In recent days, the weather has been very good, and there are many new flowers in the courtyard of the Yuexia Palace, and a couch is placed in the middle.

"I heard that in a few days it will be your mother's death day, and this palace has brought a few scriptures from Yong'an Temple this time, you can take them and copy some, and then I can burn some for your mother." As the queen spoke, Mama Gui on the side took some scriptures in her hand and handed them to Xia Xiaoxiao.

said that it was some, but the book was about half a foot high in front of Xia Xiaoxiao, and he accepted it stubbornly: "Thank you." ”

This one is enough for her to copy for a day and a night, and after copying seven or eight copies, it is estimated that her life is almost gone.

"By the way, your mother, when you were there?" The queen leaned on the couch and asked casually.

"When I was six years old." Xia Xiaoxiao replied honestly.

The queen nodded slightly, did not speak again, closed her eyes and continued to recuperate.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know why she suddenly asked about this, and she was still concerned about her mother's death.

In my memory, my mother and the old fox have only met once, it was the second year that the old fox entered the palace, the old fox had just been sealed, and their whole family entered the palace for a banquet before they met by chance, if it weren't for this conversation today, I'm afraid Xia Xiaoxiao would have forgotten all the memories of those childhoods, now think about it, it seems that he didn't see Beigong Yu when he entered the palace, right?

I guess I've never seen it.

"Xiao'er." Suddenly, the queen called out to her again, still with her eyes closed.

"The son is here."

"Do you know what is the reason why a woman can spend her life and choose to stay in this dark palace?"

This was the first time in Xia Xiaoxiao in the past few years that she had heard the old fox ask such a question in such a tone. She raised her eyes, she hadn't seen her for a while, she actually saw two strands of white hair between the queen's sideburns, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer this question, but she felt that the answer was nothing more than those two, hesitated for a moment, and said as she thought: "Someone, for the endless glory and wealth, there are probably people, it's for that person." ”

"Perhaps, Your Majesty...... It's been a long time since I've been to this palace. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao sighed lightly when she heard her, as if the whole person was exhausted, the queen waved her hand, glanced at her and closed it again, "You go back, don't come to the Queen Mother in the future, this Yuexia Palace, this palace doesn't want the prince to be prejudiced against you because of this palace." ”

"Queen Mother......" Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, the old fox meant that she didn't have to appear in front of her again?

Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to say something more, but Mama Gui came over and stood in front of her, "The crown princess will go back, the queen is also for your good." ”

For her sake, although she said this, she couldn't figure out why the old fox suddenly changed her attitude, so that she was defenseless.

The old fox just came back from Yong'an Temple a few days ago, she only remembered to run over to see her today, but she lost some weight, but she never thought that the old fox wanted to break off the relationship with her? Although they don't have anything to do with each other.

Could it be that Beigong Ji privately crossed arms to Nanming Guo was known to her, and she didn't want to bother her?

Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head, she had always felt that the old fox must have some purpose for her, could it really be that she was too careful? In fact, I have misunderstood her all along?

Xia Xiaoxiao walked on the road of Huichen Xiao Palace with the few scriptures given to her by the old fox in her arms, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something seemed to be wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, and from time to time, there were two more figures walking towards her at the corner in front of her.

When she got closer, she recognized that it was Beigong Ji and Beigong Pheasant, and she frowned.

The road is along the Yuexia Palace, I glanced at Beigong Pheasant, I didn't expect that there were rumors that these two people were the same is true, but she almost felt that Beigong Pheasant was not bad before, looking at this and Beigong Ji's appearance, eighty percent is not a good thing.

"Two princes."

Xia Xiaoxiao nodded at them, Beigong Ji and Beigong Pheasant Li also nodded and signaled, and they didn't talk to each other much, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at Beigong Pheasant Li, the two just collided with each other, he smiled at her, Xia Xiaoxiao frowned, and suddenly couldn't get used to his appearance in front of people and behind him, and said a few polite words and continued to go in the direction of Chenxiao Palace without looking back, turning the intersection and disappearing in their sight.

