On the day of the holiday, Zhou Qi brought Lu Ding to Xiaoyueju to pay his respects early in the morning.

In the yard, Lu Yilan was picking cucumbers in the vegetable bed. Xu Roujia stood beside him and watched. In the kitchen where wisps of smoke came, Lu's cheerful voice came, and told her niece to pick up a few green onions later. The sun was bright but not burning in the morning. It was hot, and Xiaoyueju was shrouded in such sunshine, as if she was a paradise.

Zhou Qi stood at the door, feeling a moment of loss of consciousness.

Xu Roujia was helping to find cucumbers. The green melon was hidden among the same green seedlings. If you were not careful, you would really easily ignore the most suitable ones for picking. As soon as you looked up, you could see two teenagers at the door through the gaps in the seedlings. Lu Ding's sword eyebrows and starry eyes were already very handsome, but compared with Zhou Qi, he was like a star meeting the bright moon, losing his light.

"Cousin!" Xu Roujia smiled and waved to the two of them.

Zhou Qi did not respond and continued walking in.

Lu Ding asked with a smile: "Why are your aunt willing to give you some advice today?"

When talking about this, Xu Roujia felt helpless. She kept urging Lu to take care of herself. Lu did listen, but insisted on going to the field in person occasionally. This morning, she asked her and Lu Yilan to help pick vegetables. The reason was very funny, saying that she had a bad temper and might be driven out by King Chun one day. If she didn't practice now and gradually became a useless person, how would she make a living when she was really abandoned?

Lu Zhenzhen made a statement, but Xu Roujia couldn't resist it anyway, so she had to work obediently. But it was impossible to let her bend over and pick vegetables in the vegetable bed, and she was only responsible for commanding.

"Brother, cousin." Lu Yilan walked out with a small basket, looked at the apron around her waist, and she greeted the two embarrassingly.

Zhou Qi still had the cold expression.

Lu Ding looked at the basket in his sister's hand, picked out a small cucumber, and whispered: "I haven't eaten cucumber like this for a long time." Living in the royal palace, far from the vegetable patches in the fields, he could only eat chopped shredded cucumbers or diced cucumbers.

Unfortunately, only Lu Yilan understands his nostalgia.

Xu Roujia walked to Zhou Qi and asked expectantly: "Cousin, where are we going to play today?"

In her previous life, she lived in the palace and had wealth and prosperity, but she lacked some freedom. She only left the palace for a few times, either to come to her uncle's house or to the palace with the sage. Xu Roujia really didn't know what delicious restaurants and bustling shops there were in the capital.

Zhou Qi asked indifferently: "Where do you want to go?"

Xu Roujia considered it last night and immediately said: "Huayan Temple!"

She was going to worship the Bodhisattva, and thanked the Bodhisattva for giving her a second way of living. As long as her grandmother was willing to recognize her, it didn't matter if she was the princess or A Tao. It would be a profit to completely cut off her relationship with Xie Jin.

Zhou Qi nodded. It is better to go to the temple to burn incense than to go to the jewelry shop.

Xu Roujia talked with the two boys. Lu Yilan brought the newly picked cucumbers and green onions to the kitchen. Not long after, Lu led a few maids to bring the breakfast over. Knowing that his son would come today, Lu specially cooked her best soup bun, and a stack of green onions and tofu.

The soup bun is filled with thin skin, the shallots are white and tender with a little emerald color, and then put a plate of cold cucumbers, which is cool and tempting.

Xu Roujia secretly swallowed, Lu's cooking skills were really nothing to say.

"Auntie, my cousin wants to take us to Huayan Temple, are you going together, right?" Sitting next to Lu, Xu Roujia invited filially.

Lu wanted to go, but she was just an aunt, so how could she go out at will?

"You go and just burn incense for me." Lu smiled and concealed his regret.

Zhou Qi never participated in the chat at the dinner table and silently picked up a soup dumpling.

When Lu saw this, joy floated to the corner of his eyes.

As a mother, she didn't ask for much. Her son was willing to eat her food, so her son was healthy enough.

After the meal, Lu called his son aside uncomfortably.

"Is there anything wrong with my aunt?" Zhou Qi asked with a rare look at his mother's uneasy fingers.

Mrs. Lu looked at her son, coughed, quickly took out a purse from her sleeve, and handed it over and said, "Yilan A Tao is a girl. When you encounter something you like, you will inevitably want to buy it. If you are your cousin, don't let them pay for it. If you take this, your mother doesn't go out, and those cases are useless."

Only then did Zhou Qi realize that his mother wanted to stuff him money.

He pursed his lips. In his mother's heart, what kind of shabby life was he living?

"I have it." Zhou Qi lowered his eyes.

Lu immediately said, "I know you have it, but keep it for yourself. It's better to buy things for your cousins."

Lu also has her own little plan. She hopes that her son will be closer to her nieces and nieces. If she doesn't give her money to her son, her son will definitely not pay the bill for her nieces.

"Okay, they are all waiting for you, go and go." Fearing that his son would refuse again, Lu stuffed his purse into his son's hands and ran away like oil.

