The next day, Yan Qinglan began to put it into action.

Yan Qinglan asked his subordinates to prepare the materials for making river lanterns, and then carefully selected the required materials from them, planning to make a lotus river lantern for Xie Changning. He felt that Xie Changning was fresh and elegant, gentle and amiable, and he would definitely like the elegant lotus river lamp, and moreover, Xie Changning was like a slim lotus flower to him, out of the mud without staining.

Under the guidance of Li Caifu, Yan Qinglan did it extremely seriously and did not let go of every detail.

"Lan'er, what are you doing here?" Without waiting for Yan Qinglan to answer, Princess Yanjun walked in, only to see Yan Qinglan having something upside down in her hand, and when she looked closely, it was actually a lotus river lamp.

Yan Qinglan was always gentle, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm making river lanterns." Unconsciously, this river lantern has also completed seven or eight points, he is quite satisfied with his work, thinking that Changning should like it, right?

Princess Yanjun realized that the Begging Festival was coming. Looking at Yan Qinglan's serious appearance, Princess Yanjun couldn't help asking, "Lan'er, how can you do this?" Princess Yanjun was deeply surprised, Yan Qinglan has always only been obsessed with the elegant things of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has never seen him do such rough work by himself.

Yan Qinglan chuckled and said, "Mother, I asked Ah Fu to teach me, how do you see me doing?" ”

Ah Fu, who was standing on the side, laughed twice, he was a child of a poor family, he had to do everything by himself, and it was naturally no problem to make river lanterns.

Princess Yanjun raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to make this lamp for that Xie Changning?" ”

Yan Qinglan bowed her head and said, "Yes, mother, now that Changning's illness has been cured, I want to invite her to spend the begging festival together." ”

Speaking of Xie Changning's illness, which was caused by the youngest daughter of the Xie family, Princess Yanjun sighed and said, "Hey, her young sister is really uncomfortable...... It's not like I'm eloping with a wild man! "Princess Yanjun has always had a pimple in her heart, Xie Chang'an's disappearance is well known, she is afraid that outsiders will also point fingers at Xie Changning, which will affect her family's Lan'er.

Yan Qinglan frowned slightly, and defended Xie Changan: "Mother, maybe she didn't do it voluntarily...... Maybe they were taken captive. Although he had never seen the youngest daughter of the Xie family, he still felt that the young lady who was born in the Hou Mansion of Rong'an, and with such an outstanding eldest sister as Xie Changning, Xie Changan would not even understand basic etiquette, righteousness and shame.

"Whether it's voluntary or not, whether it's taken away, the reputation of the little daughter of the Xie family is ruined!" Princess Yanjun shook her head and sighed. Moreover, Princess Yanjun has always believed that there will be no wind in the air, everything has traces to follow, and the rumors will not be groundless.

Yan Qinglan lightly put down the river lamp in her hand, looked at Princess Yanjun and said solemnly: "Mother, this is a hurdle in Changning's heart, if you see Changning in the future, please don't mention this matter again." Yan Qinglan's always gentle face unconsciously brought a little caution.

Princess Yanjun's heart was sour, and she wrinkled her brows and said: "You care about her so much now, and marry her in the future, but don't have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother." ”

Yan Qinglan chuckled lightly and said kindly: "How come? My mother loves me so much, how can I forget my mother? "Yan Qinglan and Princess Yanjun have a deep relationship between mother and son, she is a dear person who grew up watching him grow up freely, and she has a very heavy weight in his heart.

"That's very good." Princess Yanjun smiled with satisfaction, although it was difficult to foresee the future now, she believed that Yan Qinglan must be a filial son.

Prince Chung's Mansion.

Prince Zhong thought about it, but he was still not worried about Prince Zhong, and personally ordered that Xiao Yuchu Wangfu should not be allowed to take a step.

Xiao Yuan knocked on the door outside, but no one came to open the door for a long time, and wondered: "Where did Yu'er go?" ”

At this time, Xiao Yu was concentrating on eating osmanthus cake, not wanting to pay attention to the annoying knock on the door. Now, he can't leave the palace, and he can't see Xie Chang'an, only eating can relieve his depressed mood.

Xiao Yuan looked at the door of the room where there was no movement at all, and Zhang Han, who was standing on the side, pointed to the room and nodded, signaling Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yu to be in the room at this time.

Xiao Yu shouted suspiciously: "Yu'er! As soon as Xiao Yu heard Xiao Yuan's voice, he immediately dropped the half-eaten osmanthus cake, wiped his hand on his body indiscriminately, and ran to open the door.

Xiao Yu saw Xiao Yuan and exclaimed in surprise: "Big brother! For a while, Xiao Yu jumped and jumped, happy like a child. Although Xiao Yu is mentally incomplete, he knows who is good to him and who is bad to him, and Xiao Yuan has doted on him since he was a child.

Xiao Yuan knew that Xiao Yu must have been stuffy in the past few days, and after the two entered the room, Xiao Yuan asked with a smile: "Yu'er, the begging festival is coming, do you want to go and put the river lantern?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head without thinking and said, "I don't want to, it's boring." Although he was bored at home, he didn't want to do anything that had nothing to do with Xie Changan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu was blessed to his heart, and pretended to regret and said: "Yu'er, the begging festival is very lively, maybe, Xie Changan will also go then, since you don't want to go, then forget it......"

