On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Yunxi did not stay in the palace on this day, but left the palace early in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, and from the thirteenth to the seventeenth of the first month is the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, and it is also the only day of the Ming Dynasty that is not curfew, and all cities across the country are very lively.

It has also become the busiest day for government officials across the country. Especially in the capital, where there are as many officials as dogs, any official who has something at home will find trouble with the two magistrates, so in the past few days, all the officials of Jiangning County and Shangyuan County have been dispatched to maintain law and order in the capital.

Yun Xi walked on the road, and rarely saw a government official or a fan of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrolling the streets on every street, but there was no extortion, at least Yun Xi didn't see it, but it was inevitable that people with suspicious deeds would be interrogated.

Yun Xi came out today to go shopping. He counted his fingers last night and found that he hadn't been to the people for almost a year.

He felt that this was not good, that he was too detached from the masses. As the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, although his job duties do not include serving the people, and he does not have to come from the masses to the masses, it is always bad to be separated from the masses.

So Yun Xi decided to go out of the palace today to take a walk around and observe the people's feelings. Although the life of the people in the capital is not universal, it can also be seen.

As the day of the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, the street is of course very lively, and countless people wander around the street.

The happiest are of course the children. They can wear new clothes for the Chinese New Year, they can eat things that they are usually reluctant to eat, and they can get a little pocket money to buy new gadgets. Especially these five days are the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and many children who have spent all their pocket money have got some pocket money and happily walked around the street near their homes.

Yun Xi couldn't help but smile when he saw these children. At this time, there are not so many bear children on the street, and there are many nobles in the capital, so maybe a person in a cloth dress has something to do with the six books or which lord, and each family has told their children not to collide with the living.

In the capital, at least the children of the people above the earl dare to be bear children. However, such people go out with their subordinates, and ordinary people avoid them far away when they see them.

Of course, Yun Xi is surrounded by a bunch of guards, but Yun Xi's guards are mostly good at disguise, and everyone is wearing the same clothes, just like a group of ordinary hereditary generals in the guard. Although the people will not provoke, they will not deliberately avoid it. Yun Xi was wearing an inconspicuous cotton coat at this time, mixed in with the guards.

Yun Xi walked several streets in succession, but he didn't see the children of the powerful families bullying people, nor did he see the officials blackmailing, so he said to the guards: "It seems that the capital is well governed." Ying Tianfu, Shangyuan, and Jiangning County should all be praised. ”

The guards were a little puzzled: I didn't see the powerful bullying people, there were not many such things in the capital now, and no one wanted to have any bad luck during the New Year; But it's strange not to see the officials blackmailing, such a day is a good time for the officials to make extra money!

They didn't expect that several streets of Yunxi's strolls are in Shangyuan County, and the current Shangyuan Zhixian is Huang Huai, who was born in Yunxi's Zhongshushe. Huang Huai definitely didn't plan to stay longer in the official position of the magistrate, and he also knew that Yunxi's decentralization of him was to train him, so after he took office, he acted vigorously and resolutely, rectified the rule of officials, and expelled several officials who had more evil deeds.

These people also want to find people, but the people they can find are only the officials of Ying Tianfu, and these officials of Ying Tianfu dare not offend Huang Huai, so naturally no one goes to find trouble with Huang Huai. So these people all knew that there was someone above Huang Huai, and they all worked honestly under Huang Huai. Huang Huai also knew that Yun Xi had the habit of going out for a stroll in the Lantern Festival these days, so he was very strict in these days, and they naturally couldn't find out about the blackmail of the officials.

Yun Xi walked around for a long time, felt a little hungry, found a noodle restaurant for lunch, and then walked towards the side gate of the capital. But Yunxi didn't go in, just waited outside, as if waiting for someone. The guards were a little puzzled.

But they didn't wonder right away, because someone came over, and when they saw the person who was the leader, it turned out to be the queen of the Ming Dynasty!

It turned out that Yun Xi thought that Queen Xiyao had come to the palace since she entered the palace, and she had never been out of the palace except for worship, so she took her to take a walk outside the palace today.

The guards were nervous and at a loss, and subconsciously wanted to kneel down and salute, but they reacted that this was a micro-suit, and they hurriedly stopped.

It's not just that they're nervous, but Xi Yao is even more nervous than them. The crown princess followed the prince to go shopping, and Xi Yao had seen it in the literati notes of the previous dynasty; It is even more common for emperors to wander around the capital alone; But I had never seen the Empress go shopping with the Emperor.

Xi Yao was too nervous, so she involuntarily reached out and grabbed Yun Xi's hand, and immediately felt at ease. Yun Xi also took her hand and walked towards the place where the lantern festival would be.

The guards were stunned, this is outside the palace, this is too shocking, if the old pedant who knows Yun Xi sees it, Yun Xi will have some strange reputation tomorrow; Xi Yao is even more likely to obtain the fox spirit, the most senior honorary title for the emperor's concubine.

