Chapter 10: Restlessness

He didn't want to live in the palace, first, to avoid rules, and second, he didn't want the queen to always stuff him with all kinds of women. In his heart, women always have a lot of thoughts, and they are very troublesome. So in order to avoid trouble, he simply replaced all the maids around him, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the world, he would end up with a broken sleeve. If these rumors are known to the queen, she doesn't know how to reprimand him. Li Chongzhao was very annoyed and impatient, but looking at the woman in front of him, he felt that he was not so annoying.

He always has to pretend to be old, and even laughing is not sincere, but in front of this woman who is so bold that she dares to say anything, he feels that those troubles have no weight.

He didn't understand why he was thinking that, and until the man was gone, he stood still, not knowing what he was thinking.

I just feel that my heart is a little messy.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Maybe I didn't sleep well and messed up my heart and lungs, so I'm going to the palace tomorrow to ask for a safe pulse." When Li Chongzhao dragged his tired body back to the mansion, before he had time to write the emperor's policy, he heard a commotion in the mansion.

His brain hurt when he listened, and as soon as Fang sat down, he said loudly: "Shen Mu!"

A gray-clothed guard appeared silently, and said with low eyebrows: "Lord Wang."

Li Chongzhao glanced at him lazily and rubbed his temples: "What's the matter?" Why is there always a restless dog in the house lately? ”

Shen Mu followed his gaze and lowered his eyebrows again: "It's that girl who has come up with a novel way to prepare a birthday gift for the palace."

Li Chongzhao immediately became interested, and hastily put on the boots he kicked off: "Let's go, go and see."

There was a large crowd of people in the garden, all exclaiming, laughing and clapping.

Li Chongzhao glanced at it and seemed to be surrounding the lotus pond. He had a strange feeling in his heart, what tricks can be tossed out of a lotus pond?

When he walked in, the little servants got out of the way, and the whole picture of the lotus pond changed in his eyes.

Originally, it was an infinite lotus pond, and a small pavilion was built for viewing. Now the pavilion has been demolished, leaving only a foundation. However, along the foundation, there are one horseshoe-shaped foundation after another, connecting the entire lotus pond. In this way, people can easily pick lotus flowers when they walk on it, and frogs chirp and dew at their feet. It can be described as elegant.

Li Chongzhao's smile was fixed on the corner of his mouth, and at a glance, he found a figure in the crowd, and walked to her in a few steps: "Although the mind is ingenious, there are still gaps."

Xiao Li heard the sound and saw that Li Chongzhao was wearing a serious court dress today, with jade around his waist, and his long hair stood up with a jade crown, which was surprisingly pleasing to the eye. But what she said made her unconvinced: "Dare to ask the prince, where is the gap?"

Li Chongzhao looked at the horseshoe waterways: "Walking through the lotus pond is a wonderful thing, but if you stumble and fall in, what should you do?" In addition, there is also a dinner party, which can be seen during the day, but at night, even if the high lights are hung, there are inconveniences. ”

Xiao Li smiled slyly: "You are too underestimated, in the evening, if you come here again, I will let you open your eyes."

Li Chongzhao looked down at her, his eyes were full of brightness, which shook his heart, so he deliberately frowned, and said coldly: "You dare to talk to this king like this,......"

"I don't want to live." Xiao Li helped him answer the next sentence, she looked at Li Chongzhao, who suddenly changed her tone, and felt very puzzled, "What a strange person." ”

After that, I saw a small guy struggling to carry the flower plant, didn't pay attention to Li Chongzhao anymore, and helped people move things with a smile.

Li Chongzhao frowned, and didn't seem to react yet. suddenly recalled her last sentence, and was also a little inexplicably angry, and coldly dropped a sentence: "I don't know what to say."

Shen Mu followed behind Li Chongzhao, and the afterglow flashed on Xiao Li's body.

Li Chongzhao, who returned to the front of the case, felt that he was bored with everything he did. It's like something is stuck in my heart, and I can't go up or down. He had never had such an experience.

remembered that when he arrived at the palace this morning, the queen mentioned his marriage again.

The queen's attitude was very tough: "Chongzhao, in the past, you were stubborn, and this palace couldn't control you, but now the situation, you don't know it." The momentum of the mother family in this palace is weakening, and only by marrying the Meng family can you have enough strength to fight for a point in front of the emperor. Miss Meng and your childhood sweetheart, have been in love since childhood, this family affair is beneficial to you and has no disadvantages. ”

Li Chongzhao couldn't help but think of the appearance of Miss Meng's family, because the two were getting older, and the two were no longer seeing each other. But childhood anecdotes are really vivid. For him, it doesn't matter who he marries a woman, his love has long been destined to be an accessory in the struggle for imperial power.

Or perhaps, it is Miss Meng's family, which is not so bad for him. Although he didn't love her, at least he wasn't a stranger. Moreover, the queen is also laborious in the palace, and as a son of man, she should be filial. He has no reason to ask for too much.

The summer heat was declining, and he only felt a faint sleepiness.

Lay down on the couch and fell asleep in a few moments. The long-term fatigue and the hard work of preparing the birthday banquet made him infinitely nostalgic in his dreams.

When Li Chongzhao woke up, his mind was vague, and he opened his mouth to call: "Shenmu, what time is it?" Fang knew that his throat was hoarse.

Shen Mu always kept his head down: "Go back to the prince, it's time."

Li Chongzhao's sleepiness suddenly faded away, he began to put on his clothes in a panic, hurriedly walked outside the house, and finally instructed: "Don't come with me."

Shen Mu lowered his eyes: "Yes, Lord Wang."

The night was dark, and there was no one in the empty palace, only a few guards on the night watch. Li Chongzhao suddenly remembered that this bold woman seemed to meet her for the first time on such a night.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile unconsciously. He looked around, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see. It is inevitable that there is a faint disappointment in my heart. But after thinking about it, it was because she went to bed too late, how could she blame her for not staying late at night?

He secretly blamed himself for sleeping too deeply.

However, at this moment, he went back to the house to sleep but had no thoughts, and he somehow turned to the lotus pond, the moonlight was hazy, and his heart was quiet.

A little starlight, a bright moon, reflecting the blue waves. The occasional croaking of frogs, resting summer cicadas, or other miscellaneous knick-knacks bring fun to the quiet evening.

At this time, if there is a song, it is a wonderful thing.

Just as Li Chongzhao was immersed in the elegance, he found that the person he was looking for was half-lying in the grass at this time, and he didn't notice it because of the thick night.

Three steps and two steps, he walked over to Pear. She slept very lightly, and as soon as he came over, she opened her eyes dimly and gave a hache without any rules. When he looked up, he said, "You're here."

Li Chongzhao asked for some reason: "Have you been waiting for me here?"

Xiaoli subconsciously replied: "Yes, what's wrong."

Li Chongzhao did not answer, and the air was unusually quiet. Xiao Li stood up with strength and looked at the hanging moon: "You have slept long enough this night, if it weren't for the fear that you would suddenly remember this incident and run out in the middle of the night, when the time comes, I will see that I am not there and pick my thorn by the head, I will not wait for you here, there are many mosquitoes eating people."

Li Chongzhao didn't look at her: "I didn't know you would wait so long."

Xiaoli laughed: "It's not because you have the person I want in your hands, I don't want to anger you."
