In the afternoon, the sun was slightly drenched, and the chirping sounds of oriole birds came from in front of the court.

Under the window, Tao Ti and Lu were sitting opposite each other on the couch, and the two chatted happily.

At this time, Linglong walked in slowly, bowed a salute, and said respectfully, "Mrs. Cishi, the long follower of your house is spreading a message outside the hall, saying that it is late, and your lord calls you home. ."

Hearing this, there was a trace of shame on Lu's face, he turned his head and glanced at the dimming light outside the window, and suddenly said, "I didn't expect to talk about this hour."

She looked at Tao Ti apologetically, "Prince Princess, this is really annoying to you today. It's easier to talk when you get older."

Tao Ti smiled and said, "Where, I'm very happy to chat with Aunt Lu, I still don't have enough intentions at the moment."

"Your mother really taught a good daughter. I must write a letter to argue with her when I go back. How could she not be satisfied with such a good daughter? If the three **** in my family are as caring as you, I'll be high. Fragrant." Lu Shi joked, got up from the couch and tidied his robes.

Tao Ti also stood up and personally delivered Lu Shi to the door, "Aunt Lu, go back soon, don't let your adults wait for a long time."

Lu Shi smiled and bowed to her, "Then I'll leave first, the prince, you will have a good life and recuperation."

Tao Ti watched her. Just about to turn around, she saw Pei Yan walking towards Fu Xirui. Tao Ti was startled and stopped, with a smile on her face, waiting for him.

Lu's side hadn't gotten into the soft sedan chair. He glanced and saw a handsome man in a silver-gray brocade approaching him, and he shook his head for a moment.

The **** beside him reminded, "Madam, this is your Royal Highness."

Lu's hurriedly recovered, and paid a salute to Pei Yan, "The minister's wife Lu paid a courtesy to His Royal Highness, His Highness Jin An Wanfu."

Pei Yan originally walked directly towards Tao Ti. Hearing this greeting, he paused and said warmly, "No gift."

Lu Shi stood up and couldn't help but raise his head and glanced twice—

Like, it's so alike.

Especially these delicate eyebrows are exactly the same as Yuan Yuan.

Other parts, such as the tall nose and thin lips, are like Emperor Zhaokang, a bit more profound and majestic.

Lu's suddenly understood why Emperor Zhaokang loved the prince so much. First, the prince was his and Yuanyuan's child, and secondly, the prince looked so much like Yuanyuan and like him.

Lu Shi retracted his gaze without delay, got into the soft sedan and left.

Pei Yan walked up to Tao Ti and asked, "You chatted with Mrs. Cishi for an afternoon? You are tired. If you don't love these entertainments, you can push it next time."

Tao Ti smiled and said, "Sitting and chatting will not be tired, and Aunt Lu is very nice, so I am very happy to chat with her."

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, "Aunt Lu?"

Tao Ti nodded, "Yes, Aunt Lu and my mother are good friends..."

After a pause, she raised her eyes to look at him, "I am also good friends with the first queen."

Pei Yan's thick eyelashes drooped, and said lightly, "That's it."

I didn't mean to ask more.

During the festival, Tao Ti did not want him to remember the sad things, stretched out his hand to hold his sleeves, and led him in, "Your Highness, you have agreed to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival together. Come! I'll give it back. You left two zong leaves, and you also come to wrap a zongzi."

Pei Yanqian smiled, "Okay."

Tao Ti took him to the small kitchen and demonstrated the steps of making rice dumplings.

Pei Yan is very smart, he can learn it as soon as he learns it, just like making dumplings last time, he made an egg yolk meat dumpling just like the last time he made dumplings.

Tao Ti exaggerated herself, let the rice dumplings be cooked, and then pushed Pei Yan to take a bath.

Pei Yan looked at the sky that was still dark, and lowered his eyes questioningly, "I will take a shower now?"

"Hmm!" Tao Ti lifted his sleeves, revealing a white and tender arm, and stretched it straight in front of him, his clear eyes gleaming, "Your Majesty, you smell it."

