Chapter 121: Out of the Palace
The carriage quickly drove out of the palace, and in an instant it was already outside the palace. Fortunately, Lord Chu's mansion was not far from the palace, and it didn't make the nobles in the carriage bump for long.
"County Lord, we're here!" Huaizhu was as happy as a deer, which made Ji Yueqin feel good when she saw it.
Everyone got out of the carriage, only Nan Xuanyu's expression was not very good, and the rest of the people couldn't see any expressions.
Lord Chu was waiting for everyone to arrive in front of the mansion early, and even the Qian family was dressed up today to greet everyone at the door.
"Wechen has seen Your Highnesses and the Lord of Anning." Lord Chu and the family members of the Chu family saluted to everyone.
Nan Xuanyu, as the crown prince and the eldest in this line, naturally wants to use him as a flaunt.
I just heard Nan Xuanyu wave his hand indifferently and said: "Lord Chu doesn't need to be polite, this time the palace is just going out of the palace with the princes and county lords, it's not a big deal, so don't be so restrained." ”
Qian immediately answered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, and the concubine is really admired. ”
Ji Yueqin looked at Qian's face, and felt a little funny in her heart, an aunt even jumped out to speak, this Lord Chu was really embarrassed.
Sure enough, Lord Chu looked at Qian's appearance, frowned, and said to her: "I am talking to His Royal Highness the Prince, how can you be a woman who can intervene, don't retreat quickly." ”
Qian was drunk by his husband, but his face turned pale and he retreated to the side and didn't dare to make a sound.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives her sins, Aunt Qian is a woman, she doesn't know what etiquette is, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't be surprised." Lord Chu said a little embarrassed.
"Oh, it turned out to be an aunt, I said I didn't understand any etiquette." Duan Zhilan rolled her eyes on the side, and her tone was full of disdain.
"Okay, Zhilan, don't talk about it." Nan Xuanyu frowned and glanced at Duan Zhilan, and said to Lord Chu with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a casual walk, you don't have to care about so many etiquette." ”
Seeing that Nan Xuanyu didn't pursue it, Lord Chu was relieved in his heart, so he said to Nan Xuanyu again: "In this way, your highnesses and county lords should go into the house to rest." ”
Nan Xuanyu looked at Ji Yueqin, but politely rejected Lord Chu's kindness, "No, we have had breakfast in the palace, and now we want to go out of the palace for a walk, but it won't bother Lord Chu." ”
Lord Chu nodded and continued: "In this case, it is better to let the little girl take His Royal Highness and the county lord to visit Du'an City together." ”
Nan Xuanyu looked at Duan Zhilan on the side, anyway, there was no way to get along with Ji Yueqin alone now, and a few more people would not be in the way, so he nodded and agreed to Lord Chu's request.
So Chu Qingtang, Chu Xiangyue, and Chu Xiangyu joined Nan Xuanyu and his party, and the handsome men and beauties were amazing. However, before he left the Chu Mansion, Nan Xuanyu didn't know where to take out a veil and give it to Ji Yueqin.
"Sister Yue, the wind and sand outside the palace are strong, let's bring a silk scarf." Nan Xuanyu said softly to Ji Yueqin.
Originally, the Dayu folk style was open, so that there was no custom for women to wear veils on the street, but Nan Xuanyu didn't want others to see Ji Yueqin's beauty, so he came up with such a method.
Ji Yueqin smiled softly at him, like a gentle breeze in spring, which amazed everyone. However, it was amazing in the eyes of several princes and Chu Qingtang, and in the eyes of the Chu family sisters and Duan Zhilan, there was only disdain.
Especially Duan Zhilan, looking at Ji Yueqin's eyes, they were about to burst into flames.
Ji Yueqin put on a veil, leaving only a pair of smart eyes, which added a bit of aura to Ji Yueqin.
Duan Zhilan was not satisfied at this time, and hurriedly said to Nan Xuanyu: "Cousin Prince, I can't stand the wind and sand, I also want a veil." ”
Nan Xuanyu frowned, "The veil just now was given to Sister Yue, if you want to wear a veil, go to the cloth village in front and buy a piece." ”
Duan Zhilan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Nan Xuanyu to refuse her like this, and she didn't react for a while.
Immediately, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Nan Xuanyu delicately.
Nan Xuanyu wasn't looking at her at all, which made Duan Zhilan angry.
Chu Qingtang affectionately took Ji Yueqin's hand and said happily: "Yueqin, do you know that the osmanthus halva on Xinghua Street is delicious." I also heard that there will be a lantern festival on the street tonight! ”
"Lantern Festival? What's that? Huaizhu probed his brain on the side, listening to what Chu Qingtang said, he was also very curious.
"It's the annual Lantern Festival. Unlike the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival is now held to celebrate the harvest, and it is said that by placing lotus lanterns by the river, you can make the coming year smooth, and at the same time, you will realize your heart's desire! Chu Qingtang said softly.
"Wow, then I'm going to make a good wish! Bless my family..... Miss is happy and happy! Huaizhu smiled innocently.
Chu Qingtang and Ji Yueqin looked at Huaizhu's cute appearance, and they also smiled slightly.
"What are the two young ladies laughing at?" Nan Xuanlin watched the two of them laugh happily and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Qingtang is talking to me about the Lantern Festival." Ji Yueqin looked at Nan Xuanlin and said with a light smile.
When Nan Xuanlin heard this, he suddenly smiled evilly, and hurriedly said: "It is said that this place where the lights are placed must be made by a man and a woman who have the same heart and make the same wish to come true?" ”
"The same wish? I'm afraid that's unlikely, right? Chu Qingtang was a little incredulous.
"Hehe, it's just some folklore, does Miss Chu really believe it? If Miss Chu doesn't mind, why don't we go and put on the lights together at night, and then have a good drink in Yicui Building......" Nan Xuanlin said a little frivolously, but let Chu Qingtang hide to Ji Yueqin's side in shame.
Nan Xuanyu has been paying attention to Ji Yueqin's side, and when he saw Nan Xuanlin teasing Chu Qingtang, he also came over to relieve the two of them and said, "Second brother, don't be rude to Miss Chu." Although this is outside the palace, it can't be made. ”
Nan Xuanlin saw that Nan Xuanyu was going to come over to preach again, and felt bored, so he walked to the side of Sister Chu Xiangyue again, not knowing what to say.
Because Chu Qingtang is Ji Yueqin's good friend, it is impossible for Nan Xuanyu to sit idly by, so Nan Xuanyu said softly to Chu Qingtang: "Miss Chu, don't take it to heart, the second brother has always been like this, offended Miss Chu, and I hope you don't blame it." ”
Chu Qingtang shook her head, obviously she didn't mean to blame Nan Xuanlin, but the blush on her face also showed that she had a somewhat touching appearance.
Now there are more and more people on the street, and their group of rich and compelling nobles are particularly conspicuous on the street, not to mention that their appearance is not better than ordinary people, and their momentum is even more otherworldly, so that people passing by have a few more looks.
Unexpectedly, a little beggar rushed to their side, quickly stole Duan Zhilan's money bag, and ran in the opposite direction.
