Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 22

After receiving Gao Ming's promise, Li Mingda seemed very happy, and even ate an extra bowl for dinner. Looking at her cute little face with rice grains on it, Gao Ming felt his heart was full of satisfaction.

Such a lovely sister, how could I let her marry?

Thinking of this, Gao Ming was startled suddenly, so he kept convincing himself in his heart.

"I'm not a sister-in-law, I'm not a sister-in-law, I'm not a sister-in-law..."

After dinner, Gao Ming asked Su Wan'er to go for a walk together as usual, but this time before he went out, he felt his right arm being hugged. The first time he saw it, it turned out to be his cute little sister Li Mingda.

Looking at her smiling face, Gao Ming couldn't help but smile too.

"Si, are you going to go for a walk with us?"

"Ok!"

Seeing her resolute look, Gao Ming could only smile and nodded.

"Okay, let's go together this time."

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming walked out of the East Palace with his arm around Su Wan'er and Li Mingda's hand in the other.

Su Wan'er's face was tender, and when she saw Li Mingda beside her, she quickly patted Gao Ming's big hand on her waist, but it was obviously futile, Gao Ming still went his own way, making Su Wan'er blush.

Li Mingda also saw Su Wan'er's pretty face, which was as red as the sunset glow, and she was smart and immediately spotted Gao Ming's big hand that was "making trouble", and immediately burst into a "giggle" smile.

Faced with the little girl's laughter, Gao Ming triumphantly raised his eyebrows at her, as if to show off, but Su Wan'er was extremely ashamed, and after breaking free from Gao Ming's big hand, she covered her face and ran away.

Seeing Su Wan'er running away, Gao Ming suddenly shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Hey... run away!"

Li Mingda, who was standing beside Gao Ming, saw this scene and imitated Gao Ming's manner and shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey... run away!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other, and then laughed together.

Although Su Wan'er ran away halfway, Gao Ming didn't intend to go back home just like that, but took Li Mingda's little hand and began to wander around the palace.

Now Gao Ming is almost familiar with the imperial palace, although he still can't name some palaces, but it is not impossible to find the way back to the Eastern Palace.

Now that he was almost familiar with the roads, Gao Ming no longer deliberately took which route, but took Li Mingda to wander aimlessly in the palace.

The two talked and laughed as they walked, and they came to the imperial garden of the Forbidden Garden without knowing it. Looking at the small pond at the top corner of the garden, Gao Ming was immediately amused, and took Li Mingda's hand and walked over.

"There is actually a pond here, let's go and have a look!"

The area of ​​this pond is only about tens of square meters. It is considered a small pond. The water in the pond is also very shallow. Some red and black carp swim around in the crystal clear water.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming smiled and nodded.

"Not bad!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Mingda also laughed.

"This is Father's favorite fish and algae pond. It's not a big deal now, but it will be beautiful when the lotus blooms in summer!"

As soon as Li Mingda finished speaking, Gao Ming's eyes widened in surprise.

"Si, did you just say that there are lotus in this pond?"

Seeing Gao Ming's surprised face, Li Mingda was a little puzzled, but still nodded.

"Yeah, brother, don't you know?"

Faced with Li Mingda's question, Gao Ming just smiled "hehe".

"forget!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming immediately took off the robe on his body, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and jumped into the pool with a "plop". Looking at the water that was about to reach his knees, Gao Ming suddenly laughed .

"Hey, the water is really shallow."

Seeing this scene, Li Mingda was stunned immediately.

"Brother, you are..."

Gao Ming didn't answer Li Mingda's question right away, but stretched out his hand to touch the pool. After a while, he pulled out a thing from the mud under the water with a happy face, and then dipped the mud on it into the pool water. wash off.

Under the washing of the pool water, a large section of snow-white lotus root soon appeared in Gao Ming's hands, and he immediately raised his head towards Li Mingda on the bank of the pond and laughed.

"Sizi, today my eldest brother will tell you a truth, where there are lotus flowers, there are lotus seeds, and where there are lotus seeds, there are lotus roots!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming took the lotus root in his hand and brought it to his mouth to bite down, then "crunched" and began to chew, nodding while chewing.

"Refreshing and delicious, much better than those wrinkled and old radishes."

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming handed the lotus root in his hand to Li Mingda.

"Come on, Sizi, you can try it too!"

At this time, Li Mingda also came back to his senses, took the lotus root from Gao Ming's hand with a happy face, followed his example, took a bite of it, and then smiled sweetly.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming also smiled at her.

"How is it? It's better than carrots, right?"

Li Mingda nodded immediately.

"Ok!"

After getting her affirmative answer, Gao Ming became happier immediately, and smiled with a broad grin.

"It tastes better when it's cooked, I'll make some more."

As he said that, Gao Ming started digging in the mud. Fortunately, these lotus roots didn't grow very deep. After a while, Gao Ming got out more than a dozen lotus roots, washed them casually, and threw them to the shore.

It stands to reason that a dozen lotus roots are enough to eat, but Gao Ming is not the kind of selfish person. He believes in the principle that "it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together", so he decided to get more, so that the female officials in the East Palace Also try something new.

After a stick of incense, when more than 30 lotus roots were placed on the shore, Gao Ming put his hands away in satisfaction, and then raised his feet to go ashore.

But just as Gao Ming raised his feet, he suddenly stopped, because he found that the group of carp in the water were poking out their heads, panting on the surface of the water with their mouths wide open.

Gao Ming figured out what was going on in an instant. It turned out that during the process of digging lotus roots just now, the water in the entire fish and algae pond had been completely muddied by him. The originally clear pool has now become extremely turbid. In muddy ponds, the carp in these waters naturally popped up under the lack of oxygen.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming's eyes lit up again.

"God help me too!"

Therefore, Gao Ming took back his foot that was going to step onto the shore, and happily caught fish in the pond.

"There are also lotus root and fish. It seems that God destined me to eat lotus root and carp soup, hahahaha!"

At this time, Gao Ming's mood can be said to be extremely good, and his movements are much more nimble. As long as there is a fish headed, he can immediately catch it and throw it to the shore.

Gao Ming's hands were busy catching fish, and his feet were not idle. When he was in the middle of catching fish, he vigorously used his feet to stir up the water in the pond to make more turbidity, so that more carp would emerge for him to catch.

And Li Mingda on the shore was not idle either, at this time she did not know where to get a cloth bag, every time Gao Ming threw a fish, she quickly put the fish into the bag, although she was so busy that she was sweating profusely, But the smile on his face couldn't stop.

For Li Mingda, today is really very happy!
