li Luo, tears kept flowing. Li Luo said coldly: "Go out, don't come in again tonight, it's okay if you don't come in the future." ”

"Yes, little prince." Su Xue whimpered, picked up a few large pieces, and retreated.

Li Luo sat down heavily on the chair, picked the wick with a pickle, and was stunned for a moment.

Speechless all night.

At noon the next day, Li Luo had just woken up, and Su Xue came in to serve Li Luo to wash, his eyes were still red, and he must have cried last night. Li Luo hastily cleaned it up and instructed Su Xuedao: "You ask the kitchen to bring me a few dishes of side dishes, and some porridge, be quick." ”

Su Xue bit her lip and asked, "Little Wangye, but you still want to go out?" ”

Li Luo replied without raising his head: "Hmm." ”

"Where is the little prince going?" Suxue then asked.

"South of the city."

"Little Prince, the market vendors in the south of the city, there are all kinds of pawns in labor clothes, such a messy place, what did you do in the past, little prince?"

Li Luo raised his head at this time and said with a little impatience: "There is a temple fair there, I asked a few friends to go over to play, and besides, I will bring a few guards over, nothing will happen." ”

"Temple fair?" Su Xue was slightly stunned.

"Why, you want to go too?" Li Luo glanced at Su Xue strangely.

"The slave still won't go, although she brought the guards, but the little prince should be more careful on the road."

"Hmm." Li Luo lowered his gaze and didn't look at Su Xue again.

After pulling out a few mouthfuls of food, Li Luo hurriedly went out of the palace, hurried out, and just walked half away from the east gate, but saw Concubine Xuan and Concubine Lan standing on the side of the road and didn't know what they were saying, seeing Li Luo hurriedly coming, stopped talking, and looked at Li Luo together. Li Luo couldn't dodge, so he had to step forward and say, "Aunt Xuan, Aunt Lan is fine." ”

"Lou'er, where are you going in such a hurry?" Concubine Lan asked.

"There's a temple fair in the south of the city, I'll go there to have fun and come back in a while."

Concubine Lan frowned and said, "Lou'er, recently Mr. said that you often don't go to homework, but is there such a thing?" ”

"How can there be such a thing, it must be misinformed by others, I just went out once or twice."

"Then did you take a leave of absence from Mr. today?"

"If you have that kung fu, you have to go to the west room. Aunt Lan, this temple fair is this once a year, it is extremely lively, if Aunt Lan wants to go, I will take Aunt Lan to go over, the provincial general is depressed at home. ”

"You." Concubine Lan was angry for a while.

"Is it more lively than the spring river under the moon?" Concubine Xuan asked with a smile next to her.

"Huh? Does Aunt Xuan also know about the Spring River under the moon? Li Luo asked in surprise.

"Why, when you went, I couldn't even know?" Concubine Xuan asked.

When Concubine Lan heard that Li Luo had gone to the Spring River under the moon, her blood and qi surged up, and she didn't speak for a while.

"Oh, this one has its own liveliness, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, each is good at the field, this moon under the spring river, like everyone's beautiful girl, the sky is stunning, and this temple in the south of the city is like a small jasper, delicate and elegant, all good."

"Oh, yes? Then you have the opportunity to take Aunt Xuan to the Spring River under the moon to see these ladies. Concubine Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay, but Aunt Xuan is so stunning, I'm afraid few people can catch up with Chunjiang this month, I'm afraid I will go with Lou'er, and before this month, all the talented heroes have been attracted by Aunt Xuan's fragrance and beauty." Li Luo said with a smile.

Concubine Xuan was slightly angry, but she covered it up in an instant, and said with a smile: "Really? It's just that Aunt Xuan is an old pearl yellow, can she compare to the fairies in the spring river under the moon? ”

"How can it be, Aunt Xuan is full of Zhuocheng, how can the woman in the Spring River under the moon be compared to Aunt Xuan. In Lou'er's opinion, Aunt Xuan is still as beautiful as ever, if Lou'er can marry a lady like Aunt Xuan, it will be enough to comfort her for a lifetime. ”

"Lou'er, how can you be so presumptuous!" Concubine Lan scolded, but when she saw that Li Luo still looked at Concubine Xuan with a flirtatious face, she turned around angrily and didn't look at Li Luo again.

Concubine Xuan was also stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Li Luo saluted and said: "Two aunts, Lou'er will go first, there is a good rouge gouache, Lou'er will bring a few boxes to the aunt." Then he left and left the palace.

The remaining Concubine Lan and Concubine Xuan shook their heads helplessly. But I heard Concubine Lan say: "Lou'er wasn't like this before, why has she become so powerful recently?" ”

Concubine Xuan smiled and said: "What's the lately, don't you know, Lou'er now has the name of the four young people in Wangcheng, and Zhang Zeliu, the eldest son of the Zhang family, Yu Ying, the son of Yu Taishi, and Di Chengning, the beloved son of General Di, are causing trouble everywhere. ”

"How could Lou'er do such a thing? Sister Luo doesn't care? Concubine Lan exclaimed.

Concubine Xuan said disdainfully: "How can Concubine Luo care, as long as Lou'er is by her side, she is bullying men and women outside, and Concubine Luo will find a way to calm down, and she will never blame Lou'er for half a sentence." ”

Concubine Lan was stunned for a moment, and heard Concubine Xuan continue: "But I haven't heard of Lou'er doing anything evil, it seems that there is still some measure, just like Fang Cai, Lou'er has her own relatives and is closer to you." ”

Concubine Lan sighed slightly: "What's the use of that, the prince has become more and more dissatisfied with Lou'er over the years." ”

Concubine Xuan grinned and said, "Sister Lan, why do you care more about Lou'er than Concubine Luo, and Lou'er is not your biological son." ”

Concubine Lan blushed for a moment, and said, "Sister Xuan, why do you talk nonsense like this, how bad it is for people to hear, if you do this again, I will ignore you." With that, he turned away.

Concubine Xuan hurriedly grabbed Concubine Lan and apologized: "Okay, okay, I said it wrong, Sister Lan, don't be angry, I won't compensate you." ”

Concubine Lan was quite helpless, glanced at Concubine Xuan, and when she saw Concubine Xuan's pitiful look, she couldn't help laughing, the two laughed together, and at the end, Concubine Lan glanced at the direction Li Luo left, sighed, and was helpless, and went with Concubine Xuan.