Zhou Qi did not move, only smiled bitterly after the sound of his mother's footsteps disappeared.

.

After breakfast, everyone walked out together.

A carriage was parked in front of Prince Chun's mansion, which was prepared for Xu Roujia and Lu Yilan, and Zhou Qi and others rode horses.

"Brother can ride a horse?" Lu Yilan asked in surprise when he saw the servant leading two horses.

Lu Ding touched his nose.

In fact, he only knows how to ride a donkey, but yesterday his noble cousin asked him if he could ride a horse. Lu Ding was afraid of being disliked by his cousin and lied to the point of being a fool.

But, it’s almost the same as riding a horse and a donkey?

Seeing Zhou Qi looking at him, Lu Ding quickly regained his natural expression and smiled and said to his sister: "I've done it a long time ago, I just didn't tell you."

Lu Yilan is half-believing and half-doubting.

"Come on, I'll help you get into the car." In order to avoid being questioned by my sister, Lu Ding urged me diligently.

"A Taoxian." Lu Yilan looked at Xu Roujia.

Xu Roujia's thin body contained a big girl's heart. In order to avoid unnecessary physical contact with Lu Ding, she handed her hand to Yuhuan in advance.

When Lu Ding saw this, he didn't think much about it.

The two sisters got into the car and after they got off, Lu Yilan quietly opened the curtain.

Xu Roujia also came over.

Not far away, Zhou Qi took the reins from the servant's hand, stepped on the stirrups, and raised his long legs and turned over, making him elegant and elegant.

The boy is tall and has a cold face, but he is handsome and handsome.

Lu Yilan couldn't help staring at him.

Zhou Qi noticed something and turned his head casually. Seeing Lu Yilan blushing and hurriedly avoiding it, Xu Roujia beside her was looking at him thoughtfully.

Behind him is Lu Ding.

Lu Ding was a little nervous. The horse in the royal palace was fat and strong, and it seemed different from the donkey he had ridden.

If you fall down...

Lu Ding subconsciously looked at his two sisters, but ended up facing Xu Roujia's black almond eyes.

You can't let your sister laugh at it!

Recalling the action of riding a donkey, Lu Ding silently shouted for himself in his heart, grabbed the saddle and turned upwards. However, the horse and donkey were different. In addition, Lu Ding was too nervous and the horse just stood still, so he almost lost his balance. The staggering staggered, so scared Xu Roujia screamed: "Be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ding thrust his waist and sat firmly!

Riding on the horse, Lu Ding tried hard to cover up his slightly trembling hands and grinned at Xu Roujia: "I haven't rode for too long, I'm unfamiliar."

He smiled honestly, and was completely different from the irritable guards in his previous life.

Xu Roujia wanted to laugh, but she could see clearly just now that Lu Ding didn't look like he had ridden a horse at all.

"Then brother, ride slowly." Xu Roujia instructed in a soft voice. Since accepting the task given to her by her grandmother, Xu Roujia has been preparing to live in the royal palace for two or three years. In the past two or three years, since she was as Tao's identity, Xu Roujia wanted to treat the three Lu aunts and nephews as relatives.

"I know." Lu Ding said with a smile.

"Set out." Zhou Qi suddenly ordered the coachman indifferently.

Xu Roujia sat back in her original position obediently.

Lu Yilan lowered the curtains and continued to peek at Zhou Qi through the gap.

Xu Roujia reminded her: "Sister, you are so unruly, and your cousin may be angry when you find out."

Lu Yilan no longer hates Xu Roujia, but that doesn't mean she will take the persuasion of her sister who is used to being domineering. She whispered: "Why, after being a princess for a few days, I really thought she was really a noble person. Little girl, she dared to teach me a lesson."

He kindly reminded her not to listen, so Xu Roujia ignored Lu Yilan and sat upright.

The carriage gradually came to the main street, with shops on both sides of the street, and the noise was endless.

Lu Yilan was so interested in watching that the corners of her mouth were curled up.

Xu Roujia felt itchy and endured for a moment. She secretly picked up the curtains on her side.

It happened that the carriage passed by a silk shop, and the storefront was filled with women and girls. Both of them were attracted by a piece of material and were yelling and yelling around.

Xu Roujia saw this scene for the first time.

"Isn't it inconsistent with the rules?" Lu Yilan suddenly stabbed her.

Xu Roujia pretended not to hear it.

Lu Yilan smiled and pulled Xu Roujia to watch the fun of her.

Xu Roujia first saw Zhou Qi on the horse's back. It was early June, and the morning sun was bright and bright, but Zhou Qi still had a cold face. Many women on the street pointed at him and whispered to him. Zhou Qi seemed to have never heard or seen him.

"A Tao, what do you think of my cousin? Why do you have a tense face every day?" Lu Yilan asked Xu Roujia in a low voice.

Xu Roujia is not the roundworm in Zhou Qi's belly, how could he know what he thinks?

But Xu Roujia believed that Zhou Qi had never shown such a pure heart and desire.

The eldest cousin Zhou Yi is also both civil and military, and is also the legitimate son of the palace. Zhou Qi can make his uncle feel that he is more suitable, so he must have made many plans in secret.
