The Spring Festival of the fourth year of Yonghe, from the capital to the north and south of the river, is extremely lively.

Three years of national filial piety, the whole world is forbidden to feast and drink, and now in addition to filial piety, there is naturally more jubilation, as if ushering in a new world.

Three years ago, Emperor Tianxi suddenly contracted a cold, I don't want to cause an arrow wound in the early years, and he died in a few days, and the prince of the East Palace successfully ascended the throne, which was for Emperor Qianfeng, changed the name of the country to Yonghe, and the country was filial piety for three years, and it was Yonghe for four years after the New Year.

In recent years, there were few wars in Dafeng, after Emperor Qianfeng ascended the throne, he made great efforts, reduced taxes, recuperated, Dafeng became more prosperous, and the country and the people were safe.

The year has passed and ushered in the most lively Shangyuan Festival of the year, the streets and alleys of the capital have hung up large and small lanterns as early as a few days ago, and set up a large-scale lighthouse, tonight is the day of the Shangyuan Festival, it is not dark yet, the street is already bustling, crowded with people.

King Jing's Mansion, since four years ago, after the Jingwang Mansion changed, the main courtyard Zihan Courtyard was sealed, and the kapok that the old King Jing specially planted for Shen Qin's family outside the Zihan Courtyard was also deserted.

The princesses of the past dynasties have lived in the Zihan Courtyard, and the people in the palace only thought that the prince and princess would renovate the Zihan Courtyard and move to the main courtyard to live. I don't want the princess to be troublesome, although the Zihan Courtyard has been renovated, the princess and the prince still live in the Bright Moon Courtyard on the edge of the Zihan Courtyard.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, in the courtyard of the bright moon, the palace lights are hung high, bright as day.

Although it was not dark, the lights were already lit in the main room, and there were many people inside, and suddenly there was a loud and joyful cry of children.

"Oops, it's moved, my sister really moved!"

In the house, the charcoal pot is extremely warm, on the beauty couch by the window, Yingluo is wearing a loose wide-sleeved Shu brocade long gown with cherry red gold silk brocade peony pattern, and a set of pomegranate red Suzhou embroidered branch rose Yuehua skirt, combing a simple ingot, swaying obliquely on the crested crest, lazily leaning on the big pillow with ink pine pattern, raising her hand to stroke the braids of the late sister in her arms, and saying in a slightly serious voice: "You see that the mother concubine didn't lie to you, my sister is greeting our late sister!" The younger sister will have to take care of her a lot in the future, and be like the eldest sister, but she can't be naughty all day long! You know? ”

Yingluo has not moved since she gave birth to her late sister and brother Xi four years ago, and she doesn't want to be diagnosed again this autumn.

Sister Wan and Brother Xi are five years old this year, and they have reached the time when they are ignorant of the governor.

Two years ago, Brother Xi was already enlightened, he began to get up early every day at a young age, go to school and read, he was talented and intelligent, and was often praised by his husband, and now he has learned a lot of words, and the books of enlightenment can be read by himself.

And because the younger sister is a girl, Qin Yan said that she doesn't need to work so hard, she just has to be pampered and grow up, and the younger sister is not learned and unskilled, and she is lawless, but now she only knows a few dozen words, and she knows that she is naughty and mischievous all day long, and she is about to become a well-known little bully in the capital.

The late sister heard her mother say that she was naughty, but she was not angry, and the black eyes on the delicate little face buried in Yingluo's arms gurgled down.

She was thinking wildly, and when she rolled her eyes, she saw that she was quietly like a little adult, and Brother Xi, who was sitting on the spring bench at some point, had put down the Luban lock in his hand and was staring at herself.

Brother Xi'er's eyes are obviously exactly the same as those of the younger sister, and the children's eyes are dark, clear and clear, but somehow, Brother Xi'er's eyes are a little respectable and cold at a young age, as if he understands everything.

was stared at by Brother Xi, the late sister blinked, glared at the younger brother in warning, and then suddenly raised her head, looked at Yingluo pitifully and said: "The mother concubine has a well-behaved and obedient, cute and delicate little daughter, doesn't she like the late sister?" ”

Her appearance has inherited the advantages of Yingluo and Qin Yan, and her facial features are delicate and make people sigh, and now she is so teary-eyed, and she pouts her red little mouth, and her face is full of anxiety and sadness.

On weekdays, the younger sister is loved by the queen mother, the eldest princess, the emperor and the queen and other elders, Qin Yan also spoils her very much, and there is the unconditional pampering and connivance of An An, the eldest cousin who has become the prince, and the younger sister is a character who can go to the house to expose the tiles.

Yingluo will still restrain her a little, but now seeing that the younger sister shows such a pitiful expression, Yingluo, as a mother, although she knows that this daughter is eccentric at a young age, but she would never have thought that such a young child would pretend to fool people.

Thinking that there are generally small children, the older ones will be more or less delicious, feel that the mother has been robbed, and worry that the mother only likes the younger siblings who are lower, and the heart is lost and sad.

Yingluo suddenly couldn't care about reversing the stubborn nature of the late sister, softened her slightly stern face, stroked the younger sister's face distressedly, and said: "How come, the younger sister is the first child of the mother's concubine, and the little fairy who first came to the mother's side, the mother concubine has many children, and my younger sister is irreplaceable." ”

The late sister laughed even though she opened her eyebrows, shook Yingluo's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother, the late sister has grown up now, and she has long been naughty, and the emperor's uncle who entered the palace yesterday praised the younger sister, saying that the late sister is worthy of being the daughter of her father, and the tiger girl has everyone's style!" ”

Yingluo saw that the late sister's face was full of pride, and she couldn't help but smile, so she listened to Brother Xi next to her: "Yesterday, the emperor met the envoy from Gao Mi in the Qiankun Palace, and the younger sister hid in the side hall and peeked, and hit the nose of the envoy with a slingshot, almost breaking the nasal bone. ”

Yingluo's face darkened when she heard this, and the evening sister shrank her neck even more, not daring to look at Yingluo

neck, didn't dare to meet Yingluo's gaze, turned around and glared at Brother Xi hatefully, and said, "I want you to talk more!" Also, what a late sister! I'm your sister! Call sister! ”

Most of the things about the late sister are passed on to Yingluo's ears through Brother Xi'er's mouth, and the younger brothers of other people's families are obedient and cute, relying on the considerate sister, although Brother Xi and the younger sister are twins, but they are noisy on weekdays.

