Chapter 2: Searching

Palace.

The Lantern Festival has passed for a long time, and spring has quietly come, and in the inner courtyard of the palace, An Le is sitting listlessly in the pavilion.

In the distance, the emperor and Ye Shu walked over.

The emperor's face was majestic, but when he saw An Le, his condensed gaze flashed a hint of softness: "Who bullied my princess again?" Why are you unhappy? ”

When An Le saw the emperor, his little face lit up, and he called softly: "Father." ”

Today's emperor is not an amorous person, but there are many children, but An Le is his most beloved daughter, An Le's mother Shuguifei is the emperor's childhood sweetheart, the two are very affectionate, and later Shuguifei fell ill and died, the emperor was heartbroken, and he also loved the only daughter of the two.

"Let my father guess, but Le'er is older, and the daughter is not left?" As he spoke, the emperor glanced at Ye Shu next to him.

Ye Shu is two years older than An Le, he is An Le's cousin, the two are childhood sweethearts, Ye Shu is a talent, both civil and military, the emperor has long intended to marry An Le Xu to Ye Shu.

I don't know why, An Le heard his father's words, and his eyes flashed with the handsome face of the man he met in the downtown area, her face turned red, and she pursed the corners of her lips, that person ...... I don't know if he is married?

Realizing what she was thinking, she couldn't help but blush her cheeks.

When the emperor saw this situation, he glanced at Ye Shu, his eyes full of smiles.

"Let's talk first, I still have official business." The emperor said, giving Ye Shu an encouraging look, and then he took people immediately.

Waiting for the emperor to go away, An Le suddenly looked at Ye Shu, his eyes lit up.

"What, what?" Ye Shu asked vigilantly.

Every time An Le looked at him with this kind of eyes, it was not a good thing, Ye Shu was very experienced.

"Cousin," the little girl's voice was soft and glutinous, and her heart was about to soften when she heard it, "will you take me out of the palace?" ”

Obviously, she had been prepared before, and she couldn't let her temperament come to her, but as soon as she stared at her with a sparkling gaze, Ye Shu couldn't help but nod.

"Then I'll go change my clothes!"

An Le's movements were very fast, because Ye Shu was there, and he left the palace smoothly.

"Anle, what are you doing at the bazaar? There is no rally today. ”

"I know," An Le's eyes looked around, looking for the figure in his memory, "I'm not here to visit the rally. ”

"And what are you doing here?" Ye Shu asked puzzled.

"Oh cousin, don't worry about it!" An Lejiao said angrily, but her eyes were still looking around.

She could only come here and wait for him, she only knew that he had passed by here, and that was the only way she could think of it.

A touch of helplessness flashed in Ye Shu's eyes, but it had become instinct for him to indulge her, and he didn't want to go against her wishes.

But Ye Shu didn't expect that An Le had been here for more than ten days since he came, staying here in the downtown every day, as if he was looking for someone, but he didn't say anything when he asked her.

Ye Shu was helpless, so he had to wait with her.

On this day, Ye Shu and An Le just came to the market, and they met a few of Ye Shu's classmates and friends, and An Le didn't want to see the living, so he walked to the side and waited for him.

An Le turned her head and saw a long figure gradually walking over, her gaze fell on that figure, and she couldn't take her eyes off it anymore.

Instinctively, she followed his footsteps all the way to South Street.

"Nine Cities Terracotta Division?" An Le whispered, "It turns out that he is a member of the Nine Cities Terracotta Division!" ”

"Hello Master Gu!" The guard at the gate of the yamen called respectfully.

"Gu Zhao, you wait for me......" A young man in an official uniform not far away hurriedly called.

An Le saw him stop and wait for the man, and the two walked in while talking.

Her eyes sparkled, she really came to the right place today, not only did she know where he was on an errand, but she also knew his name!

Ye Shu lost An Le, looked around anxiously, and then saw An Le come back by himself, but no matter how he asked, she refused to say where she went, and then she stopped going to the downtown to guard.

An Le went out of the palace every day to guard outside the yamen of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses.

On this day, as soon as Gu Zhao walked out of the yamen, he was stopped by a pretty girl.

Gu Zhaoqing's cold gaze swept over her face, his footsteps did not stop, he walked forward past her, he was stunned, hurriedly ran up, and stopped him again.

"You don't know me, do you?" There was a hint of grievance in her voice.

Gu Zhao's face did not change, but she confirmed that she did come to him: "I don't know the girl, but the girl has recognized the wrong person?" ”

An Le was immediately a little unhappy, the person she had been thinking about for so many days didn't know her anymore!

By the way, she was wearing a mask that day, and he didn't see her face, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize it, and An Le immediately became happy again.

"It's okay, I remember you, it's fine." An Le pursed the corners of his lips and said with a smile.

Gu Zhao frowned slightly, just looking at the little girl's innocent and bright smile, he was also a little helpless.

The people of this dynasty are open, and there are also girls who see the man they like and confess enthusiastically and boldly, Gu Zhao has also attracted a lot of such peach blossom debts because of his outstanding appearance.

It's just that a delicate girl like this, at first glance, is a woman from a very good family, innocent and lively, ignorant of the world, and even rejects her feels like a sin.

It's just an ignorant child.

Gu Zhao's expression froze, he wrinkled his brows, and said with a serious face: "The girl's family should have self-respect and self-love, how can she contact a foreign man at will?" Please also ask the girl to respect herself! ”

"Oh." An Le replied disappretently, and suddenly smiled: "You, you are so serious, and my father...... It's like my father. ”

Obviously only a few years older than her, but she spoke old-fashioned, with a straight face, a serious face, more strict than the master in the school, she didn't feel afraid, but felt a little cute.

Gu Zhao: "......"

Gu Zhao really didn't understand what the girl was thinking now, and in her focused smiling gaze, Gu Zhao almost ran away.

However, Gu Zhao was too happy, and for several days in a row, every day when he went down to the yamen, he would see An Le waiting for him outside the door.
