"So you're idle!" Liu Le shook An Su's arm, "I'm here to help you relieve your boredom." It's the Thousand Lights Festival, and the streets outside are bustling, so let's go out for a stroll! ”

"A Thousand Lights?" Ansu had never heard of this festival in Qinghe County, and it was probably a unique custom in Chang'an.

"That's right! In fact, it's not a festival, it's just that everyone has nothing to do, making some beautiful lanterns and giving them to each other. Let's take advantage of this excitement and go out for a walk. Liu Le has been spoiled by the Queen Mother since he was a child, and now he still has the little girl's family to join in the fun, she took An Su's hand and said, "An Su, you entered the palace as soon as you arrived in Chang'an, haven't you been able to take a good look at the scene here?" I can take you out today, the streets are fun, and I'm sure you'll never want to leave. ”

"Okay, let's go out and have a look!" An Su thought that he couldn't take care of his brother's affairs here, and it was not appropriate to shrink into the room all the time, so it was better to go to the street to wake up, and he couldn't make sure that he could come up with any good ideas as soon as his mind cleared.

The streets of the Thousand Lights Festival are really different from the past, and now it is evening, and all the vendors have put out the lanterns that have been prepared for a long time, and the stalls are mostly red and willow green, and you can be confused by walking around. An Su and Liu Le came out of the princess's mansion together, and some minions around them were always not having fun, so Liu Le told them to stay in the mansion and never follow secretly. In this way, the two of them can have some real time to play.

It's just that not long after going out, An Su noticed that Liu Le was unusual. said that she came out to see the lanterns, but her mind seemed to be completely absent from the lanterns, and she was only looking left and right. At first, An Su thought she was looking for a more beautiful lantern, but when she looked closely, her eyes always stayed on the stalls, and she actually drifted towards the nearby Yanliu Alley.

An Su took a butterfly lantern and shook it in front of her: "Call me out, but I can't give up, what do you think?" ”

Liu Le saw that his mind was perceived, so he quickly turned his head to look, and pretended to be calm and took the butterfly lantern: "It's nothing, I'll just take a look at it." ”

"Ah Le, you seem to have something on your mind?" An Su has never been a person who likes to inquire about other people's private affairs, but Liu Le is so demeanor that she is always a little worried about her.

"No, what can I do." Liu Le reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth, but her face was bored and could not be concealed, she was silent for a while, but she still raised her head and said to An Su, "An Su, do you think I, the princess, are doing well?" ”

In the evening, the night wind blew suddenly, and An Su shivered: "Why did you suddenly ask such a question?" You are the only daughter of the Queen Mother, the emperor's own sister, the palace and the palace are extremely noble, and you are married to Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao who is praised by everyone, is there anything dissatisfied? ”

"I'm not satisfied with marrying him." Liu Le muttered in a low voice before he said seriously, "My princess seems to be noble, but in fact, from childhood to adulthood, there is nothing I can decide. Even when I chose a husband, the queen mother picked it out and stuffed it to me, that Zhang Ao was indeed a civil and military all-rounder, but the queen mother never asked me if I liked it or not, just because he had some power in his hands, so he married me to him as a woo. ”

An Su didn't know that Princess Lu Yuan, who seemed to be well-behaved in front of the Queen Mother, still had such thoughts. But being in the royal family and living a life of fine clothes and food must have to pay some price. And as a woman, most of this price is her lifelong happiness.

"Ah Le, do you like colts?"

Originally, I heard that the people in the palace praised him, and I liked it a little. But after I got married, I found out that he had already had a wife, and the wife gave birth to a daughter for him. As soon as Liu Le talked about this, he was particularly angry, "I'm a princess on top, if you want me to marry him, do I want to be a concubine?" ”

"So you forced him to degrade his wife to a concubine?" An Su thought about the rumors he overheard in the palace, saying that after Princess Lu Yuan married Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, his original wife disappeared quietly.

"Of course not. I had heard early on that he and that woman were very much in love, and even refused to marry me with his mother, and even if he reluctantly agreed, he would never let his wife be wronged. Liu Le said, with a fierce glint in his eyes, and a little annoyance that he couldn't ask for, "So I sent someone to kill the woman." ”

"What?!" An Su was suddenly taken aback, when she got along with Liu Le, she only felt that she was a little rough and domineering, and occasionally she was really cute, and she had a bit of a real temperament. But she categorically didn't expect that she would still be so ruthless, how innocent that woman was, and she became a victim of the struggle for power and profit in the royal family.

"That woman also left a woman, and I originally wanted to get rid of her, but the queen mother asked me to take her as my own daughter, so there was really no way." Liu Le was still a little indignant, and he didn't seem to feel that he was wrong to kill people indiscriminately.

An Su sighed silently, this mother and daughter seem to be carved out of a mold, it is difficult for the emperor to follow the queen mother for so many years, and still maintain a benevolent heart. It's just that her heart sank slightly, she was in the princess's mansion, and now she was having a good time with Liu Le, if she offended her one day, would the end be better than that woman.