Xia Xiaoxiao's expression fell on Beigong Ji's eyes before, and her eyes followed her back as she left, and sneered: "It's just that Beigong Yu has given her some good looks in the past two days, so she really thinks she is a green onion." ”

Beigong Pheasant Li looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's back and squinted slightly, "She and the prince are husband and wife, what does the fifth brother mean by this?" ”

Beigong Ji looked at him strangely, and said, "Also, how can you know that you left the palace early and just came back soon?" ”

said, it was rare for him to explain without bothering, "Xia Xiaoxiao only entered the palace three years ago, and at the behest of her mother, she Xia Xiaoxiao picked up a cheap seat and sat in the position of the crown princess, but it is a pity that although she entered the palace gate, the person in Beigong Yu's heart is not her after all, and her status as the crown princess in Chenxiao Palace in the past three years is not even as good as a palace maid." Also, Beigong Yu is a normal man, if he hadn't been ordered by the emperor, who would marry Xia Xiaoxiao's woman? ”

Beigong Ji Sensen laughed, "But do you know what is the most ironic? If Xia Xiaoxiao really has no love for Beigong Yu, it would be okay, but it is said that in the year she entered the palace, a hunting meeting was held in the Gaogang Forest of the Royal Hunting Ground, but no one expected that the hunting meeting turned out to be Xia Xiaoxiao's arrival, and Beigong Yu won a complete victory at that time, and Xia Xiaoxiao fell in love with Beigong Yu at first sight! ”

Beigong Pheasant left his body as if he was trembling in the wind, and Beigong Ji laughed as if no one was around, "You say it's ridiculous?" Maybe she knew how happy she would be when she was going to marry Beigong Yu, but the reality was that on the day of marriage, Beigong Yu didn't even step into her door! ”

Around the corner, the dusty corner of the garment vanished.

———————————— dividing line————————————

It has entered the late summer, the wind is blowing with heat, the night falls, the brilliance of the stars falls on the bluestone road, the palace lamp in Xia Xiaoxiao's hand is obviously swayed by the wind, and the candlelight casts a little spot of light on the ground.

Came to the Imperial Hospital and found Imperial Doctor Li and handed him the prescription, while waiting for the medicine boringly, he began to scold Beigong Yu again, according to Beigong Yu's mental strength in the past few days, his injuries are almost better, but she has to let her come over every other night to grab the medicine for him, and the next day he has to personally send it to him, and at this time, his little pet Lu Wuxian is not in the palace, otherwise this kind of thing will not bother her!

"Niangniang, the medicine is all right."

"I'm tired of Master Li." Xia Xiaoxiao put down the herbs he was sniffing in his hand, took the medicine handed over by Imperial Physician Li, weighed it casually, turned around and left, the strong smell of herbs here in the Tai Hospital was enough to choke.

The lantern glowed brightly in his hand, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the sky while walking, and suddenly sighed: "Hey, I don't know when this hard day will be a head." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head and a figure stood not far from her.

She was stunned, the light in the lantern could only hit the man's feet, a pair of white auspicious cloud dark pattern boots, a little familiar.

She took two more steps forward, and the firelight gradually revealed the figure hidden in the darkness, flanked by the two-foot high palace wall, and the firelight stretched the shadow of the person to a long age.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't move forward, and the light only reached his white collar, and he didn't see his face clearly, but just like that, Xia Xiaoxiao could guess who the person in front of him was, and now she could only beg God in her heart not to let Beigong Yu hear what she just said.

Except for the lantern in her hand, it was dark all around, especially when she could clearly feel that Beigong Yu's eyes hidden in the dark were staring at her at this time, Xia Xiaoxiao was a little weak, and coughed dryly, "Why is Your Highness here so late?" Could it be that like the concubine, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and came out to count the moon? Haha, the concubine is talking nonsense to the stars, this ......"

Suddenly, the figure in front of her flickered, but in the blink of an eye, the person in front of her flashed to a distance of less than a foot from her, and his face was terrifyingly pale.

"Your Highness, ......" Xia Xiaoxiao reached out and wanted to touch his head, but he grabbed it in his hand halfway.

"Didn't your wound crack open? Why is your face so ugly? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, but saw that he was just staring at himself all the time, holding one hand by him, and holding medicine and lanterns in the other, and he couldn't make a move to test it again.

I didn't know that his hand was forceful, and Xia Xiaoxiao was painful, "You, you let go first...... If the wound does open, I'll help you......"

