Thirty-two years of service, Shangyuan Festival.

The snow on the pavement of Changping Street has not disappeared, and the horses' hooves are a little difficult to walk. There are lanterns all along the way, and hundreds of ten kinds of birds and beasts and flowers at four o'clock rotate in the cold wind of the imperial capital, losing the eyes of passers-by.

A few miles away from Guangdu Temple, I galloped on horseback, ice particles splashed everywhere the long whip reached, and the people on the street covered their faces with their hands, staggered back, and some people were caught off guard and fell on the slippery steps.

The Imperial City should have been imprisoned for galloping horses, but none of the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities or the patrol camp would stop the horses of the Yan family—my father would naturally not do such a repugnable thing, and I did not have the courage to hold it in my hands if I often did such a thing.

Who doesn't know that in the huge Fanjing, there are people who can do lawless things and disturb the people's hearts, except for the current Eastern Dynasty, only Yan Xiaohou, who often mixes with the Eastern Dynasty.

Let them continue to think like this.

Ever since I was three or four years old, I have developed a high-flying temperament, probably brought by my cousin. His personality is worse than mine, but he has a face like a pearl and jade, so every time he does something hurtful, there are always people who think he is innocent.

In fact, he is the most insidious and cunning person, and he is very bad.

I grabbed the reins hard and bowed down, and behind me there was the neighing of a few more horses, except for the sound of snow falling on the eaves.

The black horse from the bazaar was not very obedient, if Yongbai was here, he would have carried me to the gate of Guangdu Temple by now. I was so angry that I swung my whip backwards, and the jewelry on the stall was scattered all over the floor. The stall owner jumped three feet high in a hurry, shouting to stop the people who were rushing to grab the goods, and the crowd was instantly blocked at the fork in the road.

I glanced at my pursuers, the corners of my mouth lifted easily, but that's it. When I saw a few captains who suddenly □□ alleys five zhang away, I suddenly felt bad, when did the soldiers in the city even take care of me riding a horse? It can't be that my father feels that he is negligent in discipline on weekdays, so please ask a few old acquaintances to teach him a lesson!

I calmed down, pulled my mane and whispered, "Run faster, go back and get a reward!" ”

The leading lieutenant met my anxious gaze and smiled unprecedentedly. Next to him turned out to be Mingzhou, when did this kid enter the Soldiers and Horses?

The dark horse seemed to understand, and jumped out two steps back, followed by a gust of lightning. I didn't know that the thing I carried out had such a skill that it could throw off four military horses by several feet...... Maybe it's the result of my whip getting sore in my hands.

Not surprisingly, after a few strokes of tea, the speed of the black horse's hooves slowed down, and finally I stayed where I was, no matter how much I beat it.

Seeing that they were about to catch a living prince and hand it over to some fierce and vicious Beijing official, I stepped down, got off my horse's back and climbed over the wall of the house, and with a sigh of relief, I hurried along the wall. I heard several stones coming from behind, and I dodged left and right, beads of sweat dripping from the corners of my forehead soaking the thin layer of clothing. The first thing I do when I get home tonight is to shower and change clothes, no need to negotiate!

Looking at the densely packed heads of people under the wall, burning happily at any time, I like to stand on a high place and watch the crowd, just like the bright moon shining in the capital tonight, no matter how small the move can not hide from my eyes.

Just as he was distracted thinking, his waist and eyes suddenly hurt, and the whole person lost his balance and fell down. I cursed and shouted angrily:

"Mingzhou, what are you doing!"

Rong Jianchi always used this trick on me when he played with us, and he never dared to greet Xiaoqi directly, it was really unproductive.

I simply leaned against the pillar of the tea shed and stood up straight, and his slow voice came: "Commander Xie, the person is here." ”

I almost stared him out of a hole.

The commander of Nancheng, who was about fifty years old, got down from his horse, bowed his fists to me very kindly, and said:

"Lord Shi Xiao, who patrols the city, has been instructed by His Majesty, let me wait to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back, does the prince know where His Royal Highness is?"

