For Princess Ninghe's invitation, Li Sangrou was busy for two or three days.

On the fifth day of the new year, Gu Xi sent Ruyi over to deliver the message, and on the sixth day of the new year, he waited for them outside the Donghua Gate and took them into the palace.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, when the hour was stuck, Li Sangrou took the black horse and the golden retriever and arrived outside the Donghua Gate a little earlier.

When Gu Xi came on horseback, Li Sangrou was standing in front of the Donghua Gate, looking bored from the bottom of the Donghua Gate, looking a little bit, weighing where he could borrow strength if he climbed up.

Gu Xi saw the dark horse from afar.

The dark horse is too conspicuous: a big red semi-long shirt with a big red head, you can see it from a long distance, it is too red.

He didn't dare to take the folding fan, the folding fan was used for posing music, and when he entered the palace today, he couldn't put it on music.

The golden retriever was still dressed as usual, but he changed his Xia Bu clothes into silk clothes.

Li Sangrou is dressed up in makeup.

Although the hair is only combed into the most common bun, it is much more solemn than the usual casual grabbing.

There is a red gold hairpin in the bun, and a red gold flower is used to cover the temples.

The clothes are not the usual men-like and woman-like dress.

An indigo bandeau and a blue gray long skirt are covered with an indigo placket on the outside, which looks very refreshing and heroic.

Gu Xi jumped off the horse, looked at Li Sangrou who came up with her, glared at her, and couldn't react for a while.

"Yes, it's you...... Miss Li, big boss, this is the first time you wear a skirt. Gu Xi suddenly panicked.

"It's not the first time!" The black horse immediately stretched out his head, "Wearing this skirt, our boss also kicked twice, it's embarrassing." ”

"That grandmother, what to say, clothes are also etiquette, saying what clothes to wear in the palace and what clothes not to wear, very particular, the boss really can't help it." The Golden Retriever also came up and looked at their boss with sympathy.

"Ah, no, that, Miss Li, let's go, it's almost time." Gu Xi didn't hear what the dark horse and the golden retriever said clearly, he was still confused, and he found out for the first time that Li Da was a woman who should wear a skirt.

Gu Xi's stunned gaffe, Li Sangrou was not surprised. When she put on this and came out, Xiao Luzi ran around and stared at her like this.

Gu Xi held his face with his hands behind his back, and just walked forward.

Li Sangrou followed his steps, looking around as she walked.

The black horse and the golden retriever followed behind Li Sangrou left and right, and the four eyes they saw were not enough at all.

This is the first time they have actually entered the Imperial City! Walk on that straight avenue that leads to east and west.

In the houses on both sides of this avenue, there are prime ministers, scholars, and generals, all of whom are amazing officials, which is really an eye-opener!

At the gate of the palace city, Qianshan was already waiting, and when he saw Gu Xi and Li Sangrou and others, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, trotted to the front, and led forward.

This routine is a new meeting, because the emperor's health has not been very good, he just responded to the scene, and did not invite guests.

In a small garden behind the Chuifu Palace, the eldest prince Gu Jin was sitting in a wheelchair, talking to the second prince Gu Qi, Shen Mingshu was standing next to him, shaking a folding fan, and he didn't know whether he was obedient or enjoying the scenery.

In the pavilion leaning on the tall rockery next to her, Concubine Shen Xian sat in the circle chair, slightly lowered, and in the other circle chair, sat Mrs. Han, the mother of Shen He, Marquis of Yongping, and the two were talking.

Next to the two, at a large round table, sat Princess Ning He and two or three young ladies, curiously playing with the new gadgets on the table.

Seeing Li Sangrou and Gu Xi coming in, Ning and Princess Ning cheered, stood up and ran out.

For a while, Li Sangrou was afraid of the heat, so she only said that there was something wrong and avoided her, she hadn't seen Li Sangrou for a month.

"Sister Li! You look so good in this dress! Sister Li, you are so good-looking! Princess Ning He ran to Li Sangrou with her skirt and admired first.

Li Sangrou smiled at her enthusiasm and praise, and didn't know what to say.

In recent years, I have praised her for killing people and killing well, and praised her for her good looks, this is the first time.

