Chapter 47: The Encounter of the Lantern Festival
The beauty of the Western Regions is missing, and Gu Yu is naturally very concerned. Dieyi asked her to take the skin on the right cheek of the beauty of the Western Regions before the Lantern Festival, but now the person is missing. Could it be that this beauty from the Western Regions knew that she was going to come to take her face, so she ran away?
"Xiao Yu'er, didn't you say last time that you won't come to drink flower wine in the future? Why is it coming again today? The prince teased: "You don't accept this prince, shouldn't it be your good girl?" ”
"That's right, I'm just a good girl, and I especially like the beauties of the Western Regions. I originally wanted to come to see Fang Ze, but now it's no show. I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find the beauty of the Western Regions as soon as possible to relieve my lovesickness. "Gu Yu is serious nonsense.
And Jiani, who was on the side, heard what Gu Yu said, and the sip of wine she had just drunk in her mouth sprayed directly on the face of the prince opposite.
Jiani couldn't help laughing, but when she saw the gloomy face of the prince opposite, she hurriedly wiped it for the prince with a handkerchief, but was pushed away by the prince.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it!" Jiani laughed as she spoke.
Gu Yu asked the prince, "You came to investigate the case, but you got drunk, could it be that the beauty of the Western Regions disappeared in the wine vat?" ”
Jiani's laughter was so low that she couldn't help but laugh again.
The prince glanced at Jiani and directly supported his forehead, "Lei Jiani, can you be a lady?" Can you be tactful when you laugh? ”
"I'm laughing at me, is it in your way?" Jiani rolled her eyes at him, and then said to Gu Yu, "Sister, is the beauty of the Western Regions really beautiful?" ”
"I've only seen it from afar, and it's indeed a beautiful country." Gu Yu said: "I just didn't expect it to disappear suddenly." Your Royal Highness the Prince, what clues have you found? Share a tab or two with us! ”
"Xiao Yu'er, you seem to be very interested in the beauties of the Western Regions. You can't have any intentions for her, do you? The prince looked at Gu Yu strangely.
"Didn't I just say that? I've got a crush on her! ”
"Can you be serious?" The prince said helplessly: "Let's exchange news." How is it? ”
"Yes, you say it first!" Gu Yu looked serious.
"The beauty of the Western Regions is a dancer bought from the Western Regions by Linglong Pavilion for a lot of money, named Lan Qin. She was originally an orphan with no background. The girls who can enter the Linglong Pavilion have been strictly deleted from their backgrounds. The biggest possibility of the disappearance of the beauty of the Western Regions is that she eloped with someone. According to the bustard here, a son has recently come to her field every day. Since she disappeared, the son's main palace has also gone to investigate, and this person has also disappeared. It can be seen that these two people may have the intention of Lang You's concubine, but they didn't have the money to redeem themselves, so they eloped quietly! The prince said.
"Linglong Pavilion is so tightly guarded, will it be easy for people to escape? I don't think it's that simple! Jiani interjected.
Gu Yu nodded, "Jiani is right, how can they get rid of the guards of Linglong Pavilion?" ”
The prince frowned, "The palace is also suspicious, so I went to Linglong Pavilion to check, but there was no clue at all!" ”
"Well, since that's the case, we won't disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Jiani, let's go! After Gu Yu finished speaking, he left.
"Xiao Yu'er, haven't you told Bengong what you know?" The prince hurriedly stopped Gu Yu.
"I said, I'm just interested in Lan Qin. That's all! Gu Yu winked at the prince and pulled Jiani away.
The prince looked at Gu Yu's departing back and smiled helplessly.
Gu Yu sent Jiani to the General's Mansion, and then returned to the embroidery workshop.
When he arrived at the embroidery workshop, he reported the news of the disappearance of the beauty in the Western Regions to Dieyi, and Dieyi was not surprised at all, "Since she is no longer in Linglong Pavilion, then we don't need to wait until after the Lantern Festival, and we will leave for Haoyuan tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow?" Gu Yu didn't expect it to be so fast, he was really a little surprised.
"What? Do you have anything to attend to here? Dieyi glanced at her.
"No, I just didn't expect it to be so fast!"
"It's a matter of no sooner rather than later. We're quicker, and we might be able to catch up with her! ”
"Master, are you saying that the beauties of the Western Regions also went to Haoyuan?" Gu Yu asked.
"It should be!" Die Yi suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Yu, "Has the Red Hell Sect Master been here?" ”
"I've been here, saying that she has a piece of human skin placed here for you, please make it into embroidery, I don't know if it's finished?" Gu Yu replied.
