、、、、、、、、、、

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor has feasted all the ministers of the court and the central government in the palace, and the whole country celebrates the New Year, Ningcheng is full of bustling and prosperous, the lights are bright and the moon is bright, the sheng songs are noisy, all kinds of lanterns, the colorful light is swaying, and all the people are happy tightly.

Qi Zhen has never liked these scenes, but he can't shirk it, he actually wants to stay in the room quietly with Chu Jian and talk, asking him to watch those usually dignified court officials get drunk and reveal their original gaffes, which is really a kind of torture.

Those officials in the court did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Qi Zhen, they all knew Qi Zhen's character, so Qi Zhen sat silently on the side alone, watching the toast with everyone instead of the emperor, cup after cup, and before the banquet was over, he was drunk.

The emperor knew in his heart that Qi Zhen didn't like this kind of scene, so he asked him to send it back.

In the gorgeous carriage, leaning against the wall of the carriage, his eyes closed and silent, but his eyebrows were tightly knit, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When the carriage left the palace, the sound of rolling and turning, the piercing sound of firecrackers, and the singing of silk music all turned into a continuous river and poured into people's ears.

Lift the curtain of the car, open your eyes slightly, drunk and foggy, there is unspeakable loneliness and loneliness, as well as hidden deep thoughts and pain.

"If you don't go home, just walk down the street." Looking at the lights outside the city like silver, bitterness welled up in my throat.

Xu Guifei was given white silk by his father, and the Nine Emperor brothers were exiled to the frontier, his position was no longer threatened, and he could finally rest assured and wait to be the king of his country.

But what was left of him but this high position?

Back then, in order to consolidate his position and win over power, he married Qi Jin, although he had no love for her in his heart, but after five years of husband and wife, it was not that he didn't feel it at all, and later he knew that she was concerned about Chun Yuyan, he didn't want to let go of her, but he couldn't, he could only use her to restrain Chun Yuyan.

Meet Cui Yin again......

For the first time, he tasted the bitterness and sweetness of love.

He knew that this was a catastrophe that would never be recovered, but as soon as he saw him, he couldn't help it, and wanted to take Cui Yin for himself and not let anyone know his beauty.

He didn't even allow Cui Yin to touch his concubine.

However, this peerless elegance made him try love for the first time, but he abandoned him.

He didn't protect Cui Yin! For the sake of power, he even sacrificed the person he loved the most.

Sound......

Qi Zhen looked at the eyes that were getting more and more misty, sighed secretly in his heart, lifted the curtain of the car, got out of the car, and sat with the little guy who was driving the car, leaving one person in the car to face his vulnerability.

Not long after, there was a faint sound like sobbing in the car, the sound was very low, almost drowned out by the joyful singing and firecrackers.

Probably only Qi Zhen could hear it, and the voice was full of longing and painful sobbing.

Qi Zhen couldn't help but think that if he lost his first sight, the pain would probably be several times deeper than now, and he didn't dare to imagine that day.

I don't know how long the carriage has been walking around the streets of Ningcheng, and Qi Zhen has already begun to miss the first meeting.

The curtain of the car was suddenly pulled up, and a cold face appeared behind Qi Zhen.

Qi Zhen glanced at him, except for the fact that his eyes were a little red, he seemed to have returned to normal.

"Send the prince home!" The voice is a little hoarse.

Qi Zhen smiled at him slightly, and the two looked at the noisy crowd in the distance with a tacit understanding.

The time flies, and before you know it, the New Year has passed.

In the palace, the remnants of the festive atmosphere are still there, and after the first meeting, after the New Year, they began to really manage the house, and the housekeepers and housekeepers in the palace all went to the first time to see here, and no longer went to Aunt Du's place.

When she first saw her, she didn't think that things would go so smoothly, she thought that Aunt Du must have played some trick to make her unable to take care of the family's affairs so quickly, for now, everything is going well for her, and she really can't see that there is anything wrong with Aunt Du.

However, the reason why Chujian was able to get the approval of the housekeepers in the palace so quickly was mostly related to her identity as the head of the palace.

Most of the stewards in the palace are old housekeepers, all of whom are loyal servants to the prince, and naturally regard the princess as their real master, which is different from when they treat Aunt Du.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and I asked the housekeepers to arrange tonight's duty for the first time, and then let the maids take turns to go out to see the lanterns.

