The doorman went down the steps and saluted: "County Lord Wan'an, why don't you see the accompanying palace attendant?" Zhao Li replied: "I want to walk alone today, I don't need others, Your Highness is here?"
Inside the door, Xiao Zong's body was tight, and he immediately returned to the hospital, and the guards were puzzled, and they also returned.
The waiter outside the door responded that His Royal Highness was composing poems in the courtyard, Zhao Liyan could see each other, the little waiter smiled and promised to welcome, Zhao Li entered the back hall, Xiao Zong was stroking the pen and dipping the ink, looking back to see Zhao Li's figure, putting the pen on the shelf, standing and approaching.
The two saluted each other, sat in the court, Xiao Zong said: "A few days ago, I went into Ziyunyuan to look for you, but I saw that you were sick, but now you are better?" Zhao Lili said: "Thank you for Your Highness's care, the concubine is fine, and I have to travel in a few days, passing by the imperial palace, I want to come and see Your Highness." Xiao Zongxin said: "Before Fang, I thought you were worried and worried, and you never ran away, but now it seems that there is no big problem." ”
Beckoning the little guy to come over, he ordered the dining room to prepare food, and wanted to drink a few cups with the county lord at noon, the little guy got the order, and the rumors went back to the dining room, and the back room diner got the order, and the fire was born, and the meal was completed between half an hour, and the little maid came with wine, and the maid served the dishes on the table, and Zhao Lixiao threw the dishes.
In the dining room, Xiao Zong deliberately avoided talking about the imperial family, only for fear of provoking his sorrow, Zhao Li saw that he was silent, and suddenly talked about his past, saying that he played when he was young, Xiao Zong promised one by one, and was happy for a while.
During the joke, Zhao Li mentioned that when he was seven years old, he had traveled with Xiao Zong in the mountains and forests, Xiao Zong patted the jade table, and said that it was a day when the two of them frolicked in the forest.
Zhao Li echoed one by one, saying that he had forgotten how he found his way out of the palace that day, and looked at Xiao Zong, Xiao Zong held his forehead with his hand, and recalled the old scenes.
That day, he got up early in the yard to pick up stones and soil to build a mound, and there was a lot of mud in his hands, and the mother went to the Chonghua Hall to visit the queen, and did not come to the place to share breakfast with herself.
After hanging in the backyard copper pole, welcome the sun, after feeling boring, then out of the emperor to the west and run, the palace attendant wants to protect himself and follow, all the way with his own steps to play, look around, and finally to the end of the imperial city, the body has long been tired, the palace attendant persuaded himself to return, then he wants to go back with his east, roll in the belly, want to do the fortifications, look around left and right, find a broken wall, the wall is overgrown with weeds, just enter the wall to solve the emergency.
Let the palace attendant stand outside, not allowed to enter the wall to watch, the palace attendant led the order to stand with his back, Xiao Zong entered the wall, skimmed the weeds, entered the grass conveniently, after the convenience, he dragged the weeds next to him as a toilet chip, and threw it in one place after use, dressed up his pants, and wanted to go out of the wall to go back, but saw that there was a lot of Qiankun in the deep grass by the wall, so he pulled the grass to see, but saw the high stones in the grass, and then explored, but saw a deep hole appeared in front of him, secretly surprised, and wanted to enter the hole to see.
Secretly felt that he couldn't let others know, so he pretended not to know, went out of the wall and entered the palace with the palace attendants, and secretly noted the shape of the road on the way.
Back to the imperial palace, Wen Concubine was speaking in the courtyard, and the person who spoke was quite familiar, it was Zhao Liye of Bianyang Mansion, Zhao Li was still young at that time, and was not named the county lord by the saint, only seven years old, Xiao Zongxu was two years old, was nine years old, and his mind had been completed.
