Xiao Yichen frowned, "Lord Wang, will Nangong Gongzi know about this matter?" Ah Wu raised his doubts, Xiao Yichen deepened his eyes, his eyes flickered, and his face was still calm and calm, so that people couldn't see any emotion, and paused and told Ah Wu, "Don't make a noise in advance, I'll take care of it myself over there in Nangong." "

Since Xiao Yichen said so, Ah Wu nodded to show that he understood, and seeing that Xiao Yichen didn't speak, Ah Wu turned around and walked out, just walking out of the cubicle of the study, "By the way, you ..... You go and call Lin Qi, and let Lin Qi order the kitchen to make some pig's trotters and send them to the princess. Even though he knew that Lu Xiaoqi felt alienated from him, Xiao Yichen still wanted to be good to her, at least not to treat her materially.

"Huh?! ...... Be! Ah Wu thought that he had heard it wrong, and it was not wrong, but he had followed the prince for so many years, either fighting and killing, or checking this and that, the first time he heard that the prince would order such a small thing, it seems that the princess has really changed the prince a lot.

At this time, Lin Qi was holding a bouquet of flowers, and he didn't know where he picked them, and when he saw Ah Wu walking towards him, he quickly hid the bouquet of flowers in front of him behind him, "What's wrong?" Lin Qi asked a little stumblingly, "The prince asked you to go and tell the kitchen to make some pig's trotters and send them to the princess." "

"Huh?! Yes? , what did the prince say? Ah Wu nodded very seriously, Lin Qi's hand touched his chin and eyes, and under the thick black eyebrows, he was confused and buried with doubts, "The prince has been a little strange lately. "

"I think you're a little weird today." When Lin Qi heard the sound, he followed Ah Wu's eyes, the flowers in his hands were exposed in front of him, and he hurriedly turned his back behind him, "That, I don't see the flowers in the front yard blooming just right, it's a pity that the florist repaired them." Lin Qi laughed awkwardly, Ah Wu didn't say anything about it, and he didn't embarrass him.

"Bang bang bang!"

Soon the Begging Festival is coming, the little girls in the house who are not yet married are very excited, and they have been quietly discussing what to wear for the Begging Festival a few days ago, asking for leave, where to play, Lu Xiaoqi listened to these bustling voices, and was not happy for half a minute, thinking about it, every year on the Begging Festival, Lu Xiaoqi would secretly climb the low wall in her backyard with Qiqiao.

Sneak out, until late at night to sneak back, every day, in the corner of the city are pretended to be a fire, the rich house is lit with lanterns, the women of each family will wear seven-hole needles, knotted with colorful wisps, if there is a favorite son will go to the day of the begging festival to give him, go to the center of the city that the river water in the river to put the river lantern, the street is placed a lot of Chen several feasts of wine and melons and fruits waiting for lovers to buy, the day there is more "spider silk little human form, decorated with melons and fruits." "The blue sky dew is wet again, and the flowers are begging for spider silk." These verse lyrics.

On the same day, there are guessing lantern riddles, performing acrobatic juggling, lion dance, climbing the building to look at the moon, a round of bright moon gushing out of the east, shining on the heavenly street like water, hanging lanterns everywhere, hanging celebrity paintings and strange antique toys on all sides, there is also a largest restaurant in the capital, nine leading floors, the owner is also a big deal, upstairs and downstairs, there are 100 pavilions, the drum music is noisy in the end, the seven days of sheng song deaf, in the palace temple and the Dharma hall of the temple in various places in the city, all kinds of lights, there are countless people who come to send incense, the street is full of laughter, Of course, there are also drunk and crying, splattering, breaking up, two men fighting for a woman, and Lu Xiaoqi is happy to watch.

Every time Lu Xiaoqi would pull Qiqiao to buy the ingenious mask and bring it, and then taste all the food on the street, and finally go to guess the lantern riddle to see that some people can't guess and scratch their heads and get discouraged, and some can guess four or five riddles right at once, and Lu Xiaoqi guesses every time for such a pediatric thing as guessing lantern riddles, and the boss has to hurry up to close the stall, afraid that his color is not enough to give.

When I was gone, I had no strength to go shopping, and then I took Qiqiao to the opera garden to listen to the play, and the drama was the same every year, and there was nothing new to speak of.

It wasn't until there were fewer people on the street that Lu Xiaoqi took Qiqiao to crawl back to his yard from the low wall, and sometimes he was tricked by Lu Xiaoran and let people move the haystacks in the low wall, but Lu Xiaoqi always had a way to climb back to the yard, and it had been like this for two or three years in a row, maybe Lu Xiaoran felt bored later, and he no longer ordered people to tease her.

"Miss, do you want to climb the moon tonight?" I saw Qiqiao holding the paper and wooden strips of thread for making lanterns, with a smile on his face, "When it's done, let's go and call Shanggongzi and Su Gongzi together." Qiqiao seemed to be asking Lu Xiaoqi's opinion.

By the way, I haven't seen my uncle in a few days. Lu Xiaogo also picked up the lantern on the table and made it.

"Oh, Su Gongzi said that Miss Luoying is not in good health, so she found a very quiet place to recuperate, I guess she is busy."

"Then we won't call Uncle Uncle, let's call Brother together, and Brother Qingyuan......" Lu Xiaoqi deliberately stretched his voice very long, as if he was making fun of Qiqiao, Qiqiao blushed all of a sudden, "Miss, what are you talking about." "

"I didn't say anything, your boss is not small, I see that Brother Yuan is very good."

"Miss, I only have gratitude to Prince Qingyuan, and the grace of saving his life is why I will be kind to him." Qiqiao said very seriously, and Lu Xiaoqi stopped joking, "Okay, grateful, so may I ask Miss Qiqiao, how should we play tonight?" "Yes, you have to play, you have to play, and you have to go on, don't you, Lu Xiaoqi smiled with relief.

Night is coming

This begging festival is still as lively as ever, there are more new things in the city than in previous years, there are many prayers in the sky, floating away like stars, although there is no difference every year, but every time you see this lively scene, it is difficult to make people unhappy.

"Lord, the princess is out of the house." Lin Qi came to report, Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed a hint of obscurity and was not noticed, "Take a few people to protect the princess's safety, remember not to be discovered by her." At this time, the man was on the highest tower in the city, this building was made of ebony rosewood, twenty zhang high, the attic had five floors, the glazed blue tiles were laid on the top, and the windows and doors were carved with dragon painting style on all sides, and the scenery was extraordinary.

Xiao Yichen looked at the people talking and laughing on the ground from above, many men and women who helped the old and the young, but Lu Xiaoqi could not be found.

"Brother, look, is it good-looking?" Lu Xiaoqi wore a touch of red in the crowd, lined with fair skin, and smiled sweetly, and picked up a fox mask to cover his face in front of the mask stall when he passed by, and then picked up a cat's mask and brought it to Lu Xiuran's head, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes had been bent into a crooked moon.
