Text Chapter 24 Shangyuan Festival
The Shangyuan Festival is generally more lively at night, and there are no special activities during the day, so Murong Sichen and Chai Qingyue still stay in the prince's mansion to read books during the day.
In the evening, when it was getting westward, Murong Sichen came to Yingxue Pavilion to have dinner early, and then took Chai Qingyue out. In order to facilitate the viewing of the lanterns on the street, Chai Qingyue deliberately changed into a placket jacket that she used to wear at home, and the pipa sleeves are not only convenient for movement, but also can stuff some gadgets, which is simply better.
Murong Sichen had never seen Chai Qingyue dressed like this, and he actually saw the sign for a while. The long hair of the waterfall is tied in a lily bun, decorated with only a pair of small hairpins, and the fifteen-year-old girl's skin is already delicate and smooth, and the makeup has not been modified more, but there is a beauty of "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving".
The light blue jacket is paired with a lower skirt embroidered with a white rabbit, and the pipa sleeves look playful and cute, and Chai Qingyue, who is already lively and active, wears this old and new dress, and is inexplicably happy to circle in front of the mirror.
Thinking that Murong Sichen felt incomprehensible about his behavior, or maybe he felt that his outfit was a little inappropriate, Chai Qingyue blushed and lowered her head to admit her mistake: "That, I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited." ”
Murong Sichen awkwardly brushed his nose with his hand, and coughed lightly in disguise: "It's okay, let's go, the hour is almost up." After speaking, without waiting for Chai Qingyue to go together, he quickened his pace and left.
Originally, he was planning to travel in micro-clothes, but Murong Sichen did not ask the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, and took Chai Qingyue to walk onto the street from the gate of the prince's mansion. Fortunately, the Prince's Mansion turned two streets and entered the main street.
Chai Qingyue was like a white rabbit released from the cage, and she ran all the way when she entered the East Market, originally Murong Sichen was worried that Chai Qingyue would trip over her skirt because she was in a hurry, but later Murong Sichen found that her worries were simply unnecessary.
No, as soon as she saw something beautiful, Chai Qingyue couldn't help but pull the corner of Murong Sichen's clothes and exclaimed: "Wow, Murong Sichen, look, the lanterns over there are so big, they look so good." ”
Murong Sichen, who was suddenly called by his full name, was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't realize that Chai Qingyue was calling herself, after all, the people around her kept calling "His Royal Highness the Prince" one by one.
"You were just calling Hongu?" Murong Sichen asked Chai Qingyue uncertainly.
Murong Sichen's reminder, Chai Qingyue realized that she seemed to have called Murong Sichen's full name just now, which seemed to be disrespectful, and immediately drooped her head, like a bear child who had done something wrong and was taught a lesson.
Murong Sichen also realized that his question was too serious, and softened his tone before he continued: "It's okay, today is a micro-service trip, I just didn't call me for a while, after all, few people dare to call me by my name." ”
After a while, she heard Murong Sichen's explanation, and heard that Murong Sichen changed his self-proclaimed name from "Bengong" to "I", Chai Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to look up at Murong Sichen, afraid that such a gentle Murong Sichen was just her own delusion.
Murong Sichen took the initiative to step forward and touch Chai Qingyue's head, sighed, and said gently: "It's okay, just raise your head, I won't do anything to you." ”
Seeing that the person in front of him, who had always lowered his head, finally raised his head, Murong Sichen himself breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "If you like to call my name, you can call me, but the surname "Murong" is a national surname, so in order to avoid accidents, you can call me "Si Chen" directly." ”
Fortunately, it was in the downtown at night, although there were many lanterns, but they were not bright enough, otherwise Chai Qingyue would definitely find that Murong Sichen at this time was already red from his ears to the back of his neck.
It may be that the light of the lantern is too ambiguous, Murong Sichen suddenly reached out and grabbed Chai Qingyue's hand, and held Chai Qingyue's small hand in his warm big hand, after playing for so long, his hand was cold.
Chai Qingyue looked at Murong Sichen puzzled, as if trying to get an answer from his face.
However, Murong Sichen suddenly became extremely bold, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said cheekily: "There are too many people in the East Market, I am afraid that you will get lost, and you will ......."
And your hands are so cold, I can help you warm them.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Murong Sichen didn't seem to have the intention of continuing, Chai Qingyue asked puzzledly, "And what?" ”
The hard-mouthed Murong Sichen pursed his mouth and said stubbornly, "It's nothing." In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere he had created, Murong Sichen turned his gaze, saw the lanterns in the distance, and changed the topic stiffly: "Didn't you just say that the lanterns over there are better?" Let's go over there and have a look. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Chai Qingyue's response, he took Chai Qingyue's hand and walked forward. Chai Qingyue, who felt inexplicable, had no choice but to speed up her pace and keep up with Murong Sichen, so as not to be led by Murong Sichen and fall, which was too ...... Too...... Shame on you.
However, soon, Chai Qingyue, who was deeply attracted by all kinds of lanterns, had forgotten the embarrassment just now, and that her hand had been held by Murong Sichen.
And the shadow guard of the Prince's Mansion, who had been hiding in the shadows and quietly following Murong Sichen and Chai Qingyue, suddenly had an urge to poke his eyes, what did he just see? When the prince went to lead the princess, it seemed to be ...... Embarrassing? Yes, it's supposed to be shy.
No, they didn't see anything.
More than a dozen shadow guards looked at each other in the air with tacit understanding, and then hurriedly put aside their eyes in tacit understanding, and continued to blend in with the crowd and began to enjoy the lively and extraordinary East Market with great interest.
On the one hand, Xiao Yu in the Prince's Mansion, and then the wind and cold of the previous two days have not been cured, and he rested in his room early this afternoon, and no one would suspect that Xiao Yu would sneak out of the back door of the Prince's Mansion by himself after Murong Sichen and Chai Qingyue went out.
Xiao Yu wore a black cotton cloak, hurried to a dilapidated small courtyard on Changlang Street in the west of the capital, and saw that there was no one in the alley, so he began to knock on the door.
Knocked lightly three times, the door opened from the inside, and a person who looked like a young man in his twenties poked out.
It was none other than the lover that Chai Qingyue had been thinking about, Qin Changyong. Qin Changyong has just turned twenty years old after the New Year, and after his birthday in May, he can be regarded as a true adult.
originally planned to officially propose to Chai Qingyue's family after he became an adult, first set the marriage, bring himself to the top of the list, and officially marry Chai Qingyue into the family.
However, a holy decree, a holy decree destroyed Qin Changyong's original plan.
