marry the princess

Chapter 84 Xicheng
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and she was going to enter the palace tomorrow, these few days Su Leyan seemed to be living a very leisurely life, she spent every day in the Shuixin Pavilion, flipping through books when she was bored, or playing with a few pots of flowers and plants in the house .

On this day, Su Leyan was holding a volume of pages and reading on the small couch in the corridor, and soon finished flipping through another book.Shuixin Pavilion originally did not store scrolls, but later a tall bookshelf was erected in Su Leyan's room, full of scrolls, all of which were scriptures and different books. After flipping through a few volumes, Su Leyan Then he discovered that these scrolls were the ones he had seen in Mo Yixuan.

The scrolls were sent by Wei Lie suddenly, and Su Leyan didn't pay much attention to them all the time. She thought that it wasn't because she broke into Murong Huayi's study, and he didn't want to disturb there again, so she prepared some books. It was Murong Huayi who hated her for touching these books, so he simply didn't want them all and moved them here. Anyway, Su Leyan loved these books very much in her spare time.

"Miss, although the weather is getting warmer, the chill is still severe. Miss, let's go look inside."

Qingyue watched Su Leyan read outside for several hours, the cool breeze was faint, she couldn't help worrying about Su Leyan's body.

"It's okay, you can see the outside scenery here, the room is too stuffy."

"Then I'll bring you some ginseng soup to warm up."

Qingyue was about to leave as she spoke, Su Leyan put down the scroll and called her back, "No need, the warmth from this foreign object is only temporary, I'll just get up and walk around."

As soon as Su Leyan got up and left, she walked out of the Fourteenth Palace.

"Miss, you will enter the palace tomorrow, this..." On the way, Qingyue couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"It's just going out to relax, don't be nervous."

When going out this time, Su Leyan changed into very light clothes, and her hair accessories and makeup were very simple. Not long after she went out, she got out of the carriage and walked in the market with Qingyue, without attracting the attention of the crowd. Among the crowd who were rejoicing and preparing for the New Year's Eve, Su Leyan was relaxed and at ease.

It is rare to have such a free moment.

Su Leyan didn't go out of the mansion very much in the past - firstly, she had no reason to leave the mansion, and secondly, she was not qualified to leave the mansion freely.As early as when she was in the General's Mansion, she was warned not to leave the mansion. Although she was a princess when she married into the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion, she also knew that her status was low and she was not qualified to do what a princess could do. Now she is a little more relaxed and free. There will be no hindrance to leaving the house.

The end of the year was approaching, and the streets were very festive, even more lively than what she had seen on the day of the Lantern Tour.

The end of the year is always the busiest time of the year. People put aside the trifles of the year and celebrate it for two or three days. It is the biggest festival of the year. For Su Leyan, this festival is even more so .

In Xicheng, where the poor gather, it is only at the end of the new year that the pressure of difficult life will be temporarily put down, so that you can rest for a few days, buy some delicious dishes that you are reluctant to eat on weekdays, and the family will get together to celebrate the new year.At this time in previous years, Su Leyan would spend the whole day in Luocaotang preparing the New Year's stuff with the children, and Xiaozuo would pick a time to come and bring one or two noisy children who wanted to go out with them at night in the imperial city. Take a stroll.

There were crowds of people around, Su Leyan looked at her, her eyes suddenly emptied, as if looking at the scene in the past, her footsteps paused for a long time without moving a step, Qingyue called her two or three times by her side, and she was relieved from the memory .

"What's wrong, miss?"

Su Leyan smiled weakly, "Suddenly I feel weak."

Qingyue was worried about her health, "The market is busy, Miss should go back to the palace and have a good rest, before entering the palace tomorrow, don't fall ill."

Su Leyan smiled, "It's not easy to get tired so easily. If you're worried, why don't you go to the medical center and find a doctor to have a rest?"

"How can the doctors outside compare to those in the palace?" Qingyue objected, "Let's go back to the palace earlier."

"Forget it, let's go back." Su Leyan couldn't resist, so she had to obey her, "I'll just stay here in the teahouse, ask the coachman to bring the carriage."

Su Leyan said that she was waiting in the teahouse, but when Qingyue came back with the coachman driving the carriage, she was nowhere to be seen in the teahouse. Noticing when Su Leyan came and when she left, the coachman and Qingyue panicked, and hurriedly searched around again, but they still didn't see Su Leyan.

When they were anxiously looking for Su Leyan, Su Leyan had already rushed to the west city.

After a year, she finally had the chance to come back to the place she cared about.

Su Leyan came back with her face covered, and saw that the old and dilapidated Caoluotang had been completely renewed, and it was much stronger than before. It was around the end of the year, and people living nearby were going to the market. Su Leyan didn't encounter anything along the way. People, she was also worried that she would disappear for a year for no reason, and now she would be surrounded by neighbors asking this and that when she came back suddenly. She didn't meet anyone she knew well, which made her feel a little more at ease.