Sister Late thinks that Brother Xi'er's younger brother is really uncute! Obviously younger than her, he doesn't play with her every time, he doesn't like to participate in many fun things, and he still looks at her as a sister with a kind of naïve and helpless eyes.

Not cute!

Regarding the slander of the late sister, as well as the resentful gaze she stared at, Brother Xi didn't even look at it.

The late sister had no choice but to take Brother Xi'er, so she pulled Yingluo's sleeve aggrievedly, and said softly: "Mother, look at him!" The younger sister also wants to be a good eldest sister, but Brother Xi never calls me my sister, and when the younger brothers and sisters come out in the future, they don't respect me as the eldest sister, how can I be a good eldest sister! ”

Yingluo was twisted on the soft pillow by her shaking body, a little helpless, but she felt that what the late sister said was not unreasonable, although the temperament of the two, Brother Xi is more like an elder brother, but the young and old are orderly, what should be is what, even if the late sister is naughty, she is also a sister, she is the eldest daughter of the palace, Yingluo looked at Brother Xi and said, "Brother Xi, I will call my sister in the future!" ”

Sister Wan didn't feel that she raised her little chin triumphantly, and Brother Chong Xi snorted proudly, who knew that Brother Xi still didn't look at her, but only said obediently to Yingluo: "Yes, mother." After that, he looked at his younger sister and called out without blinking, "Sister." ”

His reaction like this immediately made Sister Wan feel that her fist had hit the cotton ball, which was not interesting at all. And although Brother Xi called her sister on her lips, she always felt that the stinky boy's eyes were not like that at all, as if she was still making fun of her for being naïve!

Sister Evening was even more depressed, but she couldn't continue to hold on to Brother Xi, that would make no sense, she pursed her mouth and sulked.

Over there, Brother Xi stood up, lifted the teapot on the table of the Eight Immortals and poured a glass of water.

He is wearing a festive pomegranate red and bright purple two-color flowering eight-group Shu brocade wide-sleeved small undergarment robe today, with a multicolored silk knot and long spike palace silk around his waist, a pair of green satin royal blue foundation boots embroidered with silver silk moire on his feet, a delicate jade collar hanging on his neck, hair has been left on his head, the braid is decorated with a red rope and tied to the top of the hair, buckled with a plain silver crown, young age, but the temperament has been calm, this dress is quite a bit of the temperament of a noble son.

Although he is still young, his demeanor and movements are unhurried, quite methodical, and he pours tea with a teapot that is too big and heavy for him, but he is not half embarrassed, but rather elegant and calm.

He poured a cup of water and brought the tea cup to Yingluo, and said, "Mother and concubine drink some more tea, and the prince and brother will come in a while, and it is always not convenient to drink tea when you go out." ”

Yingluo looked at her son, who was still young, but always behaved calmly and sensibly, a little helpless, although she was pleased with his well-behaved etiquette, but she always felt that Brother Xi was less lively and naughty at this age, and probably parents would suffer from such gains and losses to their children.

However, Yingluo was used for her son's thoughtful care, took a sip of the teacup, gently stroked the top of his hair, and said, "Good boy." ”

Sister Wan'er wrinkled her nose and snorted at Brother Xi'er, but at this time, there was a commotion and footsteps outside, and the voice of a maid came from under the corridor.

"The prince is back!"

Before Yingluo could react when she heard this, the younger sister who was snuggling next to her raised her little buttocks, jumped out of bed, and called "Daddy is back", the voice did not fall, and the person rushed out like a gust of wind.

Soon there was a sound of the evening sister's laughter and Qin Yan's low voice in response from time to time under the corridor, Yingluo shook her head with a smile, raised her body slightly, and saw the light and shadow of the outer room flickering, and a tall and straight figure could be seen faintly walking over at the screen.

Qin Yan hugged his sister with one arm, and the meteor quickly bypassed the screen, and after entering the house, his eyes fell straight on Yingluo's body, and said, "Are you okay today?" ”

He entered the palace early this morning and accompanied the emperor to carry out various sacrifices and worship activities, but he was only able to return home now.

And Yingluo's baby is different from the last time, she is very happy, what to eat and vomit, in the first three months, she was tossed and lost weight more than twice, and she suffered a tight crime, and now after the first three months, although it is gradually getting better, Qin Yan also has palpitations, although people are outside, they are always worried about what will happen to Yingluo at home.

I went out for a day today, and when I came back, I naturally had to ask my wife first.

Yingluo looked over and saw that his eyes were full of concern, but he didn't feel that his heart was warm, and he didn't say anything, but Brother Xi next to him replied first, and said: "The mother concubine is all right today, the little brother is obediently in the mother's belly, and he just greeted us, so my father doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Brother Xi replied, and Yingluo simply and lazily snuggled on the big pillow and looked at Qin Yan and became committed.

Qin Yan just came back from outside, and he was still wearing a pro-dynasty dress with purple and red embroidered gold thread and five blessings and dragon patterns, a stone green python belt around his waist, and a purple and gold crown on his head. Outside, he was wearing a black sable fur and standing there, with a straight back and broad shoulders, heroic and heroic, and his aura was so powerful that it was breathtaking.

