Warm yellow light, dappled shadows of trees. Ji Erlan stood sideways, smiling heartily, like a dark cloud that had been covering the sun for a long time suddenly being washed away by the sun, and the fresh breath seemed to make the dead wood spring and all things grow.

It was the first time for Yang Zhen to see her laughing like this, and she couldn't help but be stunned. Of course, this is also the first time that Ji Erlan has laughed so arbitrarily since returning here. On weekdays, she always looks light and light, and she doesn't care about everything, even if she encounters something happy, she just smiles slightly, but she has never been like this.

Song Yaoxian followed his gaze and saw three girls with masks, chasing and laughing, still holding the food sold by the street stalls in their hands, frowning slightly, and said: "Look at these people who are well-dressed and have outstanding figures, unlike the daughters of small families, how can they behave so badly?" Suddenly, the eyes of the prince were sudden, it really shouldn't be. ”

When Yang Wei heard this, the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he was disappointed. He turned his head to the shy and reserved girl in front of him and said, "This king still has something to do, so I won't delay Miss Song's play and say goodbye." ”

Song Yaoxian was stunned for a while, and before she could say anything, Yang Yao had already turned around and left without looking back.

"How so?" Song Yaoxian seemed to have tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Qingyun, what did I do wrong? finally met, and he left without even saying a word of greeting...... How could he just go? ”

Qingyun and Danyun glanced at each other, and they were a little helpless, so they could only persuade: "Girl, don't think too much, didn't the prince say that he still has something?" ”

Song Yaoxian thought for a while and asked, "I heard that there was an accident in Xishi, and the prince came here after dealing with a murder case over there." How could such a noble person as him go to a place like Xishi? I heard that there are three sects and nine streams in the West City, and there are many and miscellaneous people, if you want to go, you should also go to the East Market......"

Qingyun and Danyun are both born in the family, and they grew up with Song Yaoxian since they were children, and they have never been to the West Market.

Danyun said: "The prince is superb in martial arts, and there are many guards around him, so he is naturally not afraid." But don't think about it, for it's not a safe place. In case something goes wrong, how can the slave and maid explain to the lady. ”

Saying that, he persuaded Song Yaoxian to return to the sedan chair. "Girl, it's getting late, let's go home first."

Song Yaoxian sighed and nodded in disappointment. But I heard someone walking over not far away: "I heard that the girl who solved the case with Lord Du is the daughter of Lord Masaki of Dali Temple." ”

"Really? No wonder, Master Ji helped Fang Fu solve the case as soon as he arrived in the capital, and it seems that his daughter is also very talented! ”

Song Yaoxian's face changed, and she muttered, "The prince went to the West Market with Ji Erlan?" ”

"The girl must not think much about it, maybe it is just a coincidence? Let's hurry back home. ”

Song Yaoxian was stubborn for the first time, and said, "Let's not go back first, and then walk around." ”

The three of them ate and walked all the way, and finally arrived at a shallow beach in Gushui, surrounded by people with lamps, not only women and children, but also girls in groups of three or five, and their sons, each standing in one place, talking, talking and laughing.

Twilight Yu wanted to hand a lit lotus lamp to Ji Erlan, and said, "Maybe the girl has a wish." ”

Although Ji Erlan didn't think that this lotus lamp could fulfill his wish, he was very willing to join in the fun, so he reached out and took it and walked to the water's edge.

"Do you still believe this?"

When Ji Erlan heard this voice, he turned around in surprise, and saw that King Du's face had changed into a silver mask of a different style than just now, and the white robe on his body had also been replaced by an azure Shu brocade robe, with an East Pearl purple jade belt tied around his waist, and a cloud-patterned five-bat jasper pendant hanging from his side, and the whole person looked extraordinarily luxurious.

Ji Erlan was surprised, this body, naturally romantic, very handsome. But the other party's temperament is beyond ordinary people, so that he still looks different from the son of the family in the usual splendid pile, and he still looks like an immortal who has come down to play in the mortal world. She said strangely: "The prince is dressed like this? Is it to hide people's eyes? ”

Yang Zhen didn't answer the question: "What, isn't it good-looking?" ”

Ji Erlan rolled her eyes in her heart, how could it not be good-looking? This kind of temperament and appearance is almost more than this girl! Wouldn't you be embarrassed as a man? She secretly scolded herself, laughed dryly, and replied, "Does the prince still care about this?" ”

Yang Zhen snorted and took a lotus lamp from Lei Ze's hand.

Ji Erlan's jaw was about to dislocate: "The prince also believes this?" ”

"Why, do you care so much whether this king believes it or not?"

Ji Erlan's eyebrows trembled, why does this man always have to speak with a lot of energy? She snorted and walked away: "Don't care! ”

Lei Ze saw that Yang Zhen's face suddenly hesitated, and the dark clouds covered the top, and he almost laughed out loud. He hurriedly took a step back, afraid that his master would see his expression. However, among the guards, after all, there were people who didn't hold back, and the poof, which was particularly prominent.

