Chapter 68: Gao'an's unhappiness

Views:

"Okay, thank you Hong'er for your adult beauty. Let me go and prepare for you first. According to the water view from the Water Palace not far from Linshui Pavilion, it is actually better than here. In addition to the color of the water, you can also appreciate the scenery of other Qujiang Pools. "How about asking Hong'er to move to the Water Palace?" He Lan Minzhi glanced at Li Hong, and then kept staring at Bai Chun, more like asking for Bai Chun's opinion.

"Okay, everything is up to you." Li Hong said, looking at Gao An who was walking over.

After Helan Minzhi heard what Li Hong said, he immediately left and started to make preparations. The woman who had been flirting with him just now had already become a passerby in his eyes. He took a few dandies from Chang'an who were traveling with him and started Head to the Water Palace and get ready.

"Why are you here? This is my first time out." Gao An stood in front of Li Hong, kicking the innocent grass under his feet unhappily, with a look of reluctance and grievance on his face.

"Hey, you still feel aggrieved? It's okay for Li Sujie to come out. What are you doing here? You are the oldest among them. Shangjin is one year younger than you. If something happens to you, can you bear the responsibility?" Li Hong said looking at Gao An who rarely came out.

Gao An raised his head, his beautiful face was full of sorrow, his bright eyes were red at the moment, and he was probably going to shed tears next moment.

Several princesses from the clan stood there at a distance, not knowing whether to step forward or wait for Li Hong's call before stepping forward. They felt a sense of awe in their hearts towards this cousin who was several years younger than them.

"Mang Zhong, prepare the car and take them back." Li Hong looked at the charming and secretly angry Gao An and said with a heart of stone.

Hearing Li Hong's words, Gao An's tears began to flow from his eyes unconsciously, and the crystal tears slid down his cheeks to his chin. Gao An did not speak and looked at Li Hong stubbornly, his eyes full of sorrow.

Over the years, I have rarely been truly happy. I was locked in the inner garden of the palace every day and could not go anywhere. Apart from the Hongwen Pavilion, it was the harem. I occasionally left the palace, but was taken out by Li Hong. Today I finally thought that I could, I went out to be a free-flying bird for a day, but I didn't expect that I would be caught and forcibly sent back.

Gao An wiped his eyes and choked with tears: "Every time I don't say the reason, I act arbitrarily every time. You are the prince, you can leave the palace at will, you can see this colorful world every day, have you ever thought about it?" How do I feel? So does Yiyang. If you want her to go out, let her go. If you don’t want her to go out, just send her back! We are also royal princesses, not your puppets, and we are not at your mercy, mother. The concubine has been alone in the palace for so many years, and she is still grateful to you Li Hong. But apart from letting the concubine live like a zombie, what else can you give us? You know that if you let me go back, you will bully me and Yiyang, I When can I be myself? I don’t want you to give me so much money every month. I will give you all the money. I just want to come out and see this different sky..."

Li Hong waved his hand, and Xia Zhi understood what he meant, and respectfully led several other clan princesses back to the students.

Although the princesses of the clan couldn't hear clearly what Gao An was saying to Li Hong, they knew that Gao An was feeling very sad from the look of Gao An's pear blossoms as sad as rain.

Li Hong looked at Gao An's aggrieved and choked look, could he tell her that without his mother and concubine living like a zombie, you wouldn't even be able to go to the Hongwen Museum? She can only be confined to the harem, and she has not yet gotten married after several years of adulthood!

Li Hong sighed, took the brocade handkerchief handed over by Bai Chun, handed it to Gao An, who was struggling, and said slowly: "Which royal child can be born with true freedom? Which one is not burdened with the mission of connecting with the royal family? You only see what others have but you don’t have. Do you know how many people envy you now? It’s easy to be reborn as an ordinary person in your next life. Freedom is relative! Say, if your heart is free, you are free. If your heart is not free, even if I put you in an uninhabited place in the Four Towns of Anxi, you will not become as free as a bird!"

Gao An sobbed and wiped the tears that couldn't stop. Li Hong sighed again. He walked up to him and ignored the surprised glances from others. He put his arm around Gao An's shoulders and walked slowly towards the water palace. He whispered in his mouth: "Freedom comes at a price. Because of your recklessness and willfulness, the mother-in-law's life as a walking corpse has lost its meaning these years. Do you think that because of your willfulness, you will not even be able to see the mother-in-law like a walking corpse in the future? Besides, Is the mother-in-law a walking corpse now? She is most satisfied by looking at you every day, and what about you? Before you came out, did you think about the consequences if someone found out that you left the palace secretly? Yiyang is not here, it’s a privilege. Do you think he left just because I said a word? You can’t see how much work Aunt Lanling has done with me...!”

"Stop talking, I'll just go back. I was just impulsive..." Gao An pulled away the arm of Li Hong, who was about the same height as her, and said with red eyes and a pout.

