After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Yesterday's rest time was actually a bit late, but because of today's appointment, Xiao Yansui got up early from the bed, picked out some light and smart clothes, and naturally recombed her long hair into an extremely simple and trouble-free ponytail shape.

She didn't expect Xiao Yansui to wake up so early. Axiu rushed over when she heard the sound, and saw Xiao Yansui dressed up to go out.

Axiu paused, and hurriedly said: "I'll send someone to the kitchen to fetch some food."

Xiao Yansui nodded, thinking about the current time, it was just right to eat breakfast first, and then go to Mrs. Pei's place to say hello.

Axiu came over, and while helping Xiao Yansui tidy up her clothes, she asked softly, "Is Liu Niang going out?"

Xiao Yansui continued to nod, and said at the same time: "Yes, call all the guards that A Weng gave me later."

On the day when she just returned to Chang'an City from her hometown, many people did not know her whereabouts, and it was still on the main street in Chang'an City, so Xiao Yansui naturally didn't care that she didn't have the guards by her side.

However, I only met Princess Wan'an at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet yesterday, and today she and Li Tan are planning to go to the mountains outside Chang'an City to see autumn forests and red leaves. Xiao Yansui is really not sure whether they will meet again. "Accidents" that can be concocted by someone with a heart in the side, naturally one must be careful.

Axiu's heart trembled, she nodded hastily, "My servant understands."

Xiao Yansui turned around to eat, and when she arrived at her mother Pei's place, Pei had apparently just woken up not long ago, and seeing Xiao Yansui coming so early today, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise, " Liu Niang?" Then he laughed and said, "It's just a matter of time to have some breakfast with A Niang."

Xiao Yansui walked over and sat beside Mrs. Pei, but shook her head and replied: "Mother, I have already eaten, and I will go out later."

Pei Shi was startled, and took another look at her daughter's attire. As usual, she only pursued lightness, as if there was no jewelry on her body, and she looked extremely simple at first glance.

If it weren't for the light and comfortable clothing, it would be considered expensive, and it would be more elegant than those women who are practicing in Taoist temples...

A few days ago, because of Xiao Yansui's outstanding ability to settle accounts, Mrs. Pei even let go of teaching her about housekeeping. Now that Xiao Yansui is going out, naturally he won't hold her back, but just asked with concern: "Where are you going to burn incense? If you go out, you should bring more people with you."

"I made an appointment with someone to go to the mountains to enjoy the red leaves," Xiao Yansui said simply: "I also brought all the guards with me. They are all the people that Ah Weng gave me before. Don't worry, Auntie, I will be back later today."

Hearing the words "have an appointment", Mrs. Pei couldn't help being startled, but nodded calmly, "Your Aunt's people are naturally reliable, if you want to play for a whole day, you'd better sit down." In the carriage, you can rest for a while at noon or on the way back, and if you ride the horse all day, you may be tired later."

After thinking about it, Xiao Yansui felt that it was feasible, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Sitting with her mother Pei for a while, Xiao Yansui led the people out in a mighty manner, and, even if it was just a day today, in the carriage, except for the things that Pei had just tidied up, In addition, Xiao Yansui also habitually brought his notebook, pencils, and many things that could be taken to camping or even to survive in the wild, and, in the end, he deliberately brought the one he brought back, the long-distance Here Comes the Beagle.

Not long after Xiao Yansui went out, Xiao Heng, who was supposed to be on duty at the Imperial Academy, and Xiao Wu, who came to have a meal together, also appeared in Pei's courtyard.

Xiao Wu was obviously still a little sleepy, rubbing his eyes sleepily, and after sitting down, he just called out in a daze, "Aniang."

Xiao Heng looked around and asked casually, "Liu Niang hasn't gotten up yet?"

Thinking about her daughter's appointment to go out today, Mrs. Pei still felt a little complicated. Now when the eldest son asked, she naturally replied softly: "She has an appointment to go out with someone today, and she has already left."

Xiao Heng suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Even Xiao Wu, who was still sleepy and hadn't fully woken up, couldn't help muttering: "Why didn't Liu Niang call me when she went out to play?"

"With whom?" Xiao Heng slapped Xiao Wu, who was still in a state of confusion, and slapped him on the chair again, and then asked his mother Pei: "After Liu Niang came back, didn't she stay with you all the time? Are you at home, why are you suddenly going out to play again today?"

"Liu Niang got up early this morning, and just came over to talk to each other, so I didn't ask in detail." Mrs. Pei said softly.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than the fact that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last night had just passed, and Xiao Yansui had a limited number of friends in Chang'an City who were close enough to go out and play alone, and most of the time they were with Xiao Wu, since This time it was Xiao Yansui who went out alone, even if she didn't ask, who was the other party's identity, Pei Shi actually knew it in her heart.

Xiao Heng naturally understood Pei's thoughts, and couldn't help but sit there in a daze, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Only Xiao Wu, who hadn't woken up, was obviously out of shape, he rubbed his eyes again, and after he woke up a bit, seeing that Xiao Heng and Mrs. Pei were silent, he followed suit and asked, "Aunt? "

Before Mrs. Pei could speak, Xiao Heng had already glanced at Xiao Wu, "Who else is there, people from the East Palace! Li Tan!"

