Chapter 170: Shangyuan Tour

"Uncle Deng, in Heng'er's heart, Uncle Deng is the real relative!" Xiao Moheng lowered his eyes and said hoarsely. There was sadness in the tone, and there was endless longing.

Deng Rui couldn't cry anymore, he just nodded tremblingly, he fully understood the meaning of Xiao Moheng's words, Emperor Xiao was just a king and not a father to him.

He slowly wiped away his tears, put the tea in his hand for a long time, into his mouth, he sniffed it gently, felt the smell was refreshing, and instantly his mind was a lot clearer, he immediately took another sip, the entrance was sour and sour, light and thick,

He closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time before sighing: "I thought I would never be able to drink 'Lan Cry Dew' again in this life..."

Xiao Moheng just looked at him quietly, his elegant and elegant face was a little melancholy, and there was a faint wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

After a long time, the two have been silent to each other, after Deng Rui drank the cup of tea, he let out a long sigh, and finally got up and arched his hand: "It's getting late, I'll go back first, Your Highness should go home early!" ”

When Xiao Moheng saw him get up, he also stood up, and arched his hand: "Uncle Deng, go slowly!" ”

Deng Rui raised his head and smiled quietly, he took one last look at Xiao Moheng and turned to leave.

Xiao Moheng sent him out with a smile on his face, and it wasn't until he got into the carriage in the distance that he took his eyes back, and his face gradually became cold. Although Xiao Moheng trusted Deng Rui, he had to use Deng Rui's feelings for him and his mother to tie his heart firmly, so that he could firmly believe in supporting him to enjoy the world. And this is the most incisive imperial technique. Xiao Moheng has already used it with ease. Of course, although he did something deliberate just now, every sentence was indeed his heartfelt words.

A few days after the first day of the new year, the capital is still very lively, the people go to visit relatives and friends, listen to music and enjoy music, very happy, since Hua Ying joined Mufu, Xiao Mocheng and Jiang Mei let Wan Qing take over Zhengle Tai in the open and in the dark, just like that. A few days before the Shangyuan Festival. Wan Qing are in the Zheng music platform to play the piano strings, Wan Qing because of the long residence in Xiakou, the people of the capital can rarely see the beauty, listen to the good news.

And because of that. The people heard that Wan Qing was sitting on the Zhengle Stage. flocked to Zhengle Stage. Zhengle Terrace was overcrowded for several days, and the water was impassable. Yun Qing is calm and moderate, and can cope with it freely. Three songs are presented together every day, and the people of the capital feel that they are feasting their ears.

On the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Mocheng and Jiang Mei sat together in the Zhengle Terrace.

"Miss Wanqing is really worthy of being one of the two sisters of Dahuan, but the roads in the capital have been blocked because of you these days, and the alleys are empty!" Jiang Mei leaned on the table and looked at Wan Qingdao who was kneeling beside her with a leisurely expression.

"It's a little bit of a false name, and the people are just looking at the excitement!" Wan Qing is still as gentle as ever, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, her phoenix eyes are flowing, her eyes are rippling, the green silk on her cheeks caresses the delicate ground, the most is the gentleness of the head of her head, and the elegant and elegant charm makes Jiang Mei lose her mind. It's a pity that the wisps of affection in Wan Qing's eyes were given to Xiao Mocheng, who was smiling lightly.

"Miss Wanqing adapts very quickly, I was worried at first that the girl would not adapt to the noise of the capital, but I didn't expect the girl to be at ease!" Xiao Mocheng said with a smile while sipping hot wine.

"Thanks to His Highness's teaching, Wan Qing will not make mistakes!" Wan Qing Yingying smiled.

"Your Highness also hopes to hear the girl's wonderful piano sound all day long!"

"His Royal Highness's attainments are not under the Qing Qing, so do you have to ask for more advice?"

"Haha....Wanqing is too modest, I'm just in the middle period, and the girl is Boya!"

"It is said that good news is hard to look forward to, bosom friends are hard to find, and it is a lifelong blessing for Wanqing to have a confidant like His Royal Highness."

Wan Qing finally raised her wine glass, gave Xiao Mocheng a gentle salute, and then hid her face and drank it all.

"The girl is polite..."Xiao Mocheng immediately accompanied a cup, and the two continued to talk, forgetting that there was a Jiang Mei who was stunned for a long time on the side.

Jiang Mei saw that the two of them were in love, and instantly felt that she was redundant, she simply turned around, looked outside, and drank a few glasses of stuffy wine.

Xiao Mocheng didn't notice her emotions, but the more unhappy she was, the happier he was, she drank with her, and she was smiling at Wan Qing on her face, but in fact, the afterglow did not leave Jiang Mei, but she laughed faintly in her heart.