But they looked at Yun Xi's expression of course, and Xi Yao's expression of peace of mind, who dared to go up and remind him? They had to go, and then the guards guarded all directions, making sure that no one else could see them.

However, in this way, Yun Xi and Xi Yao's vision was also blocked. Xi Yao was a little strange, and then felt that her right hand seemed to be holding another hand, and suddenly understood, her face turned red, and she hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Yun Xi.

Yun Xi smiled softly, and did not obsess on grabbing Xi Yao's hand back. This is not in the palace after all, and Yun Xi is also afraid that he and Xi Yao will have some strange titles tomorrow.

Walking to the place of the Lantern Festival, Xi Yao saw that she had been here before, and said, "Husband, the Lantern Festival is the best at night, and it is still a little short." ”

Yun Xi replied: "Of course it's the best at night, but it's ......"

He didn't finish his sentence, but Xi Yao already understood what he meant.

To say that this lantern festival is naturally the best at night, but Yun Xi has a special identity, and before succeeding to the throne, he sneaked out in the afternoon to watch the evening meeting, but after succeeding to the throne, he didn't dare.

Xi Yao took Yun Xi around the lantern festival, and from time to time pointed to a certain lantern seller and said, "I have seen this person every year from seven to fifteen years old, but he is younger than this, but I didn't expect to sell lanterns here." ”

Of course, Xiyao didn't just watch, but also bought, and bought a lot. Perhaps it was here that evoked a lot of her childhood memories, and Xiyao, who was usually steady, also became childish, and from time to time she said a few words to the old sellers she had seen before.

Don't say it, sisters who look similar are rare, and Xiyao is dressed almost the same as before she got married, but her hair bun is different, so there are still many people who remember her, and many people inquire: "What about your sister or sister, why didn't she come out with you?" ”

Xi Yao didn't know how to answer, so she didn't speak, but most people immediately realized: "You are both married, so naturally it is inconvenient to come out together." ”

There were also many people who talked to each other after they were far away: "You said that the two sisters look so similar, even if they are in the wrong room, they probably can't recognize each other." Maybe that's what happened. ”

They thought that Yun Xi and his wife couldn't hear it, and Yun Xi and his wife really couldn't hear it, but there were still guards scattered around to protect it! That's why the guards heard it.

However, the guard didn't dare to say anything to Yun Xi, but just glared at those people fiercely, and thought to himself: "I look good with you guys when I turn around." ’

Seeing that it was getting dark, and Yun Xi still had something to do at night, the couple planned to return; But just as they were about to go out, Xiyao heard a confused voice: "Yao'er? ”

Xiyao immediately turned her head sideways, and saw her brother Xue Xiran, sister-in-law Wei, and younger brother Xue Xiyang.

Yun Xi also turned his head, and when he saw that it was a few of them, he immediately said to Xi Yao, who was looking a little excited: "Don't shout!" He ordered a few more words to the guards around him, and then took Xi Yao to a nearby restaurant and asked for a cubicle. Along the way, Xi Yao couldn't give up, thinking about your brother.

After a while, Xu Ran walked in with his wife and younger brother, and was just about to salute when he was stopped by Yun Xi: "No need, there are not many times when you brothers and sisters meet, so you don't have to salute." ”

Yun Xi then stood up and said to Xi Yao, "I'll wait for you outside." And he walked out.

Xi Ran wanted to speak, but before he could say anything, Xi Yao said first: "Big brother, it's been a long time,......

Xi Yao hadn't seen her brother for a long time, and she had a lot to say, and she knew that time was running out, so she said it quickly and hurriedly, and Xi Ran and Xi Yang sometimes didn't have a chance to answer. However, Xi Yao seems to just want to talk to her brothers, and doesn't care much about whether they answer or not.

After a while, Xuan Ran got the opportunity to ask, "Big sister, Your Majesty took you out to visit the Lantern Festival today?" "He still thinks he's dreaming.

Xi Yao blushed and nodded.

Xuan Ran suddenly sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty is really to you," he didn't know what word to use at all, favor?

Xu Yang also took the opportunity to ask, "Eldest sister, what about the second sister?" Didn't come out together? ”

"Yi'er stays in the palace to take care of the house." Xi Yao touched his head and said with a smile. Although Xu Yang is taller than her now, in Xi Yao's heart, he will always be that little boy.

They said a few more words to each other, and Xi Ran instructed: "Yao'er, even if Your Majesty favors you, you must do your duty as a queen, and don't be arrogant." ”

Xi Yao nodded and said, "I know, my parents have also told me many times. ”

After that, Xu Ran walked out with his wife and younger brother first, and left after saluting Yun Xi. Xi Yao straightened her hair, wiped her face again, and walked out to return to the palace with Yun Xi.
