In the summer, a few days later is the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival in Dachang is very lively, the people race boats on the moat during the day, and at night the lanterns are full of flowers, colorful.

"You have visited the night market of the Dragon Boat Festival many times, and there is nothing new every year, how can you still be as happy as a child."

Lian Qingliu followed Qingcheng's side and chuckled, the street lights were dim, and her side face was particularly charming.

"There is only one Dragon Boat Festival a year, and the eldest brother should accompany the younger brother to relieve my fatigue, and I will suffocate to death every day when I stay in the house."

Lian Qingcheng took his arm as if flattering, and his eyes were shining.

Shui Lingyu stood aside and saw this scene, pursed her lips suddenly, and a gloomy color flashed in her eyes.

Someone set off fireworks in the night sky, quietly bloomed and flashed away, even Qingcheng stared at it for a long time, saw that the people by the river had packed up their things and came back, knowing that the fireworks had been released, he pulled Lian Qingliu's sleeve and walked forward without interest.

"Miss is so good, she won again!"

There was an exclamation in her ears, and she looked up to see two young women standing in front of a stall selling lanterns, one master and one servant, one still and one moving.

"Fun Link?"

She looked at the cloth on the lamp and muttered softly, and smiled at Lian Qingliu: "Big brother, let's go and have a look." ”

Three more people gathered in front of the small stall, and immediately surrounded the vendors selling lanterns.

"The three sons are interested in couplets, whoever wins will give the lantern to whom, this young lady has already won two."

The little brother who sold the lanterns saw that the business was coming, and the smile on his face deepened.

Lian Qingcheng looked at the woman beside her, she was dignified and dignified, her face was pleasant, and she was very gentle in a plain brocade dress, like a deep valley orchid.

At that time, she was holding a piece of red paper, and the paper was written up and down, only one horizontal batch was missing, she stared at the lines of words seriously, sometimes frowned, sometimes stroked her forehead, paused, and helplessly put down the paper and smiled at the vendor: "This, I really can't solve it." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Miss can answer two, which is enough to prove her literary brilliance."

Lian Qingcheng picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, then turned to frown and handed it to Lian Qingliu.

"Big brother, help me answer."

"What if I can't answer it?"

"No matter what, you have to solve it."

She shook the hem of his clothes and coquettishly, without the appearance of a rich young master, the maid behind the young lady laughed "poof" when she saw this, and when she saw her master glancing at herself, she hurriedly covered her mouth and couldn't stop snickering.

Ruan Fangyao lowered her head slightly and peeked at Lian Qingliu, the book has a son who is as gentle as jade, and he is talking about people like him.

Suddenly felt a strange look, she looked up and looked over, the coquettish young man who was just looking at the paper looked at her meaninglessly, with a little smile hidden in his eyes, as if he could see her thoughts, with a little understanding on his face, Ruan Fangyao blushed, and turned her head shyly.

Lian Qingliu shook his head helplessly with a smile, picked up the paper and looked at it seriously.

Uplink: 2, 3, 4, 5.

Downlink: six, seven, eight, nine.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, put down the paper and wrote on it: North and South.

When the peddler saw it, he smiled and said, "Childe is amazing!" , the upper link lacks 'one', and the lower link lacks 'ten', this 'food and clothing' is counted as 'thing', and what is lacking is the 'north and south' on the horizontal batch. ”

When Lian Qingcheng heard this, he knew that the eldest brother had won, his eyes narrowed, and he grinned: "Then don't you take out our lanterns quickly." ”

The peddler nodded and said yes, propped up the bamboo pole and took down a lantern at the highest point, different from other ordinary ones, this lantern is glued to white paper throughout, and there is a paper orchid in the wick, which is very beautiful on the paper.

Lian Qingcheng took the lamp and looked at it carefully for a moment, then handed it to Lian Qingliu.

"You don't want it?"

"It's good to give lanterns to beauties, but my son doesn't like this kind of elegant thing."

She nunu mouthed, blinked at the young lady next to her, and her eyes signaled Lian Qingliu.

Ruan Fangyao looked at her in surprise, and pointed at herself with her jade finger and said, "Me? ”

"Is there a more beautiful beauty here?"

Lian Qingcheng asked rhetorically, seeing that the eldest brother was still standing there motionless, his hand reached behind his back and pushed it secretly.

Lian Qingliu staggered two steps unexpectedly, and as soon as he stabilized his body, he had already arrived in front of Ruan Fangyao.

"Fu Mian is shocked, what my third brother said is not wrong, this lantern should have belonged to Miss."

He held the elbow of the lamp in one hand, and spoke warmly, but there was no expression in his eyes.

Ruan Fangyao slowly took the lantern, and Shi Lijiao said, "Thank you, Son." ”

Lian Qingliu nodded, took two steps back quietly, looked at Lian Qingcheng and said, "It's not early, go home, dad should be worried." ”

Lian Qingcheng was playful and felt that he was not happy, but he saw that the eldest brother had a faint and not very good face, thinking that he was blaming himself for being good at advocating giving away the lanterns, and he thought that he was at a loss, so he stuck out his tongue and had to obediently follow him back, and suddenly remembered the young lady who was holding the lamp in his hand, turned his height and shouted: "Little beauty, we are destined to meet again!" ”

"Will it?"

Ruan Fangyao stared at the figure walking in front and muttered, if it weren't for a blink of an eye, he happened to be standing beside him, and the prosperity of this night was just a beautiful scenery that would be forgotten later.

