Lanling and Chengyang rolled their eyes at Li Hong, who was pretending to be mysterious, and casually opened the brocade box in their hands to see what gift made this little guy so mysterious. He couldn't help but think that he couldn't be teasing the two of them. This little guy would dare to tease anyone in the palace except his father and mother.

Li Hong was very satisfied with the expressions on the faces of the two aunts in front of him. He looked at the two aunts triumphantly and gaped at the contents of the brocade box. His two pairs of beautiful eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that there was such a thing in the world. There is such a beautiful thing.

"This...how is this possible? What is this?"

"Hong'er, where did you get it? This is a treasure, this... my God, why is it so crystal clear..."

"How is it? Are you two aunts satisfied with the gift Hong'er gave you?" Li Hongzhi asked with a proud smile.

Chengyang and Lanling had not yet reacted to the magnificent crystal plaques in the brocade box. They stared blankly at the crystal plaques in the wooden box, muttering something unknown in their mouths.

Then I saw the two of them tremblingly stretching out their jade hands, carefully and cautiously taking out the crystal amulets and placing them in their palms, with expressions of disbelief and shock on their faces. The coolness that penetrated the heart and the heavy and suitable feel made them unable to help themselves. They really had no suitable words to describe such a beautiful and gorgeous Buddha amulet in their hands.

"This... is so beautiful. Hong'er, aunt... aunt can't... accept... this..." Lan Ling said in a difficult tone. She probably didn't even know how to describe her current mood.

It would be a lie if she said she was not moved by such a beautiful crystal Buddha amulet. She wished she could have the crystal Buddha amulet in her hand now. But the little bit of reason she had left told her that this thing was too precious, so precious that it could even be considered a priceless treasure, and she could never keep it as her own.

Just like no woman in the previous life could refuse the charm of diamonds, Chengyang also had messy eyes. She looked at the crystal in her hand and could clearly see the lines on her palm through the amulet. This was something she had never seen before in her life. past treasures.

The two women simultaneously moved their eyes away from the crystal amulet with difficulty and looked at the wooden box of the Linglong Pagoda that had not yet closed the lid. In comparison, the Linglong Pagoda was simply made of broken stone, compared with the crystal amulet in their hands. There is a huge difference, and comparison is simply a stain on the crystal amulet.

At the same time, I also understood why the little guy was dismissive of Linglong Tower. With such a treasure, no one would regard Linglong Tower as a treasure anymore. Thinking of this, the two of them could not help but blush slightly. The treasure in their eyes , in Li Hong's eyes, it turned out to be so worthless, no wonder people dared to throw it around in the palace.

"Hong'er, this is too expensive. Give it to your father and mother. My aunt cannot accept such an expensive gift from you." Chengyang shook his head and sighed. As he spoke, he seemed to feel the reluctance of his heart, which was breaking. Drops of blood.

Lan Ling also nodded with difficulty and said bitterly: "Your Aunt Chengyang is right. This gift is too expensive. My aunt really can't afford it, so I gave it to your father and mother. This can be regarded as making up for the gift you gave me that day." mistakes made.”

Li Hong listened to the words of the two aunts, although his tone was bitter but his attitude was firm. He originally smiled and wanted to see the jokes of the two aunts, but at this moment, that thought had long since disappeared.

My heart was filled with the love of my two aunts for me. When I saw such a touching crystal amulet, I didn’t take it for myself immediately. Instead, I thought about giving it to my father and mother to make up for the day. It was my mistake to break the Linglong Tower in Linhu Palace.

Li Hong looked at the two aunts and still put himself in his shoes at this time. In addition, he did not hesitate to take out the treasures given to them by the emperor that day and let him use them to make up for his mistakes. Such love made Li Hong's eyes A little moist.

"Auntie, this is Hong'er's tribute to you. Just take it, otherwise Hong'er will feel uneasy. For Hong'er's sake, you can give it to Hong'er without hesitation the collection that the emperor gave you. , why can't Hong'er take it out and give it to his aunt?" Li Hong looked at Chengyang and Lanling looking at him lovingly, his eyes that were still wet rolled, and then said: "What's more... What's more..."

When Chengyang and Lanling heard Li Hong's words, their hearts trembled, and they both looked at him nervously. There was an inexplicable and urgent hope in his heart that Li Hong suddenly said that he had two extra pieces for his father and mother. In this way, they can occupy this piece of land.

So, if the two of them are not interested in this crystal Buddha amulet, then what the hell. When they heard Li Hong said, "What's the matter?", the two of them asked urgently at the same time: "What's the matter?" The trembling and nervous tone had already betrayed their hearts. of tension.

"Giggle... What's more? Oh my, Hong'er was so nervous that he forgot about it..."

Lan Ling and Cheng Yang looked at each other. They both had a good temperament and were extremely smart. They immediately understood that they had been tricked by this little guy. It seemed that the little guy was already ready to tease and entertain them.

Suddenly, two princesses as noble and elegant as Luoyang Peony pounced on the hungry tiger at the same time. The poor Dai Wang was caught in Lan Ling's arms before he could run away.

"My little one's butt is itchy, isn't it? You even dare to tease me, aunt, so you should be spanked." Lan Ling finally let go of the string in his heart. At this moment, he spanked Li Hong's little butt while looking at the light flowing on the table. The colorful crystal Buddha amulet made her feel so happy that she wanted to fly.

