Chapter 2 : Shangyuan-2

My father and brother always said that I didn't look like a girl at all.

Other people's famous ladies are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I hate these the most, and there is always no fun and excitement in dancing knives and guns.

But my father always told me that my mother was a dignified and beautiful woman with both talents and appearances, especially good at playing the piano. And I heard that Han E sang in Yongmen, and her singing voice lingered for three days, and when my father talked about her mother, he praised her piano skills far above Han E's singing.

Whenever this happens, pride and pride always appear on my father's and my father's faces. Unfortunately, my mother passed away when I was just over a year old, and I can't remember her.

My father and brother always wanted me to be as gentle and virtuous as my mother, and although they were military generals, they did not allow me to wield knives and guns, and they specially sought a famous teacher to teach me etiquette. And I always lost interest in learning a little, and the gentlemen complained to my father, lamenting that my wisdom was not used in the right way, but I did not care about it, and was happy all the time.

During the Shangyuan Festival, in early spring, the weather is still a little cold, and the night always comes relatively quickly.

I waited with Yuebai for a while, and it was dark. The retainers in the courtyard lit torches one after another, and their momentum was like the battle of the prison of the country.

"Humph! What a prisoner Miss Ben is! "Yuebai and I leaned on the window and peeked into the courtyard.

Yuebai had already changed into my clothes at this time, she still looked a little flustered, I patted her shoulder and comforted: "Oops~ Think about the hibiscus cake and wick cake, and you won't be afraid." ”

Yuebai twisted the corners of her clothes, as if she was going to complain about something, I didn't let her speak anymore, turned around and shouted outside the courtyard: "You have lit the courtyard so brightly, and you don't let Miss Ben sleep!" Extinguish all the fires for me! ”

The retainers in the courtyard looked at each other, and one of them, who looked like a consul, stepped forward and replied to me: "Miss, we are ordered to protect your safety, the general said, tonight's Shangyuan Festival, I am afraid that many idle people outside the city will take advantage of the lantern festival to sneak into Shangjing, and send us to protect you." ”

Hmph, what a high-sounding reason!

"But now that I'm going to rest, the fire in the courtyard is so dazzling that I can't sleep. My brother ordered you to protect me, but did you ever say that I would not be allowed to go to bed early? ”

I have always been strange and unpredictable, and my retainers did not dare to annoy me, so they hesitated for a moment to extinguish the torches one by one.

Yuebai was secretly surprised: "Miss! It's done! ”

Although I was proud in my heart, I also knew how to control my emotions: "Then next, I will leave it to you!" ”

I slid from the front window to the side window, there were not many guards there, and with a little attention I could successfully climb into the yard.

When Yuebai saw that I had managed to turn it out, she lit the candles on the dressing table as originally planned to attract the attention of the guards in the courtyard. She pretended that I was getting up to drink water. The candles were placed so cleverly that the guards could see what the people inside were doing, and they all mistakenly thought I was still in the room.

I crept along the wall to the door, and Yuebai walked around the room, and the eyes of the guards in the courtyard were on her, not noticing me at all.

When I was about to push open the courtyard door and slip away, the old wooden door made a creaking sound, and the guard heard the sound and quickly looked over to me.

I turned my back to them, startled, and began to sweat behind me, but I quickly calmed down.

I shook off the folding fan to cover my face, intentionally or unintentionally, turned around, and stood on the steps. There was no fire in the courtyard, and my dress should not be much different from my brother's in their eyes.

I coughed lightly twice and lowered my voice: "What are you all doing for food!" Is this how you look at Miss! I found out when I was admitted to the hospital! ”

When I saw this scene, I secretly rejoiced in my heart, and it seemed that I could pretend to be my brother and be real.

I didn't linger any longer, but after a few more words, I pretended to be angry and walked away, kicking the wooden door hard before leaving. If you don't fight for something, I'll unload you and burn it as firewood when I come back!

The guards behind me said "Congratulations to the general" to indicate that I had successfully escaped, and after leaving my courtyard, there were not many guards in the house, so I quickly slipped out of the back door of the firewood house and went straight to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
