The Imperial City was the Imperial City after all. The luxurious exterior was nothing compared to it. Perhaps only those ghostly axes and natural brushes could compete with it.
First, a small stream came into view. It was a sunny day in August, but it was as lush as spring. It was not far from autumn, but there were no falling leaves. It even made people feel like they were in a dream, which didn't seem real. If it wasn't for the passing palace maids and eunuchs greeting him, Bai Yu would have suspected that he had fallen into a bewitching spell.
This was the second time he had entered the Imperial Palace. When Li Shiming was still the King of Qin, he had followed him to the north and cleared the obstacles for him. He had not thought about these things at all. The last time he had come here was during the incident at Xuanwu Sect. Compared to that time, the situation had changed too much.
The winding path led to a secluded place, winding around many winding paths. The beautiful scenery was nostalgic!
After walking for a while, he saw a woman leaning against a stone bridge. She was wearing a traditional dress with half an arm, a pair of phoenix hair silk shoes, and a flower bun. These were all popular decorations in the Tang Dynasty, but the woman's flower bun was a little strange. When it was inserted into her hair, strands of hair flowed down from her cheeks.
Bai Yu knew that this was Li Lizhi. Only she would wear a flower bun like this. However, the Tang Dynasty was quite open-minded, so no one would say anything about her dressing up like this. Besides, she was a princess, and Li Shimin doted on her. It was understandable that she had developed some unruly habits. However, in Bai Yu's eyes, this dress was a little cute.
Li Lizhi seemed to be holding a small flower in her hand. She was peeling the petals one by one as she muttered,"Damn Baiyu, you stinky Baiyu, you actually went to that kind of place behind my back. I'm angry, very angry. If you don't compensate me properly, I won't forgive you!”
She threw the petals into the stream and stomped her feet.
"Where are we going?"
" Ah!" Li Lizhi, who was mumbling to herself, suddenly heard someone talking beside her ear. She jumped back in shock and screamed.
The nervous girl tripped on her own feet when she was retreating. She staggered, but Bai Yu quickly reached out to hold her waist, preventing her from falling!
" Which son of a b * tch…" He stopped and wanted to curse, but he realized that it was Bai Yu. He covered his mouth with his hands, and his eyes were wide open. His cheeks were flushed red.
Bai Yu was still holding onto her and said helplessly,""Are you prepared to lie like this for the rest of your life?”
Li Lizhi instantly flipped over. With her back facing him, she muttered,"I wanted to do this!" However, she couldn't help but clasp her fingers and tap the ground with her toes. After seeing Bai Yu, she seemed to have changed into a shy lady. Perhaps it was because Bai Yu's attack just now really made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Standing behind her and quietly watching her squirming posture, he couldn't help but want to laugh!
Li Lizhi hesitated for a while before she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and pointed at Bai Yu's chest.""You heartless man, you have to compensate me!”
These words were taught by Bai Yu, but now it felt a bit strange to use them on him. The action of pointing at others was also taught by Bai Yu. Perhaps she was the only one in this world who would treat him like this. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Yu leaned against another stone shelf. Li Lizhi was waiting for him, and her body was almost touching him."You're a princess, why didn't you bring a servant with you?”
"Don't change the topic!" Li Lizhi shouted.
Perhaps in this world, Li Lizhi was the only one who would treat him like this.
Looking at her teary eyes, he shook his head helplessly.""I went to Chongren Square last night to do some missions. I had no choice but to stay in the same room with the two beauties. Nothing happened! As for compensation, your father will take you out of Chang 'an to play. Is this considered compensation?”
Hearing Bai Yu's explanation, Li Lizhi calmed down a lot. She took a step back and seriously considered his suggestion. Then, she shook her head."No, this must have been discussed between you and my father. Bringing me along is just a convenience, not compensation!”
"Girl, you're the first person in the Great Tang who dares to ask for compensation. Since you don't agree, you can ask me when I'm free. I'm here today to discuss some matters with your father, so you can go play by yourself!”Bai Yu walked toward the other end of the bridge without looking back. He sounded like he was comforting a child.
Li Lizhi rubbed her hair and pouted."Damned White Feather, can't you stay with me for a while longer?”
Although she was still complaining, it was obvious that she was in a much better mood than before.
Bai Yu saw Li Shimin drinking tea in a pavilion. He walked into the pavilion and bowed,""Your Majesty!"
Li Shi Min turned around and saw Bai Yu. His smile grew wider."Brother Yu, there's no need to be so polite outside the Imperial Court!”
He walked down from the pavilion and brought Bai Yu up. He was as polite as a teacher.
Sitting on the stone bench, Bai Yu went straight to the point,""Presumably, the emperor invited me here not only because of this morning's court matters!”
He was still so domineering and proactive, but this was the Bai Yu that Li Shiming was familiar with.
