Song Ran walked on top of the crowded night market with vain steps.

Everywhere, you can see women with blue and white cloth tied around their waists changing soup and pouring wine for wine customers, and there are also some handicraftsmen selling crispy honey food, sand dumplings, honey fried carved flowers and so on on on the street.

Out of the Anfeng Gate, from the Suzaku Bridge to the south, are all wine shops tile market, there are more than 50 brothels in the east, there are fruit shops, incense medicine shops in the south, after the Ruyi Building, there is a side street leading to the Jokhang Temple, the incense car BMW comes and goes endlessly, day and night, a lively scene.

When Song Ran first arrived in Ling'an, he often wandered around this area, eating, listening to music, and occasionally strolling around calligraphy and painting treasures, but before he knew it, he had arrived at dusk.

Sometimes she dressed up as a man and passed by the Qinglou Painting Pavilion, and there would be girls lying by the window and beckoning to her.

She unconsciously stopped, and the lights and candles were shining everywhere, and all kinds of sounds poured straight into her ears.

Why can't such a big Ling'an City accommodate her?

Perhaps, it's not that Ling'an City can't tolerate her, it's that his side can't accommodate her.

When the bell rang behind her, she ducked to the side, her eyes following the ox cart, and gradually merging into the bustling city.

Shen Hanxi followed behind her, saw her suddenly raise her hand, pointed to a place, and said, "My lord, I want to go there to see the night view." ”

Looking along her slender fingers, it was the distant tower of Fengyang Gate.

Fengyang Gate is the emperor's royal road to travel, people and horses are not allowed to pass, the city tower can not be climbed for no reason, every year only Shangyuan Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor and queen will bring hundreds of officials to climb the building, watch the lanterns and enjoy the moon.

Shen Hanxi heard her willful request, but he didn't blink his eyes, and said, "You are obedient, I will take you to see it." ”

It's just that he was scolded a few more words by those officials, what is he afraid of?

She smiled: "Haven't I always been very well-behaved?" After that, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and let him hold it.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Shen Hanxi heard a cat meow, his eyes drooped, and he saw the orange fat cat squatting at his feet. Amber eyes, pupils thin into a line, were looking at him warily.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in disgust: "Where did the cat come from?" ”

Song Ran said: "I came from Master Xiao's house." My lord, let's stop at the fish market in front of us. ”

His expression immediately sank, and his voice was cold: "Xiao Yan's cat, aren't you afraid that the official will throw it down?" ”

The cat seemed to understand human nature, and when she heard this, she jumped onto Song Ran's lap and barked coquettishly twice.

She looked at him: "My lord has a holiday with Lord Xiao, what is the same animal about?" ”

Shen Hanxi saw that she had protected the cat preciously between her sleeves, her expression became more and more unkind, and she couldn't really make a living with the same animal, so she could only sarcastically relieve the master's anger: "Lord Xiao is famous for his poverty in Beijing, and he only pointed to the little money and silver that the court issued to him, but he was afraid that he couldn't even afford to raise the people in the house, and the silver saved between his teeth was very willing to spend on this little beast." ”

Song Ran followed the cat's fur, as if he was careless, but he seemed to mean something: "Lord Xiao's sleeves are breezy, and he can't match your grace and wealth." However, it's good that there are no messy external objects in my heart. Some people are full of gold and jade, and they can squander it vigorously, but whether they can fall asleep at night is another matter, and no one knows what kind of dreams they will have when they fall asleep. ”

Shen Hanxi squinted: "Miss Song is a little more bold today. ”

dared to say good things about Xiao Yan in front of him, and dared to mock him like this. Doesn't that mean that his family property is not visible?

She was very relieved: "Wine is strong and cowardly, even if you are dragged to kill tomorrow, it is worth it to be addicted to your mouth in front of you today." ”

She has always been accustomed to using honorific titles for him, and she can't change it to this day, it doesn't matter if she can't change it, he lets her go, but she really can't get used to hearing her talk about "killing heads".

Ignoring his unkind gaze, she lifted the side curtain to let the night breeze blow in.

She drank a lot of wine today, and she was hot all over.

"My lord, the fish market is over."

"With such a fat cat, it's okay to be hungry for a day."

He really wanted to be angry with the same cat, and she couldn't help it, seeing the carriage drive past the south gate of Taichang Temple, getting closer and closer to the castle tower.

When she jumped out of the carriage, her steps were slightly unsteady, and he helped her up, her eyebrows were still cold: "Leave the cat in the car, it's an eyesore." ”

She had no choice but to put the cat in her arms back into the carriage, close the door, and follow him towards the castle tower.

The city tower is brightly lit, there is a gate army on duty, and there are Xuanjia guards on the city tower to inspect. When the guard on duty noticed the uninvited guest, he stepped forward vigilantly and asked loudly who was coming. Shen Hanxi's attendants showed the waist card of the court guard and showed them their identities. When he heard Shen Hanxi's name, he immediately put away his weapon and asked Guigan.

"The official is going upstairs." Shen Hanxi lightly put down a sentence, and didn't even bother to make up a reason.

"I don't know if you have a document from the Ministry of War?"

Shen Hanxi glanced at him with an expression of "Do you think this official needs it?"

The guard general paused and said, "The subordinate officials don't dare to make assertions, wait for the subordinate officials to make the superior ......."