"Forget it, now that you are out, let's go around. When you go back, just remember that I brought you out. No matter who asks you, you must say so. Even the gentlemen from the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall smell like If you deny it, you must also say that I brought you out," Li Hong said, looking at Helan Minzhi and several of his companions who were already waiting on the roadside in the distance.

"Isn't that just telling lies with your eyes open?" Gao An turned to look at him and said.

"So what? As long as you say this, they will choose to believe it even if they don't believe it." After Li Hong finished speaking, he ignored her and asked her to follow him. It would be better than being among the other students. If someone blames her, at least she can be safe and sound because of her protection.

As for Li Xian and others, just let them go. I have too much control. I'm afraid the report will have already been reported to the emperor and the empress before they get back.

Linshui Pavilion and Water Palace are separated by water. The place chosen by the students and He Lan Minzhi is just across the water. If they speak a little louder, both sides can hear clearly.

Everyone sat down. Bai Chun sat down closely next to Li Hong. He Lanmin wanted to sit down next to Bai Chun with quick eyes and feet, but was stopped by Hua Meng who stood behind Li Hong and pointed at Li Hongshi. The person opposite Bu Wai said: "Sit down across from me."

"What? Can't I, a noble member of the royal family, sit next to my cousin? Do you really think that by following the prince, you can boss me around?" Helan Minzhi stared at Hua Meng and said.

"The prince asked you to sit across from me." Hua Meng said calmly.

Seeing that Hua Meng's attitude was so tough, Helan Minzhi looked at Li Hong, who had already sat down, and saw that Li Hong was talking to Gao An on the other side of his body, ignoring the confrontation between him and Hua Meng.

Then he saw Gao An waving to the Linshui Pavilion opposite, motioning for several other princesses from the clan to come and sit here.

Li Hong didn't even look at Helan Minzhi, who was in a stalemate with Hua Meng. The four girls were busy at Xia Zhi, placing the rich food brought by He Lan Minzhi on the table in front of Li Hong.

"Hong'er, I haven't seen you for many days, brother, so I want to sit closer to you and tell you about my difficulties during this time." He Lan Minzhi looked at Hua Meng's firm attitude, but Li Hong didn't seem to notice at all. So I had to say shamelessly again.

"You can sit across from me. There are no outsiders here. They are all mine. Is there anything you can't say?" Li Hong said without raising his head as he picked at the table.

At this time, people at Linshui Pavilion had already started composing poems. Because Wang Bo was going back to his hometown, and because he became famous at a young age and had outstanding literary talent, he naturally became the focus of everyone, so they began to let him write poems first.

The students also wanted to write a poem and hand it back to their teacher because they were visiting Qujiang Pond today, so they also hoped to find some inspiration from Wang Bo.

Wang Bo readily agreed. He sat there alone looking at the lake and began to organize his thoughts. Everyone stopped disturbing him and began to discuss in a low voice who should write the poem next.

"Oh, that's right. Before we come out, Mr. asked everyone to write a poem, otherwise they will definitely be punished." Gao An had already burst into tears and smiled. Looking at the scene opposite, he suddenly remembered that this trip still had a mission. of.

"Then just do it." Li Hongai said indifferently.

"I can't think of it." Gao An knocked his head on the table and said helplessly.

"How about this, let Mr. Helan write a poem for you? He is the number one romantic scholar in Chang'an, and his reputation is not in vain." Bai Chun took a sip of tea and said lightly, but his eyes never looked at Helan Minzhi. One glance.

Helan Minzhi's eyes lit up, and the beauty took the initiative to talk to him. Her eyes were full of animality like a prairie wolf, looking at Bai Chun, and said humbly: "No, no, composing poems is not what I am good at, but if White Snake White Snake If you are interested in Qujiang Pond, I can help White Snake solve her doubts. As for composing poems, Hong'er is the number one young man. With him here, I wouldn't dare to compose bad poems."

Bai Chun drank tea quietly and continued to look blankly, not knowing where to look. He Lan Minzhi seemed not to have heard what he said, but in his heart he wanted to strangle Li Hong to death. On the way to the water palace, Li Hong actually let himself seduce He Lan Minzhi, saying that there were so many accusations!

Does his crime need to be imposed? The ones that have been found out alone are already too numerous to describe.

The few dandy boys who followed Helan Minzhi saw that Helan Minzhi was less rebellious and more reserved. They couldn't even get close to the woman he liked when they met.

This surprised them all. Helan, who had always been good at seducing women, was about to fail this time. The promise he had just made to them was obviously unfulfilled.

At the same time, Li Hong's identity is also clear in their hearts. After all, in Chang'an City, there are only a handful of people who can let Helan Minzhi hold the wolf's tail between his legs without showing his bestiality.

Feeling He Lanmin's scorching gaze, Bai Chun felt a little uncomfortable. He secretly reached out his hand to the thin flesh of Li Hong's waist and pinched it hard. His lips were almost close to Li Hong's and he whispered: "Slave. If you can’t do it, find someone else.”

Seeing those pure white lips whispering into Li Hong's ear, He Lan Minzhi wished he could take his place. How great it would be if he were the prince!
