The streets are bustling, shops are lined up, and people of all kinds come and go, rubbing shoulders with each other.
On the terrace of the teahouse, a figure leaned lightly on the handrail, his eyes slowly falling on the crowd.
"Emperor...Sister, try this."
Xiao Jingyi took two strings of candied haws and handed one to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li only took a glance and blocked it away: "No appetite."
Xiao Jingyi came to her early this morning and tried every means to get her to take Xiao Li out to play.
Xiao Li is an ordinary person who has seen prosperity and technology. She has no interest in traveling around this world.
It is good to appreciate the customs and practices of ancient times as a tourist attraction, but if they really become reality, the worldly life you see is the life that others can’t get out of even if they try their best. And you stand on a high place and look down, and still say that the years are peaceful and the world is full of fireworks. It is simply ironic.
If you have the ability, try becoming one of the fireworks and see if you can still appreciate it.
Xiao Li doesn't think of herself as a pessimist, but she has never been an optimistic person, because she is just one of the insignificant people in the world. She worked hard to have everything she wanted, but she didn't have time to enjoy her achievements and was trapped in this book.
Who the hell can say "This cell is so beautiful" while in prison?
Xiao Jingyi had no idea that she was thinking such complicated things. If Xiao Li didn't eat it, then he could eat two skewers.
His eyes swept over Xiao Li's two hands wrapped in bandages, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
"New news, new news! I heard that Princess Xuanyang and her husband didn't divorce, and His Majesty held a banquet to persuade them to reconcile. This means they definitely won't divorce."
"Hey, you're behind on this news. The story has now reached another part. The prince consort and the princess are fighting again. This time, the prince consort is completely disfigured by the princess. The princess doesn't seem to be well either. She's even called in the imperial physician. It must be very serious."
"Oh my god, is this really happening?"
"Tsk, how can this be true? The prince consort was beaten to a bloody pulp before and still wanted to divorce. Now that the divorce can't happen, it's normal for them to fight again."
"No, you said that Princess Xuanyang is a delicate and weak woman, how come the prince consort, a grown man, can't beat her?"
Normally, the first thing that comes to mind when discussing this topic is that the princess is of noble status and the prince consort dared not fight back, but now everyone sighed when they heard this.
"Haha, that prince consort is useless, not even a man. Isn't it normal that he can't beat the princess?"
"No, didn't they say it was fake? The imperial physician confirmed that the prince consort is in good health?"
Those who defended the truth were instantly besieged.
"Oh, that's what the imperial physician said. Who knows if the Lu family bribed the imperial physician?"
"That's right. Scholars have to be proud. How can they dare to admit that they are useless? Of course they have to bribe the imperial physician to speak well of them."
"If that prince consort was really a man, how could the princess still be a virgin after three years of marriage? It's definitely not possible."
"No, this is something everyone knows. Why are you suddenly speaking up for the Prince Consort? Did you accept benefits from the Lu family?"
"Hurry up, take out the silver and treat everyone to a drink, otherwise this matter will not end."
The group of people were in a mess, and no one believed the man no matter how he explained that he didn't accept the benefits. In the end, he had no choice but to pay for the wine.
Xiao Li watched the whole farce on the building opposite, and a smile finally appeared on his cold face.
This group of people is so cute.
Xiao Jingyi, one of the few who knew the truth, felt in his heart that Lu Yanzhi would never be able to wash away this stigma in his lifetime.
---
Xiao Jingyi got some benefits, so he brought Xiao Li out today to relax.
Drink tea, enjoy the scenery, go shopping and watch a play, trying not to be out of line, but to make Xiao Li feel comfortable.
The two were enjoying the show when they heard a commotion downstairs and soon the audience ran out.
Xiao Jingyi's guards took a look and came up shortly afterwards: "Seventh Master, Zhao Yuan and Li You molested a girl together. It turned out that the girl was the Princess of Chen, so they were beaten by the Marquis of Pingnan and the Young Master of the Liu Family."
"Princess Chen?" Xiao Jingyi suspected that he had misheard.
Xiao Li, who had not cared much at first, finally turned around and vaguely remembered that there was such a plot.
Xiao Jingyi: "Sister, do you want to go and see it?"
Xiao Li stood up, raised his eyebrows with a malicious smile and said, "Let's go, isn't this more exciting than a play?"
Xiao Jingyi's mouth twitched, indeed.
The place where the accident happened is not far away, just across an alley.
There were many people watching, and the two were protected by their followers and squeezed in. The first thing they saw was two people being forced to kneel on the ground and apologize.
Xiao Jingyi introduced to Xiao Li that the fat man who looked like a steamed bun was called Zhao Yuan, and the thin man who was as thin as a bamboo pole was called Li You. They were from middle-class families, idled around all day, and were famous street urchins in the capital.
Xiao Li didn't care about their family background, but their figures were really eye-catching.
The two men were beaten up and had bruises on their faces. Although it was inappropriate, it was really funny.
The thin man lay on the ground and kept begging for mercy and saying nice things.
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the real you. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and I didn't recognize you, Princess. Please forgive me, Princess, and Prince."
"We will definitely reform and never do it again. Princess, Prince, and Master Liu, please give us a chance."
The fat man lay on the ground, whimpering and nodding, his face swollen from being beaten, unable to utter a word.
In front of them, two men in bright and noble brocade clothes were protecting a weak woman in white clothes. She was naturally Princess Liu Xueyin of Prince Chen.
The eldest son of the Liu family is Liu Xueyin's younger brother, and the son of Pingnan Marquis, whom Xiao Li knows, is the third male lead - Gu Ling.
Three years ago, Gu Ling was just the illegitimate son of Marquis Pingyang. He was hunted by the wife of Marquis Pingyang and was injured and hid in the Liu family. He was rescued and taken care of by Liu Xueyin. Later, he was able to kill the wife of Marquis Pingyang, bring his concubine's mother into the house, and became the prince.
He was grateful for the Liu family's kindness and had a crush on Liu Xueyin, so he protected her everywhere.
After Liu Xueyin became the queen, Lu Yanzhi silently guarded her here as the son-in-law, and Gu Ling saw that she had found happiness, so he chose to go to the border to protect the people of the world and also protect her.
What a beautiful love, but it’s a pity that she is Princess Xuanyang, a cannon fodder, and is not worthy of appreciating such a noble love.
"Xuan Yang." Liu Xueyin suddenly shouted, walked quickly to Xiao Li, looked at her sharply with a reproachful look.
The two people behind her also looked at Xiao Li with unfriendly expressions.
Liu Changge saluted in a fake manner: "Prince, Princess."
Gu Ling was obviously not so polite. His stern face was full of sarcasm: "Princess Xuanyang, I have long heard of your great name."
This name is obviously not a good name.
Xiao Li glanced at him sideways, nodded perfunctorily, and then said nothing more.
After watching the show, he turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Xueyin grabbed Xiao Li's wrist and said firmly: "Xuan Yang, I have something to tell you."