So the pace quickened, appeared in the courtyard, his mother Concubine Zheng saw it, hooked her hand to beckon her over, Xiao Zong jumped to the side, hugged Concubine Zheng warm, Concubine Zheng was very happy, scraped her tender nose and said: "You are so playful, where are you going to mess around?" Xiao Zong said: "The son is just walking around at will, don't worry about the mother!" Concubine Zheng sneered: "Look at your sweaty head, can you walk around at will?" Zhao Li laughed on the side, Xiao Zong saw it and shouted: "What are you laughing at?" Zhao Li replied: "What's the matter? I'll laugh!"
immediately made a grimace, Xiao Zong jumped up and was about to hit her, Zhao Li turned over and dodged, ran into the backyard, twisted his buttocks, and looked back and made a grimace, Xiao Zong chased after her angrily.
Concubine Zheng was already accustomed to such a scene, and she didn't say anything, just sipped tea and watched it on the side.
The two of them fought for a while, and after they were tired, Xiao Zong ran into the backyard and saw Concubine Zheng missing, and asked about the little guy next to him, and the little guy said that Zheng Niangniang went to the saint, Xiao Zong was quite happy, and turned around to see Zhao Li also running over, questioning why, Xiao Zong ordered the little guy to retreat, and the little guy walked according to the order and retreated to the entrance of the court.
Xiao Zong leaned close to Zhao Li's ear and said, "I just found a very interesting place, you call me a good brother three times, I'll take you to see what?" Zhao Li said angrily: "Bah, bah, you want to lie to me, why do you want to call your brother, don't call it, don't call it!"
was about to leave, but Xiao Zong pulled his shirt and said, "That's it, you go with me to take a look, if it's true, call me brother three times, okay?"
Zhao Li turned around and said happily: "That's about the same, take me quickly, your mother should come back in a while." ”
The two of them went out of the house, and the little maid was about to accompany him, Xiao Zong said: "Sister Li and I are going to the concubine, the distance is not far, you don't have to follow, go back quickly." ”
The little guy was not very relieved, and bowed his head and said: "Zheng Niangniang instructed the villain to follow him closely, and the villain did not dare to disobey, and hope..."
Before the words were finished, he saw Xiao Zong angrily said: "You dog slave, I am the fourth prince today, do you only listen to the words of the concubine? believe it or not, I cut off your head!"
On weekdays, Xiao Zong only cares about having fun, and treats these subordinates like friends, often funny, and the subordinates are also quite happy, but they don't know that Xiao Zong's face is like this today, so frightened that the little guy knelt down and said in a panic: "The villain doesn't dare! The villain doesn't dare! The fourth highness just goes, and the villain doesn't accompany him." ”
Xiao Zong didn't expect to say such words, and Zhao Li beside him was also shocked, his eyes turned down, and he didn't dare to look at it.
The matter has come to this point, and it is inconvenient to say more, Xiao Zong turned around and walked away, leaving the little servant to kneel on the ground.
On the way, Xiao Zong recounted that he learned about the details of the secret hole in the wall, but Zhao Li didn't dare to talk, Xiao Zong saw that he was silent, suddenly pinched his face, and laughed while running and learned to make a grimace like Zhao Li, Zhao Li was angry for a while, and chased after him to fight with him.
The two of them had fun for a while, and they actually arrived at the wall at the end of the west, after breaking the wall, there were patches of weeds, Xiao Zong wanted to enter, but Zhao Li thought twice, Xiao Zong smiled and said: "What? Sister Li is afraid?" Zhao Li said angrily: "Whoever is afraid, I will come." ”
After entering the wall, Xiao Zong pushed away the weeds and walked in, Zhao Li followed closely behind, pulling his shirt behind, looking left and right, with fear on his face.
Xiao Zong happily went, and when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he didn't show his vision and looked at Zhao Li, Zhao Li fixed his eyes, and sure enough, a big hole appeared in front of him, Xiao Zong smiled: "Now you should call my brother." ”
Zhao Li rolled his eyes and said: "What kind of fun place is this, isn't it just a stone cave?" Xiao Zong argued: "This Nuo Grand Palace has such an ordinary wonder, how can it not be a very interesting place?"
