Chapter 46 Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival
Half a month later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in previous years, the house had to invite the opera troupe to sing, but this year, because Aunt Fang went, the old lady lost this interest, and the family had a quiet meal, and after a while, they dispersed early.
Ji Yunyun went back to the house and was about to fall asleep after washing, when the window suddenly sounded, and it seemed to be the sound of stones knocking, she got out of bed and opened the window to look out, and saw Ji Yunlan standing on tiptoe outside, still holding a stone in her hand.
"Three ......" Ji Yunyun was about to ask her what she was doing, Ji Yunlan raised her finger and made a silent gesture at her, and whispered: "Come out quickly, let's go to the street together." ”
"On the street?" Ji Yunyun was a little surprised, her grandmother and aunt didn't say that they were allowed to go on the street.
Ji Yunlan beckoned to her, "Come out, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival at night, once a year, don't you want to see it?" ”
Ji Yunyun hesitated, closed the window, changed into clothes, and quietly went out.
Ji Yunlan pulled her and quietly slipped to Ji Yunshu's courtyard and called her, and the three of them went out from the corner gate, only to find that everyone had arrived, Ji Yunyuan, Ji Yunhong and Ji Yunting were all there, and even the carriage was ready next to them.
"I just said I don't have to worry about safety." Ji Yunlan crossed her waist and was proud.
The six of them got into the carriage, and the street was already lively, and there was a sea of lights, which was very beautiful. They got out of the carriage where there were few people, and as soon as they stood firm, they heard someone shouting at them, "Cousin! Cousin! ”
Ji Yunyun raised her head and looked at the voice, and saw that it was Yan Xiao and Yan Shuangshuang, she waved to them happily, "Cousin, cousin." ”
Yan Xiao and Yan Shuangshuang came over, Ji Yunyun introduced them to Ji Yunlan, there were many people on the street, they decided to go separately, and gather here in the carriage later, Ji Yunshu and Ji Yunyuan together, Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunting followed Yan Xiao Yan Shuangshuang.
Ji Yunting and Yan Xiao walked in front, and Ji Yunyun and Yan Shuangshuang walked behind. Yan Shuangshuang was watching the Lantern Festival for the first time in the capital, and she was dazzled, and Ji Yunyun explained to her on the side.
"Cousin, look at this lantern." Every time she saw a lantern, Yan Shuangshuang was so excited, and she pulled Ji Yunyun to watch every stall.
"This one looks good, buy one for Yunting and cousin." Ji Yunyun was about to ask Yan Xiao and Ji Yunting to choose the lanterns, but when he looked up, he found that Yan Xiao and Ji Yunting didn't know when they were gone.
It should be that they walked too slowly and fell behind, Yan Shuangshuang didn't care and took Ji Yunyun's hand, "Leave them alone, let's go shopping by ourselves." ”
There are many food sellers on the street, Yan Shuangshuang is interested in any of them, Ji Yunyun simply bought some of each, and the two of them ate while shopping, and when they came to a small stall selling flowers, Yan Shuangshuang stopped.
"There's a bracelet made of flowers." Yan Shuangshuang squatted on the ground to choose the bracelet, Ji Yunyun looked around, looking for Yan Xiao and Ji Yunting in the crowd, these two people didn't see it, but they saw Qi Cheng, Sun Yingying and the second prince.
The second prince just returned to the capital from Luzhou a few days ago, and someone in the Sun family was stabbed in front of the emperor by taking advantage of the flood, and he tried to help the Sun family cover up but the flood in Luzhou was more serious and the emperor knew about it, and before the flood was finished, the emperor recalled him to the capital and sent the prince over.
I heard that the second prince was scolded by the emperor, and the right to assist in handling the government was also taken back, and I also heard that the emperor did not go to Sun Guifei's bedroom for several days, and Sun Guifei also blocked her from the door of the study when she asked to see her. In short, this time not only the Sun family was heavily responsible, but the second prince was also implicated.
Thinking about the incident in Luzhou this time, the second prince was seriously frustrated, his face was tense, and he seemed to be in a bad mood to the extreme, and Sun Yingying was a little ignorant when talking to him next to him. Qi Cheng walked behind the two of them, looking around aimlessly, as if he noticed her gaze, and raised his eyes to look straight at her.
As soon as the eyes of the two met, Sun Yingying suddenly turned her head to talk to Qi Cheng, Qi Cheng lowered her head and responded, Ji Yunyun retracted her gaze, seeing that the second prince was getting closer and closer to her, she pulled Yan Shuangshuang and hid by the river, she didn't want Sun Yingying to see her.
Yan Shuangshuang took two selected flower bracelets, one on his wrist, and the other on Ji Yunyun, and the two watched people put lanterns by the river.
"Let's pick two lanterns too." Ji Yunyun took Yan Shuangshuang's hand, crowded into the crowd and selected the lanterns, and went to the river to put them down carefully.
Seeing that the lanterns were drifting away, the two wanted to leave the river, but there were more and more people by the river, and not only did they not go out, but they were pushed and separated by the crowd. Ji Yunyun followed the flow of people and looked around for Yan Shuangshuang, but there were many people around, and no one could be found at all.
There was a big boat upstream of the river, the boat was full of lights, hung with dazzling, different shapes of lanterns, the crowd crowded to the river to see, the riverside guardrail was extremely low, Ji Yunyun was almost squeezed into the river.
"Be careful." A warm chest suddenly leaned over behind her, holding her to stand firm by the river, she didn't have to look back to know that the person behind her was Qi Cheng.
There were people all around, not only could the two of them not go out, but they were also squeezed tightly together, and there was a deep river in front of them, afraid that she would fall, Qi Cheng tightly wrapped one arm around her waist.