"The dark horse's clothes are also good-looking, so good-looking!" Ning and the princess turned around, looked at the red black horse, and giggled.

"I said that I was happy to enter the palace, and the boss said that I looked good in red." The black horse tugged at his collar, quite proud.

"Golden retrievers are also good-looking!" Princess Ning He finally stopped laughing, and hurriedly praised the golden retriever again.

"You're good-looking!" The dark horse answered quickly, and as he spoke, he patted the golden retriever with a sympathetic face.

"People are princesses, they say one is one, they never talk nonsense, you think it's you!" The Golden Retriever slammed back unceremoniously.

Li Sangrou ignored the two of them, followed Princess Ning He, and was about to move forward, when the second prince Gu Qi beckoned to Ning and the princess.

Princess Ning He laughed, first next to Li Sangrou, and said in a low voice: "I heard that I invited you to come, so the second brother greeted me, saying that he was going to take a closer look at you, and he would say a few words to you." ”

Li Sangrou smiled and nodded.

The two of them passed, and Princess Ning and Princess bent their knees slightly, even if they had all seen the ceremony, Li Sangrou started from the eldest prince Gu Jin, and bowed his hands one by one, including Shen Mingshu.

"What kind of etiquette is this?" Shen Mingshu frowned.

"Fuli is really too difficult to learn, the grandmother said: Shen Niangniang is very compassionate and generous, deaf and clear-sighted, this respectful heart has arrived, it doesn't matter if you give it up or give it away." Li Sangrou replied to Shen Mingshu's words, but looked at the second prince Gu Qi with a smile.

"Niangniang does have such a temper, and I don't care about that. Da Lang has always been picky and exquisite, you don't pay attention to her. The second prince, Gu Qi, said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Sangrou arched her hand and replied neatly.

Gu Jin showed a slight smile, Shen Mingshu pursed his lips tightly, and his face turned blue.

The second prince, Gu Qi, laughed, "Ah Yue said that you speak straightforwardly, it's true." That is the dark horse? Really," the second prince couldn't help laughing, "The word Yuncan, it's a good one." ”

The black horse stood two or three steps behind Li Sangrou, and his face was praised by the second prince and flashed with black light.

"Next month, I will ask all the scholars in Beijing to meet in Yingxiangchi, and you will also come, with black ...... Bring Yuncan, and the golden retriever, I heard that there are a few brothers, if you are willing to go, you can also go together, there are many people. The second prince, Gu Qi, looked at Li Sangrou and invited.

"Yes." Li Sangrou bowed his hand.

"I'll go too! When the time comes, I will accompany Sister Li to go. Princess Ning immediately answered and smiled.

"Take Miss Li to see Niangniang." Gu Jin smiled and motioned to Princess Ning He.

Princess Ning He responded happily, Li Sangrou gave up her hand again, bowed back one by one, followed Princess Ning He, and went to the pavilion.

When she went up the steps of the pavilion, she was greeted by a burst of cool air, and Li Sangrou couldn't help but take a deep breath of this rare refreshing cool air.

The people in the pavilion were all looking at Li Sangrou.

Li Sangrou followed the guidance of the grandmother, knelt down, and kowtowed to Concubine Shen Xian.

When you enter the countryside, you have to follow the customs, and you always have to knock a few heads, she is prepared, just kowtow.

Kowtowed, Concubine Shen Xian smiled and instructed Princess Ning He to ask her to get up, watched Li Sangrou stand up, pointed at Old Madam Han and said with a smile: "This is Old Madam Han of the Marquis of Yongping's Mansion." ”

Li Sangrou bowed his hand.

"This is the first time the old lady has seen her, right? She is the big boss of Shunfeng, and even the emperor praised her, saying that she is not simple. Concubine Shen Xian and Old Madam Han laughed.

"It's good to be raw." Old Madam Han looked at Li Sangrou, her face was full of smiles, but her eyes were full of coldness.

"The old lady has won the award." Li Sangrou smiled politely.

"I didn't expect Miss Li to be born so well." Concubine Shen Xian looked at Li Sangrou again, looking very admiring, "Come and sit here." ”

Concubine Shen Xian pointed to the circle chair next to her and motioned to Li Sangrou.

