Like the dim light, scattered in the city, it seems that there is no end to the troubles, stretching out.

The light and shadow reflected on the bluestone slab, with the passing of dusk, became bleak and faint, like a withered yellow torch, burning to the wick, about to extinguish, as usual, quiet, but very peaceful.

Perhaps, when there is something on the mind, will stop to enjoy such a scenery, or perhaps, seeing such a scenery will provoke troubled thoughts......

Li Shuang'er was standing at the door of Xu Chen's study at this time, walking back and forth, her eyes were uneasy, nervous, and a little excited, obviously pretending to be a belly full of words, and she didn't know who to talk to.

The floral cotton skirt fluttered up the corners of the skirt due to the evening breeze, and she vaguely felt the cold, Li Shuang'er paced a few steps, frowned, and knocked on the door.

But no one knocked on the door, Li Shuang'er clearly saw that Xu Chen had already returned to the house, and stood in front of the door for a long time, but there was no one inside, so she was not annoyed, flicked her sleeves, turned around and was about to walk away.

It just so happened that the colt and Zi'er came up, only to see Zi'er holding a thick stack of cotton clothes in her arms, piled directly up to her chin, and the colt was the same, the two of them went to get the finished clothes.

"Hey, isn't that a princess?" Zi'er saw Li Shuang'er standing at the door of the study from afar, and said a word, Xu Chen looked at it, and it was true.

Ming'er is about to go on the expedition, I still want to say goodbye to her, but I didn't expect this Nizi to come first, Xu Chen hugged this large pile of new ones, and the tailor in the princess's mansion drove three all-nighters to make it, after all, it was troublesome to make cotton clothes.

Zi'er Fei dragged him to get the clothes, and wanted those subordinates to send them over, but Zi'er didn't agree, and only when she went did she know that she had made thirty or forty pieces of various cotton clothes, and asked him to pick out some clothes he liked.

I was really shocked to see that pile of new clothes. Going out to fight, where is it used so much, Zi'er said that this is the princess's order, helpless, after all, it is a thought, and she picked a few pieces at random, but Zi'er was anxious, and she had to try them on one by one, which one looks good and which one to choose.

The people in the princess's mansion knew that the horse was friendly, and the eunuchs had tied up the horse and locked it up in a small black room. For this reason, I can't help but be afraid, for fear that the colt will remember to retaliate one day, but I am only worried for a few days, and I have known the temperament of the colt in the past few months, and I will not bother with them.

When Xu Chen first came, he even called the old lady who was washing clothes as a lady, which scared the old lady so much that she fell ill and foamed at the mouth and went into shock, which is also why Xu Chen is too unfamiliar with the ancient environment. Now it is definitely not so Meng Lang, there are naturally rules, Xu Chen just doesn't put on a show, and treats the eunuchs and maids as ordinary people. In this way, it is easy for people to have a good impression of the colt, and when they meet, they call "pony" and then salute, but the pony nods and smiles every time in response, but what is your identity. It has always been the case, rich and noble families are born with a sense of superiority. You can't pretend to be it.

In addition, Xu Chen's bank has taken some subordinates from the house to do things, and the treatment is extremely generous, even if it is his own business, he is also much more comfortable, no one scolds, and no one will scold him if he makes a mistake, in short, people live very well in the bank, and even some people specialize in learning arithmetic and making up for knowledge, just for the next time they recruit people to enter the bank. Therefore, Xu Chen's current status in the princess's mansion is no longer inferior to Li Shuang'er unconsciously.

It is also because Xu Chen's fame is too great, everyone in the capital knows that there is such a concubine, maybe it won't take long for the entire Tang Dynasty to spread the talent of the concubine, the noble and natural servants have a capital to show off, and when they meet acquaintances on the street, the subordinates will also compare the identity of the other party's master, and also, the family members in the prime minister's family are naturally more arrogant than the slaves in the ordinary officials.

