In front of the Suzaku Gate, the main gate of the Imperial City, the forbidden army guarding the gate is changing shifts. A group of palace maids wearing conical hats walked out of the imperial city. lined up one by one and waited for the forbidden army to check the waist card. Unlike the other palace maids, the two little palace maids, one red and one blue, were chattering non-stop. To be precise, the little palace maid in red kept talking.

In this way, the little palace maids who had just entered the palace saw a lot, so they didn't stop it. After checking the waist cards one by one, the palace maids walked out of the Suzaku Gate, and each boarded the carriage in twos and threes and walked away. When it was time for the little palace maid in red to hand over the waist card. A gust of wind blew, and the taper hat of the little palace maid in red was blown away by the wind.

"Oops, my cone." The little palace maid in red turned around and was about to chase after her, but at this moment, a sturdy forbidden soldier bent down to pick up the cone hat and handed it to the little palace maid in red. The little palace maid in red took the cone hat with a smile and said to the forbidden army: "Thank you for this big brother, big brother, you are really ~~~~ good." ”

The forbidden soldier's face was flushed, his eyes were staring at the little palace maid's tender face that could be broken by snapping his fingers, and her big eyes were frequent, and she was speechless for a while.

"Hehehehe, big brother, why don't you speak? Do you like me? Big brother, do you think I'm good-looking? The little palace maid said as she twisted Xiao Man's waist and posed several times. The Praetorian was so ashamed that he didn't know what to do. Now he finally understood what the fire chief had just said.

The fire chief said: "You recruits, I don't know what good things you did in your previous life, and you were assigned here. Although we don't have any military merits here, our eyes are very good. I'm afraid that after three years of serving here, you won't be able to look down on those country women anymore. But you have to remember that you can see, and you must not be tempted. Because even if you try to think about it, it will be in vain. Of course, you can't do it, whoever does it will be unlucky, and whoever does it will cut off which hand. If you dare to move your head, congratulations, you are dead, and when the time comes, don't blame the fire chief for not reminding you when the big head and small head are cut off together. ”

Of course, the forbidden army guarding the Suzaku Gate has a blessing, and the most important thing in the palace is beautiful women. At the end of this day, even a person who has never seen a woman in eight lifetimes will be aesthetically fatigued. However, the forbidden army obviously just arrived, and he was molested by the little palace maid before he passed the adaptation period. The veterans next to him just smiled but none of them came up to break the siege, this is a necessary process, and they came over like this back then.

"Peach Blossom, if you can't go, wow, the carriage is here." The little palace maid in blue held the conical hat in one hand and summoned the little palace maid in red at the same time.

"It's coming, it's coming. Goodbye, big brother, I'll come to play with you when I come back. The little palace maid in red waved her little hand at the forbidden army, and she jumped to the carriage.

"Ahem, I'm back to my soul, everyone is gone, what are you looking at. Have I forgotten what I told you? It looks like you're not far from being beheaded. The fire chief lit the head of the forbidden army and taught him a lesson.

Even if I am beheaded, I am willing, the forbidden army said secretly in his heart. It turns out that the little palace maid is called Peach Blossom, it really looks like a blooming peach blossom, and the forbidden army is still thinking about it.

"What do you want? Believe it or not, Chief Ben will let you clean the latrine now. ”

The fire chief kicked the forbidden soldier in anger. The veterans around him burst into laughter. The arrival of new recruits every year is the joy of these veterans, and it is tried and tested.

The little palace maid in blue in the carriage was complaining about Peach Blossom: "Why are you so rubbing, what is so good about a forbidden army, delay the business and be careful about your skin." ”

"Hehehehe, that big brother is so fun, why don't you try it, sister? It's interesting. ”

"Not interested, huh." The little palace maid in blue said proudly.

The carriage came to the mouth of a street, and the two little palace maids jumped out of the car in turn and walked into the alley. After a while, two teenagers walked out of the alley. One is dressed in brocade, and the other is dressed in green clothes. The young man in Tsing Yi was also carrying a bag on his back and a long knife in his hand.

"Childe, let's go." The young man in Tsing Yi said.

"Well, let's go. Let's go buy two horses first, so that we can leave Mukden as soon as possible, so that my uncle can take us back again. Now hire a carriage. Walk. ”

The young man in brocade swaggered in front, and the two of them came to the street one after the other to hire a carriage and headed towards the West Market.

