The princess ran away again

Pingchen County.

On the bustling street, a young man and woman were walking side by side.Compared to the man's curiosity about everything around him, the woman's calm face showed no emotion, and no matter which stall her gaze fell on, she quickly moved away.As high as the snow in Tianshan Mountain, it is inaccessible.The two were exactly Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao who had dressed up in disguise.The princess likes to say that men's clothing is cheap, and Chu Zhao has nothing to say, but he insists on changing himself into the long skirt that constricts his hands and feet and makes it difficult to move. He really doesn't understand the princess's mind.

"I want this!" Qingyi was not around, so Ning Yuyao naturally treated the only person around her as a girl.The proud daughter of heaven in the deep palace, what jade and jewelry have you never seen?However, being fascinated by the little clay figurine, he picked up a petite and cute one that he couldn't put it down, gave Chu Zhao a sideways look, and motioned her to pay the bill.

Chu Zhao smiled helplessly, took out a few copper plates and handed them to the peddler, took Ning Yuyao's hand and walked forward.Suddenly there was a murmur from behind: "What kind of world is this? It's useless for an old man to ask someone else's girl to pay the bill!" The voice was not too low, and there were other common people beside the clay figurine stall, and they also followed suit. The look in Ning Yuyao's eyes was full of contempt. "It's just that this kid is as short as a southerner, and it's up to the girls! But the thin skin and tender flesh are probably from the southerner, right? Our northern men are not as hopeless as the southerners!"

Feeling the tightness on his wrist, Chu Zhao looked down and saw that Ning Yuyao's hand was clinging to his wrist, her face turned red and white at times, probably because she was annoyed by these words.She suppressed her smile, turned her eyes to stare at Ning Yuyao's porcelain-white side face, and whispered in a very seductive tone: "How about we change?"

"For what?" Ning Yuyao gave Chu Zhao a sideways glance, paused, and continued, "Let's find a place to rest first."

Chu Zhao rubbed his chin, pretending to be thinking about Ning Yuyao's words, her face was extremely serious, and even the tip of her brows were knit into a ball.The two walked slowly down the long street, she suddenly raised the various gadgets in her left hand, and said: "I didn't bring much money when I went out, so I can only find a very simple inn. Otherwise, after a while, we will be able to take the sky as the seat and the ground as the banquet. Of course, it is also okay for you to go back at that time."

Ning Yuyao was startled when she heard the words, and turned her head to stare at Chu Zhao with disbelief.She has never been troubled by the matter of money. In her heart, everything is inexhaustible.When she left the palace, she brought a lot of things with her, but she forgot that those things were all on Qingyi's body, and at this time she was penniless, so she really could only live on the little money that Chu Zhao had.After staring at Chu Zhao for a while, she gave up struggling and said dejectedly, "You decide."

If it is short, no one can short Princess Zhaoyang, Chu Zhao's words were full of jokes, and he thought Ning Yuyao would play a little temper, but he did not expect to accept his fate so soon.The inaudible sigh quickly dissipated in the wind. From a distance, Chu Zhao saw a shop called "Ping Le Tang". After thinking for a while, he raised his foot and walked there .

When Chu Zhao got closer, he realized that there were a lot of ragged, yellow and thin people crowded in front of Pingle Hall, and some of them couldn't get to the front, and simply lay on the ground and groaned in pain.Every once in a while, someone came out of the crowd, holding a bunch of medicinal materials and pastries in their hands, with smiles on their skinny faces.How is this going?Chu Zhao frowned, grabbed an old man passing by, and asked, "What happened in front of Pingle Hall? Why are there so many people?"

The old man stuck out his cane, sighed and said: "Today is the day when the eldest lady of the Zhao family gives alms, and all these beggars and refugees are flocking here."

"Who is Miss Zhao Family?" Ning Yuyao took a step forward, wondering.

The old man glanced at her, and said with surprise: "Are you foreigners? You don't even know the eldest lady of the Zhao family? The Zhao family is the richest man in our Pingchen County, and their shops are everywhere on the long street. Letang is one of them. The eldest lady of the Zhao family is a kind-hearted person, and she often gives alms to beggars and refugees. But recently, people from Ping'an County have been flocking here, and I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it." After finishing speaking, He shook his head and turned to leave.

Ning Yuyao whispered: "What happened in Ping'an County? Why are there so many refugees?"

Chu Zhao thought for a while, her frown loosened and tightened, she let out a long sigh of relief, and replied, "Go and have a look." Beggars and refugees were mixed together, and Chu Zhao didn't dare to let Ning Yuyao get involved. Among them, I told her to wait outside, when suddenly there was a commotion inside, accompanied by the sound of bumping, a man shouting angrily and a woman screaming in horror.Chu Zhao protected Ning Yuyao and took a few steps back before frowning to look at the noisy center.It turned out that several refugees fought together and knocked over a lot of things.The servants from Pingletang came out to stop them, but it made the scene more and more chaotic.After a while, a young woman in green was surrounded by people and walked out. Some refugees tried to catch up, but they were pushed away by the attendants beside her.