In the past, when I was in Changle Palace, some palace people talked about a servant girl who Princess Lu Yuan loved very much, but because she made a little mistake and angered her, she was beaten to death, and she no longer had the same sisterly affection as before. Like Princess Lu Yuan, who loves when she wants to live and hates when she wants to die, she is in the princess's mansion, but she seems to be on a thief ship.

"Ansu, Ansu, why are you stunned?" Liu Le poked An Su's forehead angrily.

"I'm thinking, in this way, isn't that woman's daughter the current master of the Jiaofang Palace, the queen's mother?" Ansu asked knowingly.

"Yes, it's Queen Zhang Yan."

"Then this woman still has a bit of luck, although she is dead, it is worth it for her daughter to become the queen." An Su disagreed with Liu Le's approach very much, but after weighing the pros and cons, she could only choose something she liked to hear.

"Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy ones." Liu Le waved his hand casually, "Ansu, I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat something." ”

Liu Le has the temperament to do whatever he thinks, and as soon as he said that he wanted to eat, he took An Su and rushed into a nearby restaurant. There are many restaurants in Chang'an, all of which imitate the atmosphere of the imperial palace and create a splendid atmosphere, so that ordinary people can occasionally experience a sense of luxury. An Su sat in it, but couldn't help but think of the Huiyue Teahouse in Qinghe County, and this thought couldn't help but recall the first time he met Gu Wenzhou, the man in white and graceful.

"Ansu, what are you thinking?" Liu Le looked at her with a smile on his face, propped his head and asked.

"I remembered the day we first met in Qinghe County, and the night was a little cool, but the wind blew on my body and it was very comfortable. It's just that there were so many things that day that I couldn't take care of enjoying the evening breeze. An Su sighed unconsciously.

That day was a very special day, not only the surprise of seeing Gu Wenzhou, but also the pain of the death of his father and the disappearance of his brother, mixed together, it was like throwing people into a hot and cold water tank, one moment it was cold and biting, and the other time it was extremely hot.

"Yes, I only knew that day that there are people like Gu Xiangshi in this world." Liu Le's eyes showed a little more longing, and his tone jumped up, "He is not like a layman in the world, as if a fairy descended to earth, no wonder there are so many women who follow desperately, just to see him." ”

An Su Yanran smiled: "Wen Zhou is indeed not a cannibal fireworks, but even a true immortal can't compare to him." ”

"Wen Zhou?" Liu Le's brows furrowed, and his lips pursed tightly, "Why do you call him that?" ”

An Su knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "I occasionally got the help of Gu Xiangshi in the palace, and I remembered his name with gratitude, and Ah Lemo wanted to be surprised." ”

"Is that so?" Liu Lehu looked at An Su suspiciously.

"Yes, isn't Ah Le hungry? Let's eat the vegetables! An Su's eyes were a little evasive, but fortunately, a few dishes were served in front of him at this time, and he was finally able to change the topic.

Liu Le was indeed hungry, so he didn't ask any more questions, and only concentrated on dealing with the sweet and sour mandarin fish in front of him. An Su breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know what Gu Wenzhou was doing in the palace at this time, was he called by the emperor to discuss the Tao again, or was he drinking alone with the moon in the Changting Palace?

This restaurant is worthy of being the best in Chang'an City, the taste of every dish is very good, An Su tasted it one by one under Liu Le's introduction, and praised it all the way from the bottom of his heart. Just as he was talking, Liu Le's eyes were fixed on a certain place outside the restaurant.

"Ah Le, what's wrong?" An Su looked at her with a look that was a little inappropriate.

Sure enough, Liu Le gritted his teeth and stared at the Yanliu Lane outside: "Zhang Ao, he went to that place to fool around again!" ”

An Su looked in the direction of her finger, there was a place called "Drunken Spring Building". Although An Su has never been there, judging from the girls standing at the door and dressed in bewitching clothes, she can also know that it is the Qinglou.

"Ah Le, you ......" An Su was trying to persuade her not to be impatient, Liu Le had already thrown some coins on the table, and rushed towards Zuichun Building like a smoke.

An Su also knows that although Liu Le doesn't have much true affection for Zhang Ao, since he is married to him, he must not be allowed to go in and out of this kind of fireworks land. Even if she didn't care, the face of the royal princess had to be taken care of. It's just a rumor in the palace that Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, has excellent appearance, is both civil and military, and is polite to others, how can such a person also become a hungry ghost?

An Su shook his head after thinking about it, although he didn't want to set foot in a place like Zuichun Tower, but he couldn't let Liu Le go in alone, if something happened to her, he wouldn't be able to get half of the benefits. Thinking about it like this, An Su also quickly got up and chased Liu Le's figure to the Zuichun Building.
