Chapter 5: A Chance Reunion
This person Liu Yan still recognizes.
But...... The name is rolling around on the lips, but I can't remember it.
Speaking of which, she just can't remember people's names. She will remember the face of the person she has seen once, but she can't remember the name reported to her three or five times, sometimes the face is very familiar, and the name is often crowned and worn, and she can't tell who is who.
This is the person I met last time I went out of the palace with my big sister. I met in the peony workshop, so who came?
The two looked at each other like this, and the unknown brother holding the schoolbag came over, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, but after looking closely, he felt as if he was not smiling, and Si Swenwen waved his hand and greeted: "Hello fourth princess." ”
"-Well, you're out of school?"
Liu Yan couldn't call his name, so he had to greet him so vaguely. Of course, she can directly ask what his name is, but I don't know why, she is a little embarrassed, she obviously asked last time, and asked again...... It seemed that she was too blind to no one.
"Yes, tomorrow is a holiday, followed by a festival, so you can rest for three days." He is different from others, even if he didn't know that she was a princess last time, he knows it this time, but he is neither afraid of a femme fatale, nor does he laugh and please, this is what the little brother said? That's right, it's called neither humble nor arrogant.
He looked like he wasn't afraid of the heat at all. In fact, if you look closely, there is sweat on your face, but this person's voice, smile, and demeanor do not have half of the fireworks, which makes people calm down unconsciously, and they feel that it is not so hot.
Speaking of the last time I met him, it was the time when I went out of the palace with Princess Fuyu to see the princess's mansion that was being renovated, Tian Lin invited them to the peony workshop for lunch.
Alas, as soon as he said that this matter was related to Tian Lin again, he was even more upset.
"How did the princess get here? Is it a search for someone? ”
Liu Yan kicked the blade of grass on the side of the road sullenly: "Well, but they all ran away." ”
"I don't know what the princess has to say, maybe I can help?"
Liu Yan raised his head quickly, but when he glanced at him, he drooped his head again: "You can't do it." You can't take it out of the palace. ”
This is really not good for ordinary people. Except for her sister, that is, her brother and aunt, they could do it, but they obviously ignored her.
"What is the princess going to do when she leaves the palace? Or are you looking for someone? ”
Other things can be entrusted to someone, or to deliver a letter, or to pass on a message, but the queen mother told her to keep it a secret and not to tell others.
Liu Yan stopped when he walked to the Chunhe Gate: "I'm fine, you can leave quickly, if it's too late, I'm afraid I'll be interrogated if I leave the palace." ”
Longan and Ginkgo were waiting for her in the Chunhe Gate, looking at the young man next to the princess from a distance, and they didn't dare to come over rashly, one was in a hurry.
Although in the palace, I am not afraid that the other party is an unknown person, but the princess is no longer a child, so she has to avoid it with a foreign man, right?
Finally watched the two people separate, the man went south along the palace road, Liu Yan came over this way, and Gui Yuan and Ginkgo hurriedly caught up.
Ginkgo asked cautiously, "Princess, who was that person just now?" ”
Liu Yan turned his head to take a look, and on the long palace road under the scorching sun, the young man in the green shirt had already walked away. The green shadow reminded her of the past, and the last time she was in the peony garden was like blowing away the thick fog, she blurted out: "His name is Li Zheng." ”
yes, I remember.
His name is Li Zheng.
That time in Peony Fang, she got lost, and it was Li Zheng who sent her back.
At that time, Tian Lin was a quasi-horse, and most of the princess's mansion was repaired, and the weather was as hot as it is now.
The place of Peony Fang is very large, not like an ordinary restaurant restaurant, after passing through the front yard, it is a very deep garden, the bamboo forest on both sides of the stone path is sassy, and then there is a small bridge flowing water, and the grass and trees are abundant.
"What a great place......
A cat suddenly sprang out of the grass in front of him and ran briskly towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
As soon as Liu Yan saw the cat, he immediately forgot about eating, and chased after him with his skirt. She is small and her movements are extremely flexible, but the tanuki in front of her is more clever, and when she squeezes through the cracks in the bamboo bushes, it seems to have been smeared with oil from beginning to end, and by the time Liu Yan chased through a low fence, the cat was completely gone.
The cat didn't chase it, and he had to drill in the bamboo forest when he went back the same way, Liu Yan was almost stuck by the bamboo root just now, and he didn't dare to go back at this time.
She didn't know the way back to get around.
It may be timid, Liu Yan has never known a word cowardice since he was a child. When she was in the countryside, she was the heart and soul of her grandmother and uncle's family, and after entering Beijing, she was the princess of the queen's concubine, and she was never afraid of her.
What are you afraid of if you don't know the way? In my uncle's words, what is the use of opening the mouth under the nose? In addition to gasping and eating, ask for directions and use people to teach?
Just ask.
Liu Yan walked two steps quickly and caught up with the two teenagers passing in front: "Excuse me, I want to go to ......"
Liu Yan paused.
What is the name of the place to eat that eldest brother-in-law just said?
I just listened to it by the way, and now I can't remember anything.
The two people who were stopped by her were not impatient, and waited for her to finish her words in a good manner.
"I, I forgot."
