When I returned to the palace, more than three months had passed, during which I spent most of my time in confinement. And Han Qi also sneaked over to see me.

Every time Han Qi came, he would pick it at night, but at that time I was still being confined by the queen mother to copy books, and in the past, you were allowed to accompany me, but now even Youqing can only be anxious outside the door.

The door of my room was locked by the guards, and the outer hall was heavily guarded by the inner chamberlain, but Han Qi could always sneak in easily and stay for a long time at a time.

He has always been very smart, and he can always think of ways to hide from other people's eyes.

I lay on the side of the door and poked a few small holes in the mulllion paper, and I saw Han Qi sitting by the door, leaning against the door, looking very idle.

He was drinking a pot of wine in his hand, the moonlight outside the window was beautiful, his profile was outlined in the moonlight, the beads of wine on his lips were also reflected in the silver halo, he turned his head slightly and looked through the paper hole.

"Han Qi, what's wrong with you, I see that you are a little unhappy"

I've never seen him drink, I've never seen him so sad as he is today, as sad as the woman he loves doesn't like him.

"Luo'er, if there is a person who lies to you, will you still forgive him"

I didn't think he would ask me this question, and I was silent for a long time

"Growing up, no one ever lied to me. Maybe I'm smarter, or I'm too stupid, and I can't see if others lie to me.

If someone really lied to me, maybe ...... I will forgive him."

He took another sip of wine at the moon, and through the door I could smell the thick smell of wine wafting from his wine cup, and every time I smelled it, I felt like I was going to get drunk.

"If it was the person closest to you who hurt you, would you hate him?"

I don't think I can understand his questions today, since I was a child, my father didn't like me, the people in the palace were not close to me, and the closest and closest relative was probably my mother.

If one day she hurts me, maybe I will forgive her, after all, she is my mother.

"Yes."

I replied to him.

He froze for a moment, then turned around and continued to ask me

"What if that person is someone you love?"

"Yes"

He seemed relieved and turned back again. I was bombarded with so many questions from him, and I forgot that I was the one who asked the question first, and he asked me so much without answering.

"You haven't answered me yet, you don't look right today."

He said in silence for a long time

"I choose not to answer"

Why can I still choose, I'm a little angry, it's unfair, it's so unfair.

In the past, I didn't know what it meant to only allow the governor to set fires and not to allow the people to light lamps, but I understand what I said to him today.

"You're bullying," I said angrily.

"I'm sorry"

His apology startled me, and I thought he would quarrel with me in turn, just like he had done.

But he was uncharacteristically today, I was a little stunned, I don't know if he was sorry to refer to the scoundrel he played just now, or something else......

After a month's confinement by the Queen's mother, I have already begun to prepare for sneaking out of the palace in two days. After the last experience, I am already familiar with this matter.

However, this time is different from the last time, because this time there are not as many people coming and going on the street as there are on the Yuan Festival.

Although there were some accidents last time, but this time it won't, because Ah Yu is by my side to protect me, I am very relieved, he can always give me a sense of security, just like my mother protects me.

I have secretly asked Ah Yu to go out of the palace and book the most upscale hotel in Yinzhou City, planning to eat and drink, maybe I can meet a few good-looking boys, although I can't play, it's also very eye-catching to see.

Since the last lesson, I specially ordered Ah Yu to bring me a light men's dress from outside the palace, so as not to be targeted all the time.

And since the last time, Youqing told me that the ring is called money, and explained to me the use of money seriously, and I realized that I was being tricked by Han Qi again.

But I'm used to it, and I'm not angry. This time, I'm smart, all the money is put on Ah Yu and Youqing, and I don't have a penny with me.

Even a master with peerless martial arts would never want to pluck a single hair from me.

I will seriously explain the precautions for Ah Yu and Youqing's travel.

"We must not expose our identities this time, you will call me Chen Ye outside, so that those bad people will not dare to bully us!"

I really admire my talent, think about it, if I give a weak name, it won't be targeted every day, and the name Chen Ye is very frightening and domineering when I hear it.

I stuffed a lot of bags of copper coins for Ah Yu, I think money is a good thing, after all, in this palace, the most important thing is money.

A few days later, on the day of the sunrise from the palace, I specially asked the teacher for leave, and I secretly went out of the main hall before dawn in the morning. Most of the guards on the road were a little sleepy, lazy and lazy patrolling, maybe it was almost time to hand over the shift, and most of them were not very serious, so we were easy to get through.

I and the young young Ah Yu changed into the armor of the guards, pinched the timing of their shift change, and sneaked into the queue of the guards.

Fortunately, they didn't notice us, and when the gates were opened, they slipped out of the palace with the first group of guards who had been sent out of the palace for patrol.

I feel like it's been a long time since I've breathed the fresh air of Yinzhou City. At that time, there were very few people coming and going on the streets, and it was about too early to open.

