A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

Taking advantage of these people's stupefied efforts, Jiuzhu held up her skirt and walked to Shen's side: "Mother, let's go."

"Calm down, don't panic." Shen shi smiled: "In the future, when you meet someone you don't want to talk to, just keep smiling and droop your eyelids slightly, and they will leave by themselves. "

Jiuzhu laughed softly: "Will this seem too arrogant?"

"No, it's not arrogance, it's the arrogance of the superior." Shen shi glanced at the people who were surrounded by Jiuzhu just now: "A really smart person wouldn't use such a stupid method to please you."

Jiuzhu sighed: "Everything happens according to fate, ?? People in the capital, it's really hard to live."

Shen shi smiled: "I forgot, ?? Taoism emphasizes that everything goes according to the circumstances, and you are free to follow your heart. With your character, ?? There is a bit of freedom and ease in a Taoist family."

She patted her daughter's arm, which well concealed her worries.

But after marrying into the royal family, can Empress Su and King Chen allow their daughters to be like this all the time?

"Ming County's temperament will marry into the royal family later..." Princess Huai walked side by side with Sun Caiyao, and witnessed the process of Wan Ming Jiuzhu being flattered and flattered, and then left in a hurry, her tone was a little wistful: "No matter how naive little girl is. , marry into the royal family, and become a vine that entangles branches."

After saying this, I realized that something was wrong, and Princess Huai smiled at Sun Caiyao: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. The mother and concubine are not in good health. I will help her back to the palace."

Princess An and Princess Jing also went to serve their mother-in-law. Sun Caiyao stood there, looking at the outer hall with fewer and fewer people, not knowing where to go.

"Tonight, is it the Lantern Festival night?" She touched the golden hairpin with a phoenix tail on her head and smiled bitterly. The mother-in-law passed away less than forty-nine days ago. As sons and daughters-in-law, His Royal Highness and her were not only allowed to wear hemp and filial piety.

In previous years, on the Lantern Festival night, she would always go to the street with her father, siblings and sisters to guess lantern riddles and watch street dramas. This year, I am afraid that no one will be able to accompany her.

"Prince Concubine..." The palace maid looked at her worriedly, Concubine Prince had not had a good rest these days, and she had lost a lot of weight.

"It's okay." Sun Caiyao returned to Zhang Liugong, took off the hairpin jewelry on her body, and changed into a plain brocade clothes. She leaned against the window, watching the darkening sky.

It's so late, where did your Highness go?

The Mingyue Palace is full of red lanterns and red hydrangea, and even the eunuchs of the palace are wearing red belts around their waists, as if they are holding a wedding.

Emperor Longfeng looked at his son who was staring at the red lantern, and asked with a smile, "Little girl from the Ming family, will you go to the lantern show with your family tonight?"

"This is the first time the little girl has spent the Lantern Festival in the capital. Of course she has to watch it." King Chen retracted his mind: "Father, what are you asking about this?"

"Go if you want." Emperor Longfeng waved his hand: "The little girl had a hard time before. You, your fiancé, shouldn't miss her first Lantern Festival in the capital."

King Chen moved his buttocks and sat back again: "Father, my son is not the kind of person who forgets his parents when he has a daughter-in-law. I will accompany you tonight."

"Really?" Emperor Longfeng raised his eyebrows.

"Really." King Chen glanced at the already dark sky, gritted his teeth and nodded.

Emperor Longfeng looked at his son who was still far away, smiled and kicked him with his foot: "Bum, who wants you to accompany me and your mother on an important day."

King Chen sideways dodged this kick and poured tea for Emperor Longfeng and Empress Su: "You really don't want my son to accompany you?"

"I heard from Liu Zhongbao that the eldest, the second and the third have all taken the princess out of the palace to play." Emperor Longfeng got up and took Empress Su's hand: "When I meet your mother, I will also leave the palace in small clothes, if you want to stay In Mingyue Palace, I do not force..."

"My son will not disturb the father and mother, and my son will retire." King Chen stood up and ran for a few steps, then turned his head and ran back, extending his hand in front of Emperor Longfeng.

Emperor Longfeng dug into his sleeve and threw a purse into his hand: "How old are you, you are going out to play with your fiancee, and you have to pay for your father."

"Father, give me some more." King Chen continued to stretch out his hand: "Two people tweed."

"Liu Zhongbao." Emperor Longfeng sighed helplessly: "Give him a silver note."

Liu Zhongbao took out a few silver notes from his arms and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, which one do you plan to give to Your Highness?"

King Chen jumped up and took all the banknotes in his hand: "Thank you father and mother, thank you mother, my son will retire!"

Seeing the happy back of His Royal Highness King Chen, Liu Zhongbao smiled and bent over to plead guilty: "This old slave is not good at protecting the silver, I beg Your Majesty to punish him."

"It's okay, it's okay, I see that you clearly intend to protect the silver." Emperor Longfeng smiled instead: "Let's go, go outside the palace to see the folk fireworks."

When King Chen ran to Ming's house with the silver in his hand and the guardian dragon guard, he learned that the Ming family had been out for half an hour, and the servants didn't know where they would go to play.

Looking at the bustling crowd, the smile on King Chen's face gradually faded. Walking on the shoulder-to-shoulder streets, he found that the Lantern Festival was not very interesting except for the crowds and the old-fashioned styles of the lamps.

The talented and beautiful people guessed lantern riddles, the generals carried large and small bags for their wives, and the Lantern Festival stalls were full of guests, steaming hot in the cold night.

"Your Highness." Hu Longwei asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go back to the palace now?"

"No, this king is free to walk around." He saw a lantern stand selling puppy lanterns, bought them with money, and held them in his hand.

Le Ling's tunes are not good, and the acrobatics on the juggling booth are so clumsy that one can see through them at a glance.

