Chapter 166
Su Chen thinks that living in a modern villa is far inferior to living in an ancient palace. The only disadvantage of living in a palace is that it is inconvenient to take a bath and go to the toilet. "Independent bathroom? What does that mean?" Princess Changle asked confusedly. Su Chen forgot that she had never heard of the word bathroom and thought about how to describe it. "The bathroom is a small room built inside the house, and it can even be built in the bedroom. In this way, you don't have to run out to go to the toilet and take a bath, which is very convenient, especially in the cold winter. Can you understand what I said?" Su Chen looked at Changle expectantly. Princess Changle looked at Su Chen with a strange look after hearing this. After a long while, she couldn't help asking: "Su Chen, are you sure it's really feasible to go to the toilet in the house or in the bedroom?" Princess Changle was too embarrassed to ask this question. Thinking of that scene, she felt uncomfortable. Who would go to the toilet in the bedroom? "Uh... this is a little different from what you imagined. The bathroom is not a toilet.
Use a flush toilet, and the water will flush it away after you poop. It is clean and has no odor...
Let's not talk about this for now. I can't explain it clearly for a while."
The more Su Chen talked, the more vivid it was. Let's not talk about this topic.
"Hmm!" Although Princess Changle was a little curious about what the bathroom Su Chen was talking about was like.
But she didn't want to talk about this vivid topic.
Princess Changle knew that with Su Chen's more picky personality than the prince, the bathroom must not be a simple toilet.
After a short silence, Su Chen asked: "Lizhi, how did you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past?"
Princess Changle tilted her head, thought for a while, and said:
"Just like tonight, my father will host a banquet in Ganlu Palace to entertain the ministers, but it will not last as long as tonight. It will be over in about half an hour."
"Besides this, are there no other activities?" Su Chen continued to ask.
Princess Changle continued, "There will be no curfew in Chang'an City on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. Some elegant people will hold poetry gatherings, lantern festivals, singing and dancing, etc. We rarely participate in these."
"When is the curfew?"
Princess Changle was asked inexplicably, "Su Chen, what do you mean by the time you often say?"
"Uh... After we return to the manor, I will draw one for you to see, and you will know."
Changle said Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao, Su Chen could not tell them apart, and Su Chen said time, Changle did not understand, which was not easy to explain.
Changle nodded, "Well, the curfew starts at 11:00 and ends at 11:00 the next day."
Then, Su Chen asked, "Aren't you afraid living alone in such a big palace?"
Princess Changle shook her head, "What's there to be afraid of in the palace? I've lived in Changle Palace since I was eight years old.
Originally, after I came of age this year, I should move out of the palace according to regulations. I opened a princess's mansion outside the palace as a place to live, but my father and mother did not agree with me leaving the palace."
Su Chen gave a thumbs up and smiled, "You are so brave. What about Li Tai and other princes? Do they have to move out of the palace too?"
Princess Changle knew that Su Chen didn't understand these things, so she didn't tease him. "Except for the crown prince, the princes will go to their respective fiefdoms after they come of age."
Su Chen nodded after listening, and then thought that if Li Tai ran away, who would he find to study those things in the future? This stuff requires not only intelligence, but also interest.
"That won't do. What should I do if Li Tai runs away? I have to find a way to keep him in Chang'an. Anyway, he can't affect Li Chengqian now.
After Li Tai finishes training those failed candidates, I am planning to let him make alcohol and convex mirrors. He will also be needed to study gunpowder in the future.
No, gunpowder is not good. If an accident happens and he is killed, I will probably have to pay with his life. Let's talk about gunpowder later."
Su Chen stroked his chin and thought about it. Princess Changle fell asleep beside his shoulder, and Su Chen didn't notice it.
At this time, the moonlight suddenly dimmed, not as bright as before. Su Chen looked up at the moon. It turned out that a lonely cloud blocked the moonlight.
After a while, the cloud drifted away and the moonlight became bright again.
"Li Zhi, you said that the Taoist priest opened the altar to pray for rain. Does it really work?" As a modern person, Su Chen believes in science.
"I've never seen rain since I came to the Tang Dynasty!"
Su Chen didn't hear Changle's answer, and turned his head to look at her, "Li..."
Falling asleep?
Su Chen didn't move, not daring to disturb her.
"What should I do? Sit until dawn? Should I wake her up?"
Su Chen shrugged lightly, but Princess Changle didn't react at all. Maybe she usually went to bed early, and she stayed up late tonight, so she slept a little deeply.
Looking at Princess Changle sleeping soundly, Su Chen couldn't bear to wake her up. He was struggling with what to do, and a wave of sleepiness came over him, and Su Chen couldn't help yawning.After thinking for a long time, Su Chen held Princess Changle's shoulder with one hand, pulled out the arm she was leaning on, stretched his hand around the back of Changle's neck, and held her knee with the other hand.
Slowly getting up, seeing that Princess Changle had no reaction, Su Chen held Princess Changle and slowly walked into the palace.
"Where is the princess's room? Lead the way." Su Chen asked in a low voice.
The palace maid in the palace hurried forward to lead the way. Just when Su Chen asked the maid, Princess Changle's long eyelashes trembled a few times.
Su Chen followed her maid and walked towards Princess Changle's bedroom. Fortunately, she was not very heavy, otherwise Su Chen could not hold her.
Princess Changle had just woken up. In order to avoid embarrassing Su Chen, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. But her slightly raised corners of her mouth betrayed her.
After a lot of effort, he finally came to Princess Changle's boudoir. Su Chen gently put Princess Changle on the bed and slowly pulled out his arm.
"Come on, I'll go out first." After saying that, Su Chen walked out of the room lightly and let out a long breath.
"If your majesty knew that I had embraced Li Zhi, would he come after me with a three-meter-long machete?"
Su Chen did not leave, he waited outside the door, he didn't know where to sleep tonight! Four palace maids walked into Changle's room with ice cubes.
After a while, the palace maids came out, and Su Chen immediately stepped forward and asked: "Excuse me, did the princess tell me where I sleep tonight?"
The palace maid named Xiaoling smiled softly and said: "My lord, the princess has arranged a place for you to live, it's next to the princess' room, please come with me."
"Okay, thank you!" Su Chen thanked and followed immediately.
In fact, Princess Changle did not make any arrangements, she fell asleep before she had time to explain. It was just in the room that she quietly told the palace maid Xiaoling.
Although the two rooms were separated by only one wall, the doors were not in the same place. "My Lord, you can rest here tonight. I'll go get some ice." Xiao Ling bowed respectfully and left the room.
"Okay, thank you!"
"I will never stay overnight in the palace again! I might be called to the morning court at dawn, and I'll be laughed at by others if I go." Su Chen made up his mind secretly.
"Ah~" He yawned deeply.
He was really sleepy at this moment, and fell asleep on the bed with his clothes on.