As we walked through the streets, there were more and more merchants coming and going, and the cries of hawkers gradually returned to their former bustling scene.

I've never eaten folk food, so I don't think the feast in the palace needs to be any worse.

Qin Yu took me to a tavern, the tavern was called Yuelai Tavern, wasn't it the first inn I had stayed in Yinzhou when I first came to Yinzhou, and it was also the first time I met Qin Yu.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and things have long been different. The shopkeeper inside has also changed, and this time the shopkeeper is an old man who is over half a hundred years old.

He had a long beard, gray hair, lost teeth, and a cane, and the wrinkles on his face were densely covered with every inch of exposed skin, which at first glance looked a little hideous.

I asked him respectfully

"Hello Grandpa, my friend and I are passing through here. If you want to order some side dishes, you see......"

Before I finished speaking, the old man replied without raising his head

"It's closed, please go back!"

I was puzzled, but it was daylight, why was it closed, and besides, there were already guests eating in his tavern. I was a little annoyed, but because he was an elder, I couldn't get angry directly.

"Senior, we booked a seat here a few days ago"

When he heard this, he slowly raised his head, looked at me carefully with his cane, and then looked at Qin Yu and Youqing who were following behind him.

"Girl, please come with me"

I was stunned, today I was dressed in men's clothes and was heroic, and he could see at a glance that I was a daughter. I was sweating profusely on my forehead, but I felt that the old man's eyes were not as bad as they looked.

He led us up to the third floor, and I didn't even see that this seemingly ordinary tavern had a very different style on each floor. It's as if the guests who come here are not here to eat or stay at the hotel at all, but for another purpose.

The third floor was empty, and there were not a single guest, and the old man's crutches tapped on the floor with a dull sound, and he carried one of his hands behind his back to slowly lead us to a table and sit down.

"Girl, it's not the first time you've been here, have you?"

The old man's voice was hoarse, but the words pierced my heart. How did he find out, I thought to myself, as if I felt as if I was completely transparent in front of him, and I couldn't hide it from him at all.

I didn't answer him, and I tried not to control my expression so abruptly, and the young face was similar to mine, and it was also a surprised expression.

Only Qin Yu didn't show an abnormal expression, but I was used to his attitude of not being surprised, even if the sky fell, he wouldn't show any other expression.

The old man seemed to expect that I would not answer, and did not linger too much, so he turned and went downstairs. A short time later, a young man dressed in gray linen came to us with a white cloth on his shoulder, smiling all over his face.

I've heard Youqing tell me that this person is called Xiao Er, but I never understand why people who wear such clothes all day long are called Xiao Er.

He walked over to our table and asked, hunched over

"Guest officer, what do you need, this is the recipe of the small shop, you have given it a look"

I ordered a few random side dishes with nice names and handed them to the man.

He was about to leave with the recipe, but I couldn't hide my curiosity at the time, and I couldn't help but whisper to stop him

"Xiao Er, why did your mother name you Xiao Er"

It doesn't matter if I ask, the young people on the side laughed, and even the second child laughed.

I realized that I asked something I shouldn't have asked, and I laughed wryly, and besides, I really didn't understand how to ask shamelessly, what's so funny, I made a grimace at Youqing.

"Xiao Er refers to our runaway guy who does the tavern business, so don't make fun of the little one"

After saying that, I went downstairs timidly, and I felt that my question just now was indeed a little strange, and I stuck out my tongue in embarrassment.

Youqing and I, Ah Yu and I were eating side dishes, and we watched the merchants passing by downstairs buying and selling souvenirs brought from other places. The streets were very loud and noisy, but the sound of one person suddenly came to my ears.

"Sell paintings, portraits of the twelve princesses of Qi Kingdom, sell paintings, sell paintings"

I was stunned, how could I not know that someone had painted my portrait and sold it, I thought it was very fresh.

"Ah Yu, let's go down and take a look"

I took Ah Yu to the source of the clamour, and it looked like a six or seven-year-old girl. I wasn't as tall as the table in front of her, and I looked at me pitifully.

"Childe, do you want to buy a painting, it only costs five cents"

Her body was dirty, her clothes were patched, and they didn't fit well, and she was a lot bigger on her. I saw that she was very pitiful, so I asked Qin Yu to give her more money.

"Little sister, I bought all these paintings of yours, this money is for you, go buy delicious ones"

I didn't pay attention to what it was, but I felt very sorry for her, so I bought all her paintings.

By the time I took it back to the tavern to take a closer look at the painting, I almost lost my head bald. It was me on that painting, and it was clearly a monster with a blue face and fangs, antlers, and a burly body with loose hair!

There is also a line of words attached below: "Portrait of Chen Luo, the Twelve Princesses of Qi Kingdom"

I almost got sick out of breath, and I was about to tear them all out, but I didn't know that the gray-haired old man was already standing beside me with a teapot, and said in a hoarse voice

"I'm afraid I'm about to come in a big disaster, girl. ”
