Changle Palace.
Chang Le is reading "Journey to the West" with gusto in the palace. She has been studying palace etiquette in the inner garden for the past two days. She has a rare free time today and finally has time to read this fantastic story.
"Hey, Changle, are you watching "Journey to the West"?"
Li Chengqian came in directly without being informed. He and Changle have always had a very good relationship. He has come to Changle Palace countless times, and the maids have long been used to it.
"Ah, Brother Prince, why are you here?"
Chang Le was interrupted while watching his story. When he looked up and saw it was Li Chengqian, he was immediately surprised.
"Haha, Gu is here to give you good news today."
Since Li Chengqian met Li Zexuan and saw the harmonious and warm brother-sister relationship between him and Lan'er, he was also a little envious. After that, his sister moved around more frequently, and he also wanted to be a good brother.
"Brother Prince, what's the good news?" Chang Le said with a smile.
Li Chengqian took out the invitation, handed it over and said, "Changle, Qiqu Pavilion will officially open tomorrow. You are also one of the shareholders. Do you want to go tomorrow?"
Changle took the invitation, opened it, and said in surprise: "Of course I want to go. We will go and ask for leave from the queen mother. I will leave the palace with the prince brother tomorrow!"
After saying that, she put down the invitation and took Li Chengqian to the inner garden to find her eldest grandson. Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly and followed his little sister.
…
Today, Li Tai remembered that the "Journey to the West" he "borrowed" from Changle had not been returned, so he thought about going to Changle Palace to return it.
As an elder brother, it is no longer authentic to "borrow" books secretly before. It would be even more unreasonable to "borrow" books without repaying them.
To show his sincerity, the little fat man came to Changle Palace with a hardcover version of "Journey to the West" that he copied himself. Of course, he was also prepared to be scolded by Changle. Who could let him be blamed
"This slave has met His Highness the King of Wei!"
When Li'er saw the person coming, she immediately stepped forward to salute, but the way she looked at Li Tai was a bit strange. Last time Li Tai stole a book, she was almost punished. Of course she didn't dare to blame Li Tai, she was just a little wary, and in her heart I thought: Could it be that King Wei is here to steal things again this time
Li Tai pretended not to see the weird look in her eyes, waved his hand and coughed lightly: "Ahem, where is Changle?"
"Your Highness, the princess just went out with the prince."
"Oh!" Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. He waved his hand and said, "Then you can go and do your business. I can take a walk as I please."
After that, he went straight into the palace.
Li'er wanted to follow her and watch, so as not to lose something again, but Li Tai just didn't let her follow. If she followed, she would definitely touch Li Tai's brow. After hesitating, Li'er still didn't dare to follow. I prayed in my heart that the princess would come back soon.
Li Tai came to the palace and quickly took a look around. When he saw no one, he immediately put the hardcover version of "Journey to the West" in his sleeve on the table and was about to leave. He was also afraid that Chang Le would come back suddenly. .
At this moment, he saw a red invitation on the table. He hesitated, took it, opened it and looked at it.
"East Market, Qiqi Pavilion opened. What the hell is this? Li Zexuan? It's actually Li Zexuan's shop? It turns out it's you, a bastard. If you don't write "Journey to the West" properly, you go to open some Lao Shizi Qiqu Pavilion. You're really not doing your job properly. I'm so angry, I'm going to capture you tomorrow to write a story, hmph!"
Li Tai put down the invitation and walked away angrily, leaving a confused Li'er outside the hall.
…
Not realizing that anyone was plotting against him, Li Zexuan took a sweet nap on the deck chair in the west courtyard. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sun was almost setting.
Thinking of the children in the front yard who were still practicing scooters, Li Zexuan quickly got up and washed his face before going to the front yard to see how those children were doing.
Before reaching the front yard, he heard bursts of children's laughter. Li Zexuan even heard the voices of Tiedan and Lan'er, so he hurried over.
"Xiao Zhi, please control your speed and maintain your formation."
"Okay, I got it, Brother Xiaohang!"
"Xiaoxue, your team should be faster. Keep up with Miss Lan'er's speed. Don't fall behind."
"Understood."
When Li Zexuan came over, he saw Xiaohang directing a few people to practice skateboarding. There were two teams in total, the boys' team, Xiaohang was at the front, and that brat Tiedan actually got into the team, and the girls' team, Lan Lan'er was at the front, and the three little girls behind were struggling to keep up with Lan'er.
The two teams were like two little dragons, meandering in the front yard. It was very beautiful. Several children in the field cheered, and Lan'er screamed the loudest. The little girl usually has few playmates, but this time so many children came to play with her on the scooter. She was so excited that she even pulled Tiedan, who was learning to read, over with her.
"Ah, brother, you are here!"
When Lan'er saw Li Zexuan, she paused and said in surprise.
But the three little girls following her had no time to brake.
"careful!"
Seeing that several people were about to rear-end each other, Li Zexuan ducked over and picked up Lan'er and her scooter, thus avoiding a "serial car accident".
Putting down Lan'er, he glared at her angrily: "You are so frizzy, why are you so careless?"
Lan'er was not afraid of him either. She stepped forward and took Li Zexuan's arm and said with a smile, "Lan'er knows that my brother can save me in time. Wasn't that the case last time?"
Xiaohang and others had also stopped their scooters, came to Li Zexuan with some fear, and said tremblingly:
"Master, forgive me, we didn't take good care of the young lady."
Li Zexuan smiled and waved his hand. He is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong.
"I don't blame you for this, don't be afraid. I just watched, Xiaohang, you guys are practicing very well. Let's practice here for today. Tomorrow morning, when the gate opens, you can come over first and practice for a while. , wait until noon, and we will go to the East Market together. Sanbao, each of you will be rewarded with ten cents. You guys should go home quickly."
It's not that he is stingy, but ten cents is already a lot for these children. Giving more would be harmful to them.
Xiaohang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Zexuan didn't anger them. These young masters from rich families beat people a lot for trivial matters. When he heard that there was still reward money, Xiaohang quickly stepped forward and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Master, for the reward. We will definitely come over on time tomorrow to rehearse well. We will not embarrass the Master by then."
Li Zexuan nodded. This child was very clever and good at talking. He couldn't help but wonder: Are all children in ancient times so precocious
Several children happily received the rewards and went home. Lan'er came over and said, "Brother, Lan'er also wants to perform with them tomorrow, okay?"
Li Zexuan frowned and said, "Lan'er, why are you going to cause trouble? If trouble happens like just now, it will be very dangerous."
Lan'er pouted and said: "No way, Lan'er just saw her brother and was happy for a moment. Lan'er promises not to do it next time, okay, brother~"
Hey, Li Zexuan stood on his head. When did this little girl learn to act coquettishly? He jumped away quickly and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you go, be careful when the time comes!"
Lan'er cheered: "Okay, then Tiedan will go with us tomorrow, okay?"
Trying to push the envelope even further, this is typical of trying to push the envelope even further, but when Li Zexuan saw Tiedan looking at him expectantly, knowing that the child was also addicted to playing, he said:
"Okay, but Tiedan has to learn twenty words tomorrow before he can go!"
"Oh, brother is the best, Tiedan, let's go, sister will teach you how to read now!"
Li Zexuan looked at the little girl's back and shook his head. Alas, no one in the family will be able to control this crazy girl in the future!