Qin Yan is now in his prime, and time seems to have failed to leave any traces on his face, and his unparalleled face is still the same, but the unconscious evil aura on his face when he was young has been melted away by the polishing of the years, leaving only a mountain of calmness and calmness that is difficult to explore for half a minute. If you say that when you met, he was a knife with an open edge, a bloody edge, but now it is already a sword that has been sheathed, quietly sharp, but it is even more attractive for people to explore.

Qin Yan put down his younger sister, untied the big on his body and threw it aside.

On the side, he raised his eyes to meet Yingluo Yingyingying, no matter how he looked at it, he had some approving and obsessive eyes, and he didn't feel that his heart was fluttering, and he couldn't even hear the chatter of the late sister in his ears.

The corners of his lips hooked slightly, his eyes flashed, and he didn't hear what Sister Wan said again, so he said: "Okay, go out in half an hour, Sister Wan and Brother Xi will also go back and clean up, so that your mother can rest for a while." ”

The late sister obviously asked her father if she could go to Dingshengmen to watch the juggling today, but the father went out after half an hour, the late sister was not very satisfied, and wanted to ask again, but the sleeve was pulled by Brother Xi, and Brother Xi'er's voice sounded in her ears.

"The child is gone."

The younger sister glared at her younger brother, but saw Brother Xi glaring at her, the younger sister was already eccentric, and she was just playful and didn't notice it, this time the son looked at his father again, how could he not see that all his father's mind had been on his mother's body, his eyes purred, and he also slipped out with Brother Xi.

The two disappeared, Qin Yan was already sitting next to Yingluo, stretched out his hand to take Yingluo into his arms, his lips lightly hooked against her neck from top to bottom, and when he reached the neck socket, he took a deep breath, his nose was full of familiar warm fragrance, and he couldn't help but sigh comfortably.

He sighed and drilled straight to his chest, Yingluo chuckled and struggled slightly, but a layer of blush appeared on her cheeks, and she pushed Qin Yan and said, "You are not so righteous in front of the children, and you are not afraid of bringing them badly." ”

The two children were eccentric, and they were used to looking at people and things, so they both quit inexplicably, Yingluo always felt that they had seen something, and for no reason, she twisted Qin Yan's waist lightly in annoyance.

"Hmm......" Qin Yan snorted, leaned lazily on the couch, grabbed Yingluo's chaotic hand, wantonly kneaded her fingers that had become softer due to pregnancy, glanced at Yingluo with a smile, and said, "My younger brothers and sisters are going to give birth to them, is it too late to worry about whether to do the right thing or not?" ”

Saying that, he had already put his hand into Yingluo's placket, and from the hem to the flexible slippery, greedily stroked up, Yingluo was rubbed by his big palm for a while, and couldn't help but struggle, and said: "Don't make trouble, the children will come over soon, it's time to go out." Is the emperor in better health today? Wait for a while, do you want to go to Mingfeng Upstairs to have fun with the people? ”

Qin Yan also knew that the children would have to change their clothes and wait to go out in a moment, this was really not the time for husband and wife to be intimate, so he loosened his arm holding Yingluo, adjusted his breathing slightly, and moved his palm down to Yingluo's bulging abdomen, and said: "The emperor is slightly better today, this son should have already driven out of the palace." ”

During the exile of Emperor Qianfeng, in the end, the body hurt the foundation, this year, major and small illnesses continued, and it was not always good, especially after the winter this year, more and more sick body Shen Ke, lingering sick bed, An An as the prince, although still young, but Emperor Qianfeng was probably afraid that his dragon body could not hold on, and he had already let An An follow him to listen to the government, and this year also let the prince preside over a lot of sacrificial celebrations instead of him.

Today, if Emperor Qianfeng can't hold the dragon body, it is still the prince to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival with the people on the Mingfeng Tower, but the prince is young, and the border is a little unstable these days, if it is such an important occasion, Emperor Qianfeng will not appear, but let the prince replace, I am afraid that the border will be more unstable.

There have been repeated wars on the border, and Qin Yan will inevitably go on the march, so Yingluo heard that Emperor Qianfeng is in better health and is going to participate in the celebration today, so she unconsciously hooked the corners of her lips and said, "That's good......

"Father, mother, are you ready to go?!"

The two of them also said this, and the cheerful urging of the evening sister suddenly sounded outside, and Yingluo hurriedly pushed Qin Yan. When Qin Yan rubbed the corners of his forehead, he let go of Yingluo and sat up a little helplessly, the evening sister had already rushed in, and Yingluo didn't realize that her eyebrows were slightly raised.

I saw that the little girl was wearing a royal blue short jacket inlaid with fiery red fox fur trim on her head, a set of embroidered bat pattern Ruyi Tuanhua leg-closing silk pants, a pair of black suede embroidered tiger head deerskin boots on her feet, and a mink fur warm hat on her head, red and blue clothes were staggered, making the little girl with exquisite facial features more and more snow-white skin, pink carved jade, good-looking is good-looking tight, but it is clearly a child's dress.

And this dress Yingluo remembers, obviously when the embroidery girl of Chu Yige came to deliver the album before, Yingluo specially selected it from the album for Brother Xi'er, why did this child wear it on the body of the younger sister?

This is obviously the late sister who was naughty and snatched her brother's clothes, Yingluo still remembers that on the birthday of the Empress Dowager two years ago, the late sister bullied Brother Xi like this.

At that time, the two children were young, and they had not cleaned up the yard alone, and they were still living in the wing room of the Kyaukyue Courtyard.

And Brother Xi has been a saw-mouthed gourd since he was a child, but the two of them pretended to be all the way, and when they arrived in front of the queen mother in the palace, they were discovered. Brother Xi'er's little man was forced to pretend to be a little girl and pretend to be in the palace, his eyes were red with grievances, and he was hugged by the Queen Mother and kneaded and comforted.

