Chapter Forty-Six: Eighteen Phases (I)
Everyone wanted to leave, but the eldest princess of Yuzhen couldn't stop her, in fact, she just opened her mouth to persuade He Zhizhang, and when she saw that everyone followed suit, she knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she turned her head and glanced at Li Xi, he seemed to be so drunk that he couldn't do it, and he was already lying on the withered yellow grass at this time, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.
By the time everyone was gone, Li Xi was already lying there asleep.
At this time, a little Taoist boy came over and was worried about the eldest princess Yuzhen, "Suffer, this gentleman came by Li Shaanzhou's carriage, and now that Li Shaanzhou has left, how can he go home!" ”
Hearing this, before the eldest princess Yuzhen could speak, Li Xi seemed to have suddenly woken up a little more, lying on the grass and waving his hand, "Come, come here, Brother Jiao, Brother Shizhi, please take me for a ride......
The eldest princess of Yuzhen smiled bitterly when she saw this, seeing Li Xi's appearance, she was really hesitant in her heart, and finally she looked up at the sky, there was still more than an hour before it would be dark, but she knew that people who were used to getting drunk often slept for a day, but she didn't know if Li Xi could wake up before dark, so she said to the Taoist boy next to him: "You immediately sent someone to ride a horse to Mr. Ziyue's house to inform you, although it is not early, but if you want to come to his house, you will still send someone to pick him up." ”
When the boy heard this, he quickly turned around and left.
Here, Princess Yuzhen hurriedly brought someone to drag Li Xisheng to a guest room in the annex, so she served him and let him lie down.
When everything was over, the eldest princess Yuzhen was sweating slightly, and then sat on the small stool next to the couch, looking at Li Xi's sleeping face, listening to his long breathing, her heart was numb.
As far as she is concerned, of course, she subconsciously rejects and rejects such things as love between men and women, so even now, she still has a little anger towards Li Xi in her heart, but for some reason, Li Xi's drunken confession made her want to blame but couldn't bear it.
At this time, seeing that he slept so peacefully, and even gradually began to snore slightly, the eldest princess Yuzhen sat quietly next to the couch for a long time, and finally shook her head and sighed, then got up and tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and then was about to go out, but her hand had just been released from the quilt, but Li Xi suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
The eldest princess of Yuzhen was startled, and when she subconsciously looked back, she saw Li Xiyu closing her eyes, and while dragging hard, Yuzhen was about to fall on him, but on the other hand, she closed the hand of the eldest princess of Yuzhen, and at the same time murmured in her mouth: "Hua slave, come, let's incense one, you want to kill me......"
The eldest princess of Yuzhen let out a sigh of relief while reaching out to support her body on the edge of the couch.
I thought Li Xi was just pretending to sleep, what kind of weirdness was he going to borrow wine and pretend to be crazy. Hearing him vaguely mention "Hua Nu", which seemed to be another woman's name, she knew that she was thinking wrong. But then I couldn't help but take a sip of myself, what is this, why is I so cranky today?
After trying her best, she finally pulled her hand out of Li Xi's hand, she didn't dare to approach the couch anymore, and when she saw that Li Xi was sleeping peacefully, she turned around and walked out of the guest room.
About an hour later, Geng Xin rushed over with a carriage, but by this time, Li Xi had already fallen asleep, and after thanking Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Geng Xin brought the coachman to carry Li Xi away.
This drunk beating people is either soft and without any strength, or he is afraid of people with great strength, and Li Xi was disturbed in his dream, which belongs to the latter type. Geng Xin took a heartwarming kick, his face turned green, and when he wanted to continue to carry Li Xi, once he played with it, he didn't know why, Li Xi woke up instead.
Turning his head to look at the people in the room, he gradually reacted, he must have drunk too much and fell asleep, and then he couldn't help but say: "Brother Shizhi is not a friend enough, I came in his carriage, he actually left me here, and I will definitely talk to him when I turn back, what is the reason for being a friend?" ”
The eldest princess Yuzhen's face was slightly red when she heard this, and she could naturally vaguely guess Li Shizhi's thoughts.
At this time, seeing that Li Xi woke up, Yuzhen hurriedly sent someone to get water, and he had already slept for more than an hour.
He staggered to his feet, and slammed the eldest princess Yuzhen, bluffing Yuzhen, but he couldn't dodge, and when Li Xi straightened up, he listened to him: "It's really embarrassing, I was drunk, disturbing the purity of His Royal Highness's treasure land, guilty of sin, and please don't blame Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
The eldest princess of Yuzhen was originally worried that he would be entangled after waking up, and her heart couldn't help but be slightly tightened, but when she saw that he woke up, although his expression was clear, it was as he said when he was drunk, that matter was only said once, and he would never be entangled after that.
It's just that for some reason, seeing Li Xi talking and laughing freely, as if she had never said what she had said after drinking just now, she couldn't help but feel a slight loss in her heart.
