Chapter 30: A Son-in-law in the City

Early the next morning, Li Sui got up. The jade slave who was on duty at night immediately went out to call for service after hearing the sound. The next moment, he saw the palace ladies filing in. The leader was holding a red gold cleansing basin with fish and lotus flowers on the bottom in front of Li Sui.

, the basin is filled with washing water mixed with jasmine juice, and then pounded with spikenard, kaempferol, incense, Baijie, Angelica dahurica, saposhnikovia, mugwort, Beauveria bassiana, white aconite, trichosanthin, tonka, and mung bean powder.

After using the fine cleansing fragrance, the girl's skin is as colored as jade porcelain, but also like a cracked egg, soft and delicate, with a faint fragrance.

Li Sui sat in front of the dressing table, and Niannu helped him put on a simple girl's hair-parted bun, decorated with the bright red begonia that was in full bloom today, and only a spider-shaped gold hairpin inlaid with red sapphires was slanted on the temples.

, the red tourmaline pendants beside her ears complemented each other even more. After finishing her makeup, Nian Nu seemed to think of something again, and lightly decorated a pink and white Qionghua flower between Li Sui's eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "In a few days

On the Qiao Qiao Festival, I will use this spider-shaped hairpin to seek good omens for the princess."

When Li Suifang went out, he saw Baoying, who was wearing new makeup, just about to come in. When he looked at Li Sui, surprise flashed in his eyes. He smiled and stepped forward to take Li Sui's hand and looked at it carefully.

The upper body is wearing a goose yellow half-arm narrow-sleeved short jacket decorated with white Qiong flowers, and the lower body is wearing a red-based skirt with goose yellow fine pleated flowers. At a glance, the girl's tall figure is even more slim, and paired with a wrist

The crimson shawl on the top is particularly eye-catching.

"It's rare to see you wearing such colors. Even I can't take my eyes away when I see you."

Li Sui smiled when he heard this, looked at Baoying teasingly and said, "Now you can also make fun of me."

Seeing Li Sui holding his hand, Baoying also shook it cordially and said as he walked: "What I said is serious. In the past, you wore dignified and chic clothes. You looked like a goddess in the sky. Although you are beautiful, you are tall."

Unattainable, today my body is a bit more delicate and charming, as if I have descended into the world for the first time."

Upon hearing this, the young lady next to her blushed and didn't know how to reply, but Li Sui didn't notice anything. She just smiled and twisted Baoying's smooth cheeks and said: "Look,

I don’t know where this miscellaneous book came from. If Hongnong’s aunt and the others hear about it, they will inevitably have to ask about it——”

While speaking, Li Sui paused when he saw the smile in Bao Ying's eyes. Although it was only frozen for a moment and then returned to normal, Li Sui noticed something. He looked at Hui Rong standing aside.

, there seemed to be something inexplicable in the eyes looking at Baoying at this moment.

"Okay, let's go to Sister's place to say goodbye and go home. If we wait a little later for the sun to shine, it will be easier to get over the heat."

Li Sui suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to pull Baoying forward with a smile. Only in this way could he turn over this article.

By the time the two sisters bid farewell to Empress Yang, the sun had gradually climbed up, and the dazzling golden light fell on the eaves on both sides of the corridor. The shadows of chi beasts were printed on the floor tiles, and the carriages were walking slowly along.

It took a stick of incense to reach Xuanwu Gate. When the carriage was about to pass through the city gate, Li Sui, who was sitting in it, heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away. It seemed that he heard the sound of horse hooves gradually approaching when they were about to meet.

Slow down, I'm afraid I might miss their carriage this time.

Baoying seemed to be curious, and stretched out her hand to open the car curtain a little. When she saw the people outside, her eyes moved at first, and the next moment she turned her head to look at her, and let out a very low sigh: "This

The general is so young, if it weren't for this military uniform, he would look like a top scholar."

It's rare to see Bao Ying, who doesn't like to comment, praise like this. Li Sui became a little curious after hearing this, and then glanced at Bao Ying in front of him narrowly, and deliberately joked: "Our Zhou Dynasty has always been open, and every time the list is released.

It’s a good time for every family to choose a son-in-law. If you want to see it openly, just take a look. If you really like it, you might as well come to the city to choose a son-in-law. Wouldn’t it be a romantic and beautiful story——"

When Baoying heard the sound, her face turned red and she became embarrassed again. At this moment, she just stared at Li Sui anxiously, and then glanced at the soft curtain, which seemed to keep her silent.

Li Sui became more amused when he saw that the girl in front of him was like a shy little rabbit, her cheeks were as red as fruit, so he opened the soft curtain with the round fan in his hand to see who Baoying was praising.

What person.

