[Chapter 31: San Lang angrily reprimands Xiao Lang for trouble] (1)
The three days of the Shangyuan Festival are Li Longji's favorite days every year. At this time, even his father's control was much looser, and he would always go with a few brothers to accompany the children of the official family who were friends during the day, or go to the suburbs to bow down, or go to the West Market, wrestle with Kunlun Nu, flirt with Silla maids, and dance with orchids in wine shops...... Young and romantic, who cares if it's ridiculous or not?
This time there is not much difference from before, but there are a few more people who are together: Wan Qi Guoyi Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli, Shang Yifeng Yuwang Chongye, Zhong Shaojing, director of the Forbidden Garden, and monk Purun, etc.
Since returning to Chang'an, Li Longji has been running around all day long, making friends everywhere, just like when he was in Luzhou, and his ability to mingle with middle- and lower-level officials that he has cultivated in Luzhou has been brought into full play. And his temperament is already bold and sparse, and the two servants of Wang Maozhong, who is organic and spiritual, and Li Yide, who is still martial, assist him, and he naturally wins the respect and love of the soldiers in the army.
After they finished playing polo, they took advantage of the sunset to return to Chang'an City. Normally, at this time, the dusk drum has already sounded, and as soon as you enter the city, you can only see the people hurrying back to the various squares, often before the three hundred dusk drums are half-beaten, and there is no one on the street, but today is different. Many people simply don't go home when they come out of the two cities, and go directly to the street, looking at the lantern wheel that has not yet been decorated, and looking at the right where there are delicacies that are not easy to eat on weekdays, and more people are gangs out of their homes, lining up to go out of the workshop, and then moving to the street little by little.
When Li Longji and others entered the city, they saw this congested scene.
It's not even night, and once it's dark, I don't know what the excitement will be. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they all shook their heads. In such a crowd that they could not continue to ride, they had to let the servants who accompanied them lead their mounts, and they themselves dismounted and walked forward.
The children of the official family naturally had to return home first, and Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli were going to be on duty in shifts tonight, so they hurried through the gaps in various crowds, and Li Longji and the others couldn't help but be amazed when they saw it. Zhong Shaojing was going to rush home, and he would meet his wife and come out again, but the pity was that they returned to the city from the city gate due south, and Zhong Shaojing's mansion was in the forbidden garden in the north of the city, he wanted to go back, and it was estimated that he would not be able to arrive before the third watch. Realizing this, Zhong Shaojing, who has always been decisive and capable, became a little indecisive: "Should I walk from the avenue or from the side road, which one can be faster......
Looking at Zhong Shaojing's expression of wanting to cry without tears, everyone couldn't help but wonder what kind of lady his sister-in-law should be, and let him be obedient like this.
Wang Chongye had already said goodbye and went to play by himself, while Purun was the most easy-going, whether he walked or not, wherever he went.
In this way, only the five sons of Xiangwang and Purun were left obediently in place, until night fell, and the lights were shining in all directions, and then they finally walked in front of the imperial city of Taiji Palace - this is the most beautiful and lively place in the entire Chang'an City.
A ten-foot lantern wheel sits there, like a hill. The top is the peony lamp, the flowers are full and grand, the red brocade turns into petals, and the end is rich and generous. Under the peony lamp, peony, hibiscus, camellia ...... Flowers are scattered, dotted on it, all kinds of colors are in full bloom, colorful and dazzling.
The crowd was also the most crowded here, and Li Longji and the others, who had gathered together, had to be dispersed a little, and when Li Longye was squeezed away, he didn't even feel his feet on the ground, so he directly watched the brothers go away.
It was also here, through the heavy crowd, Li Longji glanced at it and was stunned.
He saw a woman.
A woman he didn't expect.
The woman wore a high bun, her hair was as dense as a cloud, and she only wore a lotus silver hairpin, and there was no other ornament. A fingernail-sized red plum blossom dotted on her forehead, the corners of her eyes on both sides of the eyes have oblique red sideburns, like smoke far away, rouge is lightly heavy, quietly blooming on her cheeks and lips, with snow-white peach blossom pollen, not smelling self-fragrance.
He never thought that she, who had always been known for her beauty, could be so bright and moving.
At this time, she was turning her head sideways, looking at the brilliant light wheel in amazement, probably never seen anything like it. Her surprise was only wide-eyed, and the smile on her lips was still faint, with her inherent composure and self-pride.
He had never said that what he liked and hated the most was her smile.
She only glanced at it, and was called away by the people around her, and soon sneaked into the crowd. Li Longji couldn't care about anything, so he went straight to that side.
Suzaku Street is not all so crowded, there are always some relaxed places, if it weren't for this, Li Longji really couldn't keep up with Xiao Jiangyuan. While he was following, he secretly wondered in his heart, what happened tonight, first Xiao Jiangyuan changed into women's clothes for the first time, and he was not afraid of being discovered, and then along the way, there were more than one palace maids.
Most of them are in a hurry, and they have no intention of appreciating the scenery, could it be that this is a ...... Run away?
What did Xiao Jiangyuan do?!
Li Longji suddenly remembered what he had said to Xiao Jiangyuan in Lishan, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he gave her half a year, but she took less than a month, and the scene was so strong that a group of people accompanied her out of the palace in order to seek the law and not blame the public, this is really ...... There is a grandmother's wind.