Ping Letang has gone through this trouble, and the charity is over.Even if the remaining refugees and beggars were aggrieved, they could only grab a handful of spilled cakes from the ground, pocket them in their arms and leave.The people in Pingle Hall were cleaning up the mess, and when they looked up, they saw a pair of Bi people standing not far away watching, and they couldn't help feeling a little bit puzzled.

Chu Zhao restrained his emotions, took a step forward, and whispered a few words into the ear of the doctor in Pingle Hall. Seeing the doctor nod repeatedly, he grabbed some medicines and came out in a short while.

Ning Yuyao looked at the medicine in Chu Zhao's hand and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "It's okay." After a pause, he raised his head and asked the doctor in Pingle Hall, "Are all those beggars from Pingchen County?"

When the doctor heard this, a sad look appeared on his face, one was because of those people's pity, and the other was because he felt sorry for his young lady. "You don't know, right? Some time ago, the Yellow River broke its embankment and flooded Ping'an County. Even if the flood receded, many people are still homeless and rushing towards the surrounding counties. Poor!"

Ning Yuyao, who has been in the deep palace, rarely hears of such things, even if there is a disaster, she also believes that her father can solve it. When this is really facing the poor refugee and beggar, the impact is not weak.Chu Zhao, on the other hand, was more or less prepared. In Chang'an City, there were also refugee alleys, where many homeless people lived.Furthermore, it seems that my elder brother mentioned that the person who went to manage the flood in Ping'an County was Shouwang Ninglian, right?

After leaving Pingle Hall, Ning Yuyao frowned and said after finding the inn where she stayed, "We have to go to Ping'an County."

Chu Zhao already had such a plan in his heart. Hearing what Ning Yuyao said, he still couldn't help but tease: "You also have the same thoughts? Do you want to be a man? Otherwise, you can compete for that position."

"You are so presumptuous!" Ning Yuyao frowned, and gave Chu Zhao a look.If someone with a heart hears it, impeachment will not kill her!After a pause, Ning Yuyao said, "I think you are the most regretful, right? Or else you--" She suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and Ning Yuyao looked into Chu Zhao's shining eyes, and immediately said "a veritable son-in-law" "I swallowed it back.

Although the clean wing rooms are not as luxurious as the Baiyu Building in Beijing, they are still simple and well-organized.It was impossible for Chu Zhao to let Ning Yuyao stay alone in a room, shaking the purse in his hand, the princess who was originally unwilling finally gave in.When she arrived at the house, Chu Zhao immediately ordered Xiao Er to bring hot water and a set of men's clothes, while she got some medicinal materials and planned to borrow a stove to decoct the medicine in the yard.

The winding screen covers the large wooden barrel, and the dense water vapor rises upwards, outlining a small fairyland on earth.

"What are you still doing in the house? Do you want to wait for the princess to take a bath?"

Chu Zhao held his chin, blinked and said, "It's okay, I just hope the princess doesn't dislike my clumsy minister." After saying that, he pretended to get up.

A figure could be seen on the screen. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ning Yuyao immediately sank her body into the water, her face flushed, and she exclaimed, "Go out."

Chu Zhao pursed his lips and felt a little relaxed when he heard a familiar whistle coming from outside.He picked up the medicine bag and went outside.The hustle and bustle downstairs could be seen from the railing, Chu Zhao waited for a while, and when she saw Li Mengyang's person appeared, she nodded and went downstairs slowly to decoct the medicine.

The cattail fan shook for a while, and was suffocated by the smoke. Chu Zhao soon realized that he was not the material for decocting medicine, and threw the fan to Li Mengyang who was beside him. She asked, "Has Miss Qingyi returned to the palace?" After coming out of the village, she left a lot of marks on the road, and sure enough, Li Mengyang and his party followed.Although Chu Zhao is self-reliant in martial arts, he is no match for two fists and four hands. It is better to have some people by his side.

Li Mengyang responded: "Send it back." After a long silence, he asked again, "Is that one unwilling to go back to the palace?"

Chu Zhao smiled, his brows and eyes curved like crescent moons, and replied, "I can't say it's what that person meant, and I don't want to go back to Chang'an either."

When Li Mengyang heard it, there was a bit of surprise on his face, but he soon let go of it.The emperor's edict asked them to protect these two, and did not force them to return to Beijing. It seems that they also wanted them to have a good time outside, right?

Ning Yuyao didn't know what was going on outside. She had just finished bathing when Chu Zhao walked in with a medicine bowl. The strong smell of medicine made Ning Yuyao frown.After brushing her damp long hair, she approached Chu Zhao, frowned and said, "Are you injured? What's the matter?" Her tone was a little impatient but there was a lot of concern hidden.

Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "No." After Ning Yuyao sat down in front of him, he continued, "Drink."

Ning Yuyao showed surprise on her face, and replied, "Why do I need to drink medicine?"

Chu Zhao frowned and said, "You have wounds on your body." When captured by bandits, some torture was unavoidable. You could see traces of being tied up with ropes on your wrists, which wouldn't go away in a few days, and there might be some bruises on your body.For some unknown reason, this man remained silent and pretended nothing had happened.

"I—" before the word "no" came out, Chu Zhao took a spoonful and brought it to Ning Yuyao's lips.

The strong smell stimulated the senses, Ning Yuyao stared blankly at Chu Zhao's serious expression, her heart seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't say anything.
