Hearing Mo Xuan's teasing, Chu Yunyi suddenly came back to his senses, glared at Mo Xuan fiercely, then looked at Qingyun and explained eagerly: "Xiaoyun, I...I didn't know that person was a woman, I ..."

Ever since he was sensible, he only wanted to seize the throne and trample under his feet those who had hurt him and his mother and concubine. He had never been in contact with any woman, and he was not even close to his nanny. After falling in love with Xiaoyun, he even He didn't even look at the other woman. In the situation just now, he was completely stunned. How could he still think about whether that person was a boy or a girl?

"Yun Chu, let's see if you are missing anything first?" Qing Yun reminded with a smile.

"You mean..." Chu Yunyi was startled, and subconsciously touched his whole body with his hands: "My money bag is gone. The person just now was a thief!"

Unexpectedly, Qingyun shook his head: "Although that man was dressed in rags, as if he had rolled in the mud, he was so dirty that the color of the clothes could hardly be seen, his hair was messy, and his face was a little dirty, but his facial features He has quite an elegant aura, and I don’t think he is that kind of person.”

"Qing'er not only knows that she is not a man, but also sees that her identity is unusual. She is really observant and as meticulous as dust." Mo Xuan praised.

After giving Mo Xuan an angry look, Qing Yun said to Chu Yunyi: "I think she is doing it either for fun or for other reasons. Anyway, it is just a thing outside the body. There is no need to argue with her. Let's go in." After saying that, she turned around and walked into the restaurant. Go.

Mo Xuan looked at Chu Yunyi meaningfully, Mo Xuan's charming eyes shone with a devilish light, and then followed Qing Yun away.

Staring at Qingyun's back, Chu Yunyi's eyes were uncertain, hoping that Xiaoyun would be angry because of this, but also afraid that Xiaoyun would be angry. If Xiaoyun was angry, it meant that she cared about him, but Xiaoyun was really angry and even ignored him. He was angry, and he didn't know how to remedy it. Now Xiaoyun's face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, which made him feel even more unsure.

Seeing Qingyun and the others coming in, although they were ordinary-looking and plain-dressed, they had an aura of nobility about them. The shopkeeper immediately walked out from behind the counter, greeted them with a smile, and asked, "Who are the top three of you? Or stay in a hotel?”

"Stay in the hotel."

Seeing the crystal clear jade ring on Qingyun's ring finger, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "Please invite the three guests upstairs!" Then he led the three people to the VIP room on the third floor, bowed and saluted: "Little man Luo Yulin has met the young lady, and the boss has already given a secret letter. Zhang Hua, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou in Yanjing (the capital of the Liang Kingdom), will be responsible for the security of the young lady during her stay in the Liang Kingdom. Everyone will obey the orders of the young lady."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qingyun smiled and nodded: "We will only stay here for one night, and we will leave for Yanjing tomorrow morning."

"Yes, please wait a moment, Miss*, I will arrange the food and drinks right now." Luo Yulin said respectfully: "Today happens to be the annual River Lantern Festival. After dinner, Miss* can go to the Imma River to put out river lanterns. .”

"River Lantern Festival?"

"Well! It's similar to China's Qiqiao Festival. Every year on this day, people in the city go to the Imma River outside the city, light the river lanterns and put them into the river, let the river lanterns drift eastward with the river water, and pray to the sky devoutly. In order to wish for happiness, longevity and health, unmarried men and women may put river lanterns into the water to pray for a good match, or they may give the river lanterns to the person they like after meeting them to express their admiration. It is said that this has led to many marriages. Don’t have a good marriage.”

Qingyun and the others had been to Liang Kingdom more than once, but this was the first time they heard about the River Lantern Festival in Changshan. Mo Xuan was a little interested: "So magical? I wonder when the custom was passed down?"

"I heard from the local elders that the first emperor of Liang Guo met the first empress who was putting out river lanterns, which created an eternal legend, and this custom was passed down."

"Is it true that if you put out river lanterns, you will live a long and healthy life and have a good relationship?"

"It is said that as long as you pray sincerely, God will protect the lives of the people of Liang Kingdom and make them happy."

Chu Yunyi suddenly asked: "What if the other party doesn't accept the river lantern?"

"Then pray for a good marriage in the coming year."

"That's it." Chu Yunyi lowered his eyes slightly to hide the disappointment and melancholy in his eyes.

Looking out the window at the clear and clear sky, listening to the noise coming from the market, Qingyun's face was as quiet as a pool of water, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.

After dinner, it was still early in the day, so Qingyun and the four of them left Luoyun Tower. While admiring the lanterns on both sides of the street, they slowly walked towards the Imma River.

All kinds of lanterns were hung everywhere along the way, crowds of people were surging, and laughter and laughter could be heard everywhere, making it very lively.

"Qing'er, look at that lantern..."

Hearing this, Qingyun looked in the direction of Mo Xuan's finger. Among the many colorful lanterns hanging on a stall on the right, a lantern that looked like a blooming manzhushahua was particularly eye-catching. The petals were not the usual blood red, but It is a light blue, with a small red candle burning in the heart of the flower, and the entire lantern is glowing with red and blue fluorescence, giving people a simple, elegant and mysterious feeling.