Those mothers in charge were a little surprised, the princess was so good to the maids, but Aunt Du was not so generous before.

Sure enough, the lord is the lord, and the concubine is the concubine, and it is not the same in the end.

The steward's mother left with a happy face.

"Princess, let the maids in the house go out to see the lanterns, will you be indulgent?" Xia Yu asked in a low voice with some uncertainty about the first meeting.

"Arrange shifts, just guard the door, the lantern festival is only once a year, these girls should also go out to play." I smiled at first sight, people need to rest, although there are no weekends here, but it's a holiday, so they must all be happy.

"That'...... Is the princess going to see the lanterns tonight? Zi Yao asked cautiously on the side, her tone a little expectant.

Chujian chuckled, and glanced up at Zi Yao and Lingyu, these two girls were really looking at her with bubbles in their eyes, "Go, you guys go and prepare, and go after dinner tonight." ”

Lingyu and Ziyao cheered, I heard that this year's lanterns are even more beautiful than before, and it is the most prosperous year.

Xia Yu shook her head with a smile, and continued to look down at the account book, frowning as she looked at it, "Princess, there is really no problem with the account book sent by Aunt Du. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice if there were no problems?" At first sight, I was looking at the harvest of each season of each village at home, well, it seems that the income of the palace is still very considerable, and the harvest of each village every quarter and the monthly income of the shop are a lot of silver.

"But, don't you think it's strange, Princess? Is it true that someone like Aunt Du is in charge of the house? In the past few years, the account books and slaves have been corrected, and there is really no problem at all. Xia Yu didn't believe that Aunt Du really hadn't been greedy over the years.

"How can you see the problem so quickly, you also underestimate others." Chu Jian smiled and glanced at Xia Yu, she naturally didn't have ten percent confidence and confidence in Aunt Du, she would definitely have no problem, but it was because she couldn't see any problem that she felt that she should not be despised at first sight.

Xia Yu put away the account book and clenched her fists, "The slave will definitely find out!" ”

Chu Jian smiled and handed a red book to Xia Yu, "Take an inventory and see how many silver taels are placed in our house?" ”

Xia Yu took the book, looked around, and whispered to Chu Jian, "Princess, the slave really didn't expect the palace to be so rich, you see, there are a lot of antiques and treasures that the emperor has rewarded the prince, and many of them are still priceless." ”

Chu Jian glanced at Xia Yu, "Do you think that only businessmen are rich?" ”

Being an official is not only several times higher than a businessman, but also the private property of the family, which is not comparable to any ordinary businessman.

"Of course the slave wouldn't think so." Xia Yu exclaimed in a low voice.

Chu Jian smiled, "You do the math, we'll go to the silver horn in a few days, right, if you can't finish the calculation, we'll count it tomorrow, let's go see the lanterns together tonight." ”

"What kind of lanterns are you looking at?" Seeing the words for the first time, Qi Zhen strode in with a smile on his face.

Chu Jian got up and greeted him, "Today is the Lantern Festival, isn't there a lantern on the street?" I asked the maids in the house who had nothing to do at night to go and see. ”

"You want to go too?" Qi Zhen leaned his face on Hatsumi's shoulder, and wrapped his big hand around her waist, how did he feel that Hatsumi seemed to have grown a lot plump recently, well, it felt much better when he hugged it, unlike before, he was afraid that he would break her with one force.

"Yes, let's go and have a look with Lingyu, I heard that this year's one is particularly beautiful." Chujian pushed him, and when he saw that he didn't move, he held him, I really couldn't understand why he liked to stick to her so much as soon as he came back.

"I'll go with you." Qi Zhen thought about it and muttered.

Chu Jian smiled and said, "A few girls go to see the lanterns, what are you going to do with a big man?" ”

Qi Zhen glared at her, as if he was a little ...... The pitiful and abandoned eyes saw a tingling of the scalp at first sight, "They shop theirs, I'll go with you and our own." ”

At first sight, she was speechless, so she had to nod and agree, she didn't seem to have gone out on a date with Qi Zhen yet, so it was not bad to go on a date.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing her distracted smile, Qi Zhen suddenly asked.