It's just that the more he saw Jiang Mei drinking alone, the more he wanted to lean over and hug her, the stronger that impulse, the firmer his eyes became, he stared at the wine glass in his hand slightly, and estimated in his heart that as soon as the Shangyuan Festival passed, he would ask someone to go to Jiangfu to propose marriage.

It's a pity that the higher the expectations, the heavier the loss, and the more you want to get something, the more you can't get it. When Xiao Mocheng recalled the current events many years later, he repeatedly regretted the impulse at that time, if he was not in a hurry to marry her, maybe they could enjoy a period of time so comfortably, in fact, what he didn't know was that the story was doomed to end before it began.

That night, Jiang Mei also got a letter from the secret agent of Mufu, but the Yunyan prince had a mole behind his ear, and Pei Fengwan also told her that Pei Yun had indeed put a bag with the word 'cloud' in the child's swaddling clothes. In this way, there is no doubt that Yun Yan should be the child of her brother Yun Jingzhou.

Jiang Mei planned to let Pei Feng see Na Yunyan at night on the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The annual Shangyuan Festival is the grandest festival in Beijing, and the children of the families in the capital will bring their brothers and sisters to the streets to enjoy the lanterns. So just like that, everyone is preparing for the Shangyuan Festival.

To say that the favorite festival of the year must be the Shangyuan Festival, because on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, all men and women will go to the street to enjoy the lanterns and scenery. And this festival is a good time for many young men and women to find their perfect match. At this time of year, the imperial court sets up lanterns on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Near the Vermilion Bird Hang in the south of the palace gate, the stage has been surrounded by water, and the voices of the people are boiling. Qinhuai River line all kinds of incense lanterns are lit up, the light candle world, the people who enjoy the lanterns and play come one after another, the people are overcrowded for a while, the incense cars on both banks, and the boats in the river are like swimming dragons, it is extremely luxurious. However, only the wealthy can enjoy the cruise.

"Brother, this ship is going so slowly. When will I be able to get to Zhengle Terrace? A young girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, squatting on the side of the boat and looking at the lanterns on both sides of the river, asked blankly.

"You said you wanted the boat to go slower so you could watch the lanterns, and now you're clamoring to listen to the music!" Xie Tinglin crossed his waist, glanced at his sister-in-law, and said helplessly.

"Hey... I said Tingzhi girl, didn't we say that we should go to Suzaku Airlines to watch the drama and dance first, and then go to Zhengle Terrace to listen to music? Pei Hui lifted the curtain and said. Although the Pei family also has its own cruise ship, Pei Zhan left. Pei Hui is not interesting by himself. followed Xie Tinglin on his family's boat and went out to play, of course, more importantly, here he could see the Tingzhi sister he longed for.

Thank you Tingzhi for hearing Pei Hui ask her, thinking that she had already made a marriage to him. Immediately blushed. She stood up. With his head down, he crossed Pei Hui and approached the cabin. The Pei family had already asked people to go to Xie Mansion to propose marriage on the tenth day of the first month, so thank you Tingzhi was always ashamed to see Pei Hui, so he had to avoid him.

The shyness on her face is even more cute and handsome in Pei Hui's eyes. Xie Tingzhi is Xie Hui's youngest daughter. is also his only daughter, now sixteen years old, Xie Hui has always held her in the palm of her hand, so she is also a lawless lord at home, but a few years ago she was sent to Huiji, and grew up with the children of the Xie family.

Xie Kuang has been working outside the country all the year round, and the children of the family have been living in his hometown, so Xie Hui also handed over Xie Tingzhi to his younger brother Xie Yun. Xie Yun had a very close relationship with his wife, but unfortunately his wife died early, leaving only one daughter Xie Yuanxiu, who married Xiao Moheng, because he was afraid that he would be lonely and sad, so Xie Kuang and Xie Hui sent their children to Huiji and were taught by him.

Although Xie Yun can be literate and martial, but he is a generous elder at home, the children of the Xie family under his care, although they have also learned a body of knowledge and skills, but because of their perennial travel in the mountains and forests, they are all lively, cheerful and refreshing.

After Xie Tingzhi stepped into the cabin, he snuggled up next to her cousin Xie Linglan, Xie Linglan was one year older after all, and because he was about to marry the Su family, his temperament was a little more restrained, and he did not watch and play outside the boat with Xie Tingzhi, but sat next to Xiao Yuxuan, the fifth princess who left the house today.

Xiao Yuxuan was also a very lively princess before she got married, and she must go out of the palace to play during the Shangyuan Festival every year on the fifteenth day, and she and Xie Tingdong met at the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival two years ago, compared with the lively and arrogant five princesses, Xie Tingdong is a cold and arrogant man, but he can't stand Xiao Yuxuan's left and right, and finally the two became a couple after a period of running-in and noise. It is also a good story in the capital.

Now, although Xiao Yuxuan is the mother of a son, she has not broken her habit of enjoying lanterns and playing. So today, I specially handed over the child to my grandmother, and I took Xie Tingdong out to play together.

