Xuan Ming smiled, his eyebrows were crooked, he picked up a square candy and put it in his mouth, although the candy was a little bitter, but his heart was sweet, he looked at the box in his hand, presumably this box was made of sugar made of traditional Chinese medicine, and the one he just ate should be codonopsis sugar.

"Lord Wang, is it the candy sent by Miss Yunsi? Can your subordinates taste a piece?! Qian then swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hands to Xuan Ming's side.

Xuan Ming's face could not hide his smugness, and he allowed everyone to eat a piece.

Because of the limited one, the three of them chose very seriously, Zhan Yue picked a yellow one, which is a chrysanthemum tang, which tastes good, sweet and has a refreshing floral fragrance. Qian Mo picked a piece of black sesame candy, which tasted sweet and had the mellow aroma of sesame seeds.

Qian Sui was unlucky, picked a piece of angelica sugar, and stomped his feet bitterly.

He thought he had played a clever trick, seeing that the prince picked the candy from the third box, and seeing that the prince looked strange, he also picked a piece, but he didn't expect it to be so unpalatable.

"It's bitter!"

The master and servant laughed, and the Hades Mansion had not been so lively for a long time.

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace was not idle, especially Xuan Zheng was extremely busy.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, before dawn, Xuan Zheng got up to wash, changed into a ceremonial dress and went to the Buddhist hall to offer incense, and then he went to the dormitory of the empress dowager and the concubine, poured incense and saluted, and invited the gods everywhere.

After all the rituals were completed, Li Youcai set off firecrackers, and with a loud bang, the various palaces began to eat dumplings, and at the same time guessed which palace the emperor would stay in.

After the Spring Festival, the ministers began to take annual vacation, and Yun Tingxin also spent time at home, living a leisurely and leisurely life. Every day, I either read a book in the study, or I appreciate famous paintings with my daughter.

……

The weather was fine on this day, the sky was clear and sunny, and the temperature began to rise.

In the evening, the capital began to be lively.

In Northern Chu, the Lantern Festival party is held near the Liuqing River every year, and there are dragon dances, iron palms blowing fire, lion dances and other programs.

The dragon dance performance is very wonderful and distinctive, when dancing, by one person holding the colored beads to play the dragon, the dragon head rotates with the beads, and many other people each lift a section to follow, up and down, left and right to turn the dance, and with gongs and drums to match, very spectacular.

Today, Mrs. Yun specially allowed her sisters and brothers to go out to see the lights, and in order to ensure the safety of several people, the Hou Mansion sent many guards to follow.

A few people walked slowly on the road, watching the excitement along the way as they walked.

The ten-mile long street is brilliantly lit and full of people.

The entrances of the shops are filled with all kinds of lanterns, and the shops of the small vendors are also carefully decorated, some are hung with dragon lanterns, some are hung with red gauze lanterns, and there are round red lanterns and spinning lanterns.

There is a dragon's head in front of the dragon lantern, and the number of middle nodes of the body varies, but it is generally singular, and there is a stick under each section to support it.

The stalls that specialize in selling lanterns are decorated with lanterns of various colors: cute white rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns with short candles, and palace lanterns with various patterns.

"This rabbit lamp looks good!"

Yun Yishu smiled and picked up a rabbit lamp, thinking that Rong'er would definitely like this lamp, she hadn't seen that little girl for a long time, and she didn't know how she was doing recently.

The streets were full of people laughing and laughing, some wearing pink jackets, some wearing golden pants, some wearing pale blue shawls, and some wearing red snow ponchos.

"Sell rice balls!"

"Sell rock sugar gourds!"

"Miss, childe, guess the riddle? Ten cents at a time, guess it right, and give gifts! Give it a try! ”

The city was full of noise, and everywhere was the shouting and shouting of the peddlers, and the chatting and frolicking of handsome men and girls.

Yun Yige looked at the colorful and bright lanterns, pulled Zhu'er and Yue'er to buy a lot of things, held a sugar gourd in his left hand, a few lanterns in his right hand, and a few red sachets around his neck, with a smile in his eyes.

"The Light Dancing Girl is playing the piano!"