This is the second time Ji Yunyun has been so close to a man, and it is still the same man. Her ears were slightly red, and her cheeks were a little hot.
The crowd was not so crowded, Qi Cheng stepped back, leaving a little gap for the two, and the arm that held her waist was slightly loosened, Ji Yunyun turned slightly sideways to say thanks, but the big boat sailed in front of her, and the crowd behind squeezed over again, Ji Yunyun was caught off guard, and hurriedly reached out to climb Qi Cheng's shoulder, half of her face was buried in Qi Cheng's chest, and the flower bracelet on her wrist spread out and fell on the two of them.
Now the posture of the two is even more intimate than Fang Cai. Qi Cheng only felt that the body in his arms was soft and reverie, and a scattered flower fell to the slightly open corner of the lip of the person in his arms, and the ruddy lip petals were more delicate than the delicate little flowers next to him, he looked down and fixed for a moment, his throat rolled slightly, until the surrounding crowd suddenly dispersed, and then he came back to his senses.
The big boat passed, the crowd by the river also dispersed, and the two separated, Ji Yunyun lowered his head and blushed, and was hesitating and didn't know what to say, when he heard a familiar voice shouting: "Cousin! ”
She looked up and saw that it was Yan Xiao and Ji Yunting, who should have found that she and Yan Shuangshuang were gone, and came back to look for them.
She stood on tiptoe and waved her hand at Yan Xiao, and when she turned around, she saw that Qi Cheng had already left.
"Cousin, why are you so red?" Yan Xiao and Ji Yunting arrived in front of her, Yan Xiao glanced at her and asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, my cousin is gone, go find my cousin." Ji Yunyun was vague, and the three of them went to the crowd to find Yan Shuangshuang.
In front of a mask stall, Sun Yingying and the second prince stood there.
"What about people?" Sun Yingying looked at the crowd, the three of them were scattered by the crowd just now, and when they came back to their senses, only she and the second prince were left, and Qi Cheng was gone.
The second prince's gaze fell on a figure not far away, and he stepped forward slightly and shouted, "Second Miss Ji." ”
Unexpectedly, he met them again, Ji Yunyun came over and saluted, "Second Highness." ”
"The second girl came alone?" The second prince squinted at her and asked.
"I came with my big brothers and sisters, and I was separated just now." Ji Yunyun replied.
"Then have you seen the son? We were separated from him. The second prince stared at her and asked.
Ji Yunyun shook his head without changing his face, "No, I didn't see it, we and my cousin have also been separated, and we are also looking for it." ”
"Really?" The second prince looked at her for a moment, then suddenly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to her hair.
Ji Yunyun was stunned for a moment, and was about to retreat, but the second prince's hand had already been withdrawn, holding a petal in his fingertips, and said with a slight smile: "The second girl has something in her hair." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Yunyun pursed her lips and thanked her, blessed her body and said, "Your Highness, I still have to go to my cousin, so I will leave first." ”
The second prince reached out and gently twisted the petals in his hand and nodded, "Well, go ahead." ”
Seeing Ji Yunyun leave in a hurry, the second prince turned his head to look at Sun Yingying, and saw that his cousin had a calm look on his face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, you don't like this second girl of the Ji family very much?" ”
"Hmph, how can I like someone who dares to rob me." Sun Yingying snorted coldly, saw Qi Cheng in the crowd, and hurriedly waved at him with a smile.
Qi Cheng walked towards them, and when he got closer, Sun Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally found you, there are too many people, let's go back." ”
"Hmm." Qi Cheng nodded, and was about to leave, when the second prince suddenly asked, "What's on your neckline?" ”
Qi Cheng lowered his head, but the second prince's hand had already stretched out, he twisted a petal on Qi Cheng's neckline, and asked with a smile: "Where have you been, why are you stained with petals?" ”
"I guess I got it in the crowd by the river just now." Qi Cheng didn't care, and walked towards the place where they parked the carriage.
Sun Yingying turned around to follow, but the second prince stretched out his other hand from his sleeve, and in his hand was the petals that Fang had just found in Ji Yunyun's hair, looking at the two similar petals, he smiled thoughtfully.
Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunting Yan Xiao searched for a while but didn't find Yan Shuangshuang, and the three of them had to go back to the carriage that separated from Ji Yunshu and them just now, only to find out that Yan Shuangshuang was already there, and Ji Yunyuan also came back.
"Cousin, you're back, we've been looking for you." Ji Yunyun went over and grabbed Yan Shuangshuang's hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"After I got separated from you, I was also looking for you, but then I met Zhou Gongzi, so I came back here first." Yan Shuangshuang said with a smile.
Ji Yunyun asked Ji Yunyuan, "Big brother, aren't you with your big sister?" Also separated? ”
Ji Yunyuan nodded, "Well, I met Miss Yan when I was looking for them, so I simply came back here and waited for them." ”
As he was talking, Ji Yunshu and Ji Yunlan Ji Yunhong also came back, seeing that it was not early, after separating from Yan Xiao and Yan Shuangshuang, several people got into the carriage and went back to the Guogong Mansion.
On the other side, Qi Cheng and the second prince Sun Yingying separated at the intersection and went back to King An's mansion. On the carriage back to Sun's mansion, the second prince handed the two petals just now to Sun Yingying, and said, "Take care of your man, otherwise he will really be snatched away by others." ”
Sun Yingying looked at the petals and was puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
The second prince looked at her meaningfully, "These two petals, one was found on the second girl of the Ji family, and the other was on the prince." ”
Sun Yingying's face changed suddenly, she stared at the two petals in front of her tightly, the expression in her eyes instantly deepened and became ruthless, the lesson of the last time was not enough, she even dared to approach the prince?!
