On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. During the state funeral, it is forbidden to drink and feast, and it is forbidden to marry and funeral, and officials do not dare to slap the royal family in the face on charges of great disrespect. As time went on, these rules were lifted one after another. Unmarried women in this era usually stay at home, and only a limited number of days can make an exception to go out together, and Shangyuan Festival is one of them.

Yulan had long heard that this year's lantern festival was not completely canceled, but it was much smaller than in the past, concentrated in a few neighborhoods in Dongcheng, and organized by the people. This kind of thing, in fact, the emperor also knows the way, but although the orthodox emperor is not a wise and martial artist, his personality is also relatively kind, and he will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

It is a rare annual festival. When Yulan arrived at the second gate, he saw a carriage parked at the door, and even the fifth wife came out.

The fifth wife's son is named Brother Cong, compared to the early death of Brother En, this son is healthy and lively, and the fifth wife does not leave the house after confinement, and stays at home all day long and looks at her son every inch.

Yulan stepped forward to salute, the topic was naturally inseparable from Brother Cong'er, and he couldn't say a few words, the eldest wife, the second wife, and Yuqing, including Chengzu, Chengye, Chengzong, and Chenghe, all came out one after another. plus the little maids, the door is almost full. What Yulan brought out today were Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu and Yuan Zi. Qian's mother took the initiative to stay and watch the yard.

Yuxia is the last one to come, she is dressed up in a fancy way, lined with her good skin, but also quite colorful. It's just that the style between her eyebrows and eyes makes Yulan feel that she has a "little three" temperament the more she looks. She shook her head secretly in her heart, close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, what kind of mother she has, what kind of daughter she will teach.

When they greeted each other, Yuxia smiled at her: "Good sister, you are so beautiful today." Today, our sisters will go all the way, you can't leave me alone and be happy! There was a lot of intimacy in his tone.

Even the eldest lady looked at Yuxia strangely.

Yulan still continues the previous style today, dressed refreshingly and appropriately, she wears it like this every day, but she has never heard Yuxia praise her words, Yulan secretly wonders, has this fifth sister changed her temperament?

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, Yulan quietly looked at Yuxia with the corner of her eye, and saw that the light under her eyes flashed slightly, what was Yuxia going to do? She noticed it in her heart.

When the people arrived, the eldest lady said, "Since everyone is here, let's go!" Everyone got into the carriage one after another, and there were too many people today, so Yulan and the three sisters Yuxia and Yuqing sat in a carriage. The carriage staggered out of the gate of Yangfu and went straight to Tiemaoer Hutong, where the neighborhood had the most Dengshan and was the most lively.

Along the way, Yulan found that Yuxia had been looking at her with flickering eyes, but when she met her gaze, she had a different face. Yulan was secretly surprised in her heart, Yuxia must have some bad intentions, and she must be on guard for a while.

Soon arrived at the iron hat alley, under the background of the lanterns, bright as day, a scene of fire trees and silver flowers, although the scale is less than half of the previous years, but the end is very lively.

Xu is this year's national mourning ban is ruthless, the people in Beijing finally got such an opportunity to go out to play, all of them poured out of the nest, several nearby lit alleys were crowded, and the carriage could not drive into the alley when it reached the mouth of the alley. The crowd had to come down and walk.

There are stalls everywhere, jugglers, and sellers, Yulan has lived for more than 20 years in his previous life, and has never experienced such an atmospheric Lantern Festival, and he looked around with curiosity for a while. Yuxia suddenly said: "Turning left in front of you is the mansion of the Shen family, the richest man in Beijing, every year their lights are extraordinarily novel, I don't know how Lu Dao is this year, seventh sister, why don't we go and see?" ”

Yulan was wearing a hat and carrying a lantern in her hand, and smiled slightly when she heard this: "If the fifth sister is interested in going by herself, I will follow my wife!" She has made up her mind that she must keep up with the big army today, as long as everyone is there, then Yuxia will not be able to carry out any conspiracy and tricks.

Yuxia's face changed, and she snorted slightly: "I don't know what to do, in that case, let's go by ourselves with kumquats!" With that, he took the kumquat and turned left into another alley. Since they all came out to play, on this day, the wives did not restrict a few girls, but only ordered to bring the maids and gather at the place where the carriage was parked at the entrance of the alley an hour later. Yuxia went on her own, and the eldest lady didn't bother to care.

Yulan always felt that Yuxia had something to do tonight, and when she left, Yulan's mood also relaxed a lot. The more she walked inside, the more people came, and after walking for a while, she realized that she had unconsciously separated from the eldest lady and the others. When I looked back, I saw that the third brother Chengzong was still behind, and then I felt a little relieved.

Yulan was secretly rejoicing, and suddenly a crowd of people poured out of nowhere, and Yulan was carried by this crowd and walked involuntarily towards the alley on the left.

Yulan was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted at the three girls, "Follow me!" Don't get scattered! Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu and Yuan Zi were all loyal, and the three of them surrounded Yulan and followed her inch by inch. It wasn't until everyone entered the alley on the left that there were fewer people.