Qingyun nodded: "It's really good." Manzhushahua was her mother's favorite, and it was also a cinnabar mole that was always engraved in her heart. It hurt her every time she saw it.

Putting away her sad and sad mood, Qingyun walked to the stall, pointed at the lantern and said, "Boss, give me that lantern."

"Okay." The stall owner responded diligently and went to get the lantern.

A petite person suddenly rushed to Qingyun's side, lifted up her cloak and covered him completely: "Someone is chasing me, please let me hide for a while."

He shook his head and signaled Mo Xuan and the others not to say anything. In a blink of an eye, he saw several people walking quickly through the crowd on the left. They looked around, obviously looking for someone. Although they were wearing ordinary clothes, they all walked steadily. , at first glance, it was Lian Jiazi, Qingyun Xiumei frowned slightly in thought.

When a few people walked away, Qingyun said calmly: "They have left."

After the words fell, the person hidden in the cloak carefully revealed his little head and looked around to make sure that those people were really far away. Then he took off the cloak that was wrapped around him, patted his heart with his slightly dirty hands, and said, He breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately I wasn't caught."

When a familiar voice reached his ears, Chu Yunyi was startled, and then shouted in a low voice: "It turns out to be you!"

She was dressed in rags, her hair was a little messy, and her face was so dirty that it was almost impossible to see her true face. She was clearly the woman who ran into Chu Yunyi's arms during the day.

Apparently the woman also recognized Qing Yun and others, and just as she was about to run away, Chu Yunyi quickly grabbed her arm with quick eyes and hands: "You didn't steal those people's money bags again, so you were chased, right? "

"I'm...I'm just borrowing it for a while. It's really ugly to say whether it's stolen or not!" The woman's eyes widened, but there was clearly a guilty conscience in her eyes.

"Taking without asking is considered stealing!" I don't know whether it was because of Qingyun's calmness during the day, which made him feel unsure, or for some other reason, but Chu Yunyi just saw how this woman was unhappy: "Langlang Qiankun, you You have openly committed theft repeatedly, go away, I will hand you over to the government right now!"

"No!" the woman shouted subconsciously, then stopped speaking, and then covered her face and said with a choked voice: "I haven't had a bite of food for three days and three nights, and I took it from you out of complete desperation. I want to buy some steamed buns for my money, and this is my first time doing this kind of thing. I have an eighty-year-old grandmother and several younger brothers and sisters who haven’t grown up yet. Please don’t send me to the government. I If I enter the government, they won't have me as their backbone..."

Hearing the woman's endless complaints, the corner of Mo Xuan's mouth twitched, Wu Ying lowered his head, but his shoulders were shaking a bit. No matter how well-educated Chu Yunyi was, he could still hear the veins on his forehead twitching, while Qingyun was already He took the lantern from the stall owner, glanced at the woman lightly, and said calmly: "Let's go." After saying that, he walked out of the city with the lantern in hand.

The few people just now looked like they were not ordinary people, and they did not look like they had been stolen. Also, this woman was articulate and had a clear temperament. It seemed that her identity was not simple. She and I were just here to attend the ceremony of the Prince of Liang. There is no need to cause any trouble when getting married.

Looking at the woman who was still talking at length, the three of them shook their heads and sighed. They didn't expect that she could be so eloquent at such a young age. She really can't be judged by her appearance!

Hearing the footsteps gradually disappearing, the woman put down the hand covering her face. Her slightly dirty face showed no trace of sadness, nor even a trace of tears. She looked at Qingyun's back, which was consciously protected by the three of them. With a cunning light shining in his big eyes, he quickly caught up with the four people, pushed aside Chu Yunyi on the left, and pulled Qingyun's cloak familiarly: "My name is Ling'er, what is your sister's name?"

Qingyun ignored it.

As if she didn't notice Qingyun's alienation at all, the woman named Ling'er continued to ask: "Sister, are you going to put out river lanterns in the Imma River?"

...

"It seems like my sister is not from Liang country?"

...

"Sister, are you going to visit Liang Kingdom?"

...

"Is it possible that my sister is here to attend the wedding ceremony of the prince of my country?"

Stopping, Qing Yun looked slightly sideways and looked directly into Ling'er's eyes, her eyes as deep as the ocean, which made Ling'er feel terrified and subconsciously touched her face: "Sister, why are you looking like this? Me? Are there flowers on my face?"

Qingyun was noncommittal, withdrew her gaze and continued walking outside the city.

Ling'er was startled when she saw this, and then caught up with Qingyun in a few steps, chattering nonstop: "The prince's wedding is nothing interesting. It's better to visit the country's scenic spots. I am very familiar with many places in the country, so why not give it to me?" How about my sister being my guide?"

Before Qing Yun said anything, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him: "Hey, aren't those the Crown Prince and Crown Princess?"

Several people immediately stopped and followed everyone's gaze. They saw dozens of well-trained guards escorting a man and a woman walking slowly. The originally bustling market suddenly became quiet.
