Liu Ying asked someone to bring a lot of delicious food to Ruyi, Ruyi took some, and gave the delicious food in his hand to Zhang Yan to eat, "Ah Yan eat." Zhang Yan shook her head. Liu Ying smiled and said that she had eaten a lot of food at night, and now she couldn't eat these things, so she asked Ruyi to take it and eat it. Ruyi sat on the couch and ate dates, ate for a while, as if hearing some lively sound, turned his eyes and turned his head to Liu Ying and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go out of the palace, the lanterns outside are beautiful." (The Lantern Festival began in the early Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties)

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, and immediately pointed to Princess Lu Yuan's inner room to Ruyi, and told Ruyi to be quiet, Zhang Yan in her arms also coaxed, carrying a cute and pleasing little face and saying that she wanted to go out of the palace, she said that when she entered the palace, she saw all kinds of lanterns outside from the carriage, and there were many more people than in the palace. The words of the two villains made Liu Ying also a little moved, pondered for a while, and then instructed the palace people to add an extra dress to Zhang Yan, and when she was looking for clothes for Ruyi, Ruyi said that she was sweating if she was wearing too much, and she refused to wear anything she said, so she went straight out. Hearing that there was movement outside, Princess Lu Yuan came out and saw her younger brother and Zhang Yan Ruyi they were adding clothes, so she asked them where they were going, Ruyi smiled and said nothing, Liu Ying thought quickly, said that she was going to Hongtai to watch the song and dance, and suddenly the interest came and nothing could stop it. Lu Yuan didn't doubt it, and explained that his younger brother must be optimistic about Zhang Yan, she is still young, Liu Ying said that with him, he can't do without Zhang Yan, Lu Yuan joked that his younger brother is so poor. Liu Ying only called two eunuchs to accompany him, and they all changed their clothes and went out of the palace with the prince.

As soon as I came to Chang'an Street, it was very lively, and sure enough, there were many kinds of lanterns here, and there were many people, and there were many laughter. Liu Ying took the two villains through the lively streets, afraid that she would not be able to hold the two villains in her hands, and they had their own joys and sorrows. Ruyi couldn't hold it the most, let go of Liu Ying's hand and ran straight into the crowd and disappeared, Liu Ying, who was anxious and worried, picked up Zhang Yan and hurriedly looked for Ruyi, and the two eunuchs also hurriedly looked for it. In the end, I found the silly Ruyi in a circle of people dancing the mask dance, and I was applauding the mask dance, not feeling that I had broken away from my brother. Liu Ying found him and wanted to reprimand him a few words, but before he could speak, Ruyi smiled and raised his little finger to show Liu Ying the person who danced the mask dance, and said that the mask dance they danced was the most beautiful, and he had time to learn from them. Liu Ying was about to criticize him for running away blindly, but when the words came to his mouth, Ruyi looked uninterested again, so he pulled up the corner of Liu Ying's clothes and withdrew, Liu Ying shook her head helplessly, she couldn't even talk to Ruyi, Ruyi's spirit was too big, and she wasn't tired at all, but she was tired enough to choke Liu Ying. Liu Ying grabbed Ruyi, pulled one with one hand, pulled Ruyi with her left hand, and pulled Zhang Yan with her right hand, and the two eunuchs followed behind to protect them. Walk straight along Chang'an Avenue, along the road are bright lanterns and cow-shaped stoves, if you feel cold, you can squat down by the stove to roast your hands to keep warm, Ruyi did not eat too much dinner, at this time the stomach is hungry and croaking. Covering her stomach and looking at Liu Ying, Liu Ying smiled, and walked a short distance with Ruyi and Zhang Yan before she saw a stall selling rice cakes, Ruyi drooled when she saw it, and without waiting for Liu Ying to call the stall owner, Ruyi walked to the rice cake and grabbed a piece to eat, and the two eunuchs hurriedly paid money to the stall owner out of their pockets. Ruyi gave Zhang Yan rice cakes again, "Ah Yan eat, the rice cakes here are better than those in the palace." He took a piece and handed it to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan looked at it, licked her lips, and kept staring at the rice cake, but she wasn't sure if she would eat it or not, maybe she suspected that this little uncle didn't have a score. Liu Ying took the rice cake handed by Ruyi to Zhang Yan, leaned over and said, "Uncle Ruyi gave it, eat it, don't you like Chang'an's rice cakes very much?" ”

Zhang Yan said 'um', picked up the rice cake to eat, and said to Ruyi, "Thank you, Uncle Ruyi." ”

Ruyi smiled happily, ate a mouthful, and said to Zhang Yan with a mouth stuffed with rice cakes, "Ah Yan can tell your uncle what you want to eat, and your uncle will get it for you." The two eunuchs who accompanied him secretly laughed, Liu Ying laughed even more, and felt that Ruyi was indeed very much like their common emperor father, uninhibited, whatever he liked, whatever he liked, and what he liked, the smile on Liu Ying's face was a little more indifferent.

