The servant of the porter trotted forward, bowed to say hello, and held the reins of the horse. Xu Zhen flew off the horse, his posture was quite neat, and there was a hint of elegance of a scholar. Xu Zhen was not yet forty and his official residence was from the third rank, and he was absolutely in the court.
He was a young man, so he usually went to court on horseback. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he heard the sound of carriages and horses behind him. He turned around and looked back, and saw His Highness Mu Anzhi riding a dark horse, followed closely behind.
It was a palace carriage with seven treasures and six or seven guards, and they arrived soon.
Xu Zhen straightened his robes and came forward to greet him.
Mu Anzhi didn't have a good look towards the Xu family except Li Yuhua. Mu Anzhi raised his chin and snorted softly, and passed by Xu Zhen. Xu Zhen followed Mu Anzhi and asked, "I don't know why your highness is here."
?”
"Of course I'm here to see Sister Hua. Am I here to see you?"
Xu Zhen had seen Mu Anzhi's ability to curse. Xu Zhen didn't care at all about this disrespectful comment. He didn't say much and went to the inner house with Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi had been here twice, and he obviously had a good memory.
Yes, those familiar with the road directly arrived at Li Yuhua's small courtyard. Li Yuhua was sitting by the window drinking tea and looking at the roses. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps. Li Yuhua put down the tea cup and looked out of the window to see a face that looked a little yearning.
, some people who miss me.
Li Yuhua's eyes lit up, he waved his hand towards Mu Anzhi and called him with a smile, "Third brother, I was just missing you, and you came!"
Hey, it turns out that Sister Hua misses me so much! Mu Anzhi felt sweet in her heart, pointed at the six snack boxes in the entourage's hand, and raised her chin to indicate, "Grandma Huang asked me to bring you some snacks."
"Don't lie to me. Grandma Sun has taught me a long time ago that if the Queen Mother rewards me, there must be a servant from Ci'en Palace, and Xiao Yi is from your palace. It's obviously you who brought snacks to see me, why do you still need to borrow money from the Queen Mother?
Your Majesty, let’s talk.” Li Yuhua rested her elbow on the edge of the window and smiled inside the window.
Mu Anzhi stood outside the window, not embarrassed at all by being exposed. He said, "The things I took from the longevity dining room are not the things of the imperial grandmother."
"Did you come here on horseback?" Li Yuhua wiped Mu Anzhi's sweat with his own handkerchief, "It's July and the sun is poisonous."
As the girl raised her sleeves and spoke, a faint fragrance lingered. Mu Anzhi took the handkerchief from Li Yuhua's hand and wiped it himself. Xu Zhen coughed lightly and said, "Hua'er, let His Highness go in and talk.
"
Li Yuhua, "Father, when did you come?"
"My father came in with His Highness." Xu Zhen was amused. When Mu Anzhi turned to glance at him, Xu Zhen immediately said, "I'll ask the cook to arrange dinner, and you can entertain His Highness to have tea and rest." He walked away,
He didn't let Mu Anzhi choke him again.
Mu Anzhi snorted, "Old slippery man!"
Li Yuhua patted Mu An lightly and said, "Third brother, please come in and let's talk for a while."
Aunt Sun brought the tea that Mu Anzhi usually liked to drink. Yunyan saw His Highness the Third Prince more often and was not too afraid. She brought new fruits and brought them. A row of guards carried the food boxes into the house and followed them.
Grandma Sun's instructions were placed on the table of the Eight Immortals in the middle, and she retreated outside the room to wait.
Mu An said, "I'll bring you some snacks."
Li Yuhua didn't even need to think about it. It was because Fengyi Palace rewarded her with snacks today. Xiao Yi opened the food box and found a uniform four-layer square food box. Each layer opened had different snacks.
Mu An's way, "Jujube cake, cloud cake, plum blossom cake, crabapple cake, honey cake, money cake, mint cake, mung bean cake, Tiaotou cake, pine flower cake, Bazhen cake, osmanthus cake, rice bee cake
, bright pearls, spring silkworm silk, wishful cake, chrysanthemum cake, lotus cake, honey rose taro, flower cake, crystal cake, fat cake, three-layer jade belt cake, almond cake.”
Li Yuhua looked at these delicate and fragrant pastries and listened to Mu Anzhi's introduction. She asked, "Third brother, which one do you like to eat?"
Mu Anzhi waved his hand, shaking its tail feathers like a big colorful rooster, "This is what I brought for you to eat."
"I don't know which one is more delicious, so I'm just asking you."