He followed Xiao Jiangyuan and the others to pause on the road, and then turned into the alley, but he kept silently hiding in the shadows. I saw Xiao Jiangyuan wearing a light crimson full-breasted skirt, hanging softly to the ground, and the scarlet shawl fell on her shoulders idly. With a smile and gestures, there was a bit of agility and coquettishness in that graceful posture.
He couldn't help but look a little stupid. After a few years, she has finally grown up.
He also watched her calculate everything without a trace, and put down the sisters without mercy, and then took a silk silk and money from them. While secretly sighing that she has grown up, her heart has become darker, and at the same time, he wondered, since she was out of the palace, she came directly to the Five Kings' Mansion to find herself, how much money she needed, he would give it. The money of the palace maids is generally gold, and the private money of three or four palace maids is not a small number, what is she doing in such a hurry?
Before he could think about the result, Li Longji realized that Xiao Jiangyuan saw him, and his heartbeat accelerated. This was the first time she had met him as a woman, and he hadn't thought about it before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and for a while, he was a little nervous. As soon as he took a sip of himself in his heart, he saw Xiao Jiangyuan rushing towards him.
She...... How can you be so enthusiastic?
As soon as the question welled up in his heart, he couldn't help it, raised his arms slightly, and opened his arms, but he didn't want Xiao Jiangyuan to just come to him, and raising his hand was a cut!
By the time he woke up, Xiao Jiangyuan didn't know where he had gone. He couldn't help but be angry and funny, just waiting for her to come to him one day, and then punish her well. At the same time, he shook his slightly dirty clothes, and then he heard a movement not far awayβthe palace maids woke up.
After Yu Niang and the others woke up, they saw Li Longji, they were far away, and they only knew that it was a man or a sneaky man. Seeing that their belongings were gone, and that the wealth of several people was finally reduced to a few gold ingots, they were so angry that they couldn't do it. Because Xiao Jiangyuan gave them really good things, they were refreshed after waking up, and they felt that they had strength all over their bodies, so they got up and ran around them, and stretched out their hands towards Li Longji to hit them.
Li Longji never hits women, and when he saw this posture, he hurriedly hugged his head. Because these palace maids were plump and surrounded by a very tight circle, he couldn't rush out at all, so he had to suffer alive, and at the same time kept shouting: "You misunderstood!" Not me! β
"Not you what? How do you know why we hit you? And say it's not you! β
Even if the palace maids embroider their fists and legs, it doesn't hurt too much to hit him, but after a long time, no one can stand it. Li Longji finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "You palace ladies who came out of the palace, can you have long eyes and see clearly before fighting?!" At the same time, he stretched out his arms and brushed away all the slender hands.
Some palace maids wanted to fight, but they were stopped by Yu Niang: "...... King of Linzi? β
Li Longji rolled his eyes lightly, pointed to the somewhat messy bun, and then pointed to the somewhat torn clothes, but didn't say anything. Yu Niang and the others hurriedly spread the silk clothes on the ground with a smile on their faces, and then asked Li Longji to sit up, one of them combed Li Longji's hair, and Yu Niang knelt on the cold ground, carefully mending Li Longji's clothes.
Seeing that Yu Niang's skills were skillful and the traces of the mending place were very light, she seemed to be an expert, and she knew that the winter had not passed, and she was only afraid of cold on the ground, so she moved: "Sit here." β
Yu Niang obviously didn't expect Li Longji to be like this, she was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks were a little red, and she said with gratitude and shame: "Fang Cai is really sorry, and I hope that the king will forgive me." Several other palace maids also hurriedly saluted and begged for forgiveness.
Li Longji waved his hand idly: "Forget it, just hurry up and get my body right." β
Yu Niang nodded, continued to sew up, but muttered in her mouth: "Since you are not the king of Linzi......"
Li Longji immediately said: "Of course it can't be me!" β
"Yes, yes, how could the King of Linzi lack our savings...... Yu Niang said busily, "Then ......" looked up and saw that Xiao Jiangyuan was gone, and was shocked, "Could it be ...... Is it Xiao Neishou?! β
Li Longji still held a grudge against Xiao Jiangyuan's slash, his eyes rolled when he heard this, the corners of his lips hooked, and he snorted softly: "Isn't that her?!" I just passed by and saw it, so I stopped it, who knew that she didn't do anything, and dared to knock me unconscious at night! It's hateful! β
He finally woke up, but was beaten up by them again...... Not to mention that these palace maids were very resentful of Xiao Jiangyuan after this incident, and their guilt towards Li Longji alone was enough to share the same hatred as Li Longji, so they scolded Xiao Jiangyuan again and again. But after a long time of scolding, they were stopped by Li Longji, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts that this king of Linzi is fickle.
Li Longji coughed lightly and said, "Tell me first, what the hell is going on, why is Xiao Jiangyuan still wearing women's clothes, there are so many palace maids on the street, what are you going to do?" β
Yu Niang said the reason again: "...... Yang Changshou hid too fast, and we couldn't catch him at all, so we hit the idea on his sworn brother Xiao Neishi. Xiao didn't accept any of our belongings, so he really helped us get the quota, and this is why we have tonight. β
Li Longji nodded, and laughed secretly in his heart, Li Xian really loves to play, but why did he think of letting the palace maid out of the palace this time?