Pei Yan, "...?"

But he bent over and sniffed it lightly.

Unlike her usual sweet scent, this is a faint medicinal scent.

Pei Yan stood up straight and said softly, "Did you bathe with wormwood?"

The corner of Tao Ti's eyes bends, "Well, it's boiled with cypress leaves, lilies, big wind roots, wormwood, calamus, and peach leaves. It has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and keeping good health. Your Highness, go and wash it, I Let them leave you a big bucket."

Fu Xirui was hesitant to speak, and His Royal Highness never used these things to bathe, and he didn't have such a habit in previous years. But if the prince refused the kindness of the prince, the prince would be so sad.

At this moment, he heard the prince say, "Okay, go take a bath alone."

Tao Ti nodded, and said mysteriously, "I have a gift for you when you finish bathing."

Gift, after bath...

Pei Yan's deep gaze fell on her small white porcelain face, and when he touched her clean black eyes, he knew that he was thinking too much.

He raised his hand and rubbed her hair, smiling calmly, "Okay, I am waiting for your gift."



When Pei Yan finished bathing, the sky was already dark, the sky was full of glow, and the early summer night revealed a warm warmth.

Pei Yan changed into a robe of tea and silver silk with dark patterns and bunches of flowers. His Ufa was fixed with a hosta. He was tall and slender, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, which was truly stunning on earth.

Tao Ti likes to see him wearing light-colored robes. He has a kind of celestial and noble temperament. Even the immortals of the nine heavens can't compare to him.

She was admiring the beauty here, Pei Yan walked slowly to her, bending her eyebrows, and asked, "Ati, where's the lone gift?"

Tao Ti blinked Shui Lingling's big eyes and said softly, "Your Highness, stretch out your hand."

Pei Yan stretched out his hand in cooperation.

Tao Ti took out a five-color long-life strand from his sleeve, and lifted his sleeve up again, but with this lift, she was stunned—

Two red ropes are already tied to his cold and slender wrist.

As a result, the long-lived strand Tao Ti was holding in his hand was a bit embarrassing.

"His Royal Highness, you..." Tao Ti replied.

"Ati is going to tie a long life to the lonely?" Pei Yan's voice is sweet and gentle.

Tao Ti nodded, "Yes, yes...I made up this myself...but you have already tied your hands..."

Pei Yan gave a low laugh, stretched out his hand to untie one of the red ropes, and said, "Ati, tie the long life thread for Gu."

Watching his actions, Tao Ti couldn't help but wonder, which little lady gave him the two red ropes? But what did he untie the next one?

Either one is puzzled, or both are taken off.

She became depressed inexplicably, but seeing him stretched out her hand, she tied it to him for fear that he was tired, but she was not so happy.

Pei Yan looked down at the long-lived strand on his wrist, very satisfied, and immediately, he took Tao Ti's hand.

Tao Ti, "???"

He said, "There are back and forth." Then he tied the red rope to her white and tender wrist.

Tao Ti was a little confused, "This is..."

Pei Yan smiled casually, "I beg from the temple, keep it safe."

Tao Ti's black eyes flickered, and his fingers flicked across the rope. Are you safe?

Yeah, what are you looking forward to.

She shouldn't have been tempted by Pei Yan. She likes someone who is destined to be fruitless, which is stupid.

Seeing her staring at the red rope and not speaking, Pei Yan raised her hand and rubbed her hair, and said, "Let's go, I will take you to a place alone."

Tao Ti was surprised, "It's so late, where else are we going? And we haven't eaten dinner yet."

Pei Yan held her wrist, "I'll know when I go."



The Lingxiao Tower is the tallest pavilion in Luoyang Palace. There is a large terrace on the top of the building. Standing on a high place, overlooking the wind, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Palace.

In the summer night, the wind blew gently, and a long huanghuali wooden table was placed in the Bisha cupboard. On the table was a large plate of rice dumplings, various pastries, fruits, drinks and dishes.

