Unknowingly, Li Yu and his mother had been staying at the Prince Consort for five days, and Li Yu had been staying at the Prince Consort's Mansion these days. Although his body recovered very well under the care of his mother, there was one thing. Ouyang Lan kept watching Li Yu and prevented Li Yu from running around. During this period, Li Yu's eldest brother Li Longzhan visited Li Yu several times and brought some gadgets to Li Yu. But playing with these gadgets is not as fun as playing by yourself! This made Li Yu very depressed. He finally made a trip home to the bustling city of Kaifeng, but he was not allowed to go anywhere. This made Li Yu very depressed. Now Li Yu's only activity is to hang out in the Prince Consort's mansion, so a new idea pops up in his little head. He has been in the Prince Consort's Mansion every day in the past few days, and has almost explored the terrain of the Prince Consort's Mansion. He knew that there was a place with the lowest wall, and he could jump out using his own Qigong.
Li Zhentian and Ouyang Lan happened to be invited out tonight, and Zhao Shu and Jian Xin naturally went with them. Li Yu planned to take this opportunity to run out and take a walk. Li Yu sneakily walked to the edge of the wall in a corner of the Prince Consort's Mansion, looked at it, and said, "This height is almost the same as the height where I was locked up in the woodshed. I just went out for a while and came back soon. Yeah!" I cheered myself up and jumped. The wall was about one foot high, but it was not as rough as a woodshed. The wall was very smooth, as if a layer of oil had just been poured on it. Li Yu slid down and fell to the grass on the ground. Fortunately, he This jump is not high, so it is okay to fall.
Li Yu lay on the grass and muttered: "Why is this wall so slippery!" Then he got up and touched the wall. It was as smooth as a bronze mirror, but it didn't reflect light. Li Yu was a little frustrated. He heard footsteps coming this way, so he hurriedly hid in the flowers.
Today's moonlight is covered by some scattered clouds, and the light is not that bright. Li Yu vaguely saw a person, not tall, dressed as a servant, holding a basin in his hand, which seemed to contain some clothes. I walked to a well and started fetching water to wash clothes.
Li Yu thought to himself: People are quite pitiful now. They have to wash their clothes by themselves.
The servant was concentrating on washing the clothes and was completely unaware of Li Yu's presence. But after Li Yu observed it for a long time, he felt that this person's figure was very familiar, and his breathing and voice didn't sound like a man, but like a girl. So Li Yu walked out of Huacong cautiously and approached from behind that person little by little.
This man was a little tired from washing clothes, so he stopped to rest and brushed the sweat from his forehead with his hands. However, he felt a little confused and felt as if someone was spying on him, so he turned around and took a look. "Mom!" When he turned around, he saw a dark figure behind him. He was so frightened that he fell sideways to the ground and asked in horror: "Who are you?"
Li Yu took a closer look and said, "It's you!" Then he stretched out his hand to pull Fang Xiaolan down on the ground.
Xiaolan took Li Yu's hand and stood up, took a closer look at Li Yu's face, frowned and said, "You're here at night to scare people!"
Li Yu raised his eyes slightly and said, "Not really. I wanted to jump out."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan lectured: "You're still jumping. Are your injuries healed? What will you do if something happens again?"
Li Yu said a little aggrievedly: "Why are you like my mother? I'm bored here and no one plays with me."
Xiaolan said: "You can come out and play when your injuries heal. Now you have to take good care of your injuries."
Li Yu looked at Xiaolan, then at the basin on the ground, and said, "You come here to wash clothes? And why are you wearing these clothes? These should be worn by boys."
Xiaolan said: "I have been here for a few days. My mother and I have been taking care of my younger brother Shitou, and we haven't had time to wash clothes. Now Shitou's health has improved and he can get out of bed and walk around now. I plan to come and wash clothes." ." He squatted down and continued washing, "I asked Miss Hanxiang to borrow clothes, but the only clothes that fit my body were this servant's clothes, and there were no girls' clothes, so I will wear this first, and wait for the clothes to be washed. Change it back again."
Li Yu said "Oh" with a clear face, and then asked: "Then why do you come here to wash? You can just let the servants wash."
Xiaolan sighed and said: "I'm no better than you. We are here because of your great kindness. How can we bother your people to wash my clothes? There are too many people in front of me, and I don't care. I'm embarrassed to fight them. I know there is a well here and there are few people, so I come here to wash clothes."
Li Yu squatted down and watched Xiaolan wash clothes.
Xiaolan said sincerely: "Thank you very much for what happened that day. I have been busy these past few days and I haven't even thanked you properly. How is your injury now?"
Li Yu said proudly: "It's just a skin injury, it doesn't matter."
Xiaolan said: "You are so brave. There were so many people taller than you at that time, but you dared to help us."
