After the first fool

Chapter 109
In the early morning of the next day, Mo Xiaoran woke up early. Maybe it was because people were in good spirits on happy occasions. She stretched herself refreshed. He changed into a dark robe with wide sleeves and narrow waist. He wore a silver-white jacket and vest, and a pair of black riding boots with gold trim. Three thousand blue silks were tied into a ponytail and tied behind his back. His features were beautiful. With a small face, a whole body of righteousness, and a hint of luxury, people can't help but praise him, what a gentleman in troubled times.

A folding fan was pinned to her waist, adding a touch of suaveness to her.

Xiao Zhu opened the door and was stunned by Mo Xiaoran's new look, "Miss, do you want to wear men's clothing?"

"Yeah, it's convenient for a woman to disguise herself as a man." Mo Xiaoran pulled the corners of her mouth lightly, showing a faint smile, which made people feel like the spring breeze was blowing on her face. If she was really a man, how many girls in the world would be embarrassed. Its heartbeat, its madness.

"What's the matter, you made me look stupid because of your young lady's handsome appearance?" Mo Xiaoran hooked her neck in a naughty manner, leaned close to her ear, and pretended to be ambiguous and gently kissed her face. Blowing out a breath, Xiaozhu trembled slightly, and the blush on his cheeks quickly spread towards his ears.

"Miss!" Xiao Zhu stomped her feet in embarrassment, how did Miss become, become so... frivolous?
"You should call me young master instead." Mo Xiaoran pulled out the folding fan at her waist, and there was an exquisite money bag hanging on the exquisite ribbon, and she knocked on Xiaozhu's forehead with the folding fan, "Don't make a mistake, let's go." , I will take you out of the palace for a stroll."

Why does this sound like going out of the palace to walk the dog?Xiaozhu's mind was full of black lines. Originally, she thought that she would encounter many obstacles along the way. After all, like Mo Xiaoran, who changed into men's clothes and sneaked out of the palace openly, since ancient times, she was probably the only one. However, on the way The maids and eunuchs I met all turned a blind eye to her weird appearance, presumably it was Bai Zixu who gave the order.

With a gentle and shallow smile on her face, Mo Xiaoran led Xiaozhu across Ai Qingshi Road, passed through the six palace gates, and was stopped by a group of imperial guards in front of the noon gate.

"Is the Empress going out of the palace?"

Mo Xiaoran pointed to her own attire: "Otherwise, what do you think I'm going to do? Young master, I'm going to have fun, promise, this is the token to leave the palace."

She opened her mouth angrily, playing the playful second generation ancestor vividly, the corner of Xiaozhu's mouth twitched, I really don't know who the lady learned this from.

After examining the token for a few times, the imperial guard waved his hand and ordered everyone to let them go.

"Please be sure to return to the palace before the imperial confinement, empress." The imperial guard couldn't help but reminded.

Mo Xiaoran waved her hand without looking back, indicating that she heard it, and walked out of the palace. The sky was blue and the sea was wide, and even the air seemed to have become much fresher. Mo Xiaoran took a deep breath, with a contented look on her face : "The air outside the palace is good." The smell of freedom made her blood boil uncontrollably, and there was a trace of joy and excitement flowing from her handsome eyebrows.

Xiao Zhu cast a sideways glance at her, "Little...Master, where are we going next?"

"Stroll casually." Mo Xiaoran stretched her limbs and walked towards the busiest market in the imperial city.

Behind her, there was the sound of someone else's breathing, followed by Mo Xiaoran's steps, she stood alone on the bluestone road outside the high wall, in a quiet path, she took a look at the place where someone was hiding: "I've already I'm out of the palace, what are you still doing with me?"

Qingfeng's figure flashed, and he came from the dark place to the bright place: "The slave is following the master's order to protect the young master personally."

