Chapter 3 Going Home
You, how did you buy it? Although we are poor, we can't do anything illegal! "

Xu Luo smiled gently, looking at his sister's nervous appearance, but his heart was warm.

Xu Lingling's fair neck, with a faint blush due to her emotional fluctuations, looked particularly charming.

"Lingling, why are you in such a hurry? I will send the things back naturally."

Xu Luo looked at his sister Xu Lingling. Her eyes were full of anxiety. Those eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, revealed endless worry at this moment.

He sighed secretly, thinking that life was really a headache. If Lingling wasn't so poor, why would she be so worried?

"Don't worry, this hairpin was earned by me from that rich man with my eloquence. That rich man is very rich. Within three days, I can make a lot of money from him.

Just wear it with confidence!" Xu Luo assured, patting his chest.

Xu Lingling was skeptical, her nose twitching slightly, as if trying to distinguish the truth from her brother's words: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Xu Luo said seriously, "Lingling, I promise that from now on, I will let you live a good life. When we have enough money, I will definitely find a good home for you and marry you off in style.

This way, my parents' spirits in heaven can rest assured. "

Xu Lingling's chest rose and fell slightly after hearing this, and her smile blossomed like a spring flower: "Brother, I don't want to get married. If I want to get married, I have to see you get married first."

"You are such a bold person, girl!" Xu Luo pretended to be serious, but he couldn't hide the doting in his eyes.

Three days passed quietly like sand on the fingertips. Xu Luo still came to the city every morning. Although he had the ability to predict the future, his stall was deserted. In three days, not even one person asked for the price.

Xu Luo was so happy. The hundred dollars given by Li Shimin allowed the brother and sister to live a carefree life for a few days.

He muttered to himself, "Hey, why hasn't the rich man made any move yet? It's already the third day."

He kept muttering to himself as he tidied up his stall. When he had finished packing, he hurried to the city gate.

At the same time, in the Lizheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, candlelight flickered and laughter was heard.

"Second brother, is the fortune teller you mentioned really that powerful?" an elegant and graceful woman asked with a smile, her eyes moving and full of charm.

Next to him, a little girl of about twelve or thirteen, with a beautiful face, blinked her big eyes curiously and asked, "Father, what else did the fortune teller say?"

Li Shimin smiled, pulled the little girl into his arms, and stroked her hair lovingly: "You little girl, you have also learned to be so gossipy."

He sighed softly, "We only met briefly that day, and we didn't talk in detail. However, the deadline is coming soon. If I am still safe tonight, I will go meet that kid tomorrow!"

The girl's eyes sparkled and she smiled: "Hehe, Father, I'll go there tomorrow too, okay?"

The woman smiled softly, her chest rising and falling slightly with her laughter. She glanced at Li Shimin charmingly, as if she was also looking forward to tomorrow's trip.

Zhangsun Wugou slightly frowned, and said in a serious tone, "Girl, you are such a fool. You are always thinking about leaving the palace. Your father is so busy, how can he have the time to fool around with you?"

Princess Changle lowered her head after hearing these words, with her little mouth slightly pouted, like a wronged kitten.

At this time, the Queen of the Tang Dynasty, Zhangsun Wugou, who was standing next to her, had a dignified temperament with a hint of imperceptible doting, and the little princess who was being scolded was none other than the beloved Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty.

Her sparkling eyes always looked at the outside world with curiosity. Li Shimin had already forgotten the nonsense of the fortune teller. He was busy with government affairs every day and was overwhelmed with memorials. How could he have the leisure to think about those illusory things?

But on this day, he returned to Lizheng Palace early, and Princess Changle happened to stick to him as usual.
Those eyes, hungry for knowledge, stared at him, as if saying, "Tell me, Father."

Princess Changle was full of curiosity about life outside the palace, and she often asked her father to tell her anecdotes about the outside world.

Li Shimin also doted on this daughter and would often sit in the Lizheng Hall and tell her everything in the tone of a storyteller.

Just today, when he met Li Lizhi who was equally curious, Li Shimin told her about his encounter with a fortune teller on the street two days ago as an interesting story.

"I have never believed in those stories about ghosts and gods!" He said as he gently patted Princess Changle's head with his hand, his action full of loving kindness.

As for the fortune-telling experience, it is really like a joke in the market.

It is said that the fortune teller claimed that he could predict the future, but he was fooled by passers-by A, B, C, and D. In the end, he not only predicted the wrong person, but also lost his purse.

This incident became a laughing stock among the people, but it also became a lighthearted episode in the Lizheng Hall.

"This kid's words are quite interesting!" Li Shimin stroked his chin with great interest, "It's really rare that such a young man is already following others and setting up a street stall to tell fortunes!"

"Even if there is no bloody disaster, I will have to go there tomorrow to see if this kid really dares to smash his own sign!" He laughed.

Empress Changsun gently advised: "Second brother, keeping your word is a good thing, but this child is forced to set up a stall.

If you have the ability, why don't you help him and don't let him lose his job. "She frowned slightly, her eyes were full of tenderness and kindness. As a queen, she still maintained that innocence and kindness.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Guanyin maid, don't worry about it."

Princess Changsun said coquettishly, "Father, please take me with you tomorrow. I haven't seen the outside world yet!"

She hung on Li Shimin's neck like a kitten, her bright eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and saw that she had no objection, so he smiled and said, "Well, Lizhi, you are already grown up, it's time for you to go out and see the world. Who knows, you might even be able to bring back a son-in-law for your father!"

When Princess Changle heard this, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to be quite tempted by this idea.

At this moment, Empress Changsun's eyes were filled with smiles, and her lips were slightly raised, making her look particularly charming;

Princess Chang Sun gently twisted her waist, her hair dancing in the wind, as if she couldn't wait to explore the world outside the palace.

Princess Changle's face darkened slightly, and she pouted her cherry lips and said unhappily.

"I don't want to get married in such a hurry. If I really want to marry, it must be a man with great knowledge and talent. Otherwise, I would rather stay with this magnificent palace for the rest of my life."

"This girl is talking nonsense here again."

After hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other and smiled, then shook their heads helplessly.

"Hehe, then Father and Mother, please go to bed early. Li Zhi will take her leave first!"
