Chapter 84: River Lantern Prayer

Coincidentally, Murong Zhao is also wearing a lotus blue robe today, with a jade belt tied around his waist.

The workmanship of the robe is simple, but the dark pattern of Du Ruo embroidered on it is enough to see the meticulousness and sophistication of this brocade robe, which is very valuable.

Yang Qiqi felt that Murong Zhao was born with that kind of graceful and luxurious temperament, and no clothes he wore on his body could stop the extravagance.

No wonder Zhuo Yun innocently commented on Murong Zhao, saying that he was like a god in the sky, and he was not as beautiful as a mortal.

The girls and women walking by the bridge stopped to watch, and the eyes he casually skimmed out made a girl's face flush.

In her previous life, she had heard that Murong Zhao went to swim in the lake, but a girl lost her mind and fell into the lake. At the time, I thought it was pure nonsense, but looking at the current scene, maybe what I said is true.

Murong Zhao and the Nine Emperor Princes Murong Jin and Zhuo Yuqing came over from afar. Everyone said hello, Murong Jin couldn't help but look around, and asked Yang Qiqi, "What about your fifth sister?" ”

The Nine Emperors and Yang Qinghuan are really a pair of beautiful people, Yang Qiqi likes the two of them very much, and replied to Murong Jin's words with a smile: "The fifth sister accompanied Princess Tong'an to visit the temple fair, and we arrived first." ”

Murong Jin said with a smile: "I heard that the seventh brother asked people to mention the royal painting boat, saying that you want to swim in Luoshui. I didn't expect to meet here. ”

Zhang Zongsi listened, and was so busy inviting the Nine Emperors and the others: "The two Highnesses and Prince Zhuo want to go with us?" ”

Murong Jin nodded eagerly, Zhuo Yuqing was obviously indispensable, but Murong Zhao frowned and said, "I have to go back to Yuhang tomorrow, so I won't go to Luoshui, you have fun." ”

Yang Qiqi originally wanted to take this opportunity to get Murong Zhao back from her, but who knew that he would leave?

"When did His Highness Eleventh return to Luoyang?" Yang Qiqi frowned slightly, wanting to stop him.

Murong Zhao replied with a faint smile: "I arrived early this morning, I entered the palace and replied to my father, and I will still go back tomorrow." ”

Yang Qiqi couldn't help but be surprised, "This is also too rushed." Murong Zhao heard this, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he just wanted to speak, but he heard Yang Qiqi open his mouth unhurriedly and ask, "Your Highness Eleven, when will you pay back the food you borrowed from me?" ”

Murong Zhao heard her ask, and almost fell under the bridge. Yang Qiqi didn't seem to see the height of his eyebrows, and a pair of big eyes stared innocently.

Murong Zhao's face was silent, and he was still smiling lightly, "The seventh girl is helping the victims, why don't you send that hundred stone of grain." When I finish this errand, can I give you something else?" ”

Zhuo Yuqing hurriedly reminded him with a smile: "My junior sister is the most calculating master. If you promise something now, you'll have to pay for it then. ”

"What do you mean by disaster relief? Did the seven girls go to the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River to give soup porridge and rice? Zhang Zongsi took advantage of this gap and intervened into the conversation of several people.

Zhuo Yuqing knew that Zhang Zongsi had always been close to His Highness the Thirteenth, and he was afraid that he would talk nonsense in front of His Highness the Thirteenth, so he smiled and said: "No, it was my master who wanted to help the victims and set up a porridge field in the five counties of Jiangnan, just using the people around my junior sister." ”

Zhang Zongsi couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "The seventh girl is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go. ”

Murong Zhao held the folding fan in his hand, turned his head to Murong Jin and said, "Brother Jiu and Cousin Zhuo will swim in the lake with them, I'll go back first." ”

Yang Qiqi was still thinking about returning to Jinlou in her heart, and she was thinking about Murong Zhao's words, whether she should come down.

What does Murong Zhao want when the time comes, is the gold medal order arrow good? However, she didn't rebel, and the gold medal arrow seemed to be useless. Then after Murong Zhao ascends the throne, let him thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Wen family from beginning to end?

