Chapter 17: The Lantern Festival

She had been thinking about how to skip the Shen family with Bai Zhen, and at that moment just now, she suddenly had a clear mind.

Bai Zhen hates the ministers, so why don't the Shen family become a knife for Bai Zhen, help Bai Zhen weaken the power of the princely general, and then hand over power on his own, although he will lose a lot of things accordingly, but the Shen family can also be preserved.

Zhao Chong saw her with a smile in his eyebrows, his heart was already rippling, and he suddenly spoke: "Tomorrow's Japanese Festival, there will be a lantern festival in the city, and there will be fireworks." ”

After speaking, he felt a little abrupt, and remedied: "Niangniang can go to watch with Mingguang." ”

That being said, as long as Shen Ruojiao goes to the Lantern Festival, what is the difficulty of creating a coincidence, and it will not be rude to mention going all the way at that time.

He knew that he wanted to be the imperial concubine, and he was really bold, but Bai Zhen only let her enter the palace in order to stabilize his power, and he had no feelings for her......

Shen Ruojiao didn't like to be lively, and was not interested in the fireworks of this lantern festival.

But Shen Ke said lovingly: "Go and have a look, you should be distracted." ”

She knew that Shen Ke was worried about her, so she had no choice but to respond, just to reassure her father.

Qi Dynasty entered spring overnight.

If you want to go out yesterday, you have to always prepare your fur, but today it is a warm spring, the warm sun is warm, and you will feel hot and dry when you take two more steps. Stay until sunset, and finally have a little coolness.

When I left the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sun had not yet completely set, and the sky gradually dimmed when I walked all the way from the street to the market. The afterglow of the twilight sunset is faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles, adding a bit of hazy poetry to the prosperous evening scene of Qijing City.

Today's lantern festival is really grand and extraordinary, everywhere the lanterns are hung with colors, the city is full of fire trees and silver flowers, coming and going Qiluo, noisy and drums, and sheng songs are endless.

The long street is crowded with people, BMW incense cars are endless, and the small shops next to the street are full of all kinds of lanterns, colorful and adorned with the long street, and the streamers chase each other and shine brightly. Many girls meet to enjoy the lanterns, dress up and travel, talk and laugh all the way, and boil the sky.

Occasionally, there are jugglers performing on the street, swallowing swords with their mouths, eating fire and spitting fire, attracting onlookers.

Shen Ruojiao and Shen Ruhao walked through the streets of Qijing City, such fireworks could not be seen in the palace. Because she was worried about causing criticism, Shen Ruojiao covered her face with tulle, but the tulle could cover her stunning face, but she couldn't hide her noble bearing, which still attracted the attention of others.

Shen Ruojiao frowned, and suddenly regretted it.

When it gets dark, there will only be more and more people.

Shen Ruojiao was absent-minded, and bumped into a young girl head-on, and the liquid food in the girl's hand spilled on her shoulder.

The girl hurriedly said sorry.

Shen Ruojiao also bowed her head and apologized: "It's because I didn't look at the road carefully." ”

Jiyue hurriedly took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped it for Shen Ruojiao, Shen Ruojiao took the handkerchief and brushed away a few drops of filth on her face.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the handkerchief that Shen Ruojiao was holding lightly floated out.

Shen Ruojiao subconsciously stretched out her hand, but she didn't have time to grab it.

The handkerchief was carried by the wind and crashed into the arms of a man in Xuanyi a few feet away, and the man in Xuanyi gently took the handkerchief in his hand and looked at Shen Ruojiao.

Seeing this, Jiyue hurriedly stepped forward and took the handkerchief back.

The man in the dark robe had an ordinary appearance, but he had an indescribable temperament, and he smiled at Shen Ruojiao from a distance and bowed his hand.

Shen Ruojiao frowned, returned a salute, looked away, and continued to walk forward with Shen Ruhao.

I don't know if she's too sensitive, she always feels like she's seen this man in a dark coat somewhere.

Ji Yue suddenly sighed: "Lady, this handkerchief is threaded." ”

Shen Ruojiao glanced back, this was her favorite handkerchief, for a long time, she said indifferently: "Throw it away." ”

Shen Ruhao keenly sensed that his sister was in a bad mood, and after looking around, his eyes locked on a lantern full of light.

The lantern is carved bamboo as a frame, covered with silk yarn, the lamp cover is decorated with glazed colored shells, and a lifelike red plum is painted on the lamp surface, which looks extravagant and compelling.

"Chun'er, look at that lamp, do you like it?"

Shen Ruojiao turned her head to look at it, nodded and said, "It's beautiful." ”

Shen Ruhao smiled: "Then you wait for me here." ”

Shen Ruojiao nodded obediently.

She and Jiyue stood under a huge locust tree, staring at Shen Ruhao's figure.

I saw Shen Ruhao squeezing in front of the stall, and after negotiating with the stall owner, he took a pile of red paper from the stall owner's hand.

This red plum lamp may be the color head of the lantern riddle.

Shen Ruhao turned his head and smiled comfortingly at Shen Ruojiao, making an expression of ambition.

Shen Ruojiao chuckled helplessly.

Suddenly, a large crowd of people crowded from behind.

"It's Xiao Caiyi!"

"Xiao Caiyi, Xiao Niangzi is in front!"

It was a group of strong men, squeezing forward with a feverish expression, and they didn't even notice the two delicate ladies under the tree.

Whose name is being shouted from their mouths is constantly attracting people to join the crowd.

Shen Ruojiao and Ji Yue were scattered almost instantaneously.

Jiyue was squeezed behind, and Shen Ruojiao was squeezed forward by the crowd.

Shen Ruojiao anxiously looked in Shen Ruhao's direction and wanted to call him.

But the voices of the crowd were so loud that her voice was completely muffled.

I don't know how long I walked forward like this, the crowd finally stopped, Shen Ruojiao breathed a sigh of relief, and struggled to squeeze out of the crowd.

The evening breeze was blowing, and it was cool, and Shen Ruojiao realized that the veil was squeezed off.

She can't care about so much at the moment, she has to hurry up and meet her brother.

She tried to walk in the direction she had come, but the more she walked, the fewer people she walked, the way she walked completely deviated from the long street, and the noise of the market became weaker and weaker, and when she found herself on the wrong path, she had come to a small alley where no one was around.

It's supposed to be a home, but everyone has gone out to watch the lantern festival, which is why it's so deserted.

Shen Ruojiao immediately turned around and walked back, but heard the sound of broken footsteps behind her.

Her breathing was sluggish, and if it was an ordinary passerby, her steps should be smooth and gentle, and she wouldn't be so sneaky, so she was followed.

Shen Ruojiao adjusted her mood and continued to walk forward with unhurried steps.

When he reached the corner of the alley, Shen Ruojiao's figure flashed, leaned against the wall with bated breath, slowly took a bead hairpin from his head, and held it in his hand.

She wouldn't mind poking the tail straight down the throat if necessary.

Shen Ruojiao's eyes were fierce, his fists were clenched, and he was ready to attack at any time.

She stared so intently at the entrance of the alley that she didn't notice a crack in the wooden door behind her.

The footsteps at the entrance of the alley were getting closer and closer, Shen Ruojiao raised her wrist, and suddenly there was a strange sound behind her, and the cold big palm covered her mouth, Shen Ruojiao's waist and abdomen were choked by a strong and powerful arm, and the whole person was forcibly carried into the door.
