Chapter Twenty-Three: The Four Youths of the Royal City (2)

After this toss, several people were a little hungry, so they immediately proposed to eat and drink first, Yu Ying walked to Li Luo, who had been carrying his back and said, "Hey, how can you look at such a small ornament for this half a day?" Take it if you like. ”

The vendor nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, if Childe likes it, he will give it to Childe." ”

"Oh," Li Luo said, turning to Ying and saying, "You go first, and I'll come later." ”

Yu Ying sighed, turned around and walked towards the restaurant. Li Luo asked, "How much do you sell for ornaments like this on weekdays?" ”

"Five small cents." The vendor replied honestly.

Li Luo handed the vendor a piece of broken silver for one penny, pointed to the ornament he caressed just now, and said, "I'll buy this." ”

The vendor was so frightened that he didn't even say that he wanted money, Li Luo didn't say much, threw down the silver and walked away, and the vendor hurriedly shouted: "Childe, your earrings." ”

Suddenly a whole wind blew, and the vendor was stunned, and the earrings that were clearly there on the stall just now were gone, leaving only a pile of fine sand.

Entering this restaurant called leisure and elegance, the entire second floor was wrapped down by Zhang Zeliu, and the tables that were eating were all driven down. A few people were lying on the chairs and screaming, and the subordinates were busy pinching their waists and beating their legs, and the shopkeeper nodded and looked at a group of people with sad faces.

A few began to order meals, full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, strange dishes and wines, the shopkeeper's cold sweat is not stopped, if this meal can not collect the money for the meal, I am afraid that the past two years will be in vain.

After ordering the meal, a group of people chatted, nothing more than where there were interesting things, where there were beautiful girls, today was disturbed by the willow smoke, everyone was quite embarrassed, planning where to extinguish this anger, and there was a burst of foul language. Li Luo sat by the window, looking at the pedestrians on the road, and when someone looked up, he saw several people by the window and the guards at the door, all of whom hurriedly bowed their heads and trotted away.

was sitting, suddenly heard the sound of erhu and pipa ensemble downstairs, everyone was interested, sent the guards to pull the person playing downstairs up, but it was an old man and a blind girl to sell art, Cheng Ziyao threw a piece of silver, and the two of them sang, the erhu sounded, Li Luo listened, and gently knocked on the window edge with the rhythm of the erhu.

Suddenly heard a woman's scream, Li Luo looked back, but it was Cheng Ziyao who reached out to brush the girl's face, although this girl is white and pure, but the capital of the Chinese, this Cheng Ziyao held back his anger, and saw that the girl was blind, and he was even more surprised, and he didn't sing a few times, and began to move his hands and feet.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and begged, only saying that his granddaughter was not selling her body, Cheng Ziyao was tired of hearing it, and kicked the old man away, the blind girl was busy crying and rushed over but was caught by Cheng Ziyao, and heard the girl's cry and the sound of the cloth tearing in the entanglement, mixed with the laughter of everyone in the hall, the voice in Li Luo's ears became farther and farther away, there was some salty taste in his mouth, and he vaguely heard the scolding of Zhang Zeliu and Di Chengning, and slowly disappeared.

The blind girl finally escaped, maybe she looked average, in the laughter and ridicule of Zhang Zeliu and Di Chengning, Cheng Ziyao still let the two go, but rewarded the two of them with some silver, the old man and the blind girl stumbled downstairs, halfway down, the old man was empty, rolled down, provoked the upstairs people laughed, laughter, the two of them panicked out of the restaurant.

When the meal came, Zhang Zeliu looked at the window, but found that Li Luo was gone, and said strangely: "Where is Li Luo?" ”

Yu Ying also glanced at it and said, "I don't know, I was still there just now." Let's wait for Li Luo to come and eat it. ”

"No, let's eat first." Zhang Zeliu replied disappreciatively.

Li Luo returned to the palace, it was late, just walked into the courtyard gate, and saw Su Xue with his back to the door of the house, standing there, Li Luo felt a little strange, few people came to Qingxin Building, occasionally Luo would come over to see, I don't know if it is today. Immediately stepped into the door of the house, and saw the person sitting in the right seat drinking tea, Li Luo was slightly shocked, it turned out to be Prince Chun Li Chengye.

Li Luo saluted and said, "Father, why did you come here today?" ”

Li Chengye looked at Li Luo expressionlessly, this son was originally the pride of the palace, and even more so his own pride, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, Li Luo would not be able to change, and several important ministers of the court complained to themselves, and what was even more annoying was that he stole into Zongbo's Mansion and almost killed the girl who committed suicide by hanging herself, on the other hand, Li Luo himself never repented, or went his own way, even his father's words could not be listened to.

Li Luo saw Prince Chun's hand holding the teacup trembling slightly, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed on his face, and said to Su Xue: "Su Xue, you go down first, and I will talk to my father." ”

Su Xue looked at Li Luo, a little worried, answered, and bowed and retreated.