At that time, the two were still young, and Brother Xi was not enlightened, but it was just enough to make everyone laugh, but now that Brother Xi has been enlightened and entered school, it is not good for the younger sister to bully her brother like this.

Seeing that the concubine's expression was wrong, she hurriedly ran over, pulled Qin Yan's arm, and said with a smile: "Father, my daughter specially asked Chu Yige to make a set of clothes that are exactly the same as my younger brother, father, take a look, the late sister and the younger brother don't seem to be alike!" ”

As she spoke, she put on a small face, deliberately pretending to be as unrestrained and smiling as Brother Xi, and looking like a little adult.

Qin Yan was modeled by his daughter's delicate model

Er's delicate appearance was amused, Yingluo couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, but she didn't want her sister to look at her, her eyes and expression were very aggrieved, and said: "People didn't snatch my brother's clothes, nor did they bully Brother Xi, but that stinky boy, suing her daughter all day long, the mother didn't believe her daughter, but she believed in Brother Xi, it was really eccentric!" ”

Yingluo was teased by the little appearance of the younger sister's delicate pouting and half-truths and half-truths complaining, and she laughed more and more, raised her hand and pointed at the little girl's forehead, and said: "You little grease mouth, the left and right concubines have already borne the charge of partiality, and when I go out today, I will only let Mama Wang take Brother Xi to Balipu to watch the lights and see the excitement, you are the girl's family, it is better to be quiet by the side of the mother." ”

When the evening sister heard this, she immediately couldn't care about pretending to be angry, and rushed to Yingluo's side like a flower with a busy smile, hugged her legs, and shouted good mother, mother's best.

Qin Yan stood aside, watching a mother and daughter snuggling up on the beauty couch and laughing, as if a large and a small dazzling flower illuminated the whole room, he couldn't help but pick his lips lightly.

At this time, the curtain was raised, but Brother Xi also arrived, and he was really wearing the same clothes as his younger sister, even his hat and little boots were the same.

Just because Sister Wan and Brother Xi are fraternal dragon and phoenix fetuses, in fact, the two of them don't look like they are imaginary, but now they are still young, and their facial features have not yet grown.

The longer the two of them looked, the more they looked different, but they were so interesting to look at today, their eyes turned back and forth on their children a few times, and then they helped Qin Yan's hand to get up, and the family went out with a smile.

The carriage of the palace did not go long before turning to the main street Sitong Street, and the hustle and bustle poured into the carriage from all directions, as if it had fallen into another prosperous world at once, and the younger sister who had been sitting around Yingluo was a little eager to stay, and frequently opened the curtains to look out, and even Brother Xi, who was as steady as a little adult on weekdays, was a little unstable.

Qin Yan and Yingluo are going to Shuntianmen to celebrate the festival with the people with the holy car, although the area around Shuntianmen is full of lantern sheds built by various noble mansions, the most is brilliantly lit and bright, but although the place where the nobles gather is full of flowers, there is no wild fun in the end, and then the late sister and Brother Xi go to Shuntianmen every year, and there is no freshness.

In previous years, they were young, and their father and mother did not allow them to wander around, but this year they easily got the opportunity to play freely.

As soon as her black obsidian eyes rolled and glanced at Yingluo, she snuggled up to Qin Yan's side, hugging her father's arm and making a coquettish appearance.

The little girl didn't say much, she just shouted her father one after another, and her watery eyes looked at Qin Yan pitifully and expectantly.

Where could Qin Yan stand his daughter's begging like this, he immediately threw away his armor, glared at his sister, coughed and looked at Yingluo, and said: "Shuntianmen has just been removed from filial piety this year, but I am afraid that the celebration arranged by the Ministry of Rites will be more cumbersome, and their children's families are also tired when they get there, where to stay, if you are naughty, it will tire you, you are now double, you can't stand the grinding of this little demon king, or let people take them to play early, right?" ”

Hearing this, Yingluo glared at Qin Yan, and really couldn't stand his unconditional spoiling of his daughter's behavior, but in the past few years, because he had to assist the new emperor and take care of An An, he didn't have time to take his sister and Brother Xi around the market on the Shangyuan Festival, and the children were detained in the Shuntianmen area every yearIt's just a matter of tasting the things outside, it's not always so clean, and the things you eat are too fine, and if you eat too much of the things outside, it hurts ......"

"I know, I know, how many times has the mother and concubine confessed, and the mother concubine is so verbose and careful that her father dislikes it. Brother Xi, hurry up, stop the car, stop the car! Before Yingluo finished speaking, the evening sister over there pulled Brother Xi up and got out of the carriage, and she couldn't wait to jump down, and the startled attendant exclaimed.

Yingluo was arranged by her younger sister in two sentences, and when she saw Qin Yan looking at her teasingly, she didn't feel a little hot on her face, and her annoyed willow eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "This kid! Look what you've spoiled her! ”

The curtain of the car hung down, and the cheering voice of the younger sister who caused trouble over there had already disappeared, Qin Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw Yingluo's annoyance, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "The little girl doesn't understand anything, don't you know that Jiaojiao is long-winded, and the master only has a rare share, how can she dislike it!" ”

The older the man gets, the more his voice becomes deeper and more magnetic, sexy and terrible, this time he doesn't want money to say sweet words, and kisses her neck and ears when he speaks, and his hands are not rubbed unruly, Yingluo's mind floats, where can I still take care of the anger of the little girl, and I thought in a trance.

Qin Yan, I even used a beautiful man for the sake of my daughter, you asked me to say what is good about you.

All kinds of grocery stalls, snack stalls and juggling stalls are overwhelming, watching the lively people, screaming and cheering one after another, crowds of people, rubbing shoulders one after another.

Sister Wan felt that this was the first time she had experienced the joy and liveliness of the Shangyuan Festival, she was full of excitement and restlessness, and obediently listened to the words of Mama Zhou, the housekeeper around her, and wandered among the crowd unhurriedly.

