Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Everyone in Changle Palace, from the master to the palace, suffocated their laughter.Li Xi truly experienced a "large-scale social death scene".

"Ah, it's very windy and sunny today, maybe it's going to rain...Grandma, I suddenly remembered that the school is about to start, I'm leaving first, and I'll come back tomorrow to greet you—"

"Come back." The queen mother said lightly.

Li Xi, who just ran to the door, seemed to have been tapped, and stopped for a moment, turned around a little bit, and smiled.

The queen mother smiled and raised her chin, "This is the Lord Changning, my adopted daughter. Cece, go and kowtow."

Li Xi was startled, "Kowtow, kowtow?"

Even for saints, he seldom performed such great gifts.

"Well, go." The Queen Mother insisted.

Zheng Jiarou had already calmed down when she was on the road just now, and she was still able to restrain herself when she saw Li Xi again.

She stood up, bowed her knees towards the Queen Mother, and said softly: "Your Majesty has betrayed my concubine, how can the prince, who is a thousand-dollar body, do such a great gift to a concubine and a courtier's wife?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "I say I can do what I want. If it weren't for you, I would probably have choked on half of the mung bean cake and went to see the late emperor. You have saved my life. I am a junior. Here is it for you." Kowtow is also appropriate."

"Oh, it turned out that it was this fairy sister who saved my grandmother back then!" Li Xi had heard about it, but for some reason, no one was willing to talk to him about it.

Since he is grandmother's savior, it is indeed worthy of his worship.

Therefore, Li Xi simply lifted up the hem of his clothes and kowtowed, "Xi pays respects to Lord Changning on behalf of my grandmother."

Zheng Jiarou hastily stepped forward, wanting to help him up, but out of courtesy, she could only hold his arm weakly, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, please get up."

In the end, I couldn't hold it back, and my eyes were wet.

Li Xi wondered, why are you crying?

Is one of my heads so earning tears?

Zheng Jiarou turned sideways, tried her best to restrain her emotions, and said: "I haven't returned to Chang'an for a long time, but when I saw my empress, I remembered what happened back then, and lost my composure for a while, I hope the prince will not blame me."

Li Xi blinked and said with a smile: "So I didn't live in Chang'an. Let me tell you, the Junjun is so beautiful. How come I have never seen him before. My sister just came down to earth yesterday, and she came to Chang'an today?"

Knowing that Li Xi was coaxing her, Zheng Jiarou suppressed the fury in her heart and raised her eyebrows in cooperation.

When the beauty smiles, it will overwhelm the country and the city.

Li Xi was dumbfounded.

The Queen Mother laughed from ear to ear, "Changning, look at the skin, it's like a saint!"

Thinking of her former lover, Zheng Jiarou smiled more tenderly.

Li Xi got tired of coming to the Empress Dowager, coquettishly, "Grandma is also used to getting used to it, the saints are not used to me, they even beat me with a whip a few days ago!"

"Nonsense." The Empress Dowager glanced at Zheng Jiarou, and explained cryptically, "Which time was it not because you were mischievous and made the saint so angry that you frightened you? But there was a real fight?"

Li Xi chuckled, "Isn't it because I'm likable that he can't do it?"

"Okay, don't be poor. Didn't you say that you have to go to class, go quickly, and you will be beaten by the master again if you are too careful."

"Tomorrow, Mr. Zheng will be replaced, and Shuyun will teach me. I won't take that piano-playing and singing class anymore. He might not be as good at singing as Shuyun."

The vengeful Xiao Fu Wang secretly filed a black complaint, and then reluctantly left.

Zheng Jiarou's heart followed suit.

The queen mother sighed softly: "Go and send it off!"

Zheng Jiarou paused, but she was not willing to refuse after all, bowed gracefully, and quickly chased after her.

Li Xi hadn't left Changle Palace yet, and was begging for melon seeds from the gatekeeper.Xiaogong knew that he had a good temper, so he dared not give it to him.

Li Xi did not forget to show off when he was grabbing melon seeds: "Do you know who this is for? Dali Temple Shaoqing, Wei Xuezheng in the academy, letting him eat these melon seeds is the blessing of eight hundred lifetimes of cultivation, and I will decide later Can cast a good tire."

"If you don't give it, you will block the good fortune of this little thing, and tomorrow you will become a melon seed spirit, and you will throw your quilt away in the middle of the night!"

The palace man was so teased by him that he bent over with a smile, and stuffed all the melon seeds in a paper bag to him.

Li Xi didn't take it in vain, and threw a string of money to her.Xiao Gongren was not very happy, obviously he was used to it.

Zheng Jiarou stood on the porch, tears could no longer be held back, welling up in her eyes.

This is her child.

She thought about it for 16 years and read about her children for 16 years.

Her only flesh and blood.

At the other end of the corridor, someone coughed heavily.

Looking back, Zheng Jiarou unexpectedly saw the person who was thinking about it day and night.

The moment she turned her head, Li Hong turned around first, with his back to her, pretending that he was just looking at the scenery.

Zheng Jiarou wiped away the tears, walked forward slowly, and stopped at a place not too far away, with a sill between them.

"My concubine has seen a saint."

Li Hong didn't say anything.

Zheng Jiarou was not disappointed, instead she smiled and said softly, "The sage taught him very well."

