Two years later.

Under an old locust tree, there stood a slim woman, wearing a light blue dress, with jet-black hair flowing over her waist, with fragmentary tassels hanging around her waist, and two golden steps pinned to her bun, swaying with the wind.

The woman standing next to her, dressed in a green shirt and carrying a basket in her hand, was bending over to pick up the locust flowers that had fallen to the ground.

Occasionally, two butterflies, overlapping each other, fly over their heads.

Gu Nuan clasped his hands around his chest, leaned on the locust tree on the side, held the basket in green clothes, walked to Gu Nuan's side, and said, "County Lord, this locust flower is already full." ”

Gu Nuan looked at it and nodded with satisfaction,

"Let's dry this locust flower."

Greencoat lifted the basket and entered the house.

"Smack." A purple grape rolled down at Gu Nuan's feet.

Gu Nuan just glanced at it lightly, and then said, "Lu Boting! ”

"Yo, yes, I actually remember the name of the master."

The corners of Gu Nuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer, in the past two years, Lu Boting has been running to the palace a lot, if she hadn't seen him for a day or two, it would be a rare thing.

Gu Nuan turned around, looked at Lu Boting who was sitting on the wall, and couldn't help but quip: "The prince passes by my wall every day, should he also give a toll." ”

Today, he rarely wore a white robe, with a red and white belt tied around his waist, a piece of round jade tied on it, and his black hair was tied high, fixed with only a red hosta, and the same thing was still the appearance of the hanger.

Lu Boting pursed his mouth, spread his hands, supported the wall and jumped over, and landed steadily in front of Gu Nuan, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said with a slight temptation: "This is not asking for money, this person has one." ”

In the past two years, Gu Nuan has been a lot taller, with a round face, a sharp and thin chin under his eyes, and a pair of almond eyes, which are exceptionally clear.

With a snort, Gu Nuan raised his eyebrows lightly.

"The prince still doesn't make fun of the little girl."

Lu Boting's eyes darkened, and they were fleeting.

He leaned slightly sideways, and skillfully lay down on the soft collapse, still with a grinning expression on his face.

Gu Nuan was not annoyed, lifted the teapot on the table, and filled a cup of tea for him.

"What interesting things did you encounter when the prince was outside?"

Lu Boting was a little different, supported his head with his left hand, and quipped: "The county lord doesn't know what day it is, right?" ”

Day? After staying in the palace for a long time, I really don't know, Gu Nuan shook his head.

"Today is the folk Lantern Festival."

The Lantern Festival is a festival held by the people, and it is said that it is a festival that only occurs once every three years.

Lu Boting got up and walked in front of Gu Nuan.

"The county lord might as well enjoy the light and go and have a look together."

"This ......"

Gu Nuan's face was a little hesitant, and he was about to excuse himself.

Lu Boting didn't give her a chance to react, skillfully took her hand and walked out of the house.

"It's just once in three years, and it's a pity to miss it."

In the past two years, Gu Nuan has performed well in the palace, and he also got the opportunity to leave the palace with the emperor's permission, and with Lu Boting's guarantee, the two of them successfully left the palace.

The scenery on the street is different from that inside the palace, with red lanterns hanging high all around, and even the tree is covered with red silk and colored lanterns.

Everywhere is lit up, and lanterns are sold on the surrounding vendors. On the streets where people come and go, there is a lot of traffic, and the shouts of the vendors are a lively scene.

There were also young girls with graceful figures, veiled faces, accompanied by maids, walking through the streets.

Gu Nuan couldn't help but sigh, this posture is not weaker than the supermarket at all.

The crowd was crowded, and the two were very close to each other.

I don't know who bumped Gu Nuan's arm, the huge convention made her lean back, Lu Boting on the side quickly hugged her, looking at Gu Nuan's somewhat flustered appearance, he couldn't help but quip: "The county lord had better grab the corner of my clothes, if it gets lost, I won't be responsible." ”

He withdrew his arm and walked forward.

Gu Nuan's face changed, and he immediately followed, and with some reluctance, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.

Lu Boting looked at the small hands at the corners of his clothes and smiled a little distractedly.

Manpacha.

As soon as Xiao Er saw Lu Boting, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and immediately surrounded him with a smile.

"Shizi, it's still the same."

Lu Boting took out a silver ingot from his arms, threw it in Xiao Er's hand, and then led Gu Nuan to the attic.

Gu Nuan naturally heard Xiao Er's words just now, tugged at his clothes, and couldn't help asking, "Listening to Xiao Er's tone, you often come here?" ”

"This is Wanbao Zhai, all the delicacies are gathered in Gege, this kind of good place, how can you miss it, today you are open to eat, I have a treat."

The wing room selected by Lu Boting is the best place in the whole Wanbao Zhai, from here you can see the whole picture of the entire capital, and the movements of people on the street can be seen clearly.

Lu Boting lifted the wine jug on the side and filled Gu Nuan's wine glass.

"I'm not a good drinker."

Haha –

Lu Boting held his belly and smiled, and then Gu Nuan slowly explained with a confused expression: "This is rose dew, which is the first drop of nectar mixed with the juice of rose fermentation in the morning, and boiled into a drink. ”

Hearing him say this, Gu Nuan was a little moved, picked up the wine glass on the table, sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose, it was indeed a floral fragrance of roses, close to his lips, and took a sip gently, the fragrance of roses was rich, sweet and delicious.

Frontier.

"Your Highness, the county asks to see you."

Xiao Jingyi hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand,

"Please."

Soon, the attendant led in a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man knelt down on his knees and threw his hands tightly on the ground.

"Your Highness, help."

"What happened?"

"There is a plague in the town under the jurisdiction of Wei Chen, and Wei Chen is helpless, so he can only come to see His Highness."

The middle-aged man's name was Qing Yu, and he was the county magistrate of a nearby town, and in the area under his jurisdiction, only overnight, people fell ill one after another.

The doctor was helpless, and he really had no way, so he came to ask His Highness to see him.

"Don't panic, wait for me to go with you to have a look."

The main camp was not far from the town, and he only brought a personal soldier and a doctor with him.

By the time we arrived in town, it was nearly evening, and the streets were full of sick people and soldiers.

The doctor who was treating the disease hurried to report.

"This illness came suddenly, and the old man really couldn't find the cause."

The county magistrate waved his hand and dismissed the doctor.

"This plague may be contagious, everyone be careful."

Xiao Yuling covered her mouth and nose and took the lead in the crowd, followed closely behind.

He crouched down and scrutinized the man in front of him.
