Sending Li Yu away, Qing Ruifan just picked up the cup when he saw Yang Li'er, who was dressed in plain clothes and Luo skirt outside, biting her lower lip, her face full of hesitation. He raised his eyebrows, not reacting for a moment. "What's wrong?" She is also a delicate girl, why is she so hesitant?

"Your Royal Highness, Li'er just made a peach blossom cake, and when I sent it in, I just heard what Mrs. Li said......" Yang Li'er looked at him and beckoned, rubbing it timidly, her white fingers holding a mahogany tray, which contained a white plate and a few pastries.

"Yes. Is there anything wrong? Qing Ruifan beckoned her to approach, he remembered that Yang Li'er had a good relationship with these official ladies before she went out of Beijing to find him, and of course this was part of the reason why he accepted her. When a person is really ambitious, any relationship will be considered.

"No, it's just that I heard that Zhen'er hasn't been out of the house for a long time, so I'm a little surprised." Yang Li'er smiled sweetly, looking full of anticipation. Qing Ruifan already understood at a glance, but, "If you miss her, you can find a time to meet in the future." "That is, not today.

Yang Li'er nodded, her skirt was lightly raised, and she picked up a piece of pastry and sent it to Qing Ruifan: "Li'er spent a morning making it, please taste it." "The crisp is so crispy, it melts in the mouth, and the fragrance is full. Qing Ruifan ate two of them on Yang Li'er's hand, and was a little tired, so he casually found a reason to send her down.

"Where is she?" Yang Li'er took her things and withdrew, and a man like a family man walked in, knelt down and saluted respectfully. Qing Ruifan spread out a book, his eyebrows slanted, and there was a little nervousness in his words that he didn't even notice.

"A ready-to-wear store not far from the Nanmen vegetable market." The man's voice was very light, and there was a faint sense of reassurance. "Blue clothes, follow her, don't be discovered." Gu Lingge himself is also involved in martial arts, if he wants to find out that tracking is such a simple thing, he must be careful.

"Come with me when the lights are on." Qing Ruifan stood up and said this before leaving the hall. The blue coat replied calmly, and then retreated like the wind.

Gu Lingge walked in the crowd, his eyebrows furrowed as if he had encountered something big. Mu Er followed behind her, his face leisurely. He never had to worry about anything strange happening to Gu Lingge, he just needed to follow.

Everyone in Liulizhuang can have no head as long as they are in front of Gu Lingge.

The magnificent drum beat of "Dong Dong Dong ......" slowly sounded, and a big flag was slowly pulled up on the high pole of the vegetable market, with four big characters on it: Flower Lantern Goddess. The crowd gradually gathered over there, and slowly only the red flags and tassels could be seen, and the black pressure was full of people.

"Miss......" Mu Er stood at the door and saw Gu Lingge's beautiful eyebrows twisted like a mess. Gu Lingge squinted and looked to the side, and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

It was very laborious to squeeze through the crowd, and when they finally arrived at the stage, Gu Lingge saw Qing Ruifan sitting in the judging seat at a glance. Apricot yellow casual clothes, robes flying, and the python pattern of the same color on the chest outlines a different majesty. She heard someone beside her whispering the prince, with a slight reverence in her voice.

"Thank you for coming to the temple fair today, and our goddess selection will start soon." A high-pitched and loud voice roared, not loud but audible. That's Mu Yi, Mu Yi is the master of ceremonies tonight, it is estimated that it is because his voice is quite loud, and Wu Xing can also control the scene.

The participants of this goddess selection then appeared one by one, holding all kinds of lanterns in their hands, and the left was just some small jasper, although the form was different, but it did not fall into the daughter's family's favorite things. Only one woman came up empty-handed, her white face soft and beautiful in the orange light, but it caused an uproar in the audience.

Standing still on the stage, the girl clapped her hands, and a dark shadow followed, and everyone looked up to see that it was a huge lantern. It was a tall lantern with auspicious clouds as the base and a resolute young man as the backbone.

Everyone was amazed, but they didn't want to be a different scene after the lamplight. The lanterns were lit in turn, and the auspicious clouds slowly turned into multicolored, and the man on the clouds was not holding a long fan as people thought, but a short sword, which was lifelike. The man was dressed in an apricot yellow robe, with a brocade dress and a jade belt, and he looked like Qing Ruifan.

"Wow!" Who made this, it's beautiful. "This...... It's the crown prince. The voices sounded one after another, Gu Lingge looked up, and made a pertinent comment: "The face is so ugly." Mu Er stood behind, swallowing his saliva and saying nothing.

Looking at the lights in the first round, there is no doubt that Qing Ruifan's lights won. The second round relies on talent, but it is not ordinary talent. Although the girls in the boudoir are mostly involved in poetry and books, the Han and Qin Empire's folk customs are open, and the military ranks are not much worse than those of men.

"In the second round, we only took one question, and since it was getting late, we won't write it on paper, so please answer it on the spot." There are so many dozen people lined up on the field, and without exception, none of them are official ladies. Mu Yi calmly glanced around the stage and reported the question: "If the girls on the field are defiled by hooligans, how will they deal with it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Han and Qin opened up well, but it would not put this matter in broad daylight. Even in the darkness of the night, several girls blushed. Qing Ruifan sat at the top and took in their performances. He didn't know why, but when he raised his head, he could see Gu Lingge's indifferent look, which was a kind of indifference that he rarely saw.

