"Ayi agrees, naturally it is excellent." Chu Lingshen smiled and said, "Then let's take a rest, and this king will take you out." ”

Saying this, the two hurriedly changed into light clothes and went out of the palace together. Because both of them traveled in plain clothes, they walked outside the palace, but they didn't let others find out.

It's just that he was a little nervous, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of Chu Lingshen beside him, and asked, "Your Highness, let's travel like this, aren't we afraid of being discovered?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Chu Lingshen smiled lightly, with some gentle meaning in his eyes, "Presumably, many ordinary people in this capital would never have expected that His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his queen would leave the palace in such a grand manner, without any cover-up." ”

Saying that, Chu Lingshen suddenly thought of something, with a thick smile on his face, and said to He Suoyi jokingly: "If Ayi is afraid of being discovered by others, simply don't call my Highness again." ”

"What's that calling you?" He Suoyi asked suspiciously.

"Naturally, it's Gongzi Chu." Chu Lingshen teased and said, "Naturally, if Ayi is willing, it is not impossible to call me Ling Shen." ”

He Suoyi naturally wouldn't call Chu Lingshen "Ling Shen", but he was made a big red face by his ridiculous tone. After pondering for a moment, He Suoyi called out a little tangled: "Young Master Chu." ”

"Well, I'm here." Chu Lingshen responded jokingly. Listening to Chu Lingshen's joking tone, the tension that kept churning in He Suoyi's heart miraculously subsided a lot, and he simply put his mind at ease and played with peace of mind.

On the way to Chu State, He Suoyi felt sad in his heart, and the time was urgent, so he didn't even take a good look at the capital. Now that I'm taking this opportunity, I've taken a good look at it.

The capital of Chu State, compared with the Great Zhou, is the same prosperous, but it also has a unique flavor. The vendors selling along the way, the small shops with the aroma of food in the distance, and the children playing on the street made He Suoyi feel a little intimate, and the smile on his face never faded.

Chu Lingshen on the side saw that He Suoyi seemed to be having fun, and his heart was also a little warm: "How does Ayi feel about the scenery in Beijing?" ”

"Excellent." He Suoyi was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the capital of Chu at this time, his eyes were still firmly fixed on the streets and alleys, and he said to Chu Lingshen without looking back: "It is really no different from what is described in the book, and it is even more interesting than the book." ”

"If you like it, it's fine." Chu Lingshen smiled undiminished on his face and said gently. The two wandered aimlessly, occasionally saying a few words, but there was also a different kind of cordiality.

Suddenly, walking to the top of a small stall, He Suoyi's footsteps actually stopped, turned around and asked Chu Lingshen: "Palace...... Young Master Chu, what is this? ”

Hearing He Suoyi's name for himself, Chu Lingshen's smile couldn't help but become a little thicker, he took a few steps forward, looked at the object He Suoyi was referring to, turned around again, and explained to him: "This is a specialty of our Chu country, and it is natural that Ayi has never seen it." It's called persimmons. ”

"Persimmons?" He Suoyi looked at Chu Lingshen suspiciously, obviously not understanding what he meant, "What is this?" ”

As he spoke, He Suoyi turned his head again and looked at the things densely placed on the stall. This looks like eating, small in size, similar in shape to ordinary baked cakes, but with an orange-yellow color, and a light layer of hoarfrost on it, it looks very delicate.

"Persimmons are made from persimmons." Seeing He Suoyi's curious eyes, Chu Lingshen only felt that it was fun, and explained to her with a smile: "Persimmon is a specialty of Chu State, orange in color and sweet in taste, but it is not easy to preserve. When the persimmons are ripe in autumn, the growers will pick the persimmons, dry them and then flatten them to form the shape of persimmons and sell them on the street. ”

"This persimmon is very sweet, do you want to taste it?" The smile on Chu Lingshen's face deepened, "The Great Zhou is not like the climate here in the Chu State, and persimmons can't grow." ”

At this time, the hawker also noticed that the two men were standing next to their stalls and did not leave. The peddler hurriedly looked at the two of them, and saw that although their clothes were simple, the materials were all fine silk and satin, and they must be either rich or expensive.

The peddler couldn't help but be active, looked at the two of them, and greeted warmly: "The guest officer wants some persimmons?" This persimmon is very sweet, and other houses don't have the flavor of my here. ”

Under the attack between the two sides, He Suoyi couldn't help but move proudly, smiled lightly, and simply nodded in agreement: "Since this is the case, please ask you to have two catties of persimmons." ”

"Okay!" When the business came to the door, the hawker was naturally happy, his hands and feet were neat, and he quickly weighed two catties of persimmons and handed them to the two of them. After paying, the two of them carried the two catties of persimmons and continued to walk forward.

Walking and walking, He Suoyi couldn't help but be a little impatient, and his heart was looking at what persimmons tasted like, so he simply took one and tasted it.

