Li Chenghuan walked for a while in the deep alley, only to realize that he came out to buy writing paper for Xiao He, but looking around, there seemed to be no shops selling the Four Treasures of the Study.

To get to the nearest shop, he had to go back, so he came to the umbrella shop again. This time, he finally saw the name of the shop, "Qingyu Pavilion".He thought to himself, the person who took this name must also be a refined person.

After walking back for a while, he came to the "Hanbaozhai" where he had bought paper and pens, but found that the store had changed hands long ago.On the location of the original shop, a new small shop called "Time" was opened. The plaque is already weather-beaten, the carved wooden door is closed, and the warm candlelight in the shop shines through.At this time, he suddenly felt that his body was already stiff with cold.

There was a chill in his heart for no reason, he quickly clamped the umbrella he just bought, and walked back quickly.What Xiurong said was right, he really shouldn't come out.

However, just as he turned an intersection, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Can we get a little closer?"

Xiao Qian frowned, looking at Lu Youyou who was hiding under her umbrella.She looked up at him, showing a pitiful look, and said, "I'm cold."

Xiao Qian sighed, and took her into his arms. When he walked through the alley, he saw an unopened umbrella on the stone steps beside the road. In the light rain, running water slid down the folded umbrella surface. Drop by drop onto the bluestone road.Lu Youyou also saw it, so she said naively: "Who abandoned such a good umbrella here?"

"How do you know it was abandoned? What if the owner accidentally lost it?"

"But I just think it's unwanted by others."

"No, don't, it's up to you."

The two gradually walked away in the rain, and Li Chenghuan sat in the shadow, feeling that his legs were already weak, and he didn't have the strength to take another step.The old open umbrella was placed next to it, half exposed to the sky. He carefully looked at the patterns on the umbrella surface and felt that this one was no worse than the newly bought one, except that it was a little older. All good.

He didn't know how long he sat there before Li Chenghuan slowly stood up.He returned to the small courtyard as if nothing had happened, Xiurong had been waiting for him at the door for a long time.

"Son..."

"Did you sleep with your son?" He asked calmly.

Xiurong looked at him worriedly, and said cautiously: "I didn't want to sleep at first, but I insisted on waiting for you to come back. Later, my aunt and I made some soup for him to warm up his body and soothe his nerves. After coaxing him, he fell asleep." past."

"That's good." Li Chenghuan said while closing his umbrella.Xiurong took the umbrella from him, and Li Chenghuan spread his hands: "That store is no longer open, it's a pity that I didn't buy it."

"It's the same when you go shopping tomorrow." Xiu Rong lowered her head and said in a low voice, "My lord, the hot water has been boiled, and the stove is still warm, you go to the room to rest first, I'll bring you some water. "

After Li Fugui came, in order to avoid any suspicion from his father, Li Chenghuan and Xiurong slept in the same room all the time.Originally, Li Chenghuan made a bed on the ground, but today it was raining and the ground was cool, so he tossed and turned and did not fall asleep.In fact, most of the reason he couldn't sleep was because he was pretending to be something, but what was he pretending to be?After thinking about it, it seems to be blank, nothing.

"Young master, you... come up to sleep."

After Xiurong said this, she didn't hear anything for a long time, she knew she had crossed the line.

After a long time, Li Chenghuan finally sighed and sat up wearing his clothes.Xiurong was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out. She heard the rustling of Li Chenghuan's clothes, then his light footsteps, and finally, he sat down by the bed.Xiurong closed her eyes and gradually grasped the quilt tightly. She felt Li Chenghuan lay down next to her, and then gently patted her shoulder through the quilt, saying: "Silly girl, go to sleep, wake up, whatever It's all good."

Young Master, the one who needs to wake up is you, not me.In fact, you know it in your heart...

The renovation of the small courtyard will last for more than a month, and Li Chenghuan has lived outside the palace for a long time, and it is impossible to continue living there.So, soon he brought Xiao He back to the palace.

He met Zhou Yuanjin in the East Palace, and learned from him that Tuoerba was indeed like a bereaved dog now, but what was different from what he knew was that Tuoerba might not have escaped to the desert.

"Not in the desert, can he still come to Daxia?"

Zhou Yuanjin shook his head, sighed, and did not speak.Now that the Khan is in turmoil, the new Khan King Huhetuo has repeatedly shown his ambition to invade the Great Xia, and the border fears that gunpowder will rise again.Recently, in the court, every time there is a dispute over whether to increase troops to the border, the civil and military officials have to fight with each other.

"Then... what does the emperor say?"

Zhou Yuanjin looked at him deeply, and said: "Great Xia cannot start a war. If the flames of war in Central Continent are rekindled, then everything the Emperor and I have done before will be in vain."

One day not long after this conversation, Li Chenghuan finally saw Emperor Xia Jing, but it was not in the East Palace, but in the Imperial Garden not far from Qingxin Hall.

"Teacher is also taking He'er for a walk?"

"My minister Li Chenghuan—to join the emperor, see the concubine Zhen, long live the emperor, long live, long live—"

Before Emperor Jing could say goodbye, Concubine Zhen stepped forward and pulled him up, saying: "Teacher please get up quickly, the emperor is on your side, if I neglect you again, he will be unhappy again."

Maybe it's really my illusion, the Concubine Zhen in front of me is definitely not the gentle and modest woman he saw that day.

She flung herself into Emperor Jing's arms like no one else was around, and said coquettishly, "I didn't say or do anything wrong this time, did I?"

Li Chenghuan didn't dare to raise his head. According to etiquette, he couldn't raise his head at this time.He only heard Xiao Qian's voice, saying: "Okay, you are right. After spending so much time with Gu, you are also tired, go back and rest. Gu will visit you at night."

Li Chenghuan seemed to shudder.So when you face them, are you still so gentle?Who can escape this kind of addiction?

"Your Majesty, it's time for the prince to do his homework. My humble minister—retire first."

Xiao He was dragged away by his husband without knowing why. When he looked back, his father was still standing there.He smiled at his father, but his father didn't look at him.