There are traders who buy and sell cattle and horses in the western market. He Laosi is one of them, and today he made a good deal, and a big merchant asked for a dozen cows and six horses at once. This ticket is enough for He Laosi to eat for several months.

"Uncle~~~, I want to buy two horses."

He Laosi turned around and looked at the two beautiful children in front of him, and said with a happy smile: "Oh baby, you want to buy a horse." Uncle is full of good horses here, but you two should buy a gentle-tempered horse, which is safer. By the way, do you know how to ride horses? ”

The young man in Tsing Yi said, "Yes, my son-in-law and I can ride horses." Uncle, could you please pick two horses for us? ”

"Okay, wait. Uncle will pick the best for you, and don't charge much money, just give a capital. Heck, my girl likes to dress up as a man and ride a horse. Hahaha, wait, it'll be fine in a while. ”

He Laosi carefully selected two ponies that could just be ridden and brought them over, handed them to the two children and said, "You ride the white ones, and you ride the red ones." Don't be afraid that they are all trained, but they are docile. ”

After the young man in Tsing Yi gave the silver, the two of them turned over and got on their horses. He Laosi praised again and again when he saw it: "Good skills, not bad." ”

"Goodbye, uncle. Uncle, you are really ~~~ good. The young man in Tsing Yi said to the fourth child with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go, what's the fuss?"

The young man in brocade galloped away with a dozen horses, and the young man in Tsing Yi followed. The two of them ran out of Fengtian City one after another. Just as they ran out of Mukden City, the curtain on a four-horse carriage on the side of the road was lifted, and Li Ke's face peeked out of the window.

"Huh? How did I see the prince and Tao Hua riding out of the city? Am I dazzled? Li Fu, you ride a horse and follow the two teenagers just now, and see where they are going. ”

"Yes, sir." Li Fu hit his horse and left.

Li Ke hurried to the East Palace, today should be the day he taught the prince's scriptures. Emperor Suzheng would also come to the East Palace at this time to supervise the prince's study. When Li Ke came to the door of the prince's study in the East Palace, he saw Gao Ping standing in front of the door.

"Gao Nei Waiter? Why are you here? Is Your Majesty coming? Rick asked.

"Shhh No one is allowed to walk around the study or make loud noises. Those who violate the order will be beheaded. Gao Ping whispered.

"Is the prince here? What are Your Majesty and the Crown Prince doing? ”

Gao Ping shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our family doesn't know what Your Majesty and the crown prince are doing. At first, there was talk and laughter, but then it was silent. ”

"Inner servant, on the way here, the official seems to have seen the prince and Tao Hua riding out of the city. Please also ask the chamberlain to report to Your Majesty as soon as possible. ”

"No, the prince hasn't come out. Okay, I'll go and report to Your Majesty, and your lordship will wait a minute. ”

Gao Ping pushed the door and walked into the study, and then there was an exclamation.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. What's wrong with you. Lady Lee, come quickly. ”

Li Ke ran into the study in three steps and two steps, only to see Emperor Su Zheng reclining on the soft couch with a red face and sleeping Zhengxiang. Gao Ping rubbed his hands in a hurry.

"Wake up Your Majesty with cold water." Lick knew what was going on as soon as he saw it.

Gao Ping hurriedly dipped a towel in cold water and applied it to Emperor Suzheng's face. After a moment, Emperor Su Zheng slowly woke up.

"Rong'er, why did my father fall asleep? Rong'er, the potpourri you brewed is really good, and my father still wants to drink it. Rong'er, Rong'er? "Emperor Su Zheng opened his eyes and looked for the crown prince Long Xingrong.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is not here now. What's the matter, Your Majesty? Li Ke asked anxiously.

It turned out that Emperor Su Zheng came to the East Palace today and wanted to have a good time with his son. I don't want Long Xingrong to take out a bottle of potpourri brewed by himself, saying that it is made by picking the essence of a hundred flowers, and he wants to ask Emperor Su Zheng to try it. How could Emperor Su Zheng, the son of filial piety, refuse, so he took one bite after another, and after a while, he was dizzy and fell asleep.

As soon as Li Ke heard it, he knew that the two children must be the prince and Tao Hua. It must have been the crown prince who took the opportunity to get Emperor Su Zheng drunk and ran out of the palace to have a tour. As the crown prince, Li Ke really understands Long Xingrong's temperament too well. This kid is gifted and intelligent, he knows what he can learn, and he knows everything. It's just that the temperament is more lively.,It's the kind of character that you have to do if you want to do something.。 And do it when you think about it, without thinking about the consequences at all.

