Xiahou's house is near Taixue, because of the holiday, most of the teachers, students, and officials are not there, and they are more pure than in the past.

However, because of the festival, when I opened the window on the second floor, I could hear a noise in the distance, which seemed to be singing and dancing, and it seemed to be laughter.

"Miss, the old lady has rested." The maidservant came in and said, "Rest also." ”

Miss Xiahou leaned against the window and shook her head: "I'll wait." ”

The maidservant looked at the dripping and said, "The lantern feast in the imperial city is coming to an end. Said with a smile, "Is Miss waiting for Mr. Lu to come?" ”

Miss Xiahou was also calm: "As a student of my father, and Hanlin appointed by His Majesty, he will definitely be called to compose poems, and he will definitely not let himself and His Majesty lose face, get the first place, and get Your Majesty's reward." Speaking of this, he smiled again, "As for him, he will definitely ask for a royal lantern." ”

When the maidservant heard this, she suddenly realized that she laughed again.

"I understand, Miss, you didn't go to watch the lanterns, Lu Gongzi wants to bring back the lanterns in front of the palace for you."

Miss Xiahou did not deny it, looking at the night outside the window and smiling lightly, Lu Sangongzi is such a person, he is knowledgeable and interesting, free and natural, and being good to a person is good with his intentions.

It is a rare blessing to have such a husband with you for a lifetime.

How can women not like such good men? Thinking about it this way, I really can't blame that Seven Stars.

I just hope that the seven stars will understand that no matter how good a man is, it is really good to be happy with each other, otherwise he will just suffer himself.

"Miss, you go to sleep, he is so careful, he will definitely not come in and disturb everyone, the lantern will leave when it is delivered to the door." The handmaid said with a smile.

Miss Xiahou turned her head and smiled: "He has a heart, but I don't?" ”

The so-called heart-to-heart communication is to have this word, mutual, just blindly let people have a heart, sooner or later it will be hearty.

What's more, in terms of knowing and knowing, will she lose to him?

"I prepared ginger soup, and I personally served it to congratulate him on winning the first prize in poetry."

The handmaid smiled and replied.

Miss Xiahou continued to lean against the window, watching the flickering lights far and near.

I don't know when the lights sink and dissipate.

Miss Xiahou only felt that her arms were also heavy, as if she had fallen on an iron scale, she shook the ground and opened her eyes.

As far as the eye can see, it is no longer the bright and dark night, although the night of last night is dim, but it is dotted with light, and at this moment there is only a dim.

And she no longer leaned in front of the window, but reclined on the bed.

Not yet seriously asleep, it seemed to be leaning against the bed, and then slipped and fell crookedly, holding down the arm.

Miss Xiahou rubbed her arm, and also remembered what was going on, wait, wait, the door has not been knocked, the maidservant persuaded her to go to the bed and squint for a while, and when the people come, they will definitely call her, and they will not let Lu Gongzi pass through the door without entering.

I didn't expect this squint to reach dawn.

Miss Xiahou subconsciously looked at the table, on which there were tea bowls, snacks, and a hand stove that was put down casually, just like last night, there was no extra lantern.

So you didn't send the lights last night?

Didn't you win a reward?

Miss Xiahou thought wildly, got off the bed, and was just about to call someone, the maid hurriedly came in, and didn't care about greeting Miss You woke up, and said "Oh no, Miss, Lu Sangongzi had an accident last night." ”

Miss Xiahou was walking to the table to pick up the tea, and when she heard the words, she paused: "What's wrong with him?" ”

I thought that there was really something delayed, otherwise I wouldn't have come.

Inexplicably relieved.

It's strange, I don't panic when I hear that something happened to him, maybe I'm sure he can resolve it even if he encounters something.

Sure enough, the maidservant's next sentence was, "He's fine." ”

"It's his sister." The maidservant said, "Last night when I was watching the lanterns, his sister fell into the water and was rescued by Huo Dudu. ”

Saved by Huo Lian? This thing does sound weird, when will Huo Lian save people? It will also save the lives of prisoners who cannot die yet, and the purpose is not to save, but to torture, so as to squeeze more, or simply torture.

Miss Xiahou was also a little stunned, and the next moment she came back to her senses and her expression became strange.

"Sister?"

How can Lu Yizhi have a sister in the capital?

She sat down with her teacup in her hand, and her heart sank.

……

……

When Miss Xiahou came to her mother's side, her mother had already gotten up.

"Someone came before dawn."

The lady in charge of the courtyard here said.

It is about Lu Yizhi, in the eyes of everyone, it is also about the Xiahou family, so the good friends with the Xiahou family hurriedly sent a capable servant to inform him.

