The princess ran away again

Because of the grain truck incident, Li Mengyang had met Princess Zhaoyang a few times, so he no longer concealed his whereabouts.The next day, after completing the tasks ordered by the two young masters, Li Mengyang went to Youjian Inn.At the time when Chu Zhao was interrogating the assassin who was tied up by five flowers, Li Mengyang immediately volunteered and said that this matter should be resolved by him.The hidden guards in Beijing are naturally capable, no less than the people in Dali Temple.

"Xu Zhen went to deal with the affairs in Ping'an County, and the food was sent there. This matter is mostly resolved."

Ning Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, thinking of the skinny people she saw on the road, a look of sadness inevitably appeared in her eyes.The luxury and wealth of fine clothing and fine food are in stark contrast to the bony roadside scenery. How can you know that the outside world is so dark without leaving the imperial city?Is the so-called peaceful and prosperous age just an illusion under the cover of prosperity? "Has the letter been sent to the East Palace?" Ning Yuyao asked again.She has already written a letter of what happened recently and sent it to the prince's elder brother, asking him to report to the emperor.

Li Mengyang replied: "It has been sent."

Ning Yuyao nodded, and then turned to Chu Zhaodao: "How about we stay in Pingchen for a few more days?" As long as the letter is delivered, someone will take Li Ke's place in the future, and the assassin will be included at that time. solved.How can this kind of fish and meat people become a sheriff?

Chu Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine." She doesn't need to worry about the next thing, even if she leaves Pingchen at this time, it doesn't matter, but she knows that Ning Yuyao is not at ease, so she stays with her and waits and sees for a while. for a while.Some subsequent things were as expected by the two, and the real envoy of the emperor arrived.Li Ke originally wanted to invite Li Mengyang, who was escorting the grain truck, into the county guard's mansion, but now even if he didn't want to invite someone in, he couldn't decide, so he could only complain secretly in his heart.

On the day when the emperor's envoy and the new county guard came, Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao also mixed in with the crowd of onlookers, crowding in the street to watch the fun.The news spread very quickly, and after a while, people on the street knew about the change of sky.Li Ke was deprived of his title, and Zhang Haoran, the former magistrate of Ping'an County who had escaped, was also arrested, imprisoned in a prison car, and escorted to the capital for questioning.

Ning Yuyao chuckled lightly, shook her head and said, "I didn't expect Li Ke to be so unpopular. So many people on the road clapped their hands and applauded." It happened that the two walked to the vicinity of the Baibao Pavilion, where there were new treasures placed on the Baibao pole. The treasures that attract those who want to come forward to try their skills, they seem not to be disturbed by the movement outside, and they are absorbed in their own world.Ning Yuyao saw with her own eyes that someone was invited into the Baibao Pavilion by the old man. She frowned and whispered, "King Guang's solicitation of disciples is still going on? What's on his mind? What's on his mind? It's all for a person who is arty, but there are warriors outside."

There was a faint smile in Chu Zhao's eyes. She stared down at Ning Yuyao and said in a low voice, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with King Guang? Isn't he also your elder brother?"

Ning Yuyao gave Chu Zhao a sideways look, and snorted, "I told you before that the royal family is not as good as an ordinary family. My elder brother only recognizes the prince. I heard my sister-in-law mentioned before that what King Guang did Some things have gone beyond the rules, making it difficult for the prince. It is very likely that he has already thought about what he shouldn't have." After a pause, Ning Yuyao said again, "Your general's mansion is also relatively close to King Guang?" Especially you Chu Zhao!The last half of the sentence was swallowed by Ning Yuyao, but she couldn't help thinking about it. If Chu Zhao hadn't been forced into this marriage, would she be the best candidate to become the concubine of Guang Wang?However, I heard that King Guang had admired Qin Yi for a long time, and Qin Yi wanted to marry into the prince's mansion wholeheartedly, those relationships were really messed up.

Chu Zhao didn't argue with Ning Yuyao, even if the general's mansion wanted to lean towards King Guang, it would be impossible.Father has always been upright, even if he has a lot of contacts with the Guangwang Mansion, but when it really comes to that time, he must follow the emperor's will and only assist the heir.After drooping her eyes and pondering for a while, she asked softly, "Did you mention the Baibao Pavilion in the letter to the prince?"

"Naturally." Ning Yuyao nodded, showing a little bit of complacency on her face, "I want my brother to take precautions."

The prince of the current dynasty is particularly outstanding in Wenzhi and martial arts. Compared with the free and easy style of King Guang, he is gentle and honest, and has a virtuous demeanor of his own.It was natural for the crown prince to ascend to the throne of the emperor, and Chu Zhao did not want to see such chaos in the royal family.But the people don't care much, but once the emperor and courtiers, especially those in high positions, will inevitably be affected.I can only hope that the King of Light will calm down the thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Chu Zhao's silence, Ning Yuyao immediately showed some dissatisfaction. She guessed, "Are you looking for excuses for King Guang?"

Chu Zhao shook his head and denied, "No."

Ning Yuyao's eyes widened, and she was about to break the casserole and ask the end: "Then what are you thinking?"