I snorted coldly: "I don't know, the adult has the ability to take him himself!" ”

Mingzhou smiled dumbly, he was older than us, and he looked at us as ignorant children, I was just fed up with his eyes, saying that he was a humble gentleman, but in fact he was not a guy who looked down on people.

The commander changed the face of Deputy Yan Sù, and his tone was much more powerful: "It's better for Gongzi to tell the truth, otherwise Gongzi will be handed over to the Marquis of Duanyang, presumably Gongzi will know that he shouldn't ride a horse in the city." ”

I shook my sleeves and said, "What if I don't say it?" ”

Mingzhou didn't say a word, stepped forward and tied my hands behind my back, "Little boy is not rude like this." Where is the prince? You've made an appointment to watch the lights together. ”

I said loudly: "Mingzhou, you can't do this! You know he won't be able to get out when he goes back! ”

"Don't make a fuss, I'll take you home."

Mingzhou's right hand pointed back: "The owner of this horse will follow after a while, if you are disobedient, don't blame Lord Xie for throwing you directly into the prison of Tianjin Mansion." Your father said that if something big happens, you should not be a son. ”

The commander shouted accordingly: "If there is a person who does not obey the order, no matter which royal relatives and relatives, they will be dealt with according to the law!" Yan Gongzi, lead the way! ”

I lowered my eyes and moved my bound wrists under the cover of my sleeves, ignoring the complicated gazes of pedestrians.

…… If you tie it to the front, it will save a lot of effort.

"That's the attitude of Lord Xie? I am not afraid that the prince will be in a hurry when the time comes, and no one will be able to leave. ”

He choked for a moment, and smiled smugly: "Haven't you met Your Highness yet, there is a prince here, why is the lower official in a hurry?" ”

Mingzhou frowned invisibly, and I immediately stepped into his saddle, "Come on, the lord has made a great contribution to holding me, I will point out, you go, does this fulfill your wish?" I don't believe that His Majesty can do anything to him, today is the fifteenth, it stands to reason that it is still in the New Year's Festival, and everyone is too stiff and disturbs the scenery. ”

Mingzhou sighed: "It's rare to cooperate so much, you just stay with me obediently, don't think about it." ”

The Commander nodded, no more.

The full moon floated out of the clouds, and the group shuttled through the alley full of lanterns, and after a few turns, we said:

"The place is for you to bring, and it is not my business whether I can intercept people or not."

Mingzhou confirmed in his extremely gentle voice: "It's the three-way intersection in front, the edge of the city south of the city?" ”

There was a commotion in the crowd watching the jugglers in front of them, and there were many screams.

The Commander narrowed his eyes, "Up." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the four horses rushed out like arrows from the string, and the wind whistled by his cheeks, and the snow fell into the collars, and it was cold to the bone.

Who said that the only people who rode horses in the capital were me and the prince, these soldiers and horses were much crazier than us!

I was untying the rope quickly behind Ming Zhou, and I didn't have time to ask him what was going on, when a clear whistle came from the wall and into my ears along the wind.

"Thank you, Mingzhou!"

I immediately perked up, and sure enough, a thin rope was thrown in the air, and I held on tightly, and jumped up sharply with the violently shaking saddle, and the next moment I looked at the man who threw the rope and smiled.

"Let's go!"

The boy was dressed in black, his hair scrawled with a crown of jade, and his figure running on the eaves like lightning, and I was not far behind, following him up and down on the endless rooftops, leaving the moon and a thousand lights far behind. The more rapid the breath, the happier we became, those people had long been out of sight, and tonight was a disaster.

"I didn't expect you to come so early, and the matter in the palace was resolved?"

Colorful lanterns and clouds flickered in front of me, crowds of people were dense, and the stone roads, bridges, and markets were full of men, women and children dressed in bright new clothes.

"Hmm." He beckoned, "Go down here." ”

I jumped off the pink wall, but I saw a barren courtyard in which Yongbai was boringly digging the soil, and when he saw that it was me, he snorted and rubbed my shoulder affectionately.

