The next morning, Li Luo got up early, and Su Xue was helping Li Luo comb his hair in a bun, when he suddenly exclaimed. Li Luo was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Xue opened her mouth and couldn't speak, Li Luo smiled when she saw this: "What's the fuss, can't I have lice on my head?" After speaking, he got up and got dressed, and said to Su Xue, who was still in a daze: "I'm going to say hello to my mother, I won't come back at noon, so I'll go out." ”

Su Xue still stood dumbfounded, Li Luo smiled slightly: "Why don't you ask me where I'm going?" ”

"Huh?" Su Xue didn't react for a while, and when she turned her head again, Li Luo had already left the house, and Su Xue hurriedly rushed out and shouted, "Childe, you." ”

Li Luo's voice came from afar: "At noon, I'm going to see off a friend." ”

Su Xue looked at Li Luo who was gradually moving away, her back became more and more blurred, and finally a tear slowly dripped down her fair face.

Passing by the Changchun Courtyard, Li Luo walked in, standing in the path of the day, a smiling face of Luo'er appeared in front of him, Li Luo muttered: "Luo'er, you are okay, it's been five years, I have been hiding for five years, and I still haven't hidden." Luo'er, I promised to step on Ma Tiannan, but I didn't do it, will you blame me? ”

Just when Li Luo was secretly sad, a sudden exclamation came from behind: "Who are you?" How to trespass on the inner house? ”

When Li Luo heard it, it was Concubine Lan's voice, which was slightly strange, and he hurriedly settled down, turned around and smiled: "Aunt Lan, why don't you remember Lou'er when you haven't seen you for a few days?" ”

When Concubine Lan saw Li Luo turn around, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Lou'er, how are you." ”

Li Luo looked at it, but it was Concubine Lan, Concubine Xuan, and Concubine Li who rarely talked to Li Luo on weekdays. Li Luo saluted and said, "The three aunts are good." ”

The three of them all looked at Li Luo with a surprised expression, and Li Luoqi said, "Auntie, is there anything wrong with Lou'er?" ”

Concubine Xuan was surprised: "Lou'er, don't you know yourself? Your hair. ”

"Hair?" Li Luo was like falling into the clouds, and suddenly remembered that the snow was also an exclamation in the morning, and when he walked to the water's edge and looked, Li Luo was stunned, but the reflection in the stream was that the hair on one side was more white and less black, Li Luo reached out and pulled down a few and brought them to his eyes, all white silk.

The three of them glanced at each other, but they didn't know what to say, Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled: "Haha, I don't want to have so much gray hair, no wonder Aunt Lan can't recognize it." ”

Concubine Lan frowned and said, "Lou'er, how can this be?" ”

"It's okay, I think it's too tiring these days, just rest for a few days. The three aunts came to Changchun Courtyard so early, but do they want to enjoy the flowers? ”

Concubine Lan still looked distressed, and Concubine Xuan turned to smile and said, "Yes, let's take a look at this newly blooming flower tree." ”

"My aunt is elegant, but Lou'er has never worked hard to look at the beautiful garden."

Concubine Xuan's eyes rolled and asked, "I heard that Lou'er got a tanabazzard yesterday, can I let my aunt take a look?" ”

Concubine Lan complained and said, "Sister Xuan." Concubine Xuan bowed her hand and stopped Concubine Lan from speaking.

Seeing this, Li Luo smiled and said: "It's really not a coincidence, Qixia Sauvignon Lou'er has already given it away, and there will be a chance for Lou'er to help Aunt Xuan find another one in the future." ”

Concubine Xuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Really? The rouge gouache last time, Lou'er hasn't given it to her aunt yet. ”

Li Luo smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's that Lou'er is not good, I forgot." ”

Concubine Xuan giggled and said: "Rouge gouache, Lou'er will buy it for her sweetheart in the future, but if you want to have a sagignon, you must give it to your aunt." Didn't you give it to the girl of the Ling family this time? Now that it has spread all over the city, Lou'er will not hesitate to punish the Yu clan for the sake of the Ling family's girl. ”

Concubine Lan was slightly angry and said, "Concubine Xuan, why do you talk like this?" ”

Li Luo laughed, disappreliant, and said, "What happened, it just happened that day." If you get Sauvignon next time, you will give it to your aunt. After speaking, he saluted the three of them and said, "Don't disturb my aunt Yaxing, I still have to go to my mother to say goodbye." ”

Concubine Xuan nodded and replied, "Go ahead." ”

When Li Luo left, he bowed to Concubine Lan again and left the Ivy Courtyard.