Li Luo waited for Su Xue to come out of the house and asked, "Father, I don't know what is the matter with looking for Lou'er today?" ”

Li Chengye still didn't speak, staring at Li Luo for a while, the two fathers and sons froze in the room like this, after a long time, the sky slowly turned into night, Li Chengye let out a sigh of relief, and said: "The queen mother is not safe, do you know?" ”

"Yes."

"Enter the palace tomorrow, stay in the palace for a while, and accompany your grandmother, she misses you these days and has ordered someone to pass you over many times."

Li Luo replied lightly.

Li Chengye looked at Li Luo's appearance, he was extremely angry in his heart, and for some reason, the Queen Mother and the imperial brother maintained Li Luo's abnormality, no matter what reward they gave over the years, they couldn't get Li Luo's share, which caused rumors among other royal relatives and relatives, Li Chengye was overwhelmed, and what was even more annoying was that Li Luo was so uncompetitive that he let himself lose the face of the palace.

Looking at Li Luo's plain appearance again, Li Chengye became more and more angry. is really a rebel who does not respect morality, Li Chengye stood up violently, afraid that he would not be able to suppress his anger, and walked out without saying a word.

Li Luo was left alone in the house and did not move for a long time.

After a while, Su Xue came in to add tea, and saw that Prince Chun had left, and Li Luo was still standing in the house, not knowing what he was thinking, and called softly: "Little prince." ”

Li Luo hummed, paused for a while, and said to Su Xue: "You clean up, enter the palace with me tomorrow, the queen mother is not in good health, and I will accompany her in the palace for a while." ”

"Yes, little prince, I'll go to the dining room to get some food for the little prince. What does the little prince want to eat today? ”

"It's all good, you can prepare some in the dining room, not too much, just enough to eat."

Waiting for Suxue to go out, Li Luo went to the backyard to find Qiuji, settled down a little thing, came back to Qingxinlou for dinner, went to greet Luo's family, and told Luo's about entering the palace tomorrow, Luo's inevitably gave some instructions, nothing more than to let Li Luo see the opportunity to act, please the queen mother, don't act publicly, Li Luonuo should go.

On the second day, Li Luo got up early, finished freshening up, and when Su Xue got up, Li Luo had already cleaned up, and when Su Xue came over and had some breakfast together, he went straight to the palace under the leadership of several tiger guards and Ouchi guards and palace maids.

Prince Chun's Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, all in the northern city of Zhuocheng.

The northern city of Zhuocheng is a royal land, except for the Dagan Palace, only the royal relatives can live here.

The east of Zhuocheng is the place where the important ministers and high-ranking officials, scholars and doctors and some wealthy businessmen and magnates live, and naturally there are many vassal elegant restaurants and teahouses, orchestral silk and bamboo places, but they are generally elegant.

The west of the city is the economic center, it is the most prosperous place in Zhuo City, it has the reputation of ten thousand families to discuss, since there are thousands of miles of road, the title of the west of Zhuo City, it is said that the things that you see all over the city can be found in the west of Zhuo City, although it is slightly exaggerated, but it also highlights the prosperity of the west of the city, and the post houses of various countries are located in the west of the city of Dagan, which is embellished with a bit of exotic customs for the west of the city.

The south of the city is the residence of other civilian officials and some soldiers and their families in Dagan, covering the widest area, those who want to come to this Zhuo City to try their luck will settle in the south of the city first, compared with the other three, it is a little chaotic, but here you can find the most traditional customs of Dagan, the most lively festival and the shadow of Dagan when it was first built two hundred years ago, and many talents are dormant in the south of this city, and then a blockbuster, into the Dagan Dynasty to worship the marquis.

These four places, the radius is more than 100 miles, especially the north and south of the city have passed hundreds of miles, in the middle of the royal city, the place where the four domains meet, there is a white rock square, called Dingtiantai, it is the place where Taizu Li Xia established the country to tell the world and rewarded the meritorious heroes, now the imperial court has not used this square for a long time to reproduce the grand event of the Taizu waving the army and the generals, only occasionally or when the nobles of the emperor and the people celebrate together, the place of slaughter of the year, was also introduced into a surrounding Qing River, and then embellished with some flowers and trees and boulders, walking in the meantime, like a garden more, It really makes people can't think of the scene of Taizu covering the sky with a flag when he ordered troops.

The spring river under the moon is an alternative place in Zhuocheng, and it is also the symbol of Zhuocheng, although there are some fireworks in the east and west of the city, but it is not as good as the spring river under the moon in case, if you talk about the wind and the moon, but also look at the spring river under the moon.

Li Luo entered the palace from the side door, here Li Luo often comes, although Li Luo is notorious in recent years, but the Queen Mother's grandmother and Emperor Wanlong still love Li Luo, especially Emperor Wanlong attaches great importance to Li Luo, and never cares about the slander and slander of the people in the harem, so that his brother Li Chengye also feels a little too favored, not to mention the other heirs of Emperor Wanlong, in front of Emperor Wanlong, he naturally does not dare to say anything, but in private, as long as there is a chance, he will speak ill of Li Luo, and Li Luo has always been just indifferent, and never complained in front of Emperor Wanlong and the Queen Mother.
