The March 3rd Shangsi Festival is soon approaching, and it is a festival set up by the Great Zhou Dynasty for young boys and girls. On this day, boys and girls can go out together without any restrictions, which is commonly known as the festival where men and women meet. 【1】

In order to let the princes and princesses in the harem also have a good Shangsi Festival, the emperor specially allowed them to disguise themselves and go to the people to play under the protection of the guards.

He Xuan's previous life was devoted to Mi Xian's body, and he was the closest to Tianwei. Reliving a lifetime, these two people have become the most unreliable people, and He Xuan has no friends in this harem.

Originally, she was still thinking about whether to pester her cousin Cai Wenxuan during the Shangsi Festival, but fortunately, Gongzi Hou secretly sent a letter to her a few days ago, asking her if she could go out of the palace to play together. He Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.

After breakfast, Mrs. Cai instructed Hexuan and Jitai to pay attention to safety, put on coats, and acquiesced to the children to go out to play at will.

He Xuan saw Gongzi Hou who had been waiting for a long time at the door of Zhaohua Palace. She quietly walked over and patted Childe's thick shoulder. Childe was startled, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Hexuan, and then he smiled.

"Sister Hexuan, I didn't expect you to be naughty too. You look so good today. Qi Hou said with a smile, staring at He Xuan's white and red face in a daze.

"Brother Qi Hou, is it possible that when you become the princess of Da Zhou, you have to keep a straight face all day long, as if everyone owes me a lot of money?" When He Xuan was said by Qi Hou, he became more and more childish.

"Haha, Sister Hexuan is so cute!" A humble gentleman like Qi Hou couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Brother Qi Hou, where are we going now?" He Xuan didn't actually think about where to go, because she was not familiar with folk things. Although her princess's mansion was outside the palace in the previous life, she herself was a deep lady who did not leave the door.

Qi Hou glanced at the scenery in the distance, and said with a longing smile: "I inquired, the temple fair held in Taihao Mausoleum to worship Fuxi and Nuwa is the last day today, we can go there first to have a look." At noon, we went to the Yuefu Restaurant, known as the No. 1 Tianzi to eat, it is said that there are many innovative dishes, and the palace dining room has a fight. In the afternoon, we can go to the folk teahouse to watch the drama and listen to the music, and in the evening, if you don't dislike it, we can visit the people's night market. You say, okay? ”

He Xuan didn't expect Qi Hou to arrange it so properly, eating, drinking, playing, and watching, all of which he thought about. She blinked her big bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi Hou has arranged it so much with my heart, how can I say that I can't say it!" ”

The two of them talked and laughed and walked towards the gate of the palace.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, a carriage was waiting outside. The sedan chair on the carriage is not conspicuous, and it looks like a small sedan chair of a wealthy businessman. He Xuan nodded with great satisfaction, and couldn't help but praise again: "Brother Qi Hou is really thoughtful, with this carriage, we have saved both effort and time." And the carriage is not conspicuous, so it will not be stared at. ”

"If you like it." Qi Hou blushed slightly when he was praised by He Xuan, his eyes deliberately looked out of the window, and said softly.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at Taihao Mausoleum. Qi Hou's attendant Da Ping helped Qi Hou get out of the carriage first, and Qing'er also came out, and then the two of them helped him out of the sedan chair together.

There is a stone monkey statue on both sides of the gate of Taihao Mausoleum, Qi Hou pointed to the stone monkey and said: "Sister Hexuan, the common people have a saying, touch this stone monkey before entering the door, you can eliminate disasters and diseases, and live a long and healthy life." With that, he touched the top of the stone monkey's head.

He Xuan sneered and covered his mouth, and said with a smile: "There is still such a saying? If this stone monkey really has such a miracle, I will definitely ask my father to come here every day to touch it. ”

"Haha, the Great Zhou Emperor is the true dragon emperor, so naturally he doesn't need the aura of a stone monkey. However, Sister Hexuan, I'd rather believe it or not, or touch it, just follow the customs! Qi Hou gently shook He Xuan's hand and placed it on the stone monkey's face.

He Xuan suddenly felt a feeling of electric shock, and Qi Hou held her hand like this, making her feel a little uneasy.

After touching the stone monkey, he looked at Qi Hou with a smile and said, "You can go in now." Then He Xuan took back his little hand and hid it in his sleeve.

Qi Hou smiled slightly and walked inside. He Xuan hurriedly followed, and when he came in, he saw that the courtyard was full of people. Fortunately, the common people were still in groups in an orderly manner, waiting to go in and offer incense to Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang.

"Let's wait here first, and then go in and offer incense later, and Sister Xuan can see how the statue here is different from yours." Qi Hou patiently explained. After all, this place is full of people, and when he speaks, he deliberately disguises their identities here and there.

"Well, okay!" He Xuan nodded heartily, and his hair was also floating in the air, and Qi Hou couldn't help but look a little distracted.

