Chapter 4 The bottom line of life

"Father-in-law Yan, I will ask the servants to clean up a room, you can rest for a while and wait for us to enter Beijing together, what do you think?" Li Yao greeted with sincerity on his face.

Gonggong Yan didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and hurriedly answered: "King Changning is polite!" When the will is announced, the old slave will go back to the palace first, and it is inconvenient to wait for you. ”

After speaking, Gonggong Yan bowed his hand, said goodbye to Li Yao, turned around and walked out of the hall, as if someone was chasing behind him, and staying for a second longer would make him exposed.

"Then it won't be far away, Father-in-law Yan, you go slowly, let's see you in the capital." Li Yao looked at the people who were leaving in a hurry, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

In the next second, the comfort in my heart was beyond words, although I didn't know what was waiting for me in the capital, since I had to go, at least I had to walk happily. If you travel with this group of people in the capital, can you be happy? There are many rules, people's hearts are mixed, hiss, and they are not free to think about it.

Li Yao turned around, ready to comfort Li Zhiyou, who had a sad face.

Zhi You looked at her brother who wanted to comfort her, and opened her mouth first.

"Brother, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten the former capital, right?" Although Li Zhiyou was still young at that time, the capital has always been a hazy shadow in her heart. Due to his young age, the memory was vague and chillingly real.

"Don't worry, with my brother here, my sister doesn't need to worry." Li Yao had a black line, and secretly complained in his heart, except for entering Beijing, do you want me to resist the decree? Wouldn't that be faster than the end of the game, this little king just wants to make a salted fish lying flat, and the matter of turning over has nothing to do with this little prince.

"We can take advantage of Grandpa Yan and them to get away from here quickly." Li Zhiyou's beautiful eyes were slightly red, and a little tear was rolling in her eyes.

"The whole world belongs to the emperor, where can we escape?" Li Yao exhaled the turbidity in his chest slightly.

Seeing Zhi's happy and anxious crying, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, although I don't know what happened before, but looking at my sister's painful appearance, I guess something big happened at that time, but I don't know what it has to do with it.

Li Yao pinched his thigh fiercely, mourning more than dying. At this time, how could he tell such a bastard truth and make his sister's heart full of despair?

"Zhiyou, don't worry, the Queen Mother's birthday, nothing will be allowed to happen, think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?" Li Yao's eyes looked at Zhiyou firmly, and his feelings of guilt were exaggerated, he couldn't see a girl sad the most, let alone Li Zhiyou, who was still so dependent on him.

Li Yao, Li Yao, even if the capital is a land of tigers and wolves, you must protect your sister, this is the most primitive and important thing as a man.

Li Zhiyou's emotions slowly changed from resistance at the beginning, to helplessness later, and finally she was able to accept the matter of entering Beijing.

While the brothers and sisters were talking, jade, glass and other maids had already packed up and came to the main hall.

"Zhiyou, my brother assures you that we will all leave the capital safely. If my words don't count, let the Bodhisattva turn me into a puppy, the kind of puppy that you can punish and scream. Li Yao held his hands and stuck out his tongue, following the example of a puppy.

Li Zhiyou was amused by Li Yao's dog-like appearance and smiled reluctantly, walked to Diewu's side and silently checked her luggage.

The matter of entering Beijing came very suddenly, and it was already noon when he spoke.

Li Yao instructed Uncle Liang to do something, selected a few domestic servants, and set off in the afternoon.

Request to go now! It is impossible to resist the decree, but there is no provision for the speed of the road in the holy decree, and you can still make your own decisions on how to go on the road after you have set off, as long as you arrive before the birthday of the queen mother, it is considered to be complied with.

Then let this trip to the capital become an ornamental tour.

Have fun in time, live in the moment, and can't treat yourself badly, this is Li Yao's bottom line as a man.

Although comforting Li Zhiyou, Li Yao was not sure whether this trip was really as smooth as he imagined. What happened in that palace in the capital before? Although I don't know very well, I am sure that it should be very unpleasant.

In the afternoon when the heat wave was blowing, the sky was full of dark clouds and thunder. One second the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, but the next second it was a storm, lightning and thunder, and the heavy rain was pouring down, and it couldn't stop for a while.

On a rainy day, stay in the sky, and leave me in the sky?

Stay!

Naturally, stay.

The next day, the humid air with a cool breeze, without the scorching heat of summer, like the breath of spring, is simply pleasant. Stopping and stopping all the way, Li Yao took Li Zhiyou to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the roadside, the street market, and the countryside and village. Li Zhiyou was so happy that she looked like a bird out of a cage, walking and chatting around her brother, and found her long-lost happiness.

Unconsciously, I can see the three big characters of "Chao'anmen" from afar. Li Zhiyou looked at the three big characters in the distance in a daze, her delicate body shivered, and she involuntarily hid behind Li Yao.

Li Yao clenched his sister's hand and comforted him: "Zhiyou, no matter what happened before, now that our brother and sister live and die together, don't worry, I will definitely protect you, believe me." ”

The birthday of the Empress Dowager is imminent, and the control of the city gate is more stringent, but it does not affect the road back to Beijing for the idle princes from all over the country.

Li Yao took out his waist card, and under the doubtful eyes of the guards, he successfully entered the capital.

The bustling atmosphere of the capital is blowing in the face.

What catches your eye is a prosperous and lively bazaar, dotted with a variety of high-end or flowery high-end sedan chairs, and the front and back are surrounded by guards.

If it is really at the feet of the Son of Heaven, pulling a random one on the street is either a blessing or a precious.

Li Zhi slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the scene on the street gradually overlapped with the blurred picture in her memory. The capital has always been a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a place that makes people yearn for and sigh.

The carriage of Li Yao and his entourage was plain and unremarkable, without embellishment and decoration, so plain that others didn't bother to take a look. The carriage was in the northwest direction, a little far from Fengyi Palace, and slowly stopped at the gate of Changle Palace.

The guards at the palace gate glanced lazily at the inconspicuous carriage, and did not intend to greet it, but nodded slightly to indicate that they had seen it.

Li Yao jumped down from the carriage and looked at the courtyard and guards of Changle Palace. Although this Changle Palace is located in the capital, it does not have the luxury and grandeur of imagination, and it is not even as good as his own Yaoyun Palace, but the guards at the door are often seen and acted.

After the servant reported and confirmed, Li Yao and his party successfully moved into Changle Palace.

Changle Palace, in fact, is a simple residence for idle princes from other places who have no residence in the capital and occasionally return to Beijing.

The guards at the gate of the palace know very well that these princes who occasionally return to Beijing are basically people who have lost their power, and they have been exiled from Beijing for various reasons, so they are people who have no power and no wealth in the capital. Otherwise, who would have lived in such a remote palace?

The servants were busy sorting their luggage, and Li Yao kept observing around the courtyard and room, familiar with the old and even dilapidated palace in front of him, and suddenly could understand the eyes of the guards at the palace gate.

The corners of Li Yao's mouth were slightly raised, his hands were crossed in front of his chest, his expression was relaxed and he touched his resolute chin, and then snapped his fingers and said to himself: "This prince is very satisfied." ”

The busy servant next to him suddenly paused, looked at his little prince with a puzzled face, and really wanted to ask what satisfied his little prince was? ?

Li Yao was surrounded by the eyes of the servants, coughed twice in embarrassment, raised his big hand and said with a slight straight face: "Everyone is busy with their own business, I just said it casually." ”

But I muttered in my heart: low-key behavior is the bottom line of my life.
