In mid-May, in the afternoon of Chang'an.

A moment ago, the sun was scorching, and suddenly a strong wind rose, black clouds rushed to crush the city, and the electric light was faint.

In the streets, or gathering clothes, or hurrying home, one after another, each closed the door and closed the window, and in the blink of an eye, it was empty and quiet, revealing the messy footsteps that were originally covered.

As he turned the corner, the man finally stopped when he was exhausted.

After stopping, the wheezing sound was mixed with whimpering, urgent and hurtful, and the people in the upstairs couldn't help but open the window to look down, but only to see a red shirt disappearing into the corner of the street for a moment.

Suddenly there was a boom, and in an instant, the torrential rain poured.

The red shirt was thin, and getting wet in the rainstorm was only a blink of an eye, and she paused to wipe the rain from her face, endured a whimper, and continued to run forward.

The moment I turned the last street corner and saw the Jiangling Palace, it seemed that the strength on my body had been drained all of a sudden, and with a "pop", I fell into the pond, and the delicately embroidered summer shirt was suddenly soaked in muddy water.

She burst into tears, staggered forward a few more steps, and when she reached the gate of the Gangneung Palace, she no longer had the strength to move, and even her crying was weak.

When the gatekeeper of the palace heard the movement, he hurriedly took an umbrella and came out to inquire.

With the strength she had managed to muster, she pushed open the gatehouse and shouted at the gate of the palace: "Li Changdu! Li Changdu! You come out for me! ”

The girl's voice was as sharp as a needle, passing through the stone wall of the rain curtain, and the sound of the rain penetrated into her ears.

Zhong hesitated, turned his head to look in the direction of the gate, smiled faintly, and walked into the soft wind court.

The sound of rain can make it more poignant, or it can make it more gentle.

Before entering the door, Li Changdu's voice came over, gentle and gentle, gentle and moving.

“…… I've already asked you to bring your family into the palace, and you'll move back when the wedding is approaching...... Save it from anyone insulting you......"

"There is no need to be restrained to live here, just look for Ran Du if you have something...... If you don't come out every day, don't bother her......"

Zhong Chichi smiled slightly and followed the voice.

The maid under the corridor saw her first, and she called lightly, and Li Changwei and He Qiuniang in the house also heard it.

Li Changdui greeted her, looked at her twice with concern, frowned slightly between his eyebrows, and said, "Why did you come here with such a heavy rain?" ”

Zhong Chichi smiled and said: "With such a heavy rain, I can't stay on the wind platform, come and see the holy decree!" ”

The holy decree was sent in the morning, and Li Changwei specially took a day off to accompany He Qiuniang to receive the decree at home.

Hearing her talk about the holy decree, Li Changdu's expression faded, and he said, "You know everything, right?" ”

Zhong Chi nodded.

She had read the holy decree last night, so when it was delivered in the morning, she was not in a hurry to come down from the wind platform, and then it rained heavily, so she thought about coming over to see Li Changdu's mood.

Li Changdu's mood looks neither good nor bad, and he has probably gotten a little wind before.

Zhong Chichi felt that he should say a few words: "Don't blame Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and King Jing both have this idea, after all, Mrs. He-" Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced over, Zhong Chichi obediently closed his mouth and smiled.

But He Qiuniang had already lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and showed an embarrassed posture.

Everyone knows what Zhong didn't finish talking about.

Today's decree is a decree for marriage, not a decree for marriage.

Li Changdu's request to be the concubine of the county king was rejected by the queen mother and King Jing of Ren Zongzhengqing.

With He Qiuniang's identity, it is still very difficult to be registered as a concubine, if everyone turns a blind eye, it will pass, once someone objects, it will be very difficult, especially King Jing also stood up to oppose it.

Therefore, the last decree was to be registered as a side concubine.

From the perspective of others, the identity of the princess of the county is still high for He Qiuniang, but Li Changwei still feels that his sweetheart has been wronged.

No, I won't let her say a word.

"You are too careful, how dare I blame Your Majesty?" He said with a cold expression.

Don't you wonder you're still so weird?

Zhong Chichi felt a little bored and was about to say goodbye.

Ran Du ran in with an umbrella at this time, and said, "Yuan Qi Niangzi is here, I want to see Your Highness!" ”

He Qiuniang's low cry sounded in his ears, Zhong Chichi glanced back, and the cowardly little lady unconsciously grabbed the corner of Li Changdu's sleeve, revealing a frightened look.

Li Changwan patted the back of her hand soothingly, and said coldly, "No! ”

Ran Du hesitated and said, "Yuan Qi Niangzi is drenched in the rain outside...... His Royal Highness must go out to see her, and refuse to go into the house to hide from the rain......"

Li Changdu's eyebrows tightened, and he said, "Send someone to notify the Yuan clan to pick it up!" ”

Zhong Chichi was a little stunned when she heard it, she had never seen Li Changwan look so indifferent, remembering the tone of his speech to He Qiuniang just now, how tender he was at that time, how ruthless he was at this time.

"With such heavy rain, Yuan Niangzi will get sick...... Your Highness will invite someone in first, right? He Qiuniang spoke softly and persuasively.

Ran Du also echoed: "If something happens to Yuan Niangzi, we will not be able to explain to the Yuan family......"

Li Changdui was unmoved, lowered his head and stroked He Qiuniang's hair, and said, "If it weren't for her, how could you have been wronged?" I don't want to see this person again! ”

He Qiuniang's eyes were bright, and she was obviously extremely moved.

Yuan Qi Niang's cry came from his ears again, and his voice was already a little hoarse.

Zhong Chi pursed his lips and followed Ran Du to turn around and leave.

"Delayed!"

Li Changwei called out to her, and when he saw her turn around, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhong Chichi smiled and said, "Go anywhere!" Do you want to stay and watch you and me? ”

He Qiuniang covered her face and ran in.

Li Changwei also looked a little uncomfortable, and said, "It's raining heavily at this time, you can leave later, don't get wet." ”

Zhong Chichi laughed, rolled up his sleeves lightly, withdrew the umbrella he had just put down in his hand, and said, "How can I get wet?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the person had already entered the rain curtain, under the cyan oil-paper umbrella, the dark Luo shirt was like smoke and fog, and the delicate red peony on the embroidered shoes floated past the water and disappeared at the door.

Walking out of the soft wind garden, the cry outside the door became clearer and clearer.

Zhong hesitated for a moment and walked towards the gate.

The gatekeeper of the palace was standing beside Yuan Qiniang with an umbrella, his face was full of embarrassment, he heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, his eyes lit up, and he shouted in surprise: "Zhong Niangzi!" ”

The girl who was slumped in the rain and wept finally lowered her hands and raised her head.

Her hair and clothes were soaked, her body was muddy, her face was so embarrassed that she couldn't see any of her usual appearance, and even her eyes were gray and lifeless.

Zhong Chi walked slowly in front of her, waved his hand to the porter, Gu Zi squatted down, looked at her for a while, and laughed: "Li Changdui is accompanying his future princess!" How can I come out to see you? ”
