Chapter 21: The Mid-Autumn Festival

At this time, Shu Ruo didn't realize that the words of the masked prince gradually disappeared from her mouth, and she didn't think about why she was looking forward to Leng Han's arrival so much.

Thanks to the care of the prince and the princess, business was good on the first day of opening. Shu Ruo invited everyone to Juxianglou for a big meal.

In the following days, the hour before the opening of the store is the time to study, learn literacy, debate and draw, settle accounts, etc. Shu Ruo occasionally painted a few paintings by himself, plus the store helped to consign, and collected a profit, and the store operated normally.

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. Because there are more friends, Jingyixuan is only open for half a day this day, not in the afternoon, and everyone spends the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

The Purple Morning Hall of the Imperial Palace, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. After a song and dance, the emperor spoke: "It's rare that the fourth child of the Mid-Autumn Festival is here this year, I haven't been so crowded for a long time, I am very happy." Today is a family banquet, everyone is free, I drank this cup first. ”

"Thank you father, long live your father, long live long live!"

"Emperor Xie, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

……

The emperor smiled, and Concubine Liu, who was sitting on the left side of the emperor, kept giving the emperor a look. Concubine Liu's younger sister, Liu Yuyan's aunt. The queen was a little displeased when she saw Concubine Liu's small movements.

The emperor saw it in his eyes, patted the hand of the queen, comforted him, and still spoke, "Little four, I heard Concubine Liu say that the eldest daughter of her niece Prime Minister Liu, Xiuwai Huizhong, did she send a portrait to your palace?" ”

"Back to my father, there are too many portraits sent to the palace, maybe the sons haven't had time to see it."

"Father, I know this, Yuyan and Caixuan both sent portraits to the fourth brother's palace, I'm afraid that the fourth brother didn't pay attention to it. Fourth brother, you may have a good look! The tenth princess interjected, since they are all sisters, they want to marry the fourth brother, and it is nothing to help them, and in the end it depends on the decision of the fourth brother.

"Little Ten, how do you know? I forgot that they used to be close to you, and you know it's normal. The emperor looked at the ten princesses.

The tenth princess pouted, "No, I went to Shu Ruo's painting that day, and I bumped into them to paint a portrait, so I found out." ”

How can you mention Shu Ruo at this time, so that the father doesn't know that you are walking out of the palace. On the other side, he was anxious and gave the tenth princess a look, but the tenth princess just didn't arrive.

"Shu Ruo? Why didn't I know that there was a painter named Shu Ruo in the palace? The emperor pretended to be serious.

……

Exposed......

"Father, you are the best, today is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, you can let go of your sons! Isn't it good? Erchen has been very well-behaved lately. "Anyway, the tenth princess decided to be coquettish first.

Hahaha......

The emperor laughed, "Okay, don't pretend, your mother and concubine have told me, they are all praising you, saying that since you worshiped the Shu painter outside the palace, your temperament has been restrained, and your painting skills have increased greatly." ”

Hehehe!! It turned out that my father knew about it......

"Father, Brother Shu's painting skills, sons and ministers are willing to bow down. As far as I know, most of the portraits sent to the Fourth Brother Palace's Mansion by Yanjing City are the works of Brother Shu. "Leng Yan is evil-hearted, and wants to turn the topic back to Leng Hanna.

"Oh? There are also people who can make Xiao Jiu bow down to you in painting. "This emperor was unexpected.

"Brother Shu's portrait painting is vivid, like a real person, and can capture the unique temperament of each girl, so many women who want to marry the fourth brother go to find Brother Shu's portrait."

Leng Han glanced at Leng Yan deeply, "As Xiao Jiu said." Xiao Jiu, Xiao Shi also drew no less. ”

"Little four, this emperor list has been posted for more than a month, so I don't want to move? Or do you just plan to drag it out without asking you? ”

After speaking, he pulled the queen's hand.

The queen understood, "Han'er, you have to hurry, the queen mother is still counting on this time next year, there will be a little Han'er to tease?" ”

"Father, mother, please rest assured, the sons will definitely choose a princess that the sons and daughters like."

"Okay, then the queen mother will be relieved."

"Little four, don't fool your queen mother, let your queen mother wait too long."

The whole family banquet, as if it was an appointment, the topic was bypassed, and it was always possible to go back to the matter of the four princes choosing concubines. The concubines can always seize the opportunity to recommend their sisters, cousins, nieces or something. Leng Han found an excuse to go out of the palace and did not accompany everyone to continue admiring the moon.

