Chapter 108: Freshen up
The county magistrate of a small county on the outskirts of Beijing was running out of breath, holding a strip of cloth high in his hand, shouting all the way: "Your Highness! Your Highness has news! ”
Then, Li Chen felt a flower in front of him, and then looked, the man in front of the jade case was outside the threshold, and he also ran to the county order, and commanded loudly: "Quick!" Present! ”
It was just a blink of an eye, and Li Chen couldn't believe what had just happened.
Jump out.
The awe-inspiring and noble East Palace, which was known as a saint, actually turned out of the jade case with a hand the moment he heard the news.
Not to mention that he has completely lost his dignity, he is like a monkey, and he is in a hurry to mess up the rules.
So, seeing that more and more palace people were shocked by the actions of the East Palace, they all surrounded them, and Li Chen's heart was horizontal, and he chased after him.
"Your Highness! Deportment! Deportment! ”
Zhao Xixing, who was in front, rushed to the county order, grabbed the strip of cloth, and without saying a word, he directly ordered someone to get the royal horse, changed his clothes, and galloped away across the horse.
This series of movements did not hesitate at all, and as soon as Li Chen caught up with him, the man's back disappeared outside the red bronze door.
Li Chen thumped his chest and had to shout: "Long Xiangwei!" Long Xiangwei, who is exclusive to the East Palace, still doesn't follow up and secretly protects?! If His Highness has a good one, Jiao'er can't wait to eat and walk around! ”
A group of dragon guards hurriedly chased after them. On the red copper door, there is one less crown prince in the imperial palace, and there is one more Yan Jialang among the people.
Zhao Xixing, who was dressed in cloth, galloped all the way, although the little girl who passed by fell in love with his skin and chased the horse with a red face, but no one recognized him in the end.
An hour later, without stopping, the horse's hooves stopped in a village in a small county on the outskirts of Beijing.
Zhao Xixing recognized Douxi's family, turned over and dismounted, and ran towards his house, but he didn't run two steps, and suddenly stopped, and his sweaty face had a hint-
Guilty.
"This uncle is invited." He turned to a villager sitting in the field smoking a hookah. Said politely, "May I ask what to look at below...... How is it? ”
The villager chirped the cigarette holder, inexplicably, and spit out a sentence for a long time: "You young man, you look good...... It's just that the brain is not very good. ”
After that, the villagers hurriedly walked away, for fear that Zhao Xixing would catch up.
Zhao Xixing looked left and right again, walked to a lady who was drying pickles on the grinding plate, and said, "Hello lady, do you think you are in the next ...... How is it? ”
The eldest lady stretched out her hand and patted the man, smiled, revealing two rows of missing teeth: "Too thin, not strong!" My brother eats five bowls of rice at a time, can you? ”
Zhao Xixing shook his head. Grabbed a child who ran past with a candy man and stuffed him with a candy: "Brother, let me ask you, what do you think of the big brother...... How is it? ”
The boy chewed on the candy and slurred his words: "Big brother has money to buy candy, good man!" ”
Zhao Xixing sighed. Thoughtfully took a few more steps forward, and he could already see the fence of Douxi's house, but his steps slowed down more and more.
The heart is like a leaky bubble, poking a hole out of nowhere, and the temperament is all leaking out, and after a while, it is empty and panicked.
"It's not right, it's not right...... You can't go directly to ......" Zhao Xixing spun around in place, rubbing his hands, and chanting words.
In the East Palace, where tens of millions of people once followed, the crown prince who was above 10,000 people under one person, lost all his courage and self-confidence when he was one step away from that person.
She suddenly avoided it, it must be related to another him, the unsolvable situation of Huangquan Biluo, and what position can he take to bring her back.
At the time of his appearance, he was always an outsider in her eyes.
Zhao Xixing felt a sense of powerless frustration. Obviously, she was in front of him, but he didn't dare to knock on the wooden door.
With his fists clenched in his sleeves, Zhao Xixing rushed into a shop next to Douxi's house and slapped a jade wrench on the counter.
"It's sinking under the sun. Please allow me to borrow it for a few days, and the wrench will be used as housing and food. ”
A silk thread on the body of the East Palace is worth a lot of money. The shopkeeper recognized the goods, and was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly cleared a room for Zhao Xixing in the back garden.
"Yan Gongzi, take a look, what else do you need? Just tell me! Childe is generous, I won't lose you! ”
Zhao Xixing nodded, shook his head again, sat down in front of the bronze mirror, and touched his chin with green stubble.
"Please find me a shaving knife, a soap horn, a basin of water, a grate, a hairpin, bright clothes, and a nice smell of incense."
The shopkeeper listened staggeringly. This series of Gu Pixiang's requests, is it a son or a little boy who comes to borrow it?
But for the sake of the wrench, the shopkeeper didn't talk much, quickly found something for Zhao Xixing, and then closed the door and retreated.
Zhao Xixing looked at the face in the mirror, everyone said that he was born well, but he was defeated in front of the ordinary and pale man.
It's him again.
Zhao Xixing gritted his gums. Slowly picked up the knife, wiped the soap foam, and began to shave the stubble that he had grown for a while.
He didn't often do this kind of thing with his own hands, so he shaved very carefully and patiently, for fear of leaving a stubble and teaching her not to be happy when he saw it.
After shaving the stubble, the face in the mirror returned to white and perfect, and the hesitation and stumbling of the rest of the month were all because of her.
Zhao Xixing nodded. began to comb his hair again, combing every strand of hair properly, and finally put on a simple and neat wooden hairpin, and the person in the mirror became more and more radiant.
In the end, he took off the cloth clothes that he hurriedly left the palace with gloves, and changed into a green coat brought by the shopkeeper, which was said to be the fashionable color of this season, and the little girl liked it.
Clothes, shoes and socks, all with incense, clean incense around the body, and even the face close to the bronze mirror, pulled a long messy eyebrow, the man only got this "grooming and dressing".
He Zhao Xixing was born in a noble family, and his natural appearance is extraordinary, so he is not and does not need to be a person who pays attention to appearance.
But now that it is coming to her, there is still him in the dark, and he Zhao Xixing has weakened his temperament, feeling that he is not good at anything, and he has no bottom in his heart.
Zhao Xixing sat down at the gate of the garden, broke a willow branch, and while pulling the mud of the country road where the soles of his shoes were sticky, he pondered how he would talk if he saw it.
"I haven't seen you for many days, where have you been, why are you avoiding me?" Zhao Xixing hesitated, and hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no." She will definitely say that you have something to do with your Highness. ”
"Or ...... April, spring solstice, this temple has been waiting for you? Zhao Xixing thought about it again, but still felt inappropriate, "No, no." She will definitely think I am flamboyant, Emperor Zhou Ai will never say that. ”
After more than a dozen words of negation, Zhao Xixing cleaned the soles of his shoes, and the feet that he wanted to step out retracted.
He paced around the garden with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows were lightly locked, and Long Xiangwei, who was secretly guarding the sect, was dazzled, if he didn't care about the monarch and ministers, he really wanted to rush out and scold him.
Arouse.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper greeted from the front yard: "Douxi, where are you going out?" Yo, is this girl your relative, she is handsome! ”
Zhao Xixing was excited, and immediately pulled out his legs and rushed to the front yard.
