After Luo Jiu listened to the commentary, it was getting dark, Luo Jiu thought that the eldest lady said that women would go out to play at night, and thought it must be very interesting, so he planned to stay and watch.

Luo Jiu was so unrestrained in the mountain gate that he forgot that he said to the palace housekeeper that he would return to the palace before sunset.

Luo Jiu looked at the vendors who were doing business, and there were many people selling lanterns, there were many styles of lanterns, there were colorful bird's nest lamps, red pomegranate lamps, crystal clear ice lanterns, delicate and small lotus lanterns, and most of them were various small animal lamps of different shapes and lifelike.

She looked at the colorful lanterns, and suddenly she was attracted by a small lantern in the corner. The beautiful rabbit lantern, the rabbit is snow-white, even though it is a flower lantern, it looks fluffy, and the big red eyes, coupled with long ears, come to life under the light of the candle.

Luo Jiu said to the lamp seller, "Boss, just take that lamp." When the peddler heard Luo Jiu point out that he wanted the rabbit lamp, he hurriedly echoed and praised: "That's really a good eye, this lamp is very good-looking, and the snow-white rabbit just matches the girl's red dress." ”

Luo Jiu was in a good mood, so he bought a lantern and planned to go to the river to see the lanterns. It was already dark, and the women began to go out one after another.

The housekeeper is an old man, so he is naturally very careful about this kind of thing, he saw that Dao Luojiu did not return to the house after sunset, and was a little worried about her safety, but he thought that Miss Luojiu was the younger sister of the prince, and she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, so he planned to wait for her for a while, and if she still did not return to the house, she would go to tell the prince.

Luo Jiu was having fun outside, she was in the mountains, she had been under the control of her master since she was a child, where had she ever seen such a lively night market. There were many men and women in the wide streets, and perhaps women were not allowed to go out in normal times, so today was the day of their tryst.

The things that are sold in the hawker include jade pendant hand ornaments, rouge gouache, and a dazzling array of various goods, which made Luo Jiu a little dazzled when he saw it.

There was an old tree by the river, the roots of the old trees were intertwined, some even sticking out of the ground, covered with traces of time, and the branches and leaves were dense and thick, and the pointed tops of the trees were inserted into the white night sky.

The ancient tree, the brown-black trunk, the trunk is as thick as two people hugging each other, the green leaves of the tree are very lovely, full of life, like an open green umbrella, the breeze blows, the leaves sway, rattle. What caught Luo Jiu's attention was that there were many red strips of cloth in the middle of the emerald green leaves.

Luo Jiu was curious about what those strips of cloth were for, so he stopped a girl of the same age as himself and asked, "I want to ask, what are these red strips of cloth for?" ”

The woman's face was a little shy, and she whispered: "This tree is called the marriage tree, and the men and women on it are all seeking marriage for themselves, and some are blessing the two of them for a long time." ”

After listening to the woman's explanation, Luo Jiu thanked him, and thought about getting one for himself and Song Zhancheng, so he hurriedly grabbed the woman who wanted to leave, and then asked, "Then dare to ask the girl if there is anything to say about this cloth?" ”

"Yes, yes." The girl nodded, and then said, "This red cloth strip needs to be asked for in the Yuelao Temple. Luo Jiu then asked, "Where is the old temple of the moon?" ”

The girl pointed to the road ahead and said, "After crossing the bridge of the river, and going further north, you will see a small temple, and that temple is the Yuelao Temple." ”

Luo Jiu thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly ran across the bridge and found the Yuelao Temple in the woman's mouth. There are not many people in the Yuelao Temple today, so Luo Jiu said that he asked for one to bless the two of them with a long marriage.

Luo Jiu got the red cloth strip, returned to the marriage tree, and made his wish sincerely: I don't want to be the only woman next to my senior brother, but I hope he has me by his side, and I hope he can give me a little bit of his liking, I have liked you since I was a child, and I have always liked you for many years.

The old housekeeper saw that it was already dark, but he still didn't see Luo Jiu return home, and he was afraid that Luo Jiu would have an accident, so he was a little worried about her, so he planned to inform Song Zhancheng.

When the housekeeper arrived at the study, Foshan happened to be at the door of the study and asked, "Butler, what are you doing so late?" The butler replied, "I wonder if the prince is inside?" I have something to tell the prince. ”

"The prince is handling affairs in the study, butler, go in." Foshan said a few words of greeting and let the housekeeper enter the study. Song Zhancheng saw the housekeeper coming, so he asked, "Is there anything wrong with the housekeeper coming to the study so late?" ”

The housekeeper glanced at Song Zhancheng and replied, "Back to the prince, Miss Luo Jiu left the house in the afternoon, but she has not returned to the house yet, I am a little worried about Miss Luo Jiu's safety and came to report." ”

Song Zhancheng looked at the housekeeper with some confusion and asked, "When did he leave the house?" The butler recalled for a moment and replied, "About the hour." ”

Song Zhancheng knew that her junior sister's martial arts, in this capital, ordinary people couldn't match her, so she wasn't very worried, but just called a few shadow guards to look for her.

Shadow Five and Shadow Six were sent out to find Luo Jiu, and finally found her under the marriage tree. Luo Jiu knew that he had forgotten to go home when he saw Shadow Five Shadow Six, and felt a little sorry, so he said something troublesome to Shadow Five Shadow Six.

The three of them returned to the palace together. When Luo Jiu saw Song Zhancheng standing at the door of the study, he knew that he had caused him trouble. Song Zhancheng was also relieved to see Luo Jiu return home safely, after all, Luo Jiu went out alone, and Song Zhancheng was still a little worried about her safety.

Song Zhancheng naturally knew that his junior sister's martial arts were not weak, but he thought that the prince had coveted Luo Jiu for a long time, and if Luo Jiu went out alone and was discovered by the prince, then Song Zhancheng didn't know how to explain to his sister.

In order to prevent Luo Jiu from leaving the mansion without authorization or failing to return within the time limit, Song Zhancheng pretended to be serious and said with a straight face: "Before leaving the mansion next time, you must remember to bring a maid or shadow guard." Be sure to head home before sunset. ”

Luo Jiu saw Song Zhancheng's serious face, and thought: Senior brother, is he very worried about himself? Luo Jiu knew that even if Song Zhancheng didn't have a relationship between men and women, he still had a friendship, after all, he was Song Zhancheng's little sister for so many years.

With this, how could Luo Jiu overpower Ye Xushuang. Luo Jiu smiled embarrassedly and replied, "I know, senior brother, next time I go out, I will definitely bring a maid and return early." ”

Song Zhancheng snorted, and let Luo Jiu go down to rest.

Luo Jiu returned to his courtyard, and the maid greeted him very anxiously and asked, "Girl, where have you been?" But it made me anxious. Luo Jiu replied casually: "But just go out of the mansion and take a look." ”

"That's fine, girl, are you hungry, slave maid go and prepare some food." The maid was about to go back to the small kitchen to get Luo Jiu some food, Luo Jiu waved her hand and said, "No need, I'll rest in a while." ”

After speaking, Luo Jiu returned to his room. The maid looked at Luo Jiu's back, sighed, and returned to her room.