Yang Qiqi pondered about this, but he didn't hear Murong Zhao leaving, but even Zhuo Yuqing's jokes and Zhang Zonghe's praise were all listened to with his left ear and his right ear.

Murong Zhao saw Yang Qiqi in a daze indifferently, his eyes couldn't help but be a little gloomy, he didn't say anything more, and walked away.

By the time Yang Qiqi came back to his senses, Murong Zhao had already walked away.

At this time, the Wei family, the Li family, the Seven Princes and others came one after another.

Wei Yufei saw Yang Yuyan and Murong walking side by side, their faces as white as paper. Yang Qiqi looked at her out of the corner of his eye, but when he saw her biting her lip slightly, he immediately pulled out a smile, and he looked happy as if nothing had happened.

Murong Shi saw that Murong Jin was also in the crowd, and he was very surprised: "Ninth Brother and Cousin Zhuo are also there." ”

Zhang Zongsi explained in a timely manner: "I just met His Highness the Ninth and Eleventh Highnesses at the bridgehead. I invited a few people to travel with me. It's just that His Highness Eleventh said that he would return to Yuhang tomorrow, so he went back first. ”

Several girls heard the first half of the sentence, their eyes were full of expectation, and Zhang Zonghei said that he went back, and he didn't feel that he showed a gloomy expression. Murong Shi glanced at Yang Qiqi, and saw that her indifferent face had no expression at all, so he only nodded and smiled: "It's okay, there are a lot of people." ”

After that, everyone boarded the painting boat one after another.

The boat is two stories high, with yellow paint on the top, carved beams and phoenixes on the pillars, and lights on all sides. Stopped by the Luoshui, I don't know how many people attracted the attention of people.

On the second floor of the boat, two tables have been set up, one at the bow and one at the stern. In the middle stands a small platform that is not high, and sits a koto who plays the piano. On the table are all kinds of tea and snacks bought from Guijin Building, the son sits at a table, and the girl sits at a table.

After taking a seat, the painting boat pushed open the blue waves on Luoshui and slowly opened. Qin Ji, who covered her face with a light veil on the boat, played the guqin and sang a little song softly. The singing and piano are particularly graceful.

It was already dark, and people on both sides were releasing lotus lanterns one after another. Some are tied with colored paper, and some are tied with silk yarn. The lotus flowers on it have different postures and colors, and they are illuminated by the candles in the lamp. The painting boat travels slowly, almost following the lotus lanterns on both sides of the riverbank.

There are men and women who put the river lanterns, and Yang Qiqi can't see their faces clearly from afar. I saw only three or three, two or two people by the river. The skirts of the women's light gauze danced in the wind, and the wide sleeves of the men's silk robes were blown by the wind. The water reflects the shadow of the lights, the lights shine brightly, and the lights that flicker and flicker are like stars, like a pair of bright eyes jumping on the blue waves.

Yang Qiqi knows that the river lantern is a kind of mourning, prayer, and many young women and men in the folk will also write love poems in the lotus lantern, begging for a good marriage.

I don't know how many young men and women are carried. Her eyes gradually became very gentle, and she felt that such a scene was beautiful. It's a pity that he has no one to rely on from life to death, from death to life, and Yang Qiqi felt a deep loneliness and sadness from the depths of his heart for the first time.

Seeing her sitting there motionless in a daze, Princess Tong'an couldn't help but ask her, "What are you looking at?" ”

Yang Qiqi only said softly: "I heard that young men and women in the folk put river lanterns, and they will also write poems in the lotus lanterns, praying for a good marriage and expressing their feelings." ”

Young girls are most susceptible to such romantic events. Except for Zhang Yingrou, who is only ten years old and ignorant. Several other girls have reached the year of marriage, and it is the first time I have heard of such words as putting river lanterns to express their feelings. Looking at the scenery on both sides, I have a different mood.

Which girl is not pregnant with spring, everyone on the boat has something to think about, and they all watched silently at this time, and no one spoke.