In the early years, when the court meeting was held, the officials got up at three or four o'clock in the morning and entered the palace to go to the morning court, while the officials' coachmen waited outside, and those coachmen had such a level, and the coachmen of the prime minister's family naturally became the boss, and all the coachmen had to be in awe, and the coachman in the princess's mansion was heartbroken when he thought of this matter.

Even the guards in the princess's mansion and the soldiers who were married by the forbidden army were also subject to Xu Yuma's arrangement, and Xu Chen supported them, and they did everything they could, but they didn't even have the opportunity to show if they were to be used by the horses on weekdays

And there is a secret in the house, no one dares to talk about it, and no one is willing to talk about it, that is, it seems that the horse and the princess have not had a round house until now.

It took four or five months to get married, and the warm-hearted subordinates were just in a hurry, and the concubine and the princess were on weekdays

It doesn't seem that there is any discord, so why don't you sleep in the same room?

But when I think of the princess's violent behavior at the beginning, most of them sympathize with the horse, but the horse is fortunate to have a good temper and is not easy to deal with others, and now the reason for the difference must be because of the conflict at the beginning, but this has been so long, when is it the head? Naturally, there will be people who eat salty radishes and worry about it, although they don't talk about it, but they all see it in their eyes and don't dare to say anything.

Xu Chen saw Li Shuang'er knocking on the door in the study, and was about to turn around and walk away, but when he greeted him, he asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

Asking like this, she walked over from Li Shuang'er, pushed open the door, Zi'er hurriedly carried the clothes in, put them on the cabinet, put them in place, and saw that the princess had also entered the study, so she hurriedly retreated.

There were only two people left in the house.

Li Shuang'er came over, naturally there was something, but this matter was something she had been thinking about for a long time.

Xu Chen found a few books on the bookshelf, planning to stay on the road to read, after all, Hexi is not close, and the means of transportation in this era are very underdeveloped, and he has 3,000 forbidden troops, if he really wants to go to Hexi, at least 20 days, more than a month, this can really suffocate on the road.

This time, Li Shuang'er only stood in the study and looked at him, and did not speak, Xu Chen asked: "If you want to be fine, you can help me sort out my clothes and put them in that box." ”

After a pause and an "oh", Li Shuang'er obediently ran to the cabinet. I rearranged the unfolded clothes, then picked up a small stack and walked to the bookcase and put it in the box on the bookcase.

Xu Chen found the books he wanted to read with peace of mind, and he didn't feel a little uncomfortable at all because of calling Li Shuang'er, and Li Shuang'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him doing this, obviously the relationship between the two had already been greatly improved.

It's no wonder that in the past four months, as long as there is nothing important, Xu Chen will eat with Princess Shuang'er. And every time she eats, Li Shuang'er eats two bites, watching Xu Chen eat, if there is nothing in the field, the two of them will remain silent, if there is any tacit understanding between the two of them in the past few months, it is to remain silent.

There will be times when delicate relationships erupt, and the purpose of Li Shuang'er's visit today is obviously not to pack up Xu Yuma's clothes.

Li Shuang'er sorted out a small stack of clothes and put them in the box. But he suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Chen's back, was ruthless, and plucked up the courage to say, "I have something to tell you." ”

"You say yes." Xu Chen continued to flip through the bookshelves. Said lightly.

Li Shuang'er couldn't help but be a little unhappy when she saw him so casual, the princess was angry as soon as she got sick, she had a very serious topic to discuss with Xu Chen. But after thinking about it, he didn't tell the man what he was going to say, so he calmed his breath. In fact, I was already very nervous.

"Do you remember the agreement you made with me?"

Li Shuang'er reached into the box and fiddled, in fact, a pair had already been folded, but at this time, it was opened and folded in the box, and then it was opened and sat and repeated.

Obviously a little uncomfortable.

When Xu Chen heard this, he turned around and happened to meet Li Shuang'er's hurried eyes, but Li Shuang'er was busy lowering her head and pretending to fold her clothes.

