Two days later, when Liu Qinghuan went to the lotus pond to enjoy the flowers, she saw the melancholy figure of Peng Peng again.
I don't know what's going on in the palace today, Xue Mu was called into the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet. Liu Qinghuan thought for a while, walked up to the lotus pavilion and asked, "Pengpeng, I heard that Master Hou gave you the recruits to practice, why are you so idle?"
It's good that she didn't mention it, but when it was mentioned, Peng Peng became even more depressed. He threw a small stone into the pool water, and there was a muffled sound of "boom". After a small splash was splashed on the water surface, the stone sank straight to the bottom of the pool: "Oh, where is my training recruits? Grandpa is training me."
Hearing Pengpeng's complaint, Liu Qinghuan blinked and asked, "Why did you offend Lord Hou?"
"Don't bring up the past again." Peng Peng looked away melancholy, with an expression of not being able to look back on the past.
Liu Qinghuan shrugged, took a small stone in his hand, and threw it into the lotus pond. The small stone seemed to have grown wings, and lightly hit several floats on the water surface, causing ripples along the way.
"Wow! Ulala, you are amazing!" Pengpeng looked at the little pebble that seemed to be alive in surprise, and finally there was some light on his face. Liu Qinghuan glanced at him, and asked inadvertently, "Anaye is going to the banquet tomorrow, right? What countermeasures have you thought of?"
Pengpeng held his face in his hands, looking at the ripples on the surface of the pool in a daze: "What else can we do?" Those beautiful orchids in West Market are just commodities, as long as they can make money, who cares what they think
Liu Qinghuan was silent for a moment, bent slightly, and whispered beside Pengpeng: "Have you considered my proposal?"
She spoke very fast, but she uttered the words very clearly, and Peng Peng listened to her without saying a word. He frowned thickly, as if reminding Liu Qinghuan: "Wulala, if you make Lord Hou angry, the end will be miserable."
Just look at him.
Liu Qinghuan patted the ashes on her hands, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, it's really not worth the loss to make Lord Hou angry. Anyway, it's not me who wants to marry someone else as a concubine."
Pengpeng: "..."
After Liu Qinghuan finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Pengpeng's footsteps moved slightly, skillfully blocking her way: "Do you have a detailed plan?"
His expression was a little anxious, but also a little expectant. Liu Qinghuan curled her lips and said in a low voice, "The first step is to go to the Zhou Mansion to familiarize yourself with the terrain."
Pengpeng rolled his eyes and glanced at the two maids standing outside the pavilion. Liu Qinghuan said knowingly: "I have my own way to avoid them, but Lord Hou..."
"Master Hou may have to stay in the palace for these two days." Peng Peng thought for a while, and then said, "But there will be a night ban at night."
"Could it be difficult for you to be banned at night?"
"Hmph, of course I'm not afraid! It's just you..." Pengpeng looked at Liu Qinghuan's small body distrustingly. He could tell that she had a bit of martial arts background, but if she was caught unfortunately, it might alarm the Second Master Hou. Tian went to the yamen to redeem her.
He didn't want to see such a tomorrow at all.
As if she understood what Pengpeng was thinking, Liu Qing smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, if you alarm Lord Hou to go to the yamen to fetch me, I will definitely not say that you took me out."
Just as Peng Peng wanted to praise her for her understanding, she continued, "I would say that I went out with you myself."
Pengpeng: "..."
It might sound a little different, but he knew the ending wouldn't be a little different.
The two agreed on a time to go out, and Pengpeng asked worriedly: "Can you really dance Hu Xuanwu?" Liu Qinghuan's jumping in place last time had a huge impact on him, and he still remembers it. still fresh.
Liu Qinghuan glanced at him disdainfully: "Isn't Hu Xuanwu just spinning in circles? I can spin around for four hours without a break. Why don't I spin one for you to see now?"
"No, you'd better pass it on to Master Hou."
Liu Qinghuan curled her lips and was about to leave the Lotus Pavilion, but she turned around after taking two steps and asked, "Pengpeng, why don't you help Anaye redeem herself?"
Peng Peng was taken aback by the question, he frowned and looked at Liu Qinghuan for a long time before asking: "What about after helping her redeem her body?"
Liu Qinghuan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Oh, it's easy to get a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover, ah!"
I don't know why, Peng Peng felt a little depressed suddenly, he pursed his lips and walked back to the lotus pavilion, and continued to throw stones into the lotus pond.
After the sun goes down, the gates of each workshop are closed one by one. As expected, Xue Mu didn't come back today, and only sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she should have a good meal.
Liu Qinghuan curled her lips, what day did she not have a good meal? She has always been serious about eating.
When it was completely dark outside, two cat meows suddenly came from a distance outside the window. Liu Qinghuan's brows twitched, and she walked to the outside lightly, Chi Tao and Qing Zhi were already drowsy. She took out the incense hidden in her sleeve and lit it, and the quiet fragrance lingered from the noses of the two servant girls. Liu Qinghuan quickly extinguished the incense in her hand, and quickly caught the falling incense ash with her handkerchief.