Mu Anzhi gave Li Yuhua an eye-catching bright pearl, "The outside is inlaid with chicken rice heads. It's the season. Try it. It's not sweet or greasy."
Li Yuhua took a bite and it tasted really good.
Mu Anzhi handed her another piece of spring silkworm silk. This one was really made to look like a spring silkworm, and was wrapped in fine sugar silk. Li Yuhua said, "This is too much, and I can't finish it."
"Just try it. If anyone likes it, tell me and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
"That doesn't mean you should run every day."
"This is nothing, I can't run away for a few days. When we get married, I can just tell you what you want to eat." The one in Fengyi Palace who is always good at winning over people, Mu An is worried that sister Yuhua is young and will be deceived.
, I would rather work harder every day.
After Li Yuhua ate two pieces of snacks, he washed his hands with water and said, "The clothes I told you to make for you last time are ready. You can take a look first and see if you like it or not."
"So fast?"
"It was cut by Yunque and made by me." Li Yuhua said, "It's not embroidered, so it's not as exquisite as your previous clothes, so it's faster."
Yunque took out the clothes, two sets of snow-white inner clothes and a set of sapphire blue fine cotton outer robe. The stitching was even and carefully ironed. Li Yuhua unfolded it for Mu Anzhi to compare the shoulder width and waist length, and nodded, "They should be almost the same.
When you go back and try it, if there is anything inappropriate, bring it to me next time and let me know."
"It must be suitable." Mu Anzhi touched the material and said, "It looked good last time. How can cotton have such a texture?"
"Why not? We choose the best cotton, from spinning to weaving into cloth, without a single joint in the middle. Our cloth is not cheaper than the top-grade Hu silk." Li Yuhua handed the clothes to Yunque to fold, and quietly
He Mu Anzhidao, "Didn't you say you wanted to take me to the Imperial Capital Evening Market last time?"
"Sure." Mu Anzhi didn't want to stay at Xu's house any longer, so he agreed.
Grandma Sun asked Yun Yan to get a cloak. Mu An said, "I carry it with me in the car, and I also have Yuhua's. Grandma, do you want to rest in the house? There are a lot of people in the evening market, don't be crowded."
You old man."
Grandma Sun smiled, "I am less than fifty, but my body and bones are still strong."
"Then let's go together."
It was still Grandma Sun who followed Li Yuhua with Yunyan. Li Yuhua told Yunque, "We will keep two pieces of each snack in the house, and give some to other courtyards. If there is any leftover, leave a portion for Grandma Zheng, and you guys will share it."
"
Skylark responded softly.
Li Yuhua's eyes widened and he said with a smile, "Third brother, it seems to me that they are all fresh snacks. I can't eat them. The taste will be different tomorrow. I'll take advantage of you, Third Brother, and ask the people in the house to share the same snacks."
Mu the Queen Mother’s grace.”
"Since it's given to you, you have the final say." Mu Anzhi looked at Li Yuhua's pointed chin and small face, and his clear eyes seemed to be getting bigger. His shoulders were thin, and his waist was just a handful.
Mu Anzhi said, "You are too thin. I will take you to eat delicious food."
Li Yuhua nodded with a smile.
The three princes came and went like a gust of wind. Mrs. Xu breathed a deep sigh of relief when she heard Yunque coming over to report that the third prince was taking the eldest daughter out to eat. She also heard that Grandma Sun Yunyan was waiting beside her.
The wife then sent Skylark down, saying, "Thanks to Grandma Sun, the Third Highness's ability to come and go at the drop of a hat is always frightening."
Xu Zhen smiled, "Mom, just relax, Your Highness is just here to take a look at Yuhua."
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh and said quietly to her son, "They really hit it off."
"Perhaps it's destiny." Xu Zhen put his hands on his knees, thinking that although His Highness Mu Anzhi's current reputation is hard to describe, he scolded the little censor to death, and how to give it to his friends.
Pei Ruyu refused to embarrass Prime Minister Pei in person... It was basically something that a normal person could do. Xu Zhen said that young people are a bit reckless. However, being reckless and being stupid are two different things.
The Third Highness is well aware of marriage matters, and now it seems that the Third Highness will never give the Lu family any chance to win over Li Yuhua.
Li Yuhua has such a rapport with His Highness the Third Highness. With Li Yuhua's intelligence, he will not fall to the Lu family.
Moreover, looking at the two people just talking through the window, it is really not as simple as just liking each other.
Xu Zhen's eyebrows relaxed and he stood up gracefully, "It's dinner time now. I'll have dinner with my mother."