Yang Zheng didn't know it, and said coldly: "Fines for half a year." ”

The guard couldn't laugh anymore, and looked at Razor with a sad face. Lei Ze glanced at him seriously, and said with his eyes: Who told you that you couldn't control your mouth?

On the Gu water, more than 10 splendid carved beams float on the water, and the tulle and palace lamps on the eaves of the ship bring out a cloud of hazy and blurred light and shadow. The singer's voice is clear and sultry, flowing into the ears of the people around her. In contrast, the dim bean-like candlelight on the lotus lamp looks incomparably small.

Ji Erlan looked at the one that belonged to her, drifting away, and didn't know what it was like in her heart.

Seeing her expression, Yang Zheng suddenly handed her lotus lamp to her and said, "I don't know what you want, but I can tell you that although the chances of the stars and the moon competing for glory are slim, fortunately, you can have many such opportunities." ”

Ji Erlan looked at the man standing beside him, and then looked down at the lotus lamp in his hand, and his depressed mood suddenly collapsed. She laughed, "You're right. ”

She stepped forward and put Yang Zhen's lotus lamp into Gushui, seeing it staggering forward, she quickly caught up with the previous one, the two lights collided together, and the light and shadow reflected in the water suddenly shone brightly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao and Fang Qingxue had already put the lights in another place, and in a blink of an eye, they saw Ji Erlan standing with a man. Fang Qingxue couldn't help but wonder: "That person, who is it?" ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao frowned: "I don't know, but, seeing that person's posture is tall and his temperament is outstanding, let's go over and pull Er Lan back!" In case Er Lan is confused, what will the prince do? ”

Fang Qingxue quipped: "Don't you also have a love for Lord Du?" Why don't you have a hint of jealousy? ”

"This little lady in the capital, who doesn't have some thoughts about King Du. Don't you think that the prince is a good one? ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "However, there are very few people who can be worthy of the prince!" Fortunately, our Erlan can be worthy, I am optimistic about her! ”

Fang Qingxue looked at her and grinned: "I think so too." ”

The two of them said easily, but they stepped forward with hesitation, but before they could speak, they heard Ji Erlan greet in the distance with a smile: "Uncle! ”

Qin Cheng looked back and saw that it was his niece, and hurriedly came over to talk to her. Several young men standing beside him also looked back at this time.

Ji Erlan's eyes swept away, and his face suddenly froze.

It was as if a chill poured in from the top of her head, flowing inch by inch, encroaching on her every nerve......

The night breeze suddenly rolled up the hem of her sleeves and skirt, and the cold sweat on her forehead suddenly became cold. She saw Hong Yan lowering his eyes and laughing and talking with others, seeing him turn his head casually and naturally, and seeing his surprised gaze when he looked over......

The sounds around her rumbled in her ears, but she was unconscious, and only looked at the slender and clear figure in the distance through countless past phantoms.

Several people around her didn't understand why she suddenly turned pale and stunned, and they all looked into the distance with her gaze in confusion, but Yang Zhen stepped forward, diverted everyone's attention, and said to Ji Erlan: "Did you recognize the wrong person?" ”

The line of sight was blocked, and the reflection in Ji Erlan's eyes turned into Yang Zhen's face. She clutched her sweaty palms, tried to calm herself, and said, "Yes...... I recognized the wrong person......"

Qin Cheng looked at the man standing in front of Ji Erlan suspiciously, and felt that it was inappropriate, so he said, "Erlan, it's not early, you should go home early." ”

"Well, I'll go back." Ji Erlan didn't look at the man again, and turned around cleanly with his eyes down.

Yang Wei looked at her tense back, turned around and looked in the direction of Hong Yan, and saw that the person had a beautiful appearance and unparalleled elegance, which was not inferior to several beautiful sons of the Yan family, and many women by the Gushui were secretly looking at this person. However, he didn't think that Ji Erlan was out of shape because of this person's appearance.

When she first saw Yan Yan, Ji Erlan didn't even move her eyebrows.

On the way back, Ji Erlan seemed to be a different person, which made Cheng Xiaoxiao and Fang Qingxue a little uneasy. Cheng Xiaoxiao asked, "Er Lan, are you ...... Is it really okay? ”

Ji Erlan smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Fang Qingxue hesitated and asked, "Who did you recognize by mistake?" Why did you look so bad at the time? ”

Ji Erlan was silent for a moment and said, "Yes...... A man who has died. ”

After Ji Erlan said this, she felt that her three souls and seven spirits had returned to their places, and she really didn't need to react so much for Hong Yan. In her heart, Hong Yan is indeed a dead soul, and he will die at his own hands in the near future!

Cheng Xiaoxiao gasped and said suddenly: "No wonder your face is so bad, if I see a dead person standing in front of me, I will be scared to death!" ”

Fang Qingxue nodded again and again, but she was a little scared and didn't dare to say anything more, so she moved on to another topic: "By the way, before Fang just went to Gushui, I seemed to see Song Yaoxian standing with the prince of Dudu...... It seems that the Song family and the Yan family have begun to compete for the position of Princess Du, Er Lan, do you have any plans in mind? ”