The man's table was chatting all over the world, and it was very lively. Only Murong Xi didn't say a word, he supported his jaw with his hand, stared at Yang Qiqi with his eyes open, and asked thoughtfully: "You say, what are the people at their girl's table thinking, why don't you say a word." Looking at both sides of the strait, you have to see that the flowers are coming. ”

Murong Shi followed the prestige and saw that Yang Qiqi was also the same as Murong Xi, holding his cheeks, looking at the other side of the river with gentle eyes, and his beautiful eyes were looking forward to it. There is a sense of transcendence and touching. Such a quiet gaze made his heart suddenly move.

The eldest princess of Tong'an shouted in a big way: "Seventh Emperor nephew, have you asked someone to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

Murong Shi hurriedly responded: "It should be prepared, I'll let someone get it for you." ”

After a while, the attendant took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Princess Tong'an took one and took the pen first, but she was a little hesitant, "What should I write?" I never memorized those poems. ”

Yang Qiqi remembered that the eldest princess of Tong'an seemed to be married by the queen mother in her previous life, and married the Wei family of the Duke of Qi, and the son of the Wei family also raised her eyebrows and respected each other, and couldn't help blurting out: "May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night is bright." ”1

Princess Tong'an immediately felt that this sentence was very good, and wrote it with a pen.

The second girl, Yang Yuwan, heard Yang Qiqi's words, suddenly got up, took a pen and ink, and asked playfully: "You say, is it good to 'be lovesick in a straight way, and it is crazy to be melancholy', or is it good to know that you are in love for a long time, and look forward to the sound of the river in the head of the river'?" Or, 'overlapping tears and tears, life is only love and hard to die', and there is, 'he is not born to be a lover, and there is no place in the world to be lovesick'1. ”

She said this in a crackling voice, and stunned a few girls who didn't read poetry, and Wei Yufei's face directly showed a look of disgust.

Yang Qiqi kindly reminded: "Second sister, you have to pray for blessings and marriage, it's not good to choose a miserable poem!" ”

Li Ning, the daughter of the Li family and Mrs. Li's serious niece, heard Yang Qiqi's words, laughed, and said, "It's weird to be depressed when you hear it." ”

At this time, Yang Qinghuan had already finished writing with a pen, and quickly folded what he wrote. The girls discussed what to write, and soon they all decided on it. discussed it again, and the name that couldn't be taken seriously, so they all used their own small characters.

Princess Tong'an had finished writing, and when she saw that everyone else had moved, but Yang Qiqi didn't write anything, she couldn't help but ask Yang Qiqi: "What you said is hilarious, but why don't you use your pen." ”

Yang Qiqi wrote casually in a playful manner: The crowd is looking for him thousands of times, and the letter girl is tolerant. 1

Princess Tong'an was very strange and asked her, "Gone?" ”

Yang Qiqi smiled and said, "It's gone." ”

Princess Tong'an couldn't help but pout, "You are really a completely boring person." ”

Yang Qiqi smiled disappreliantly, and first went to the first floor with Princess Tong'an and Yang Qinghuan.

Murong Xi was stunned for a moment when he saw their table, and couldn't help but get up and follow, and asked Yang Qiqi, "What are you doing here?" ”

Princess Tong'an didn't want him to know, so he said, "You are a big man, what are you going around us." ”

The thirteen princes were a little stupid, silently watching them put the lotus lamp into Luoshui.

Yang Qinghuan took one of Yang Qiqi's hands very thoughtfully and properly at this time, and told her: "You can be careful, although this painting boat is stable, the bow of the boat is short and short, don't fall down." ”

Yang Qiqi hurriedly put the lotus lamp into the water in response to the situation, and quickly got up. Then Yang Yuru, Yang Yuwan, the Li sisters, the Zhang sisters put the lights, and finally Yang Yuyan, Yang Yurao and Wei Yufei.

Princess Tong'an and Yang Qiqi stood on the railing at the stern of the bottom boat, and asked Yang Qiqi what it meant to only write 'everyone is looking for him thousands of degrees', and they heard a few noisy sounds floating from the bow of the boat on the first floor, followed by the sound of falling into the water.

"Oh no, someone fell overboard!"