When you are full, you will go forward, and there is the best lantern on a handrail bridge, and there is a strip of cloth hanging on the lantern, which is a lantern riddle, a lot of lantern riddles. Liu Ying and the others guessed some, and finally felt bored and stopped playing, and watched the dragon dance in a crowd. I watched the lanterns on the street, guessed the riddles, watched the dragon dance, ate rice cakes, walked through the crowd, saw the simple people, and played with the small stalls of the candy sellers. Walking forward again, a merchant sold gold hairpins and silver hairpins. Ruyi said to buy one for Zhang Yan, Liu Ying really thought Ruyi was cute, saying that Zhang Yan was still young, and she hadn't done the etiquette yet, so she didn't need these things. Ruyi said that she wanted to buy one for her mother, Liu Ying allowed it, touched Ruyi's little head and smiled, Ruyi picked a gilded cuiyun step hairpin, and asked Liu Ying very happily to see if it was good, Liu Ying nodded straight, she really liked Ruyi's innocence and cuteness. Seeing that Ruyi was so filial to her mother, Liu Ying also felt that it was necessary to buy one for the queen mother, so she also picked it up, found an extremely delicate phoenix crown hairpin in her hand and looked at it with satisfaction, and the eunuch gave the money. Liu Ying took Ruyi and Zhang Yan away again, looked back at the stall again, and wanted to buy one for Jing Tian in her heart, but she was afraid that Ruyi would find out that Jing Tian was wearing something she bought, and she was afraid that Jing Tian would find out her identity, so she thought twice and finally didn't buy it, thinking that it would always be better to make a delicate ornament for her in the future than to buy it on the street. It took a long time to come out, and the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, thinking that the night banquet in the palace should also end, and if the queen mother and Qi Ji returned to the palace, they would definitely look for them upside down. Liu Ying asked Ruyi to go back, Ruyi was still unsatisfied and wanted to play for a while, Liu Ying lied that the night banquet in the palace had already ended, and the palace gate would be closed if she didn't go back, so Ruyi pouted and followed Liu Ying back with displeasure. As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I saw a group of ministers drunk and drunk, and they still shouted to drink and drink again, claiming that they were immortals in wine, and they were not drunk in a thousand cups.

Liu Ying stopped and waited for them to pass before going back. Suddenly, a person in the crowd walked towards him, and seeing that he was not drunk, this person came to Liu Ying and bowed his hand, "Your Highness." ”

The prince returned the salute, feeling familiar but unable to remember the name of this person, stared at this person and thought about it, and finally suddenly remembered it and gave it up again, "Gong Liu." "This person is Liu Jing, who came to participate in the night banquet at the emperor's behest, and now the night banquet is over, he is not a person who likes to drink alcohol, nor is he a person who likes singing and dancing, and he is boring to watch but he does not dare to leave the table in advance, so he has to wait until the emperor leaves first, and everyone leaves the table.

Liu Jing said, "Some time ago, I really had important things to see His Highness, but I was too busy to take a break. I thought that the prince would be on the seat today, but I didn't see it, thinking that I was afraid that today's opportunity would be given up again, but I didn't expect to see it outside the palace. ”

The prince also said that he was busy the day before yesterday, and his studies were very tight, and he fell into the water and got sick, so he couldn't see him. In fact, both of them understand that it is not suitable to meet alone, and now they have their own reasons for superficial rhetoric. After some rhetoric, Liu Jing cautiously looked around, handed over a small cloth in the loose sleeves to the prince, the prince looked at Liu Jing suspiciously, Liu Jing only said that it was when he sent the princess of Long'an to the Huns that day, Liu Lu handed it over to him halfway, saying that he must hand it over to the prince himself, and he must not be known to the third party, Liu Jing asked the prince to go back to the palace to watch carefully. Liu Ying was puzzled and hurriedly took Ruyi and Zhang Yan back to the palace, at this time the banquet had dispersed, and the palace people cleaned up. The two eunuchs personally sent Ruyi back to the Yuzao Palace. He sent Zhang Yan back to Changxin Palace, at this time Lu Yuanzheng and his mother said that his younger brother took Zhang Yan and Ruyi to Hongtai to watch the song and dance, why didn't they come back together, Lu Hou said that he didn't see the three of them. Empress Lu hurriedly ordered someone to look for it, and Liu Ying came back with Zhang Yan. Seeing the prince and Zhang Yan come back with red cheeks, Empress Lu hurriedly asked where they went, Liu Ying didn't speak, Zhang Yan said happily first, "The two uncles took Ah Yan out of the palace to see the lanterns, it's fun." Liu Ying swallowed her saliva and glanced at Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan stuck out her tongue at him, this girl betrayed herself.