The first time I saw him, he glanced at him, "You're stupid!" ”

Qi Zhen scratched her nose lightly or heavily, "Who are you talking about stupidly?" ”

Chujian smiled and tugged at his ears, "Qi Zhen is stupid, just say you, stupid!" ”

"Looks like you're really itching!" Qi Zhen laughed and reached out to scratch Hatsumi's most sensitive side waist, which frightened Hatsumi and screamed, begging for mercy again and again.

Xia Yuzhen felt that she was similar to the floor gauze lamp, it was an ornament! She watched the princess and the princess playing with such high spirits, how could she say that she was going to retreat at this time?

Of course, she wanted to retreat quietly, but the princess and the princess were blocking the door!

Listen to the princess and the princess that are almost ...... Naive conversation, Xia Yu felt that her lungs would one day have a problem.

Finally, the princess finally remembered that there was such an inconspicuous knick-knack as her in the house, and Xia Yu was so grateful that she almost burst into tears.

After dinner, when they first saw their group, they went out in high spirits, but they were so excited that they forgot that there was such a person as Fang'er in the house, until they left the courtyard, and no one noticed Fang'er who was standing in the shadows and watching them leave.

Not long after seeing them leave, a person quietly came to Xinyuan, found Fang'er, whispered a few words to Fang'er, and the two left together.

The direction I walked in was Aunt Du's courtyard.

Let's say that after seeing them for the first time and coming to the lantern street, the first time they saw them, they let a few girls play separately, and they didn't have to follow them, the girls were not very relieved, but with the prince by the princess's side, there would be nothing to do, so they went together and agreed to gather the time in the place.

These surnames of Ningcheng, born in a wealthy family, have plenty of food and clothing, and the outside scenery usually does not move his heart. But I am happy to meet an idle moon festival, the street lights are full of lights outside, and even Mo Sheng's songs, which one can not be tempted? The women of the rich and noble families, the girls of the small families, all rushed to watch and play.

If the old or the young, if the man or the woman on the street, they play back and forth, which is lively. This sister took the aunt, the mother made an appointment with the mother, the girl from the east held the hand of the girl from the west, and passed by the first time she saw them, and saw Qi Qi such a handsome man, so she made a lot of romances, which did not attract the slightest attention of Qi Zhen, but attracted the prince and grandson on the street, the ranger was young and thin-tongued, ** funny.

Qi Zhen was only concerned about protecting Chujian from being bumped into by the crowd, and he was unaware of all the incense coaxing around him, he said in her ear, "There are a lot of people here, let's go see it elsewhere?" ”

When I first saw me standing on tiptoe and looking around, indeed, how could I see any lanterns here except human heads or human heads.

"There are fewer people over there, let's go over!" Qi Zhen took her hand and turned to walk back.

The flow of people suddenly rushed up, and the hands clenched by Hatsumi and Qi Qi were separated by collision.

"Qi Zhen!" Startled at first sight, she was squeezed away by the crowd several steps away, and she called out to Qi Zhen in a little panic.

In the blink of an eye, her heart suddenly paused, it was......

The palm of his hand was stuffed into a note, and the familiar face that had been full of vicissitudes disappeared into the crowd at first sight.

"First Meeting!" Qi Zhen had already come to her side, and he hugged her tightly with a sigh of relief.

Hatsumi glanced up at Qi Zhen and smiled at him, his palms tightened, and he was sweating.

Without leaving a trace, she put the note in her arms and admired the lantern with Qi Zhen again.

It's just that it's already absent-minded.

Qin Zhen ...... Is she already in Ningcheng?

"What's wrong? Isn't it pretty? Then let's go somewhere else. Qi Zhen noticed the distraction at the first sight, and raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was because he didn't like to look at these lanterns at the first sight.

When I first saw it, I looked up, and the flower platform surrounded by five-colored glazed glass was densely beaded, and the figures of people were shaking and moving, and there were pipa girls singing on the stage.

The carriages and horses are welcomed, the sheng songs are sent, and the end is endless all night. No matter what leaks the pot of copper, the age of the ordinary year, the Lantern Festival, music and folk......

The singing voice is sweet, the sound of the pipa is continuous and graceful, and the surrounding light is shaken heavily.

"It's so pretty!" I couldn't help but sigh at first sight.

