Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 31 Encountering a Mysterious Man on the Road
"Niangniang, Niangniang, what are you doing?" Biyun asked as she looked at Tao Yaoyao with her eyes open.
In the past few days, Qing Ye has come here every day, either to eat some barbecue or play cards, and to leave when it gets dark. And since a small episode with Concubine Rong that day, I haven't seen her come to find trouble, and she is a little remote, and no one comes, so life is more leisurely.
However, Tao Xiaoyao always felt faintly uneasy, and always felt that this was the calm before the storm.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Tao Xiaoyao comforted herself.
"Biyun, is this our way back?" When Tao Yao came back to his senses, he suddenly found himself in a place he didn't know at all.
"Niangniang, Taoyuan lives in the south, we should be right all the way south......" The voice became smaller and smaller.
Seeing her like this, Tao Yaoyao shook her head funny, it seems that Bacheng is lost, and she has to pull someone over to ask, otherwise such a big palace will not be able to go back even if it gets dark.
But this place is beautiful! Tao Yaoyao's side is a meadow, and further ahead is a lake and a forest, only to see that the lake is sparkling, the lotus has not yet fallen, but it is not so lush and dense, there is a pure and holy beauty.
"Scorching lotus flowers, pavilions out of the water. One stem is lonely and green, and the two shadows share dividends. The color grabs the face of the song, and the fragrance dances in the style of clothes. The name lotus can be read by itself, and the situation is the same as the two hearts. Tao Xiaoxiao walked towards the lake unconsciously, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a person standing by the forest.
"Niangniang, slow down, Biyun can't keep up!" Biyun trotted with steps.
"Biyun, don't you think this place is much more beautiful than any labor-management garden? I've decided to make this our secret base! Tao Yaoyao looked up at the sky and said loudly.
Not to mention that this place is not yours, shouldn't you go to find your way back now?
"Niangniang, let's go to the front first and see if anyone asks for directions!" Biyun said with a sad face and a frown.
"Look, isn't there a living person ready-made? Let's ask. Tao Yaoyao listened to Biyun's words and felt that this was indeed the case, and looked left and right to see if there were any people nearby, and suddenly saw a person standing near the edge of the forest, less than ten steps away from them, but the forest was hidden for a while, and quickly picked up his skirt and ran over there.
"!" Before Biyun could react, he saw that Tao Yao ran away again and hurriedly followed.
"Hello, I want to ask, do you know how to get to Taoyuan from here?" Tao Yaoyao hurriedly asked before he could stand still, and suddenly thought that the geographical location of Taoyuanju was not obvious, and asked: "Well, or do you ......know the peach forest in the south from here?"
"You're from Taoyuanju?" The man standing interrupted before Tao could finish speaking.
Tao Xiaoxiao only stood up at this time and looked at the person in front of him. The eyes are like peach and apricot pupils are enchanting, the thin lips are lightly pursed and uninhibited, wearing a dark red double gauze satin robe, revealing a red neon bead embroidered belt, and the body is thin and like a romantic figure. Different from the coldness of Qing Yezhuo, this person is enchanting, and Tao Yao is a little ashamed.
"The slave maid is a new palace maid, and when she ran away from her companion on an errand, she would rush back and not know the way. I'm also bothering the adults to show me the way. Seeing that this person knew Taoyuanju, Taoyao's eyes and bones rolled around, and he gave Biyun who came over a look, and then lowered his head and said.
It's also that she usually doesn't like complicated, although the degree is good, and there are a lot of jewelry, but she doesn't wear it much, except for the spring ribbon color on her wrist, the dress accessories are in line with the principle of less and simpler, the better, and she wears some light colors, and even has very little makeup.
"Oh? The palace maid of Taoyuanju ...... "The man looked at Tao Yao with a smile.
Tao Yaoyao was uncomfortable when she looked at her, and goosebumps rose on her back.
"It's not impossible, but this king has one condition." Tao Yao was worried when he heard this person's voice, I damn it, you just show the way and talk about the conditions, do you know what the spirit of helpfulness is?
"My lord, please say, as long as the slave can do it." Tao Xiaoyao still replied in a low voice.