Yulan felt the pressure relaxed, raised his eyes, and saw that the Shen family's mansion was in the middle of the alley, and sure enough, there was a large mountain of lights, and all kinds of tricks were very complicated, and there were many people gathered in three layers and three layers outside. Yulan glanced around, and didn't see Yuxia in his sight, so he was slightly relieved.

At this time, in the Shen family's mansion, there was no one in the bedroom of the main courtyard, only a faint smile full of obscenity: "Heart and liver, I miss you to death!" But it was the voice of the prince. The reason why the Shen family can become the richest man in Beijing is naturally supported by nobles, and the backstage of the Shen family is the crown prince Ye Minshu, but at this moment, Ye Minshu borrowed the Shen family's place to have a private meeting with Yuxia.

He took Yuxia in his arms, sniffing impatiently on her face and neck, and a hand had reached into her arms. Yuxia ate and smiled: "Your Highness, what's the hurry?" When we finish a play, you can justifiably marry me as a side concubine, and you don't have to be so sneaky anymore. ”

The prince hehe□jj said: "You are comfortable waiting alone, and Lone has the strength to act with you, a little goblin!" ”

Yuxia muttered: "Your Highness, you are really bad!" It's just that I don't know if my cousin can get it? ”

The prince paused and said, "You hate your seventh sister so much? Your cousin is a roe deer, and he is still only a white man, and his family is so poor that once he and your sister have a skin-to-skin relationship, your sister will have only one way to marry him. ”

Yuxia's eyes were full of viciousness: "No, how can you solve the hatred in my heart!" ”

The prince said: "Your sister is beautiful and fragrant, it's a pity to spoil it like this, since you want to ruin her reputation, it's better to just cheapen me!" ”

Yuxia was taken aback, and hurriedly tried her best to be coquettish: "Your Highness, can you eat in the bowl and look at the pot." My sister has a good skin, am I bad? ”

The prince looked at Yuxia up and down, and the eldest lady was also laissez-faire to Yuxia, and she didn't bother to care about it at all, so they found countless opportunities to have a secret tryst these days, Yuxia's ability to please people's hearts and Aunt Liu learned ten out of ten, and the prince was served comfortably by her, and he was really a little inseparable from her.

But thinking of Yulan's delicate and perfect little face, the prince was also faintly reluctant in his heart. But he thought about it, Yulan and the county lord of Qingjiang have a good relationship with Ye Minzhao, the county lord of Qingjiang represents the power of the Qin King Ye Feng Qi lineage, and Ye Minzhao represents the power of Jingyang Palace.

The prince's heart was full of twists and turns, and he quickly made up his mind. It's a pity that such a superb beauty!

At this time, he had already stripped Yuxia of her clothes, pressed her on the bed, and gasped: "No matter how good she is, how can she compare to you, a little goblin......"

Yulan was crowded by people, and when she came to this Shenjia alley, she was thoughtful, and she didn't want to stay here longer, she just wanted to find her family as soon as possible, and go home together after meeting with them. She took the three maids to walk back against the flow of people, and after walking a few steps, she found that something was wrong, Yuan Zi came over and whispered to her: "Girl, there are more than a dozen men behind us who have been following, as if they have bad intentions!" I'll just send them away! ”

It was the first time Yulan had encountered this kind of thing, and her head was slightly sweating: "Don't act rashly, there are so many people here, they don't dare to mess around." ”

Yuan Zi nodded, seeing that there was an intersection in front of him, and when he got out of this alley, he could find his family, and he would be safe at that time. At this moment, another crowd of people rushed in. Yuan Zi nervously guarded next to Yulan, and when everyone passed, Xiaoyue suddenly said nervously: "Xiaoyu, girl, Xiaoyu is gone!" ”

"What's going on?" Yulan was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Yuan Zi's eyes were sharp, and he saw not far away, Xiaoyu was sandwiched between four big men and was walking towards a small black alley in the middle of a two-room mansion. Apparently her mouth had been covered and she couldn't make a sound. Several big Han people were tall and big, and the crowd hurried by, and no one noticed it for a while.

Yuan Zi asked nervously, "Girl, what should I do?" She is absolutely confident that she can save Xiaoyu, but once she leaves Yulan, she doesn't know what those people will do. Yuan Zi was a little hesitant.

How could Yulan see Xiaoyu being kidnapped, only caring about her own safety and not doing anything? She said without hesitation: "What are you still stunned about, go and save people!" Let's go! ”

The three of them managed to squeeze out of the crowd and walked briskly towards the small alley. The small alley is located between two large mansions, there are no lights, it is dark, and naturally no one will come here. The three of them glanced at each other, Yulan was the first to walk in, and Yuan Zi and Xiaoyue hurriedly followed.

Although this alley is small, it is very deep, after walking for a while, the voices outside have gradually thinned out, Yulan is secretly anxious, Xiaoyue's eyes are sharp, and she shouted: "Look, Xiaoyu is in front!" ”
