Chapter 21: Thoughts of Youth
"Stop." The bad children were just about to run, when they heard Xiao Su Yunting say unhurriedly, "Who allowed you to run?" ”
"What else do you want to do?"
"Grab the money."
Several children were stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Is there something wrong with your brain?" If you dare to rob us of our money, we will go to your mother to sue! ”
"I'm talking about you." Xiao Su Yunting didn't panic at all, "You robbed me of my money and still want to leave?" ”
"You come less! These melon seeds were given to us by yourself! ”
Xiao Su Yunting took out a slingshot, aimed at the one who took the lead, and said, "Why did I give you golden melon seeds for no reason?" Who will believe it! ”
"That's the money you asked us for candy!"
"I'm just going to take it out and see, who said it was for you? Besides, how can these few pieces of candy be worth so much money? Are you stupid or am I stupid? Xiao Su Yunting laughed, "Pay back the money quickly, otherwise I will sue the government!" If you rob me of so many golden melon seeds, you will definitely be caught in prison! ”
"You!"
Several of the children were furious on the spot and rushed up to hit her.
After only listening to a few "whoosh" sounds, Su Yunting didn't miss a shot, and the group of children who hit him screamed and ran away with their heads in their hands.
"Su Yunting, you wait for me!"
Xiao Su Yunting was too lazy to catch up, but while picking up the golden melon seeds on the ground, he used the tone of a little adult to educate Xiao Lixiao.
"When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you have to learn to protect yourself, do you know? Don't be polite to them, the more scared you are, the more they kick their noses in the face. ”
Xiao Lixiao also helped pick it up, and nodded seriously: "Hmm!" ”
"Go home, my mother said, the Yan Gu in your body is very domineering, she has already written to her master, her master will be there in a few days, and she will be able to help you get rid of the Yan Gu when the time comes!"
Xiao Su Yunting took Xiao Lixiao's hand, and the two of them walked on the streets of the bustling capital, laughing and playing.
At that time, Xiao Lixiao thought that he could always be with her like this for the rest of his life.
However, it was only one of the few happy moments of his life.
Since he came to the capital, Princess Dingbei has been looking for opportunities to come to the capital to see him, especially when she sent so many letters and there was no reply, she always felt that something had happened to him, and she was restless all day long.
But the old emperor always used the reason that the northern border had not yet been settled, so that they and his wife could stay on the frontier with peace of mind.
This year, the war in the northern border was a complete victory, and the good news was repeated, and it coincided with Chinese New Year's Eve, and Princess Dingbei begged bitterly, saying that she would enter Beijing alone, just want to see her son, and return after only seven days.
The old emperor thought about it again and again, but he really couldn't find a reason to refuse her, so he had to agree to her request.
There is chaos in the palace now, and it has been more than half a month since Xiao Lixiao disappeared, but there has been no news from him.
They didn't dare to look for it with too much fanfare, so as not to let the news leak be known to Princess Dingbei, so they just showed the portraits of Xiao Lixiao to various officials and asked them to find them privately.
Seeing that Princess Dingbei was about to enter Beijing, and the old emperor was even about to find a fake one to hold for a while, Zhang Baixiang entered the palace to report, saying that he had found traces of Xiao Lixiao.
That night, Xiao Lixiao was taken back to the palace by a group of soldiers.
He didn't care about going back to that kind of life again, he only knew that he might never see that girl living like the sun again in this life.
Before leaving, he quietly hid a candy.
That's her favorite sugar.
Time flies, five years have passed in a flash.
In the past five years, no one dared to bully Lixiao, because he could always smile while getting back what he had lost.
Those kings and nobles avoided it.
Yan Gu would still have attacks occasionally, but Li Xiao found that as long as he sucked a woman's blood, he wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
Although it made him feel like a monster.
After the old emperor found out about this, instead of being afraid, he was very happy, and he arranged some beauties to serve Lixiao every once in a while, hoping that Lixiao would sink into the gentle country and hollow out his body.
Li Xiao didn't care, he just hoped to see Su Yunting again, just one glance.
Although this chance is extremely slim, he firmly believes that as long as he is alive, he will definitely see her again.
It's just that he didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.
In a few days, it will be the birthday banquet of the second prince Qin Yue, and it will also be his coming-of-age banquet, which will be more grand than in previous years.
Lixiao sat crookedly on the step, a beauty on the left was carefully feeding him grapes, and the maid on the right was beating his legs, so comfortable.
After listening to the palace maid's report, he said lazily: "I know, it's just a birthday banquet, I don't want to go, let's retreat." ”
"Yes." The palace maid bowed tremblingly, and was not relieved until she walked out of the room.
"It's scary, but it's okay." She muttered softly.
"You're in luck." There was a little palace maid on the side and said, "Last time, a palace maid sister went in to report, but I don't know where I angered the prince, so I never came out alive!" ”
"Is it so scary?"
"Yes! I was on an errand in the outer courtyard when I heard a terrible scream. The little palace maid said with palpitations, "That cry is really scary!" ”
"And then?"
Then I saw some of the eunuchs go in and carry the sister out wrapped in a white cloth. Don't you see, it's all blood! ”
"Yes...... The prince is so cruel, why doesn't the emperor care? ”
"The emperor said, that's all the reason why we don't serve well. Hey, I can only ask for more blessings, what else can we do with a cheap life like us? ”
"It would be nice if we could take the same money and power. Look at the famous lady in the capital, what is it called...... Su Yunting, she is a typical example! ”
"What's wrong with her?"
"Her father is not the richest man in the capital, but because they are a family of businessmen, they are still inferior in the end. I don't know how Master Su got on the side of the second prince's mother, in short, he stuffed a lot of money, and he hoped to let his daughter come to a palace banquet. ”
"The queen agreed?"
"Of course! Don't you want the silver you gave for free? ”
"What did you say?!" Li Xiao didn't make a sound and startled the two palace maids.
They hurriedly knelt down, trembling all over: "Slave maid...... The slave didn't say anything! ”
Li Xiao grabbed the palace maid with an excited face and asked, "You mean, Su Yunting is also going to participate in this birthday banquet?" ”
"Yes......"
"You go back and report that this birthday banquet will definitely go to this world!"
Saying that, Li Xiao also rewarded each of the two palace maids with a handful of golden melon seeds, and then happily trotted to the house.
He pulled out a piece of brown paper from under his pillow for candy.
That year's candy still melted, and only this piece of paper remained.
But that's okay, he can make his own candy!
He must give her her favorite candy made by himself at the birthday party!