"Then you will be my thug." Mo Xiaoran knew very well that most of them would not be able to drive him away, so she should use Qingfeng's ability reasonably, "From now on, you will be my servant. "The folding fan pointed to Qingfeng's cheek, and she ordered with a smile.

Qingfeng wailed in his heart, from the hidden guard to the servant, is there anyone more pitiful than him in the world?

Xiaozhu carefully examined him for a few times, and finally said suddenly: "I've seen you before, you were the one who knocked me out that night."

She still remembered that one day when she and Mo Xiaoran were going to sneak out of the palace, it was the master of this man who took the young lady away and knocked herself out at the same time. Qingfeng, who looked like he wanted to settle accounts with him after autumn, Qingfeng smiled coyly, "That's just a temporary expedient measure."

"Hmph!" Xiaozhu snorted angrily, but from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mo Xiaoran walking away by herself, and hurriedly stomped her feet to catch up: "Young master, wait for your servant."

Mo Xiaoran kept walking, noticing that the two were catching up quickly, she smiled and said, "What? Don't continue to talk about love?"

Xiaozhu's cheeks flushed, most likely because of anger, "Master, how can I be a servant!" Which eye did the young lady see that she had an affair with this man?
Mo Xiaoran shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and patted Xiaozhu's shoulder lightly: "Actually, you two are quite suitable, one maid and one servant, think about it."

Qingfeng and Xiaozhu were so embarrassed by her ridicule, they never even looked at each other along the way, but in Mo Xiaoran's eyes, it felt like there was no silver 300 taels in this place, but she also knew that this The two of them just lose face, I'm sorry, they have no personal relationship at all, but such things as feelings can definitely be cultivated.

From the small path of Youjing to the most prosperous part of the imperial city, along the way, there are many vendors, the major shops are open for business, and the dazzling array of supplies on the counters make people dazzled. The scent coming out, the street vendors carrying poles and bargaining with the common people, it is a scene full of vitality.

With her hands behind her back, Mo Xiaoran slowly walked through the crowded crowd. It was only seven or eight o'clock in the morning, but the market was already bustling with activity. She frowned strangely: "Ordinary people would Is that much?"

Qingfeng shook his head, and used his generous body to separate Mo Xiaoran from the swarming people to prevent her from being bumped into: "Today happens to be a market, and merchants from other towns will come to the city to sell their goods, so we will come early There are people waiting here," he explained.

Go to market?

Mo Xiaoran glanced at the sea of ​​people that was almost blocked from the street to the end of the street, and the corner of her mouth twitched, "It's really lively." There are at least a thousand people here, right?The entire street was blocked, and it became extremely difficult to walk a few steps forward.

"There are not so many people here at this hour on weekdays."

In other words, she picked a day that didn't seem to be suitable for going out?Mo Xiaoran cast a sideways glance at Qingfeng, grabbed Xiao Zhu's hand, and walked in and out of the shop. In just two hours, except for Mo Xiaoran, the two people behind her had their hands and arms full of stuff. Lin Lang's goods, including jewelry, jewellery, calligraphy and paintings, were swept away by her in almost every store.

Around a corner at the end of the street, Mo Xiaoran's eyes lit up, she pointed to an iron shop, and walked in. The worker with bare shoulders was blacksmithing in the courtyard of the inner room. The temperature inside is frighteningly high, hanging on the surrounding walls are all kinds of weapons exuding a cold halo, and the shopkeeper is dozing off on the counter.

Mo Xiaoran walked around the wall, and finally her gaze was fixed on a sharp dagger. The dagger was small and had no extra patterns, but it had a hostile aura. Just one glance caught her heart.

"If you want a weapon, I have several here, you can choose." A familiar hoarse voice broke through the air from behind. When it spread, Mo Xiaoran frowned, turned around, and gave him a weird look: "I can bump into you everywhere." Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Qingfeng, who was holding brocade boxes of all sizes in her arms. , Bai Qingluo arrived so quickly, I am afraid that his tip-off is indispensable.

