It's hard to be the king of rebirth

In June, the lotus blossoms, lightly winding around the Pan-Orchid Pond.Huajiao reflects the red rain, talking and laughing is fragrant.

Because Guanzhou is full of lakes, ponds and streams, and lotus flowers are everywhere. On the day of Chaolian Festival, men and women come out of the city, and there are huge crowds of people, which is very spectacular.In the lake, the boats and flutes and drums sounded, tourists played and sang wine on the lake, literati recited poems and painted paintings, famous prostitutes and oirans danced like surprises, and carnivaled until dawn.

The emperor has been raised in the deep palace all year round. Where has he seen such excitement? Hearing this grand occasion, he yearns for it.

On the [-]th day, there were indeed a lot of foreigners staying in the inn, the clerk said cheerfully, luckily they came a day earlier, otherwise they would not be able to vacate these many rooms.

After lunch, everyone left the inn. The street was already full of people, and the originally wide road became impenetrable.

Zhou Xu and the emperor were both dressed in white robes, looking like handsome princes, Xiao Fu Yuelang was still dressed as a book boy, and followed not too far away, Li Taiyi always liked to be quiet, after a stroll down the street, he turned back to the inn to rest, there were only two guards Because the face is too serious and fierce, it is inevitable to arouse suspicion when walking with four people, and was ordered by the emperor to secretly guard.

Zhou Xu and the emperor walked side by side in the market, cars and horses glistened, and the flow of people was like weaving. Because of their handsome faces, people who passed by, male or female, all looked sideways, and some even stopped to stare in amazement.

Seeing the situation, the emperor turned his head to Zhou Xu's ear and said with a smile, "Heng Zhi, follow closely, so that you don't get dragged away."

Zhou Xu also laughed: "If I knew this, it would be easier to pretend to be a beggar."

Small merchants and hawkers on the street set up their stalls one after another, crowded the road, shouted endlessly, and ate all kinds of food that the emperor had never heard or seen before, which attracted him to stop and linger several times.

But every time the emperor wants to eat, Xiaofu will stumble forward and say: "My lord, the food sold by the street vendors is not clean and crude, or..."

Seeing Xiaofu's face as if he was cowering before the enemy, the emperor lost his interest and sighed a few times to give up.

Zhou Xu winked at the emperor, and the emperor smiled knowingly. The two swayed left and right, and turned into a busy alley. Little Fu Yuelang was lost.This is all right, no one will spoil the fun again.

The two of them walked for a while, turned into a street full of people, and suddenly smelled the aroma of food, Zhou Xu was delighted, he had expected that such a lively festival would be full of snacks, so he only ate one for lunch Five minutes full, after tossing and tossing this afternoon, I have completely digested it, and I can't help but move my index finger.

Although the emperor ate delicacies all over the place, he had never seen such a bustling snack street. He was so happy that he threw away his majestic mask and dragged Zhou Xu to look here and there with great interest.

The emperor stopped in front of a Bihe Rice stall, steaming hot, lotus leaves in the steamer were tied into small squares with straw, and the bright yellow leaves were wrapped with oily and translucent rice, exuding a burst of fragrance, which was very novel.

"My two sons, my family's Bihe rice is the most authentic and delicious. I have been making it for decades. How about a share for the two of you?"

Zhou Xu saw that the emperor was happy, so he took out a copper coin and bought a copy. He held it hot in his hands and tossed it around. When it was not so hot, he untied the rice rope and opened the lotus leaf, revealing the crystal clear fleshy fragrance. Rice packs come.This green lotus rice is steamed with fragrant japonica bacon and shiitake mushrooms wrapped in lotus leaves. It is fragrant outside and inside, and the taste is very moving.In a short while, the two shared a portion of Bihe rice.

After that, the two bought lotus cake, the fluffy and soft cake was mixed with a little lotus petals, it was fragrant and sweet and melted in the mouth; they tasted the iced lotus root powder, which was sweet and smooth in the mouth, quenching thirst and heat; they also drank lotus seed and lily porridge The coolness of a summer is in this bowl of Birourou soup; there is also a pot of lotus wine, which is said to be a flower wine made from white lotus petals and dewdrops on lotus leaves, which is extremely elegant.

After shopping for an hour, the twilight was getting darker, and Zhou Xu had already carried a lot of small objects in his hands, including everything to eat and play.The two of them didn't feel tired, they strolled slowly, the breeze was blowing, the fragrance of lotus leaves wafted through, the BMWs were carved along the way, the beauties were full of laughter, it was very pleasant.

The emperor just smiled softly all the way, smiling at the vendors selling small objects, smiling at the women making wine by beating lotus seeds, smiling at the gifted scholars and beauties who came to enjoy the flowers, and laughing at the children vying for lotus cakes , I am really happy from the bottom of my heart.He thought, when had he ever been so free and happy?Knowing that this comfort is hard-won, I want to cherish and keep it even more. It is best that this market never ends, this night never greets day, and the person next to me never turns back.

Zhou Xu was also happy from the bottom of his heart. He was so happy that he forgot that the person beside him was the emperor whom he was always on guard against.

The darker the night, the more prosperous the lights on the street market, the swaying night, the bright full moon, everything is too flashy to be real.

Zhou Xu was afraid that the emperor would be tired from walking, so he proposed to rest by the lake for a while.There is an old banyan tree with intertwined roots by the lake, on which there are dense wishing cards wrapped with red strings, and the incense is flourishing. An old woman is standing under the tree selling wishing cards wrapped with red strings, and beside her is a bowed man A fortune-teller with a curvy back, with a flag with the words "magical fortune teller" stuck beside his chair, with his head down, he is deserted and has no business.