I sighed, "You really have a way to get it out!" I've tried it several times, my dad locked it up so badly, how did you get the key? ”

He looked at me deeply, "Do you have to have a key?" ”

I suddenly had a bad feeling, "Where's the stable door?" ”

He innocently said: "Split." ”

I didn't speak.

He coughed and continued, "You're all like this, and it's a pity for your door?" Wooden ones are worthless. I came out earlier than expected, climbed down from the wall of the side door and knocked on your window to find that you had left first, so I took Yongbai and ran out of Changqingfang, just in time to hear a few people driving horses on the street - I looked, it turned out that you were causing trouble! ”

I punched him in the chest, "You're embarrassed to say me, what about the rest of our horses?" Where did you put it? Those people can't control them at all! ”

He didn't listen at all, leaned against the wall idly, pulled a leaf and said to himself: "I saved you today, you say another word, I will tell my uncle to read those books when I get to the court meeting after tomorrow......"

"Joke, you promise you haven't seen it?"

He became more and more unnatural, and his ears were slightly red, which I must have said. In fact, the most well-informed is the books on the market that cannot be elegantly stated, although the two of us often listen to Mr. in the palace, we are fighting to be more benevolent and pure, and if the Taifu knows what he is doing in secret, he will not be able to break his legs at home. The obscene lyrics and songs he got from Guozi Jian are not worth mentioning, but he really made a mistake this time.

I was too happy to see that he was embarrassed, so I led the horse and said, "You turned over my strategy in "Liezi"? No wonder it's so sure. What about you, where are you sandwiching those things? ”

He said generously: "I still use it in the Four Books and Five Classics? Directly under the pillow, who dares to flip? ”

"Your dad doesn't flip it?"

"It's not like my dad hasn't seen it, isn't it interesting to turn over his son?"

"Does Mr. Ling know?"

He said solemnly: "Mr. Ling also recommended a few books to me, and I will copy the title of the book to you with a note next time." ”

I said helplessly: "You just can't tell me directly." ”

He hesitated for a moment, "If I say, I'm not too embarrassed to say it, will you believe it?" ”

“…… What the hell are you looking at? ”

Ling Jieyu didn't look like the kind of person who fueled his habits. However, he has never been a rigid teacher, so His Majesty chose him for his only son instead of other elderly Confucians.

But no matter how enlightened you are, you can't be enlightened like this, right?

"Alright," he said, throwing away the leaf, "let's hurry to Guangdu Temple, I have something important to do, and I can't delay." ”

I rode on Yongbai and said with a smile: "Haven't you always believed in Buddhism?" Could it be that there are too many incense sticks today, and you want to try it yourself? ”

He flew up and sat behind me and said loudly: "Yongbai, let's ignore him, he talks too much!" ”

Riding out of a secluded corner, the pagoda of Guangdu Temple shines brightly on the clear black curtain, and the thirteen splendor colors reflect a rare night pearl at the spire.

I said to him, "Xiaoqi, let's run over!" ”

He touched the horse's stock with a broken branch, and Yongbai understood, and ran to Huiya Street with a hiss.

"We just had to enter the temple first, and they couldn't help it. Commander Xie was wearing a military uniform, so he could only wait outside, and if he didn't wait, Mingzhou would also pull him to prevent him from breaking into the Buddhist Gate. You told Mingzhou in advance, right? He put the water too strictly, I'm really afraid that he will be punished! ”

We stuck to our horses, watching the bustling pedestrians panic to give way, even the normally quiet road was in a hurry, and there was a crooked old man with inconvenient legs and feet in the middle of the road. I pulled the reins to control the horse, Yongbai avoided the obstacles with ease, and ran a few alleys with ease, Xiaoqi climbed on my shoulder, turned back and laughed and shouted:

"I'm sorry I borrowed it! I'll apologize to you all another day! ”

I snapped his hand off, "Shut up! Still too few chasers? ”

He hurriedly straightened up, "Don't make a mistake ahead, turn left from the third intersection, and I'll get a novice to answer." ”

Guangdu Temple only opened the main gate to welcome pilgrims, the back street of the Linzang Sutra Building was even more deserted than the small courtyard just now, a few girls who bought incense sticks heard the movement of the horse's hooves and looked up, all looked at us with wide eyes, Xiaoqi threw down the hat he was carrying in his arms, and said lightly:

"When someone asked, the little lady only said that she had never seen us!"