Li Sangrou bowed her hand again, thanked Concubine Shen Xian, and sat down on the circle chair she pointed out to her.

"I heard that your kung fu is on par with the world's son?" Concubine Shen Xian asked this sentence, she was really curious.

"How dare you compare with the son of the world." Li Sangrou was polite.

"The third brother said that if he really wants to fight for life and death, he can't beat Sister Li!" Princess Ning He answered with a smile very proudly.

Sister Li's kung fu is better than that of the third brother, and she is honored.

"I heard you're a killer?" Old Madam Han followed Princess Ning He, looked at Li Sangrou and asked.

"Yes." Li Sangrou looked at Mrs. Han, smiled, and simply replied yes.

"I heard that none of the people you were going to kill survived?" Old Madam Han asked again.

"The killer kills, either the other party dies or he dies, I'm still alive." Li Sangrou smiled and owed a debt.

"I've heard you're very bold." Old Madam Han followed after again.

"Yes, sleeping in the pile of dead people, eating and drinking under knives and guns are all common things." Li Sangrou replied with a smile.

"That's bold." Concubine Shen Xian sighed, and then smiled: "When I first heard about you, I said that you could have a tie with the prince, I thought, I don't know how to be five big and three thick, I didn't expect it to be such a good-looking little lady, but she is more heroic than ordinary little ladies, and this heroic spirit is rare." ”

"It's usually very coarse." Li Sangrou owes herself.

"It's very thick!" Ning and Princess Ning laughed while talking, "The hair is like this, in a clump."

Once, there was a strand of hair that always fell off and blocked Sister Li's eyes, Sister Li grabbed the tea needle with her hand, and with such a stroke, she cut off the strand of hair and threw it away.

I was stunned. ”

"Miss Li can cut off her hair with a tea needle, and it seems that she can kill people with a tea needle?" Old Madam Han pointed to the tea needle on the tea table next to her and immediately answered.

"Yes, not only tea needles, everything can kill, and the same is true of empty hands." Li Sangrou replied very simply.

"I always talk about killing, my cold is coming, let's not talk about this." Concubine Shen Xian glanced at Old Madam Han, then at Princess Ning He, and said with a smile: "You take your sister of the Li family to see those newly presented flowers and those little things." If you like it, take it. ”

In the last sentence, Concubine Shen Xian looked at Li Sangrou and smiled.

Li Sangrou responded with a smile, stood up, and together with Princess Ning and several other little ladies, she reluctantly walked out of the cool pavilion.

It's so cool in this pavilion!

Gu Xi instructed Ruyi and Qianshan to take the black horse and the golden retriever around, and sat on the other side of Gu Jin by himself, absent-mindedly in a daze.

"Li Da is dressed like this, it is really good-looking, sassy and fresh, with the style of the forest." The second prince, Gu Xi, followed Li Sangrou into the pavilion, took it back, looked at Gu Xi, and exclaimed.

Gu Xi glanced at the pavilion from time to time and hummed plausibly.

Shen Mingshu leaned at Gu Xi with great dissatisfaction, endured it again and again, and endured the words that came to his mouth.

Before coming today, Daddy told him not to talk much, and not to be rash.

He endured it first.

"I didn't sleep well yesterday, you talk, I'll squint for a while." Gu Xi didn't seem to want to speak, so after explaining, he closed his eyes and recuperated.

Gu Jin glanced at him, and then talked to Gu Qi.

In this royal routine meeting, very few people were invited, and the process was extremely simple.

Ruyi and Qianshan accompanied the dark horse and the golden retriever, and Princess Ning and Princess accompanied Li Sangrou, took a turn to look around and came back, and drank half a cup of tea, it was time to retire.

Gu Xi kept sending Li Sangrou to Fried Rice Lane, watched her enter the yard, and then got on the horse and went back.

Li Sangrou turned the shadow wall, her face sank, she went straight into her upper room with her hands behind her back, changed her clothes and came out, sat under the porch, grabbed the fan and fanned, and her face was gloomy.

In the evening, when it became more and more stuffy, Li Sangrou stood up, confessed, and went out of the courtyard to find the blind man.

The blind man was sitting in a shadow on the edge of the Yingxiang Pond, soaking his legs in the Yingxiang Pond, leaning against a big stone, napping.

