Chapter Ninety-Three: It's Almost Done
Li Siye walked out of the courtyard gate, took two long breaths, and muttered, "Damn, blood and qi are really not a good thing."
He paced back to the yard, Li Mei'er and the maid Xiaocui were still playing with the rope, and when they saw Li Siye walking in with a blushing face, the little maid showed a rather playful smile.
Li Siye didn't bother to explain to her, just waved his hand and said, "Your lady is drunk, you can go back."
Xiaocui threw down Li Mei'er and walked out, making Mei'er very unhappy, and she didn't even have a good face when she looked at her brother, so Li Siye had to squat down, sat on the felt, and said with a slight shaking: "Come, brother will play with you with the rope."
"Hmph, you don't know how to play at all."
"You can teach me."
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't need to go to bed early, you can continue to play with, and change her maid Xiaocui to come and play with me."
Li Siye: "......"
Playing rope art is a technical job, Li Meier learns very quickly, five little fingers on the rope back and forth, it seems that you can change a lot of interesting and interesting things. Li Siye looked very clumsy, and his thick fingers couldn't hook the rope.
Now it was his turn to change his tricks, but his hands stopped in the air, and his sister looked up in surprise and urged him: "Hurry up and change."
Li Siye sighed, tilted his ears and listened, there was a knock on the door next door, and then the shouted: "Who."
"Me."
Then the small broken steps walked through the courtyard, followed by the creaking sound of the door, and the voice of the who was surprised and slightly happy: "Da Lang is back."
"Yes." The man's voice was slightly low, but it was steady.
"I went to the shop to inquire, and said that I couldn't come back today, why did I come back suddenly?"
"Originally, I could only come back tomorrow afternoon, we rushed for an extra day of night travel, and it happened that the curfew of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chang'an City was stopped, and we came back today to reunite with you. Well, I'm really tired, I'll talk to you tomorrow, and the rest of the family will go home. ”
"Xiao Cui, go get some hot water for Ah Lang."
"Okay."
When Li Mei'er heard these ordinary conversations, she felt bored, yawned and said, "Let's continue, I said that you should stay at their house, so that you can recognize his family when he comes back...... Woo. ”
Li Siye hurriedly went up and covered Mei'er's mouth.
"What are you doing?"
Li Siye let go of his hand and said, "Don't run next door in the future."
Li Mei'er protested: "No, why?"
"It's inconvenient."
……
The brother and sister were talking, but there were four or five people's footsteps outside, standing at the gate of the courtyard and shouting, "Is Li Lang at home?"
Li Siye went out, but it was Liu Ziwu and Fujimu and a few other thousand cows who walked in.
He asked in surprise, "Aren't you on duty in the East Palace?"
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gracious and lets half of the people go back for reunion." Liu Ziwu's mouth was a little unfavorable, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine.
"We're here to tell you to go to Pingkangli, and the brothers are going to be happy and have a few glasses of wine."
Li Siye raised his head and pointed to the bright moon rising higher and higher in the sky, and said, "You just came down from the wine field, what time is it, why are you still drinking?"
Fuji Mu clasped his hands on his chest and said: "Li Lang, this is wrong, the curfew is lifted on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there can be a few such days every year, you should relax and enjoy such a night, isn't it boring to stay at home?"
Li Siye turned around and pointed at his sister and said, "I'm really sorry, I can't go out with you, there are children at home, you can go out by yourself."
Liu Ziwu looked at Li Mei'er, who was sitting on the sheep felt, nodded very understandingly, and said, "Since this is the case, we will go."
Five or six people said goodbye to Li Siye one after another, and he sent them out of the door and watched everyone leave with lanterns.
He looked towards the end of the street, and the night was much more lively than usual, with people carrying lanterns going out, and people seeing off guests, saying drunken bold remarks, mixed with the laughter of women.
The people of Chang'an, who have been confined in the curfew for many years, seem to have become like happy monkeys, enjoying this unique night to the fullest.
……
The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Siye continued to return to the East Palace as his prince's bodyguard, sitting under the eaves of the prince's right inner mansion, looking up at the jingling of wind chimes.
Cao Jue ran over and beckoned to him, saying, "Go to the Jiade Palace, Your Highness has something to look for you."
Li Siye was a little surprised, the prince hadn't summoned him for a long time, as if he had forgotten that there was such a person. Even if Li Siye escorted him into the Daming Palace, the other party turned a blind eye to him.
He had no choice but to follow Cao Jue to the Jiade Palace, and saw Li Ying sitting behind the desk in the hall, and there was also a person sitting in his right corner, wearing a bronze crown and looking peaceful, and it turned out to be Li Heng, the loyal king.
He bowed to the crown prince and crossed his hands: "Li Siye meets the prince and His Royal Highness King Zhong."
Li Ying nodded with a smile, turned her head to Li Heng and said, "This is Li Siye, presumably the third brother has already heard of it."
Li Heng looked at Li Siye intently, and couldn't help nodding and praised: "Sure enough, it is a military general's shelf, and the second brother has such a good talent under his account, so it will be much easier in the future."
Li Ying shook her head: "Third brother, brother, I'm just staying up one step at a time, how can I think about the future."
Li Siye was surprised to see Li Heng in the East Palace, but he was also very happy. Yang Guifei is thick-legged, but Li Heng is an absolute potential stock, and he can have the opportunity to enter Li Heng's field of vision, which will be of great help to the future.
Li Heng smiled and said to Li Siye: "Siye, I have heard that you have the ambition to serve the border pass, this king came to you today to introduce you to General Yao of Anxi, are you willing."
Li Siye was even more surprised, these days he was always looking forward to being able to leave the East Palace, waiting for a holy decree from the emperor, and going to the border pass, but he really didn't expect that it would be the loyal king Li Heng who came to introduce him.
Then he figured it out again, he is just a petty official of the seventh grade, I am afraid that he is not qualified enough to make a special holy decree transfer, as long as the prince nods and agrees, and comes to Yaodu to protect the other side and is willing to accept it, this thing will be done, and the prince can come to personally inquire, this is already his special experience.
Li Siye looked up at the crown prince, he wanted to know his opinion, whether he was really willing to put him in the Western Regions.
The prince did not speak, but nodded slightly, showing an expression of encouragement.
Li Siye had already received the answer, knelt down on one knee and crossed his hands and said: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Zhong for your introduction, Siye is willing to make contributions to the Western Regions."
Li Heng got up from his seat, put his hands behind his back and smiled and said: Since this is the case, I can go back, you wait patiently at home for a few days, waiting for news from this king. ”
"Yes."
Li Heng arched his hand towards the crown prince, turned around and walked out of the Jiade Palace.