The girls chattered and snatched the hood, and boldly said directly: "Don't worry, we don't know anything, don't worry!" ”

I scolded, "That's what you learned from a book?" ”

He was very satisfied, and he rode on the horse with his eyebrows open: "In the past, there were ancients who threw fruit and car, and now I have ......."

I felt so humiliated that I wanted to throw him off my horse, and struck him with an elbow on a half-healed knife wound to the lower ribs. He took a breath of cool air, and in the blink of an eye he started to move, and after a few difficult tricks on horseback, Yongbai was accustomed to this, and carried us to the back door.

"Hey! Ay! Don't fight, two donors! ”

A seven or eight-year-old little novice wore monk's robes and carried a paper lantern to poke his head out behind the door, "Amitabha, the Buddha door is quiet and no noise!" ”

Xiaoqi withdrew his hand and jumped off the horse, cut his hair crown, and performed a namaste:

"Little Master, this horse should be put in the backyard."

He always spoke very gently to others, but his bones were full of arrogant commands, and I grew up with him since I was a child, and I couldn't be more familiar with his habits.

The little novice looked at him with a frown, thought about it for a while, and said, "Thank you for helping the poor monk clean the Buddha platform last time, and this time the poor monk will let you in, ah, don't tell my master." ”

I led Yongbai to step into the threshold and said solemnly: "Dare to ask the Venerable Master's number?" ”

Xiao Shami shrank and looked at us aggrievedly: "That's what you said about Master Jianhai, Master met guests in the Cloud Hall and asked me to clear the snow in the courtyard." ”

"What do you call Little Master?"

"Round Sky."

It was the youngest generation in Guangdu Temple, and I said to Xiaoqi: "You sneaked out in the middle of the night a month ago and came here?" went back, but was caught by Lu Ah Gong. ”

He ignored it, and walked slowly to the courtyard on the stone steps, where the vegetable furrow between the two peach trees was covered with white, and the courtyard seemed much larger than usual.

Guangdu Temple covers an area of 100 acres, in addition to the main hall, with the hall people are many eyes mixed, the east of the Zhaitang tea hall even if it is the night of Shangyuan can not be stopped, the monks of the whole temple are concentrated in front of the Dharma Hall. After the afternoon lecture was over, the Dharma hall was locked, and the threshold of the Mahavira Hall was almost worn out by the trouser legs of the pilgrims.

The little novice tied his horse to the peach tree and looked around from side to side: "You can't do anything that disturbs the peace of my Buddha, I'll bring it here, you go and go back quickly, remember not to go to the Dharma Hall!" ”

I thanked him, followed Xiaoqi step by step, and didn't ask him where he was going. The branches swayed, and the sound of the pagoda's bells wafted in the evening breeze, causing people to escape from the noise outside the temple.

Between the Guanyin Hall and the Medicine Master Hall, there were several novice guards, leaning against the red pillar, he took out a key from his sleeve pocket and pointed to the gate. If the temple is not open today, it is difficult for him to risk being caught so persistently.

We did this kind of thing very tacitly, and the other end made a noise, and the other end immediately unlocked and entered the house, because the guards were very relaxed, and soon both of them were in the house. It is necessary to know that this tile is made by a layman, and the specifications of Guangdu Temple are different from ordinary temples, and the use of extremely strong green glazed tiles is not easy to achieve the purpose.

"In the twentieth palace of Layue, there is a festival in the temple, and I have privately played a few according to the keys of each hall, and I can't imagine that I can still use it."

The moonlight is sprinkled all over the hall, there is no candle flame, and the Guanyin monk who is enshrined on the stage holds a pure bottle of willow and looks down on us lovingly.

I sat with him on the futon, and the shadow dragged out two of them on the gray ground, so that they would not leak out the door. He bent his legs for a while, knelt in front of the Buddha statue and bowed three times, touching the ground with his head, and his posture was tight.

