The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

"Sister Ankang! You must remember that you must not reveal your identity!" Standing in front of the gate of the Du Mansion, Li Chengqian continued to remind him.

That's right, Li Chengqian is here again, and this time with a small oil bottle beside him. It is Princess Ankang, one of Taizong's most beloved princesses. Yesterday in Chengqing Hall, after listening to the conversation between Taizong and Li Chengqian, this person The little princess who grew up as a little ghost began to grind hard, and finally Taizong agreed that she would come to the Du Mansion with Li Chengqian.

Princess Ankang glanced inside the open door, and said obediently: "Got it! Brother Prince!"

"Didn't I tell you! Don't call me the prince's brother, call me the eldest brother, just like ordinary people!"

Princess Ankang stuck out her tongue mischievously, and said with a smile, "I got it! I got it! My elder brother is as naughty as a queen mother!"

Li Chengqian was helpless when he saw that this younger sister was unrestrained, and even arranged for the eldest grandson empress. Because Princess Ankang lost her mother when she was young, no matter who was in the palace, she felt a little pity in her heart. I like this fourteenth sister.

Outside the mansion, Li Chengqian brought Princess Ankang to visit, and inside the mansion, Du Rui was also preparing to take his younger sister out.It is early spring now, the spring in the north is still dry, the weather is very clear, there is no pollution in this era, the sky is that kind of pure blue, like a large piece of top-quality sapphire, the clouds are also pure white, and the air carries The faint fragrance of flowers permeates along with the warm wind.

This season is a good time to go out for an outing. After staying in the mansion for so long, Du Rui also felt bored. Yesterday, I heard from Du Pingsheng that there were many young masters from aristocratic families, famous Shuyuans, by the Weishui River, and it was very lively.When Du Rui heard the words, he was moved. Early this morning, he asked Du Gui to prepare the carriage and go for an outing.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Du Rui saw Li Chengqian's brother and sister, as well as the two guards of the East Palace who accompanied Li Chengqian every time he came.

"Brother!"

"Chengming!" Seeing Du Rui, Li Chengqian bowed his hands with a smile and said, "It's a coincidence that you came here for brother? Is Chengming going out?"

Du Rui nodded and said: "I've been bored in the mansion for a long time, so I want to take advantage of the warmth of spring and go out for a walk. If you're interested, brother, you might as well go with me!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment. Every time he came to the Du mansion, Empress Changsun would worry about his safety. If he went out, he might be reprimanded after returning to the palace.

"Brother! Go! Go!" Hearing that he was going out to play, Ankang immediately became interested and kept encouraging him.

In fact, Li Chengqian also wanted to go out. He grew up so big. Apart from hunting in the green when he was king in Zhongshan when he was young, since he was the prince of the East Palace, his words and deeds were watched by the officials and servants of the East Palace. This Chang'an city has never been out.

Two rows of weeping willows are planted on the banks of the Weishui River, and new shoots have sprouted at this moment, and the light yellow and tender green are quite lovely.Li Chengqian and Princess Ankang still followed. Once outside the city, Li Chengqian, who seemed to be precocious on weekdays, immediately showed his childlike disposition. Looking at the happy life of willows by the river, he ran over to pick a few branches and gave them to Ankang Gong. The editor-in-chief made a small wreath, with a few small yellow flowers hanging among the tender green willow buds, which is also unique and lovely.

Princess Ankang wore it on her head, and ran to the water's edge to take photos for a long time, giggling happily, and went to pick a lot of wicker, insisting that Li Chengqian help her weave some more.

Du Yunlian looked hot, and asked Du Rui to do it for her. Du Rui was so noisy that she had no choice but to run over to pick some willow branches and wild flowers, and weave a big wreath for Du Yunlian. Du Yunfu, Yunzhuo, and Yunxi also helped the three sisters, and even Baochai, who came out to serve, did not leave Daiyu behind.

As the crown prince of a country, Li Chengqian is required to be perfect in every word and deed, and it is rare to have such a leisurely time. Besides, the little sister Ankang is really likable, and she has always been everyone's favorite in the palace. All the stars were picked off to please this clever little girl.

Coupled with the fact that Du Rui, a close friend, was by his side, Li Chengqian played with everyone in a relaxed and happy mood.

