It is said that "no Lantern Festival, no New Year", that is to say, the Lantern Festival has not arrived, so it is still in the New Year, and it must be lively. Unfortunately, from ancient times to the present, there are very few holidays from Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival.

Not to mention what happened in later generations, just say that Donglu's holiday was originally from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the new year, but the birthday of the empress dowager of this dynasty was on the fourth day of the new year, and the emperor was filial, so he gave the officials two more days off, and changed it to be from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year. Then, from the sixth day of the first month to the thirteenth day of the first month, it is necessary to go to court and respond to Mao; Then, there will be a Lantern Festival holiday from the 14th to the 16th of the first month.

It's natural for people to be inert. Therefore, the seven days sandwiched between the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival are the most difficult days, most people have no intention of working, even if there is a backlog of affairs to be dealt with, and the efficiency has fallen to the bottom. Unless it is an envoy appointed by the emperor, it will definitely be able to delay and wait until the Lantern Festival is over.

In the past, Murong Chong worked hard, but this year, he deeply realized what it means to "spend the spring night in the Furong tent, and the king will not be early from now on". The affairs of the city defense battalion have been unloaded to Wei Qian, the Huben army has Xu Zhan and others to supervise the drills, and the military department has Shangshu Jiang Xuan to deal with the big and small matters, so he simply took a leave of absence and accompanied Lin Ruo, who has been staying in the hot spring villa, inseparable, pouring tea and painting, so unhappy.

In this way, it was until the Lantern Festival.

If it weren't for Lin Ruo's promise to accompany Lin Qi to spend the Lantern Festival and go to the Lantern Market, Murong Chong would definitely wait until the Lantern Festival was over before returning to the palace. Although the lantern market on Bian'an Fourth Street is lively, there are too many people, and instead of rubbing shoulders with so many people, he prefers to have lanterns all over the hot spring villa and have a Lantern Festival with Lin Ruo that only belongs to the two of them.

Still, that's what he thought.

In previous years, during the Lantern Festival, as long as he was in Beijing, he was responsible for the deployment of the capital; Even if the city defense battalion is handed over to Wei Qian this year, although he is no longer in his position, he will not take it seriously and ignore it completely.

The capital is important, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the matter of public security is not the responsibility of the city defense camp and Jingzhao Mansion, as an important minister of the imperial court, everyone has to take a responsibility and make a contribution.

When he walked to the most lively Dongshi Street and saw the Hu Cake stall under the bridge again, Lin Ruo couldn't help but sigh.

"In January last year, the flower market was lit up like day, and the willows were on the moon, and people were about after dusk. In January this year, the moon and the lights are still the same, and I don't see last year's people, and the sleeves of my spring shirt are wet with tears......"

"Are you thinking about Hee-hee?"

"Well," Lin Ruo nodded, "Last year, before Xijiao wanted to go back to the palace, she begged me to bring her here to buy a few more Hu Biscuits." I knew that she wanted to stay in the light market for a while and stay outside the palace for a while, so I agreed. It was there, at the wonton stall, that while waiting for the cakes, I heard Du Zhen and his classmates talking...... It's only been a year, but the changes are so great that people have to sigh. ”

Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.

At this moment, Du Zhen is already far away in the south of the Yangtze River. The Lantern Festival in Jiangnan is not inferior to the capital, I don't know if the idiot scholar who did not end up with his sweetheart will be on the streets of the lamp market in Jiangnan, silently recalling his encounter with Xiyi.

Lin Qi, who came back from buying hot Hu cakes, saw Lin Ruo's appearance and asked, "Second sister, are you thinking about gratitude?" That's right, last year, we went to the lantern festival together, and this year, Xien followed Brother Li to visit the lantern festival in Jinling. Alas, I miss them so much. However, after the Lantern Festival, they will come back, right? ”

Lin Ruo smiled and nodded: "Yes, on the twentieth return trip of the first month, I can't take the waterway, I can only take the land route, and I will arrive in the capital in early February." ”

Lin Qi snapped his fingers: "That is, there is still half a month left, I will first find Luo Er for recreation, and when Xi'en comes back, I will have a playmate!" ”

So Luo Er is just a substitute?

silently sympathized with Luo Er in his heart, and then naturally left Luo Er behind, took Murong Chong, took Lin Qi, and continued to walk around the lamp market.

It's just that without Li Yan's brain, if you guess the lantern riddle again, your strength will be greatly reduced.

When I got tired of shopping, I didn't turn back to the gluttonous sea, but found a small stall on the street to sit down and taste some special snacks.

It's just that before they finished eating, Murong Chong keenly sensed that something was wrong around him, and sent a palace guard beside him to inquire about the situation.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruo asked puzzled.

"Probably something went wrong, there are twice as many people in the city defense camp on this street as the officials of Jingzhao Mansion."

Lin Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Won't it?" ”

This kind of big day of universal celebration, with thousands of empty alleys and many people, there will indeed be some chaos. But it just happened that they ran into it, which is too disappointing, right?

Lin Ruo glanced at the flow of people, frowned, and said, "It seems that there are a lot of more officers and soldiers." A few of you, protect Xiao Qi. ”

Dongfan, the killer transferred from Jiuxing, is now Lin Qi's personal guard, protecting Lin Qi's safety day and night. Compared to the few personal guards brought out by the Wang's Mansion, it was more than enough, but Lin Ruo still gave an order.

After a while, the guard sent by Murong Chong came back to report the situation, but it seemed that in order not to reveal the identities of their group, the guard whispered to Murong Chong's ear.

Lin Ruo saw Murong Chong's face change suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Murong Chong's face sank like water, and he whispered to Lin Ruo: "Yan Yi is gone." ”

"What!" Lin Ruo almost exclaimed, covered his mouth in time, and replied in a low voice, "How could Yi'er be gone?" What about Ah Heng? How is she doing now? ”

Yan Yi is the child of the sixth princess Jiahui and the concubine Yan Shou, and is now just one and a half years old. The news that the guards found out was that today Yan Shou and Jiahui took their son out to see the lantern, and Jiahui was crowded by someone halfway through, and accidentally broke her foot, so she handed the child over to the nurse. Yan Shou helped Jiahui to go home, and when he reached the place where the carriage was through the flow of people, he found that his son and the nurse had not followed! When I sent someone to look for it again, I only found the nurse who was panicked and lost her face!

At this time, Yan Yi and his wife panicked, and hurriedly found the nearest Jingzhao Mansion official, revealed their identities, and asked them to hurry up.

Yin Yingzong of Jingzhao Mansion and Wei Qian, the commander of the city defense battalion, quickly got the news and immediately sent additional people to find - this lost child is the grandson of Emperor Mingzong! There was such a big mistake, if they didn't get the child back, they would not be able to pay well!

Lin Ruo understood what was going on, and immediately made a decision, arranging for Leng Shu to take two guards to send Lin Qi home first, and instructed Leng Shu to go to Yun Yi's residence after Lin Qi returned home safely, and she went to Jingzhao Mansion immediately. Losing the child, Jiahui must be crazy!

Murong hurriedly grabbed Lin Ruo and said, "I'll go with you." ”