Seeing that Concubine Lan was angry and didn't speak, Concubine Xuan stepped forward and squeaked a few times, and grinned: "What's the matter, I'm distressed?" ”

Concubine Lan's face turned slightly red and said: "Where is my turn to feel distressed, it's just that Sister Xuan, you are an elder, how can you care about Lou'er asking for things, and say such excessive things." ”

Concubine Xuan's eyes flashed and said, "These things, don't my Lin family have them?" ”

Lan Feiqi said: "What about you?" ”

Concubine Xuan shook her head and asked, "Lu Wei, Xiao Li, what do you think of Li Luo now?" ”

Concubine Lan didn't know what Concubine Xuan meant for a while, so she didn't answer, so she heard Concubine Li say: "It's okay, now it's much more serious than before, and the people are also cheerful, but it looks like the little prince from before." Concubine Lan also nodded.

Concubine Xuan held her forehead and sighed: "Lu Wei, what do you say, you are shrewd, why are you so confused when you meet people?" ”

Concubine Lan hurriedly asked, "Sister Xuan doesn't see it like that?" ”

"Hey, don't you call me Concubine Xuan?"

Concubine Lan pretended to be angry, turned around and ignored Concubine Xuan, Concubine Xuan turned over Concubine Lan and said, "Okay, I won't tease you." After speaking, he sighed and said: "Lou'er's thoughts, I can't see through it since five years ago, and now no one in the palace can see through what this little prince is thinking, thoughtful, ruthless and decisive, who would have thought that Lou'er has such an amazing martial arts, but in a few days, let the power of the government and the opposition Yu Taishi's family be ruined?" ”

"Where is the building now?"

Concubine Xuan smiled bitterly: "I can't see through it, it's just." ”

"Just what?" Concubine Lan asked.

"Lou'er now has a sorrow in his bones."

"Huh!?" Concubine Lan and Xiao Li looked at each other.

Concubine Lan said: "Why doesn't the prince enlighten the building?" ”

"Enlightenment?" Concubine Xuan sneered and said, "Do you still think that Lou'er is the same as before?" In the battle to quell the chaos, the prince was afraid. ”

"Afraid?" Concubine Lan was stunned, looked in the direction of Juyong Pavilion, and did not speak for a long time.

But it was said that Li Luo came to Juyong Pavilion, Luo saw Li Luo full of white hair, and couldn't help crying, Li Luo persuaded him a little to stop crying, and accompanied Luo to talk for a while, Luo also mentioned the Ling family girl, and wanted to propose to the Ling family, Li Luo laughed and laughed, and hurriedly stopped Luo.

Listening to Luo's babbling for a long time, he wanted to keep Li Luo to eat together, Li Luo hurriedly said that he still had something to do, and promised to come back for dinner, so Luo's let Li Luo leave.

Shen Shi, on the banks of the Suoshui River.

Li Luo leaned under a willow tree, looking at a lonely boat in the distance, after a while, Zhang Zeliu and Di Chengning rushed over, Li Luo saw the two walk in, straightened up, and asked, "Gone?" ”

"Gone." Zhang Zeliu responded.

"Let's go." Li Luo replied simply, "Zhuocheng is a place where there is nothing to be nostalgic for. ”

"Li Luo." Di Chengning couldn't help but say.

"Huh?"

"Why didn't you send it to Yu Ying?"

"I," Li Luo said, bowing his head, "I dare not see him." ”

Zhang Zeliu stepped forward and patted Li Luo's shoulder, and sighed: "Don't think so, Yu Ying said, he doesn't blame you, he still treats you as the fourth brother, as long as you still recognize him as the second brother." ”

Li Luo raised his head, looked at the already blurred boat in the distance, and asked, "Has everything been arranged for his family?" ”

"It's arranged, when Yu Ying and his mother go to their hometown Quzhou, I have already sent a letter to Zhizhou to pick it up in person, and then send it back to his uncle's house. Zhizhou was promoted by my father, this thing will definitely be done, you can rest assured, Yu Ying will be able to wind and rain in Quzhou in the future. ”

"Well, that's good, you don't have to go to the north with the rest of the Yu family to be displaced, you don't have to ask what happened, as long as you are safe."

After speaking, several people were silent, and after a long time, Di Chengning asked softly: "Li Luo, the shocking change in the palace was really planned by you?" ”

"It's just the right time." Li Luo said with a long breath.

