Approaching the end of the year, Ye Huaijin's affairs suddenly increased, and he was no longer as idle as before, wearing the stars and the moon every day, and almost didn't care about watching the sunrise and sunset.

Yuan never packed up and went back to her parents' house, Xu knew in her heart that Ye Huaijin at this time was not easy to mess with, and she even hibernated quietly, and did not cry anymore and wiped her tears everywhere to explain.

Xie Wanyan was stuffy in the wing room every day, and basically didn't step out of the door except for things that had to be solved outside.

Cheng Jingxi and Ye Huaiyu sometimes go out together to find food in Beijing, and sometimes they go to the suburbs to find living creatures that are still out.

There is a folk custom in Jokhang, that is, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month every year, a lantern festival will be held on this day in various places.

When the time comes, there will be jugglers coming to ask for a reward, and major commercial houses will also have fresh items to launch, if any of them sell well, it will definitely be a hit in the new year. The ladies and ladies of the dignitaries love this new way, which is held every year and will not be absent every year.

This kind of thing is naturally indispensable to the Ye family.

Of course, there must be a beautiful exchange between men and women in the lantern festival, and there are not a few people who have become a good story in previous years.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the lantern festival officially began.

Cheng Jingxi lived in the palace in previous years and couldn't come out, every year he just stood on the city tower from afar and looked at it thoughtfully, and if he wanted to see a group of eunuchs and palace maids, he couldn't stop urging, and he urged you to be very disturbed, and there was no thought left to watch it, so he gave up.

It's good this year, not only can she feel it in person, but she can even play as long as she wants, and she can play until they are all over and then go back, anyway, Ye Huaiyu told her that he will be with her.

The lantern festival only starts at night, and the long street is crowded with performers during the day, and the shops are full of lights, and there is a long table in front of the door, on which all kinds of fresh gadgets are placed, and jewelry rouge and pink del and the like emerge in endlessly, and you are sure to be able to pick one and return satisfied.

Cheng Jingxi and Ye Huaiyu didn't go out with their families, the two went out by themselves, shopping and eating all the way, and before they could eat, Cheng Jingxi's stomach was already round.

"In the past, I could only come out at night to look at the lights in the palace, and I couldn't see anything during the day."

Cheng Jingxi is interested in everything, wants to try everything, and even wants to try to learn from the performers to break the boulder in her chest, if she wasn't pulled away by Ye Huaiyu in time, she is afraid that she will be able to make money at this moment.

Ye Huaiyu said with a smile: "Actually, if you look at it every year in the future, you will find a pattern." ”

"What?"

"These things are the same every year, especially those who come to perform arts, and the routines have never changed."

"I'll talk about it next year, anyway, I think it's quite fun now," Cheng Jingxi said, "It's better than what I can't see in the palace." ”

Next year......

Ye Huaiyu suddenly felt a little melancholy, and unknowingly, he had been married to her for nearly a year.

I don't know if they will come out to hang out and chat together like this next year, and I don't know if she will be excited to perform a chest crushing boulder and threaten to make money to support her family.

Year after year, I was really worried and uneasy with her.

Ye Huaijin is an official in the court, and on this day, he still has to enter the palace to discuss state affairs with the emperor, and he will not stop until the evening, and it is impossible to say whether the lantern festival can catch up with the hot ones.

Xie Wanyan got dressed out of the west wing, followed by Pei'er, the master and servant went in the direction of the outside of the mansion together, and the middle road was smooth, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Xie Wanyan is used to acting alone, in fact, she is not used to being around her to always follow the person to serve back and forth, but she also knows that this Pei'er was sent by Mrs. Ye just in case, if she rejects it too much, it will inevitably cause unnecessary suspicion, and even the sensitive nerves of some people, so even if she is unwilling in her heart, she has to go wherever she takes people.

If you want to do something, just get rid of it.

When she went out, it was almost evening, the lantern festival had gradually started in the warm-up, and the bustling people on the street seemed a little crowded.

"Girl, have you ever been out to see the Lantern Festival before?"

Xie Wanyan shook his head, "Never." She looked at the little girl's excited face, and couldn't help asking, "What about you?" ”

Pei'er said: "The slave and maid have not been, the girl is willing to take the slave and the maid out, and the slave and maid really don't know how to be happy!" ”

Xie Wanyan lowered his eyes and said: "If you like it, you can go find a place you like to play, you don't have to accompany me, I can also recognize the way back, and I won't lose it." ”

"How's that going to work?" Pei'er shook her head again and again, "The slave maid came out with the girl, besides, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if the slave and maid really go to play by herself, the girl will happen to be in danger?" There was not even one to report home! Pei'er looked around, and suddenly felt that everyone looked like a bad person, as if she could come over and bully her girl, and leaned over and whispered, "Girl, don't look at this in Shangjing, there are quite a lot of gentlemen in Shangjing, and they like to find girls to be happy when they are idle all day long, girl, you look so standard and exquisite, you must be the object of that group of people's teasing, slaves and maids can't leave girls, slaves and maids want to protect girls!" ”

The little girl has sharp teeth, and she fights with Bi'er in the East Courtyard, and the horn is endless, and every word is reasonable, which makes it impossible to refute.