Chu Zhao didn't answer, but just stared at Ning Yuyao's face, until she couldn't bear the scorching gaze and looked away, then she smiled and said, "I want to wait for the moon to shine beside the misty water, in the red apricot forest. In the luxury house, fill the golden cup with wine, and listen to the princess playing the piano."

Ning Yuyao was taken aback for a moment, she didn't believe what Chu Zhao said, but there was still an inexplicable blush on her face.Fortunately, he turned his face away so that Chu Zhao could not see his expression.Covering her lips and coughing lightly, she responded, "It's June now, where can there be red apricot groves?"

Chu Zhao said with a low smile, "Juyue Han is a lotus, and Jasmine's guest can replace Xinghua. Would the princess play a song?"

Ning Yuyao was stunned for a moment, then said in a reserved voice: "Let's talk about it when you are free." Chu Zhao lost his mind when he said this, thinking that Ning Yuyao would use the words "the qin is played for the bosom friend" to evade, But I didn't know it should be so refreshing and natural.The smile on Chu Zhao's face grew stronger, he took Ning Yuyao's hand hanging by his side, and whispered in her ear, "Then I will listen carefully."

The matter of Ping Chen came to an end, the two stayed in the inn for a few days, then packed up and continued to go south. The scenery in June is very beautiful, the willows are shining brightly, and the sycamore trees are green on the road. As for the worries, I couldn't think of returning to Beijing all of a sudden.

Huaihu Lake on the west side of Huai'an City is surrounded by mountains in the distance, with willows and willows on both sides. Exquisite painted boats are sailing on the water, and the singing of pipa, guqin and Miaoman can be heard from time to time.Among the many painted boats, a flat boat stretched a line and was slowly approaching.And the sound of the flute from the boat was even louder.

"Our small boat is too shabby, right? It's not like you don't have money to buy a painting boat, and invite three or two girls to pour four or five glasses of light wine. How comfortable it is." Ning Yuyao is the first time sitting here The small boat is only seen in paintings on weekdays. When people are on it, I feel a little worried and a little novel.Li Mengyang pretended to be a boatman supporting the bamboo wormwood, while Chu Zhao was playing the flute on the bow of the boat, his clothes fluttering in the lotus wind, as pure and lonely as a banished fairy descended into the world.

After a song is over, the lingering sound is lingering in my ears, lingering endlessly.

"I didn't expect you to be good at playing the flute, far better than the musicians in the palace." Ning Yuyao looked at Chu Zhao who turned her eyes to stare at her, and said again, holding her chin.

"I can do a lot of things." Chu Zhao walked towards Ning Yuyao, raised his eyebrows and smiled quite proudly, "I can't do it, but I just don't want to do it."

Ning Yuyao chuckled lightly and said, "For example, reciting poems and fighting against each other?" It is said that the third lady of the General's Mansion is full of reckless stomachs. Apart from seeking pleasure, she only fights with others, and she doesn't look like a lady at all. "Young Master Chu is also known as a first-class dandy, but you are above all the young masters in terms of literary talent and martial arts. You are quite favored in the mansion. Naturally, you will study with the two young masters. What they know, come to think of it. You're not bad either. But I don't understand, why do you ruin yourself and make yourself notorious?"

Chu Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "The mouth grows on other people, how can I control it? I just want to be happy and at ease. Why should I restrict my nature? You see those people sitting in the exquisite painting boat, they may not be as beautiful as you are. With the preciousness of gold and jade, look at me lying on my back in the boat gracefully, but I am not reckless—"

"Stop, stop." Ning Yuyao interrupted Chu Zhao's words, looked at the person who was really lying in the boat, and said with a sneer, "You are just boasting, why bother to belittle other people? The people in the boat are messing with you." is you?"

Chu Zhao's eyes were shining, she moved her body, and pressed onto Ning Yuyao's feet, seeing that she didn't move, she went all the way to pillow on her lap.The faint incense from the clothes entered his nose, Chu Zhao took a deep breath, and hummed in a low voice, "I'm a little tired."

Ning Yuyao's hand landed on her face, pushed aside a strand of hair covering her eyes, looked into her eyes, and softly snorted: "Why, let this princess sing a ditty for you?" Can't I coax you to sleep?"

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank the princess." Then he rubbed against Ning Yuyao's arms and closed his eyes as if waiting for the touching singing voice.

Ning Yuyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she raised her hand as if she wanted to slap the person on her body, but when she fell down, she lightened her movement and placed it lightly on her shoulder.Her fingertips were entwined with hair, like the lingering and inexplicable throbbing in her heart. Ning Yuyao lowered her eyebrows and hummed softly: "There are trees in the south, so you can't stop thinking about them; Han has wandering women, you can't think about them. It’s vast, you can’t think about it; the river is forever, you can’t think about it…”

A little sleepy was originally Chu Zhao's joke, how could she be tired?Listening to the humming in my ears, with a thought in my heart, it seems that there is a warm current flowing from my heart.She glanced at Ning Yuyao secretly, surprised by the strong emotion in her eyes, but fell into confusion after a while.Is it throbbing caused by poetry?What yearning does she have in her heart?Who made her sigh in vain?Sour, happy, and sad were intertwined, and Chu Zhao suddenly felt great grief.