After finishing the incense, Qi Hou took Hexuan to visit the Taihao Mausoleum. As they walked, the two saw a small stone bridge with a crooked curve, and under the stone bridge hung a large copper coin half a person high, and a small golden bronze bell hung in the copper coin hole, and many people stood by the small river under the bridge and threw copper coins at the small copper bell.

He Xuan was puzzled and asked, "Brother Qi Hou, do you know what they are doing?" ”

Qi Hou also seemed to be a little confused, so he sent Daping to ask the surrounding people.

It turned out that the small bronze bell had the words "Bell Ringing Zhaofu" written on it. If you can hit the bell with the copper coin in your hand, you can make your wish come true.

"That sounds very interesting," He Xuan looked at the ordinary people who threw copper coins, and was also eager to try, but she touched her pocket and said to Qi Hou: "It's a pity that I didn't bring copper coins." ”

"Haha, Sister Hexuan is also in such a hurry! Daping, I know you have two copper coins in your pocket, take them out! Qi Hou was caught off guard by the attendant Daping.

"Childe, this is the money I saved to go out of the palace to drink!" Da Ping said with a face full of grievances.

He Xuan and Qing'er both laughed, Qi Hou couldn't help laughing, and said, "Look at everyone laughing at you, when did this son lose your food and drink?" Don't take it out quickly, I'll give you back double when I get back. ”

When Da Ping heard this, he immediately burst into tears and laughed, and respectfully touched the two copper coins with both hands. It's like two people from before.

So, each of the two people took a bunch of copper coins, and decided that whoever voted for more copper coins would have a treat for lunch.

He Xuan threw it very energetically, but it was a woman, and after all, it couldn't compare to a man's strength. Several were thrown, some were close, but no shots were made. Qing'er on the side was itchy when she saw it, and she also wanted to give it a try, so she shared a small half with Xuan.

Qi Hou saw that he was like this, so he also gave half to Daping.

The four of them talked and laughed, and had a lot of fun. The result was naturally unsurprising, and Xuan lost. However, she didn't care about winning or losing, and was willing to gamble and lose, so Hexuan wanted to invite Qi Hou to lunch at today's Yuefu Building.

Qi Hou couldn't help but smile and said, "No need, Sister Hexuan." This game is not fair, I am taller than you, I am a man, and I have more strength than you, and Sister Xuan, I can't win. ”

When He Xuan heard this, he also nodded heavily and said, "That's true!" A joke that made the four of them laugh.

He Xuan really likes such a simple and happy life, and she doesn't like to participate in the treacherous things in the harem.

Walking into the courtyard, the common people gathered in a circle. Qi Hou escorted and slowly squeezed into the crowd, and it turned out that in the center of the crowd, it was the jugglers of the lion dance who were performing.

When passing through the crowd, He Xuan casually glanced to the right, as if he saw Mi Xian's half-yin and half-yang face, and Mi Xian seemed to see her too.

She always felt that there was a murderous aura in Mi Xian's eyes, which were not a pair of eyes that belonged to a ten-year-old child. Mi Xian was followed by the beautiful little girl, Princess Tianwei.

He Xuan followed Qi Hou to the front of the crowd, the few people who danced the lion seemed to have some kung fu, and their skills were very vigorous, the golden lion was sometimes angry, sometimes naughty, sometimes happy, it was really lifelike.

He Xuan was a little stunned, and suddenly the lion's head suddenly came to her face, so frightened that she subconsciously grabbed Qi Hou's arm and quickly hid behind Qi Hou.

Qi Hou was amused by He Xuan's frightened appearance, and when the lion's head turned to tease the other spectators, Qi Hou's warm big hand stroked He Xuan's head and smiled: "It's okay, the lion is gone." ”

seemed to feel that he was embarrassed, and said unconvinced: "Hmph, who let him run in front of me all of a sudden, scared me!" ”

After watching the lion dance, Qi Hou took He Xuan to the other side of the courtyard, and saw many people lining up from a distance.

He Xuan smiled and asked, "Brother Qi Hou, what are these people lined up for?" Why don't you pull me to the front of the crowd too! ”

"Not this time." Qi Hou smiled and said solemnly: "Sister Hexuan, this is a knack seller." You and Qing'er wait here first, and I'll take Daping to line up. ”

He Xuan nodded and added, "If you have any beautiful gadgets, buy one for Qing'er, this girl is very fun!" Then he pretended to be disgusted and glanced at Qing'er.

"Where is there such an exaggeration as Miss said! However, the slave and maid thanked the son first. Qing'er was a little shy, and after speaking softly, she also gave a slight salute.

This girl didn't want Qi Hou to bring her a gadget, and Xuan scolded with a smile in her heart.

Looking at Qi Hou's distant back, he and Xuan Tongqing'er found a sunny but unoccupied quiet corner to enjoy the flowers.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." A voice shattered the silence.