Xiao Yuxuan glanced at Xie Tingzhi and said with a smile: "Girl Zhi, Pei Gongzi asked you whether you went to the theater or listened to the music?" You talk the most on weekdays, why don't you answer him today? After Xiao Yuxuan finished speaking, she clutched her chest and laughed.

Everyone in the boat knew that Xiao Yuxuan was deliberately teasing her, so they all laughed. Xie Tingzhi's face turned even redder with shame when he saw this, so he straightened up, puffed out his cheeks and said, "Wait until I go back and tell my father that you are all bullying others!" After that, he ran out again, but before he went out, he bumped into someone who came.

Su Tan, who was opening the curtain and stepping into the cabin, saw that he had bumped into someone, so he immediately looked down, and when he saw that it was Xie Tingzhi, he immediately apologized and said, "Ouch....Sister Tingzhi, are you okay?" It didn't hurt you, did it? ”

When Xie Tingzhi was thinking about why he was so unlucky, he saw that Su Tan was not good at attacking, so he obediently stepped aside.

When everyone saw Su Tan come in, they saluted again, but there was another person in the cabin who didn't dare to raise his head with a red face.

At this time, Xie Tingzhi found a companion, so he sat down with Xie Linglan again.

Su Tan glanced at Xie Linglan slightly, and saw that she was also looking at herself, after Xie Linglan touched Su Tan's gaze, he immediately lowered his head with a red face. The eyebrows are quite similar to Lan Ying, and such a shy and cute is also the reason why Su Tan liked her at the first sight. He saw that Xie Linglan had changed from his previous generosity and cheerfulness, and thought that it should be because he was taking care of himself.

Su Tan then smiled at the fifth princess and Xie Tingdong above: "I didn't expect the princess and the concubine to come out to play today, I knew that my brother and sister-in-law would come over here to play!" ”

Su Tan is talking about his cousin Su Baiqiu and sister-in-law Xiao Yujin, the seventh princess. Su Tan came here precisely because he knew that Pei Hui was also here, and because he was also worried about Xie Linglan, he took a small boat and came here.

Xiao Yuxuan sneered, and did not reply to him, but Xie Tingdong, who looked indifferent, replied: "I haven't seen Su Yuma for a long time, it's really a pity, he will visit Su Mansion again when he is free." His voice was soothing, and he looked at Xiao Yuxuan gently,

Others don't know why Xiao Yuxuan is unhappy, but he, as a husband, knows Xiao Yuxuan's thoughts, Xiao Yuxuan disagreed with the seventh princess when she was in the palace, and the seventh princess bullied her because she was the queen's concubine. Xie Tingdong saw that she was a little sullen, so he gently stretched out his hand and held her hand.

Su Tan noticed Xiao Yuxuan's indifferent look no matter how stupid he was, and wondered if he had said the wrong thing, but Su Tan has always been smart, and he guessed the reason, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "Sister Tingzhi, let's go to Suzaku Hang to watch the opera and dance first, I heard that His Majesty read that it is Shuyi Niangniang's birthday soon, so he let the stage tonight stay all night, and now the children of the official family have taken up a good position, if we go late, there will be no good position?" ”

After that, he glanced at Xiao Yuxuan without a trace, and saw that her face softened a lot, and she began to laugh again. The Shuyi Niangniang that Su Tan said was really Xiao Yuxuan's mother Tao Shuyi. Seeing that his father is so thoughtful, he is also very happy. So he said, "Then let's go to the theater and dance!" ”

Xie Tinglin saw that his sister-in-law had a look, and immediately returned: "Okay, sister-in-law, the boat is going over there!" ”

Xie Linglan was free to go anywhere, so it didn't matter, she had already been to Zhengle Terrace twice a few days ago, so she was not in a hurry to listen to music. But only Xie Tingzhi, who had never heard the music of Wan Qing, was a little sullen, but the princess opened her mouth, and she couldn't help it.

The Xie family and Suzaku were only two miles away, so the ship quickly arrived near Suzaku Hang. At this time, Xie Tinglin and Su Tan found that the vicinity of Suzaku Hang was already full of ships.

And in front of them was a large, brightly lit ship, decorated with a variety of lanterns all around, and it was magnificent and luxurious.

Just as Xie Tinglin was still thinking about whose boat this was, Su Tan had already shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Highness the Ninth is not in a hurry to Zhengle Terrace, what is the excitement here?" The tone was full of helplessness for his cousin.

When Xie Tinglin heard this, he immediately knew who the owner of the ship was, so he instructed the boatman to get closer, and now that the Nine Emperors were on the boat, he had to go and say hello.

He himself went in to make a report, and when the boat approached, he asked the boatman to put on a plank, and himself, Su Tan, and Pei Hui walked over first. (To be continued......)