"This is fate." Bai Qingluo's cold and stiff face softened slightly. He put his hands behind his back and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "I have a dagger that cuts iron like mud. If you want it, Qingfeng , you go to the Misty Rain Tower and fetch Rueqing."

When Qingfeng saw Bai Qingluo appearing, he breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, he realized how miserable it was to go shopping with a woman. He immediately nodded in response, and even used lightness kung fu when he left.

"He wants to leave in such a hurry?" Mo Xiaoran sneered, dissatisfied with Qingfeng's fleeing.

"Today, there are monks in Chenghuang Temple who opened an altar to give lectures on Buddhism. Do you want to go and see it?" Bai Qingluo changed the subject, squinted, and a strange light flashed across his deep eyes. He wanted to be with her, be with her Watch the scenery of the imperial city and accompany her to travel around the world.

Mo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows, "Go eat first, I'm hungry."

She rubbed her stomach, and left the blacksmith shop with Bai Qingluo. The place for lunch was set at Yanyu Building. With such a person who has a close relationship with Yanyu Building beside her, at least she could save money for a meal.

At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the lobby of Yanyu Building, most of them were high-ranking officials and dignitaries in luxurious clothes. Mo Xiaoran and Bai Qingluo were both dressed in dark robes. There is also a little maid, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

Bai Qingluo gave the shopkeeper a wink, and led Mo Xiaoran to the dining room on the third floor.

The private rooms in Yanyu Building are not allowed to enter unless they are emperors, nobles, or people with power over the world. Compared with the lobby, the second and third floors are very quiet. When you open the carved door of the private room, a scent of fragrance comes from the inside of the room. The furnishings are extremely simple, a carpet of white tiger skin, a rosewood round table and wooden chairs, a cabinet stands by the window, a celadon vase is placed on top of it, and a pear blossom branch is inserted, and a screen divides the inner room. Separated from the outer room, bead curtains are hung in the air, and the jade beads are full and crystal clear.

Bai Qingluo casually pointed to the chair: "Sit."

Mo Xiaoran was not polite, she just lifted her robe and sat down, her movements were grand and free, without any hint of femininity, while Xiao Zhu stood quietly behind, ready to serve.

"What do you want to eat?" Bai Qingluo narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly.

Mo Xiaoran supported her chin with one hand, and tapped the table lightly with the other: "You decide, I don't care." She has never been very picky about food.

When Xiao Er came in, Bai Qingluo casually ordered a few famous side dishes from Yanyulou, and ordered a pot of high-quality Nurhong. In the private room, the atmosphere was peaceful and leisurely.

"How about going to the Town God's Temple in the afternoon and taking a stroll around the city moat?" Bai Qingluo suggested, just thinking about staying with her for a day and never leaving her, his heart couldn't help but get excited. The cold eyes melted away, and what was left was only warmth overflowing.

"Okay." Mo Xiaoran smiled, she was not familiar with the imperial city, and now she had a tour guide, so naturally she wished for it, "What is the Town God's Temple for? Worshiping gods?"

"Cough!" Xiaozhu coughed dryly from behind, and couldn't help but glared at Mo Xiaoran.

"What's the matter with you? Sore throat? Come drink tea." Mo Xiaoran handed over a cup of warm tea, but Xiao Zhu glared at her. Mo Xiaoran was at a loss, how did she offend this girl?
"Young master," Xiaozhu said slowly, "City God Temple is dedicated to Yuelao, and believers go there to seek marriage!"

And she, who is already married, shouldn't join in the fun anymore.

Mo Xiaoran was startled, her face was a little embarrassing, "So that's how it is." She gave Bai Qingluo a meaningful look: "Which lady are you looking for? Are you going to ask for marriage?"

The softness in Bai Qingluo's eyes froze, and the breath in his whole body suddenly cooled down. He frowned slightly, and his eyes seemed to freeze, and fell on Mo Xiaoran who spoke surprisingly.