The emperor had heard that the folks had always worshiped tree spirits, and there was a custom of making wishes and praying under the tree, but he had never seen such a grand event with his own eyes, so he dragged Zhou Xu to buy a wishing card.

Zhou Xu smiled: "Didn't brother always disbelieve in ghosts and gods?"

"Do as the Romans do, let's see the excitement." The emperor pulled Zhou Xu and said enthusiastically, but he looked like a child visiting the market for the first time.

Zhou Xu was amused, you are the emperor, why not follow you?He smiled and let him lead him away.

"You two young masters, look at your extraordinary looks, are you interested in making a fortune teller?" The fortune teller said in a low voice, without looking up at the two of them, with the description of a blind man, his right hand kept stroking the white patch of his chin Beard, voice hoarse but not very old.

When Zhou Xu heard the voice, and looked at the figure carefully, the blood in his whole body froze instantly, and he froze in place, unable to move.

Even if the night is dim and the lights are dim, even if he pretends to be like this... he, Zhou Xu, knows clearly, who is this person if it is not Li Sang?

"Old gentleman, since you can't see it, how do you know that my sister-in-law and I have extraordinary looks?" The emperor became interested after hearing what the fortune-teller said, turned around and said with a smile.

Li Sang laughed twice, and said dryly: "Over the years, the fate of the old man's skin has been touched by the hands of the old man, and there are thousands if not tens of thousands. Just by smelling the smell, the old man will know who the two are. Your Excellency."

Zhou Xu gasped, what kind of nonsense was Li Sang talking about, how could a fortune teller come to tell his fortune by smelling it?Don't you do your homework before putting on a disguise?Fortunately, the emperor has never seen this world, otherwise there is no way to scare people.

The emperor became more and more interested, walked up to Li Sang's booth, and said: "The old gentleman is telling me, what kind of nobles are my brother and I?"

Li Sang stroked his beard and meditated for a moment, pretending to be profound and said: "The two young masters are from the capital, they must be from the Zanying family. Many people I have seen are not as precious as the two young masters."

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and smiled with great interest and said to Zhou Xu: "This old gentleman is a bit interesting."

Seeing this smile, Zhou Xu became even more depressed. No matter what, as long as his elder brother finds it interesting, he will talk about it endlessly, so he pretended to be humble and said: "Old gentleman, you have misread it, brother and I He’s just an ordinary businessman.” Then he whispered to the emperor, “These fortune-tellers on the street are all bluffing people’s money, nonsense is unbelievable, let’s go to appreciate the lotus lanterns earlier.”

The emperor became interested, so he was not willing to let it go, and said with a smile: "Anyway, if you are not in a hurry, just listen to how he bluffs people."

Zhou Xu had a headache and wished he could just knock the emperor out and take him back to the inn to calm down.

The emperor looked at Li Sang for a while, saw that he was blind, and his face should be difficult to read, so he stretched out his left hand, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Then please trouble this old gentleman to read my palm."

Zhou Xu felt uneasy. Li Sang appeared tonight, and he didn't know what his plans were.Exactly fifteen, could it be that you specially sent me the antidote?

Zhou Xu claimed to be a self-aware person, knowing how much his life was worth to Li Sang, so he wouldn't let Li Sang travel thousands of miles to Guanzhou to deliver medicine to him?

Although Li Sang is not an impulsive person, Tsing Yi has always been used to fighting against the court. He is afraid that he will be tempted for a while and think of something risky. Although there are only him and the emperor at the moment, the two guards and Yi Bo I don't know where the masters who have never shown their faces are hiding. As long as Li Sang moves a little bit, his whereabouts will be exposed immediately.

So he hurriedly took hold of the emperor's outstretched hand, pressed it back, and winked at the emperor. The emperor frowned without knowing it, and Zhou Xu whispered in his ear: "Brother, the ninety-five-year-old, how can you let people know?" It's easy...to touch the dragon's body easily." He himself felt that it was far-fetched to say it...

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hengzhi, you are very strange tonight."

"..."

"This young master can't trust the old man, right? Seeing that you two are predestined, the old man won't take your money, so it's not a loss, right?" Li Sang said unrelentingly.

"Okay then, I'll trouble the old man to show me first, you've made it, and then let you see my brother, how about it?" Zhou Xu put his hand on the table in front of Li Sang without doing anything else. , staring at Li Sang.

Li Sang laughed dryly twice, and said: "The two young masters have a deep brotherhood, I really envy others."

"..."

"Young master, palmistry has always shown men left and women right, you can change your hand." Zhou Xu put down his right hand and changed his left hand with an embarrassing face.

The emperor leaned closer, and his eyes were also fixed on Zhou Xu's hand.

Li Sang touched his palm prints in a serious manner, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Young master..." Then he clicked his tongue and shook his head, as if hesitating to speak.

"...The old man can speak directly if he has something to say. Life and death depend on fate and wealth. I can hear it." He glanced at Li Sang coldly as he spoke, thinking that he couldn't find the words for a while.

"All the evil karma created in the past are all caused by beginningless greed, hatred and ignorance." He shook his head again while speaking.

"..." Hearing the emperor's sneering smile, Zhou Xu slandered, dare Li Sang scold me for doing a lot of evil before?