Li Yu said: "Didn't I tell you that you still owe me a few pieces of mung bean cake. You have to accompany me."
While Xiaolan was washing clothes, she said, "I will definitely compensate you in the future."
The two of them were speechless for a while, and Li Yu just watched Xiaolan washing clothes quietly. Xiaolan said with envy: "Your mother is so amazing! And... she's also very beautiful."
Li Yu said: "Of course my mother is beautiful!" Then he said quietly: "But she is also very scary when she gets angry."
Xiaolan smiled and said, "She is angry. I think it must be you who is angry with her."
Li Yu said innocently: "No!"
Xiaolan said a little sadly: "You are so kind, you have good food, good housing, and such wonderful parents."
Li Yu said proudly: "My parents are the most powerful parents!"
Xiaolan smiled bitterly and said, "If my father was still here, wouldn't this happen?"
Li Yu said: "Didn't you say that your father can't be found?"
Xiaolan said: "I believe my father just got lost with us. He must be looking for us too."
Fan Yu said: "What is your father like?"
Xiaolan said with some pride: "My father is also a very powerful man, very strong, as strong as an ox. My father can cultivate such a large piece of land at home without the help of my mother and me." ." Then he took out a yellow folded triangle hanging around his neck. On the front was the red word "The whole family is safe" and on the back was the word "lan". He said, "This is what dad bought for us at that time. The amulet! I, my mother, my father, and my younger brother all have it! I believe that my father will definitely come back to find us."
Li Yu looked at it and said, "I also have amulets. I have a lot of them! My parents bought them for me too."
Xiaolan stuffed the amulet back into her clothes and said, "That's different!"
Li Yu said disdainfully: "What's the difference?"
"It's different just because it's different!" Xiaolan had already washed the clothes, wrung them dry, put them in the basin, and said, "I've finished washing the clothes. I'm leaving."
Fan Yu reluctantly said: "Don't leave! Leave now! Then no one will play with me!"
Xiaolan hesitated and said, "It's getting late. I'm afraid my mother will be worried if I go back too late!"
Li Yu said: "Anyway, we are in the Prince Consort's Mansion, it's okay!" Then he took Xiaolan's hand and went to play on the rockery. He also told Xiaolan that he was caught by Hua Feng, and then went to talk to his cousin Liu Zhitian. Something about fighting. Xiaolan listened with great interest.
Li Yu asked Xiao Lan to play hide and seek with him, and Li Yu asked Xiao Lan to catch him. Xiaolan was not particularly willing at first, but she couldn't get over Li Yu, so the two started playing. As they played, Xiaolan gradually gained energy, and the two children chased each other near the rockery.
The two played for a while. Because Li Yu was good at martial arts, Xiaolan could not catch him. She was tired and panting. Then she sat on a stone platform on the rockery to rest and said, "No more playing. You know martial arts." I won’t play anymore.”
Li Yu sat next to Xiaolan and smiled. Xiaolan closed her eyes and felt the breeze blowing against her face, then looked up at the starry sky. The breeze blew away the floating clouds in the sky, and a bright moon hung high in the darkness. The moon tonight was a waxing gibbous moon. Xiaolan was sweating from playing, so she took off the headband, and her black hair turned from a ball into a shawl. Xiaolan shook her hair with her hands, and then tied it into a ponytail with the headband. Her white jade teeth were exposed when she gasped. Under the moonlight, her delicate face looked even whiter and brighter, and there was an indescribable beauty between her eyebrows. Li Yu on the side looked at it crazily, imprinting the picturesque scene in his heart.
Xiaolan felt that she was not so tired anymore, and said to Li Yu: "It's getting late, I really have to go back."
Li Yu came to his senses and said, "Let's play some more!"
Xiaolan said: "It's too late. You should go back earlier. Don't let your mother worry."
Li Yu said: "My mother and father are inviting them to dinner tonight, and they are not here anymore."
Xiaolan pouted and said, "Then my mother should worry about me!"
Li Yu didn't say anything, and Xiaolan said, "Let's play together if we have time in the future. I'll go back first." She picked up the basin and walked to the guest room in the backyard.
Li Yu could only nod, looked at Xiaolan's walking figure, ran over, and said, "You must keep your word! Let's pull the hook!"
Xiaolan smiled and hooked up with Li Yu. Li Yu muttered: "If you hang yourself with a hook, you will not be allowed to change for a hundred years!"
Xiaolan said "hmm", picked up the basin and left. Li Yu looked at Xiaolan's leaving figure and felt a little disappointed in his heart for some reason, so he walked towards his room.
At this time, Li Zhentian and Ouyang Lan were invited by others and came to Zuichun Tower again. After getting off the carriage and walking to the door of Zuichun Tower, a young boy came up respectfully and said to Li Zhentian and his wife, "It must be Master Li and Mrs. Li. My master is already waiting for you inside, please come in."
