Chapter 16: The Lantern Festival of the Dead Body
"Why don't you think the lanterns are as lively as they were when you were a child?" Su Chi was not veiled today, she carried a pink lotus lantern, and her plain clothes were all pink. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"When I was a child, my father was worried that his subordinates would not take good care of you, afraid that you would get lost, and you could only come out once in a few months, so naturally everything felt fresh. Now you go to the martial arts hall every day, and when you are idle, you also visit the restaurant Chu Pavilion, and you have become a frequent visitor to Yueyin Pavilion. I'm used to seeing the lights of Yueyin Pavilion all night, so I naturally don't look down on this lantern festival. Su Cen thought that when he went to Yueyin Pavilion a few days ago, as soon as the boss heard that he was waiting for someone, he asked if he was waiting for Miss Su. His sister is more fun-loving, and she likes to pester him to leave the house since she was a child, but how did a serious girl become a frequent visitor to a place like Yueyin Pavilion. Although Yueyin Pavilion is to receive female guests, this is too nonsense, and the most angry thing is that he doesn't know anything.
"Where my eldest brother can go, I am not allowed to go, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. Besides, I'm just going to listen to the play, and the noblewomen in Jinling are not like me alone, and Nan Qiao often goes with me. Su Chi felt that it was completely harmless for her to go to Yueyin Pavilion, to put it bluntly, this place was also a place for her to drink tea with good facilities, decoration layout, and performances.
"Can this be the same? You're a girl after all. Our Beiwan girl can consider marriage at the age of thirteen, and you will ruin your reputation like this? Princess Rong Nobunaga is such a daughter as the county lord, so naturally she will keep her for a few more years. Suzen is also okay with this attitude.
"I don't want to get married, if I really can't get married, I will say it, so let my eldest brother raise me for the rest of my life. "What Su Chi can't stand the most is the problem of early marriage of ancient girls, but Xie Yu and Su Cen often remind them. Su Cen walked in front of her, still wearing a moon-white robe with a white jade buckle belt around her waist, very energetic.
"Ah Chi, is Gongzi Cen also there?" Su Cen and Su Chi were still fighting, and when they heard the voice, they turned their heads, and it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a brown brocade suit, he was wearing civilian clothes today, and the guards behind him were also dressed in ordinary clothes.
As soon as Su Chi turned around, what caught his eyes was the pair of peach blossom eyes, and the two of them were afraid of the prince's micro-clothes, and just saluted slightly, "Your Highness."
"Your Highness is here today, on business?" Su Cen inadvertently blocked Su Chi behind him.
"I went to the Suguo Mansion, and the Guogong said that the Lantern Festival in the east of the city is a scene in Jinling. Living alone in the palace for a long time is not blessed, but there are Lao Achi and Cen Gongzi as guides. When the prince spoke, his tone was sincere, the jade crown was upright, even if he was dressed in civilian clothes, his whole body was indeed indescribably luxurious and graceful, and he really lived up to the reputation of the peony prince.
"In that case, Suzen is happy to help. It's just that the housesister is weak, and when she goes out, her father repeatedly tells her to return home as soon as possible, so why don't you order the guards at home to escort her sister home, and Suzen will guide His Highness?"
"Cen Gongzi has not been in Jinling for two years, and he should not be familiar with this Jinling. Lone is also worried about Achi's safety, why don't you send you back after swimming?" The prince obviously did not accept Su Zen's excuse.
"I don't dare to have His Royal Highness Lao, Su Cen grew up in Jinling, and I don't dare to forget for a moment in the past two years, and I still have the power to be a guide for His Highness. Ah Chi should go back first, so as not to worry his father. Zhou Fan, Zhou Cong·······" Suzen rejects the prince's suggestion and is asking his guards to send Suchi back.
"Ah Chi, go to the front. There are carp lanterns over there, the paintings are vivid, let's go, let's go······" Fu Nanqiao did not have the prestige of the county lord in front of the people before, and pulled Su Chi all the way towards the crowd.