"Okay, I got it!" Dieyi thought for a moment, and then said to Gu Yu: "We will leave early tomorrow morning, you hurry up and pack your luggage." ”
"Yes!" Gu Yu went back to his room, and not long after hearing the sound of Dieyi closing the door, Gu Yu found that Dieyi was out of the door, and he didn't know what to do!
Lime knew that he would leave for Haoyuan early tomorrow morning, and his heart was naturally very happy. kept describing the scene of Haoyuan Kingdom to Gu Yu, and said: "Haoyuan Kingdom is colder than Nanli, so you should bring more cotton clothes." Although the New Year has passed now, it will still be cold for a while. ”
Gu Yu thought that he could see Nangong Yu when he went to Haoyuan, and he was also happy in his heart. Because of Nangong Yu, Haoyuan became meaningful to Gu Yu.
"By the way, master, what do you do with Lin Wan?" Lime asked.
"Give her to the prince to dispose of!" Gu Yu thought about it and said.
"Master, kill her!" Lime advised, "It's a curse to keep her alive." ”
"It's fine. You go and deal with it! "Gu Yu really doesn't want to see Lin Yun.
Lime immediately went to the backyard......
*
The road from Nanli to Haoyuan is long, and it may be faster if you ride a horse. However, Dieyi hired two carriages. One is Dieyi's, and the other is Gu Yu and Lime. The two little guys who drove the car were arranged by Dieyi, and they seemed to be extraordinary and silent. Gu Yu once asked Dieyi where Azhuo went? Dieyi only said that Ah Zhuo had other tasks, and refused to say anything else. Although Gu Yu is Dieyi's apprentice, she doesn't know many things.
The carriage walked for ten days before entering the border of Haoyuan, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month in the Southern Li Kingdom, but the 16th Lantern Festival in this border town in the first month. Gu Yu and the others arrived in this town, which coincided with the Lantern Festival of the locals.
"It's the first time I've heard that this Lantern Festival is on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month!" Gu Yu asked strangely, "Master, have you heard of it?" ”
"I have been to this town, and I heard that many years ago, the parents of this town were very good officials, honest and upright, and very good at doing things for the people. Later, the day of his death was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and people moved this Lantern Festival to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month in order to commemorate him. And on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole town will go to the ancestral hall to burn incense to remember him. This habit continues to this day. ”
"I see, so this Lantern Festival has become the sixteenth day of the first month." Gu Yu said.
"There's the inn ahead!" Die Yi pointed to the "Welcome Guest" inn not far away and said, "Just live here!" ”
After arranging accommodation, Dieyi said to Gu Yu: "You can take lime for a walk, and it's also good to guess some lantern riddles." I'm going to meditate for my teacher! ”
"Yes!" There was something fun, Gu Yu was very happy, and took the lime to the street. Both sides of the street are full of lanterns and all kinds of rice balls and snacks, which is really lively.
"Master, look at this!" Lime saw all kinds of lanterns on the stall, including the lantern of a fairy under the moon, which was very realistic and beautiful. Lime was very happy at the moment, and pulled Gu Yu and said, "Master, how similar do you look to this lantern?" ”
The stall owner was also a clever man, and hurriedly flattered Gu Yu a few words.
"This girl is really out of the same way as the fairy under the moon, I think this lantern must be lit by the fairy himself, and the girl is really fateful! Girl, buy one, right? ”
"Good!" Lime didn't wait for Gu Yu to answer, paid directly and took the lantern away.
"Master, let's go to the front and have a look!" Lime said to Gu Yu.
"Good!" Gu Yu walked forward as he agreed, but just a few steps later, he saw an acquaintance.
And that person is the prince he thinks about day and night, Nangong Yu!
Gu Yu just wanted to catch up, but suddenly found that Nangong Yu was holding a lantern in his hand, and there was a stunning beauty beside him. The woman smiled skillfully, talked and laughed with Nangong Yu, and from time to time she was coquettish, and Nangong Yu rubbed her head dotingly. When Gu Yu saw this scene, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
Lime obviously saw it too, she stopped, and looked at Nangong Yu and the stunning beauty in surprise, while Gu Yu's eyes stared straight at Nangong Yu, until they approached, Gu Yu was still stunned.
Nangong Yu also saw Gu Yu, but he quickly shifted his eyes, took the hand of the beautiful woman beside him, and passed by Gu Yu......
"Nangong Yu!" Gu Yu couldn't help but shout!
