Chapter 18: The Lantern Trap

"Miss, you see someone performing in front of you." Bai Tao shouted excitedly.

Bai Xiyue also saw the surging heads in front of her, and the surroundings were also very lively, thinking that it would be difficult to get out once, so she let Bai Tao pull her towards the performance room.

Miss, White Peach, you wait for me! Bai Shuang was left behind with Bai Ze in her arms, she hurriedly walked forward, this lantern will be very crowded, in case it gets lost, it will not be good.

Bai Xiyue, who finally squeezed to the front, found that it was a group of folk artists, performing some difficult juggling, and everyone was wearing an aborigines-style mask on their faces, but even if they didn't see their faces clearly, they were very elegant and chic just by looking at their figures, and when she turned her head to discuss with Bai Tao which man was more handsome, she found that Bai Tao was gone.

Bai Xiyue immediately looked around, but still didn't find the figures of Bai Tao and Bai Shuang, she instantly became vigilant, observing the suspicious figure, but there were more and more people around, she was pushed and moved in another direction, and gradually moved away from the juggling place.

After breaking free from the crowd, Bai Xiyue realized that the surrounding scenery was unfamiliar. It's happening now, without Bai Ze, how can I go back. Bai Xiyue was secretly annoyed, she knew that she should hold Bai Ze by herself, even if she lost it, at least she could go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the crowd, several people gradually approached Bai Xiyue, and one of them quickly ran to the attic to notify someone.

"Miss Bai, long time no see!" Gu Jiuxiao appeared in front of Bai Xiyue on time, he had been paying attention to her movements, and after seeing that person successfully lured her out, he quietly appeared on the stage.

"Second prince," Bai Xiyue became vigilant, he didn't know the details of this man, and he rejected several posts from him a few days ago, how could he appear here at this time.

"Just call me Nine Sons outside! Why did Miss Bai come to the Lantern Festival alone. Gu Jiuxiao deliberately ignored her sudden vigilance and vigilance, and still asked gently.

"There are too many people, and I have been separated from my handmaiden." Bai Xiyue truthfully replied that most of the contacts between people are beneficial, but she wants to see a second prince and want to get some benefits from her.

"In this way, why don't I send Miss Bai to the Moon Shadow Building in front, people who come to visit the Lantern Festival will pass by there, and it will be convenient to find your maidservant." Gu Jiuxiao proposed.

Bai Xiyue thought about it, it seemed that he had passed through a place called Moon Shadow Building just now, there were many people outside, and he thought that these two princes would not do anything unfavorable to him, if he really did it, it would not be too late to leave when the time came.

"Then it's going to be troublesome for the Ninth Prince." Bai Xiyue replied softly, and at the same time, she also pretended to relax her vigilance.

Gu Jiuxiao walked side by side with her, chatting with her from time to time, Bai Xiyue also replied without a match, looking at the two from a distance, those who didn't know would think that they were a pair of fairy couples.

Just chatted awkwardly all the way, when the two arrived at the Moon Shadow Building, it was even more lively, there was a group of young ladies around a stage to play a game of guessing lantern riddles, and won the first-class lanterns of this year, which was a good opportunity to show in front of their beloved, and many people were eager to try.

"Miss Bai, are you interested in having fun?" Gu Jiuxiao pointed to the place in front of him and guessed the lantern riddle and said.

"The little girl is stupid, I'm afraid I can't guess." Bai Xiyue replied in a low voice.

Gu Jiuxiao laughed heartily, "Yes, that just gave me a chance to show." ”

It was very ambiguous for him to say this, everyone in Yuancheng knew that sending flower lanterns was a way to express love, he said it so bluntly, did he want to use a beautiful man's trick, or did he think too much.

Bai Xiyue didn't answer, and watched Gu Jiuxiao come onto the stage.

Soon, a person who looked like a shopkeeper walked out and said to the audience, "We are still the same as in previous years, whoever guesses the five lantern riddles the fastest and most correctly will get the number one lantern of our Moon Shadow Building this year." ”

There are five rows of lanterns on the table, the difficulty increases in turn, the last row of lanterns stands at the timekeeper, who can guess the five lantern riddles quickly and accurately, you can get today's limited lanterns for free, and others can only buy them with silver.

"Now, I announce that guessing the lantern riddle has officially begun." As he spoke, the shopkeeper rang the gong next to him, and after a crisp sound, the people on the stage stood in front of their lanterns and got busy, and the tense atmosphere also affected the people in the audience.

Bai Xiyue was in no mood to pay attention to Gu Jiuxiao. I just want to find Bai Tao and Shuang quickly, she has been observing the pedestrians coming and going, trying to find a familiar figure, but instead of finding Bai Tao Baishuang, she saw Zuo Yuer, how can she meet her wherever she goes, it is really a narrow road.

Zuo Yuer also discovered Bai Xiyue, after all, her temperament is still very obvious in the crowd, plus Zuo Yuer hates her to the core, so she naturally pays attention to her at a glance.

"Bai Xiyue, you finally came out, what's the matter, don't you be a shrunken turtle at home, did you push me into the water that day." Zuo Yuer came over angrily and questioned Bai Xiyue, after she woke up that day, she went to Baifu, but was driven out by the family there, and she didn't even see Bai Xiyue's hair for a few days.