After finishing all this, she took out a thin piece of sand from her cuff and put it on her face, and turned over the courtyard wall.
After landing, Peng Peng who was waiting outside gave her a few meaningful glances: "Yale, I didn't expect U Lala to be so agile."
Liu Qinghuan smiled and said: "Thank you, I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was a child. Although I haven't learned much boxing kung fu, I can still do light work."
Peng Peng looked at her a few more times, and finally stared at the veil on her face and said, "But this outfit is... Du Juan?"
The cuckoo bird on the veil is so lifelike, I think there is no one in Chang'an who doesn't know him.
Liu Qinghuan chuckled a few times: "Like it? I think it's better to be more cautious when doing bad things, so I specially prepared this veil. If someone sees it, I can push it all on Du Juan."
Pengpeng opened his mouth slightly in surprise: "Wulala, what a cunning little fox."
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk." Liu Qinghuan cupped her fists humbly, and quickly walked towards the direction of the square wall.
The two climbed out of the wall of the workshop, carefully avoided the street messengers, and climbed into the Yanshoufang. Pengpeng took Liu Qinghuan to find the mansion of a wealthy businessman surnamed Zhou. Liu Qinghuan looked up and leaped onto the roof with light work. Peng Peng glanced at her anxiously, and followed her up to the roof: "Why do you want to get on the roof?"
Liu Qinghuan said: "Of course you stand tall to see far, and don't you do bad things from the roof?" She said, pointing to the main hall in front, "Tomorrow is the banquet here?"
"Yeah." Pengpeng just nodded, and saw Liu Qinghuan flying towards the inner courtyard again, he hurried to catch up, "What are you doing in the inner courtyard?" Now he regretted agreeing to Liu Qinghuan's proposal.
But Liu Qinghuan said with great interest: "Of course it's a visit."
"What's there to see? There's no such thing as a marquis mansion here!" Pengpeng wanted to pull her away before anyone found out, but saw her tiptoe and sprinted forward again. Pengpeng was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood, so he had to follow her closely: "Be careful, it will be terrible if you trample on the roof!"
Liu Qinghuan gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, this is a mansion where thirteen concubines live. The house must be well-built and earthquake-resistant."
Pengpeng: "..."
He swore he didn't understand what earthquake resistance meant.
Liu Qinghuan squatted on the roof and looked around, and suddenly asked: "Where do you think the rich businessman hid "Magnolia Spring"? The study? The secret room?"
Pengpeng said: "Isn't it going to be taken out tomorrow? What are you in a hurry for?"
Liu Qinghuan nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense, let's go back, Pengpeng."
Very good! Pengpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he turned his head and walked back, a person came out from under the eaves.
Zhou Jinjin got up to go to the latrine, but unexpectedly the back of his neck seemed to be knocked with something. He rubbed his aching neck and turned his head, looking at the roof in confusion.
There was a person lying on the roof, with a light veil covering most of his face, and the only pair of eyes that were exposed shone breathtakingly in the moonlight.
Zhou Jinjin's heart skipped a beat, beauty, beauty! Just by looking at her eyes, she must be a big beauty!
The beauty under the moonlight waved to him, smiling so much that her eyes curled up.
Ow! Zhou Jinjin felt that his heart was broken. He just happened to be short of a fourteen-bedroom concubine recently.
It's a pity that after the beauty waved to him, she flew away lightly. Zhou Jinjin froze in place holding his heart, and the boiling wolf blood suddenly cooled down by half.
When she stood up just now, he saw clearly the cuckoo bird on her veil through the moonlight.
The beauty turned out to be a cuckoo? !
It was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over his head, and the charming mood just now disappeared in an instant. Du Juan is a well-known liar in Chang'an City. I don't know how many wealthy businessmen have been tricked by her. It seems that he has to be very careful recently.
Liu Qinghuan followed Pengpeng quickly through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, but unfortunately the return journey was not as smooth as when he came here. Seeing Chongrenfang was in front of him, he suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes passing from the left.
"Oops, it's a street envoy!" Pengpeng's heart sank, but he bumped into him unexpectedly. He subconsciously lifted the black cloth on the handle, and looked back at Liu Qinghuan. Liu Qinghuan signaled him to go quickly with his eyes, and the two quickly rushed towards the wall of the square, but the group of galloping horses was even faster.
"Who is in front! It is forbidden to go out at night, but there is a pass order!" The man riding in front shouted at the two of them, and when he saw the veiled woman clearly, his face immediately turned green, okay, okay ! It's you cuckoo again!
"Du Juan! I must catch you today!" The man clamped the horse's belly suddenly, and the horse neighed high, and ran even harder.
Pengpeng has climbed into the wall of the workshop and is waiting for Liu Qinghuan to come in. As a result, as soon as he stood firmly on the ground, he saw Liu Qinghuan lightly leaping up the wall of the square, running on it while smiling strangely, "Hahahaha, come and chase me~"
Pengpeng: "..."
Street envoy: "..."
Lord Hou! I was wrong! I shouldn't have let her out! While weeping, Pengpeng dragged down Liu Qinghuan who was still running on the wall of the square, and ran towards the Hou Mansion.