Xie Wanyan stopped in one place to look at the lights, "I'm just afraid that you're too boring, and you won't be able to play well with me." ”

"How so?" Pei'er said, "It's fun to follow the girl, you can talk to the girl when you see it's fun, the slave has no one to say when she plays alone, it's boring!" ”

Xie Wanyan knew that if she continued to talk about it, it would definitely make this little girl suspicious, so she gave up for the time being.

Walking quietly to the house of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Xie Wanyan raised his head inadvertently, not knowing what he saw in the distance, his eyes were slightly condensed.

"Pelle." Xie Wanyan shouted softly.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

"Did you smell anything?"

Pei'er sniffed the words, and then nodded, "It's really a fragrance, I don't know what it's delicious!" ”

Xie Wanyan tugged the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "I'm a little tired, and I didn't care about eating when I went out, you go and buy it for me according to the taste, and I'll wait for you here." ”

Pei'er hesitated for a moment, "But I want to leave the girl here alone......"

"Don't worry," Xie Wanyan said patiently, "I'm standing here, I can't lose it, there are so many people here, if someone really wants to bully me, they won't be so blatant and out of the way, you go quickly!" ”

Pei'er thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in response, and before leaving, she didn't forget to tell, "That girl must be waiting for the slave here!" ”

Xie Wanyan nodded yes, and looked at the figure of the little maid who disappeared after a few moments, then she retracted her eyebrows, turned her head to look at a place not far away, and walked over quickly.

However, before he reached his destination, he was stopped head-on by several loosely dressed people.

Xie Wanyan's eyebrows were cold, the hand hidden under his clothes tightened suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to make a move.

But in the next moment, she let go of her fist, made a panicked look, frowned, and took a step back, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Several people shook the jade pendant on their waists, and showed a lewd smile in tacit understanding, and one of them said, "What are you doing?" Of course, it's because the little lady is so beautiful, and a few of us really want to come over and have fun with the little lady! ”

Xie Wanyan panicked and wanted to turn around and escape, but as soon as he moved, he was suddenly pulled by his dress, "Eh, what are you running?" We can't eat you again! ”

"Let go of me!" Xie Wanyan shouted loudly, "Someone, help-"

"Shut her mouth!"

"Hmm-"

The laughter of the person covering her was still in her ear, and the hands and feet of the others began to be dishonest, and someone touched her face fiercely, and took a deep breath as if she was enjoying it, "Sure enough, it's different from the girl in 'there', this grade is not the same top!" ”

According to Xie Wanyan's guess, "there" should refer to Qinglou.

She guessed slowly in her heart, but her mind was a little empty, she wondered when he would see before he would come out.

Maybe it really won't come out, maybe Cheng Jingxi is right.

Xie Wanyan closed her eyes, and noticed that a person's hand was about to reach into her clothes, and her icy heart felt even colder, she suddenly bent her fingers into claws, but just as she wanted his life, she heard the voice that could not be more familiar-

"Dare to be wild in Shangshu Mansion? Impatient to live? ”

The voice was cold, but I couldn't hear whether there was anger in it.

Xie Wanyan's hand suddenly let go again, and the corners of his mouth showed a little smile imperceptibly.

You're wrong, he cares, Your Highness the Princess.

Those few people didn't expect that someone would dare to come out to care about them, and they were all stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and looked back at the owner of the voice with disdain, and then, their bodies trembled involuntarily.

"Gu ......"

"Get out."

He spit out this word lightly, instantly scaring away everyone around Xie Wanyan.

Then he looked up at her, still the same look, which was completely different from when he was in front of people, and asked coldly, "Why don't you make a move?" ”

"I'm waiting for you."

Gu Boyan paused, and Fang said, "Don't put your mind on inconsequential things. ”

Xie Wanyan's heart trembled suddenly, "Doesn't it matter?" ”

"Yes."

Xie Wanyan smiled, word by word, as if he didn't stop until he reached his goal: "I don't believe it, you lie!" ”

Gu Boyan looked at her silently.

"If that's what you say, why are you going to stop it?"

"It's still useful for me to keep you."

Xie Wanyan's heart chuckled, she already knew the answer, but she still couldn't help but ask him, "What are you keeping me for?" ”

"Do what you didn't finish."
