The three hundred and sixty-fourth round

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Zhenguan, the Shangyuan Festival has already learned the lesson of the lions hurting people on Suzaku Street two years ago. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there is no curfew in the one hundred and nine square squares in Chang'an City tonight, for the people to enjoy the lanterns along the street, Jin Wuwei, street envoys and left and right patrol envoys must all be dispatched to watch the night. They carried a three-foot-long horizontal knife with them, and when they didn't see it unsheathed, it was bone-chilling, which made countless Shengdou people feel a little relieved.

Qin Ying and Li Chengqian made an appointment to meet at the national acacia tree in the northernmost part of Suzaku Street. So she asked Mei Sanniang to make dinner late, and when she ran out of soup cakes and wontons, several people sat around and gossiped and ate together, and after two moments, Qin Ying went out of the house with Mei Sanniang and the geisha to enjoy the lanterns.

Originally, Qin Ying walked in a round-necked robe and boots as usual, but Mei Sanniang happened to hear Qin Ying and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking at the lights, so she persuaded Qin Ying to go back to the wing, and finally Qin Ying wore a newly cut red skirt for the New Year, so she barely got into Mei Sanniang's eyes.

Qin Ying, who is dressed as a lady, stands among the geisha of Yingying Yanyan, and she still has a unique style.

Everyone is used to seeing Qin Ying's men's clothes, and at first glance, they thought that there was someone who looked five or six points similar to her in Qin Ying's room.

And the little servants in Qin Ying's house, since Qin Ying entered and exited the courtyard in women's clothes, knew that the ordinary and very dignified head of the house was actually a good-looking lady. After a few times of great stimulation, no matter what kind of image Qin Ying used to face his subordinates, they already felt that Xi Songping was not strange.

Fortunately, no Qin Ying's enemies have sent someone to ask her if Qin Ying, the servant in the house, is a man or a woman. Otherwise, even if Qin Ying had several heads, it would not be enough.

But the knowledge of these people has become the weakness of subduing Qin Ying.

In the past few months, Qin Ying has been asking Mei Sanniang to pay her subordinates with a generous monthly money. Mei Sanniang didn't quite understand the reason at first, but then Qin Ying tapped lightly, and she quickly understood this trick, and used some trivial details to beat the little girl with a loose mouth a few times, and even used coercion.

Since then, no one dares to talk about Qin Ying's rights and wrongs, even if someone talks about it, they will keep their mouths shut, after all, the other side of Mei Sanniang has also been exposed, and they really don't dare to bear the anger of the lady in charge.

When they left Xingdao, they stood at the northernmost edge of Suzaku Street, and Qin Ying asked them to watch the lights first, but they saw that Qin Ying's women's clothes were too delicate now, and it was a little inappropriate to be alone in the crowd, so they all stayed by Qin Ying's side. It wasn't until Li Chengqian and Qin Ying met that they laughed and left side by side.

On the palace wall just now, Li Chengqian was wearing a crow-blue robe, but now he deliberately changed into a red shirt. may be to match Qin Ying's bright skirt.

She took the initiative to hold his hand, the smile on her face could no longer be hidden, and she tilted her head and said coquettishly: "Since Your Highness wants to go out of the palace to watch the lanterns and have fun with the people, why do you want to wear half a mask?" With that, the other hand reached over and opened the gap, revealing his eyebrows, which were still in the dark. The moonlight is bright and clear, but she feels that the living people and lanterns around her are the background, but he is the most real.

Li Chengqian's heart was warm when she looked at the ground, and he lowered his head and leaned into her ear and said, "If it doesn't look good, I'll pick it." ”

The man returned the favor with his own way, made Qin Ying's face crimson, retracted the hand that touched the wooden oil paint mask, and sighed: "Where will the lynx not look good." ”

Who knew that he took off his mask by himself and compared it to Qin Ying, feeling a little nondescript before he stopped thinking about putting it on her. After all, Qin Ying's Peugeot appearance is much more eye-catching than Li Chengqian's walking on the street.

After he re-fastened the strap of the mask, he scratched Qin Ying's nose, rubbed off a thin layer of powder, and muttered resentfully: "You can only show me such a good-looking thing in the future." ”

Qin Ying let him tease for a while, and stood next to his arm before he smiled and said, "Then His Highness wants to hide my golden house?" ”

On both sides of Suzaku Street are lanterns of different sizes and colors, Qin Ying and Mei Sanniang didn't look at them carefully when they came two years ago; Last year, Qin Ying was in the Xuandu Temple, and the Taoists participated in the Taoist book together; This year, she was finally able to feast her eyes on her sweetheart.

In previous years, Li Chengqian and Aya A-Niang were just watching the lights at the palace wall, not to mention that as early as three days ago, all kinds of Changming tribute lanterns were lit in the palace, illuminating the corners of each palace brightly.

But looking at the lights outside the palace, after all, it is more lively than in the palace.

Walking in the bustling world, although crowded, there is a sense of steadiness.

Unlike the Imperial Palace, which is empty and few people, when a few palace attendants accompany him to enjoy the lanterns, there are only a few footsteps that can be counted with his fingers in his ears.

Qin Ying's interest was higher than Li Chengqian's, and whenever she saw a fun lamp, she stretched out her hand to let him look in the direction, but Li Chengqian's eyes always fell in that direction for a short moment, and he silently looked at her and smiled, as if she was more dazzling than the lanterns on Zhuque Street.

……

It is nearly noon, and the imperial study of Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin held a small jade hook in his hand, paced back and forth in the huge room, looked at the dozen or so guards kneeling below with a pair of divine eyes, and said, "Who did the prince enjoy the lanterns with last night?" ”

These people had long known that they would be interrogated by His Majesty after the escort, and they had a string of words in the space for breakfast, and at this time they said in unison: "Your Highness told me to wait ten meters after following, and the people in the workshop are too messy, please forgive me for my incompetence and poor eyesight, and I didn't see the lady's appearance clearly." ”

Hearing this, he was noncommittal, and continued to ask in a different way: "Where did the prince send her after appreciating the lantern?" ”

The commander coughed and took the lead in saluting: "The two are separated on Suzaku Street. ”

Li Shimin's hand holding the jade hook tightened, and he felt that his palm was a little painful, so he slowly loosened his strength and said, "There is no mistake?" ”

These people replied one after another without humility or arrogance: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was cautious in his words and deeds last night, and he didn't reveal her news at all. ”

Hearing the words similar to the official tone, Li Shimin's expression became solemn: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned safely, and he should be rewarded." I don't know who the prince saw, and he should be punished. Do what you want. ”

He agreed to let Li Chengqian out of the palace yesterday, just to see if Li Chengqian would see Qin Ying on the night of Shangyuan Festival. But these guards who followed Li Chengqian around Chang'an City for half a circle, after coming back, they all became mutes who didn't tell the truth, which really made Li Shimin feel stuffy in his chest.

Either Li Chengqian had already taken precautions against his thoughts, or these guards had already been encircled by Li Chengqian.

If the former is the truth, Li Shimin can still accept it, but if the latter is the truth... Li Chengqian has been in the crown prince for six years, probably because he thinks he is too comfortable.
