Li Chongzhao quietly raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. Then his face turned cold, and he walked towards the lotus pond alone: "Isn't it to let this king see and understand?" What kind of tricks are you preparing? ”

Xiao Li's mind was coarse, and she didn't feel his subtle emotional changes.

She walked briskly up to him, and the two of them walked together to the foundation of the gazebo. Xiao Li turned her head to look at him: "Keep your eyes open and see."

With that, she walked onto the horseshoe waterway, and with each step she stooped down and took something out of her sleeve, and then a faint light appeared on the waterway, illuminating the surroundings clearly.

Xiao Li walked step by step, and the light followed her all the way, and in a trance, this road was built through the moon, and it stretched straight to the Toad Palace.

The woman who stooped and strode was like a spirit born from a lotus flower, as bright as the moonlight. Li Chongzhao was a little stupid.

Xiao Li looked into the distance, the waterway was very long, and she couldn't finish the beads in one time, but at this time, she showed Li Chongzhao the results, and she could be regarded as regaining her confidence.

This waterway was what she saw at the wedding banquet of Dongying Haiji. However, the road was built of glass, and the material used was not the glowing pearl of the sea on her body, but the treasures in the Heavenly Palace.

It's a long way off, but it's the same.

Xiao Li returned along the road and walked in front of Li Chongzhao, looking a little proud: "How?"

Li Chongzhao looked at her for a long time, and when he walked in front of him at this moment, his face was a little hot: "It's beautiful."

Xiao Li agreed, and explained proudly: "I instructed them to leave a hole in it when they built the waterway, and then put the night pearls produced in my hometown in it. In this way, even in the dark of night, you can see the road, and it is not as abrupt as a candlelight, which spoils the artistic conception. After that, she grabbed the bitten bag on her body, "But there are indeed too many mosquitoes, and when the time comes, you can build some low railings on the side of the road, hollow out the inner pulp, and fill them with mosquito repellent spices." But the flavor of the spices should not be too rushed, so as not to overshadow the lotus fragrance......"

Xiao Li was still talking, but was suddenly interrupted by Li Chongzhao, and his tone was very light: "Why do you have to put so much effort into it?"

Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and said, "Aren't you going to celebrate your mother's birthday?" You are a dutiful son, you will naturally be in a good mood after the birthday banquet is held, and it will be neat and tidy when the time comes. ”

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but he felt angry when he heard it. But there was no reason for it to happen.

Li Chongzhao looked at her: "I hope so."

Pear: "......"

She seemed to feel the "what can you do if I just don't tell the truth" aura emanating from someone.

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.
