Chapter 9: Prescience
Han Yan saw that Liu Che didn't seem to have any intention of making it clear to Pingyang, so he didn't reveal much, he just thought about Liu Che else, and hastily said a few words to Pingyang before leaving.
"It's a long way to go, and I'll see you off in a car."
Han Yan thought that Liu Che had just recovered from a serious illness, and he should be cautious, so he nodded and agreed, but his palm was scratched, and the blood immediately rushed to his face, Han Yan couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth, and barely suppressed the discomfort on her body that was provoked by the scratch, and politely declined Princess Pingyang's kindness, and only said that she wanted to take Liu Che for a good walk in this city.
After Pingyang entered the palace, Han Yan looked at Liu Che and stopped talking.
Liu Che clenched his hand and also mentioned Pingyang: "She still takes care of you?" ”
Han Yan sighed lightly: "The princess has a lot of concerns about Her Royal Highness, but there have been a lot of troubles in recent years, and she is also lacking in skills. ”
Princess Pingyang is widowed, even if she is the emperor, there are many inconveniences in acting, it is rare to be able to do this, Liu Che's heart is warm, thinking that he is not a failure in this life, among relatives, there is also a person who loves himself regardless of the future.
Han Yan seemed to understand what he was thinking, tightened the hands of the two of them, and turned to something else: "Does Your Highness want to walk around this city?" It's just that the road is very long, so it's better to go to the West Market first to choose a substitute. ”
Liu Che's mind was not on this at all, thinking about Han Yan's words "the road is far away", and then saw that the other party's cheeks were white and thin, where else did he have any thoughts about shopping.
"It's a long way to go, beggar you."
Han Yan was stunned, as if shocked, took three or four steps back, and said with a red face: "Your Highness...... Don't ......"
Liu Che couldn't see him so flattered and suspicious, and his face couldn't help but sink: "Come here." ”
Han Yan's face froze, his memory of Liu Che was still stuck on the emperor who looked down on the world in his previous life, if the other party spoke, he subconsciously complied, he didn't notice it, and slowly moved over.
Liu Che touched his emaciated cheeks, didn't squat, and with a copy of his hands back, Han Yan was firmly supported by him on his back.
It's just that Han Yan was probably nervous, her body was stiff, and she didn't even know how to lean down, but instead stood upright, looking really strange.
Liu Che looked at the shadows of the two stacked together, smiled, and gently patted Han Yan's buttocks: "Why is it becoming more and more useless?" Take it easy. ”
On the contrary, Han Yan became more and more uncomfortable by this similar flirtatious action, and even her legs stiffened.
Liu Che's heart softened, but a bad idea popped up in his mind, his big hand that was originally dragging Han Yan's hip slowly slid up the waistline, and poked lightly in the waist.
Han Yan screamed briefly, and the second half was pressed down by him alive, but his breathing was still heavy, but his body seemed to be pulled out of his back, as Liu Che wished, and lay softly on his back.
Liu Che chuckled and slapped Han Yan: "Go back." ”
Han Yan didn't speak, her breath was hot and sprayed on Liu Che's neck, making him heat up too, and the weather that was originally cold in spring seemed to become gentle and amiable in the blink of an eye.
The way back to the house is quite long, if you ride a horse, you can still catch lunch, so walk back slowly, it has already passed the hour, Liu Che discussed with Han Yan in a low voice: "Is there a favorite restaurant outside here?" ”
Han Yan was slightly stunned, he hadn't come out to walk for a long time, where did he remember whose food was cooked well.
It's just that Liu Che asked, he felt a little ashamed when he couldn't answer, and he couldn't speak, Liu Che sighed silently, but his tone was still normal: "Then it depends on fate." ”
At noon, there were a lot of people, and the two of them were so intimate that many people looked at them, with inquiry and curiosity in their eyes, but there were no defenders who jumped out to accuse them in front of them, not to mention that they were all men, and they probably just felt that the person being carried was unwell or something.
Han Yan was still uncomfortable, he was originally a celebrity in Chang'an, although he was now, but he didn't come out and walk around for a few years, and the literati didn't remember his appearance for a long time, so although the two of them were nobles, no one could see it.
It's just that the shopkeeper felt that the two of them were extraordinary, so they greeted them very attentively and talked, led them to the window position, and reported the name of the dish eloquently.
Liu Che opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered that Han Yan didn't seem to have a special favorite color, so he couldn't help frowning.
The shopkeeper saw that one person hesitated, and the other just hung his head and didn't even say a word, so he came up with a smile and made a recommendation: "The store has a new dish, and the two sons want to try it, but this is the only one in Chang'an City." ”
Liu Che glanced at Han Yan, the man still hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking, so he nodded: "It's okay." ”
The store's eyes lit up, the price of his new dishes here is not cheap, although the taste is good, but many people don't like it, and it's a good thing that it can be sold.
"What are you thinking?"
Liu Che looked at Han Yan and wanted to get closer to him, but after all, there are many people here, if there are some rumors, it is nothing to himself, just don't burden Han Yan, he is a person who reads a lot, attaches importance to etiquette, and also attaches importance to reputation.
It's just that at this time, Liu Che completely forgot that if Han Yan really valued reputation so much, how could she marry as a man.