Walking to an open place, Baochai took out the paper kite newly made by Du Rui yesterday, and ran on the grass with the four young ladies and Princess Ankang whom she just met, yelling and having fun along the way.

After playing around, the little ones were also tired. Du Rui called Du Gui who was accompanying him, and took out a food box. There was a sandwich in the box, and hot water was placed underneath for heat preservation, and some food was placed on the top. Du Yunlian and the others like to eat all kinds of snacks, and there is also a pot of fruit wine newly brewed by Du Rui. Now this fruit wine has already gained a reputation in Zuixianlou, and it is deeply loved by those famous ladies. , hawthorn, crabapple and peony pistils are brewed, the concentration is not high, poured into the cup, the color is like amber, a light smell, it has a rich fragrance, condensed but not scattered, the taste is slightly fruity, Even children can drink a little.

Seeing that Du Rui brought this out, Du Yunlian's gaze became more intense. When Du Rui just made this kind of fruit wine, she secretly drank a small cup. Ever since she drank this fruit wine, she couldn't forget it. But because of her young age, Du Rui kept a close eye on her. Even if Du Rui was not paying attention and sneaked a drink occasionally, it was not enough for her to satisfy her cravings.

"Third Brother!" Du Yunlian blinked her eyes, pretending to be well-behaved and pitiful.

"I can only have one drink!" Du Rui hesitated, stretched out a finger, and shook it in front of Du Yunlian.

"There are so many more here, at least five cups!" Du Yunlian grabbed Du Rui's sleeve and shook it coquettishly.

"That cup is gone!" Du Rui was unmoved, and said firmly, he was not afraid that Du Yunlian would be unhealthy if he drank it. In fact, this kind of fruit wine with hawthorn has the effect of strengthening the stomach, but Du Yunlian really It's not good to drink alcohol at such a young age.

"Does the third brother want to go all alone again?" Du Yunlian gritted her teeth angrily when she saw Du Rui's non-negotiable appearance, and there was a bit of resentment on her pretty face, "Okay, just one cup The third brother is the most stingy!"

"I want it too!" Princess Ankang came closer and smelled the sour-sweet taste, she immediately got excited and clamored for a drink, "I want to taste something good, I haven't tasted this sweet taste yet. Sweet wine!"

Du Rui had already guessed that this little girl, whom Li Chengqian called Qin Ankang, was the most beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong, Princess Ankang. Seeing that she was clamoring for a drink, Du Rui was also embarrassed, and looked at Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian asked about the peculiar smell of wine, he moved his index finger and asked, "Isn't this wine intoxicating?"

Du Rui said: "Drink less, it won't happen, it just makes my sister young~~~~~"

Li Chengqian heard that he would not be drunk, so he said: "That's fine!"

Hearing this, Du Rui had no choice but to pour a cup for Princess Ankang and pass it over.

Princess Ankang cheered, grabbed the cup, drank it contentedly, and smiled with eyes like crescent moons.

"I only know how to drink by myself, but I don't thank your brother Du's family!" Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pampered Princess Ankang to tidy up some messy hair, and said with a smile.

"En! Thank you, Brother Du!" Princess Ankang smiled, stretched out the cup, and said, "Brother Du! Ankang wants more!"

Du Rui looked at Li Chengqian helplessly again, seeing that Li Chengqian hesitated for a while, but still nodded, Du Rui had no choice but to pour another cup for Princess Ankang.

"Hmph! Big Brother is really biased!" Du Yunlian immediately looked depressed when she saw her.

"Hehe!" Princess Ankang glanced at Du Yunlian proudly, suddenly pointed in a direction, and said loudly, "Why are there so many people over there, brother, let's go and see, okay?"

Princess Ankang's eyes were sharp, and she saw a lot of people standing in front of a small pavilion. Someone had already put down the cushions and sat on the floor. Dozens of people separated in twos and threes, talking loudly. There seemed to be a few women in the pavilion, all dressed in spring clothes, talking and laughing Yan.

"Chengming! Go and have a look!" Li Chengqian stood up as he spoke!

"Then go and have a look!" Seeing this, Du Rui also stood up, greeted his younger sisters and Baochai, and Daiyu and others followed.

Du Rui looked over and guessed that there were probably some high-ranking scholars going out with their family members. It's nothing to go and have a look, but it's just a chance to learn about the customs of Tang Dynasty.