She saw the Xiangfei bamboo, snow, sapphire and Qionghua embroidered fan given to her by Baoying. She opened the thin soft curtain, and the high-hanging summer golden light shot in instantly, sparkling on the window edge of the carriage.

Golden light, and in the golden light, a young man is sitting high on a horse, wearing a deep purple large silk robe decorated with chisels worthy of a feudal lord. The goldfish bag on the jade belt around his waist already shows the man's noble status.

, and the long sword attached to the saddle is simple and simple. It is not decorated with many pearls and jade like the men in the capital. It is only decorated with a plain white tassel. Even without taking it out of the sheath, you can feel that it is carrying a calm and compelling sword like its master.

Leng Feng.

At this moment, even Li Sui was stunned for some reason. The dazzling light in front of him seemed to give the man a gorgeous and solemn halo. His face, which was quite shocking to heaven, was as indifferent as water at the moment.

Hearing the curtain being lifted, he followed the sound and looked over. When he saw Li Sui's eyes paused for a moment, his thin lips moved.

"Princess, long time no see."

The man's quiet and thick voice rang in his ears, and Li Sui then remembered that if he felt restrained and cramped at this moment, he would look guilty. It would be better to just lift the soft curtain and say with a decent smile: "Prince Yuling, are you going to meet the Holy Spirit?"

Seeing Li Sui taking the initiative to ask questions, Zhao Yi's lips curled up a bit, and he nodded and said: "Gaochang in the Western Region and Western Turks have been frequently communicating with each other in recent days, and there seems to be something strange. Your Majesty called me into the palace today to discuss this matter."

"So, King Yuling will return to the Western Regions this time?"

"Exactly."

Li Sui nodded when he heard this and said casually: "Seeing that the Qiao Qiao Festival is approaching, it is also a major event in Chang'an. It is rare for Prince Yuling to return to Chang'an, and I am afraid he will not be able to see him."

Zhao Yi's brows moved slightly when he heard the sound, and his eyes seemed to look at the girl a little more carefully.

"Thank you, Princess, for reminding me."

I saw Zhao Yi looking seriously at the girl in front of him, and the next moment he replied: "This time, I will beg your Majesty to see if I can stay for a few days, so as to live up to the coming grand scene of Chang'an as the princess said."

After saying that, Zhao Yi held his whip and raised his hand to Li Sui, saying: "The emperor's orders are on my side, so I'll take my leave first."

Seeing this, Li Sui stopped talking to each other and nodded with a smile: "King Yuling, go slow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man let out a light chuckle, and the horse galloped away, leaving only a gust of wind that caused the soft curtain to fall again.

"So he is the Royal Prince who is allowed to ride horses and carry swords in the palace?"

Hearing Baoying's surprised voice, Li Sui turned around, nodded with a smile, and then pursed his lips towards the car curtain and said, "How about it? Are you worthy of being your son-in-law?"

Baoying seemed to have gotten used to Li Sui's teasing, so she no longer blushed. She just smiled and asked, "Prince Yuling is so prosperous and proud in his youth. I feel unworthy of him, but you -"

As Baoying spoke, he looked at Li Sui carefully and said, "I heard that Prince Yuling rarely visits Chang'an once. It seems that you haven't met much. How come today it seems like old friends and acquaintances? There are probably many of them."

I don’t know the stories that I can’t read in those miscellaneous books. When will you tell me about them?”

Baoying had been unspeakably silent since she mentioned the Hongnong Yang family. Now seeing her bright eyes joking with him, Li Sui couldn't help but feel relieved and followed his words: "You don't have to choose the time.

How about you come and sleep with me tonight, and how about we hold candles and talk at night."

While talking, the carriage was already moving leisurely forward again. Although Li Sui smiled, she couldn't help but think about it. I wonder if Zhao Yi heard what she and Baoying just said about the city's choice of a son-in-law.

But looking at his indifferent look just now, it must have happened between the curtains, right?

Speaking of which, who was the princess of Zhao Yi's previous life?

After Li Sui thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. He didn't know whether it was because she didn't pay attention to him in the previous life, or because his princess was not from a noble family.

After returning to the Taiwei's Mansion, Li Sui and Baoying paid homage to Li and others before returning to their respective courtyards to rest and not mentioning anything more.

At nightfall, the night breeze outside the window blew in slightly with the fragrance of flowers. Yang Hongying was copying something carefully with her right hand holding a wolf hair. When she stopped writing, she saw that she put down the pen and gently lifted the page. On the thin paper was

Yang Hongying raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction and asked, "What do you think?"

Qiulan and Qiu Zhi both looked over, and the next moment Qiu Zhi couldn't help but exclaimed: "What I copied is exactly the same."

When Yang Hongying heard this, she smiled, that's all.
Chapter completed!