Mrs. Xiahou was woken up before dawn, and Miss Xiahou's maidservant was also told by her.

While talking here, someone came running outside the door, saying that the lady of which family asked someone to borrow something to put it on a display, this was just an excuse, but in fact she asked the servant woman to pass the word.

The lady in charge gestured to Miss Xiahou, seeing that this was it, and then invited Miss Xiahou in, and she was busy meeting the servant.

If necessary, he brought it to Mrs. Xiahou to speak in person, and simply listened to it himself.

"The first time I went to the banquet, I was nervous, and I crossed the bridge again, and I fell into the water." Mrs. Xiahou stretched out her hand and pressed her forehead to explain to Miss Xiahou.

Being suddenly woken up and coming to the door one after another, it really scared her at first, and her head hurt a little, but now that she knows what is going on, she is not so nervous.

"Huo Lian is to prevent accidents from disturbing the lantern feast, which is also his duty."

The lady in charge also came back at this time, and conveyed the words of Mrs. So-and-so's servant who had just delivered the news, which was nothing more than some "The injury is not serious." "There's a doctor watching" or something like that.

Mrs. Xiahou nodded, and turned her head to see Miss Xiahou sitting on the chair stunned.

"If you are worried, call him." She said, smiling again, "I guess he's going to come in person at dawn, so he must be at home to settle his sister." ”

Miss Xiahou said, "I haven't heard of any of his sisters. ”

Mrs. Xiahou was stunned: "Xu just came, because your father was sick, he was embarrassed to come to the door to bother, and he didn't tell you." ”

Miss Xiahou shook her head slowly.

Not bothering Lu Yizhi is indeed something that Lu Yizhi will do, but taking his sister to the lantern banquet is definitely not something he will do.

I had a younger sister before, and I didn't let the door out, so I rushed back, so cautious, how could I bring it to the lantern banquet in the imperial city?

"In the end, it's a royal banquet, who doesn't want to go and see it, even if Miss Lu has such an elder brother, she probably only has this one chance in her life." Mrs. Xiahou said.

Miss Xiahou still shook her head slowly, Lu Yizhi, he is not this kind of person who spoils his sister, he has his own ideas very much, and he is very firm in what he can and can't do.

As the mother and daughter were talking, the sky was gradually brightening, and the lady in charge, who had just gone out, hurried again, followed by a servant woman carrying a basket.

This is a servant woman who is purchased in the kitchen, and she will not come to Mrs. Xiahou every day.

"Ma'am, ma'am, no." The housekeeper's lady hurriedly said, "Huo Dudu took Lu Gongzi's sister ..... back to the house." ”

The servant woman who bought vegetables nodded hurriedly: "Yes, madam, I went to the street to buy vegetables, and it spread all over the place, and..."

She looked up at Mrs. Xiahou and Miss Xiahou, and seemed to be unable to speak.

Mrs. Xiahou slapped the table: "And what? ”

"And it's.," said the servant, gritting her teeth, "and taking it back." ”

Mrs. Xiahou's face froze, and she was speechless for a while.

Miss Xiahou held her hand in front of her and seemed to say to herself: "This is terrible." ”

……

……

"At that time, the lantern feast had not yet dispersed, and the people celebrating the festival on the street were also crowded."

"Suddenly, a group of guards came out in droves, dispersed the crowd in the streets, and escorted a carriage."

"Everyone knows that the carriage that is tightly windowless and terrifying in black pressure is Huo Lian's."

"Although few people approached the Metropolitan Judge, last night's holiday, there were still many people passing by the door of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and many people saw the carriage Huo Lian coming down, holding a person in his arms."

"The lights outside the Metropolitan Inspectorate were bright, and it was as if it were daytime, and although the man was tightly wrapped, his exposed hair and body shape were like a woman."

Although I didn't see the woman's face clearly, it didn't matter to many people, the important thing was that Huo Lian hugged a woman back home.

This unprecedented sight spread in the city that night, and after dawn, everyone knew about the vendors who sold vegetables and sold breakfast in the market, as if they had seen it in person.

You don't need to see it in person, Lu Yizhi also knows.

He waved his hand and motioned for the little guy to say no more.

Rushing back from the palace last night, I already knew that Qixing had not returned.

Lu Yizhi didn't speak, he just covered his face with his hands and rubbed it, as if he was relieving the fatigue of not sleeping all night.

The little servant trembled and said, "Son, that servant, was he arrested by the Metropolitan Prosecutor?" ”

Lu Yizhi let out a breath from between his fingers.

"If only I had been caught." He said.

It's better to be killed on the spot.

But now it's so bad.
