Text Chapter 21 The Beginning of the Lights

A few people discussed and went back to appreciate the lights, and they were sleepy after shopping for lunch in the morning, fortunately, Drunken Yuexuan was mostly doing business for dignitaries and nobles, and the rooms on the sixth floor were all kinds of things, in addition to the main hall and side hall, there were two wings on the left and right, specially designed for rest, Zhen Linyi and Zhen Linxuan were one, Xue Xueru and Xie Jiayao were one, and Xia Yunshang was resting in the side hall.

After a few people left, Xia Yunshang closed her eyes and lay on the couch with the beauty. The breeze blows slowly from the window, accompanied by the faint fragrance of orchid burning, and slowly falls asleep, and a scene from the previous life comes to dream.

"Big sister, I forgot to retrieve my purse in a hurry that day, I'm really sorry." Xia Yunshang said apologetically

"What did the sisters say, after my sister asked someone to send a letter to Li Ergongzi, Li Ergongzi quickly sent someone to send it, I was careless, but the third sister Lao bothered." Chu Mengxi said gratefully

"It's just to make up for the mistake and, the big sister is polite." Xia Yunshang said with a smile

"But I'm surprised, why was the third sister so flustered that day?" Chu Mengxi said jokingly

"I can't tell this, I just feel my heart beating panicked, my face is very red, and the whole person seems to be in cotton. Hey, I can't say it either. Xia Yunshang said in a tangled way, thinking that he had never seen it on any occasion, why was he panicked like that, it was too embarrassing.

"Really?" Chu Mengxi looked at Xia Yunsheng, and suddenly smiled and said, "Third sister"

Xia Yunshang looked at Chu Mengxi, who was smiling, and said puzzledly, "What does the big sister want to say?" ”

"I want to say, is the third sister in love with the second son of Li?"

"How come" Xia Yunshang said with a smile, Li Chengyin is indeed dignified, but there are many more handsome than him, the eldest emperor brother is romantic, the second emperor brother is elegant, the third emperor brother is cold, and the fifth emperor brother is handsome, this kind of love at first sight will not.

"It's hard to say, this love word is the most inexplicable," Chu Mengxi said with a smile, "Okay, the four sisters are far away, let's go quickly." ”

"Big sister, fourth sister wait for me, ah, I'm sorry."

"Your Royal Highness Princess, meet again." Li Chengyin still wore a silver-white bamboo pattern Song Jin straight, holding a golden painted flower mask and looking at him with a smile.

The dream turned sharply, and he wore a red embroidered phoenix mandarin duck brocade dress to bid farewell to the Zhenguo Mansion and entered the Ningguo Mansion, and suddenly the red wedding dress flowed like blood, scattered around him, he was wrapped in blood, and he was trapped in boundless darkness, and there were bursts of laughter next to him. The light and shadow swayed, and the heart ached.

Xia Yunshang gasped rapidly, opened her eyes from the dream suddenly, raised her eyes and looked around, the well-decorated side hall, the soft beauty couch, and the gust of breeze not far away, Xia Yunshang breathed deeply, wanting to exhale the helpless fear and deep hatred in the dream out of her body, and heard the movement of the side hall, Zijuan hurriedly came in, and saw Xia Yunshang breathing heavily, looking at the window lattice and being stunned. He asked softly, "Miss?" ”

Xia Yunshang was pulled back to her fluttering thoughts by the voice, looked at Zijuan in front of her, and responded with a smile: "Huh? ”

Zijuan helped Xia Yunshang straighten her clothes with concern and said, "Miss seems to have slept very unsteadily since that day. ”

"It's just a little light sleep, it's okay, can they wake up?" Xia Yunshang said with a smile

"I'm not awake yet, Miss wants to stop resting?" Zijuan looked at Xia Yunshang and said distressedly

"Okay, you can also go to a break, I guess there will be a walk tonight."

"Okay" Zijuan responded with a smile, gently lowered the bead curtain and exited the side hall.

Xia Yunshang lay down again, calmed down, and fell asleep leisurely, but Xia Yunshang didn't know that there was a person on the roof looking at him with burning eyes, full of love and worry.

