In the middle of the moon, more and more people gathered on Zhengyangmen Street.

The lantern tower in the palace was lit up one by one, and only the last lantern at the top, which occupied one floor, was not lit. That's the most anticipated part of tonight.

Xie Jingxing took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "It's almost time now, let's go back to Guangyuan Building." ”

Jiang Yan looked at the appearance of the two of them with large bags and small bags, and she couldn't spare anything to buy, so she nodded and agreed.

After going to Guangyuan Building to see the light tower, put things away and continue to come out to buy, buy, buy!

The box in Guangyuan Building has long been divided by various dignitaries, and many of them have already arrived at this time.

The entourage of the little houses downstairs is gathering together, talking in twos and threes. saw Jiang Yan and the two of them go in. Many people also quietly looked at them.

However, Xie Jingxing's clothes are extraordinary, Jiang Yan rarely goes out, and she also deliberately dresses up, but no one comes up to stop them from entering.

Jiang Yan noticed the gazes of those people, and said to Xie Jingxing with a smile: "Others go out with more than a dozen entourages, why don't you have anyone by your side?" In the past, there were still the two of them, but you have been an official for so many years, but it is not as good as before. ”

Xie Jingxing said a little proudly: "They need someone to protect them, and it's enough for me to have myself." I'm annoyed that a group of people are following. ”

Jiang Yan was surprised: "I thought that you boys were used to having people follow, and you could naturally ignore the people around you." ”

After all, there is a group of people around me from childhood to adulthood, and they should all be used to it

Xie Jingxing said: "Although I have been a large group of maids and wives since I was a child, but later I followed the master to practice martial arts, and the master came out of the military camp, and those maids and wives were never allowed to follow up on the martial arts training ground, and I had to come by myself, and I was used to not using them after a long time." ”

Jiang Yan said, as a grandson who was also raised by his grandmother, why is there such a big difference between Jia Baoyu and Xie Jingxing, it turns out that there is a relationship between a martial master.

The two of them had gone upstairs and approached the box, and were about to enter, when the door next door suddenly creaked open.

When Xie Jingxing saw the comer, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and he bowed and said, "Weichen has seen the king of Yizhong County." ”

The location of Xie Jingxing's box is particularly good, although Qing'an Hou has gradually lost his military power in recent years, he is still in the center of the court, and the others have not been able to rob their family with their eyes.

Therefore, his room is surrounded by first-class nobles, and it is not surprising to see King Yizhong when he thinks about it.

But Xie Jingxing knew that this year, the emperor said that he wanted to have fun with the people, and at the same time as building a lantern tower in the palace, a banquet was also held in the palace. The emperor's relatives and important civil and military ministers were all invited, why did the king of Yizhong fall here to watch the lantern tower?

King Yizhong was not surprised to see Xie Jingxing, presumably he already knew which families were on the left and right.

He looked at Xie Jingxing and Jiang Yan beside him, and smiled ambiguously: "If we meet outside, let's ignore those false courtesies." You haven't been back to the capital for many years, so you must have had a good time tonight. ”

Xie Jingxing quietly hid Jiang Yan behind him, "I didn't expect that my little thing, the county king would remember." ”

King Yizhong smiled and said, "We are relatives, so I naturally have to be concerned about your affairs." ”

King Yizhong still had something to do, so he left first without saying a word.

Xie Jingxing watched him leave, and then returned to the private room with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan asked curiously: "How does this Yizhong County King feel very familiar with you?" Has he always been so familiar? ”

Xie Jingxing said: "You can know by looking at his age, he is so much older than me, how can he be familiar." I've seen him a few times before during the New Year's holidays, and the relationship is average, and I've never seen him so enthusiastic before. ”

In fact, in the past ten years, because of the matter of the old prince Yizhong, the king of Yizhong has always been a man with his tail between his legs, and he can't wait for others not to pay attention to him, so he doesn't walk around at all.

Jiang Yan said: "Then how does he act as if you are his favored junior." ”

Xie Jingxing coughed, "In terms of seniority, I am his cousin." ”

"Huh? He's got a big beard! I didn't even think about seniority. ”

Jiang Yan calculated in her heart, Qing'an Hou and Emperor Taishang are cousins, Xie Jingxing and the emperor are the same generation, that is, the same generation as the old prince Yizhong, so calculated, the king of Yizhong County is indeed Xie Jingxing's junior.

"I didn't expect you to be so senior, so the performance of the King of Yizhong just now was a bit excessive. How can you also be an elder, how can you guide people like juniors. ”

Xie Jingxing didn't care, he also figured out the situation in the capital during his return to Beijing.

"Don't say that I'm separated by several floors, it's his own uncle, and he hasn't been polite."

He pointed in the direction of the palace, "That one has been relying on him more and more in recent years. How can ordinary people be taken into his eyes. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Jingxing is also a little strange. Emperor Aether attaches great importance to the King of Yizhong, this banquet will definitely not fail to invite him over, even if the emperor is dissatisfied, for the sake of superficial peace, he will not stop this. So how did he get here again?

Jiang Yan listened to the inside story of the palace, she really didn't understand the operation of the emperor.

The throne has been passed to others, what are you still meddling in the government here? Even if you are still nostalgic for power, you don't have to help the king of Yizhong County, wouldn't this make the court have more accidents?

Originally, the emperor's sons had a dispute, and now they have added one, which really muddies the water more and more.

The energy is spent on infighting, and no one has been seen to solve the drought problem of the past two years.

It's useless to say this, Jiang Yan walked to the window and opened the window completely, "Don't talk about these uninteresting things, look, there is a figure shaking on the other side of the light tower, and it must be going up to light the lamp." ”

There were also many people on the street who discovered the condition of the lantern tower, and all kinds of noisy sounds suddenly sounded below.

"Look, the lights are on!"

"I wonder what the last light is?"

"The ones that are left for the end are definitely more beautiful than the lanterns below."

"But don't make me wait so long!"

Jiang Yan had seen all kinds of lanterns and lanterns in her previous life, and she originally had a dispensable attitude towards the lights in the palace. But being so noisy by these people below is also a little more interesting.

She stood high here and could see far away, and the light tower was as bright as day. The actions of the palace people who lit the lamp, she could see it clearly.

I saw a person ascend to the top floor, and in the next second, a huge bright moon rose.

Jiang Yan looked at the lanterns in the distance with a look of surprise, she didn't expect that with ancient technology, she could actually do this step!
