Fission Chapter 7: Life in Beijing (2)

The golden sun appeared in the sky, and the crowing of the rooster broke through the darkness. Another day begins in and around the city. The peasant vendors, who had already set out, carried their burdens and drove their carts, and came to the city gate, which was already shouting. Residents of the city cleaned their yards, and the shops along the street removed their doors and carefully counted the inventory in the stores. At this moment, the most lively thing is the breakfast shop one after another, and the same snacks are delivered into the mouths of the guests early, satisfying the appetite of those diners. And at the gate outside the central palace, those who have hands and eyes to the sky are also blocked by the majestic palace gate, and the top of the sedan chair is lined up, and the officials inside are served by their own servants to eat breakfast.

Zhao Gengzhi and Zhao Xiangguo have to look at the palace gate every time they come here, and it seems that they can directly see the Mingde Hall through the palace gate. People of his age don't have that much sleep anymore, and he had breakfast in the house early. On the side, Zhao Zhuxian was like others, eating fragrant food. And Tang Xunli in the dormitory also used breakfast, even if he was the king of a country, he couldn't be presumptuous, and got up early to prepare. The palace gate was opened, and all the ministers lined up and walked into the palace gate in turn, walking towards the Tang Emperor, the highest power in the Tang Kingdom. From the order at this moment, you can go directly to the border, and at this moment, the behemoth of Tang Guo is advancing in an orderly manner.

Inside the Ann Palace

Tang Liji overslept for a long time. Even if he was young and sick, he could not live as he used to be. He lay on the comfortable bed in the inner room, and his heart became soft. And the maid dressed in green clothes in the outer room changed the washing water that had already been put cold again. "Lord Wang, it's almost time. The kitchen has prepared your favorite jujube paste cloud slices. She had her back to the inner room, and her loose clothes still could not hide the graceful figure of the maid, and her hair was loosely tied up by a red rope. Rolled up the sleeves, a white and tender arm like a lotus root was exposed, and the ink-colored jade bracelet was worn on the wrist and occasionally collided with the copper basin, making a crisp sound. Tang Lanji stretched his waist and walked out slowly. Hearing a sound behind her, she turned to look at the visitor, a few strands of hair that had broken free from the red rope were floating on her face, a pair of watery eyes looked at Tang Lanji, and the red lips that had been wiped rouge were even more delicate on the jasper-flawless face. She bowed her head and saluted, and when she looked up again, she saw that Tang Lanji's face was about to rub against the tip of her nose, and she stepped back and exclaimed, almost knocking down a basin of water behind her. In an instant, Tang Rongji hugged the maid's slender waist with one hand and held the basin stand with the other.

"Xiao Li, when did you become so timid." Looking at the maid in his arms, the joy of the success of the prank in his heart took over his body and mind, and he gloated. The maid named Xiao Li glanced up at Tang Lanji, struggled out of Tang Lanji's arms, but did not move, her slender fingers carefully sorted out the messy clothes on Tang Lanji's body, and smoothed the wrinkles on the clothes. "No one cares about you in the army, but you still have to pay attention when you return to Beijing, if you are seen by outsiders, there will be gossip again." Xiao Li said softly. "The army is all big and rough, and I'm used to it." Feeling the temperature of Xiao Li's palm, Tang Liji also said quietly: "If you can take care of these things in the army, it will be good to be able to survive every day." A trace of distress flashed in Xiao Li's eyes, and the strength in his hand became softer and gentler.

Then, Tang Jiji began to wash. Xiao Li looked at his back, and in a trance, he saw the picture of Tang Shuji setting off with the honor guard of the second princess five years ago: a majestic war horse, a thin figure, carrying a disproportionate spear, walking lonely into the distance. In a flash, Tang Rongji had finished washing, "Ah, it's been a long time since I've been so happy." Let's go, and then go and eat a cloud of jujube mud. Tang Lanji walked in front, and Xiao Li followed behind. At the dining table, "Yesterday, Father-in-law Gao told you, my third sister and fourth sister are going to come to live in the house for a few days." Tang Rongji asked Xiao Li while eating, "Well, Gao Gonggong told me." I've been trying to teach them some rules of etiquette in the palace these days. Xiao Li stood aside and said. Sit down and eat with me, and there is no one else here. Tang Liji got up and pressed Xiao Li to the stool opposite him, after seeing the position of the stool, Xiao Li's face turned red and wanted to struggle to stand up, but after seeing Tang Liji's eyes, he was not struggling. I don't have that many rules, and those things are just for others to see. Tang Rongji returned to his position and said. When Xiao Li heard this, he didn't twist, picked up the chopsticks and chewed slowly. "In the past few days, my father has allowed me not to go into the palace to ask for peace, and to recuperate in the house. It just so happens that the Queen Mother's illness has improved greatly, so I don't have to worry too much. It's okay today, go out with me and get some popularity. It's really not fun to stay in this house. Tang Jiji said after eating, and Xiao Li agreed.

In Linyang City, Tang Lanji, Yu Feiying, and Xiao Li walked on the street. The three of them are ordinary services, but no matter how ordinary the clothes are, they can't hide the difference between the three of them. Tang Zhiji and Yu Feiying's momentum of contemplating thousands of people has long been integrated into their bones. And Xiao Li on the side is dressed in folk clothes and is more pure. "Feiying, it's been a long time since we've been walking on the street like this." Tang Lanji said with emotion, "Last time, I was afraid that I went to the capital of Qingguo with the prince, I'm afraid it has been more than a year." Yu Feiying also sighed. Don't blame these two people, military life is already lonely, and now when they see such a rich life, it is better for them to sigh. Xiao Li on the side hid his face and chuckled: "If others hear it, they think how many years have you two been in the mountains." The three of them walked with a smile and a smile, and even Yu Feiying, a person who didn't talk too much, talked a lot. During this period, Xiao Li bought some jewelry and some gadgets, "The girls in the house always stay in the house, there is nothing fun." Bring some back and show them too. Xiao Li put down this sentence and handed over all the things to Yu Feiying, and half-pushed Tang Lanji forward to another stall.

In the teahouse, Xiao Li served Tang Lanji and drank tea, and Yu Feiying was already tired and poured a pot of tea. Xiao Li also sat down, obviously in a good mood. Tang Jiji didn't notice this, but kept scanning the street, his brows furrowed. "Are there any big events in Linyang City recently?" Tang Zhiji asked Xiao Li. "Uh...... Not really. There's not been much of a big deal in the city lately. The left is just the birthday of the old ladies of several Hou Mansions, and Steward Li also sent the grandmothers in the mansion to go. Xiao Li pondered and replied, "We have been shopping for a long time, and there are many more people from other countries on the street. It's strange that there are a lot of people who aren't in the country of the South Plains. Yu Feiying also looked at the street and said. It's really a little weird, it stands to reason that the people of the country of Duonanyuan in Linyang City are the norm. I just took a closer look, and there are more people in the four places of Central Plains, Beichuan, Nanchuan, and Beigu. Tang said after taking a sip of tea. Maybe we are too careful, now Linyang City is also the leading city in the world, and there are not a few people who come here to do business and sightseeing. Yu Feiying said indifferently. Tang Lanji didn't speak, just drank tea and thought about it. And Xiao Li on the side didn't think it was a problem, in her opinion, everyone here was no different. The three of them rested for a while, and then got up and walked out of the teahouse again. Without exception, Yu Feiying had more and more things on his body, and there was less and less silver in Tang Liji's purse on the side.
