Chapter 2 Borrow a curfew waist card
A cloud of dark clouds slowly obscured half of the moon, and the thick weeping willows and craggy rockeries in the back garden of the princess's mansion were crouching in the darkness like giant beasts, as if waiting for the nocturnal prey.
Such a moon, dark and windy night is most suitable for the gentleman on the beam.
Konoha changed into a narrow-sleeved dress that was easy to move and slipped out of her west courtyard, and according to the route she had stepped on during the day, she easily touched a low courtyard wall, jumped up and fell gently, and smoothly climbed into the east courtyard, hiding in an unknown bush.
It was a bold decision to take advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak in to meet her future husband.
It's just that with her identity, if she goes out blatantly during the day, no matter what the reason is, she will not have her mother's eyeliner around her, in case people know that she went to King Shu's mansion, and she doesn't know how to chew her tongue!
The bells and drums at the end of the hour rang from the city tower, and the city gates, fang gates, and palace gates were closed one after another, and the curfew began.
During the curfew, it is not allowed to enter and exit the door - but it is not uncommon for people like Shengping Princess Mansion to open a back door on the wall of the house to facilitate entry and exit at night, but it must be a high-ranking household, and there is a curfew waist card for entering and exiting.
To visit King Shu's mansion at night, she first had to "borrow" a curfew waist card.
There are three curfew waist cards on the Shengping Princess's house, one is naturally in the hands of the princess herself, and the other is in the hands of the housekeeper's lady, in case you can send people at any time, and you need to report for use.
This third piece, in Guo Jun's hands, is also what she thinks is the most likely to be "borrowed".
Guo Yan is the third brother of Konoha, relying on the favor of Princess Shengping and the concubine, he is a lawless demon king in this princess's mansion, feasting and playing all day long, mingling in the fireworks and willow alleys of Pingkangfang, and proficient in some low-level game juggling. In the entire Chang'an City, he is also a well-ranked gentleman.
There was no light in Guo Yan's bedroom, so Konoha took off his embroidered shoes and held them in his hand, tiptoeing through the corridor and slipping under the window.
Although he knew that Guo Yan did not have a maid, Konoha still cautiously watched at the door.
She must be extra careful, if someone finds out, to put it nicely, she is a thief and steals into her brother's house, if it is a little ugly, she is a girl's house, and she touches her brother's bedroom at night, and her name will be completely ruined!
Sure that there was no maid serving in the house, Konoha gently pushed open the door and carefully touched the bed-
The bed is empty?!
Konoha's heart pounded, his back seemed to be pricked by many tiny needles, and the surroundings were so quiet that people were panicking.
She had already heard the news, Guo Yan drank too much at the birthday banquet, and closed the courtyard door early to rest, this time it should be sleepy. How could there be no one in the house?
It's already here, even if something happens, you can't give up all your efforts. Konoha took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and groped at the head of the bed by the faint light, and sure enough, there was a wooden box, and when it was opened, there was a bronze waist card that flashed with a thick metallic light!
She quickly tucked the waist tag into her sleeve and put the wooden box back in its place. He was about to retreat, but he heard rustling footsteps getting closer and closer, and seemed to stop at the door of the bedroom.
When she came in, she didn't close the door so as not to make a sound. Konoha's heart hung again, and she subconsciously felt a hint of danger, and she quickly turned around and hid herself in the shadows behind the door.
Konoha saw him through the crack in the door and looked suspiciously into the bedroom. With a dim wind lamp in his hand, he vaguely saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, although he didn't look carefully, he could see that his facial features were born perfectly, and Konoha had never seen such a handsome young man.
Suddenly, Guo Yan's lazy voice sounded on the porch: "How can the door in my room be opened?" ”
Konoha Xin raised his throat, but he heard the young man laugh and said, "I think it's the wind?" ”
Guo Yan didn't come over, as if leaning on the pillar, still lazy, and said to the young man: "Although you and I know each other, it's better not to let others know when you come to me tonight." ”
The boy said, "That's nature. Everyone outside says that you Guo Sanlang is a gentleman who only knows how to fight cocks every day, but I know the talent in your chest. But do you really refuse to enter my shogunate? ”
In the entire Chang'an City, the shogunate was set up only by the palaces and the Jingzhao Mansion, and a group of talented people were gathered to give advice. Guo Yan is the son of the princess's mansion, and his status is precious, so he actually asked Guo Fei to enter the shogunate.
Is this person the son and grandson of the emperor?
What he meant was that Guo Yan, a prodigal, was pretending. Unexpectedly, she just wanted to go to Guo Yan to "borrow" a waist card, but she seemed to have bumped into some big secret. Konoha was shocked, and hurriedly put his ear to the door panel and listened carefully.
Guo Yan seemed to smile, "You also know that I am a gentleman and not used to being restrained." But in the future, we will also be relatives, so why do we have to be like this! ”
Relatives?
If it is a prince, her mother is Princess Shengping, so naturally all the princes are Guo Yan's cousins, and they are relatives of the Guo family. But the words didn't say so, the royal brothers are all fighting like black-eyed chickens, what kind of relatives are cousins?
Or maybe he's talking about ...... Relatives in the future?
Could it be that he is the legendary first son of Zhenyuan and the king of Guangling County?
Konoha still wanted to hear it clearly, but Li Chun, the king of Guangling County, chuckled, and changed the topic: "The wine just spilled on the sleeve, San Lang borrowed a dress from me." ”
Guo Yan said: "There are two new ones on the shelf at the door, you can replace them!" "It seems to be drifting away.
Li Chun really went to get his clothes, Konoha was embarrassed, he really planned to change his clothes in front of her?
I was at a loss, but I heard a cold voice behind me: "The one behind the door, do you really want to help my son change clothes?" ”
It turned out that he had already discovered her, and it seemed that the so-called change of clothes was just a pretext. Konoha froze, slowly turned around, and bowed to him: "Then does Childe need to change his clothes?" ”
Li Chun looked her up and down a few times with a wind lantern, and saw that it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, her eyebrows and eyes were clean and clear, revealing a kind of innocence and simplicity that matched her age.
For some reason, he felt that this girl seemed a little familiar, thought about it, and said with a smile: "You didn't even thank me, I didn't tell you!" ”
Konoha frowned slightly, and slandered: Do you want him to hide it? It's found out, and it's no one else, I'm afraid it's easier to deal with Guo Yan than to deal with him!
She raised her eyebrows: "It turns out that Childe likes to hear thanks." ”
Li Chun understood what she was referring to for a while, and said with a smile: "The girl is a straightforward person, and there will be a period later." ”
He put on his clothes and went out, and sat in a black oil carriage with his close-fitting servant Liufu, and talked about the little girl just now.
Liufu was a little surprised: "That princess's mansion is really, there is a little maid who touched the young master's house......"
Li Chun leaned into the carriage and said, "Little girl? I think her face is at least seven or eight points similar to that eleven mother! However, stealing things into Guo San's room is so interesting. ”
Liufu exclaimed: "Could it be the one raised in Jiangnan......
"That girl-" Li Chun muttered: "Guo San seems to have the intention of drawing a line with me today, is it possible that it has something to do with that girl?" ”
