Song Wu'er and the others had just come to this red leaf forest, and it was still early before noon.

At that time, many people enjoyed the scenery here, talked and laughed. Even if they are in a remote pavilion, they can hear some conversation from time to time, or see figures walking not far away.

As time goes by, more and more people come to the autumn leaf forest.

When it was time for lunch, Song Wu'er and Lou Lichen did not go home, nor did they choose to leave the red leaf forest first and go to the nearest inn to order two side dishes. In this red leaf forest, there are many hawkers, why do you have to run so far.

Lou Lichen, as the crown prince, is pampered and well-fed. Song Wu'er thought that he couldn't get used to eating the food from the street vendors, but he didn't think that he didn't dislike it at all.

Song Wu'er told the little maid to buy something to eat, and they waited in the pavilion.

It is rare for Song Wu'er to talk to Lou Lichen for so long, and when she meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace, she usually doesn't speak more than three sentences. After all, the identities of the two people are over there, Lou Lichen, as the crown prince, has a lot of things to deal with, and Song Wu'er is the daughter of a court official, of course, there will not be too much intersection.

She found that Lou Lichen's thoughts were really elusive, and some of the questions he asked were arbitrary and unreasonable, and they were completely determined by his mood.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, didn't I tell you a long time ago that I came here to make an appointment, and you should ask King Nan'an about what it is. Why don't you ask someone to come back to him and say a few nice words? Otherwise, he can tell you what we are here for. ”

As soon as the words fell, what he got was a sneer from Lou Lichen: "If you don't know the purpose of the Third Emperor Brother looking for you, will you come here?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I really didn't come because of this." Even if there was no letter from Lou Jingyuan, she would have remembered the matter of Lou Lichen and Kong Shiren's argument today, and came to Hongye Forest to watch the excitement, and by the way, she might help him out of the siege.

That's right, it's "maybe" that will help him out! At first, she really wanted to come over to help Lou Lichen and prevent him from making Kong Shiren angry, but now her idea has changed. If the ability to bear it is poor, it is really easy for him to get angry when he speaks, and he saved his life, maybe one day he will be angry with herself, she doesn't want it!

"Then why did Chu Mi'er come with you?"

"And that's not thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Speaking of which, Wu Er also has to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Song Wu'er got up and sincerely saluted and thanked him.

Lou Lichen was puzzled, "Thank me?" ”

"Yes, after knowing about the prince of Nan'an and Mi'er, I want to fulfill the two of them. But when it comes to the marriage contract, the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, and especially the marriage contract promised by His Majesty himself, I don't know how to speak. Song Wu'er looked embarrassed and regretful.

"Even if I told my parents, I didn't expect much from the outcome. If it weren't for the prince's kindness to help, I'm afraid they would really have no chance for the hard-working mandarin ducks, and then I would have become a sinner. ”

These words were specially said to Lou Lichen.

According to Zhao's temperament, how could he allow his baby daughter to be angry. If Concubine Song Shufei was unwilling at that time, and Lou Lichen did not intervene, the Zhao family could also find ways to get His Majesty to cancel the marriage contract between Song Wu'er and Lou Jingyuan, the king of Nan'an.

Lou Lichen recalled that he took the initiative to tell his father about the cause and effect of this incident.

On that day, Concubine Song Shu specially sent someone to invite him to Fangzhi Palace for the matter of the girl of the Chu family and the third emperor brother Lou Jingyuan, and when she got there, she happened to hear Lou Jingyuan lying and justifying him and Chu Mi'er.

In the court, he has always been unaccustomed to those who are flattering and perfunctory, and lying is absolutely intolerable. He knew the truth and couldn't get used to Lou Jingyuan quibbling in front of him at that time, and Song Shoufu's wife didn't want the marriage contract to take effect, anyway, she just went to inform her father and the emperor, and it was just a gesture.

He had heard everything that had happened since then, but he didn't have the leisure to understand.

"You ...... him to the Third Emperor Brother"

Song Wu'er replied with a serious expression: "King Nan'an is my cousin, that's all. ”

For some reason, hearing Song Wu'er say this with his own ears, Lou Lichen actually felt a trace of joy in his heart. Such a strange emotion was quickly suppressed by him. Others, suddenly I don't want to ask.

"The two of them have been out for too long, you go and get the king of Nan'an and them back."

"Wait." Song Wu'er stopped the little guy who ran out, "I think the prince of Nan'an will have a lot to say to Mi'er." We are in front of them, and we disturb them somewhat. We'll wait a little longer here. ”

"They are walking together, and according to the previous situation, more intimate behavior may also appear, this is undoubtedly not to show everyone the relationship between the two, you are not worried at all what the people of this city will say about the three of you?"

Give a dog a bad name and hang him.