"Why ......"

"Huh?" Xia Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at him inexplicably, only to see that those eyes were a little different from Beigong Yu from usual, and couldn't help but be stunned, "What, why?" You, you let go of my hand first, it hurts......"

He asked, the force in his hand getting heavier. "Why does it have to be ...... that day?"

He stared at her face and approached her step by step, Xia Xiaoxiao was confused by his question, he took a step closer, and she struggled to take a step back, "What are you going to say?" How do I know what day you are talking about? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was about to cry in pain, she pulled his hand hard and kept letting him go in her mouth, the Beigong Yu was so strong, "Is there anything to say?" Can you let go of me first and say no? ”

The lantern and medicine fell to the ground, and when the wind blew, the only light in the night was extinguished, and Xia Xiaoxiao's heart was in vain.

"...... three years ago"

His deep voice rang out in his ears with the sound of the wind.

"Hmm......"

Beigong Yu pushed her to the wall, his left hand was still holding her wrist, he lowered his head, Xia Xiaoxiao could only see his slightly reflective eyes at night, his eyes never left her face from the beginning, Xia Xiaoxiao was in pain, but he didn't dare to scream.

He frowned and lowered his head, as if holding back something.

"Why, why...... It has to be you......"

When she said this, a warm breath spat on the corner of Xia Xiaoxiao's mouth and stopped in front of her lips.

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned and didn't know what he was talking about, just when she thought he was really going to kiss down, the person in front of her suddenly let go of her and took a step back, widening the distance between the two, her face was immersed in the night, she glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, turned around and jumped over the red wall and disappeared into the darkness......

This man comes and goes as fast as he comes.

Xia Xiaoxiao's hand tightened hard, stared at the direction he disappeared for a long time, rubbed his shoulders and walked back to pick up the lights that had gone out, "A big man doesn't know how to be gentle with people, isn't it really burned out of his brain?" ”

"Boom"

Xia Xiaoxiao looked up, and the white-haired bun came out from behind the grass in front of her, and her green eyes stared at her with a pale light.

But at this time, how did the buns appear here?

Hurriedly returned to the Dusk Pavilion with the buns, Qingyue was pouring out the hot water prepared for her, Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly put down the buns and the medicinal herbs in her hand, "Qingyue, why did you pour the hot water?" Didn't Hongu say that he was just going to get a medicine and would be back soon? ”

"...... You shouldn't have come back so soon......" Qingyue said stunned with a basin in her hand.

"Why shouldn't this palace come back so soon, hey, why did you let this bun out? Don't let it run out in the middle of the night to catch any wild mice. Xia Xiaoxiao walked to the door and closed the door and window to prevent the bun from running out while people were not paying attention.

"The bun wasn't put by the slave, wasn't it taken out by the prince? Didn't Niangniang meet His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"What? Has Beigong Yu been to the Dusk Pavilion? She was a little surprised, the direction in which Beigong Yu came didn't look like he had gone out from the Dusk Pavilion.

Qingyue didn't know why Xia Xiaoxiao had such an expression at this time, and nodded, "Yes, I sat for a while, and then I went out with a bun and went in the direction of the imperial hospital, didn't I just go to find Niangniang?" ”

？ "Was there anything wrong with Beigong Yu when he came?"

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the bun that jumped on her bed when she returned to the room, and there was still some pain in her wrist, Beigong Yu went out to look for her, what did she do to throw the bun down?

"Nope." Qingyue shook her head.

"Alright, you go down first." Xia Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said, "Let's get some hot water for the palace later." ”

"Yes."

Qingyue retreated, Xia Xiaoxiao went to the bed and touched the corners of her mouth, Beigong Yu tonight gave her a different feeling......

In her dream, she seemed to see Beigong Yu who she fell in love with at first sight three years ago, dressed in Xuanyi and with a lofty spirit......

The next day, the sky was not clear, because he was really worried about Beigong Yu's injury, he went to the Han Hall early, I thought that at this time, Beigong Yu should also be in the bed like himself in the past, but when he saw Beigong Yu, who was dressed and picked up the sword in front of the courtyard, he felt that he was really unkind, and he thought everyone was the same lazy worm as himself.