Xiao Wu was shocked, "What? It's him again?"

At this moment, even Mrs. Pei felt something was wrong, she looked at Xiao Wu with her eyes, and asked after deliberation: "Again? Wulang, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Wu: "..."

Facing his mother Pei and Xiao Heng who were staring at him covetously, Xiao Wu suddenly trembled.

At the same time, on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, Li Tan, who had already arrived at the agreed meeting place, was standing there alone, holding the reins of a fine horse in his hand.

Seeing the Xiao family's carriage and a large group of guards approaching, even Li Tan couldn't help being slightly startled.

The next moment, the curtain in the carriage was picked up lightly from inside, Xiao Yansui turned her head sideways with a smile, and waved to Li Tan, "I'm coming, I've been waiting for a long time."

A simple smile appeared on Li Tan's face, and even the moment of dumbfounding when he saw this mighty group of people just disappeared instantly.

He walked directly to Xiao Yansui's carriage, and happened to be standing outside the window, and was about to speak to Xiao Yansui, when suddenly there was another slight "rustling" sound in the carriage, followed by It was a handsome hound with shiny fur and flexible ears, with a pair of big round black eyes, also leaned near the window of the carriage, and sniffed vigorously at Li Tan outside.

Li Tan: "..."

Xiao Yansui couldn't help laughing out loud, rubbed the dog's head, pushed the beagle back, and then continued to lie on the car window and said to Li Tan: "Let's go there in a carriage first. There is heavy dew in the mountains and forests, the wind is still a bit cool, and it’s easy to talk on the road.”

Naturally, Li Ran would not refuse her proposal. After handing over the reins in his hand to the guards brought by Xiao Yansui, Li Tan turned around and got into the carriage as well.

As soon as he came in, he was hit by the fluffy but vigorous beagle.

Probably seeing a newcomer, the beagle was also a little excited. A powerful big tail was shaking vigorously in the spacious carriage. It wasn't thick enough to wear at the moment, and the pain was so painful that it made people wake up instantly.

Xiao Yansui wrapped his arms around the beagle's neck and exerted a little force under his palm. The little guy who had grown up and was full of strength obediently squatted down in front of her, but still flicked his tail in the carriage. Swipe up and down.

After calming down the excited beagle who wanted to get close to Li Tan, Xiao Yansui turned his head and said with a smile: "This is a beagle from the northwest area. After I raised it in my hometown, I will take it with me all the way back to Chang'an City this time." Come here."

"Very...lively." Li Tan resisted not touching his numb leg after being whipped by the dog's tail, but nodded with a smile, and reached out to stroke the beagle's head .

After a brief pause, without Xiao Yansui's order, the carriage started moving again, heading out of the city.

To be honest, Li Tan never expected that Xiao Yansui's going out today would be such a big fight. He thought it was just the two of them...

Regarding Li Tan's unspoken words, Xiao Yansui replied with a chuckle while smoothing the beagle's fur: "Ever since I had an accident in the Ximing Temple when I was a child, most of the time, the guards around me would go out again. No less."

Li Tan's thoughts suddenly drifted away, remembering that when they first met, the girl next to her was still a little girl of a few years old, with a huge mosquito bag on her white and tender face, Li Tan couldn't help but hide a little Without smiling, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yansui with a smile, and said softly: "It should be, your safety is naturally the most important thing."

Xiao Yansui nodded. In this regard, she had obviously reached a full agreement with Li Tan.

She didn't mention yesterday's Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, seeing Princess Wan'an's eyes full of gloomy and hostile looks, but Li Tan, who had been with her all the time last night, naturally also knew in his heart that Princess Wan'an meant The danger could erupt at any time.Unless Princess Wan'an suddenly loses power and changes her temper, if Xiao Yansui stays in Chang'an City for a day, she must always be careful to prevent her from going crazy.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Yansui lowered her voice slightly, and whispered to Li Tan: "I will leave Chang'an in a few days and go back to my hometown in Lanling. I don't know if Princess Wan'an will be here these days." If there are other actions, in fact, I hope she can do it, otherwise, if I can't catch the clues, I still don't understand what she is going to do."

Thinking of Princess Wan'an's possible actions, Li Tan naturally couldn't help but frowned slightly, but, compared to those that he could be careful about, he was more concerned about what Xiao Yansui said was about to leave.

"Are you going back, so soon..." Li Tan said softly.

"It's going to be winter in a few days," the beagle was resting its head on Xiao Yansui's lap lightly, and after being smoothed by its owner twice, it tilted its head comfortably and looked at it curiously. Li Tan.

Facing the dog's innocent round black eyes, Li Tan twitched the corners of his mouth, and simply smoothed its fur.

Xiao Yansui took some snacks and hot tea from the grid, distributed them to Li Tan, and continued to answer: "After the weather is cold, if it snows, the road will be difficult to walk, so I originally planned to rush to enter Go back before winter."

"That's true. It's a long journey, so you have to make plans early." Li Tan sighed softly.

They haven't parted yet, but just talked about her departure in words, and I can't help but feel a lifetime of reluctance in my heart.

At that moment, the thought of wanting to be with her flashed through his mind.It's a pity that such impulsiveness is not justified, and it's impossible to find an excuse. After all, it's just thinking about it...