The people who accompanied him all the way were relieved when they saw that the little county lord was so obedient, and after playing like this for a while, they naturally relaxed their vigilance.

At this moment, Sister Wan suddenly rushed out excitedly, and the small figure shuttled back and forth in the crowd, and ran away in the blink of an eye. Regardless of whether the subordinates behind him followed or not, the guards behind him were very nervous, their eyes widened, and they shouted "Slow down, girl" while chasing after the crowd behind them.

Brother Xi was also very interested, seeing her sister like this

Seeing his sister like this, his heart was broken, and he hurriedly followed closely, his body was small and agile, shuttling through the crowd, and he became the tightest one to follow the evening sister.

The people who followed and waited behind watched the two little masters run farther and farther, and in the blink of an eye, they could only see the small figures looming in front of them, sweating profusely, and the crowd was helpless to rub shoulders one after another, and they would not be able to catch up quickly for a while.

Ahead, Sister Wan saw that the people behind her were getting farther and farther away, but she was excited, and she touched the silver she was carrying in her arms.

She has never gone out by herself when she is so old, she never cares what she does, she is followed by a large group of people, this is not allowed, that is not good, there are rules everywhere, it is so lively today, she must get rid of them and play around fiercely, what she wants, that is called the festival!

Sister Wan thought about it, seeing the dragon dance team coming in front of her, a burst of gongs and drums shouted to attract the crowd to rush forward, Sister Wan'er's eyes lit up, and she was about to rush forward, but her arm was grabbed, she looked back impatiently, and saw Brother Xi'er's black frowning, looking extremely disagreeable, and the small appearance was a little similar to her father when he was angry, and the evening sister was stunned, her face was a little weak, but she said: "There is a fire dragon dance in front, let's go over quickly, otherwise we won't be able to occupy a good position!" ”

She shook her hand and was about to squeeze into the crowd, but Brother Xi never let go, nor did she follow the younger sister inside, she just stood still, just pulled like that, and took a slight step under her feet, but the evening sister couldn't move a step.

Sister Wan saw that the maids chased after her again, and knew in her heart that if they all caught up this time, they should be on guard, and they would definitely guard her tightly, and it would be difficult to find a chance to get rid of them, her forehead was sweating, her voice was soft, and the pitiful Brother Chongxi said: "Sister knows that you have begun to learn to ride a horse with archery, but you can't use your skills on your sister, let it go!" ”

"What do you want to do?" Brother Xi didn't move at all, and even the expression on his face didn't change, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Sister Wan'er.

Seeing that her intentions were obviously discovered by Brother Xi, Sister Wan'er's angry face changed.

Brother Xi is a strange child, she doesn't have much of a child's temperament at all, she knows that Brother Xi will definitely not agree with her ghost idea, her eyes flashed and she stomped her feet, and said angrily after Brother Xi: "Green Cloud, why did you chase after you so quickly!" ”

She glared at Brother Xi viciously and said, "They are all here, what else can I do, don't let go!" ”

Brother Xi didn't look back, really thought that the people were chasing after him, his mind was relieved, and the strength of the younger sister in his hand naturally relaxed, who knew that the younger sister twitched hard, turned around and got into the crowd like a rabbit, and disappeared.

Brother Xi knew that he had been fooled, so he immediately frowned and bent down to get through the legs of the crowd in front of him, and followed the younger sister into the sea of people.

"Good! This dragon dance is so good! ”

At this time, there was a sound of amazement in all directions, but it was the fire dragon team who happened to come over and dance the long fire dragon into the night sky.

The palace guards who were about to catch up with the two little masters were suddenly blocked by the crowd, and in an instant, the two little masters disappeared in front of them.

Shuntian Gate, Mingfeng Tower in the night, the lights are brilliant, like the heavenly palace.

The armor of the Praetorian Guards stood on all sides, and the golden armor of the Praetorian Guards shimmered in the firelight.

Emperor Qianfeng led the ministers out of the Mingfeng Tower, all the way along the brightly lit avenue to Shuntianmen, along the way to admire the lantern shed built by the mansions of the various powers, and the women inside and outside also fell behind, hugging the empress dowager and laughing.

Wait all the way to the Shuntian Gate, Emperor Qianfeng led the climb to the high Shuntian City Tower, look, the other end of the city tower has been crowded with people, looking down, only to see the crowd of people, like a black wave, spread along the long street with swaying lights to the end of heaven and earth.

"This year, there are many more people watching the fireworks and lights than in previous years." The Empress Dowager looked down at the crowded crowd downstairs and said with a smile.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been diligent in government and loves the people, and the people are recuperating, and now I live and work in peace and contentment in the north and south of Dafeng, and the prosperous scene is the peaceful and prosperous era. This year, from east to west, from north to south, there are bumper harvests everywhere, and the people also have surplus money in their hands. Yingluo accompanied the Queen Mother, and took the lead in taking over the conversation when she heard the words.

She is also telling the truth, in the past two years, Dafeng has indeed shown a prosperous atmosphere, and the Queen Mother listened to it with joy and nodded again and again.

The queen accompanied the other side and nodded with a smile: "Come again, the people also know in their hearts, knowing that they can live such a good life now, it is all thanks to the emperor, the queen mother's blessing, and now of course I have to rush to the city gate to Mu Tianen, and I am blessed, this next year, I will live better!" ”

Although the emperor was exiled back then, the queen mother and Qin Yan secretly took care of her, but she also suffered a lot of hardships and plots, and now her health is not very good, but today's queen's complexion is excellent, the queen mother heard the words and looked at the queen's ruddy face reflected by the lights, and patted the queen's hand with a smile.

Emperor Qianfeng in front of him also looked back when he heard the movement here, and Empress Yu, who was mild-eyed, looked at each other for a moment, and then turned his gaze away.