- The palate is soft and sweet. Although it is sweet, it is not greasy because of the aroma of a little pulp.

He Suoyi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he was not satisfied after eating one, so he ate two or three more before he stopped. Chu Lingshen on the side saw He Suyi's movements like a little hamster, and there was a little imperceptible tenderness in his eyes: "Ayi likes to eat here?" ”

Hearing Chu Lingshen's question, He Suoyi hurriedly broke free from the persimmon, looked at him and smiled: "This persimmon is sweet but not greasy, and has the fragrance of pulp, it is indeed delicious." When the concubine was in the Great Zhou, she had never eaten this. ”

"That ......" Looking at the gentle face of the woman in front of him, Chu Lingshen endured it desperately, but after all, he couldn't help it, so he simply gritted his teeth, looked at him and asked, "Ayi might as well be my queen with peace of mind." This king will definitely take you to browse the most beautiful customs and customs of Chu country, okay? ”

He Suoyi came to Chu to make peace with his relatives, not out of willingness, Chu Lingshen could naturally see this. Since that day's wedding, Chu Lingshen has been holding back these words in his heart, and he couldn't help it until today, so he said it.

As soon as these words came out, He Suoyi was stunned for a moment, and then became faintly silent. Chu Lingshen's eyebrows were gentle and vivid, which made her feel a little palpitating for no reason. Do you stay in the state of Chu......

Before He Suoyi could come up with a reason, Chu Lingshen shook his head as if self-deprecating, and smiled casually: "Ayi don't have to be nervous, this is just a joke that this king is playing with you." There's a lot of fun ahead, so let's go a little further. ”

Hearing Chu Lingshen say this, He Suoyi breathed a sigh of relief, his face was obviously relaxed, and the two continued to walk forward.

This walk is to walk to the beginning of the lanterns, and the stars are hanging all over the night sky. He Suoyi's face couldn't help but show a little tiredness.

This time out of the palace, although it was really fun and tight, but after an afternoon of shopping, He Suoyi was a little tired after all. Chu Ling, who was on the side, observed the words and looks, and naturally saw the tiredness on her face, and asked intimately: "Ayi is tired?" Why don't we go back to the palace first. ”

"It's okay, it's okay to go shopping again." finally got the opportunity to get out of the palace, He Suoyi was a little reluctant, and his eyes were still glued to the lights on the street.

Seeing He Suoyi's somewhat childish behavior, Chu Lingshen couldn't help laughing, and only said: "If you have time in the future, this king will take you out of the palace to play." It's too late today, so let's go back to the palace first. ”

After getting Chu Lingshen's assurance, He Suoyi put his mind at ease, although he was a little reluctant, but it was more about the expectations after that. Leaving the palace today really opened her eyes, and the boredom she held back in the palace was also swept away.

The intrigue of the concubines in the palace of Chu Wang, He Suoyi really didn't want to get involved, but he was in it, and he was inevitably involved. This trip out of the palace can be regarded as "stealing half a day's leisure".

Thinking like this, although he was still a little reluctant, He Suoyi also turned his head, looked at Chu Lingshen's direction and said with a smile: "Your Highness has agreed." In the future, I will also take my concubines out of the palace to play. ”

"Naturally." Chu Lingshen smiled again and responded. The two of them walked slowly along the street lights. Walking slowly all the way, he finally returned to the palace of the king of Chu. Chu Lingshen had been sending He Suoyi to Fengyi Palace, and then he stopped.

"In front of you is Fengyi Palace." Chu Lingshen paused and said with a smile, "This king won't go in, Ayi will have a good dream tonight." ”

"Your Highness too." He responded, and turned around briskly and returned to Fengyi Palace. Chu Lingshen didn't retract his eyes until he saw the beautiful figure disappear at the gate of the palace, and turned to look in the direction of Chaoyang Palace.

Suddenly, Chu Lingshen paused, and his pupils shrank imperceptibly. Then, Chu Lingshen turned around quickly, looked at a tree behind him, and said in a cold voice: "What person?" ”

No one answered. Only the shade of the trees in the moonlight rustled in the breeze.

Is there no one? Chu Lingshen took a closer look, and indeed couldn't find anyone's trace, so he withdrew his eyes, but he still turned around and left with some doubts.

Fang Cai didn't know if it was his own illusion, as soon as he entered the palace, Chu Lingshen felt that he seemed to have a pair of eyes, staring closely at himself and He Suoyi's direction. It's just that Chu Ling was afraid that he would be frightened, so he only tested it after watching her leave with his own eyes.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be empty. "Could it be that this king is a little tired these days and has hallucinations?" Chu Lingshen couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

Subsequently, Chu Lingshen investigated carefully, and indeed found no trace of anyone, so he was a little puzzled, and had no choice but to return to Chaoyang Palace.

What Chu Lingshen didn't know was that not long after he left, under the shadow of the tree that he thought was empty, a figure actually appeared.
