Chapter 22: The Lotus Pavilion will meet Cui Lang
Mo Rong said that she wanted to return to Jihua Mountain, not to shirk, and within a few days, she did leave Chang'an and handed over the view to Linchao and Guidu.
Princess Gao Ning was extremely excited, and Hua Wei looked at her like a bear child whose parents were not at home, and she couldn't help but worry that she would cause trouble with her excessive energy.
"Hua Yan, let's go shopping on the street, I'm going to suffocate to death if I'm bored in watching and reading all day long. ”
Hua Wei and Princess Guangrong each sat at the stone table with a book, both unmoved.
"Please, flowers. Princess Gao Ning rubbed over and whispered: "When the Lord left, I said that if I go out, someone must accompany me, it is inconvenient for men to come to the court, you can't let me go to find Guidu, right?"
"Where does the princess want to go?" Hua Wei is strange, she wants to go out to play a little too often, and often pulls herself out of the house and then gets separated inexplicably, which feels very suspicious.
"Actually, after I made an appointment with a few friends, they were all famous, and they always said that they wanted to meet the heroes of the rain prayer festival, so I agreed, you see, you can't let my princess break her word, right?
Princess Guangrong put down the book and said helplessly: "You agreed without asking the Taoist, you are too rude." ”
Princess Gao Ning flattened her mouth and was quite aggrieved.
Hua Wei had no choice but to sigh and stand up, "Let me change my clothes, princess, please wait." ”
Princess Gao Ning's eyes immediately lit up, and she smiled like a little fox.
——
The two took a carriage to the most prosperous and lively neighborhood in Chang'an, where there were many restaurants and teahouses, many shops, a variety of goods, and even merchants from all over the world and other countries.
Gao Ning didn't fight the princess's honor guard, both of them were wearing gray wide robes, which were inconspicuous in the crowd, but they were also absolutely safe.
On this continent, the Taoist priest is a very respected profession, and to become a Taoist priest, it is necessary to be able to pass the realm of the Dan and receive the ring of the holy water of Tianheng Mountain, so that he can wear the special hairpin and utensils of the Taoist.
The nine-petal green lotus white hosta wrapped around the flower woman's hair and the cinnabar mark in the middle can already prove her identity, and passers-by often politely say that Chang'an is good.
They came to a chic and tall bamboo building, called the Lotus Pavilion, in which the sound of silk bamboo faintly floated out.
Hua Yu saw that the two female cultivators walking in front of her entered the Lotus Pavilion in turn, and said with a smile: "This boss is very good at doing business, the lotus is the holy flower of the cultivation world, so the name must be very pleasing to the people of the cultivation world." ”
"The people of the world like it too," Princess Gao Ning pushed her inside, "We're going here too." ”
——
The two went upstairs to find a place to sit down, Princess Gao Ning said that the tea was bitter, and Hua Wei went to the counter for her to ask for candies.
A man dressed in a blue satin robe walked with her, shook a folding fan and asked with a smile, "What does the Taoist chief want?" ”
Hua Wei looked at him in surprise, this person is not ugly, his eyebrows are full of warmth, and he shakes the fan and is really like that, but Hua Wei still wants to say, open your eyes wide and see, okay? I am a Taoist priest, I have flirted with the wrong person, little brother.
"I asked the shopkeeper to ask for something sweet, I'm afraid the son won't be able to help. ”
"I have nectar here, how about it?" Childe took out a small box from his sleeve in a blink of an eye.
"Thanks, no. Hua Wei responded lightly.
"That'...... It's abrupt, and the Taoist chief forgives me. Childe put away the folding fan and shook it slightly, and soon Shi Shiran floated away.
Hua Yu's heart is not entangled, and she is an understanding person.
When she walked back, she saw a young lady wearing a hairpin ring, followed by a maid, chatting happily with a Taoist priest in green clothes, full of spring, she couldn't help but wonder, as if something was a little strange.
When she was seated, she asked, "Haven't the princess's friends come yet?"
Princess Gao Ning said: "They didn't come out today, I don't say that, you won't go out with me." ”
Hua Wei's eyes widened, "Then why do you have to go out today?"
Princess Gao Ning held her chin in one hand, looked at a place in the distance seriously, and smiled while watching, "Relax, the beautiful scenery of the good day cannot be disappointed." ”
Hua Wei looked back in confusion, and saw a handsome boy sitting on the table in the corner, with a white face and a smile, raising a glass from afar, with an indescribable meaning.
She instantly understood, and said incredulously: "You asked me to cover for you and meet your lover?"
"Clever!"
Hua Fei: "...... "Let's admit it, isn't it a bit crisp, princess?"
"Who is he?"
"The son of the Rong'an Hou family, how is it, is he handsome or not?" Gao Ning couldn't even take his eyes back when he spoke.
"Hmmm......"
"Do you know which Rong'an Hou Mansion is? The Cui family, one of the four major families, has a handsome son-in-law. ”
As if she was meeting Princess Gao Ning for the first time, Hua Wei looked her up and down, and asked carefully: "Have you seen all his sons?"
"Naturally, Li Lang is the best-looking. ”
It turned out that this person's name was Cui Li, Hua Yu accepted it silently, and Princess Gao Ning continued to say amazingly, "He is also in good shape, and he has a red mole on his waist." ”
Hua Fei: "!!" How do you know this?
"Princess, have you seen this too?"
"Be quiet!" Princess Gao Ning interrupted her, dissatisfied, "Look at your unproductive appearance, so what?"
The princess is the emperor's daughter, and people don't have to worry about getting married.
"Then have you been sneaking out to see him like this?" Hua Yu suddenly remembered something and came back to her senses in surprise, "Could it be that on the day of the Rain Festival, you also went to look for him?"
Princess Gao Ning grinned.
Hua Wei picked up the teacup, indicating that she needed to calm down.
Gao Ning said in surprise again, "Hua Yan, you don't have to be so surprised, this is normal in Chang'an, have you seen so many young masters here? ”
Hua Yu almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, is the atmosphere in the capital so open?
"The Lotus Pavilion is a place for everyone to get acquainted with each other, as long as you are willing to do so, you can have a good relationship. ”
"Thank you princess for your kindness, but I'm a Taoist priest, so forget it. Hua Wei smiled.
"It doesn't matter if the Taoist priest is there," Princess Gao Ning said indifferently: "Forget it, you will know it if you stay in Chang'an for a long time, I just tell you, this is not a dirty place, if you like which prince you can boldly make friends, if you don't like it, you can refuse it happily, don't hang people's appetites, want to indulge, this is not a place for those sounds." ”
Hua Wei said sincerely: "Good princess, I must not break the rules." ”
Princess Gao Ning continued to look at Cui Li obsessively and ignored her.
——
At dusk, the palace of King Huai.
Dongwu said: "Your Highness, Lord Murong Guan did go in the direction of Jihua Mountain, but our people couldn't keep up. ”
"What else?"
"What's more, Princess Gao Ning and Chief Ikebana went to the Lotus Pavilion today. ”
Nangong Yi frowned, "What are you going to do there?"
"Cui Li also went......" Dongwu was a little embarrassed, he couldn't talk nonsense about the princess.
Nangong Yi paused for a long time before commenting softly: "Good boy, it's all bad, you go down." ”
Dongwu retired, and Nangong Yi continued to look down at the fold, but he was upset and didn't read a word again.