When he bowed, I said softly, "Do you really believe this?" ”

"I don't believe it," his dark eyes stared at the burnt wax table, "but the concubine believes it." I dreamed of A-Niang last night, today is Shangyuan, if she is here, maybe she will ask me to come to the temple on her behalf to pray for the blessing of the family. It's too noisy in front of me, and it's too quiet in the palace, so I want to find a pleasant place to talk to the Buddha. Even if there were no incense offerings, if there were gods, they would not have bothered with me. ”

I sat closer to him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Take off your robe." I did as I was told, and he spread my robe on the ground and lay down lazily with his feet still on the futon. I dragged halfway through and lay on the ground myself, still a little cold.

"What did the queen say in front of Her Majesty?"

"Nope."

He faced me, ruffling his loose hair, and his voice deepened a little: "It's just my feelings." ”

I thought, "Is it a matter of the court?" What does it matter to your mother? ”

He closed his eyes suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and he said in a very low voice: "Xiao Xu, I think...... General Lu's injuries are not healed. ”

There was a commotion outside the house, and fireworks could be heard blooming in the sky, and the scenery inside the temple seemed to be illuminated by lightning intermittently.

I was worried: "You went to General Lu's house on Chinese New Year's Eve, but he still can't get off the house?" ”

We stayed in Lu Jiajun intermittently for three years, Lu Ming was a very spiritual person, and he was instructed by His Majesty to hang us in a big tent and personally take the handle of the knife to smoke, which hurt terribly, and often let us get up early to practice with blood stains. We miss him during the holidays, after all, he is a good teacher in addition to being strict. Xiaoqi's body was not fully injured, but he himself fell on the horse's back on the spot.

He was silent for a long time, looking at the sparse moonlight in the window, "Xugui, General Lu is not my grandfather. I know it all, Wei Yu is. ”

Before I had time to sit up incredulously, he continued to murmur: "I have always dreamed of A-Niang during this time, I have read her letters, and then I went to Shangshu Mansion, then to Agarwood Palace, and then to General Lu. Do you know why my father chose to acquiesce at this time, I know, he is going to do something to the Lu family. Maybe it's spring, maybe it's summer, but General Lu himself can't even make it through three months. ”

"But you have always treated him as his ancestor, and Wei Shangshu doesn't even enter Mingshui Garden often!"

Wei Yu is a great Confucian in the world, and he is the first person in the past hundred years of calligraphy and painting, with customers all over the world and many children under his knees, but who would have thought that the deceased Concubine Lu Hui was his biological daughter.

I thought that Wei Yu's wife was Lu Ming's cousin, and she might have some in-law relationship, so I sent Concubine Hui to the Lu family to raise her. Lu Ming's character is second to none, and he only has one son, so he regards Concubine Hui as his own daughter.

He sighed: "It's only been four years since A-Niang died, and he can't wait." ”

I patted him on the shoulder twice, "It's just your conjecture, Your Majesty doesn't have enough reason to eradicate the Lu family army now, and everyone knows General Lu's loyalty, even if there is a Yuan clan who is separated from him, His Majesty may not necessarily listen to it." ”

He shook his head and said: "The foundation is not something that can be shaken by Yuan Xiang and the queen in a few words, it is himself, and he no longer believes in them." He has become a lot over the years since the death of his mother, and Mr. Ling always told me that people's hearts are unpredictable, and I think he has seen through it. ”

I was also silent for a long time, "I thought that you, the Eastern Dynasty, still have some weight in His Majesty's heart, you want to pay for the Canadian dollar this year, and the affairs of the government will be in your hands, and it is not impossible to think about it at that time." ”

He was silent, and I said, "Tonight, if we haven't said anything to anyone, go back and sleep well for four or five hours, and do what we should do tomorrow morning." ”

The fireworks burst in the air, the snow light shone on the Bodhisattva's forehead, and the compassionate eyes hung low in the darkness, unable to see really.

I don't know how long later, he got up from the ground with his arms propped up, shook the incense ash on his body, and gave the Bodhisattva a long stroke:

"It's Sheng Yunyi's disrespect, don't blame Xiao Yan Gongzi."