"Those guards and forbidden soldiers are all you." Before Di Chengning could finish speaking, he was kicked hard by Zhang Zeliu.

Li Luo smiled: "Chengning, if it's true, are you afraid?" ”

"Afraid?" Di Chengning blushed and said, "Others are afraid of you Li Luo, but I, Di Chengning, will be afraid of you?" If you meet me, hmph, you will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth. ”

"It's just you, save it, you can't even do a poem." Zhang Zeliu glanced obliquely.

"You." Di Chengning aired.

Li Luo laughed and said, "What I said is true, do you believe it?" ”

Zhang Zeliu and Di Chengning glanced at each other, thought about it, and shook their heads in unison.

Li Luo nodded and said, "What does it have to do with truth and falsehood?" ”

The three of them all laughed, and they didn't stop for a long time, until the last one sat down holding their stomachs, but they didn't know if they remembered Yu Ying, who had left Zhuocheng.

Stopping laughing, Zhang Zeliu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk about this, where to play?" It's so close, or not. After saying that, he smiled evilly.

Li Luo said: "I won't go today, I'm a little tired, and besides, I promised my mother that I would go home for dinner." ”

Zhang Zeliu said with a rare sigh: "Also, if there is one less person, it is not the same taste as before." ”

A few people walked towards the city in a vague manner, Li Luo looked back several times, and the shadow of the sail in the distance gradually faded, and he walked farther and farther, and finally disappeared.

Cai Yaxuan.

This is the first time Li Luo has eaten with his family after the mutiny in the palace, Prince Chun's face is flat, he can't see his joy and anger, everyone is gathered around the table, no one makes a sound, and the atmosphere is depressing.

After eating, Li Luo sat on the chair and looked at Li Chengye quietly.

Li Chengye's eyes flickered a few times, dodged Li Luo, lowered his eyes and said: "Lou'er, today the emperor summoned his father into the palace and asked about what happened after you fell off the crown." ”

"Hmm." Li Luo replied respectfully.

The corner of Li Chengye's eyes moved, he took a breath, and said in a rather strange tone: "The emperor wants you to serve as a counselor in the Privy Council." ”

"What!?" Everyone in the audience exclaimed, the Privy Council counselor has always been served by one of the nine secretaries, and he is already a pivotal figure in the court, the eyes and ears of the emperor, monitoring the ministers and the situation in the Quartet, I didn't expect that Emperor Wanlong would give the post of counselor to Li Luo.

Luo's joy was overjoyed, Concubine Lan and Concubine Xuan frowned secretly, looked at Li Luo, and did not speak.

Prince Chun looked at Li Luo, and suddenly felt that the white hair between Li Luo's temples was particularly dazzling, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Lou'er, what do you think?" ”

"It's not what Lou'er thinks." Li Luo was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Haha, good, ambitious, my father doesn't like this yamen hiding in the shadows, Lou'er doesn't want to be the best, and the province is gossiped." Prince Chun said with a slight sigh.

"Lord Wang, such a good thing, why don't you let Lou'er go?" Rock's Rush Road.

Prince Chun glanced at Luo's and said: "The Privy Council is a counselor, with a high position and power, how many people are staring behind their backs, why do you want to push Lou'er to this storm."

Besides, Lou'er is still young, how can he do this position of counselor, the imperial brother is really a little too much this time, I am willing to lead the position of Jiuqing at the age of no crown, and it is not a good thing to be too sharp early. ”

"But." Luo also said.

Li Luo saw that Prince Chun's face was gloomy, so he immediately said: "Mother, Zhuo Cheng, up and down, wealthy nobles, people and worlds are complicated, and it is not Lou'er's strength, and Lou'er's temperament can't get in, Lou'er has her own plans after falling into the crown, don't worry about it." ”

Seeing that Li Luo was unwilling, Luo Shi didn't force it: "It's okay to do this, save yourself too busy to be at home when the time comes, anyway, as long as you are in Zhuocheng." ”

Li Luo lowered his head and replied: "Mother, don't worry, Lou'er will definitely protect Dagan and protect my Prince Chun's mansion." ”

"Hehe, okay, it's good for Lou'er to think like this." Luo smiled happily.

After eating, Prince Chun didn't seem to want to stay for a long time, and left after saying a few words, leaving everyone around to chat, surprisingly Li Luo was not impatient, no matter who said it, he listened quietly, and said a word or two from time to time, as if he was the well-behaved and sensible little prince five years ago.

It's night, Changming Palace.

"Uncle, I don't know what happened to summoning Xuanlou into the palace so late?"