Another hour passed, and Zhen Linyi and others packed up one after another.

"I'm so full of sleep, I have to go shopping at night, we haven't played like this for a long time." Xie Jiayao said expectantly

Xue Xueru smiled and nodded Xie Jiayao's little nose and said, "I just love to play." ”

A few people smiled out of the Zhilan Hall, fortunately Zuiyue Xuan is in the bustling area of East Street, out of the door of Zuiyue Xuan is the main street, it is the moonlight is getting dark, the lanterns are on the beginning.

The shops and vendors on the street gradually became lively, all kinds of colored lights dotted the East Street, and the river lanterns gradually floated on the Yudai River not far away, and the various river lamps of three or three twos dotted the Yudai River like the Milky Way in the air into the world. Zhen Linyi, Xie Jiayao, and Xue Xueru wanted to go shopping for lantern riddles, while Xia Yunshang and Zhen Linxuan wanted to put river lanterns, so they separated and went back to Zhilan Hall for dinner after an hour.

"Shang'er, let's go choose the river lantern, shall we?" Zhen Linxuan said happily

"Well, I remember that there is an old couple whose river lanterns are particularly beautiful, shall we go to that house?" Xia Yunshang took Zhen Linxuan's hand and said

"Uh-huh"

The two happily went to look for the river lantern of the house, and suddenly were called by a gentle voice: "Sister Xiang'er, Miss Zhen." ”

The two turned their heads to see Shangguan Jinrong, who was wearing a blue embroidered lotus wrapped around a gold straight skirt and a white jade crown, and Xia Yunxuan, who was wearing a bud yellow cloud pattern and black edge curled skirt, standing under the Chinese lamp, the lights were scorching, and they felt that the two of them seemed to be in a painting.

"Brother, second emperor brother, you also come to visit the temple fair?"

"Yes, where are you going? But are you going to put the river lanterns? Shangguan Jinrong asked with a smile

"Do you want to go?" Xia Yunshang asked with a smile

"How can you refuse an invitation from a beauty? Yun Xuan? Shangguan Jinrong looked at Xia Yunxuan beside him and asked

"It's so good, but I wonder if Sister Zhen will idle us and get in the way?" Xia Yunxuan looked at Zhen Linxuan with a smile and asked.

Zhen Linxuan's eyes lowered slightly, and then looked at Xia Yunxuan slightly shyly and said, "Naturally not."

Xia Yunshang blinked, Zhen Linxuan seemed to blush a little, alas? Did you find something?

In the previous life, Lin Xuan married the second royal brother, and before the marriage, Lin Xuan also specially looked for herself, but she hesitated and didn't say anything, she only thought it was because of the worry of being about to get married, and because of the anxiety about the royal family, now that I think about it, maybe it's because of ......

Xia Yunshang looked at his brother, well, his brother is dignified, and he doesn't have the sour smell of a scholar, and he can even pick up a gun to settle down in the country, if there is really such a sister-in-law, it is not bad to think about it, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, try it today to see the situation. Xia Yunshang was secretly excited about this little discovery.

Xia Yunshang let go of Zhen Linxuan's hand, stepped forward and said to Shangguan Jinrong: "Second Imperial Brother, I really want to thank the Imperial Brother for his help on my birthday." As he spoke, Shangguan Jinrong walked forward.

Zhen Linxuan saw Xia Yunshang and Shangguan Jinrong walking forward alone, and at this moment, Xia Yunxuan's mellow voice sounded in her ears, "Sister Zhen wants to choose the river lantern?" I remember that there is a very good river lantern, how about we choose? ”

Zhen Linxuan looked up at Xia Yunxuan in front of her, only to feel that those eyes were even brighter than the river lanterns of the Yudai River, she missed a beat in her heart, nodded, and said, "I and Shang'er are also talking about choosing a river lantern, what kind of one does Brother Xia want to choose?" ”

Xia Yunxuan only felt that this sentence of Brother Xia sounded extremely ironing, and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it either, how about bothering Sister Zhen to help me choose when the time comes?" ”

"Okay."