Like last night, dressed in a white dress that he would rarely wear, the sword was his Chu Wen, who was produced in the famous sword capital of Jipan, he glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao from a distance and did not stop.

Xia Xiaoxiao handed the medicine to Wuxi on the side, looked at Beigong Yu who didn't stop moving, and asked Wuxi: "Your Royal Highness gets up so early every day?" The chickens haven't even started to croak yet. ”

Wuxi replied to her casually, "Hui Niangniang, it's not, His Highness didn't seem to be in a good mood last night, so he didn't sleep much, and he got up early today." ”

Beigong Yu's strange appearance suddenly came to mind last night, and she didn't say a word she understood from beginning to end, three years ago, what happened to her three years ago?

"No seats." Caught off guard, Beigong Yu, who suddenly spoke up, interrupted Xia Xiaoxiao's thoughts, looked up, and didn't know when he had collected his sword and walked towards this side.

Wuxi realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, so he took the medicine and hurried to make excuses to boil it.

Xia Xiaoxiao bowed obediently and was about to care about his body, but Beigong Yu just walked past her and walked directly into the room without stopping.

Beigong Yu is indeed in a bad mood, he has been in a bad mood since last night to this morning, Xia Xiaoxiao is too lazy to touch his beard when he is in a bad mood, it is better to hide away, lest she will suffer again when she gets it.

Only then did he turn around and prepare to return to the Dusk Pavilion, when a sneer came from his ears, "Yo, did you come to greet Your Highness so diligently this early in the morning?" It's a pity that His Highness doesn't seem to pay much attention to it. ”

Ye Qiuyu was coming with two concubines from the other palace, just blocking her way back to the Dusk Pavilion.

"That's the case, didn't my sister come over so early, but according to the palace, His Royal Highness went to sleep and went back to sleep, and my sister probably came for nothing this time, so the palace also saw His Royal Highness, didn't he?"

Xia Xiaoxiao looked back at Beigong Yu's closed door, bypassed Ye Qiuyu and walked out.

Sure enough, before she completely walked out of the Han Palace, she heard Pingshun saying that Beigong Yu was going to bed, Beigong Yu would really cooperate with her now, and she really let Pingshun answer after she pulled him back to sleep.

It was obviously the way to the Dusk Pavilion, and after a while, Ye Qiuyu had already caught up with her.

"In any case, my sister and I have been rejected by His Highness, it seems that it is not the person His Highness thinks in his heart, and no one will be able to see His Highness today."

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at her, not knowing what she was referring to.

"It's not just you and me who want to see Your Highness today."

Ye Qiuyu covered his lips and smiled, his eyes swept in the other direction, and Shu Changhua was also walking in the direction of the Han Palace.

Back at the Dusk Pavilion, Xia Xiaoxiao still didn't react, and asked casually: "Qingyue, what day is it today?" When you came back, why did you see so many people running towards the Han Temple? ”

Qingyue, who was sweeping the ground, winked at her, "Niangniang, did you really forget?" ”

"Forgot what? Hasn't Beigong Yu's birthday also passed? The Mid-Autumn Festival is still early. ”

"Lotus feast, today is a rare day for the prince to take his ladies out of the palace every year, and the ladies naturally plan to go out of the palace with His Royal Highness."

Qingyue was helpless, and approached the back room to bring Xia Xiaoxiao a new set of clothes out, "I thought that the mother would never forget, didn't you say that you were going to leave the palace a few days ago." ”

"Ahh Right! Hongu actually forgot! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao knocked her head, Xia Xiaoxiao put her clothes back on the bed, and didn't plan to change them, the annual lotus banquet in the capital was almost more lively than the New Year's party, she should have been looking forward to this day, but on this day, she actually forgot about it.

"To go, or not to go?"

The clothes were newly purchased by Qingyue for her in the Splendid Palace a few days ago, with a few traces of ink in the goose yellow ginseng, and the peach blossom style inlaid with Yingluo in front of the collar, which is simple and does not lose aura, which is Xia Xiaoxiao's favorite style.

"If the lady doesn't go, the slave will put away the clothes first."

"Wait!"