"Wow, it's great here! Sitting here for dinner, it is cool and comfortable." Tao Ti looked surprised and leaned against the railing. She wanted to lean on the railing for a view, but the tofu dregs railing of the boat was painted last time. It left her a psychological shadow, and she didn't dare to rely on it anymore, just stood aside and admired the scenery in front of her.

The palace is brightly lit, and when seen from a high place, there is a kind of fascinating beauty.

When she saw it almost, Pei Yan waved to her, "Ati, come over for dinner first, don't be hungry."

"Okay." Tao Ti responded crisply and returned to the table to sit down.

The rice dumpling that Pei Yan made before was also cooked. He picked it up and handed it to Tao Ti, "Ati, eat it."

Tao Ti was stunned and shook his head, "Your Highness, this is the first zongzi you have packed by yourself, you can eat it."

The corners of Pei Yan's lips were slightly bent, and he picked up another zongzi from the crystal plate, "I eat the zongzi from Ati alone, and Ati eats the zongzi from the solitary package."

He had said so, Tao Ti was not easy to refuse, so he took the salted egg yolk meat dumpling.

The egg yolk meat dumplings are warm, and the fragrance of the rice dumplings is mixed with the aroma of fresh meat, which makes people mouth-watering, especially the golden salted egg yolk and sand powder in it, paired with the oily and soft glutinous rice, the taste becomes more and more delicate, and the tongue tip It's all the savory flavor of egg yolk meat.

The night breeze is blowing, and the green gauze is flicking. In the dark sky, a few stars are shining brightly.

The two of them ate rice dumplings and pastries together and drank realgar wine, chatting sometimes and admiring the scenery.

At this moment, there was a "boom" from the horizon—

The next moment, a colorful firework exploded between the dark sky, the streamer flew around, and then gradually fell, the stars, like rain and fog.

Tao Ti was a little confused after drinking a few glasses of wine. Now seeing the movement, her eyes lit up, and she even sat upright, exclaiming, "Fireworks!"

Pei Yan looked sideways and saw her surprised little expression, and a smile appeared in Peach Blossom's eyes.

Clusters of fireworks continue to bloom in the sky, blooming like thousands of trees, like dreams and illusions, and beautiful.

Tao Ti's excitement subsided a bit, and turned to look at Pei Yan, "His Royal Highness, did you arrange these fireworks?"

Pei Yan chuckled, "Do you like it."

"Pretty, I like it!" Tao Ti nodded his head vigorously, his eyes sparkling.

At this time, another silvery white and purple firework bloomed in the sky. Tao Ti excitedly pulled Pei Yan's sleeve, stretched his fingers, and turned to him and said, "His Royal Highness, look at this one, this one is so beautiful! "

Pei Yan is leaning on the soft cushion, holding a white porcelain wine glass in his hand, under the changing light and shadow, his clear brows and eyebrows reveal a bit of languidness, and his cold white jade face is faintly red with the smell of wine, and his eyelashes are thick. Next is a gentle smile...

Tao Ti looked dumbfounded, so beautiful.

What kind of fireworks to watch? Beauty is 10,000 times better than fireworks.

She can understand why "the imperial concubine is drunk" has become a classic scene describing beauty. Pei Yan's slightly drunken appearance is really...criminal.

Perhaps her gaze was too hot, Pei Yan slowly raised her eyes and looked at her quietly with deep eyes.

Tao Ti, "..." It's bad.

She subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Pei Yan held her wrist.

Tao Ti smiled dryly, "Hall, Your Highness?"

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Your eyes are talking to Gu."

Tao Ti, "...?"

Pei Yan stared at her deeply, as if reading her mind, suddenly the corner of her eyes curled, "It's saying'I really want to kiss him.'"

Tao Ti, "!!!"

No, she is not, she is not, she...

Okay, she admitted that she did greedy his face, but... how did he tell? Is she acting so obvious?

When Tao Ti's brain was in a mess, the man suddenly leaned in front of her.

The distance between the two suddenly shortened, and she could clearly smell the faint fragrance of herbs on his body, and her heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

Pei Yan closed his eyes, his lips curled slightly, "Come on, kiss."