Liu Ying carefully observed her mother's expression and put one hand on Zhang Yan's shoulder. Empress Lu was afraid, and some blamed the prince for not going out recklessly, especially when he went out of the palace at night, and it was in the bustling crowd, what should I do if something happened, saying that the prince was not in good health, and coughed again...... Lu Hou was worried a lot. Liu Ying also adhered to the queen mother like wishful thinking at this time, and handed the phoenix crown hairpin in her sleeve to Queen Lu, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, my son remembers." ”

Empress Lu wanted to continue to count him, but he took out a hairpin to gag his mouth, for the sake of the prince who had the heart to buy a hairpin for himself, Empress Lu looked at his son with concern, "It's not impossible to leave the palace, you have to tell the queen mother, let the queen mother know your whereabouts." ”

Liu Ying smiled and nodded, saying that she would never dare in the future. Empress Lu asked the prince to insert the hairpin into her bun, Liu Ying found a place to plug it in, and asked her sister to come and see, Lu Yuan also thought it looked good, saying that her mother was not old at all, and she should dress up more to be more like a fairy, and Empress Lu could hear this and laugh. It was late at night, and after talking for a while, Liu Ying also went back.

Ichthyamo Palace.

As soon as Ruyi entered the door, he saw his father and mother sitting sullenly on the couch with black faces, waiting for him to come back. Ruyi didn't dare to enter the door, waited for a long time before he went in, and wanted to go back to his bedroom directly behind his little hand, but he was stopped by Mrs. Qi as soon as he inserted it into the hall, "Come here." Ruyi herself was at fault, and as soon as Qi Ji screamed, she obediently went over and stood there, lowering her head and not daring to look at her mother. When Liu Bang looked at him, he wanted to laugh at first, but Qi Ji said that he wanted him to accompany him to manage Ruyi well, so he held back.

"Where did you go?" Qi Ji asked.

Ruyi's eyes purred, and he glanced at his mother, and said in a low voice, "Go out of the palace with my brother to see the lanterns." ”

"How do you usually teach you? Why don't you tell your mother? Qi Ji continued to ask with a black face.

Ruyi paused for a moment and then muttered again, "Tell you, can I still go out?" ”

Qi Ji was so angry that she knew the word 'you', and bit her lip angrily and shook Liu Bang's arm to ask the emperor to take care of Ruyi's poor mouth. Liu Bang also pretended to be stern, and said with a calm face, "You are not allowed to go out without permission in the future, do you hear?" How did you get so naughty? ”

"My father is also very naughty, my mother said it." Ruyi has always been not afraid of his father, but it is much easier to meet his father's face, and he laughed. Mrs. Qi was so shocked that she glanced at Ruyi, who said everything, and then glanced at Liu Bang and lowered her head. Liu Bang raised his eyebrows in embarrassment, and then handed Ruyi a look, telling him to pay attention to the fact that his mother was still next to him, and Ruyi lowered his head again and responded in a low voice, "Brother go out, I'll go out." ”

Liu Bang and Qi Ji glanced at each other and were speechless for a while. Ruyi took out a gilded cuiyunbu hairpin from his sleeve and gave it to his mother's relatives and wives, Qi Ji and Liu Bang were stunned, this young baby actually knows how to honor his mother. Qi Ji was stunned and didn't know what to say, her anger at Ruyi had long since disappeared, but there was a stream of heat and emotion in her heart, for the first time in her life, Ruyi bought something for herself, and she bought it so appropriately, Qi Ji laughed happily. Liu Bang scratched Ruyi's little nose, smiled, and asked Ruyi to put Qi Ji in a bun. Qi Ji smiled and asked Liu Bang if the place where the flower hairpin was arranged was good-looking, and Liu Bang smiled and said that his son gave it, no matter how ugly it was, it was good-looking. Qi Ji smiled, and then happily hugged Ruyi in her arms and kissed her again and again, and said again and again, "Mother's good baby, Mother's good Ruyi." ”