A harlequin show that amuses people so much is boring.

The candles in the lantern were about to burn out and the lights were flickering. King Chen stopped, looked up at the full moon in the sky, sneered, and turned to Hulongwei and said, "Go find a new candle."

"Brother, that lamp is so beautiful." Jiuzhu pointed to a lamp on the lamp stand: "I want to buy it."

Ming Jiyuan looked down at the four or five lamps in his hand, and nodded without principle: "Buy."

"Seller, how much is this lamp?" Jiu Zhu walked to the lamp shop and pointed to the top lamp.

"Girl, this is our display product, not for sale." The store owner explained in a good mood when seeing the little girl's beautiful appearance: "You can look at other lamps in our house."

"Don't sell it?" Jiuzhu lowered her shoulders in despair: "Okay."

Ming sent the vision and quickly comforted: "How about we go to look elsewhere?"

"Okay." Jiuzhu nodded, but the brothers and sisters walked two or three streets and couldn't find a lamp like the one just now, Jiuzhu sat down on the stone bench by the roadside in discouragement: "It seems that you can't buy such a beautiful lamp tonight. "

"I like that lamp very much?" Ming Jiyuan bought two masks and handed one to Jiu Zhu: "Then brother, I'll help you think of a way."

"No need, brother." Jiuzhu shook her head: "Tonight, His Highness can't come out of the palace, so I just wanted to buy some beautiful lamps and bring them into the palace to show him, it doesn't matter if you can't buy them."

"These lights were all bought for His Royal Highness King Chen?"

"No." Jiu Zhu pointed at one of the lamps with a smile: "This one is for my brother. I just found out that you secretly glanced at this lamp a few times. The remaining ones belong to my father, mother and sister of the Spring Equinox."

"What about yours?" Ming Jiyuan asked with a smile.

Jiuzhu was stunned: "I forgot..."

"You." Ming Jiyuan laughed and put the mask on his face: "Let's go, brother will accompany you to choose the lamp you like."

Jiuzhu imitated her brother, put the mask on her face, and followed behind him: "Brother, I saw a lot of talented people guessing lantern riddles just now. You are so talented, why don't you go?"

"Guessing lantern riddles is an opportunity for many students to show their faces. I have already become an official in the court, so why bother with them." Ming Jiyuan was afraid that his sister would get lost, so he instructed: "There are many people on the road, hold my clothes and don't get lost. "

"Then let's go to the lantern show." Jiuzhu grabbed the hem of Ming Jiyuan's clothes: "There are a lot of people around there."

"Okay." Ming Jiyuan, holding a few lanterns in one hand and protecting his sister in the other, squeezed into the crowd steadily, occupying an excellent viewing position.

Through the mask, he couldn't see the expression on his sister's face, but he knew that her sister must be smiling happily at the moment.

She exclaimed with the crowd and clapped with them, carefree and innocent.

Under the fire tree, she took off her mask, and her beautiful eyes were full of happy stars.

If he had a choice, he didn't want his sister to marry into the royal family.

But in order to buy a lamp for King Chen, she could walk a few streets, and she didn't care about the scenery on the street, and she didn't have time to taste the Lantern Festival.

"Brother?" Jiuzhu touched her face suspiciously when she saw her brother looking at her: "What's wrong?"

"Put the mask on." Ming Jiyuan helped her put on the mask: "The lantern show is over, shall I take you to taste the Lantern Festival?"

"Okay." She nodded and agreed, and when she passed the lantern shops, she still subconsciously looked for the lantern she liked.

Suddenly, Jiuzhu saw a person carrying a puppy lamp in his left hand and the non-buying lamp in the other hand, and hurried forward: "Master, please stay."

The man with the lantern stopped, turned his head sharply to look at her wearing a mask: "Ming Xiaozhu?"

"His Royal Highness?!" Jiuzhu took off her mask: "How do you know it's me?"

"Don't say you're wearing a mask, even if your head is covered, I can guess it's you." He looked down at the lamp in his hand and handed it all to her: "Here, here it is for you."

The candles in the lantern were flickering, and Jiuzhu took the two lanterns: "Did you buy them all for me?"

"Besides you, who else can I buy it for?" King Chen looked at the mask on her face carefully: "Where did you buy this, I'll buy one too."

Jiuzhu turned around and looked at Ming Jiyuan: "Brother, where did you buy this mask?"

"About a hundred steps ahead, there is a stall selling masks." Ming Jiyuan looked at the puppy lamp in Jiuzhu's hand, he remembered that his sister's zodiac sign was a dog.

"It turns out that the third son of Ming is also there." King Chen nodded politely to him: "I don't know if Ming Shilang and Mrs. Ming are with you?"

"My father and mother have other arrangements." Ming Jiyuan looked at the Lantern Festival lantern in Ming Jiuzhu's hand, and said politely, "Little sister Fang Cai wanted to buy this lantern for His Highness to send to the palace, and has been walking three whole streets. I didn't buy it at all, but I didn't expect His Highness to buy it by himself. Perhaps, this is fate."

"His Royal Highness, my sister is young and naive. Please send her back to the house before the hour." Ming Jiyuan smiled slightly: "Xiaguan will retire first."

King Chen looked at his future eldest brother-in-law with relief, no wonder people always praised Ming Jiyuan as a gentle and elegant young man, and what a kind person.

"Brother." Jiuzhu called out Ming Jiyuan, with reluctance in her eyes: "Why did you leave first?"

"I remembered that there are still some things to deal with." Ming Jiyuan looked at King Chen: "His Royal Highness will accompany you well."

A man walks the streets and wants to buy the best lamp for him.

One bought a puppy lamp for her and held it in her hand, not knowing how long she had walked on the crowded street.