"Lou'er, come here." Emperor Wanlong said loudly, looking at Li Luo, who walked to him, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the white hair between Li Luo's sideburns, and was stunned: "Lou'er, why is your hair white?" ”

"It's okay, just breathe for a while." Li Luo replied with a smile.

"That's fine, you sit." Emperor Wanlong nodded again and again, "Lou'er, did your father tell you about what happened after the crown?" ”

Li Luoyi sat down and replied, "I talked about it." ”

"What do you think, I gave you the position of Privy Council Counselor, haha, I have promoted my great pillar talent so eclecticly, and I will definitely leave a good story for future generations." After saying that, Emperor Wanlong burst out laughing.

Li Luo looked up at Emperor Wanlong, like a child, looking forward to a hundred generations, and he didn't care about Li Luo, let alone this big and sweet court, just laughing for this moment.

Over the years, the uncle must have borne a lot, and more and more people have lost the respect of the past, that is, his father also had a trace of contempt in his speech when talking about the emperor, but when the holy decree was planned that day, Emperor Wanlong said bluntly without thinking that if there was an accident, Prince Chun would ascend the throne as the emperor, and he would be the fourteenth emperor of Dagan, and there would never be a little separation.

Li Luo looked at Emperor Wanlong, who was still smiling in front of him, and suddenly felt a burst of heartache, as if he was like the man who stood in front of Yu Chengyun and begged to let go of his beloved concubine, it was not the luck of the country, but it was not the great fortune of the family, it was all experienced but slowly forgotten, and he didn't remember the streamer of the year, the wind and rain of the year.

Emperor Wanlong stopped laughing, turned his head and was about to ask Li Luo, but saw Li Luo was in a daze under the lamp, but his slightly immature face was suddenly brushed with a few strands of white hair, so thin.

Emperor Wanlong said quite embarrassedly: "Haha, look at the uncle, I will tell you such a heavy matter." Don't take Lou'er to heart, I just said it casually, wait for your next few years, Lou'er can do whatever he wants to do over the years, don't be afraid of trouble, everything is me. After speaking, Emperor Wanlong patted his chest and said.

Li Luo's sudden awakening and slight smile: "No, it's just such a high official position, how can the uncle rest assured that he will hand over a young man with a crown to Lou'er, in case Lou'er causes a big mess, it will be difficult to clean up." ”

Emperor Wanlong said in embarrassment: "Ha, this I have considered it slightly, but according to Lou'er's talent, it is not easy for this Privy Council to know." ”

Li Luo shook his head and smiled: "Uncle, what happened last time was just to have a heart and no intention, not how much real talent Lou'er has, if Lou'er is not in Zhuocheng in the future, uncle, Lou'er has the courage to speak out." ”

Emperor Wanlong was stunned and said, "Lou'er, you say." ”

"Where people are employed, the turbidity of officialdom nowadays is not about honesty, but officials must be awarded according to their aptitude. As long as the uncle can do it, Dagan can be passed on to the 145th emperor. ”

Emperor Wanlong was stunned and said slowly: "Lou'er, are you leaving Zhuocheng?" ”

Li Luo said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, Lou'er will not forget the promise of the day." ”

"Hmm." Emperor Wanlong said softly, walked a few steps closer, sat next to Li Luo, looked at Li Luo and laughed at himself: "Lou'er, don't think about those things, if you want to go out for a walk, go ahead, ha, the king of a country has forced you to be a young man with a crown, and you really don't grow up." Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and when you come back, I'll let you be a high-ranking official. ”

Li Luo looked up at Emperor Wanlong and said, "Uncle, will you forget Lou'er's promise that day?" ”

Emperor Wanlong was stunned, patted Li Luo's shoulder vigorously, and laughed loudly: "If you want the uncle to forget, the uncle will no longer remember it from tomorrow." ”

Li Luo smiled slightly, knelt down and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew has left the palace first, and there is still some time before Lou'er falls into the crown." Emperor Xie's trust in Xuanlou, Xuanlou should be saved. ”

Emperor Wanlong hurriedly helped Li Luo up and said: "Lou'er, why is it so polite, so that the Queen Mother can see it and preach." ”

"Your Majesty, Xuanlou should do this ceremony."

"Well, it's not early, let's rest early."

Li Luo saluted again, turned around and walked out of the Changming Palace, Emperor Wanlong watched Li Luo walk out of the side hall, under the candlelight, Li Luo's shadow became bigger and bigger, and half of the side hall was gathered in it.
