During the Lantern Festival, the downtown area of the capital is brightly lit, the streets are full of hawkers, the red lanterns are hung up, the tourists who guess the riddle are endless, and the whole street is lively and extraordinary.

The men and women on the street walked together, all wearing different masks on their faces, and An Le touched the noble and majestic queen's mask on her face, she felt that she was a few years older.

This was bought by her cousin Ye Shu, but thinking of Ye Shu, An Le frowned and frowned the thin eyebrows hidden behind the mask, and the two of them separated in front of the downtown area.

An Le searched around, and suddenly her eyes fell on the tall figure in front of her, and she hurriedly walked over and reached out to lift the mask on his face.

In an instant, a cold and sparse face appeared in front of An Le's eyes.

He was lifted from his mask, and his eyes were slightly stunned, but he came back to his senses in an instant, and her reflection was in those dark and deep eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of the whole downtown was gone, and she could only see his face, and everything around him seemed to be in the background, and she could only see him.

"Girl, but did you recognize the wrong person?" His deep voice was magnetic and gentle, but it suddenly woke up her world.

An Le's cheeks, hidden behind the mask, suddenly turned red, and he felt that the way he had just been so reckless was simply abrupt.

Fortunately, there was still a mask covering her face, so he didn't let him see her embarrassment, and An Le suddenly thought of it with some joy.

"It's really rude, this son, I was abrupt." An Le said, bowing slightly.

"No problem." The man whispered, raising his hand to straighten the mask on his face.

An Le found out that he had a pair of extremely good-looking hands, with distinct finger bones, her eyes were fixed on his hands, and the heat on her face became hotter and hotter.

After the man finished speaking, she turned and walked away, An Le instinctively grabbed his sleeve, and her little white hand gripped his sleeve tightly, as if he would disappear as soon as he relaxed.

She raised her little face, even though the big mask covered her beautiful little face, but the pair of clear eyes exposed outside looked at him with a deep look.

"Wait a minute." An Le's voice said eagerly: "I, I am separated from my family, I am lost. ”

The man didn't speak, and the mask on his face looked indifferent and arrogant, as if he was asking what this had to do with him?

An Le bit his lip, and his eyes were stained with a layer of pleading: "I, I've never been out of the door, this is the first time I've ......"

The man was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The girl who went out alone for the first time has the courage to unmask a stranger, should I praise the girl for her courage?" ”

An Le blushed angrily, this time she was angry, in the environment she lived in, no one would ever talk to her so maliciously, he was the first.

She thought with some annoyance, why was she so stingy, she didn't mean it, he was a man, and he was so calculating with a girl, he really had such a good skin for nothing.

“…… I ......"

"Where is your home?" The man asked.

An Le was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately abandoned the idea that he was a bad person, thinking that he was just cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but he was actually a good person.

"My family...... My family lives on Zhengyang Street. An Le paused, and then said.

The man nodded coldly, turned around and left, and then found that her hand was still grabbing her sleeve, so he raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "What? Not leaving? ”

"Ah, go, go." An Le nodded repeatedly.

The man's upbringing is excellent, walking in front, two or three steps away from her, it can be regarded as avoiding suspicion, and it is always bad to comb the hair of an unmarried woman and walk with an adult man.

An Le noticed his carefulness, pursed the corners of her lips, and secretly raised her head to look at the person walking beside her, only then did she realize that he was very tall, although his figure was thin, but his back was very straight.

When there are many people, he will also protect her intimately and walk in a crowded place by himself, just such a protective action, but it makes An Le, who has been cared for since childhood, feel happy.

"Zhengyang Street has arrived." The man in front of him suddenly stopped, glanced back at him, and the dark eyes behind the mask were exceptionally bright: "The girl should be able to find her way home, so I'll leave first." ”

The girl who was sent home by a strange man was afraid that she would be harshly criticized by her elders.

Yes? Arrived?

An Le was stunned for a moment, and couldn't get enough of it, why did he arrive so quickly?

"Wait a minute," An Le hurriedly said, "I don't know the name of the son, I will repay the son another day." ”

"Not necessarily." He said in a cold voice, and turned around with a slight bow.

An Le looked at his distant back, his eyes shining.

The door behind An Le opened, and a middle-aged couple dressed in luxurious clothes hurriedly walked out of it, and when they saw An Le, they greeted him.

"Princess, the old minister meets the princess!" The man at the head is the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ye Zhengming, who is also An Le's uncle.

An Le reluctantly withdrew his gaze, glanced at Ye Zhengming with some interest, and said weakly: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, it's all his own family." ”

Ye Zhengming was not polite, he stood up, looked at An Le anxiously and said, "Why did the princess come out alone?" Does the emperor know? Why don't you have anyone around? ”

"I'll take it, I'll come out with my cousin," An Le said, not betraying Ye Shu's consciousness at all: "But we got separated." As she spoke, she smiled at Ye Zhengming embarrassedly.

Ye Zhengming immediately shifted the target: "This stinky boy, see how I clean him up when he comes back...... How can you take the princess to be so foolish! After a pause, he looked at An Le and said softly, "The princess must be tired, so go in and rest." ”

An Le glanced at the man's immediate direction, and could no longer see his figure, she answered listlessly and followed in.