These four words are not groundless, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people have suffered because of these four words. They are far from their homeland, or they can't stand it anymore and choose to commit suicide.

After Lou Jingyuan was named the king of Nan'an, he lived in the mansion outside the palace, often going in and out of various places, he was outstanding in appearance, full of poetry and books, and the men, women and children in the city knew his appearance.

Chu Mi'er's appearance is not outstanding, and she doesn't have any good or bad reviews, but when she and Lou Jingyuan appear in front of everyone together, she can't hide it.

There will never be an impermeable wall in the world, Lou Jingyuan, Song Wu'er, Chu Mi'er, the three of them will become the pastime of the people after tea and dinner.

"Is the prince worried about the king of Nan'an or is he worried about the little girl?" Song Wu'er said jokingly.

Lou Lichen was stunned for a while, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

His reaction happened to be exactly what she expected, and seeing that he had nothing to say, his mood became inexplicably happy.

The little maid and the maidservant who followed Lou Lichen glanced at each other, and they could see the smiles in each other's eyes.

Their Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with a noble status, will directly say things that he is not used to, and his words are aggressive. Others don't want to offend the royal family and offend the future emperor, so they have always broken their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs.

Therefore, for so many years, only he made others speechless, and it was the first time they saw the moment when their master would be speechless.

Lou Lichen turned his head and said angrily: "A woman should have the appearance of a woman when she speaks, and she can't be so frivolous when she speaks." ”

"Oh?" Song Wu'er raised her eyebrows, "The prince is pretending to be rotten at this time, and he is a little late." I didn't see any opinions from you when I spoke before, not to mention, after careful study, the prince didn't speak as steadily and decently as the prince should have, didn't he? ”

"The words you said when you reminded Mi'er to pay attention to her demeanor just now, people with a little ink in their stomachs will gently remind the prince to poke at the sore spot, is this appropriate?"

Lou Lichen's expression froze, "Are you teaching me a lesson?" The atmosphere was a little depressing, and the words revealed a coercion that could not be criticized at will.

In the face of the sudden pressure, Song Wu'er was not afraid at all, and continued with a light smile, "How dare I teach the prince a lesson, I am just kindly reminding the prince, why should the prince be angry?" ”

"Who said I was angry. You girl, I didn't find out before, the little daughter of Song Shoufu's family also inherited the advantages of both parents, and it is really interesting. ”

Lou Lichen laughed loudly, his smile was different from Lou Jingyuan's warmth like a spring breeze, a little more wanton domineering and arrogant. For a moment, she was blinded, attracted by the smile.

"Miss, the food is here." The little servant had several things to eat in his hand, and trotted all the way to them, "Miss, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should all be hungry, eat while it's hot." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Song Wu'er cough lightly, looked up at the prince's expression, then lowered his head and silenced, and retreated to the side to serve after setting up the food.

Song Wu'er is not strict with her subordinates on weekdays, what is the use of eating, if she thinks it is appropriate, she will reward her somewhat. Especially when it comes to eating, this little guy is afraid that he is also hungry, so he will be too eager in front of outsiders for a while, and it is not a big mistake to lose his manners. Fortunately, Lou Lichen didn't say anything to blame, otherwise she would definitely be beaten by her again.

The slave is one level lower than the master, but he will not be scolded for no reason.

Immediately afterwards, Song Wu'er pushed the same food to Lou Lichen and said, "The prince might as well give it a try, this kind of folk snack on the street is very rare to see in the palace." ”

The palace is full of imperial chefs, carefully cooked, in order to conform to the noble status of the royal family, and the materials used are also of the best quality. Even if you make the same food as the hawker, the taste is different from the market snack after all.

"Do you eat it often?" Lou Lichen took a bite and nodded slightly. It tastes really good.

"This autumn leaf forest is famous in the city, and it is often visited by other ladies. I've tasted all the food sold here. ”

"Then take me to try it next time." He was not asking Song Wu'er's opinion, but directly made a decision for her.

"If I have time, I will send someone to inform the prince." If you ask me to come with you, I'll come with you, it's too shameless.

"No need, wait a few days, I'll go to the house to meet Shousuke in person, and I'll talk to Shousuke when the time comes. I don't think Shousuke-sama will refuse such a small request. "I won't give you any chance to refuse.

"Then when will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to visit my father? I also had to make preparations and think about where to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and what to eat. ”

"It's too late to think about it then."

Song Wu'er greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her heart, and she was still smiling on her face, and she strongly recommended all kinds to him. After he really came to visit, she would find a way, if she was unwell, she couldn't force her to come out with him.

Not long after the two of them finished eating, a voice came from not far away, and a group of figures were walking towards the pavilion where they were.

"I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, who is busy all day. Kong Shiren sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Kong Shiren of the Yansheng Mansion, the person Song Wu'er has been looking forward to since he came here, finally appeared.