"Why did Childe ask Shizi to give the lantern to that young lady, Qulian obviously replied by Shizi."

On the way back, Shui Lingyu glared at Lian Qingcheng dissatisfied.

"Because that lamp is beautiful, and that young lady is also beautiful."

Lian Qingcheng replied frankly.

Shui Lingyu endured the resentment in her heart and asked softly, "What about Xiaoyu?" ”

"You're good-looking, too."

Even Qingcheng didn't notice her abnormality, but she listened to herself praise others for feeling uncomfortable, and comforted her with a smile on her eyebrows.

Shui Lingyu pursed her lips but didn't speak, Lian Qingliu walked faster and faster in front, she bit her lip and looked at him, and then looked at Lian Qingcheng, who had already run away, and tears slowly fell.

So, after all, she is still, unworthy?

The next day after the Dragon Boat Festival is the night banquet in the palace, the ministers of the court and the central government and their families are all going to participate, thinking of someone who has disappeared since the return of Heifeng Mountain, even Qingcheng gritted her teeth with hatred, but when she thought of seeing it again tonight, she looked at the sky with her head, wishing that it would be dark now.

The carriages of the ministers approached the palace gate one by one, Ruan Fanghua sat on the cushion and closed her eyes to recuperate, the speed of the carriage became slower and slower, she paused before opening her eyes, looked at the person on the other side and said: "Girl, I promised you to take you into the palace today, and now I have done it, I hope you don't forget to promise my conditions." ”

"This is the Imperial Palace?"

Ruan Fanghua saw her talking about him left and right, and snorted coldly: "You haven't been to the palace and don't understand the rules in this palace, don't run around and bump into people who shouldn't be offended when you go in later, don't blame Miss Ben for not saving her when she dies." ”

"No, it's too late for the little girl to thank you, how dare you make trouble for Miss Ruan."

The car stopped, Ruan Fanghua took the lead in getting out of the car, and followed behind his father with a well-behaved and lovely face.

Even Chu Cheng came a little later as always, but Feng Wushi seemed to be in a good mood today, but he didn't punish him for drinking, and the palace people placed the father and son to sit down, and the banquet began.

Lian Qingcheng looked around, Feng Guixie sat diagonally opposite her and poured wine for herself, as if knowing that she was looking at him, she raised her hand with a glass of wine, and drank it to herself.

She smiled, picked up the wine on the table and was about to drink it, when she looked up and saw Feng Wushi on the high platform, her eyes narrowed, and she forgot the wine in her hand.

The maid behind the emperor, how can she look so familiar?

She stared at those eyebrows seriously, where did she intuitively see it, but she couldn't remember anything, the cold light in her eyes was hidden, staring straight at Feng Wushi, like hatred!

She was startled by her own thoughts, shook her head and looked again, the cold mang disappeared suddenly, and the maid stood quietly behind Feng Wushi with a jade plate and waited for orders, but her expression was not as respectful as the other maids.

What a strange person.

She secretly took a look at herself and slowly drank the sake in her glass.

"I am deeply gratified that I share my worries, come, I have a drink with all the Qings, and help me prosper and peace!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The ministers raised their glasses and shouted to drink with the emperor, and even Qingcheng saw that the maid was holding a wine jug and slowly pouring wine into Feng Wushi's cup, his eyebrows twisted, and he was about to get up after putting the cup in spout.

"Lian Gongzi!"

Before she could stand up, a clear voice stopped her movements, and even her clear eyes saw that the person who called her was actually Ruan Fanghua.

"The little girl was stupid and offended Lian Gongzi before, and today she borrowed the palace banquet, and the little girl gave Gongzi a cup, and hoped that they could release their previous suspicions and live in harmony."

Oh, the ice release suspicion? There are many grievances between them, how can it be calculated because of this glass of wine, Ruan Fanghua is really smart, in front of the emperor and the ministers, it seems that she is at fault first, but in fact it depends on her own reaction, if she doesn't drink, it seems that she is the third prince with a small belly, if she drinks, the emperor and the ministers testify today, and there will be another disaster in the future, wouldn't the wrong people be all her even clear.

She looked at Ruan Fanghua coldly, and smiled warmly: "What did Miss Ruan say, have there been any grievances between us?" ”

Ruan Fanghua was stunned for a moment, clenched the cup in his hand, shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "What Gongzi Lian said is true." ”

was changed by Lian Qingcheng in a sentence or two, but it seemed that she had made a fool of nothing in front of the emperor, Ruan Fanghua was very unhappy, glared at her hatefully, and a pair of beautiful eyes poked her into a hornet's nest like a cold arrow.

Even Qingcheng took a sip of wine in a good mood, Ruan Fanghua interjected such a song, the emperor patronized the play and forgot to drink, and when he looked again, the maid was gone, and the person who disappeared at the same time was Feng Guiyi.

Come to think of it, he also noticed that something was wrong.

After the palace banquet, she went straight to the mansion of Feng Guixi, and the old housekeeper happily led her to the door of the study and respectfully invited her in.

Lian Qingcheng pushed open the door, Feng Gui sat lazily on the chair, and there was a person sitting in front of him, dressed in palace maid clothes, and his back was very delicate.

"Is that you?"

Even Qingcheng got closer to see the face clearly, and was suddenly shocked, the maid was actually a wild goose, no wonder she always felt familiar.

"Lian Gongzi, after a long absence, we meet again."
