Xu Qingqing didn't know that there was such a fuss in the Qingyin Palace, she only heard that Xu Shuhuai seemed to have become a celebrity in front of the queen, and the queen's father, Li Taiwei, has recently become very close to the eldest prince.

"What kind of person is this great prince?" Xu Qingqing asked Zilu.

She had lived in the cold palace for a long time, and she didn't know much about the sons of the new emperor, and she and Lin Xiuyuan, the eldest prince, had only had a two-sided relationship at the banquet.

"I heard that he is a very knowledgeable person, and he has excellent talent and knowledge." Zilu said.

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, what do you think of him?" Xu Qingqing asked again.

Zilu thought for a while: "The Eighth Prince rarely mentions the Great Prince, but ...... But it seems to have said that there is some relationship between the eldest prince and His Royal Highness Prince Hong. ”

Origin?

Xu Qingqing recalled for a moment that at the two banquets, Lin Hongyi and Lin Xiuyuan were indeed not as familiar as brothers.

Now that she thinks about it, not only is there something wrong between these two people, but the meaning of the eighth prince is also quite unpredictable to her.

The new emperor obviously wants to make Lin Xiuyuan the crown prince, even so, why does the eighth prince often come to this Prince Hong's mansion, isn't he afraid of a gap with Lin Xiuyuan?

Xu Qingqing thought about it, but she really didn't understand.

"Niangniang, you frown again," Zilu handed over a cup of red date lotus seed porridge, the porridge was freshly boiled, soft and glutinous, and it was steaming, "Why think too much about some things, just let it be?" ”

Go with the flow?

Xu Qingqing took the porridge and took a sip.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was too appetizing, Zilu sighed: "Niangniang, since you met General Na Yan two days ago, you have been absent-minded......"

"General Yan subdued the soldiers and horses of the former dynasty in Rongjiang for the new emperor, and the Yuan family was suppressed by the new emperor, and Xu Yuanyu can no longer find any backers." Xu Qingqing was thoughtful.

She was reminding Zilu and the Eighth Prince.

Xu Yuyu has not been found, is it possible to make her replace her so much?

"This ......" Zilu's eyes flickered, and this look did not fall into Xu Qingqing's eyes.

"Tell His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince to look for it, the ban will be lifted in the capital soon, if she takes the opportunity to escape, the country of Li is so big, where should she go to find her?" Xu Qingqing said.

Zilu nodded yes.

In a few days, it was time to release the river lanterns, and the moat was full of people watching the excitement.

Xu Qingqing also came to the river with Lin Hongyi, the river surface has long been frozen in winter, the water is murmuring, and the waves are clear.

At night, the lights of thousands of homes are reflected on the surface of the lake, twinkling like stars in the night sky.

Lin Hongyi took Xu Qingqing out very well, and it was rare to come out once, followed by two guards dressed as small servants, and there were many secret guards accompanying him all the way.

"Your Highness travels like this on weekdays?" Xu Qingqing asked.

"If it weren't for you, the 'notorious princess of the former dynasty', by his side, why would this king need to bring so many subordinates?" Lin Hongyi said.

To put it bluntly.

Xu Qingqing glanced at him, this person's side face was half-bright and half-ambiguous in the moonlight, with sharp edges and corners, so good-looking, as if he had come out of a painting.

After a few steps, a pink lantern suddenly fluttered at Xu Qingqing's feet.

One person stepped forward to pick up the lantern, and when he looked up, he saw that it was an acquaintance.

"General Yan?" Lin Hongyi was the first to recognize him.

"His Royal Highness Prince Hong, the princess." Yan Chengque took a step back and bowed.

"It's rare for General Yan to have such a Yaxing and come alone to enjoy the lanterns?" Lin Hongyi's eyes were dark and uncertain.

Yan Chengque patted the dust on the lantern and said, "Yan has not yet married, so he is naturally alone." ”

"I heard that Xi Po almost stepped on the threshold of the General's Mansion, it seems that General Yan is too picky, it is better for this king to be the matchmaker and pull this red line for General Yan." Lin Hongyi said.

It is nothing if it comes out of the mouth of a bystander.

can be matched with Lin Hongyi's always cold face, which is really a bit incredible.

Xu Qingqing glanced at him suspiciously-what kind of medicine did this iceberg take wrong today?

"Don't bother Your Highness, Yan already has a sweetheart." Yan Chengque politely refused.

"Which woman does General Buyan have a crush on?" Lin Hongyi asked.

"It's an old acquaintance of Yan, I thought I would never have a chance to meet again in this life, but I didn't expect to meet in this capital recently." Yan Chengque said.

Xu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

thought that Yan Chengque had recognized her, but unexpectedly, his face was always flat, as if he was not talking about her, but another woman.

"This lantern was given to the general's old acquaintance?" She asked.

Yan Chengque nodded and held the lamp in his hand, as if it was a treasure.

Lin Hongyi's face couldn't see joy or anger.

When Yan Chengque said goodbye and walked away, he said lightly to Xu Qingqing: "Your childhood playmate, it seems that you are not the only old acquaintance. ”

Xu Qingqing was stunned, and her expression became flustered: "You...... What did you say? ”

"This king has already asked someone to check the history of the palace of the former dynasty, and Lord Yan, who served as the prince and concubine, once brought his young son Yan Gang into the palace, and later Yan's family was copied, and Yan Gang was nowhere to be found. If this king is not mistaken, Yan Gang back then is Yan Chengque today. Lin Hongyi said.

Xu Qingqing was speechless for a while.

She knew that Prince Hong's Mansion had always been well-informed, but she didn't expect it to be so well-informed.

"You...... How do you know this? She asked.

"The first time this person saw you, his eyes were very displeasing to this king, and this king naturally wanted to send someone to check on him." Lin Hongyi replied.

said so naturally, Xu Qingqing listened sullenly: "Now that you know, what are you going to do with me, ground, or punish kneeling in the Buddha Hall?" ”

"What are you king, tyrant?" Lin Hongyi's face was a little dark.

There is a murderous aura all over his body, what is it that is not a tyrant? Xu Qingqing felt sorry in her heart.

Lin Hongyi saw through the contempt in her eyes, but she was not annoyed: "Now it seems that this king is suspicious, it seems that this Yan Chengque does not have you in his heart." ”

Yes, there is no such thing as her in my heart......

Xu Qingqing thought that she would be more or less lost, but instead of being lost, she felt relieved.

Maybe some of the past should have passed a long time ago, but now that Yan Chengque has her own sweetheart, this is also a good thing for her.

Yan Chengque returned to the house and gave the lantern to Sun Shitong.

This is the lantern he carefully selected and selected with the most exquisite workmanship, Sun Shitong rarely moved to the house, and he naturally couldn't snub her.

Sun Shitong was really happy when he took the lantern, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he said that he would pick a good time to go to the river to put the lantern and make a wish.

This night, Yan Chengque had a dream.

The woman in the dream smiled sweetly at him, and the woman's face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and she could not see clearly, but it inexplicably made him feel familiar.

When he woke up the next day, he practiced his fists and feet in the courtyard as usual, and the little guy carried a few baskets from the west chamber and threw sundries past the courtyard, Yan Chengque glanced at it inadvertently, and his eyes suddenly froze.

In addition to the damp dead branches and dead leaves, there is also a striking pink color.

That's the lamp he just gave her yesterday.