He turned to me and said seriously, "I'm in a bad mood, but fortunately you still come out with me to relax." It can't be so deserted at night, Hanshuiju has to let Oiran pick up guests every fifteenth, do you want to go? ”

I said he was a scourge, and he was so bold that he didn't know what to do.

I was a little weak and looked away from the Bodhisattva's discerning eyes, "I didn't bring any money, you can pay it." ”

We slipped out of the Guanyin Hall while the monks were changing shifts, and the night was thick, but the light of Fanjing City would not be extinguished. The novice who had led us into the courtyard fell asleep by the well, and Xiaoqi turned my robe as a cushion over him, untied the white rope, and made a gesture at me, and I lightly led the horse out of the side door next to the scripture building.

He stood in the empty courtyard, his chin slightly raised, still proud, but his eyes were gloomy. I don't think he needs to be so sad, even if his instincts have always been accurate, there is no way to do it. And I always think the same thing with him, and he won't feel alone when something happens later.

That's it.

Yongbai ran crazy with two people, I don't know if Mingzhou said that the commander Xie put down the task and returned to the official office, in short, the road to Lianchifang was too smooth, and he didn't meet half of the soldiers patrolling the night.

After the fireworks were over, the people returned to their homes one after another, the coachmen were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and many vendors also closed their stalls. When the clock rang for a long time, the light of the full moon quieted down, and the girl in front of the pond lotus shop yawned and pulled people into the tall building with a smile.

Yongbai doesn't like the smell of fat powder, and neither do we. I guess he's the same as I am coming to this kind of place for the first time, just to be curious, and he has to see everything he says before he can make an evaluation, so we're here to prove it.

The flowery old bustard greeted him, with a smile in every wrinkle: "Two little boys, the horses are in the stable at the back of our house, you can rest assured!" ”

Xiaoqi took out the money bag, and without saying a word, he divided half of the silver ticket out: "Is Miss Bang Xiang empty now?" ”

His hands did not tremble at all, his face was cold, and he stood very conspicuous in the crowd, and it was estimated that the eyes of those girls were straight. I was extremely uncomfortable, and I was pierced with hot eyes, who could be better, and he was happy to move forward.

A girl in a pink dress covered her mouth and smiled: "Ah, it's really not the right time for the little boy to come, Sister Bang Xiang is in the room, but she is not good today, and she doesn't see guests." ”

I leaned over slightly and said with a smile: "My brother and I came here just to catch up with the Xiangxiang girl on the good day of the Shangyuan Festival. ”

Xiaoqi followed my words and said: "Yes, presumably Miss Bangxiang is not such a layman, but the etiquette must be thorough, so you can take this silver ticket, whether she sees us or not, she always has her mind." ”

"Ouch, look at what the son said, where are there two guests to see a girl!" The old bustard and a group of girls all laughed, "We also have Lan Xiao, Qiu Lian, and Yunshuang, all of whom are famous Qingqi people in Fanjing City......

The eyes of the lobby were focused on us, the rooms on the second floor were brightly lit, and behind a few doors came out to see the lively women, dressed unusually flamboyantly and charmingly. It should be the residence of an ordinary girl in the building, and the third floor is a very expensive room.

He stood in front of the screen and raised his eyebrows, put a gold bead between his fingers, and said slowly: "I heard that Oiran's house is in the second room on the left side of the top floor?" ”

The girls nodded.

His wrist flicked, and he only heard a slight "clanging", and the gold bead smashed accurately on the carved door on the third floor.

There was silence in the lobby, and I waited for a moment with my arms crossed, and sure enough, a maid came out of the door and said loudly:

"The girl invited the sons to come up for tea."

He smiled and said, "It is abrupt to defile the girl's residence with yellow and white things." ”

I was amazed, and Ling Jieyu's proud protégé really lived up to his reputation.

The room of the Oiran is elegant and tidy, and the incense burner is refreshing. He and I sat on the circle chair, and one of us was holding a white jade bottle and drinking as if it were a mountain.