Liu Qingwu, the head of the drunken qin house, was wearing a white dress, playing the guqin and singing in a low voice, the woman's posture was graceful, her posture was beautiful, and her singing voice was tactful, which caused the audience to hold their breath.

The crowd heard the music and the singing moved along with the song, and soon the crowd gathered and gathered in a circle around the performers.

On the handrail of the bridge hangs an octagonal hanging lantern, tied with red silk, dancing with the wind.

"That's nice."

After the song was finished, the crowd erupted in applause, and as soon as the applause fell, the rear suddenly made a noise of gongs and drums, and it turned out that the team and floats playing Taiping drums came, and the crowd gathered around them.

"The float is coming, just ahead!"

The Oiran leaning on the Red Mansion stood on the float, and the crowd was surging, all following closely behind the float to catch a glimpse of the Oiran.

Walking the lanterns today, all the flower buildings have done their best, Zuiqinju sent Liu Qingwu, and Yihong Mansion sent Mu Xiaoxiao......

The crowd was crowded, and several people in the Hou Mansion were scattered, Yun Yishu couldn't see Yun Yige's figure, Jing Zhuang and Jing Mo were also scattered by the crowd, and the two had no choice but to jump on the eaves, only looked at Yun Yishu and Yun Yiyou's figures, but didn't see Yun Yige.

I thought that there would be many people playing here, and there would be no assassins, but I didn't expect that suddenly, two fierce men with beards rushed out of nowhere.

"Brothers, take a few little ladies and go back to be happy! Hahaha! The big man at the head had a rough voice and laughed wildly unscrupulously.

Yun Yige only felt a pain in her arm, and a powerful force dragged her away.

She pulled off the hairpin on her head and stabbed the person who was dragging her arm with all her might, and the strong man's arm was pricked with blood, but he was not afraid of the pain, and the hand that pulled her did not let go for half a minute.

The people who had been huddled together to watch the floats fled in all directions in terror.

Yun Yige reached out and took out the medicine from his arms to stun his captors, but was thrown on the carriage in the alley by the man vigorously, she shouted for help, but was stunned by the big man's palm.

Her eyes slowly closed, but she didn't expect that what she met today was a few practitioners, who seemed to be ordinary bandits and robbers.

"Fourth sister!" Yun Yishu searched anxiously in the crowd of people fleeing in a panic.

"Ahh Third sister! Fourth sister! Yun Yiyou cried and was at a loss, and the people around her were fleeing, but she didn't know where to run.

Jing Zhuang took Yun Yishu and Yun Yiyou and left quickly, and Jing Mo Fei Eaves walked the wall to find Yun Yige's figure.

"Third Miss, why don't we go back to the house first, maybe the fourth miss has already returned home."

After a while, Jing Zhuang took Yun Yishu and Yun Yiyou back to the Hou Mansion, Yun Yiyan and Yun Jingzhu also returned home safely, Yun Jingsong and Yun Jingbai saw that Yun Yige had not returned, picked up their swords and beckoned people and walked out.

Yun Yishu was also about to follow, but was stopped by the Song family: "It's enough for your eldest brother and your second brother to find someone." ”

……

The palace is also a lively scene.

The Lantern Festival is held in Nanyuan, and the concubines, princes, princesses, and some officials and family members who have been invited to accompany them are sitting together to watch wrestling, equestrian, acrobatics, singing and dancing performances.

Xuan Ming looked at the performers on the stage, his face expressionless.

After Zhan Yue said a few words in his ear, Xuan Ming's face changed greatly, and after he said a few words in the ear of Concubine Shunren, Zhan Yue pushed him away.

Yun Yige was kidnapped, and the guards of the Hou Mansion only found that the person was missing, but they didn't know where the person had gone.

When he got to the dark place, Zhan Yue asked if he wanted to report it to the government office, Xuan Ming shook his head, if it was reported to the government office, he would definitely look for it with great fanfare, and he would be shocked that the gangsters would not be able to find anyone, and even if someone found it, I am afraid that Yun Yige's reputation would not be saved.

"Where were the people taken captive?" Xuan Ming asked with a calm face.