Long Xingrong had the idea of traveling the world for a long time, and he also told Li Ke about this idea. Li Ke was of course supportive, but repeatedly warned Long Xingrong not to worry. When you have the right opportunity, be sure to take him out to have a look. And assigned a lot of homework for Long Xingrong to complete. These lessons include historical allusions to Dayan, the geography and customs of each state. Li Ke did this to take advantage of Long Xingrong's interest in these contents to instill this knowledge in him. Unexpectedly, after Long Xingrong was honest for a while, he longed for the world outside the palace even more. He couldn't wait, so he thought of such a solution.

Emperor Su Zheng understood that he had been fooled by his son, so not only did he not get angry, but laughed and said: "My son is extremely smart, and he will be a promising king in the future." Gao Ping, who is the eunuch on duty in the East Palace today? ”

"An Dehai, the servant of the East Palace." Gao Ping hurriedly replied, and at the same time his heart sank.

"An Dehai, the servant in the East Palace, neglected his duties and let the prince out of the palace without forgiveness, and he was immediately killed. The maids and female officials on duty were guilty of the same crime as An Dehai and were killed with a cane. ”

"Your Majesty, An Dehai's sins are unforgivable, but those maids and female officials are not guilty. The old slave dared to ask His Majesty for mercy. Gao Ping knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Hmph, it seems that such useless people are kept to do anything, Gao Ping doesn't need to say much. Again, I will cure you for the sin of disobedience. ”

Emperor Su Zheng stood up and asked Li Ke, "The servant is here to find Rong'er?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister saw the prince and Tao Hua on the road and went out of the city in disguise. Your Majesty is not in a hurry, the minister has sent the housekeeper Li Fu to follow. However, the minister suggested immediately sending the elite of the Snow Wolf Guard and the best of the sons of the army, in civilian clothes, to follow and protect the prince. The prince wants to be aware of the people's feelings, which is what he should do as a prince. Your Majesty, the crown prince has such intentions, and Your Majesty should be happy. The minister suggested that there was no need to force the prince to come back, just to protect him and secretly guide the prince back to Beijing. ”

"Hehe, what Aiqing said is very agreeable. Rong'er has been taught by a master like you, and loved by an uncle like you, and I am very relieved. Just do as you say, but let Rong'er go back to the palace as soon as possible, otherwise I will miss him. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, with Tao Hua by the prince's side, the prince's safety should be safe, so the minister will send someone to chase the prince. The minister retired. ”

Emperor Su Zheng waved his hand, and Li Ke turned around and left quickly. Emperor Su Zheng looked at Gao Ping, who was still kneeling on the ground, sighed and said, "Get up, you are getting softer and softer now." Do you remember the years when we were in Liaodong? At that time, I and you, as well as Li Ke and Sikong Fu, were scared every day, and I didn't know when I would add a knife and axe. At that time, I understood that if I wanted to live, I had to be ruthless. Be cruel to others, and be cruel to yourself. Fortunately, my Rong'er doesn't have to be like me. Therefore, I will never allow Rong'er to have a little bit of a problem. Do you understand? ”

"The old slave understands, the old slave is confused, please punish Your Majesty."

"Alas, what are you being punished for? If you hadn't given me the only bread you had, would I still be alive today? Can't you see you stealing grass? Gao Ping, in the past, it was man-made to kill me for fish and meat. Now everyone's life and death are in my hands, and I don't want them to respect me, as long as they are afraid of me. Only in this way, after Rong'er ascends the throne in the future, when she wins the hearts of the people with a gentle strategy, she will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the old slave is beyond the reach of the dust. The old slave is willing to die for His Majesty to repay His Majesty's grace. ”

"Okay, wipe your tears, you look really ugly. Let's get to work. ”

Gao Ping praised again and again, and went out to arrange for the snow wolf guard to protect the prince. Emperor Su Zheng came to the desk and found handwriting on a piece of paper on the table. As soon as Emperor Su Zheng looked at the pen, he knew that it was written by his son.

"Father, Rong'er will come back in a few days when he goes out for a stroll, and please don't worry about my father and queen mother. Wait for Rong'er to come back and bring delicious food to her father. ”

Emperor Su Zheng held the powder paper with a doting smile on his face. This boy, don't you know your mind as a father? How can my father get drunk so easily, my father saw that you were uncomfortable and deliberately let you out of the palace. Come back early, or my father will really be worried.
