Chapter 23 The Four Young Masters of the Royal City (2)
After all this tossing, several people were a little hungry, so they suggested going to eat and drink first. Yu Ying walked up to Li Luo, who had been carrying his body on his back, and said, "Hey, why have you been looking at such a small ornament for so long? If you like it, take it.
Come on.??? ? ”
The merchant nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, I will give it to you if you like it."
"Oh," Li Luo responded, turning to Ying and saying, "You go first, I'll come later."
Yu Ying said oh, turned around and walked towards the restaurant. Li Luo asked: "How much do you usually sell accessories like this?"
"Five small coins." The vendor replied honestly.
Li Luo handed the vendor a piece of broken silver worth one dollar each, pointed to the ornament he was caressing just now and said, "I'll buy this."
The merchant was so frightened that he even said he didn't want any money. Li Luo didn't say much, threw down the money and walked away. The merchant hurriedly shouted: "Sir, your earrings."
Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the vendor was stunned. The earrings that were clearly there just now disappeared, leaving only a pile of fine sand.
After entering this restaurant called Xianqing Yazhi, the entire second floor was occupied by Zhang Zeliu and others, and all the tables where they were eating were kicked off. Several people were lying on chairs and screaming, and the servants hurriedly came forward.
Squeezing his waist and beating his legs, the shopkeeper nodded and bowed, looking at the group of people with a sad face.
A few of them began to order the food, which was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, exotic dishes and fine wines. The shopkeeper was sweating coldly. If he couldn't collect the money from this meal, his hard work in the past two years would have been in vain.
After ordering the food, everyone started chatting about where there were interesting things and where there were beautiful girls. Everyone was quite embarrassed and annoyed at being disturbed by Yang Liuyan today, and they were planning where to dissipate the anger.
There was a flurry of obscene words. Li Luo sat by the window and looked at the passersby on the road. When someone looked up, he saw several people by the window and the guards at the door. They all lowered their heads in a hurry and trotted away.
As he was sitting, he suddenly heard the sound of erhu and pipa playing from downstairs. Everyone became interested and sent guards to pull up the person playing the music downstairs. However, it was an old man and a blind girl who came to perform. Cheng Zi
Yao threw a piece of silver and asked the two of them to start singing. The erhu sounded. Li Luo listened and tapped the window edge slightly following the rhythm of the erhu.
Suddenly he heard a woman scream, Li Luo turned around and saw that it was Cheng Ziyao who reached out to brush the girl's face. Although this girl was fair and fair, she was just a middle-aged girl. Cheng Ziyao held back his anger and saw this girl.
Being blind, I was even more surprised. After singing a few times, I started to move my hands and feet.
The old man hurriedly came forward and knelt down to beg, saying that his granddaughter was an artist but not a prostitute. Cheng Ziyao got tired of hearing this and kicked the old man away. The blind girl rushed over crying but was caught tightly by Cheng Ziyao. During the struggle, she heard
The girl's cries and the sound of clothes being torn were mixed with the roar of laughter from the crowd. The sounds in Li Luo's ears were getting farther and farther away, and there was a salty taste in his mouth. He could vaguely hear the scoldings of Zhang Zeliu and Di Chengning.
, and slowly disappeared.
The blind girl finally escaped, maybe because she looked ordinary. Amidst the laughter and taunts of Zhang Zeliu and Di Chengning, Cheng Ziyao let them go, but rewarded them with some money. The old man and the blind girl
Stumbling downstairs, halfway through, the old man's feet gave out and he rolled down, causing everyone upstairs to burst into laughter. Amidst the laughter, the two of them left the restaurant in panic.
When the food was served, Zhang Zeliu looked at the window and found that Li Luo was missing. He asked curiously: "Where is Li Luo?"
Yu Ying also took a look and said: "I don't know, I was there just now. Let's wait until Li Luo comes and eat."
Li Luo returned to the palace. It was getting late. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Su Xue standing there with her back to the door. Li Luo felt a little strange. Few people came to Qingxin Tower. Occasionally Luo would come to take a look.
I don't know if it is the same today. Then he stepped into the door and saw the person sitting at the front seat drinking tea. Li Luo was slightly shocked. It turned out to be Prince Chun Li Chengye.
Li Luo saluted and said, "Father, why are you here today?"
Li Chengye looked at Li Luo with an expressionless face. This son was originally the pride of the palace, and even more so of himself. He never thought that in just a few years, Li Luo would become so bad that several important officials in the imperial court complained to him. It was even more irritating.
He sneaked into Uncle Zong's house and almost caused the girl to hang herself from the beam. On the other hand, Li Luo never repented and still went his own way. Even his father could not listen to his words.
Li Luo saw Prince Chun's hand holding the tea cup trembling slightly, and a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed across his face, and said to Su Xue: "Su Xue, you go down first, and I will have a conversation with my father."
Su Xue looked at Li Luo, slightly worried, responded, bowed and left.
Li Luo waited for Su Xue to come out of the house and asked, "Father, I wonder what the reason for looking for Lou'er is today?"