In the end, there is a sense of tribulation, since Emperor Qianfeng returned to Beijing, there is only the queen by his side. When it was deposed, the concubines of the East Palace were scattered, to Emperor Qianfeng ascended the throne, and there was only one queen in the harem.

Seeing that the queen and Emperor Qianfeng were in public with their eyebrows and affection, Yingluo was happy for her sister, and she unconsciously smiled and went to pursue Qin Yan's figure.

He was standing behind the right side of Emperor Qianfeng at the moment, slightly lowering his head to listen to the words of the military department, as if he felt her gaze, he immediately turned his head to look over. Through the middle figure, the dark and deep eyes instantly caught her, and then it was like

, and then they stick together like a gravitational pull of their own, and it's hard to part with them.

No matter where you are, he can pay attention to you in the crowd for the first time and find your feeling, which makes De Yingluo's heart skip a beat, and then she smiles, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are flowing with satisfaction, making her already burning and dazzling face shine more and more.

Although she didn't know why Yingluo was smiling, but looking at her, Qin Yan's eyes were still a little deeper in an instant, and the expression on her face was soft, and even her lips couldn't help but smile.

The military department next to Shang Shu is reporting on the patrol situation around the capital during the Shangyuan Festival, because there are many more people in the Shangyuan Festival this year than in previous years, and even many people from small rich families far away from the capital have come to the capital with their families to open their eyes, which has made some confusion appear in some places.

There was an accident on Dingding Street, not far from SF Gate, a lantern shed was caught on fire by a crowded crowd, although the fire was extinguished in time, but it still caused some riots here.

At this moment, he looked up and saw Qin Yan smiling, his attitude was unusually gentle, and he suddenly made up his mind, and even his words became smoother.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, please ask the emperor to take a bow."

Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward with a curved bow wrapped in gold and yellow tassels in both hands, knelt in front of Emperor Qianfeng and asked for his life, and for a while he fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell.

Every year on the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor will celebrate with the people at Suncheonmon Gate, and when it is auspicious, the emperor bends his bow and shoots signal arrows from the tower of Suncheonmen Gate. On the Yuquan Mountain opposite the Shuntianmen, fireworks will be released, and the light can reflect the entire starry sky, and half of the capital will be seen.

At this moment, the people who came down to watch the fireworks probably felt that the time had come, and they couldn't help but let out bursts of shouting.

Emperor Qianfeng looked at the golden bow but did not move, only raised his hand and called, "Where is the prince?" ”

was about to watch the fireworks, An An had arrived at the Empress Dowager's side at the moment, and was about to help the Empress Dowager to sit down in the warm hall built on the city tower to take a closer look.

Emperor Qianfeng signaled and said, "The prince is here to take the bow and shoot on my behalf!" ”

At his words, the courtiers' faces changed slightly.

The emperor is the only seedling of the crown prince, and he is a serious heir, and there is no doubt that he will be the new emperor in the future, and there is no dispute for the heir at all. Although the prince is still young, he has begun to be regent in the past two years, and the emperor's imperial study has also taken the prince with him to personally give some teaching, and there are also many rituals that should have been completed by the emperor, and Emperor Qianfeng ordered the prince to act on his behalf.

However, it was all in the absence of Emperor Qianfeng, and now Emperor Qianfeng is standing here in a good manner, but he wants the prince to come to shoot him, which makes the courtiers have to think more.

It is said that Emperor Qianfeng's dragon body is getting worse and worse, is it true?

This is to prepare early, is it already paving the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne?

An An's expression did not change when she heard this, the Empress Dowager patted his hand with a smile, and said, "Go quickly, the imperial grandmother is not old enough to walk a few steps, just let your mother accompany the mourning family." ”

An An let go of the empress dowager's arm and gave a slight salute.

The queen helped the empress dowager to move to the observation deck, Yingluo was pregnant, her movements were slightly slow, but she was a little behind, and when she saw An An Wanglai, she stepped forward with a smile and straightened the cloak on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go quickly." ”

An An responded with a smile, turned around and strode away.

He is nine years old this year, although he is still a child, but his body has been pumped high, he has the thin and prosperous appearance of a young man, and he is wearing a dark gold and black sable fur coat cloak, and when he turns around, his clothes are windy, and he is curled, revealing the robe of the bright yellow embroidered gold dragon underneath, and his steps are steady, and his body has a faint majesty as a monarch.

Under the gaze of the hundred officials, he stepped forward and knelt down in his robe, first gave a big salute to Emperor Qianfeng, then got up and took the golden bow, and walked a few steps quickly to board the beacon tower surrounded by the Praetorian Guards.

Although his fingers moved slightly, a sharp sound rushed into the sky, straight into the clouds, and for a moment of silence, a golden flower burst out with a bang. There was silence all around, the golden flowers were scattered, and it seemed to ignite the oil pot, bang bang, the fireworks on Yuquan Mountain were all set off, and suddenly the whole thing fell into the brilliance.

The cheers came and went, and the fire trees and silver flowers never sleeped.

It's really a city move, thousands of empty alleys, this kind of liveliness is not seen in modern times, Rao is Yingluo has spent several spring and autumn here, there is still a kind of shocking feeling.

Over there, Qin Yan was standing beside Emperor Qianfeng, casually listening to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu pointing to the brilliant night sky to introduce several new fireworks to Emperor Qianfeng this year, when he saw a figure coming in a hurry with a little panic at the stairs of the city tower.

Qin Yan admitted at a glance that it was Feng Ling, one of the secret guards who was following the younger sister, he frowned unconsciously, glanced in the direction of Yingluo in the viewing platform, and saw that Yingluo was talking to the Empress Dowager about something, and did not pay attention to this side, so he quietly withdrew from the crowd and strode over.

Sure enough, Feng Ling greeted Qin Yan and wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Qin Yan with a look.