Shen Hanxi had already walked forward with Song Ran, arrogant to the extreme: "Even if you invite the military department to come now, do you dare to stop the official?" "Continue to give orders, and say, "Temporarily remove the Xuanjia guards on the city tower." ”

The guard's face was ugly, but he did not dare to show refusal, and after a moment's stalemate, he finally made a gesture upstairs and removed the officers and soldiers who were on patrol.

When Shen Hanxi carried Song Ran up to the city tower, a deputy general couldn't help but step forward and said in a low voice: "General, which play is this Shen Hanxi singing?" ”

The other party's expression sank: "It doesn't matter which play he sings, you and I are humble and light-hearted, there is nothing to do with him, this matter will be spread, and someone will go to him." ”

At this time, he is arrogant, but there will always be a day when the autumn will settle accounts.

Song Ran picked up Luo's skirt and walked up to the city tower step by step, and her vision gradually widened as the height increased. There is a wind in the high place, and the flag erected on the city tower is blown, and the entire Ling'an city is in full view.

I heard that every year on the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor and queen will come to this building, the royal road that is forbidden to pass on weekdays will also be open to visitors, since the 14th, the whole city will be lit up, in each street, there will be thaumaturgical abilities, singing and dancing performances, just think about the scene, it makes people fascinated.

It was about the strength of the wine, and in her eyes, there seemed to be a grand scene of thousands of lights lit up together, but no matter how certain she was, there was only a blurred ten thousand lights in front of her.

She suddenly spoke, and her tone was not very serious: "Don't you feel that the height is too cold?" ”

Shen Hanxi looked at her fair side face, and her voice was still casual: "It's cold in high places, but in this world, there is no warm place." The officer knows what you're thinking, but you still don't look down on the commander-in-chief. Do you think this official doesn't want to resign and go to live a happy life with you? However, there are too many enemies in the tree over the years, and when he really puts down his power, he will not be far from death. ”

His voice was fluttering, as if it didn't weigh much, and she was a little distracted, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance in a daze.

He turned her in front of him, and his voice deepened: "You went to find Xiao Yan today, which made the official very angry, but he didn't get angry with you because he endured it." In any case, you are not allowed to see him again in the future, otherwise you will also know the temper of this official, and you will definitely not be able to spare you. ”

She didn't resist, and obediently responded: "Okay, the adults won't let me see it, but I won't see it." ”

When he saw her so obedient, he was satisfied, and took her hand and walked slowly towards the distant city wall.

After climbing the castle tower, I was tired of seeing the night view, and I heard her say: "I don't want to go home today, is there any interesting place for adults to take me?" ”

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, he didn't know why she was so energetic today, and thought for a while: "I couldn't take you on the Chenglou boat last time, if you are still interested, there is a ferry not far ahead, and you can rent a painting boat for a night tour." ”

She said, "Okay, listen to your lords." ”

Shen Hanxi is wealthy, the rented painting boat is exquisite and comfortable, the oars are the beautiful drooping girls, and the famous prostitutes on the Huanhua River are also plucking the strings and singing.

After only listening to two tunes, Song Ran lay on his lap, drowsy.

Shen Hanxi's wide sleeves covered her body, and he said to those who were waiting: "All retreat to the outer room." ”

The maids who serve are all good at looking at each other, and naturally know what this noble man is going to do next. When the curtain was lowered, he was seen raising his finger and falling on the face of the woman in his arms......

He was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and his appearance was amazing, but he was cold all over, so that they didn't dare to force their eyes, let alone delve into what the identity of this noble man was.

A glance at the saber at the waist of the brocade-clothed attendant guarding the outside, you can also guess that this is not a master to be messed with.

After all the idlers and others withdrew, the girl in Shen Hanxi's arms moved slightly, and it was about the movement of his fingers that woke her up, only to see her open her eyes, sleepy-eyed, but awake under her eyes.

"Sleep when you're sleepy."

She pillowed his legs, sniffed between his sleeves, and shook her head slightly.

"This official will enter the palace early tomorrow, but I don't have the time to accompany you until dawn."

"Accompany me until dawn, but your lord refuses?"

From her point of view, what she saw was his fair and slender face, and above was his thin lips with beautiful lines. After listening to her words, I saw the corners of his beautiful lips rise, and he seemed to smile: "Then it depends on what he does." Scooped her up from her lap and said, "If it is a waste of time, it is naturally not cost-effective for Yu Benguan." ”

Before she could speak, the lips came to hers.

The moment her lips touched, the cold and soft touch made her heart beat suddenly. She didn't think much about it, she subconsciously hid back, there was no support behind her, and the whole person fell to the ground on her back.

His hand was a step ahead of her fall, under her head. When she was lying down, he pulled out the hand and put it on the side of her ear.

His lips hooked, and it was a very subtle sneer: "Miss Song still hasn't forgiven this official." ”

There was a rippling light in his eyes, his fingers moved down from the side of her ear, and his movements were a little frivolous, Song Ran only felt a chill on his neck, and the collar was picked open by that hand. His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and a mad thought arose in his heart. He lowered his head, his cool lips brushing the skin around her neck and sliding down to her delicate collarbone. He didn't do anything else, but it was enough to keep her blood on guard.

His voice was hoarse, and he closed his eyes and said, "Shaowei, this official has given you all the weakness, what more do you want?" ”