Li Hong still didn't speak.

I just complained secretly in my heart: You think too much, I didn't teach you.

Zheng Jiarou was not discouraged, and still smiled: "He is very similar to you, smart, lovable, and has a soft and kind heart."

Li Hong continued to complain: You are talking nonsense.

How can I, who is so mature and stable, resemble that little monkey?

Zheng Jiarou looked at his tall back and asked, "Is the sage going to keep talking to me?"

Li Hong: Since you dared to betray me back then, you should know the price.

Zheng Jiarou sighed softly: "In that case, I will leave."

Li Hong: ...

Don't know how to fight for it?

This woman without willpower!

Footsteps came from behind, and Li Hong's face became ugly.

Really gone!

Turning around abruptly, she met a pair of smiling eyes.

So familiar, so beautiful.

It is still the appearance in memory, and it is also the appearance he misses in countless midnight dreams.

Annoyance flashed across Li Hong's face.

Use this trick again!

Zheng Jiarou was walking backwards just now. At this time, he had just walked three steps away. In the past, Li Hong used to coax him when he lost his temper. Every time he couldn't move beyond three steps, he would turn around involuntarily.

"The sage hasn't changed." She smiled softly, but tears welled up in her eyes.

"I haven't changed, but you have changed." Li Hong originally planned to say a lot of vicious words, but seeing her tears, he couldn't utter a single word.

In the end, only one sentence came out: "I'm going to choose my concubine."

"Then, congratulations to the saint." Zheng Jiarou bent her knees, her frail figure looked a little lonely.

Li Hong finally calmed down a bit, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Huh, woman.

This is your punishment!

Zheng Jiarou got up and looked at his figure with warmth in his eyes.

***

After school ended in the evening, Li Xi deliberately went to Dali Temple to pick up Wei Yu, and chatted with him about the interesting things of the day.

The one who talked the most was Changning Junjun, and the words that were used the most were "good-looking" and "fairies descending to earth".

Wei Shaoqing had an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Just got a sweetheart, how come another fairy sister?

At the same time, one thing was confirmed—my little gold bug was Yan Gou.

The reason why he missed Zheng Wei at the beginning was "good-looking", the reason why he had a good impression of Changning Junjun was "good-looking", and the reason why he was willing to put aside the previous feud with Chai Lanlan was also "good-looking, and I couldn't bear her to marry saint".

Wei Yu has no doubts, if it wasn't because of his good looks, Xiao Fu Wang would not even bother to look at him back then.

Wei Shaoqing, who never cared about his appearance, stood for a long time in front of the stall selling bronze mirrors, taking pictures of the front and back, and after taking pictures of the face, he took a picture of his figure. Finally, he bought four of them. .

This is not finished.

He has always been frugal in his life, his salary is used to help those poor students except for a very small amount of expenses, he does not add a piece of clothes, and only wears official robes throughout the year.

To this day, Wei Shaoqing went to the tailor shop for the first time and bought three sets of clothes, blue ones, blue ones, and gaudy ones, and planned to change one every day, so that Xiao Fu Wang would stick his eyes to him every day, so that he would not have time to look again Others.

……

The next day, when Li Xi entered the academy, He Lanpu was the first to rush over to report the latest gossip——

The saint is about to choose a concubine!

Ladies from official families above the fifth rank can participate in the election!

What's interesting is that this time, instead of being directly selected into the palace, some of the right age are first selected and sent to the academy, where they are carefully taught, and then the one with the best character and appearance is selected as a concubine, or even a queen.

Li Xi was taken aback when he heard that, "Why haven't I heard about such a big event?"

"The decree just announced this morning, brother Xi is sleeping late again?"

Li Xi coughed lightly: "That's what I call recharging my energy."

"Yes yes yes." He Lanpu bumped into him and said with a smile, "Brother Xi, did you notice any difference in the academy today?"

Li Xi looked around, and his eyes fell on the apricot tree under the window, "Are the apricots ripe? Can you steal them?"

He Lanpu smiled: "The answer is wrong, there is no point. Everyone is wearing new clothes today, not only the classmates, but also the teacher. Don't think about it, it must be to impress the new ladies."

Li Xi stretched out his hand, grabbed a yellow apricot with a swish, and then quickly retracted, looking not very enlightened, "It's not like they are the saints who choose concubines. No matter how good an impression is, what's the point?"

If you have time, you might as well steal two more big sweet apricots, eat one for yourself, and give one to brother Shuyun.

He Lanpu puffed his face, "I don't quite understand either, it was Cousin Chai who told me that they were trying to 'find the leak'."

Li Xi understood.

Isn't that right, the young ladies who are about to enter the palace are all from excellent family backgrounds and good personalities and appearances. If they can ask for one to go back, they will wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

A sense of crisis suddenly emerged.

Does Brother Shuyun think the same way?

After thinking about it, I don't think so.

Brother Shu Yun, who is so clear about public and private affairs, how could he come here dressed up to attract little ladies like these ordinary people.

Immediately relieved.

Joyfully ran into the small classroom, ready to share this big gossip with his brother Shu Yun.

As soon as I entered the door, I was dumbfounded.

Today, Brother Shuyun, wearing a floral dress...

Really gorgeous.