The two teenagers in front of them were older and taller, wearing a white silk gown, covered with a blue silk gown, and the one in the back was similar to him, that is, the color of the burqa was changed to light smoke green, and he should be about the same age as the little brother in Liu Yan's family, but in terms of appearance, there are more than three streets out of the little brother.
Hearing Liu Yan's brainless words, the young man in front of him didn't show displeasure: "Are you lost?" ”
Liu Yan hesitated and nodded.
"Who are you coming with?"
"With my sister."
The young man in the back said, "Don't worry, just go in with us and ask." By the way, what do you call a girl? ”
Liu Yan asked him rhetorically: "Then what is your name?" ”
The man was stunned by her question. There are no people he usually knows who are so direct and unreasonable, but this person is not very old, and his temper is not bad, and he said with a smile: "My surname is Li, and my single name is a Zheng character." This is my cousin Li Kun. ”
"My name is Liu Yan."
Li Kun stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please", with wide sleeves and a warm smile, Liu Yan looked at the appearance of these two walking robes, and thought that these two must be the kind of "family dogs" that the little brother said.
Although I listened to the little brother's complaints, I ate a lot of secret losses from others, but Liu Yan felt very straightforwardly that people are good-looking, and every move can be directly entered into the painting, and this is what the family style says, right?
Of course, just look at it, she doesn't want to compare other people's molds to use this rule from beginning to end.
is not familiar with people, she honestly follows behind. Someone came in front of the corridor when he turned around, and before he could see his face, he heard someone say angrily: "It's too bullying!" It can't just be left at that. ”
"Don't be angry, it's just a matter of a meal, don't give people a handle for nothing."
"What a meal......
As soon as the two groups of people met, they all stopped.
The two brothers of the Li family waved their hands and greeted: "He Shizi, Brother Yang." ”
The faces of the few people who came over there were not good-looking, and they looked angry. Liu Yan was short, looking at the first person frowning, his face was a little fierce, although he was polite and noisy at this time, his face was full of anger.
Li Kun asked with concern: "He Shizi, what's wrong?" ”
He Shizi's mouth was closed tightly, and he didn't mean to speak, and the person next to him explained: "Brother He originally came to invite us today and set the Chunfeng Pavilion, but the people in the Peony Workshop remembered the mistake and gave the Chunfeng Pavilion to others. ”
Spring Breeze Pavilion?
It sounds familiar.
Li Kun smiled: "So that's the case, it's not a big deal." Li Fengting's place is not big, there are many people who can't sit down, we haven't seen each other for many days, it's better to meet by chance, let's go to the West Garden together, eat wine while appreciating lotus, don't get drunk and don't return. ”
He Shizi was not very happy, and the people around him even persuaded him to give him enough face, which was considered to be giving him the stairs, and said: "I will definitely not follow the change of others, and today I will give the kid surnamed Tian a face." ”
Surname Tian ...... Brat?
Liu Yan stopped.
Tian Lin said that the place to eat seems to be called Chunfeng Pavilion?
As soon as she stopped, Li Zheng, who was walking in front of her, noticed it and stopped as well.
"How?"
Liu Yan tugged on his sleeve, motioned for Li Zheng to lower his head, stood on tiptoe and whispered, "Do you know how to go to the Spring Breeze Pavilion?" ”
Li Zheng turned his head to look at He Shizi and the others who were walking away, and also lowered his voice: "You want to go to the Spring Breeze Pavilion?" ”
Liu Yan nodded.
I heard someone mention that Chunfeng Pavilion's tone is so bad just now, if she shouts loudly at this time, isn't it a lack of heart?
Li Zheng showed a clear expression: "Then I'll send you over." ”
The bluestone on the arch bridge was so hot that the thin soles of the shoes were not insulated at all, and the soles of the feet were hot as stepping on fire. Liu Yan was so sunburned that he couldn't open his eyes, and pulled a sleeve to block his face.
After walking a few steps, she didn't feel sunburned, Li Zheng was half a step ahead of her, and he was taller than her, just blocking the sun for her, and Liu Yan walked in his shadow. She didn't walk fast, but fortunately, Li Zheng's steps were not big, and she could keep up. After crossing the bridge and passing through a flower garden, Li Zheng stopped: "There is the Spring Breeze Pavilion ahead." ”
Liu Yan thanked him, walked up the steps, took two steps and stopped, and turned his head. Li Zheng was still standing in place, and when he saw her turn around, he waved his hand to her with a smile: "Go quickly." ”
Liu Yan has never dealt with outsiders since he entered Beijing, except for his relatives and some palace attendants, Li Zheng is very good-looking, especially good-looking when he smiles, and he looks like a person on the side of the bridge.
A year has passed since the incident, and Liu Yan usually can't remember it at all, but only then did he realize that he remembered it clearly. This Li Zheng used to be studying in Xifengtang, so he had been here before, why hadn't he met him before?
However, there are already a lot of people in Xifengtang, and she may not have paid attention to the comings and goings before.
Don't mention Li Zheng, it seems that today's departure from the palace will not be done, Liu Yan is like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he really can't lift his spirits. Longan and Ginkgo pondered together, how could they make the master happy?
What's more, don't worry about leaving the palace anymore.