"Huh? What conventions? Xu Chen was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't understand it.

"We said before, we will help you leave the princess's mansion safely, and we will not interfere with each other before leaving."

Li Shuang'er said this, her hand in the box was no longer folding clothes, she had already withdrawn from the pieces, and finally grabbed the collar with both hands and rubbed it back and forth.

At the time of the showdown, it was indeed said that in order to avoid greater misunderstanding, Xu Chen would choose the showdown, the situation at that time was that Xu Chen wanted to escape from this demon domain, and the old emperor was very concerned about the marital status of the two at that time, if he wanted to leave the princess's mansion safely, he could only make a solemn protest like the old emperor, but since the old emperor let the two get married at that time, it must not be so simple, and Li Shuang'er did that to Xu Chen, all kinds of reasons combined, things are not easy to do.

Now that it has developed to the point where it is today, it has been involved in the intricate power situation, and the opportunity to leave the princess's mansion safely is long gone, Xu Chen has now begun to use this opportunity to gain greater rights and protect the woman he loves, and now that Li Shuang'er brought it up, Xu Chen naturally understood what she meant.

I really haven't thought much about this matter, after glancing at Li Shuang'er, Xu Chen suddenly felt that he was too selfish, he wanted to use the identity of a colt to climb up, but he ignored Li Shuang'er's feelings, after all, the two are now husband and wife, Xu Chen does not leave the princess's mansion, it is really not good for Li Shuang'er, and it is clear during the showdown that once the two part ways, you look for your true son, and I look for my beautiful beauty, but now, such a stalemate, for a woman, it is indeed not a good thing.

In fact, I didn't have any dislike for Li Shuang'er for a long time, it was just the first impression at the beginning, this woman did so much to Xu Chen, but after getting along slowly, I felt that this woman was not so bad, and the whole idea was Li Cai'er's idea, so I slowly changed my opinion of Li Shuang'er.

I don't hate this woman, on the contrary, I still like it a little, Xu Chen can be sure that this kind of liking is just a dispensable feeling, not an ambiguity, and I don't want to do anything with her, after all, since the showdown, Li Shuang'er has never troubled herself, on the contrary, when she ignored her, she didn't hold a grudge, especially Li Shuang'er's remarks at the emperor's birthday banquet last time, which made Xu Chen feel that this little girl had nothing to say in addition to the princess's illness. Needless to say, the country is long. Thinking about it, after the showdown, Li Shuang'er never got angry with Xu Chen. This kind of liking can develop to the level of friends.

Since Li Shuang'er brought up this matter, it is time to discuss this serious issue, after all, she will not leave the princess's mansion, and with her current power, it is only possible to leave unless she makes a mistake and is slaughtered by the emperor, but it is a lifelong event for Li Shuang'er to continue like this. But Xu Chen now has to use the identity of a colt in pursuit of power, and after a moment of entanglement, he asked: "I remember this matter, but now it is not for you and me to make a decision, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Li Shuang'er put down the wrinkled cotton clothes that had been rubbed, straightened her chest, but her cheeks were flushed with pink, which was very charming, seeing that Xu Chen was looking at him, she finally mustered up the courage to say: "Since you and I are powerless now." It's better to make do with it, I don't dislike you......"

After speaking, Li Shuang'er's cheeks were crimson, like a big red cherry, and then she lifted her skirt for a moment and ran out with a smoke, leaving a stunned Xu Da Concubine.

Obviously surprised, Xu Juma failed to understand the chill in Li Shuang'er's inexplicable and sudden sentence, the prestige of the flower picking avenue has long since fallen into the dust of history with the passage of time, and now Xu Chen has long since lost his former brilliance. Dealing with emotional matters, it is very wooden.

Is she going to live with me and have children, or is she going to maintain the status quo and live in different rooms? I don't understand.