Seeing that Qingyue really planned to put the clothes back, she suddenly thought of something, snatched the clothes and put them on very neatly, ran to the dresser and sat looking at herself in the mirror, and beckoned to Qingyue, "Qingyue, come over and paint a makeup for the palace, look good, don't be too glamorous, and take out the box of jewelry at the bottom of the palace in the wardrobe, and bring the magnolia hairpin and Yingluo collar to me to wear!" ”

Qingyue was flustered, although it was a lotus banquet, but in previous years, I had never seen her master want her to dress up better before leaving the palace, could it be that His Royal Highness wants to go with her this year?

"What's still going on, hurry up, come and help me see which of these two jade bracelets looks better with this set of clothes?"

"Uh-oh."

Seeing Xia Xiaoxiao's sudden joy, thinking that it must be His Royal Highness the Prince, Qingyue couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly got busy according to Xia Xiaoxiao's instructions, today she has to dress up her master beautifully.

After dressing up carefully, she walked out of the Dusk Pavilion leisurely, and before leaving, Qingyue specially told her that it would be okay to come back later, Xia Xiaoxiao thought, isn't she worried about being punished again like she was caught by Beigong Yu last time, but today she is enlightened.

And Xia Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't go to Beigong Yu as Qingyue thought, and even the first thing he did when he left the palace today was not to go to the shops that he couldn't usually visit, but to go to Xijiangyue unconsciously.

She just got a good haircut by the lake, she liked the makeup that Qingyue painted for her today, and she looked a lot more energetic, she licked the corners of her mouth and pushed open the door, but she only saw Anzi cleaning up.

"Where's your master?"

Xia Xiaoxiao looked inside the room, it was much cleaner than when she came, not that it was unclean before, but this time she felt that something was missing, and her eyes fell on the pile of luggage that had been taken care of by Anzi on the table.

"In the future, you don't have to come to my master, my master has gone on a long trip, and it is estimated that he will not come back in a short time."

Anzi glanced at her, and her tone was cold.

"Where did he go? When did you leave? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was inexplicably a little anxious, I didn't hear that he was leaving when we met last time, didn't he say ...... yes, didn't he say he was going to take her away?

"The crown princess."

Anzi stopped what he was doing and walked in front of Xia Xiaoxiao, he could naturally see that Xia Xiaoxiao had dressed up well today, and his tone became more and more distant.

"The little one asked Niangniang, what is the purpose of leaving the palace today."

It was indeed presumptuous to ask, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care and said the truth: "Lotus feast." ”

"Since you are here for the lotus banquet, why did the mother come to my master?"

Xia Xiaoxiao was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Forgive the little talk, Niangniang, you are the prince's person, and you are also the princess of a country, and my master is just a tourist in the rivers and lakes, recently Niangniang and my master have been so frequent, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, the little one here also implore Niangniang, if you really regard my master as a friend, it's best not to come to my master again in the future, this is not a good thing for Niangniang and my master."

It was the first time Xia Xiaoxiao saw Anzi speak to her like this, and the momentum in her words was not like what a small entourage could exude.

She was silent for two moments, her eyes changed to indifference, and she said coldly: "Are you threatening me?" ”

"The little one doesn't dare, but he's just thinking about my master."

Anzi lowered his head, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't plan to worry about anything with him, and turned to leave.

Although it was not yet the most lively time in the evening and dusk, the streets were already full of people, and the small shops were all hung with red lanterns, waiting to start shouting, the young men tied their black hair neatly, and the twenty-eight women all painted pink and wore their favorite jewelry like Xia Xiaoxiao.

Unfortunately, she bumped into a pair of beautiful women who came head-on, and she apologized to the woman again and again, only to see the man push her away and worry about the woman: "But where is the injury?" ”

The woman smiled: "It's no big deal, presumably this girl didn't mean it, let's go quickly, lest I won't be able to catch up with the party later." ”

The man glared at Xia Xiaoxiao and left with the woman.

Looking at the backs of the two of them walking away, she took out the sword spike from her arms, which should have been given to Beigong Yu, but when she left the palace today, she thought about what was missing on the Zhongli sword that just stopped, and brought it out easily.