"The thugs don't punish her, and the little woman's heart is unsettled. And in this troubled world, if you don't rely on yourself, how can you get revenge? Therefore, if this really happens, the little woman must gamble her life's reputation and swear to bring the thugs to justice. The last one to answer was the girl named Liu Yu who made a lamp for Qing Ruifan.

Obviously, the other girls said that they wanted to be handed over to the government, or discussed with their parents, but this girl not only had to rely on herself, but also didn't believe in the government. It's the prince sitting on it, isn't she afraid that the prince will be angry when she says this? Or do you want to get noticed?

Qing Ruifan was interested, raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Who is the girl's name?" "Muyun Pavilion is full of willows." The woman spoke, soft but not weak, with a lake blue long skirt, beautiful and pitiful.

Gu Lingge raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mu Er behind him, and Yun Shuang, who didn't know when he would follow. Yun Shuang noticed the sight on her body, bent down and whispered, "Master, the person was chosen by Yun Lan." ”

Gu Lingge nodded lightly: "I don't care about that." The three of them returned to the stage, and the competition on the flower competition was basically the same, although it was only two short rounds, but who won was very obvious.

"Your Highness, the courtiers of Miss Liu don't dare to agree." A crisp voice like a yellow warbler suddenly came from the side of the stage, and the crowd looked sideways, it was a girl with a double hair wearing a pink fairy dress, three thousand green silk neatly pulled up, looking lively and playful.

Gu Lingge looked at Qing Ruifan, judging from his knowing expression, he knew this person, but he still heard him say, "Who is the girl?" The woman's face seemed to be embarrassed, but she still bent her knees and blessed her body and said, "Li Zhen, the grandson of the Li Mansion." Qing Ruifan nodded and raised his hand. I only heard Li Zhen continue: "Miss Liu said that today is a troubled time, but I thought it was not. If this is a troubled time, how can the people of the imperial city live in peace? If this is a troubled time, why is today's lantern festival happening? If this is a troubled time, how can the prince come and rejoice with the people? I would like to ask this girl, if this is really a troubled time, how can a girl and a fluttering girl get on this grand stage? ”

Gu Lingge stood under the stage and felt that there was heat on his body, and when he looked at the end of his sight, Qing Ruifan looked playful. She subconsciously straightened her back and glanced at Liu Yu. She never doubted the arrangement of her subordinates, and Liu Yu must have a reason to be able to stand here.

Liu Yu looked indifferent, looked around, saw that there seemed to be a commotion in the crowd around him, hooked his thin lips and smiled, his voice was clear, and there was no Li Zhen's aggressiveness at all:

"If Miss Li thinks that the world is peaceful, why doesn't the prince be busy with state affairs in the palace, but instead raise troops outside the palace to regain the throne? Or does Miss Li think that the rebellion and thieves are a sign of peace? ”

There was applause under the flowers, and Li Zhen was quietly slapped loudly. Qing Ruifan stood up, and his loud voice sounded in the entire market: "What a chaotic thief, what a chaotic thief!" Gu Lingge raised her eyebrows, she could understand why he was so excited, but she didn't expect the prince's emotions to be exposed so easily.

"Okay, the selection of this year's lantern goddess has been shown, please tell me with your voice which is the lantern goddess." Mu Yi saw that the situation was almost under control, so he decisively concluded the competition and announced the result directly.

The emotions of the onlookers just happened to be stirred up, so even if some people applauded Li Zhen, most people still preferred Liu Yu. Obviously, Liu Yu has become the goddess of this year's lanterns.

A young girl stood up and held a plain and long palace lamp in her hand, with only two words splashed with ink on it: willow yu. After the handover of the lantern was completed, Mu Yi spoke: "So, may I ask Miss Liu, the goddess of lanterns, what is your wish?" "The wish of the lantern goddess, the people of the entire imperial city must do their best to fulfill it.

Liu Yu looked at the people below who were holding their breath, and she saw a quiet white in the vast darkness. Standing on the stage, he said loudly: "I want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a promise." ”

Qing Ruifan smiled lightly. He saw his subjects in the light of the fire burning by the market, pious and full of anticipation. "Please." He heard his own voice echoing around him.

"In the name of the entire Lin'an City, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can give us real peace and tranquility within one month." For the first time, the people in the city were all applauding with excitement on their faces. Liu Yu looked straight at the people in front of him, and his face was also smiling, as quiet as an orchid.

Qing Ruifan appeared to be as surprised as the people, but he quickly relented. Slowly walked down the high platform, came to Liu Yu, looked into her eyes deeply and straightforwardly, and said in a calm and firm voice: "Yes, the lantern goddess." The fire shone brightly, and the whole market was full of people for a while.

Gu Lingge turned around, she had no need to look any further. Qing Ruifan didn't know why, he was always able to find Gu Lingge's location at a glance in the sea of people. He looked up to see her turn, her white dress flashing through the blackened crowd. Mu Yi looked at the audience thoughtfully.

After the selection, there is a procession, and people have made huge floats in advance, drawn by four white horses, and will parade through the entire imperial capital. Along the way, there were people's cheers and blessings, Liu Yu sat on a chair made of rattan, looked at the white horse in front of him, smiled and waved to people, full of affinity.

Li Zhen was dragged down by Li Yu after the parade began. Back at the Li Mansion, Li Yu's first sentence was filled with anger: "Kneel!"