Li Shuang'er came out of the study with a red face and rushed all the way back to the attic. Plug in the door, close the window, then lie on the bed and pull the quilt over. Covering his head, he kept shaking his head, and his jade hand was still tapping on the bed board. Obviously a little angry.

Be angry with yourself. Fang Cai's words were definitely not what she was going to say, but when it came to the words she was ready to say, she didn't dare to say it, she was afraid of being rejected, a woman's heart is made of glass after all, and the most feared scene is nothing more than this.

The reason why Li Shuang'er was able to say such a thing was that she had indeed fallen in love with Xu Chen, and the relationship between the two had slowly eased from the very beginning, and now, Li Shuang'er had to admit this long-brewing emotion, because Xu Chen was going to go on an expedition for several months, so he dared to show his heart.

In the first impression, this man wanted to use her identity to gain wealth in addition to being lustful, and I still remember that I was taking a bath at the time, and this man broke in and bit him viciously, and then I heard that this colt was playing hooligan on the street, and the bad impression that followed made her feel unbearable, and the result was that this man took the lead in the showdown.

After the showdown, Li Shuang'er took a serious look at this man, and I have to say that a series of events have shocked her, how can this person compose poetry? Isn't this man a hooligan? In particular, the song "Untitled" at the emperor's banquet at the princess's mansion shocked Li Shuang'er for the first time, and later, the fame of this concubine has become bigger and bigger, and he even has the mind to do business......

Of course, these are not the most direct reasons why Li Shuang'er likes Xu Chen, but it is obviously an auxiliary effect, and it is the past few months of getting along that Li Shuang'er has gradually understood this colt, so that now she has a little liking, she has never felt such a way about a man, and it is this man who has been contradicting him and making her eyes drop that attracted her.

It's just that this faint liking made Li Shuang'er unable to extricate herself for a long time, she didn't know when she started to feel for this person, and she was even more afraid of the current embarrassing situation, after thinking about it for a long time, Li Shuang'er decided to say what was in her heart, but how could the words come out so easily, not to mention that she knew that this man had never shown an ambiguous attitude towards her, and she was always afraid of being rejected.

And the colt was about to go on the expedition, which led to Li Shuang'er's decision, which was a sudden feeling of adventure, until she said such a headless sentence, Li Shuang'er finally didn't dare to stay any longer, she believed that the pony could guess what she meant, but she didn't dare to confirm what the pony's attitude would be.

In fact, the feelings between the two have gradually grown a lot, even if Xu Chen is reluctant to admit it, even if Li Shuang'er always chooses to escape, but this is quietly happening, feelings are this thing, who knows, maybe after experiencing an incident, maybe they will only make a choice because of an unexpected situation......

In the early morning of this day, the Vermilion Bird Street was full of people in Chang'an, because today was the day when Xu Horse went on the expedition.

In the past few days, the news of the expedition of the horse has already spread in Chang'an, which caused a great sensation for a while, as the most famous person in this era, Xu Chen, who was upgraded to a national idol, this expedition is undoubtedly eyeball-earning, and the people of Chang'an are spontaneously waiting on the Vermilion Bird Street to send off the horse.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, the people are idle and bored, not just to watch the horses, this expedition is said to have 3,000 Praetorian Guards, the people are out to see the excitement, and they are indeed keen on this, where can the rows of Praetorian Guards travel can be easily seen.

Xingqing Palace, the main building of diligent government affairs.

In front of the building, there were soldiers standing in a square, the sun had just risen, although it was cold, the soldiers were standing tall and standing on the square, which was very spectacular.

Of course, the reason why he is so energetic is precisely because the emperor Lao'er wants to see off Xu Juma today, and he can't see the emperor once a year, so of course he has to behave well.

There are already many officials upstairs, this time the expedition is very large, the civil and military officials naturally cannot be absent, Xu Chen is wearing a military uniform and is waiting in the building, and the oath-taking ceremony is about to begin...... (To be continued......)
