When Li Shushu woke up the next day, she suddenly remembered the last time she and the Emperor rode a sword to pick flowers, and she became worried again.
Flying a sword is too scary. She has developed side effects and doesn’t want to fly a sword anymore. What should she do?
She was worried and put on her clothes slowly...
Ao Yan dressed before her and stretched out his big hand, ready to pull her out. Seeing that she looked troubled, he asked in confusion, "Shu'er, what's wrong with you again?"
Li Shushu quickly straightened her clothes and obediently placed her small hand into his large palm. "Emperor, if, I mean if, you don't want to fly the sword, is there any other way to get down the mountain?"
Ao Yan raised his eyebrows, remembering the scene of the two of them flying swords together last time, and couldn't help but smile, "It's okay, this time, I will hold you."
"No." Li Shushu shook her head like a rattle. Just being pulled by him and standing beside him made her heart pound. If she were to be carried all the way by him in broad daylight, she would be so embarrassed that she would die.
"I mean, is there any other, more compromising way?" Li Shushu emphasized.
Knowing that she must be needlessly shy again, he felt even happier. He pretended to ponder for a moment and replied, "Not that I haven't..."
"Huh?!" Li Shushu's eyes lit up.
"鵸駼" the emperor called softly towards the back of the house.
Suddenly, a colorful bird flew down from a tall tree behind the house.
Li Shushu had seen this tree before, but he didn't pay close attention to it. He only knew that its crown was quite dense and lush.
But she had never seen this big bird before.
Perhaps it was because the leaves of the tree were too dense, which normally blocked the view quite tightly.
The 鵸駼 was a bird with three heads and six tails, and its shape was quite strange.
If the Emperor had not been by his side, Li Shushu would have mistaken it for a monster and would have run away in fear.
However, now that the Emperor was here, she felt a little braver.
"How about we take this 鵸鶴 down the mountain?" the Emperor said, pointing at the bird.
Although the bird was much larger than other birds, it was not large enough to accommodate two people at the same time.
"This... isn't it the same as flying a sword?" Li Shushu was a little confused. The only difference was that one had hair and the other didn't, woo woo!
Could it be that the Emperor thought that she was just afraid of the smooth sword and that was why she couldn't stand steadily?
The truth is, the props were too narrow and the speed was too fast, so she couldn't stand steadily and was afraid of falling!
"Shu'er, that's not the case. Look." The Emperor pointed at the 鵸鲥 again, and it instantly grew larger...
The bird's back was very spacious and flat. Li Shushu estimated that there was enough space for him to lie on it even if he wanted to.
Only then did she nod in surprise and feel relieved.
Ao Yan put his arm around her waist and said jokingly with a doting look on his face, "If Shu'er doesn't leave soon, I'm afraid the shops will be closed by the time we reach Yunmeng Town."
Li Shushu: ...
"Let's go, let's go now."
After settling down, I heard the bird let out a long whistle and flew straight into the sky...
Unexpectedly, the speed was so fast that Li Shushu naturally screamed in fright again.
Fortunately, this time the Emperor held her tightly in his arms, giving her a sense of security. She quickly calmed down and began to appreciate the scenery of the clouds high in the sky.
In order to conceal their whereabouts, the Emperor ordered the pirates to dock them at a remote corner of the city wall.
Afterwards, he took a look at the makeup on the two people...
With a wave of his sleeves, the two changed their clothes on the spot.
Li Shushu had her hair combed into a hanging bun with a few small pearl hairpins inserted in it. She wore a lotus-shaped flower on her forehead and a pink gauze skirt, which made her look smart and cute.
The Emperor also changed into the moon-white robes that were common among young masters of noble families. His long silver hair had turned black at some point, and was half-tied up with a jade hairpin, with the rest hanging down his back.
Li Shushu turned his head and looked at her. Only four words flashed through his mind:
He held a folding fan in one hand, but with the other, he never let go of Li Shushu's left hand.
At this time, it was not yet lunch time, so the two decided to take a walk along the street first.
Today should be the market day in town.
The streets are bustling with activity.
Li Shushu was very excited because he hadn't been down the mountain for a long time.
She pulled Ao Yan and jumped up and down on the street, touching this and looking at that.
Of course, I bought all kinds of barbecued pork cakes, sugar figurines, and candied haws.
Passing by the old couple's wonton stall, Li Shushu was relieved to find that business was still booming.
But she did not go up to recognize the couple. After all, she could not stay with them forever. Since she could not accompany them for a long time, it was better not to start.
When we arrived at the door of Tianxiang Tower, it was lunch time.
Various aromas wafted in the air at the entrance of Tianxiang Tower, instantly arousing Li Shushu's gluttony.
They smiled at each other and walked straight in.
"Waiter, bring out one portion of all the delicious food in your store." Li Shushu ordered generously.
"This?..." The waiter was probably frightened by her, "Sir, there are only two of you. Our restaurant has at least a dozen or twenty kinds of delicious dishes. Are you sure you two can eat them all?" He confirmed cautiously.
Li Shushu felt a little embarrassed by the question. She smiled awkwardly and looked at the Emperor, "That seems a bit too much, huh? How about we serve one portion each of the top ten delicious dishes?"
The waiter was still surprised and disgusted: "Ten servings? I'm afraid you two can't finish it..." As he spoke, he looked at the emperor with sincere eyes: "My dear, please advise your wife... Frugality is a virtue!"