Although the place is poor, Su Leyan has lived here for many years, and has a lot of affection for this place. In a year, except for the refurbishment of the Caoluotang, there are almost no changes.

Su Leyan was afraid of attracting others' attention, so she just watched from a distance for a while and then turned to go to the house she used to live in. To her surprise, she thought that the house that had been abandoned for a year should be dirty and messy, but she didn't expect the house to be cleaned well It was clean and there was no smell of dust, as if someone had lived in it all the time, but she took a closer look and found that there was no sign of life other than being clean.

who is it?

Su Leyan sat down at her small table, feeling doubts in her heart as she touched the unstained surface.

But at this moment, the door that she pushed casually after entering the door was suddenly pushed open, Su Leyan was startled suddenly, she jumped up, and fixed her eyes, it was three children who broke into the door.

"Sister Le Yan!" "Sister Le Yan..."

The three children cried out when they saw Su Leyan, surprised and excited.

"Little Fatty, Xiaoxue, and Xiaolian..." Su Leyan looked at them, "Why do you..."

"The fat aunt next door said that she saw someone who looked like Sister Le Yan at the intersection, so we ran over to have a look, and it turned out that Sister Le Yan had returned." As soon as Xiaoxue entered the door, she rushed over and hugged Su Leyan, looked up at her, The bright eyes looked a little aggrieved, "Where did Sister Le Yan go for so long? Don't you want us?"

Su Leyan showed some embarrassment on her face, and reached out to touch Xiaoxue's two long braids.

"Where did Sister Le Yan go, why didn't she come back for so long?" Xiao Lian, who was still short-haired, pouted her baby fat face and stared straight at her with round eyes, "We don't know Le Yan When did my sister disappear? I haven't been able to find Sister Le Yan for a long time. I thought that Sister Le Yan was taken away by the bad guys. Brother Xiaozuo doesn't know where my sister is..."

Hearing them mention Xiaozuo, Su Leyan felt even more guilty.When she left without saying goodbye, it was the most unfair to Xiaozuo. He knew he had something to hide, but she left suddenly without telling her anything. Xiaozuo must be very worried about her, but she couldn't explain anything to Xiaozuo.

"Brother Xiaozuo often comes to Caoluotang to teach us how to read and write. Brother Xiaozuo cleans Sister Leyan's residence. Brother Xiaozuo said that if Sister Leyan came back, it would be a good place to live..."

Su Leyan looked around the room, feeling uncomfortable.

"My sister had to travel far away because she was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to tell you..."

Su Leyan comforted them, but Xiaopang was not very satisfied with Su Leyan's comforting, pouted, "Didn't Sister Leyan live alone all the time? Where are you going when you go out? Why are you so anxious that you can't just tell us?" Gone? After such a long time, we haven't even sent us a letter... We are already literate, doesn't Sister Le Yan believe that we can read letters?..."

Xiaopang asked Su Leyan speechlessly.

"Okay, isn't my sister back now?" Su Leyan could only coax them with a smiley face, "Sister went away, of course there is a reason for my sister, but my sister didn't tell you, it's my sister's fault that there is no news for so long, my sister asked Are you apologizing?"

"Then what did Sister Leyan do? Why didn't you tell us?"

Xiaopang's persistent questioning made Su Leyan a little stuck. She hadn't made up a reason for how to hide it from them. Her return this time was only temporary. She will leave soon, and maybe she won't be able to come back for a long time.

While Su Leyan was hesitating about how to answer, Xiaopang frowned, "Is sister Leyan married? I heard from Aunt Fat that women will marry in the future, and they may have to marry far away." If you go somewhere, you seldom come back.”

Su Leyan smiled awkwardly, Xiaopang had listened to some nonsense.

"It's the end of the year, are you busy at home? Why do you all come here?" Su Leyan quickly changed the topic.

"Sister Leyan, go to my house." Xiaoxue took Su Leyan's hand, she was very happy because she saw Su Leyan, and forgot about other things in a blink of an eye, "My mother prepared a lot of delicious food this year, sister Leyan Let's go to my house and play together."

"Sister Leyan is back now, will she still teach us to read in Caoluotang?" Xiao Lian also took Su Leyan's other hand, "I like sister Leyan, although Brother Xiaozuo is also very kind to us , but Brother Xiaozuo often has to go out to practice medicine, so he can’t accompany us most of the time. Xiao Lian likes sister Le Yan and wants sister Le Yan to teach us. Sister Le Yan should also come to my house. My family also has a lot of delicious food this year, Xiao Lian Mother's cooking is delicious, and Sister Le Yan will definitely like it."

While Xiaoxue and Xiaolian were muttering, Xiaopang ran out at some point, but Su Leyan didn't notice, just thinking about how to deal with these two little girls.

She can't come out for too long, if Qingyue can't find her, she may hold up the coachman for a while, but she doesn't have much time to spend here.
