In the fifth year of Jinghe, it was the third day of May.
Two days later is the Dragon Boat Festival. In Jingguo, although the Dragon Boat Festival is not as grand as the New Year Festival, Lantern Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still one of the most important festivals.
On the fifth day of May, people eat rice dumplings, hang mugwort and calamus on their doorsteps, and drink realgar wine... These are all customs in the Gyeonggi area.
On every important festival, the court would allow officials to rest for at least half a day, and the common people would often choose to put down their work and relax. At this time, Goulan is a good place for them.
Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, the most popular play in the Goulan is "The Legend of the White Snake". On the Dragon Boat Festival, the white snake drank realgar wine and revealed its true form, frightening the souls of many immortals to return to the underworld.
, staged a drama of rescuing her husband from the underworld... This drama was both timely and appropriate to the occasion, and was deeply loved by the audience.
However, when people in Kyoto walked out of their homes early in the morning and wanted to go to Goulan to watch a show, they were shocked to find that Goulan was gone!
A notice was posted at the entrance to Goulan, the door was closed, and many people were blocked outside.
"That's great, why do you say it's so close?"
"I watched a few shows there a few days ago, why are they gone today?"
"Inexplicably, the Goulan store on the next street was closed. I walked half the street, but I didn't expect that this place was closed too..."
…
While people were talking about it, someone from the shop next to Goulan poked his head out and said, "It was closed yesterday. Don't you know? Most of Goulan in Kyoto is closed. It seems like it is being moved somewhere. If you want to watch a show,
, you have to walk two more streets..."
After learning about this, many people couldn't help but sigh. When there were not many Goulan in Kyoto, they didn't think this place was so good. Later, the number of Goulan gradually increased, and the plays inside became better and better. In the past two years,
They have long been used to it, and now that they have returned to the days of the past two years, they always feel that something is missing around them...
After walking two streets and walking towards another street, I finally realized that something was missing.
We visited most of Goulan, and many of the shops on the street were closed. I don’t know whether they were completely closed or temporarily closed...
It seemed that overnight, the entire Kyoto became empty...
…
On the palace wall, a figure stood silently for an unknown length of time.
A palace maid came up from below, put a robe on the girl's shoulders, and advised: "The prince has been away for two days, and it is windy here. Princess, you should go back early..."
Since the first day of May, the girl who has been standing on this city wall for a long time every day for the past two days smiled and said: "Stand here, you can see the farthest. If he comes back one day, I will look far away."
I can see it..."
She glanced to the west again, turned back, and asked, "How are things going in the academy?"
The palace maid nodded and said: "Your Highness has made all the arrangements for the princess, but where can we find the princess, the teachers and students of the academy?"
She smiled and said: "Of course I have to find the teachers and students for the academy that my husband gave me..."
Qinzheng Hall.
Li Xuan pushed open the palace door, stretched out, rubbed his head that was a little swollen from processing the memorial, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he really wants to delegate all government affairs to Mingzhu and become a free emperor, but if Mingzhu is too tired, the guy will definitely settle the score with him next time he sees him...
It is better to offend the King of Hell than the King of Jing, but this risk cannot be taken.
"Leave just now, you unloyal guy..." Li Xuan sighed. After he left, there was no one around him to talk to.
Suddenly something occurred to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Shen Shu, it seems that he has not seen this guy for a long, long time.
As soon as he walked out of the palace, a eunuch came up to him and asked, "Your Majesty..."
Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go to Prime Minister Shen's residence."
Not long after, the concierge of Shen Mansion in Kyoto scratched his head and asked in surprise: "Sir, are you sure you have not found the wrong person?"
A young gentleman looked at him, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
The young master in front of him was full of nobility, and the concierge did not dare to offend him, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Sir, there is no one named Shen Shu in our Shen family..."
The young master was stunned and said angrily: "That's nonsense. He clearly said that he is from your Shen family..."
The concierge had a bitter look on his face. When he saw someone coming out of the house, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Third Young Master, this Young Master said he was looking for a man named Shen Shu, but there really is no one named Shen Shu in our house. People..."
The young man who came out of Shen's Mansion looked at the dazed young master opposite and asked, "How do you write the name of the person you mentioned?"
"Shen is the Shen of your Shen family, and the number is the number of numbers."
The young man cupped his hands and said: "Brother, I'm afraid you are looking in the wrong place. There are many people named Shen in Kyoto, but in our Shen Mansion, we really don't have the person named Shen Shu that we are looking for... "
"Really not?" Li Xuan asked uncertainly.
The young man nodded and said, "Really not."
The expressions of the young man and the concierge did not seem to be fake. Li Xuan swayed. He and Shen Shu hit it off and became friends. He said that he was from the Shen Mansion. He had never doubted it or verified it. He had never I thought about it, he actually even lied to him about his identity.
In the huge city of Kyoto, there were only two people who could be called his friends.
Now one has abandoned him and left, and the other...the other one is actually a fake?
"Haha..." There was a self-deprecating smile on his face, and he didn't want to stay here for long, so he turned and left.
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly a soft voice came from behind.
Li Xuan turned around and saw the woman named Shen Su walking out of Shen's mansion.
Shen Shu once said that Shen Su was his sister, and Shen Su did indeed say in the palace that day that Shen Shu was her brother. So, were they all lying to themselves?
"You..., come with me." Shen Su glanced at him and walked aside.
Li Yi followed her and walked over, with an unkind expression on his face, and asked in a cold voice: "Is there anyone named Shen Shu in your Shen family?"
"No." Shen Su shook his head and said.
A trace of anger appeared on Li Xuan's face and he asked: "Then you said before..."
Shen Su suddenly looked back at him and asked, "Has anyone ever said you are stupid?"
Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "No."
Li Yi just said that he was stupid, but stupid was not stupid...
Shen Su looked at him and said, "You are not only stupid, you are also blind."
"you……"
In this world, that guy is the only one who dares to point his nose at him and scold him. How can a king of a country allow a woman to insult him? Li Xuan pointed at her and was stunned. His whole body suddenly trembled and his expression changed drastically. Looking at her in disbelief, she stammered: "You, you, you..."
Shen Su looked at him and said in the same low and magnetic voice as before: "Yes, I am my brother..."
…
Morning Dew Hall.
"To hold the sword firmly, hold this position for a quarter of an hour..." Li Mingzhu held Shouning's hand, adjusted her standing posture, and then walked back into the hall.
Several officials from the DPRK had been waiting for her there for a long time.
A middle-aged official cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the drought in the south..."
Li Mingzhu waved his hand and said: "As for the drought in the south, the Minister of Finance will first discuss a specific plan and then submit it..."
"This..." The middle-aged official was stunned, raised his head, and looked at her with some confusion.
The following always encountered problems that could not be solved. If they were brought to His Highness, they would soon find a solution. This was the first time that he had seen His Highness solve the problem again.
"The imperial court gives you a salary, not so that you can submit it whenever something happens..." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said: "You are the pillars of the imperial court, and it is still up to you to handle state affairs. If something happens, just submit it." , who will you present it to when I am no longer here?"
Not long after, several officials walked out of Chenlu Hall dejectedly.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is half the owner of this court. Her Majesty is neglecting government affairs, so the state affairs will naturally be handed over to her. How could she not be here in the future...
As the auxiliary princess, where else could she go if she was not in the palace?