Hearing Chang'an's name, Xiao Yu's spirit was lifted, and he blurted out: "Big brother, I'll go, I'm going to play with Chang'an." After a pause, Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Big brother, Dad won't let me go out......"

Xiao Yuan waved his hand absently and said, "It's okay, I'll tell my father, it's Yu'er, you, have you thought about what to send to Xie Chang'an?" "On the day of the Begging Festival, lovers will give each other love tokens.

Xiao Yu was at a loss for a moment, and muttered: "Gift? I...... I have to think about it carefully," Xiao Yu lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He didn't know Xie Changan's preferences, and he really didn't know what to send. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the barely visible scar on his finger, which was the injury she had suffered when she was making a woodcarved rabbit for Xie Chang'an.

"I see! I know! Big brother, I want to make a rabbit lantern for Chang'an! Xiao Yu thought that rabbits were the most suitable for Chang'an, and Xie Chang'an would definitely like rabbit river lanterns. Last time it was a wood carved rabbit, this time it was a rabbit river lantern, so when Xie Changan saw a rabbit, he would think of him.

"That's very good." Xiao Yuan smiled with satisfaction when he saw Xiao Yu's eager appearance, as long as Xiao Yu cheered up, he would not be worried.

Xiao Yu has been good at making gadgets since he was a child, so it is not difficult for him to make a lantern, but his methods are more immature. There are still four days before the Qiqiao Festival, and in the past few days, Xiao Yu has been hiding in the room and working hard, as long as it is related to Xie Changan, Xiao Yu will be full of energy. He had been busy for a long time and had made two of them, but he was not very satisfied with the appearance of the two river lanterns, and he planned to make another one that was more beautiful.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Young Master, are you inside?"

It was Tianqing's voice, Xiao Yu answered, and continued to concentrate on making river lanterns, which really couldn't be delayed for a minute or a second.

Tianqing came to inquire about the news for Prince Zhong, and this morning I heard that Xiao Yu locked himself in the room, I don't know what he was tinkering with, Tianqing took a closer look, and vaguely saw that Xiao Yu was making river lanterns, and said to confirm: "Young master, are you making river lanterns?" As he spoke, he placed the pastries he had brought on the table beside him.

Xiao Yu focused on the river lantern in front of him, and said without raising his head: "I'm making rabbit river lanterns." ”

Tianqing got the news and reminded: "Young master, there is a snack on the side, if you are hungry, you can use some." After speaking, he stopped bothering Xiao Yu, quietly retreated, and reported to Prince Zhong.

As soon as Tianqing's front foot left, Xiao Yuan pushed the door in with his back foot, Xiao Yu was immersed in making river lanterns, and did not notice Xiao Yuan's arrival, Xiao Yuan stood on the side for a long time, silent, and only watched Xiao Yu's movements seriously.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yu only felt a little hungry, put down the river lantern in his hand, and saw Xiao Yuan on the side, Xiao Yu asked in surprise: "Big brother, when did you come, why don't I know?" ”

Xiao Yuan hit Xiao Yu's head with a folding fan, and said angrily: "You, you, you're fascinated, I really don't know in your heart, the eldest brother is important or Xie Changan is important!" ”

Xiao Yu scratched his head embarrassedly and whispered: "Big brother, you are as important as Chang'an, and you are both good people to Yu'er." In his heart, Xiao Yuan and Xie Changan are naturally important, and they are both people he likes very much.

Xiao Yuan sighed in his heart, I don't know what kind of charm this Xie Chang'an has, and he has enveloped his ignorant brother's heart, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely meet this Xie Chang'an, it's a pity......

Xiao Yu wiped his hands indiscriminately, picked up the pastry and was about to eat it, Xiao Yuan really couldn't stand it, and said to stop it: "Yu'er, look at your hands, alas, it's so dirty, how can you eat this pastry?" You are like this, Xie Chang will definitely not like it! "Xiao Yuan understands now, Xie Changan is the trump card, as soon as Xie Changan is said, Xiao Yu is obedient.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu threw the pastry to his mouth aside, embarrassedly hid his dirty hands behind him, and got up to clean his hands.

At this time, Prince Zhong listened to Tianqing's reply, and frowned, Xiao Yu made this rabbit river lantern, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be given to Xie Chang'an, but Yu'er's father didn't allow Yu'er to see Xie Chang'an, how can this be good? Alas......

Xiao Yuan is not as sad as Prince Zhong, as long as Xiao Yu is happy, the others don't have to care, after Xiao Yu is full, Xiao Yuan will accompany Xiao Yu to continue to make river lanterns, and from time to time to point out, Xiao Yu is not annoyed, carefully modifying, wanting to make the rabbit river lantern more perfect.

Succeed with flying colors! Xiao Yu looked at the finished rabbit river lantern and smiled, and asked Xiao Yuan with anticipation: "Big brother, do you think Chang'an will like it?" ”

Xiao Yuanwannian's favorite brother replied without thinking: "This is Yu'er's hard work, how can Chang'an not like it?" ”