The two walked side by side in the bustling crowd, an ambiguous atmosphere surrounded the two, Xia Yunsheng, who was paying attention to the movement here, was slightly proud in his heart, it seemed that he was going to ask his own brother when he went back tonight.

"Second Emperor Brother, do you want to choose the river lantern?" Xia Yunshang pressed her curiosity, smiled and looked at Shangguan Jinrong on the side and said

"Well, what kind of river lantern does Xiang'er like?" Shangguan Jinrong asked with a smile, the lights on the street sprinkled on Yunshang's beautiful face, which became softer and softer, and Shangguan Jinrong only felt that his heart was full of warmth.

"I don't have any special favorite style, what about the second emperor brother?"

"I love lotus lanterns." Shangguan Jinrong looked at Xia Yunshang gently, Yunshang looked at these eyes full of warmth, smiled and said: "I didn't expect the second emperor brother to like lotus lanterns, I thought that the second emperor brother would like the crane-shaped river lantern like my brother." ”

"The river lantern places a wish, so naturally you have to choose the favorite." Shangguan Jinrong said with a smile, Yun Sheng only felt that the word love was extremely heavy, and seemed to feel that Shangguan Jinrong's gaze was too hot, Yun Sheng withdrew his gaze with a slight panic, raised a peony river lamp in front of him and asked, "I think this is not bad, brother, what do you think?" ”

"Naturally, the best choice is the best."

"Miss's vision is really good, this peony river lamp is made by the villain with a lot of effort, the most exquisite, especially suitable for making a wish for marriage, Miss can you make an inscription to make a wish?" The hawker looked at the two people in front of him in brocade clothes, full of luxury, and the temple fair was also the day when the young ladies of the son met, and the hawker was only a small couple, and he flattered him happily.

"Well, these two." Shangguan Jinrong chose a light purple lotus lamp and said.

"Alas, the villain will prepare pen and ink for the two of you, Miss Childe will wait a minute."

Shangguan Jinrong smiled and asked, "What is Shang'er's wish?" ”

"I'm nothing special," Xia Yunshang smiled and wrote: "I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." ”

Shangguan Jinrong looked at Xia Yunsheng's Xiaokai and said with a smile, "Shang'er's words are getting better and better" After speaking, he wrote on the river lamp: Towards the clouds and twilight rain, the heart comes and goes, and the moon is bright for thousands of miles.

"The handwriting of the two of you is really beautiful, like a painting, but it makes my river lamp more elegant." The vendor said with a smile.

Xia Yunshang quipped: "Since we wrote really well, the boss will send one?" You see, there is still a beautiful woman who has not written her wishes. As he spoke, he pulled Zijuan to the side and said with a smile

"The two young ladies are as beautiful as fairies, and I am willing to send a river lantern." As he spoke, he took out a lily lamp made of rice paper from the side, although it was not as delicate as the two of Yunsheng, but it was also small, and several people were not restrained, so they accepted it with a smile. Shangguan Jinrong is in a better mood, so keep more money for rewards. The peddler was happy, and he made a lot of money this time, and he wanted to come to this river lantern to give it worth.

After choosing the river lantern, Yunshang and Shangguan Jinrong came to the Yudai River, where young men and women gathered in twos and threes, all of whom carefully put the river lantern into the water and made a vow to go. Xia Yunshang put the river lantern into the water, silently thinking of the child she had never met in her previous life, forgetting the rippling and swaying river lantern and silently thinking in her heart, Bao'er, in the previous life, you failed to protect your mother's fault, and in this life, your mother will be the enemy of the sword, and she will be the soul of Bao'er. I will also protect the people around me from any harm.

"Have you made a wish?" Shangguan Jinrong asked softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Yunshang's prayers.

"Well, what did the second emperor brother promise?" Xia Yunshang asked with a smile

"If you promise the book of the river lantern, I believe that the man will also understand." Shangguan Jinrong said affectionately, looking at such a second emperor brother, Xia Yunshang nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I believe it too." ”

On the side of the Yudai River, under the embellishment of river lamps, a pair of beautiful people stand opposite each other, and such a beautiful scenery makes passers-by smile sideways. And in the Qingguo Mansion, a pair of sisters are having a long talk.