Shu Ruo had a lively meal with everyone in Jingyixuan, and then went back by himself. Xi'er still stays in Jingyixuan to admire the moon, no matter how she says it, she is still a child and likes to be lively. Passing by Juxianglou, Shu asked for a jar of wine and a few side dishes.

In the small courtyard of Xishu Hutong, under the osmanthus tree, Shu Ruo drank a little wine alone. "Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking about ......your relatives every festival," Shu Ruo, who began to faint after drinking two glasses, muttered.

When the cold came, when he heard this, did he miss his family? Leng Han, who came out of the palace, originally planned to go back to the house directly, but when he was about to arrive, he asked the coachman to turn around and come to the courtyard of Xishu Hutong.

"Homesick?"

"Hmmm! Think. Glancing up, "You're coming?" Come and drink with me. ”

Is this too much to drink? So well-behaved. Leng Han sat down and poured himself a glass. "Jingyixuan's business is fine, and you need someone to help take care of it. If you're homesick, this king can help you arrange it, and you can rest assured that you can go back and take a look. ”

Shu Ruo drank another drink, "Can't go back?" ”

"What's wrong, you were kicked out by your family?"

"I can't find my way home......" said the tears came out again.

The last time she was drunk in Juxianglou, she seemed to say that she couldn't find her way home, and she kept saying that she couldn't go back. "Have you forgotten your way home? You name a place, as long as it is in Datang, this king can help you find your way home. ”

"Guangzhou."

Guangzhou? Where is this? Leng Han went through the place names of Datang in his mind, and found that there was no place, and I really didn't know where it was. Could it be that it is another country, she is not from the Tang Dynasty? At this time, Shu Ruo drank a few more glasses and was already completely drunk.

Leng Han was about to ask Shu Ruo where Guangzhou was, when two hands suddenly stretched out in front of him and held his face.

"Little brother, you are so handsome, people can't help but think about ......" Shu Ruo held a cold face, and his head approached Leng Han little by little.

Leng Han instantly felt that his heart was beating faster, and his heart was popping, and he froze all of a sudden, and he forgot to push Shu Ruo away. Looking at the misty eyes in front of him, Shu Ruo, whose face was like a peach blossom, faintly looked forward to something, but didn't know what to expect.

When the wine came up, Shu Ruo's dizziness became even worse, forgetting what she was planning to do, she shook her head, still dizzy, leaned her forehead on the cold forehead, and waited for the dizziness to pass.

Leng Han froze, what did she just want to do? This little girl is taking advantage of me. Deliberately.

"I'm sorry, I'm so dizzy, lend me a lean, thank you!" Shu Ruo sat back on the chair in a daze and fell asleep after a while.

Leng Han was stunned for a while, this is to use up and shake off.

This little confused will have to look at her in the future, can't let her drink outside, and it is estimated that she will count the money for her if she is sold. Look around, it's been a while and I haven't seen Xi'er, I shouldn't have come back yet. Leng Han shook her head helplessly and sent Shu Ruo back to her room.

Looking at Shu Ruo lying on the bed, Leng Han fell into deep thought. Shu Ruo, who are you? What is the purpose of approaching me? Why can't you find your way home? Guangzhou? Then I'll look it up. With a bunch of questions, Leng Han left the small courtyard of Xishu Hutong.

The next day, when she woke up, Shu Ruo vaguely remembered that someone seemed to be drinking with her yesterday, and that person seemed to be cold, and it didn't seem to be. Yes, she's broken again. Her constitution will be drunk when she drinks, and she will be broken if she has many of them. So I was dreaming last night? Did the cold come or not?

"Xi'er, did the fourth prince come last night?"

"No, when I came back last night, you were already asleep, brother. I didn't see the four princes. ”

"Didn't you help me into the house and lie down last night?" Strange, did I still have consciousness when I went back to the house by myself. How do I feel that someone helped me in.

"No, when I was admiring the moon last night, Brother Xuan told a story to everyone, and I came back very late. Is something happening? ”

"It's fine." Maybe I'm thinking too much. Don't be greedy in the future. This amount of alcohol is really bad.

Poor Leng Han, he didn't know that Shu Ruo had forgotten what he had been here last night, and it was in vain that he worked so hard to take care of her drunk.