Li Chengye still didn't speak and stared at Li Luo for a long time. The two father and son were frozen in the room. After a long time, the sky slowly turned dark. Li Chengye took a deep breath and said: "The Queen Mother is not well, do you know?
"
"Know."
"Go to the palace tomorrow and stay there for a while to stay with your grandmother. She has missed you these days and has ordered people to send you there many times."
Li Luo responded lightly.
Li Chengye looked at Li Luo and felt extremely angry. For some reason, the Queen Mother and the Emperor's brother were very protective of Li Luo. In recent years, no matter what the reward was, Li Luo could not get a share of it, causing rumors among other relatives of the Emperor.
One after another, Li Chengye was disturbed, and what was even more annoying was that Li Luo was so unsatisfied that he also lost the face of the palace.
Looking at Li Luo's calm expression, Li Chengye became even more angry. He was really a traitor who did not respect moral ethics. Li Chengye stood up abruptly, fearing that he could not suppress his anger, and walked out without saying a word.
Li Luo was left standing alone in the house, silent for a long time.
After a while, Su Xue came in to refill the tea, and saw that Prince Chun had left, and Li Luo was still standing in the room. She didn't know what she was thinking, so she called softly: "Young prince."
Li Luo hummed, paused for a while, and said to Su Xue: "You clean up and come with me to the palace tomorrow. The Queen Mother is not in good health, so I will go to the palace to stay with her for a while."
"Yes, young prince, I will go to the dining room to get some food for young prince. What would young prince want to eat today?"
"It's all good. Just ask your servants to prepare whatever is available in the dining room. Don't make too much, just enough to eat."
After Su Xue went out, Li Luo went to the backyard to find Qiuji and settled some things. He came back to Qingxin Building to have dinner, went to greet Luo and told Luo about entering the palace tomorrow. Luo could not help but give some instructions.
He asked Li Luo to act according to the situation, to please the Queen Mother more and not to act in a ostentatious manner. Li Luo Nuonuo agreed.
The next day, Li Luo got up early and washed up. When Su Xue came up, Li Luo had already finished cleaning up. When Su Xue came over and had some breakfast together, he led a few tiger guards, Ouchi guards, and palace maids, and headed straight for
Go to the palace.
Prince Chun's Mansion is not far from the Royal Palace, both in the North City of Zhuocheng.
The North City of Zhuocheng is an important royal area. Except for the Dagan Palace, only relatives of the emperor have always been allowed to live here.
To the east of Zhuocheng is the place where important ministers and high-ranking officials of the court, scholars and officials, as well as some wealthy businessmen and businessmen live. Naturally, there are many arty restaurants, teahouses, and places for orchestral music, silk and bamboo, but generally they are elegant.
The west of the city is the economic center. It is the most prosperous place in Zhuocheng. It has the reputation of thousands of families working together. People have traveled thousands of miles to get the title of the west of Zhuocheng. It means what they have seen after traveling thousands of miles in Dagan.
Everything can be found in the west of Zhuocheng. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also highlights the prosperity of the west of the city. The post houses from various countries are all located in the west of Dagan City, which embellishes the west of the city with a bit of exotic style.
The south of the city is the residence of other civilian officials and the families of some soldiers and generals in Dagan. It occupies the largest area. Anyone who wants to try their luck in Zhuocheng will first settle in the south of the city. Compared with the other three places, it is a little more complicated, but here you can
Discover Dagan's most traditional customs, the liveliest festivals, and some traces of when Dagan was first built two hundred years ago. Many talented people were dormant in the south of the city, and then became famous and became marquises and ministers of the Dagan Dynasty.
These four places are all over a hundred miles in radius, especially the north and south of the city. In the middle of the royal city, where the four domains meet, there is a white rock square called Dingtiantai. It was the site of the founding edict of Taizu Li Xia.
The world is a place where heroes are rewarded. Now the imperial court has not used this square for a long time to recreate the grand event of Taizu's commanding of troops and generals. It is only used occasionally when the emperor and nobles of the dynasty celebrate with the people. The place of mourning in those days has also been used.
A surrounding clear river was introduced, and some flowers, trees and boulders were embellished. Walking through it, it looked more like a garden. It really reminded people of the scene when Taizu ordered his troops to cover the sky with flags.
The Spring River Under the Moon is an alternative place in Zhuocheng, and it is also the symbol of Zhuocheng. Although there are some fireworks places in the east and west of the city, they are not as good as the Spring River Under the Moon. If you want to talk about romance, you can still watch the Spring River Under the Moon.
Li Luo entered the palace from the side door. Li Luo often came here. Although Li Luo had become notorious in recent years, the Queen Mother and Emperor Wanlong still loved Li Luo very much. In particular, Emperor Wanlong valued Li Luo very much and never cared about him.
The slander and slander from everyone in the harem made his brother Li Chengye feel that he was overly favored, not to mention the other descendants of Emperor Wanlong. Naturally, they did not dare to say anything in front of Emperor Wanlong, but in private, they would treat Li Chengye as long as they had the opportunity.
Luo made nasty remarks to each other, but Li Luo always dealt with it indifferently and never complained in front of Emperor Wanlong and the Queen Mother.