Fang just asked her what was going on out of the palace in Xijiang Yueanzi, she said that for the lotus banquet, the lotus banquet, said that it was a banquet, it was a grand event similar to the lantern festival, and once a year in the capital for young men and women to prepare a party, when the lotus flowers were in full bloom in late summer, a pair of beauties met on this day to the Xianger River to put lotus lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, swim in the Xianger River, listen to opera, enjoy the fireworks and watch the banquet, and in such a day that belonged to the meeting of men and women, the first thing she did when she left the palace was to find Luozhi.

When she was in Shangshu Mansion before, Lord Shangshu also said the same thing as Anzi, but she didn't care about it at that time, but when she thinks about it today, she is a little too much.

After entering the palace, she came to play alone in the two lotus banquets, even three years ago, she was accompanied by Ji Xiaoer, and in the past three years, maybe she has been alone for too long, so long that she forgot the feeling of having friends, so that every time she left the palace, the people she thought of were down.

"This stinks! Don't tell me when you leave! What did you know I was going to do when I left the palace today? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao sorted out her thoughts, although she felt that it was very inappropriate for her to be like this, but she still began to think about the ups and downs, and today she wanted to play all those games with him, but now she is the only one, and she feels more and more bored.

A person walked from East Street to West Street, unconsciously the sky gradually darkened, there were more and more people on the street, from time to time there were always pairs of men and women passing by, most of them were holding lotus lanterns in their hands, and when the sky was darker, they took the Xianger River to put the lanterns and make wishes.

A little boy ran up to her with a lotus lantern in his hand: "Sister, sister, you are so beautiful, come to my house and buy a lotus lantern to put it on." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the lotus lantern in the little boy's hand, and wanted to tease him, squatted down and pinched his pink and tender little cheeks, pretending to be distressed: "What should I do, my sister went out in a hurry for a few days, and I forgot to bring silver, so I can't buy it." ”

The little boy crooked his mouth and pondered for a while: "Then my sister will let my sister's husband buy it for my sister, and my sister said to my husband that if I want to put a lotus lantern, my husband must buy it for my sister." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao laughed "poof", this little guy can do business, and said: "But what to do, my sister's husband didn't come with my sister to enjoy the lotus today." ”

"Hmm." The little boy lowered his head and pondered seriously, just as Xia Xiaoxiao was about to stop teasing him, the little boy suddenly raised his head, secretly glanced at the woman who was busy selling lotus lanterns not far behind him, and reluctantly handed her the lotus lantern in his hand, "Then I'll give this lamp to my sister, this one I took is the best lamp in my family, sister, you came to the lotus banquet alone, and you didn't bring money, you must be very bored alone, I send this lamp to my sister, you won't be bored." The little boy whispered to her in her ear, "But don't tell my mother, I gave it to you, and my mother will be angry if she finds out!" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, took the lotus lamp from his hand with a smile, rubbed his little head, and took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag and put it in his hand: "Sister teasing you, your kind sister understands it, oh, take this money to your mother, and buy candy for the rest." ”

The little boy happily took the silver, ran for less than two steps and stopped to look back at Xia Xiaoxiao, raised the corners of his mouth at her, revealing two little tiger teeth that had just grown out and laughed loudly: "Sister, to be honest, you don't have a husband yet, right?" ”

Although this little fart child is small, he didn't expect the voice to be so loud, as soon as he said this, the people around him looked at him with a strange look, Xia Xiaoxiao instantly blushed, "What do you have, hurry up and buy candy to eat." ”

"My sister is so cute, I will definitely find a good husband, and let him buy a lamp for my sister when the time comes!"

The little boy didn't care whether she was annoyed or not, and jumped towards the downtown with the money.

Xia Xiaoxiao watched him disappear into the crowd, embarrassed to take the lamp to the river, the lotus lamp with twelve petals in her hand has not yet been lit by candles, she came to the bank of the Xianger River, and there are gradually more people coming to this side, most of them come to put lotus flowers with the person they like, and there are also girls like Xia Xiaoxiao, holding the lotus lantern alone, squatting on the bank and watching the Yingying candlelight float towards the middle of the river by the lotus flowers, those girls have clear eyes and pink joy on their cheeks.

Xia Xiaoxiao went to the shop, picked up the pen and wrote two words on the center of the lamp, then put the candle in, came to the riverside, and watched the lotus lanterns gradually blooming on the river surface reflect the entire Xianger River like day.