Qin Yan crossed Feng Ling and went down the city tower, only then did he look sideways, Feng Ling knelt on his knees, covered in cold sweat, "Lord Wang, the subordinates are incompetent, the little county lord and the little county king are lost." ”

Rao is Qin Yan has a calm heart, and he has been too little in shape over the years, and he can't help but change his complexion at this moment.

"What?! How could it be lost! You people are following, and you can't even look at the two children, what's the use of you! ”

Qin Yan hadn't yet responded, but a voice came from behind him, but it turned out that An An noticed the movement here, and actually followed, just hearing Feng Ling's words, his whole face was pale at this moment.

Every year during the Shangyuan Festival, there are children who are lost, and most of these children are good-looking, and they will be sold to some big families in the south as maids, or places like the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.

Although Kyo

Although Jingzhao Mansion also attaches great importance to this, and sends additional officers to inspect the various markets in the capital every year, it cannot be cut off in the end.

Who would have thought that this year, these traffickers would be bold enough to move to Tai Sui's head, and even the county lord of King Jing's Mansion dared to move.

An An said, and he didn't care about losing his temper again, so he immediately turned around and rushed to the city tower, saying, "I'll go to report to my father!" This will lead people to find their younger brothers and sisters! ”

Hearing this, Qin Yan grabbed An An's hand, and seeing that his face was full of panic and worry, he said unconsciously: "You are the prince!" Panic what! Don't alarm the Empress Dowager and the emperor, you stay well, your aunt is heavy, and she can't be frightened. ”

Emperor Qianfeng ascended the throne, and the political enemies in the court who dared to move the Jingwang Mansion no longer existed, and the child was lost, so it could not be the enemy's doing. If it was really done by human traffickers, Sister Er and Brother Xi would not be in danger of their lives for a while that night.

People can always find it, it's just a matter of time.

Qin Yan had already calmed down at this time, patted An An's shoulder, and said, "You go up, Mo has revealed his whereabouts, Brother Xi and Junior Sister, Uncle will naturally find it back!" If you move to the head of King Jing's mansion, you will have to bear the consequences! Qin Yan's expression became cold as he spoke.

This Qin Yan decisively ordered the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Patrol Battalion, the Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department to move, strictly investigate the Nine Gates, and search all over the city. As soon as the secret guard found that the child was missing, he came to report it, and the time was urgent, Qin Yan expected that Sister Wan and Brother Xi would definitely not have time to leave the city, so the main scope of the search was still in the city and on the nine gates, and only ordered the private soldiers of the palace to divide into eight teams to pursue in eight directions outside the capital.

I thought that if the traffickers who jumped off the beam, if Sister Wai and Brother Xi really fell into their hands, they would be able to find people back in less than an hour, who would have thought that there was still no trace for more than an hour, and Emperor Qianfeng's side had already dispersed, and Qin Yan didn't feel a little impetuous.

But Yingluo was heavy, but he never dared to tell her the news of the accident with the two children.

Therefore, when the time came, he accompanied Yingluo back to the Jingwang Mansion as if nothing happened, and when she arrived at the Jiaoyue Courtyard, Yingluo naturally had to ask about the two children, but the nurse and the others had already been instructed by Qin Yan, and only accompanied the smile to reply, saying that the little county lord and the little county king were playing too crazy outside today, and they were really tired, and they had already fallen asleep in the carriage back to the house.

Yingluo wanted to go to see it in person, but was persuaded by Qin Yan to say that the people took care of it carefully and would not be negligent. Yingluo was also tired from tossing today, and was coaxed by Qin Yan to rest.

When she fell asleep, Qin Yan hurriedly dressed and left the house and took people out of the palace.

Qin Yan didn't know that the two children who couldn't be found at the moment had really left the capital.

Majia Village, not far from the capital, but there is no fire tree and silver flower in the capital, lively and noisy, although it is the Shangyuan Festival, but most of the households here have turned off the lights early, only then two or three households still reveal a few points of red light.

Although today is the Shangyuan Festival, it is now close to midnight, and the excitement should have dispersed.

At this moment, the family located in the west of the village is connected with several lights, which is a little special.

In the courtyard, two big dogs were lying in the corner of the courtyard gnawing bones, and the door of the main house was closed, faintly revealing the red light of the brazier, and there was the sound of talking and the aroma of wine and meat.

"Big brother, the children I got this time are all good, I want to ship them to the south and sell them for a good price!"

The person who spoke was Ma Laosan, the owner of this small courtyard, who had died since he was a child, and lived with his uncle. After he became a big man, he became a well-known scoundrel in the nearby village, only he was born with five big and three rough, and he was quite powerful, but people did not dare to provoke him.

A few years ago, the third horse and the clan uncle fell out, so he went out alone, heard that he joined a dart game, and he actually mixed up some fame, earned some money, and brought back a bewitching daughter-in-law, and built a green tile yard in the west of the village.

The man who was replaced by him as the eldest brother was surnamed Guo, known as Guo Boss, he looked at his forty or so much, but he was extremely short and ordinary, only a pair of eyes revealed a fierce spirit, he laughed when he heard this, poured a sip of wine and said: "Don't worry, when the time comes, it will be sold at a good price, according to the old rules, the brothers will share it equally, and the eldest brother will not treat you badly." ”

"Look at what the eldest brother said, it seems that my brother said this because I didn't believe the eldest brother, but my brother didn't mean it, the eldest brother came to drink, drink! Brothers, all drink! ”

Ma Laosan said, and filled Boss Guo's sea bowl with wine, and Liu Shunzi, Feng Laoqi and several others were greeted by him, and they all touched the bowl and drank wine, and the atmosphere was very warm.

How lively the capital is, they steal children from the capital every year, take a break in Ma Laosan, and then take the waterway to sell the children directly to the south, because the stolen children are so good-looking, so a trip down can also have a lot of silver.

