From the 14th to the 16th of the first month, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Chang'an City has no curfew and is brightly lit for three nights.

Xie Ying changed into red clothes, and she was still the delicate lady of the Xie family. Even though everything was in order, Xie Ying still stood in front of the bronze mirror and watched it for a long time.

Hongying urged: "The lady has turned around several times!" ”

She immediately looked back at her and snorted, "You know what! ”

"Of course the maid doesn't understand," Hongying walked up with a smile, "These days, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the five kings are going to take the lady to the Lantern Festival." ”

Hongye stared at her helplessly, and then took Xie Ying's dagger and tied it to Xie Ying's arm.

"The lady is outside, let's be careful."

Xie Ying nodded, her body swayed from time to time, and Hongying hurriedly smacked her lips, "The lady is in a hurry now!" ”

"Hongying, you've been getting more and more presumptuous lately!" Saying that, Xie Ying gently patted her forehead with her empty hand, and Hongying quickly stuck out her tongue.

Hongye also gave her a help this time, "If the lady doesn't move, the maid can be tied faster." ”

Xie Ying glanced at it, immediately put down her sleeves, glanced at the two of them, and quickly stepped out of the Huanhua Hall.

Out of the Northwest Hou Mansion, the sky has been painted with a deep blue, today there is no cloud, only a full moon, but under the bright lights everywhere on Chang'an Street, it is also dimmed.

At that time, Xiao Ke was still entangled in the affairs of the six departments, and Li Chun waited outside the gate of the Northwest Hou Mansion.

"Where's the fifth brother?" Xie Ying looked left and right.

Li Chun explained slightly, "There is something suddenly in the Ministry of Rites, it is still early at the moment, do you have to wait?" Looking a little embarrassed, Xie Ying nodded calmly, since the fifth brother had come to this point, she could understand.

"General Li Chun, you tell the fifth brother that I will go to Qujiangchi and meet in the open space where I wrote poems in the spring."

After speaking, Xie Ying took the red leaves and red tassels to Dongshi first, and then turned to Qujiang Pond.

She had never walked on Chang'an Avenue like she did today. In the past, when she was in Liangzhou City, she often took the red leaves and red tassels to walk around.

As they walked, the three of them looked at the roadside, sometimes placing burdens, or pastries or dried fruits. Xie Ying and Hongying only had to look at each other, and Hongye could only take out the prepared copper plate and hand it to the businessman.

"Lady, there's someone painting lanterns there!"

Along the way, they also saw that the little ladies walking on the road would carry their own lamps, either small and delicate, or magnificent; There are paintings and embroidery, which makes people dizzy!

"Let's go draw too!" Xie Ying was eager to try, and the two of them went forward like snakes, standing in front of the stall quickly.

It was an old man who was holding his long hair while smiling, "What do the two little ladies want to draw?" These are painted zodiacs, or flower lanterns, and if the lady wants anything else, I can also paint. ”

Hongying glanced at the stall, and then looked at Xie Ying excitedly, "Lady, let's draw a beauty lantern!" ”

Xie Ying snorted lightly, "I want the general to wait, the female general's lamp!" ”

Frowning slightly, she looked at the father-in-law. The old man nodded with a smile, "I can draw!" ”

She was watching her husband write intently, and a person approached at some point, and whispered in her ear: "Female general, I will also return to painting." ”

Xie Ying immediately stood up and took two steps back to Hongying's side, "Hongye gives money." ”

"Little lady, do you still want this painting?" The old man looked at the eyes, and he was a little apprehensive for some reason.

She still smiled at her father-in-law, and offered the front in Hongye's hand in person, "I have an appointment with someone, and it's too late to calculate the time, this is the money for the painting." ”

The old man was a little embarrassed, and glanced to the side, "I didn't paint the lady, so the lady should choose a lamp!" ”

Xie Ying shook her head slightly, "It's cold today, it's not easy for my father-in-law to paint, wait for the stall to be closed, and eat a bowl of hot soup cakes with them in the workshop!" ”

The old man looked at the smile on Xie Ying's little lady's face, and his heart was also warm, so he took it with trembling hands.

And Xie Ying, who finished speaking, immediately glanced at Murong Ji, who was silent on his side, and warned him not to appear.

Murong Yu was slightly stunned, and the emotion in Xie Ying's eyes could become cold in an instant. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xie Ying taking her two maidservants to Qujiang Pond.

The old man called Murong Ji, "Does this Lang Jun want a lamp?" ”

He glanced at it, then picked up a plum blossom lamp, "That's it!" "Put the money down, he's still going to catch up.

Red plum, Xie Ying is like a red plum in his eyes, blooming warmly, but very cold.

"Lady, King Murong is following again!" Hongying whispered, looking at the pastries in her hands, she felt that it was not fragrant, why did this person always linger.

Xie Ying only needed to glance at Hongye, and Hongye immediately turned around and said respectfully: "King Murong, our lady doesn't want to see you, please stay." ”

Murong Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, "This road goes to Qujiangchi, she can't walk me?" ”

"Momiji, ignore him." Xie Ying's pace is getting faster and faster.

Murong Ji immediately walked behind her and said with a smile: "Xie Niangzi is so coincidental!" ”

His tone was just right to make the people on the road look twice, Xie Ying had to slow down her pace, Murong Jian took advantage of her to slow down a few steps and immediately followed, and whispered, "Xie Ying, I have something to say to you." ”

"I have nothing to say to you." She coldly refused.

Murong Ji didn't care and continued: "I know that you and King Chen will meet for the Lantern Festival today. ”

Xie Ying looked straight ahead, "Since you know, King Murong shouldn't have appeared to spoil my interest." ”

He blinked and laughed, "Don't you want to know why King Chen couldn't show up in time?" ”

"You did it." Xie Ying's tone was not surprised, and it was not difficult to guess that there were three divisions in the Ministry of Etiquette, and the only one who had anything to do with Murong Ji was the Foreign Guest Division.

"If I don't let him go, how can I see you alone?" Murong Ji smiled lightly.

In the blink of an eye, he staggered, and he looked at Xie Ying holding a dagger in his backhand, and his face was reflected at the end of the dagger.

Murong Ji's eyes did not forget to show surprise.

Today, he rarely saw Xie Ying, who passed on a narrow sleeve and thin skirt, and she was more delicate than she wore a round-necked robe in the past. I didn't expect her to hide the dagger in her arm.

"There are so many people today that I don't want to do it." Her eyes lowered and fell on the dagger.

He took a deep breath, "It's not a big deal, it's enough for me to talk to you." ”

Xie Ying still raised her arm, not slackening, "I said, I have nothing to say to you." ”

"Don't you want to know why I'm going to do it to the martial arts?" The tip of the square knife was in her sleeve, and he leaned directly into it.

Murong Jian immediately felt a woody fragrance coming from his cuffs, is Xie Ying like this?

Xie Ying frowned and looked at him with his eyes closed and still a little intoxicated, and disgust arose in his heart. Collecting the dagger, she continued on her way.

He continued to follow. When Qu Jiangchi was close at hand, he suddenly pushed the red leaf and red tassel away, "Grab Xie Ying's dagger arm and go forward."

"Lady!"

"Murong Ji, what are you going to do!"