Zhao Li turned his head and refused, and then turned back and said: "You said that this is extremely fun, then do you dare to take me in to have a look? If there are no new things in it, how can it be called fun?"
Xiao Zong couldn't help her, and secretly vowed to make her call her brother willingly, and said, "Why don't you dare, I already have a plan to bring you here." ”
After that, he took Zhao Li's little hand, and the two entered the cave together, the cave was dark, the road ahead was confused, Xiao Zong was originally angry, but the root of it could be investigated, he was a weak prince, and he was a little afraid when he got inside, his hand sleeves trembled slightly, Zhao Li felt that his hands trembled, and teased: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Zong heard this ridicule and said, "What am I afraid of, but you have to be careful, don't be scared." ”
The two of them teased each other, the cave was deep and deep, the sound of dripping water through the stone was endless, the mud ground was even the water beach, the two fell down several times, their clothes were full of sludge, but they couldn't take care of a lot, they only followed the road, about a while, and the road in front of them changed from flickering to bright to gradually clear.
Finally, the white light is dazzling, the pretty eyes are hard to open, out of the hole, but see a mountain forest in front of you, the air is refreshing, insects and birds are singing, and a natural scenery is sprinkled between heaven and earth.
Like the peach blossom paradise, the two of them rushed to the forest, running left and right, childish and hearty, but not tired.
Playing like this for a long time, the sky has darkened, the two suddenly feel hungry in their stomachs, want to eat some food, and return to the cave, the two people in the cave pull each other, follow the way they came, a moment of work, back to the mouth of the first come, out of the hole but see the sky is dark, pull the grass out of the wall, but see the palace screams again and again, listen carefully, it seems to be calling His Royal Highness.
Zhao Li was the first to react, and said to Xiao Zong: "It must be Zheng Niangniang who sent someone to look for you." ”
Xiao Zong also felt that this was the case, the two of them rushed back, on the way Xiao Zong suddenly stopped and thought, Zhao Li was suspicious, Xiao Zong said: "If the mother asks me where the two of us went, how should I answer?" Zhao Li said: "Answer truthfully." Xiao Zong said again: "If others know about this secret cave, the entrance of the cave will be sealed, and the two of us will not be able to enter and play in the cave in the future." ”
Zhao Li thought about it carefully and felt that it was inappropriate, the two thought of a set of rhetoric, and then went to the road, on the way was felt by the imperial army, ran over to cut the words, Xiao Zong only said nothing, the imperial army asked where he went, Xiao Zong should not, the imperial army had to bring it into the Zhengyang Palace.
Both of them were shocked, they didn't know that this matter actually involved the saint, Emperor Liang stayed in the imperial study, the concubine was pacing back and forth, extremely uneasy, the imperial attendant knocked on the door and entered, bringing the two to Emperor Liang, and the concubine ran over to hug Xiao Zong into her arms.
Emperor Liang was furious on the side, and asked Zhao Lidao: "Where did you two go, let me find it easily." Zhao Li panicked: "Your Majesty, I went to the west wall with the Fourth Highness to play, and after being tired, I hid in the broken wall and squinted and fell asleep." ”
Emperor Liang was suddenly startled, called the imperial attendant outside the door, and the imperial attendant entered the room, and Emperor Liang asked, "Is there any damage to the west wall?"
The imperial attendant shook his head and didn't know, Emperor Liang ordered him to investigate, repaired it along with it, and the imperial attendant received the order.
After all, the two did not expose the truth, and after the imperial attendant found the damaged part of the west wall, he ordered the palace craftsman to repair the wall, and the wall was repaired overnight, and everything was as good as ever.
But they didn't realize what was going on inside the wall, and even so, the two of them wouldn't be able to go out of the palace to play in the future.
Emperor Liang was angry and punished Xiao Zong for thinking about the cold palace, the cold palace was uninhabited all the year round, the damp was dark and damp and cold, only two palace attendants were sent to take care of him, he was secluded for three days, and returned to the house after three days.