Yes, now is a peaceful and prosperous era, so there is such prosperity and such peaceful joy.

She was glad that the world had not been displaced by the rebellion that had preceded her.

"These are lanterns of birds and beasts, and there are other styles underneath." Seeing the first meeting, it seemed that he had already become interested, and Qi Zhen was also in a cheerful mood.

He Qi Zhen went around other places again, Chu Jian always thought about the note Qin Zhen gave her just now, and the mood of admiring the lanterns became not very enthusiastic, and the crowd was crowded, and there were all kinds of rouge smells in the air, Chu Jian finally couldn't stand it, and asked to go to the carriage and wait for a few maids to come back.

Qi Zhen glanced at the first meeting with some concern, and felt that her face didn't seem to look very good, "Are you tired?" ”

Hatsumi said, "Maybe a little." She felt that the air was a little stuffy, so depressed that she wanted to vomit.

When they came to the place where the carriage was parked, Lingyu and the girls had already returned, and when they saw the first time they came back, they chattered about what they had seen and heard, and bought several interesting little things.

When I returned to the palace, I saw that Qi Zhen didn't pay attention to it and read the note, which only had one address on it.

The place was familiar at first sight.

After reading it, Hatsumi threw the note into the stove and burned it to ashes.

Does Qin Zhen want to ask her to meet? Why was it just an address and nothing was mentioned? Could it be that she has already seen Chun Yuyan?

Chun Yu Yan ...... Where exactly is Ningcheng?

The next day, after Qi Yu went out, he called Lingyu for the first time, saying that he was going to go outside to see the shop, and Ziyao helped Xia Yu settle the account books.

After getting into the carriage, Lingyu found that the princess seemed to be preoccupied.

"Princess, where shall we go first?" Lingyu asked cautiously.

At first sight, his eyes moved, "Go to the beauty shop on the main street." ”

After arriving at the beauty shop, the first time I saw it, I didn't stay long, just said a few words to the shopkeeper in the storefront, and then I used the excuse that I wanted to rest, so I asked the little guy who was driving the car to go back first, and then come to pick them up in the afternoon.

When she first saw them enter the backyard, she didn't go to the wing room to rest, but wanted to go directly to the back door, Lingyu still had doubts in her heart, and after opening the back door, she was even more stunned.

"Zi Yao, why are you here?" Lingyu exclaimed.

Zi Yao smiled and looked at the first meeting.

Chu Jian said to Lingyu, "Lingyu, I'm going to see someone, you are here to block me, Zi Yao can accompany me." ”

Lingyu looked at the first meeting, then at Zi Yao, and nodded, "Princess, don't worry, Lingyu will deal with it carefully." ”

Chu Jian took a deep look at Lingyu, and then left together in the carriage driven by Zi Yao.

After the carriage left the alley, it was to go to Jingrongzhai, which was quite famous in the past, and now only the ruins remain.

It looks familiar and strange now.

Xiao was so desolate that the first time I saw it, I couldn't help but feel a little bleak sadness.

"The second girl is really here!" Qin Zhen's special hoarse voice came from behind Chujian not long after he stepped into Jingrong Zhai.

Chu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and smiled at Qin Zhen, "Mr. Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Can I still be a gentleman for you?" Qin Zhen's tone was self-deprecating, but also helpless and bitter.

"A teacher for one day and a teacher for life, no matter when, Mr. is the first time I see him." Hatsumi whispered.

"I'm like this today, and it's completely thanks to your husband, aren't you afraid that I will kill you to take revenge?" Qin Zhen's eyes sharpened, and he stared coldly at the first meeting.

Chumi smiled lightly, "If Mr. really wants to kill me, why wait until today?" The reason why Mr. is like this is not because of the prince, doesn't Mr. feel ...... If you are flat today, and your surname is settled and happy, no matter who is in charge of the country, is it the same? ”

"This country was originally our family!" Qin Zhen sneered.

"Whoever can give a stable life to the surname is the best king, and this country belongs to the surname, not to whom." Hatsumi shook his head and sighed.

"The insights of the first time are always refreshing." The warm and mellow voice sounded slowly, and at first I saw a shock, and I looked sideways.

That person, dressed in white and elegant, has a gentle smile, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"......"

...