It was not easy to come out to relax, and when she met her here, Zuo Yuer's anger came up all of a sudden.

"What is my sister talking about. My sister doesn't understand! Bai Xiyue said with an innocent face, you can't go head-to-head with people like Zuo Yu'er, especially in this kind of place where there are many people, the effect will be good if you are in a weak position, and she has already pretended to be a white lotus.

"You are still pretending," Zuo Yu'er saw that she looked like a victim, and instantly became angry, and immediately reached out and hit her.

Bai Xiyue's expression was grim, she hid sideways, and then said aggrievedly: "My sister fell into the lotus pond that day, and I was watched by people in disheveled clothes, but my sister didn't say it, why did you hold me hard."

Bai Xiyue's voice was very loud, and there were a lot of people in the audience. Naturally, it attracted the attention of the people around him, and when he heard that everyone in the lotus pond looked over and talked about it.

"Look, isn't that Zuo Yu'er, I heard that she fell into the lotus pond at the banquet she held, how can she still have a face."

"It's not a big deal to fall into the lotus pond, why can't you come out." An unsuspecting passerby asked.

"Hey, you see you can't eat hot melons."

"I'll tell, I'll say," one of them volunteered to answer the man's questions.

"It wasn't a big deal to fall into the pond, but ah, when she was fished up, her clothes were so wide open that even her belly pocket leaked out."

"Really." The woman asked, surprised.

"That's not it, it's also seen by the second prince and this year's new champion."

"Oh my God, then how embarrassed is she to come out, if it were me, it would be really shameless." The other chimed in.

"Maybe they did it on purpose, in order to attract the attention of the second prince."

The three of them talked loudly in front of Zuo Yu'er. Everyone else pointed fingers at her.

Zuo Yu'er listened to the discussion around her, blushed angrily, and scolded loudly: "What do you Diao people know, it is obvious that she pushed Miss Ben down."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, but they didn't believe Zuo Yu'er's words.

Yigongzi shook his head and said, "You see that girl is so delicate, how can she push you."

Others also chimed in, after all, judging from her appearance, Bai Xiyue did look like a weak little girl, coupled with her quiet appearance, it formed a strong contrast with Zuo Yu'er's mania, and it was difficult for everyone to believe her words.

"You ,,," Zuo Yu'er's face was distorted and she couldn't speak.

Bai Xiyue watched the scene of this large-scale cyberbullying from the sidelines, and had no idea of relieving Zuo Yuer at all, this bit of language hurt was nothing compared to the assassination of Prime Minister Bai by their father and daughter.

"Bang!" At this time, the referee rang the gong, and the riddle guessing was over, and the boy was congratulated on winning the jackpot.

Gu Jiuxiao was standing on the stage at this time, holding this year's lantern from the Moon Shadow Building in his hand, which was in the shape of a lotus flower, which looked exactly the same as the one in Bai Xiyue's hand.

Bai Xiyue looked at the lantern, and suddenly understood something, and her face instantly turned cold.

"Oh my God! This son is so handsome, I don't know if he is married. A woman in the audience exclaimed.

"If you're not married, that's mine." Not to be outdone, the other woman was not to be outdone.

Gu Jiuxiao's appearance obviously poked the hearts of the girls in the audience.

"Don't think about it, when people take lanterns, they must give them to their beloved women."

Gu Jiuxiao had already walked over at this time, and Zuo Yu'er naturally fell in love with the appearance of the second prince, and when she saw him walking towards her at this moment, her heart was beating faster, and her face was ruddy.

Daddy said that the second prince intended to befriend him, so did he want to give this lantern to himself, thinking like this, Zuo Yu'er couldn't help but be happy on her face.

"Miss Bai, this lantern is for you." Gu Jiuxiao walked up to Bai Xiyue and said.

This, how is this possible, Zuo Yuer naturally can't accept the shattering of her dreams.

Hurriedly said: "Second prince, this lantern, you are going to give it to this sick seedling."

"Second prince, oh my God, this is the second prince, no wonder he looks like such an immortal." The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Jiuxiao frowned and looked at Zuo Yu'er in disgust, "You have an opinion." He has little interest in this kind of mindless woman.

"I," Zuo Yu'er naturally couldn't say that she should give this sentence to herself.

But she was still unwilling to slander Bai Xiyue: "The second prince should not be deceived by the sick seedling, she is not only sick, but her appearance is extremely ugly."

Now the people around also knew who the veiled woman was.

Yuancheng is so big, as soon as these words come out, you can know that person is the daughter of Prime Minister Bai.

Bai Xiyue already knew Gu Jiuxiao's intentions, her face became more and more ugly, and she said in a serious tone: "Flower lanterns, the second prince should keep them for himself."

"Miss, the slave has finally found you." Seeing that this place was so lively, Bai Tao and Bai Shuang originally wanted to find out the whereabouts of their young lady, but they saw Bai Xiyue surrounded in the middle at a glance.

Bai Xiyue also saw Bai Tao and Bai Shuang, now that she has found someone, there is no need for her to stay here. Then he turned and left.

Gu Jiuxiao still wanted to say something, the figure had already gone away, he naturally didn't catch up, today's things were enough, she had no use value.