The prince motioned for the guards to follow, and with a smile on his face, he raised his eyebrows at Su Cen and sent an invitation: "I didn't expect Nan Qiao, this girl, to come by chance, join in the fun, there are many people in front, let's follow." ”
"Not as thoughtful as His Highness. Su Cen watched Su Chi be pulled away by Fu Nan Qiao unprepared, and the speed of the wind followed, leaving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to touch his nose, and a wry smile followed.
Su Chi was pulled by Fu Nan Qiao, and Fu Nan Qiao confessed to Su Chi as he walked forward: "You don't even go to the martial arts hall every day now, and the prince's brother is often summoned by His Majesty, so it's really not easy for him to see you." What kind of expression do you have? Don't thank me. ”
Su Chi was speechless, and Su Cen, who had just come up, heard these words, and his face turned dark. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really put a lot of thought into it. Su Cen was not in a good mood, and he was not slow with a black face, and Fu Nanqiao showed his true words to Su Chi: "In order to come to see the Lantern Festival, I have been grinding my father for two or three hours, and my father always refuses to agree." Fortunately, Mama was smart, I listened to Mama's words and begged my mother, and my mother casually mentioned it to my father, and my father let me out. Fortunately, my father let me out, otherwise the prince's brother would have been disappointed. After Fu Nanqiao praised himself, he mouthed at the prince Nunu, obviously asking for credit.
The prince touched her head, turned his head and asked Su Chi, "I haven't seen her for so long, is that rabbit okay?"
Su Chi brushed his forehead, remembering that the rabbit who didn't know or was still dead said to the prince: "It's good, it's just a bit picky." ”
"Lone heard Nan Qiao say that you want to stew it? Lone has a good cook here, I can lend it to you, but remember that it is the rabbit I sent out here, but it is not delicious and exclusive!" The prince turned around as he spoke, took the lotus lamp in Su Chi's hand, and the jade pendants around his waist struck each other, making a crisp sound.
Su Chi glared at Fu Nanqiao when he heard this, "It's just a joke, the prince's brother is also helping Nan Qiao make fun of me like this now?" Su Chi did follow Fu Nanqiao to call him the prince's brother when he was young, and he went a little farther in the past two years because of Su Yuan's gesture, and Su Chi was unwilling to go against Su Yuan's intentions, but he was a little sorry for the prince. Su Yuan was reluctant to elaborate, Su Chi was ignorant, but he was not ignorant.
Su Chi was originally a sentence that ended the topic, but the prince was overjoyed by her sentence of "brother prince". Su Chi and Fu Nanqiao looked at the dazzling array of lanterns all the way, completely forgetting that they were still the nobles of Jinling, and the figures of the two shuttled through the streets. I say I look at the lights, but I have to look at everything for a while, I like it, I don't like it, I can use it, I can't use it, I am interested in everything. At first, it was given to the maids, and then it was taken by the guards, and in the end, even Su Cen and the prince took a lot of it, Fu Nanqiao has always only taken the prince as a cousin, and when he was happy, he couldn't remember that this amiable brother was still the prince of a country. Su Cen didn't play tricks on the prince in the past, and the two of them couldn't be together without a day, and what ruined the image was handed to the prince. Looking at the two people who were busy purchasing, the prince smiled bitterly in his heart: Fortunately, he was wearing casual clothes, otherwise he would have been bumped into by someone, and this ornament would be very embarrassing!
The two of them were joking, messing around, and running, completely ignoring the vision behind them, from one street to another, Su Chi was already out of breath, but Fu Nanqiao was still unsatisfied, all the way to Su Chi to the front, there was a lot of fun all night long, until the people in front of them were congested on the road, and the two of them stopped.
Su Cen asked them to stop, he gave the things in his hand to the people around him to go to the front to investigate, wanting everyone to move, Su Chi was rare to be so happy, and he didn't want to ruin her interest. Su Chi walked to the middle, he was dressed luxuriously, and he was wearing a sword, so he didn't have to squeeze and someone would naturally give way to him.
Su Cen was also surprised, it turned out that in the middle of the road, there was the body of a young man lying down, his face was pale, and his death was terrifying!
(I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year's Eve and a safe family!)
