Chapter 31: Shopping
"What's the trouble, it's my honor to be able to take my cousin out to play. Aunt rest assured, I will definitely take a good look at my cousin. Rong Li assured.
"Then I'll go change my clothes, cousin will wait for me later." A-Ning said happily, and then hurriedly went back to his yard to change clothes.
A Ning was wearing a dark green embroidered plum orchid bamboo skirt inside, and a royal blue cloud brocade cloak outside. There are a few butterfly hairpins on his head, and he is very cute as A-Ning walks around.
As soon as A-Ning came out, he saw that Rong Li was already waiting there, still wearing a red brocade robe, but it was already late autumn, and Rong Li's clothes still looked a little thin.
"Isn't it cold for my cousin to dress like this, do you want to take a daddy's." Aning asked.
"No, that's fine, you can see my hands are hot, it proves that I'm not cold at all now." Rong Li said and stretched out his hand. A-Ning touched it lightly, and found that his hand was really hot, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the man's firepower was prosperous.
"Really, let's go." The two left.
Rong Li said that taking A-Ning to go shopping is really shopping, visiting famous shops in the capital, eating snacks with a good reputation, and buying some interesting gadgets. A-Ning was very happy all the way, but it was not convenient to eat with a veil on his face. When it was almost noon, the two came to Zuixiang Building, the largest restaurant in the city.
This Zuixiang Building is not only the largest restaurant in the capital but also the tallest building in the city, which is as high as a six-story building, and you can clearly view the scenery of the whole city if you stand on the top floor. It's just that the top floor of Zuixiang Tower has never been opened to the public, although some people want to go up, but they have never succeeded. It's not that no one has ever made trouble, but in the end, it's either not over or it doesn't end well, so even if people are still curious about what the top floor is like, they are also relieved when they think of the possible background behind Zuixiang Tower.
And the top floor of the drunken Xiang Building, which everyone is eager for, is now sitting on it leisurely with Rong Li and A Ning.
"I can't imagine that the mysterious owner of Zuixiang Mansion is actually my cousin, it seems that my cousin is worth a lot of money, so I'm still worried that the things you often give me will not cost me anything, it seems that I'm worried in vain, I don't know how much my cousin still has." A-Ning looked at what he said, with some inquiry in his eyes.
"If you want to know, you can explore slowly by yourself, anyway, I won't tell you, I told you a long time ago, and you have to worry about it in vain. The ones that were given to you are just gadgets, how much can they cost? Rong Li said arrogantly.
"Cousin, you see it's quite lively over there." A-Ning looked at Rong Li and nodded and didn't reply. Rong Li didn't reply, and A-Ning continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
"I heard that no, the one waiting for the execution below is the notorious Gonggong Xu, didn't you see that there are many courtiers who are watching, I heard that it is still allowed by His Majesty. It is said that this suggestion was proposed by the unfavored Seventh Prince, and I think he has been holding back in the cold palace for too long, so his psychology is distorted. A-Ning heard the people below talking.
"I said why is Zuixiang Tower so lively today, it turns out that everyone is watching the excitement, the location here is high, it is indeed a good place to watch the excitement, that is not Gonggong Xu?" Aning asked.
"How do you know it's not, little girl." Rong Li smiled.
"If you really hate someone, you won't let him die so easily. Although Ling Chi said that he was in some pain, it was nothing compared to the constant torture day and night, coupled with psychological torment. That's just what you want to show others, aren't they? A-Ning asked, looking into Rong Li's eyes.
"You said that you girl, you know me so well, should I kill you, save you from knowing so many things about me by then." Rong Li looked at A-Ning and said, his expression serious.
"Cousin, this looks so scary, will you really kill me?" Ah Ning said as if frightened, but he was not afraid at all.
"I can't bear it." Rong Li pointed at the tip of A-Ning's nose and said, with a smile on her lips.
"If one day you betray me, I will only drag you into hell with me, and I will not live alone." Rong Li said in his heart.
"Who is afraid of you, make that look." A-Ning said with a smile.
"Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, you will participate." Rong Li asked.
"It should be, I used to be young and weak, so my mother didn't let me go, but now it's much better, I guess I'll follow. And when the time comes, my grandmother will definitely take her sisters with her, and it should be very lively, cousin. ”
"If you go, I'll reluctantly go and see, you little girl is being bullied. Okay, let's eat, there's nothing to see outside," Rong Li said. Although it was not Gonggong Xu himself who was accepting Ling Chi outside, the execution was real. Rong Li didn't want to affect Aning's appetite because of the bloody scene.
Hearing Rong Li's words, Ah Ning pulled his head back from the window, looked at the things on the table and clapped his hands happily. The formal shabu-shabu on the table, the fragrant soup in the pot has a layer of chili oil floating on it, and the seats are filled with a variety of fresh vegetables and sliced meat as thin as cicada wings, which makes people very appetizing to watch.
"Drink some of this to warm your stomach first." Rong Li handed a cup of goat's milk boiled with almond and jasmine tea to Aning.
"My cousin still loves me." A-Ning said happily.
"It's not time to scold me behind my back, this soup base looks spicy and is actually more fragrant, so it's okay to eat less. After eating for a while, let Ling Chun and them change your clothes for you, so that there will be no smell, and you don't have to worry about your aunt finding out. Rong Li said.
"It's still my cousin's thoughtfulness." A-Ning drank goat's milk with a smile and watched Rong Li pour the vegetables and meat on the table into the bottom of the pot. A Ning found that Rong Li's hands were really beautiful, and they were as white as mutton fat and jade, but the fingers were slender but the knuckles were not prominent, and they looked very beautiful. But what A-Ning thought was that except for Rong Li, who was not favored by her emperor's uncle, other places were really perfect.
Most of this meal is Rong Li taking care of A Ning's meal, but he eats very little, in fact, strictly speaking, his stomach is weaker than A Ning. In those years, the days in the cold palace were often hungry and full, and even if there was food, it was cold, although it was later recuperated, but the root of the disease in the early years was not so easy to heal. There like A-Ning has been educated and carefully conditioned since he was a child, so his diet is more vegetarian and light, and he is not used to eating such heavy food.
"Full? Even eating a pot can make you so satisfied. Rong Li looked at A-Ning leaning on the chair with her stomach in her arms, very satisfied.
"Of course, if you can only eat once in half a year at home, what is the concept of half a year? It's better to be a cousin, and if you're hungry in the future, you'll find your cousin, anyway, this is yours, even if I come in the future, can it be free. Aning said mischievously.
