I don't know if it's the reason for walking the gravel road, or the reason for untying a dead knot in my heart, Zhu Gaochi slept well.

"Your Royal Highness, the crown princess said, today you are still yesterday, and you can only wear shoes after walking around......"

"Just go, is it possible that you are lonely and even scared to walk? Long-winded! ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't complain about the pain in his feet, he was in a happy mood, and was carried to the garden by two inner servants to walk on the gravel path. After walking a few steps, the soles of his feet became hot, and it didn't hurt as much as yesterday, and he even felt that he would be able to ride happily in the near future.

"Fucheng, I explained what you did yesterday, why didn't I see you back and forth? You're getting more and more frizzy now, isn't it too good for you to be lonely? ”

"Your Highness, how dare Weichen? I don't want you to see it for yourself. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”

"Hey! Are you still reasonable? ...... Why didn't you hear her play the piano today? ”

Fu Cheng was so funny in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, he had to say: "Yo, Your Highness, you can't answer what Weichen said, or else, the minister will call the chamberlain in Li Xuan's palace to ask?" ”

"No, no, I'll walk half a circle in a while, and I'll go and take a look. You see, is Lone walking much faster today? ”

"Yes, Your Highness, you are not so heavy today......"

Before Fu Xi finished speaking, Fu Cheng and Zhu Gaochi both turned their heads and glared at him, he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again: it's so difficult to tell the truth......

After a few more steps, the cheerful song from yesterday began to sound again. Unlike yesterday, the kneading of the strings is particularly smooth, making the whole piece sound lively and playful.

Zhu Gaochi's face flashed a smile that only a lover had on a date: It sounded like she was really happy today.

The three of them came to the outside of Li Xuanzhi's courtyard again, as soon as Fucheng pushed the door, there were little girls and little waiters running over to kneel to greet them, Zhu Gaochi waved his hand to let them all be exempted, and he was not allowed to report inside, and he came out of the window again to the sound of the piano.

Zhu Gaochi saw that not only was the yard clean today, but the flowers in the flower beds were also replanted, and even the window forks were well supported.

It seems that she really didn't have the strength to hold the window pole yesterday, could it be that her wrist is not good?

The woman in the window was still wearing a North Korean dress, still in the same posture of playing the piano yesterday, but with a red hairband tied on her braid, which looked more gentle and delicate.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt that the North Korean girl's skirt was also very good-looking, especially the simple braid......

It's a pity that she played the piano attentively, and never noticed that there was someone outside, Zhu Gaochi was slightly disappointed, and was about to quit quietly, he just took a step back, and stepped on Fucheng's feet, Fucheng hurriedly exaggerated and shouted: "Oops! ”

Zhu Gaochi was wondering: Is it so painful? I didn't even step on it.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the piano stop abruptly.

The prince understood: Fucheng, you little clever, add chicken legs to dinner!

"Your Highness? How did you get here...... See Your Highness for concubines. Li Xuan, who came out to see what was going on, saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already walked to the door and hurriedly saluted him.

"Ahem...... Excuse me, this blessing, walk without looking at the road, I just want to go in......"

"The concubine thanked His Royal Highness for exonerating the crime and returned the concubine...... Wear a North Korean dress...... But I didn't know if His Highness would come...... Don't you hate me the most? What's ......" Li Xuanzhi raised his head and asked with a hint of hesitation.

"You are my concubine, and it has been almost twenty years since you entered the East Palace, what do you hate or not...... Why, you didn't invite me in to sit down? Zhu Gaochi was suddenly a little afraid that she would refuse, after all, he had never entered her palace.

"Your Highness, come in, it's just incense inside, I don't know if you can smell it."

"Since it's incense, does it still stink?"

Hearing this, Li Xuanzhi couldn't help but smile slightly. She was born beautiful, and although she was in her thirties, she still smiled like a shy little girl.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were glued to this smile.

Entering the outer hall, he pointed to the piano on the soft collapse and asked, "What kind of harp is this?" I've never seen it. ”

Fucheng, who followed behind, was completely shocked: His Royal Highness has used a few "I" to talk to the maid Niangniang? He only uses "I" when talking to the crown princess. It seems that Your Highness is about to rejuvenate the second spring......

"This is called Gayageum, which was made by Gayageum in imitation of the Zheng of the Han Dynasty, and then slowly spread to North Korea, and it was transformed into this way. Because you don't like North Korea, you've been hiding in the closet all these years, and so are these dresses, it's been many years......"

"If it's old, find someone to come, and make it new as it is, and the East Palace doesn't lack your silver."

Looking at Li Xuanshi's surprised and happy eyes, Zhu Gaochi clearly felt a kind of pride in being admired by a woman.

He looked at the skirt carefully again and praised: "The skirt of the North Korean girl is better than Daming's, and the skirt is puffy." ”

Li Xuanzhi smiled again.

Only then did Zhu Gaochi realize that this woman, who was always trembling in front of him in the past day, turned out to be so smiling.

She explained with a smile: "North Korean girls are born to be good at singing and dancing, and North Korean dances often make one movement, which is to turn in circles. When the concubine was young, she could turn dozens of times in a row without stopping. When you turn in a circle, the skirt will be in a drum shape, which looks good. ”

"Then you turn it to me, just turn it around twice, you are not a child now."

"Now?" Li Xuanzhi asked hesitantly, she looked around, pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll dance a "Bellflower Ballad" for His Highness, right?" I also ask Fucheng and Fuxi to move the chair away for me. ”

Zhu Gaochi sat on the soft couch and looked at Li Xuanzhi's gestures so beautiful.

"Then the concubine began? If there is no music, the concubines will sing and dance at the same time. After speaking, Li Xuanzhi opened his arms and put on a posture of "crane flying".

North Korea worships cranes, and their dances often imitate the shape of cranes, which are soft and rigid, and extremely chic. At this time, Li Xuanshi, who sang the ballad of bellflower and acted softly and capably, was confident and generous, which was fascinating.

"Lan'er ......"

Li Xuanzhi was turning in a circle, and suddenly heard this call she had dreamed of, and felt that her heart was soft, she turned to the prince and made a blessing, looking at this man she had been waiting for for almost twenty years.

"Lan'er, don't blame me, I ......" Zhu Gaochi had mixed feelings and stretched out his hand towards Li Lan.

It was the second time he reached out to her. The first time, it was in the side hall, he drank a lot of wine, she went over to say goodbye, he stretched out his hand to her drunken eyes, and said, "Come here." ”

That day, she had a Ming name, Li Lan.

That day, he planted a hope for her, called buckwheat.

"I never complained to you, because I am your Li Lan."

Li Minzhen, when Li Xianzhen's soul returned to her hometown, her soul had already followed her sister back to her mother country thousands of miles away.

The one who stayed was Li Lan.

In the prince's east palace, it soon spread all over the place, Li Xuanzhi was promoted, in order to distinguish the original Li Cairen, he used the name given by the prince and called: Lan Cairen.

In the East Palace, one and only one.