The Third Highness was invited by Sister Yuhua to ride in the car together. When they got into the car, Li Yuhua sat down on the couch in the middle. The Third Highness still sat by the window. Li Yuhua smiled and said, "Third Brother, we are all brothers and sisters, so don't sit by the window."
It's cool at night, so the wind blows in through the windows, so don't let the wind blow."
"It's okay, I'm not cold yet."
"I'm worried if you're not cold."
The tips of His Highness's ears felt hot. Thinking not to worry Sister Yuhua, he sat on the couch in the middle. Li Yuhua moved slightly to the side. The two of them were not sitting next to each other. Li Yuhua said, "I came in earlier."
I haven’t seen the Empress in the palace, but she suddenly sent someone to bring me snacks. Is it because of Aunt Zhu and Aunt Zhao?”
"You don't care what her reason is. That woman is full of scheming minds. Don't pay attention to her."
"Do you usually talk about the queen like this?" Li Yuhua has been doing small business since she was a child. Before coming to the imperial capital, she went to the state capital and managed the village workshop in her hometown. In addition, now that she has come to the imperial capital, she has even been to the palace.
I think I have seen a lot of the world. Li Yuhua has seen a lot of people who talk sweetly but don't mean what they say, and are posturing. Mu Anzhi, who goes straight without turning around, Li Yuhua has seen two people, one is Mu Anzhi, and the other is hers.
Friend Bai Muxiang.
Mu Anzhi didn't realize what was wrong, he said, "You will know when we get married. I never let people from Fengyi Palace enter my Yu'an Palace. If you don't deal with it, why should you pretend to be intimate? Why don't you just pretend to be intimate?
I won’t have to deal with it anymore, and I’ll be happy.”
"Not only is it happy, but since we know that we are not going to deal with her, she doesn't dare to tell us directly." Li Yuhua continued with a crooked eyebrow. Mu An's opinion was overturned by Li Yuhua, but he just smiled and asked Li Yuhua, "She will give it to you.
What snacks did you bring?"
"I didn't even look carefully, so I just sent them away from house to house." Li Yuhua's thin eyelids raised, "Don't tell me I'll eat all the snacks anyone gives me!"
"Okay! That's it!" Mu Anzhi praised Li Yuhua, "You have to have backbone! Your stepmother doesn't feel sorry for you, right?"
"We will get married in August. After the wedding, I will be a super-grade man. Why would she embarrass me?"
"You don't know that the Lu family has always been kind on the outside, but vicious on the inside. You should be careful."
"She doesn't dare." Li Yuhua laughed. Mrs. Xu has two sons and two daughters. She always thinks about her children before doing anything. If she dared to touch Li Yuhua, Li Yuhua asked her children to repay double the amount. With such an obvious weakness, how could Mrs. Xu dare to go against her?
.Besides, Li Yuhua said, "It's too late for her to be nice to me now. I don't know what people outside will say about her."
Queen Mother Lan said that "where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather." Mrs. Xu wished she could tell the whole emperor that they had not treated her badly. If she expected it to be true, the Xu family would have to give her a generous dowry!
"That's just superficial hypocrisy. You still have to be careful." Mu Anzhi warned.
"Well, I will keep what Third Brother said in mind and be careful."
"Whatever you want to eat, we'll eat it."
"This is my first time coming back to the evening market, and I don't know what kind of delicious food there is. Let's take a look first and then talk about it." As the bustle of hawkers outside gradually approached, there were also different aromas of food wafting into the carriage.
Li Yuhua couldn't help but look outside the carriage, and felt the carriage stop. Xiao Yi said outside, "Master, we're here."
Mu Anzhi got off the car first and reached out to support Li Yuhua by the side of the car. Li Yuhua stepped on the car stool with embroidered shoes. He looked up and saw the brightly lit Imperial City Evening Market in front of him. There were lanterns from countless shops, stalls, and lanterns picked by people going out.
The lights gathered together to form a sea of lights, lighting up the night sky of the imperial capital. Countless diners and pedestrians strolled leisurely in the evening market. Countless stall owners and shop owners greeted the guests politely and attentively. The aroma of the food came and came closer...
Li Yuhua exclaimed, "It's more lively than during the day."
"People are not necessarily free during the day, and they are more willing to come out when it is cooler at night."
Grandma Sun and Yun Yan came from behind. Li Yuhua got off the horse stool and suddenly took out a red rope. One end was tied to his own wrist and the other end was tied to Mu An's wrist. Li Yuhua said calmly, "I see there are many people in the evening market. Don't worry."
The crowd dispersed."
Mu Anzhi stared at the red rope on his wrist and nodded, "That makes sense."