Bang Xiang inserted a jade tea flower in his sideburns, stroked the pipa with his slender hand, lowered his head and tried the test, and said softly and casually:

"The two sons are expensive this year?"

We looked at each other and said in unison, "Fourteen." ”

Bang Xiang's blue gauze skirt dragged on the carpet, the shawl trembled, and the dimples on the back lip could no longer be tightened, and he covered his face with a Luo fan and laughed.

I didn't hear it, and when I looked up at him, he looked so serious that he couldn't do it:

"I really just want to see the girl, the girl is in good spirits, don't you want to play a song for us?"

Bang Xiang easily stopped laughing, "Okay, okay, what does the little boy want to listen to?" ”

The sound of the pipa flowed faintly in the quiet night, and I looked out the window to see the city of lanterns blooming silently. The drum is accompanied by the sound of the distant flute, and it turns out that the moonlight after the snow in Fanjing is so beautiful.

He was also distracted, looking at the chic wine glass in his hand in a daze, which was a love I had never seen before.

"It's late at night, do you want to stay here?"

Bang Xiang looked at us with a smile, and put the pipa on the long case.

I arched my hand and said, "The girl's song is so good that it is better to see it than to hear it." ”

"Ah, is that all?" There seemed to be pity in her eyes.

Xiaoqi pushed away the chair and stood up, "The girl's clothes are also very good-looking." ”

Bang Xiangjiao smiled: "It's really ...... Don't come to this kind of place in the future, if you don't agree, don't wronged yourself. But thank you for the gold beads. ”

When we came out of Hanshuiju, we were halfway through our time. This time, I stayed outside late enough, and my father must have sent someone to block the gate and side door of the mansion to prevent me from entering, and Xiaoqi didn't know how to get back to his dormitory.

The scenery on the street was painted with a bright silver white, and it was almost impossible to tell whether it was snow or moonlight, and no one walked around in this square anymore, and the ticking sound of melting snow on the eaves could be heard clearly.

We led our horses in the faint shadows, and we had nothing to say, nor did we feel bored, so we walked a hundred and ten steps, and suddenly our feet stopped.

A sedan chair with a blue curtain appeared out of thin air on the street, and the sedan chair driver was dressed in dark clothes, equipped with a long knife, and the scabbard was embroidered with silver.

He grabbed me, "You go back first, go now." ”

I sighed and said, "Look at how I can go." ”

He had never been so flustered, his palms were sweaty, and he lowered his voice and said, "I really didn't know he would come, Ah Gong told me that he was in Mingshui Yuan all night!" ”

We spun around in place, watching the sedan curtain be lifted, and a person slowly paced out of it, dressed in a silver fox fur, with a river of snow in his eyes.

He stood by the pink wall, his whole body was full of cold coercion, like a thousand eyes falling on us, his eyebrows slightly locked.

Then he walked up to us step by step, his voice as cold as ice: "Are you going to sleep outside the Changping Gate for a night, or do you want to break into the palace ban?" ”

I gritted my teeth and knelt down, and listened to Xiaoqi stiffen his waist and answer three words:

"Don't dare to break in."

Jinshang took his clenched right hand, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he actually smiled: "Then you don't have to go back with me, you don't have to attend tomorrow's court meeting, you still have half of the silver ticket on you, why don't you be at ease in this fireworks alley?" ”

He's grown a little taller in the past few months, and he doesn't have to tilt his head too low when talking to him today, he can't resist this tone.

"It's too expensive, half of it is only enough to listen to five songs, and I can't stay all night."

Imakami scoffed: "That's it." ”

He looked at me again and said, "Master Hou is waiting for you in the mansion, don't let him wait." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, it was too lucky today, it turned out that the commander said that today's oracle was indeed true. The palace door was locked and could not be opened again unless the order of the Son of Heaven was ordered, and it was not easy for Xiaoqi to go in, so he came to pick up people in person.

On the Shangyuan Festival, people in the world probably can't bear loneliness.

Jinshang turned around, Xiaoqi made a goodbye gesture to me, and followed him into the sedan chair. I saw a complicated expression on his face, facing the moonlight, difficult to discern.