Etiquette, reputation, and even the future, although he values it, he doesn't value it either.
"Your Highness, the minister's body...... He did not bring any money. ”
Han Yan's eyes dodged, and he almost didn't dare to look at Liu Che, although he never thought of annoying Liu Che with these things, but if he didn't say anything about it, it would be even more difficult to open his mouth after eating.
Liu Che was also stunned, obviously he didn't expect such a dilemma.
Although the Jiaodong Royal Mansion is embarrassed, it will not even be able to pay for a meal, and when it spreads, the reputation of the Jiaodong Royal Mansion is not good, Han Yan's face is gloomy, and even the royal family will be embarrassed.
However, this situation is not a bad thing at the moment.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Che raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Han Yan, Han Yan's face changed, as if she wanted to raise her hand to pick up the teapot, but Liu Che squinted at it, and suddenly froze, and when she came back to her senses, she was ready to move again.
Liu Che knew that it had become a habit for him to serve him, and it would be difficult to change it for a while, if it was a courtier, he wouldn't mind it at all, but he valued Han Yan and didn't want to trap him with these trivial matters because of his status as a married son.
Moreover, in his previous life, plus in this life, he should have taken care of this person, which is really distressing.
Han Yan seemed to understand the meaning in Liu Che's eyes, her eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at the cup of tea that was pushed in front of her, she was a little dazed, but she didn't say anything in the end, picked up the teacup, and took a sip gently.
Liu Che was still not very familiar with the world, so he led Han Yan to this aspect, and the atmosphere was harmonious, until the restaurant brought two plates of red and bright dishes.
Liu Che was very surprised, but he had never seen this thing before, Han Yan looked surprised, and the store explained: "This is an ingredient from the foreign Fanbang, called chili, and the taste is really fresh." ”
Chili pepper?
Liu Che didn't remember that Dahan had such a thing, even unheard of, and there was a rare puzzled expression on his face. He didn't know that this thing did not appear in China even during his reign, even after the death of the Han Dynasty for thousands of years.
Han Yan pursed her lips: "Your Highness might as well give it a try, but the taste is indeed peculiar, Your Highness will try it better." ”
Liu Che looked at Han Yan and guessed that he was probably insensitive to the taste, and the shopkeeper was slightly stunned when he saw that there was no one next to the two, and his eyes flashed, and the pestle was on the side, like a wooden stake, and he didn't move.
Han Yan gave Liu Che a dish, Liu Che tasted it, the taste was really special, and his tongue was almost numb, but it really made him like it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
"Your Highness likes it?"
Liu Che nodded, turned his head to look at the store, and thought about ordering two more light dishes for Han Yan. I don't want to face the store's meaningful face.
"What else does Childe want?"
As soon as Liu Che wanted to speak, the shopkeeper took out a small abacus like a trick, crackled and typed it, and then poked the abacus in front of Liu Che, and repeated: "What else does the son want?" ”
Liu Che laughed angrily at his actions, but looking at the shopkeeper's eyes flashing from time to time, he suddenly understood: "In this market, there are people with such a clear mind. ”
Han Yan looked at the store in surprise, and couldn't help but say, "Is the Jiaodong Royal Mansion already poor to the point that everyone knows it?" ”
The shopkeeper took back the abacus and leisurely fiddled with the abacus on it: "The villain likes to drill into the corners and alleys of the street, and has collected a lot of good things, one of which is very similar to the thing on the waist of this son." ”
Han Yan's face turned red, and she glanced at Liu Che at a loss, her hands hanging by her sides, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly, her face full of embarrassment.
Liu Che felt that Han Yan was too harsh on himself, he was not good at management, it was not a mistake, and it was not easy to survive to this day.
"Now that you know, then you can go and collect the debt yourself."
Liu Che didn't care, picked up the teapot casually and added another cup of tea to Han Yan.
The shopkeeper froze, looking at Liu Che in a daze, Han Yan also looked at Liu Che in confusion, Liu Che chuckled: "Since everyone you want to know about the current situation in Jiaodong Palace, you might as well send a letter to others, lest someone do lip service." ”
Han Yan looked at Liu Che disapprovingly: "Your Highness thinks twice, in this way, your reputation ......"
Liu Che waved his hand, now is not the time to die to save face and suffer crimes.
The shopkeeper held the abacus tightly in his hand, and his face showed a tangled look, as if he wanted to take a risk, but he didn't dare to do it.
Liu Che knocked on the table: "Let's have two lighter dishes." ”
The shopkeeper shook off his abacus and gritted his teeth and left, as if he had already made a decision, but Han Yan's face was not very good, his eyes fell on the table, and he sighed long: "It's Han Yan who is incompetent......
Liu Che reached out from under the table, held Han Yan's hand tightly, and felt a little strange, he asked, "What did Wang Sun do with Lone?" Is it true that you don't know the suffering of the world? ”
Han Yan twisted his head and didn't speak, his temperament was also stubborn, and he couldn't be easily dismissed.
Liu Che couldn't do anything about his temperament in his previous life, and he was naturally powerless in this life. I had no choice but to tell him the purpose of this action.
Han Yan was very surprised, and exclaimed, "Your Highness is going to the fiefdom?" ”