"Sister Lanling, hold this little thing down. This little thing's butt is not afraid of pain. His mother has already slapped his skin. What he fears most is itching." Chengyang also started to take revenge. The little guy really knows how to torture people. Just now my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

Li Hong was held in Lan Ling's arms and couldn't break free, howling like ghosts and wolves for help, but his personal maids and eunuchs in the room clearly saw the whole incident from beginning to end. In their opinion, the king who teases others deserves to be punished by the princess, because they are the usual victims.

"Hong'er is wrong... Ah, Auntie, stop, Hong'er has something important to say... Tickle..." Li Hong was sweating profusely and panting after being tortured by the two people. He lay on the ground and was too lazy to move.

Ever since Li Hong disappeared from the palace, the entire Tai Chi Palace suddenly seemed a lot quieter and duller. The usual chatter, surprise, shouts, giggles, and laughter could no longer be heard. The little figure was running around in the palace, teasing cats and dogs, and teasing the princess.

Even the queen's palace has become a lot calmer, without the childish begging, coquettish, and pleasing voices. Everything seems to be less lively and easy-going than usual. On the contrary, there is always a dull and depressing atmosphere, covering the entire harem like a dark cloud.

The current atmosphere in the palace makes everyone, whether it is the maids, eunuchs or Jin Wu guards, miss the never restless fifth prince and acting king Li Hong. Although they would usually play pranks on them, they were still a little unaccustomed to it after suddenly calming down. In their hearts, they even expected that naughty little figure to appear in front of them and continue to tease them.

Yang Wu and Lian Tie hurriedly followed Li Zhi, and the three of them quickly walked towards Wu Mei's palace. Li Zhi suddenly stopped and stared blankly in front of Wu Mei's palace, at a conspicuous position on the edge of the courtyard attic, facing a small tree at the entrance of Wu Mei's palace.

After two years, the sapling has grown a lot thicker and turned into a small tree. Looking at the sapling, which was already as tall as a person, it seemed that the shadow of when he and Li Hong planted the saplings still remained.

"Your Majesty misses the little leather monkey again?" Wu Mei walked out of the palace at some point and stood behind Li Zhi and saluted.

"Yes, this little guy has been gone for a month without a letter. In Chang'an City, he is so crazy that you and I have completely forgotten about it." Li Zhi was still staring at the star. Xiaoshu said without looking back.

"The blame for this is that you were deceived by that little monkey. Who asked you to work with him to deceive me? It's fine now. The little monkey was let out, but he didn't take us to heart at all. It's in vain. You still care about him so much. But soon, you will return to the palace in three days. When you come back, I will take care of him for you." Wu Mei rolled her eyes at the back of Li Zhi's head, hoping that the little guy would return to the palace as soon as possible. , let her see if there are any changes in this month, and stop starving and losing weight.

Li Zhi suddenly laughed up to the sky after listening to Wu Mei's words. He was silent for a moment and said, "I thought I was the only one counting the days on my fingers. I didn't expect that you, the queen, are also counting the days on your fingers and waiting. Hong'er is back."

Wu Mei walked to Li Zhi and stood side by side, looking at the small tree, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I haven't slept well since the first day Hong'er left, and I had insomnia the first night. Although he didn't live with me when he was in the palace, he always lived in Wude Palace by himself. Occasionally, he thought of me as the queen mother, so he was willing to stay with me for one night. Normally, I shouldn't be so worried. But now that I'm leaving, my heart is really full of fuss. I always feel like I'm short of something, that I'm not getting better, but I can only count the days on my fingers, hoping that the little skin monkey will come back to the palace as soon as possible and have a good life. Give him a beating."

Li Hong listened to Wu Mei's words and shook his head with a wry smile. He was not like this. When he was in the palace on weekdays, he didn't miss Li Hong much even if he didn't see him for two or three days. But since leaving the palace, Tian Tian has always been thinking about it. Although he knew that nothing would happen to the little guy, and on the day he left the palace, he arranged for people from Li Jing's family to protect him secretly, but still, he was still thinking about it. I miss you for more than a day.

"Do you still remember the queen of this tree?" Li Zhi imagined the situation that day and said with deep nostalgia: "The child who was only one year old found a small sapling from nowhere, and he was covered in dirt. Stainless mud. Queen, do you still remember the scene that day? The little guy was standing with his face covered in yellow mud, right, right at your door, pouting in grievance. You must let me plant that tree with him.”

"Yes, Xiaopi Monkey's stubborn character was cultivated by you at that time. He didn't let Yang Wu and Lian Tie help, let alone others to interfere. Even I was pushed into the house by him, so I let you The two of us dug holes, planted trees, and watered them. It was already afternoon when we finished the work. Halfway through the watering, the little guy fell into the tree hole and fell asleep," Wu Mei said with a bright smile. His eyes became increasingly moist.

"Okay, don't think about that little monkey that is causing trouble, and talk to me for a while. By the way, did you read what the little monkey sent to you last night?" Li Zhi asked.

"Look, why don't you ask Lian Tie to invite you over as soon as you show up to me?" After Wu Mei finished speaking, she discovered that Li Zhi had a crystal clear and lifelike dragon-shaped crystal hanging on his waist. .