There were a few little girls who came in groups, looking about twelve or thirteen years old, and they came over with lotus lanterns, which should be a few young ladies who had a good relationship, playing with each other, laughing, three years ago, as if she was also like this in the same season, Qiu Yan and the two came to Xianger River to put lights.

Xia Xiaoxiao squatted down and lit the wick, put it into the river, and looked at his lamp in a daze and gradually drifted into the river, and there were more all kinds of lotus lamps in the river.

Hey, now that the lights are on, and it's getting late, I guess I can't see the next light dance.

She got up and patted the corners of her skirt that was wet with water under her feet, and looked at the middle of the river again, where the appearance of various lotus flowers was reflected, faintly, in the water on the opposite bank, a person's figure was reflected.

Xia Xiaoxiao was a little stunned, worried that he was dazzled by so much water, and his eyes moved up little by little, until he really saw the appearance of that person, and the haze of the day seemed to be scattered without a trace like a gust of wind at the moment of seeing him, replaced by disbelief and ecstasy.

Luozhi just stood quietly on the opposite bank, dressed in white with the evening breeze, the lotus lanterns all over the river were slightly reflected on his fair face, the silver mask was stained with a layer of candlelight red, and a lotus lantern swam down in front of him, looking so quiet, making Xia Xiaoxiao feel as if these lotus lanterns that women like so much are just his foils, he looked at her, the corners of his lips moved lightly, and he couldn't take his eyes off his smile.

Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to run over, but the riverbank was too far apart, and in the blink of an eye, she saw that she had landed on her toes lightly and jumped straight from the opposite bank, stepping on the water with her toes, stepping on the lotus flowers, leaving a faint ripple on the calm water, and finally fell beside her in the stunned sight of everyone.

"Why are you here?"

After Xia Xiaoxiao was surprised, the first sentence he said was this.

Luo Zhi didn't speak, took her hand and walked towards the downtown area.

"Aren't you out of the house? Anzi also said that you won't be back in a short time, and I thought you really left without even saying hello to me. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was pulled by him, and he suddenly stopped to look at her, "Are you afraid of me leaving?" ”

It's not to ask, but to ask her for sure, Xia Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "It's not counting, you always have your own things to do, but I don't want you to leave without telling me when you leave, you see, I'm you, I'm the first to tell you everything, but what about you?" It's okay if you don't treat me as your true face, but now I only know that you are even going out of the house, isn't it too unrighteous for you to be like this? ”

"So, didn't this come to tell you?"

Luo Zhi shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect this girl to hold a lot of hatred for these.

"So, let's just let you go this time!"

She stood on tiptoe and laboriously touched her head with her hand like touching her bun, squinted her eyes, and her two little tiger teeth also smiled and exposed.

Luo Zhi looked at her in surprise, he had grown so big, but no one had ever dared to touch his head like her.

During the period of being stunned, Xia Xiaoxiao took his hand in turn, and walked to a crowded place in a good mood, "Let's go, sister is in a good mood today, sister invites you to eat candy~"

Luo Zhi couldn't cry or laugh behind her, he was a full six years older than her in terms of age.

Sure enough, Xia Xiaoxiao's first place was to forage for food, and after eating and drinking, he really didn't forget to buy him two strings of sugar gourds.

Xia Xiaoxiao walked in front with a string of sugar gourds in her hand, humming a little song in her mouth, and her skirt bloomed in the brisk steps under her feet, just like when she was alone before.

Luo Zhi walked behind her, and another string of sugar gourds was in his hand, naturally he didn't really want to eat it, for him, these were used to bluff children, but sometimes, it seemed to be a very good thing to coax Xia Xiaoxiao.

Xianger River is more and more lively, about the time of the lantern dance, the lotus banquet in the capital, the lantern dance is different from other places, the dancers are dancing in the middle of the water, put nine sitting lotus in the middle of the Xianger River, nine women will sit on the lotus as a stage, so it is called the nine lotus lantern, so the business of renting a boat on this day is particularly good, the price is also twice as expensive as usual, generally a little bit of family people are willing to spend some money to rent a boat to the middle of the river to watch the dance, if not, it is also very good to watch on the shore.

Xia Xiaoxiao stuffed two strings of sugar gourds into his stomach, pulled them into a small boat, and rowed to the middle of the river.