This time, taking advantage of the Shangyuan Festival, more than 20 children were brought in one go, all of whom were stunned and loaded and transported out of the capital on the grounds of charging tickets.

The children I got this time are quite good, especially one of the twin brothers, although they are still young, but their appearance is stunning in the world at a glance.

If this kind of goods is sold in small official mansions in the south, it will be a sky-high price.

You know, this boy is much more expensive than a girl, and ordinary people's male babies are also in prison, all of them are golden bumps, there are many women who sell women, but there are few children who sell children, and this good-looking male baby has few goods, and then when you encounter this kind of beauty, it is still twins, the price is ......

It's heartwarming just to think about!

"Boss, today's pair of male babies can be sold for two thousand taels of silver, right? Brother begging for daughter-in-law has a shadow this time! Liu Shunzi couldn't help but come to the side of Boss Guo and said in a sly manner.

"If your kid didn't worry about the purple begonia in Yuchun Building, he would have married a daughter-in-law a long time ago

Son, what kiln sister to ransom, how many innocent girls have married back, and their appearance may not be worse than that begonia. This daughter-in-law still has to be a girl from a white family to live! Boss Guo didn't reply to Liu Shunzi's words, but persuaded him seriously.

"What the boss said is that the sister in the kiln is just playing, how can you move the real character, Shunzi, you are really stunned!"

The room was lively, but a tall and thin middle-aged man came in with a curtain, his eyebrows and eyes were very shrewd, and it was the Zhiduoxing among several people who called Cheng Xiucai.

In his early years, he was really a showman, but unfortunately his character was not good, because he hooked up with a married man, he was caught and raped in bed, and he was sued to the government, and his reputation was removed, and later he became one of Guo Boss and others, and started trafficking in human beings.

He took a few steps to Boss Guo's side, and when Boss Guo saw his serious expression, his eyebrows frowned, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and put down the wine bowl.

"Boss, come out and down."

Cheng Xiucai whispered and said hello to Ma Laosan and turned around and walked out of the house, Guo Laoda got up and followed.

When he arrived outside the house, Cheng Xiucai took out two jade pendants from his sleeve and carefully presented them to Boss Guo, without saying much.

Boss Guo took the jade pendant, took a closer look at the moonlight, and unconsciously gasped, his expression became solemn, and he rubbed the jade pendant and said: "These two pieces of jade are high-grade jade, this crystal white, delicate and moisturizing, white as clotted fat, this carving is even more beautiful, vivid, such a jade pendant is not to mention a few thousand taels of silver, right?" ”

Boss Guo and others actually didn't have the opportunity to contact the best jade, but they still had a little eyesight, even if they didn't understand, they could see that such a jade in their hands was extraordinary, and they couldn't help but sweat in their palms, and their expressions became more and more solemn.

They do this with their heads on their belts, and they may move at some point, so they have to be cautious and cautious.

The children of this powerful family, they don't dare to kill them, but the children of ordinary people are either yellow and thin-skinned, or have a rough appearance, and they can't sell them for a few dollars, so they mostly target the children of the small rich family and the merchant family on weekdays.

But this jade pendant is by no means something that ordinary children's children can use.

Isn't this messing with someone who shouldn't be messed with?

Boss Guo thought about it, unconsciously clenched the jade pendant, and said, "Is it from the twins?" ”

The children who got it this time are a little extraordinary, not to mention that they look like that, just look at them from a distance, and the dress, bearing, and dress of the two children are not ordinary.

It's just that the two children are too eye-catching, such goods are too rare, at that time, there was no one around the two children, he hesitated and hesitated, and he was reluctant to let go of such a fat sheep, so he gritted his teeth and decided to get the two children back.

Now touching the jade pendant in his hand, Boss Guo regretted it a little.

"It's them, big brother Xu doesn't know, this is the best mutton fat jade! When I passed the township test, the prefect of Luzhou had a banquet at home to entertain me, and I was fortunate to see a sheep fat jade wrench enshrined at home in the prefect's mansion, the jade wrench was given to the prefect of Jiang by the king of Chengjun, and the color was vaguely not as good. Boss, we're afraid we're just going to venture this time! ”

Cheng Xiucai said, his voice trembling slightly.

"Sheep fat jade?! How is this possible! Boss Guo's voice also trembled. Even if he doesn't have much knowledge, but the most basic common sense is known, Dafeng has a law that stipulates that mutton fat jade is not worn by ordinary people except for princes and dukes!

Could these two children be the children of the princely family?

If that's the case, they're really half-footed on Huangquan Road!

Boss Guo thought about it, and almost broke the jade pendant slippery hand in his hand, and after stabilizing his heart, he said, "Did the two babies wake up?" Have you asked? What do they say? If this is true...... That's a hornet's nest! No, no! Absolutely not, if it is really a child of the princely and princely family, it makes no sense that the two golden and noble young masters don't even have a subordinate by their side! No, it won't! ”

Boss Guo shook his head, and Cheng Xiucai said: "The child hasn't woken up yet, but if it's true, then ...... We need to prepare early! ”

Boss Guo was shocked when he heard this, his expression changed, his eyes became fierce, and he said: "Old Seven, you are right, if these two babies are really big old men, then we can only do nothing!" ”

He raised his hand and made a downward gesture, the meaning was already obvious, if the two children really had a big old man, they would have to be killed now, and the corpses should be disposed of quickly, only in this way would it be more secretive and easier to save their lives.

You must know that if these two children are alive, it is not easy to hide two living people, and only when they are dead, can they be clean and leave no traces.

Cheng Xiucai obviously planned to do the same, and when he heard this, he looked certain and said, "What the eldest brother thinks is that silver money is not as important as the lives of the brothers. ”

Boss Guo didn't panic as much as he did when he had an idea, and said, "Let's go, wake up those two babies now and ask about it." ”

The two of them said goodbye, and walked to the side room one after the other.
