Chapter Twenty-Three: Encounter

Jiang Xi pretended to be sick and fell asleep for a long time, if it weren't for the maid in the same room who bumped into the porcelain bottle while cleaning up and woke her up, maybe she would have been able to sleep until the next day.

She curled up in the quilt and asked the maidservant, "What are you doing packing your baggage?" ”

"Woke you up?"

The maidservant smiled embarrassedly and continued to answer: "Your Highness's grace today, the Lantern Festival allows everyone in the palace to go out to visit relatives and play. ”

There is such a good thing!

Jiang Xi lifted the quilt, and after repeatedly confirming to her with an excited face, he jumped out of bed to get dressed and prepared some broken silver, and ran towards the main gate in a hurry. As soon as I arrived at the door, I found that the guards were arguing with people, and there was a faint sound of a woman crying, which sounded a little familiar.

She looked over and found that the person who was wiping her tears turned out to be Yueci.

Yueci wanted to enter the palace gate, but she was not recognized by the guards as a maid ring bought by the prince halfway, and felt that she had other intentions. is so deadlocked with each other, but Xiao Siyu is not here today. Thinking that he had deceived her halfway, Jiang Xi felt guilty in his heart and walked up to stop the guard from drawing his sword, and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" This is indeed a ring that His Highness bought halfway, and I can testify to it. ”

She briefly explained the reason, and Jiang Xi has been very close to Xiao Siyu recently, and it is the big celebrity in front of her, and the guards with her packing tickets will no longer pursue it.

"Sister, how can you lie to me." Yueci was happy to see her again, and complained that Jiang Xi did not say goodbye in the teahouse that day. Jiang Xi was at fault, and she didn't find a reason, so she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "The situation forced me to go back to Jingyang first because of the situation, but it was really me who was wrong." In this way, tonight, His Highness allows people to leave the house, and I will take you to the streets to take a stroll to see what the lantern festival in the imperial city is like. ”

Yueci took her hand, "You won't trick me again?" ”

"I swear!"

Jiang Xi raised her finger and swore that she nodded with peace of mind, but she never let go of Jiang Xi's hand on the way to the street, lest she let go of the person and slip away.

Jingyang's Lantern Festival, Jiang Xi is also the first time to see it. Before nightfall, the streets are already full of dazzling lanterns, and the shops have been closed for a long time, each putting on the latest gadgets for people to buy. Talented and beautiful women meet on the arch bridge to admire the moon, and men, women and children gather on the riverside to put lights and send messages.

In the hustle and bustle of the streets, from time to time there are children holding candy figures and laughing and playing and shuttling by. Surrounded by tourists, the entertainers on the edge of the open space are sweating and performing.

"It's so lively!"

Yueci watched the fire show, clapping her hands and applauding, excited like a child.

Jiang Xi caught a stall selling masks and asked for two masks. She pretended to be sick and released Xiao Siyu's pigeon, if she met her on the street, it would be tantamount to deception.

"Two pennies."

The vendor quoted the price, Jiang Xi lowered his head and dug out two copper plates in his purse for him, and touched his waist again to find that the amulet given by his younger brother was missing. She was in a hurry, and hurriedly turned back to look for it, and found that the small sachet with the amulet was lying on the ground and was kicked around by pedestrians.

So repeatedly, she always told her to pounce in the air.

"Don't run!"

She was so angry that the sachet was finally trampled on by a pair of white boots. The man seemed to realize that he had stepped on something, and stepped back, bending down to pick it up, "Girl's thing?" ”

The man's voice is moving, like warm jade entering the water, deep and moist.

He is dressed simply, but the quality of his clothes is not bad, and his stature is extremely high, which is comparable to Xiao Siyu, but unfortunately he is wearing a mask on his face, and he can't see if he can compete with Xiao Siyu in appearance.

"It's mine, thank you, Childe."

Jiang Xi withdrew his mind from him, took the sachet and bowed down to thank him. Just as the competition to win the lantern was going on, someone in the crowd shouted, and the crowd that had been walking slowly on the street suddenly ran forward in a large way. Jiang Xi was knocked backwards and fell backwards, and seeing that he was about to fall on the oil pan of the fried pancakes, the man quickly stepped over, and his long arms were wrapped around her waist, pulling the person away from danger.

Because of this action, the string of the mask on the man's face was loosened, and the mask fell suddenly.

Xiao Siyu is the most good-looking man after Jiang Xi came to Jingyang, and the man in front of him, with long eyebrows and starry eyes and a straight nose, is even more different.

His complexion is not as white as Xiao Siyu's, it is a good-looking pale honey color, and he looks very healthy.

If Xiao Siyu's beauty is aggressive, then he is a gentle and thornless soft jade. Jiang Xi was obsessed with watching it for a while, and his heart was beating involuntarily.

"Offended." After the man straightened her, he bowed his head apologetically.

Jiang Xi shook his head in a daze, and turned away after seeing the man smile, until he disappeared into the crowd of lights. In the end, it was Yueci who broke free from the crowd and grabbed her, so that she came back to her senses.

"Sister, what are you doing in a daze?"

Yueci shook her hand in front of her eyes, Jiang Xi grabbed her hand, and jumped up excitedly: "Did you see it just now?" What a handsome son! ”

Yueci glanced around a few times, shook her head, opened her mouth and was about to speak, when a deep male voice took the lead, "Jun Gongzi didn't see it, but he saw a lying dog minion." ”