Li Sangrou squatted next to him and patted him with a pu fan.

"Find someone else, it's too hot, I can't calm down, I can't figure it out!" The blind man waved his hand without looking back.

"You can't figure it out if you calm down, come up and find a place to drink." Li Sangrou stood up and said.

"Hey, it's you, it's so hot, what kind of wine to drink!

Why don't you pay for it, rent a boat, swing out of the East Water Gate, go to a place where no one is, and drink with the river breeze? The blind man hurriedly picked up his shoes and stood up.

"Okay. Let's go. Li Sangrou agreed very happily.

"Huh!" The blind man was stunned, stunned for a moment, and while jumping and putting on his shoes, he kept up with Li Sangrou, "You this, what's wrong?" You're so generous, but it's a bit unusual. ”

The blind man put on his shoes, stuffed the other end of the blind cane into Li Sangrou's hand, and followed Li Sangrou to the river, rented a boat, bought a few jars of good wine and put it on the boat.

After going out of the East Water Gate and walking more than a mile, the sky was already dark, and the full moon hung high in the sky.

There were no other boats in sight, and the shores were dark and the lights were shining in the distance.

Li Sangrou put down the oar, let the boat float along the water, sat down at the bow of the boat, took the wine pot and glass handed over by the blind man, and poured himself a drink.

"What's wrong?" The blind man sat down next to Li Sangrou and put his feet in the river.

Li Sangrou didn't speak, just drank the wine slowly, looked at the full moon, and looked at the sparkling river.

The blind man stared at her for a while, and then stopped talking, his feet dangling slowly in the river, drinking glass after glass.

"I once asked Dachang how many people die a day in this world, and how many people die unjustly." Li Sangrou drank until she was slightly drunk, and said slowly in a low voice.

The blind man turned his head to look at Li Sangrou.

"The black horse said that all the people in his family had to be unjustly killed, and the golden retriever asked me, what about his family? Is it considered an unjust death? Li Sangrou continued.

The blind man frowned slightly, looking at Li Sangrou with a gloomy expression.

"They're all going to have to be unjustly killed, right? But this hatred, how to count? Li Sangrou turned her head to look at the blind man.

"There are too many people who have died unjustly, hatred? Hey!

Like a dark horse, like a golden retriever, a family, a village, all of them are dead, and many of them are dead, and this hatred will be dead.

Something else, alas. The blind man sighed, "If you want to take revenge, if you want to ask for an explanation, you have to look at the enemy first, weigh it first, and then talk about whether you have revenge or not."

The enemy is weak, this revenge must be avenged, the enemy is evenly matched, this revenge cannot be avenged, the enemy is strong, then the gentleman has to take revenge, ten years is not too late.

If this enemy is as big as a dark horse or like the Golden Retriever family, he has no choice but to sigh, it is destined that natural and man-made disasters are God's fault. ”

Li Sangrou snorted slowly.

"There are also those who don't weigh up, so there are many more stories in the history books." The blind man raised his glass into the air.

"I'm a weigher." After a while, Li Sangrou said slowly.

"You're not." The blind man answered unceremoniously, "If you weigh it, it must not be your hatred."

Who is it for? The Zhanlu you said last time? ”

"It's not Zhanlu." Li Sangrou sighed, "Alas, it can be regarded as Zhanlu." ”

Li Sangrou poured a glass of wine, slowly spilled it into the river, poured another glass of wine, and then sprinkled it into the river.

"Is this the Lord's enmity? Did you say yes? The blind man looked at Li Sangrou and asked tentatively.

"I promised to do my best." Li Sangrou poured another glass of wine and took a sip.

"Found the enemy?" The blind man frowned.

"No, I don't want to look for it." Li Sangrou took a big sip of wine.

"You shouldn't have agreed in the first place, you are you, Zhanlu is Zhanlu, what family is that, it has nothing to do with it, you shouldn't have agreed to even try your best.

But it's just a matter of doing your best, you've done your best. The blind man raised his glass to Li Sangrou.

Li Sangrou lowered her eyes, didn't speak, for a long time, and sighed lowly, "You're right, I'm not Zhanlu, and Zhanlu is not someone else." ”