Lightly erasing the topic, the two chatted a few more words, Li Xi saw that it was not early, so he got up and said goodbye.
At this time, most of his drunkenness had faded, and his mind was completely sober, and he naturally remembered what happened after drinking just now. But he also knows that this kind of thing can only be as he said, and it is just a drunken confiding, for himself, there is also Wulan's identity crisis waiting for him to bear it, and there is a hurry to be an official, to be a big official, and the invisible impulse to eliminate the Anshi Rebellion is waiting for him to realize, and even, there is a generation of beautiful women Yang Yuhuan who is far away in Luoyang at this time...... Therefore, whether it is a princess or an eldest princess, she can't afford to provoke herself.
So, he said goodbye to the eldest princess Yuzhen very soberly, but he said that he asked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess not to send it far, but the eldest princess Yuzhen insisted on sending him to the door, but he did not refuse.
Along the way to the door, the eldest princess of Yuzhen was upset, and just walked beside Li Xi, silent.
In this heart, I can't tell whether it is relief, relief, or a lingering faint loss, or some.
Until he reached the door, Li Xi stopped, turned his head to look at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was obviously not a deep thinker, and somehow moved in his heart, smiled, and suddenly asked: "Yuzhen Immortal ......"
Yu Zhen was taken aback when she heard this, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that Li Xi suddenly changed her voice and called her own Taoist name, but she didn't know what he meant, so she was just a subconscious joker, "Mr. Zi said slowly, and the poor road is not sent." ”
Li Xi smiled and said, "I want to send it, I want to send it." ”
He rubbed his head and said, "I'm still a little dizzy after drinking, I'm afraid I can't sit in the car, once I sit in the car, I must be even more dizzy, if the fairy chief is fine, why don't you just accompany Xi for a walk?" It's all about giving me a ride. ”
The eldest princess of Yuzhen was slightly surprised when she heard this, he knew in his heart that it seemed that it was better to refuse this request, because she didn't need any experience, she almost subconsciously felt that if she gave it away, she was afraid that she would have to send some accidents. But at this moment, after glancing at Li Xi, she somehow felt that she couldn't say anything to refuse, so she hesitated for a moment, then she just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I'll also go, and I'll give Mr. Ziyue another ride." ”
Li Xi smiled, so he waved his hand and asked Gengxin and them to drive the carriage to follow behind, and the Yuzhen Annex also sent a carriage to be far behind it, and then Li Xi and the Yuzhen Taoist priest in an apricot yellow robe walked down the street like this.
This year, the whole Tang Dynasty is close to rain, in the spring, Jiannan Road has a catastrophe, although the Guanzhong area where the imperial court Gyeonggi is located is much better, there is no catastrophe, but from spring to autumn, this rain is always an inexhaustible appearance, sunny two days, it will be two days, it is almost a whole year, the temperature throughout the country is much lower than in previous years, and the climate is also much wetter. The same is true for the Guanzhong region.
At this time, it is already the middle of September, and Chongyang has passed for several days, and the weather is naturally getting cooler and cooler, but only in this way is the autumn air getting thicker and heavier, but there is a twilight autumn scenery that cannot be seen in the south. It's just that after the red moon falls in the west, the temperature will drop sharply immediately.
Seeing that she hadn't gone far, the eldest princess of Yuzhen had already rolled up her sleeves slightly, and she seemed to be a little chilly, Li Xi felt that it was inconvenient for her to do those bloody things of dressing beautiful women, so she opened her mouth to divert her gaze and asked, "Does Yuzhen Immortal often come out for a walk by himself?" ”
"Oh, no, don't hide it from Mr. Zi, this is the first time that Poor Dao has come out and walked around like this." She replied.
Think about it, with the dignity of a princess, even in her most depressed childhood, she was in and out of the carriage, and when she grew up, she became a monk, and she yearned for the art of immortals, she only liked to be quiet, not noisy, but it was really unlikely that she would go out and hang out with people like now.
Chang'an has always been known for its prosperity, just at night, the lights of thousands of homes are lit up one after another, many shops along the street are not in a hurry to close, and they have hung lanterns, and even the hawkers who walk the streets and alleys, the front of the car always carries a faint yellow lantern, so that the whole street looks like it is lit up and candles are out of the way, and there is an inexhaustible hazy charm.
This charm is just right for her appetite.
In addition, along the way, although there were bustling people around them, they walked side by side with Li Xi, and the two talked lightly from time to time, as if they felt that the streets, pedestrians, shops, and candlelight were all thousands of miles away.
Although it was noisy, it was surprisingly quiet around him, especially in his heart.
As she walked, she slowly exhaled, "I didn't expect that shuttling between the markets could be so leisurely." ”
Li Xi smiled, looked at her, and suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered a good story, do you want to hear it?" ”
Yuzhen turned his head to look at him, and smiled like a child, "Okay, let's talk about it." ”