"Don't worry, this king will naturally not be difficult for you, you can give this thing to your mother." After saying that, he handed over an inky small sac-like object.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at this thing.
Kindness? For me? What is it? Do we know each other? And what do you call yourself king, the brother of the night burner, or who?
couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, although there were many questions, Tao Xiaoyao still reached out to take the thing and put it into her arms. Kindness! This workmanship and feel is a good thing at first glance, is this person peeping at himself? I'll go, I'm brave enough!
"Go around the woods and go straight to see the main road." Tao Yaoyao was thinking about it, but his thoughts were interrupted by this sentence.
"Then it's bothering my lord, the slave must give this to the mother." After speaking, Tao Xiaoyao pulled Biyun and ran in the direction that the man pointed.
The man saw the figure of Tao running away, and the corner of his mouth smiled evilly. "Tao Yao'er, you are indeed a little special, no wonder the imperial brother has a soft spot for you, and even this king is starting to be curious, but who are you giving love to in this poem-" Look closely at this person is the one sitting in front of the man in black when Tao Xiaoxiao was eating at the inn that day, the third brother of the emperor and the original third prince - Qing Tianhao, that is, the current King Ping. But I don't know anything about these peaches.
Besides, the two who finally ran back to the courtyard saw Qing Yezhuo sitting on the familiar stone bench as soon as they entered the courtyard.
"The concubine (slave) didn't know that the emperor had arrived, there was a ......" Biyun was startled and immediately knelt down.
"Come, come." Qing Ye Zhuo interrupted Momo's words with a smile, and he had been laughing more and more lately.
Tao Yaoyao saw the joy on Qing Yezhuo's face, so he walked over with confidence.
"You don't have much to do every day these days, would you like to go out of the palace with me?" Tao Yaoyao was not happy when she heard the first half of the sentence, who said that I have nothing to do, I obviously have a lot of things to do! But when I suddenly heard the second half of the sentence, my face immediately bloomed. Yo, Qing Yezhuo, what's wrong with you today, suddenly so deeply aware of righteousness!
"Are we going out of the palace?" Tao Yaoyao asked again uncertainly.
"There is news from Huicheng that there is a drought over there, the land has dried up, the farmers have no harvest, many people have been displaced and even starved to death, and the court has allocated a lot of silver but it is a drop in the bucket, I have decided to go there to see what is going on." Although Qing Yezhuo was saying this with a smile, there was no doubt about the heaviness and firmness in his eyes, and it was conceivable that he, the new emperor, was not so easy to be, and there were many obstacles.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Tao raised her head suddenly, looked at the person in front of her, and smiled like a flower.
"Xiao'er can think about it, we have to cover up our identities on this trip, it can be described as a lot of twists and turns, the journey is bumpy, and it may be ......," Qing Yezhuo asked softly as he took Tao Yaoyao into his arms.
"You-I just stayed in this palace and was so idle, how could such an interesting thing be missing me!" Tao Yaoyao blushed and then said, although he said it lightly, a trace of depression in his expression did not escape Qing Yezhuo's eyes.
"There's something more interesting than traveling, but I'm interested?" Qing Ye Zhuo looked at Tao Yaoyao lightly and asked.
"You! Rogue! As soon as Tao Yaoyao reacted, she immediately frowned and reprimanded angrily.
As the sun sets, night hits. Qing Yezhuo left a message to approve the excerpt and left, I have to say that he is a good emperor who cares about the society. Tao Yaoyao sat in front of the window after washing up and took out two things - one was the show bag that the mysterious man asked him to give to him today, and the other was the small bag that the second prince of Nansu, the owner of Jinshifang, who was the owner of the Golden Stone Workshop, who had made amends that day.
Tao Yao thought for a moment before opening the two objects.
The package that Gu Zhiqi handed over was the Seven Tricks and Seven Heart Bracelets that he sold for ten thousand taels of silver in Linglong Pavilion, what does this mean? Is it really a gift? Why don't you believe it so much, but is there any other reason besides this reason? Tao Xiaoyao didn't think much about it, and opened another small bag.
Suddenly, Tao Yaoyao's apricot eyes widened and her face looked shocked. This other bag had only one note and only one line on it.
"Want to know how you got off the cliff?"
