Song Suqing didn't expect that there were these things behind him, and he was stunned when he heard it, but he secretly pondered for a moment following Yunguang's words, and vaguely realized something.

That night, Pei Muyao didn't seem to say much about her climbing the wall, and even the cloud ladder that was quickly found seemed to be prepared for her, which was quite a sense of waiting for the rabbit.

Now that he thinks about it, he must have heard their conversation outside a few days before he climbed the wall, and mistakenly thought that she was instigated by Yunguang.

But no matter what, Yunguang is affected by her.

Song Suqing was silent and said, "I'm sorry, he probably thinks that you instigated me to climb the wall." ”

"Huh?" Yunguang's round eyes quickly turned around a few times, "It's not wrong to say that I instigated it, but what's the matter with him?" ”

After a pause, he suddenly lengthened the end meaningfully, thinking that he had grasped the point, "Could it be that you are afraid that you will fall off the wall!?" ”

Song Suqing smiled helplessly, and poked her forehead with her fingers, "Take back your flying thoughts, don't forget, I'm climbing someone's wall." ”

Yunguang suddenly felt bored when he heard her say this, and leaned back against the back of the couch, bored: "Okay, I misunderstood." ”

"I heard that the palace went to the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion and the Taifu Mansion respectively today, and the matter of accompanying the reading should be decided."

"Well, I expected that."

The slightly familiar voice drifted along the evening breeze from far and near, and Song Suqing couldn't help frowning when he heard that it was Xie Zijin and Shen Zhiyuan's voices.

Yunguang looked at her for a moment after hearing what was involved in the conversation, and tacitly stopped.

"I just don't understand why you didn't submit your name post, so that you won't lose the election with your talent."

"That person has a lively temperament and a style of acting that is not the same person as me, if I enter the palace and get along with her for a long time, I am afraid that she will not like it, why bother."

Shen Zhiyuan smiled, "Is it because I'm afraid that he won't like it, or because you yourself have no interest in this matter." ”

Xie Zijin was silent for a while, "You know mine." ”

The sound of conversation drew closer, and the bead curtains in the cubicle collided with each other, followed by the sound of seating.

Song Xuqing's eyes stared at the partition in the compartment for a moment, silent.

But for a moment, Shen Zhiyuan's voice came through the partition, "I understand you and ask if you are afraid that the person will not like it or you are not interested, you are just stubborn, you will not take a second look at the things you don't want when others throw them in front of your eyes, but if you want it, even if the sky falls, you will not let go." ”

After Shen Zhiyuan finished speaking, Song Suqing waited for a long time and did not hear Xie Zijin's reply.

Yunguang and the two people in the compartment were not familiar with each other, but seeing that Song Suqing's expression was not quite right, he quietly squeezed her palm, pointed to the bead curtain and asked silently, "Are you leaving?" ”

Song Suqing withdrew his eyes, bowed his head slightly, and walked out.

The moment the bead curtains collided and made a sound, the compartment fell silent, and even the sound of teacups colliding was gone.

The stairs were on Xie Zijin's side, Song Suqing walked over, and the moment she stood outside the bead curtain, a trace of panic flashed in Xie Zijin's eyes.

Song Suqing took her expression into her eyes, smiled faintly, and greeted her.

After walking out of Wanting Xuan, Song Suqing and Yunguang strolled on the side of Chang'an Street.

The lanterns on both sides of Chang'an Avenue have been lit up, and at first glance they look like twinkling stars, and the dark and narrow streets are just as bright as daylight.

Picking peaches fell behind them, and after a while, they trotted up and said, "Miss, the slave maid heard that there will be fireworks by the river tonight, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Song Suqing was puzzled, "Is it a festival today?" ”

Cai Tao shook his head: "No, I heard that there is a son who specially prepared for the joy of Bojia." ”

Yunguang said: "That's to go and see." ”

As she spoke, she pulled Song Suqing and rushed to the riverside, and she was never absent from the fun.

Song Suqing hurriedly followed, and when he approached the river, the flow of people was obviously much higher than on Chang'an Street.

The breeze by the river is blowing slowly, and many vendors have found a place to set up stalls, selling mostly the things that the girl's family likes to replace the hairpins.

After only a few stalls, the maid who followed Yunguang's side was already occupied with all kinds of things.

'Huh~'

Song Suqing looked sideways, and happened to see the fireworks blooming in mid-air, and the little sparks slowly fell, followed by the second beam of fireworks rising, unlike the first one, this beam bloomed in the shape of a peach blossom.

"Yunguang, look!"

Song Suqing opened his mouth slightly, and fell straight into Pei Muyao's dark eyes, and the sky full of fireworks fell from behind him, illuminating the angular face.

Pei Muyao didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak, just stared at her silently.

The clouds on her side disappeared nowhere, and even the peach picking was nowhere to be seen, and when her soothing brows and eyes furrowed, she heard Pei Muyao say: "She took your maid to chase after the old man who sold dragon beard cakes." ”

Song Suqing said incredulously, "Ah", Yunguang went to chase it, why did he go to pick peaches?

Fireworks rise, bloom, fall.

Pei Muyao locked his eyes on her body, and the trance of Shicai had dissipated at some point, leaving only Song Suqing's figure at this moment.

After being silent for a long time, Pei Muyao raised his eyes and glanced at the night sky, and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Song Xu cleared his head, "The fleeting appearance is very beautiful." ”

Pei Muyao lowered her eyes, and the light of her eyes fell on her without blinking, "When was the last time you saw it?" ”

The shouts of the street vendors along the river and the chatter of the crowd were staggered, and the fireworks resounded through the sky, but when all these sounds reached Song Suqing's ears, it was as if they were separated by an invisible wall.

If you really want to talk about the last time you watched fireworks, it was the day she married into the East Palace, and the firelight in the sky illuminated the entire Shengjing, so beautiful.

But in this life, it should be the day of the Lantern Festival.

Song Xu cleared his thoughts, "I saw it on Chang'an Street that day of the Lantern Festival. ”

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Pei Muyao spent time in the palace, and he didn't know what activities were on Chang'an Street.

The moment Ke Shicai met her, the fireworks burst into the small side face, and a scene he had never seen before came into his eyes.

She stood at the height of the attic in a concubine-colored dress, her slightly pursed lips slightly opened with the blooming fireworks, her bright eyes reflected the wisps of fireworks, and even the corners of her drooping eyes were dyed with a little smile, but it was only for a moment.

"Sister, do you want to buy a fox mask?" The little girl who came out of nowhere pulled the corner of Song Suqing's clothes, her eyes were timid, "I did it myself." ”

Song Suqing often encountered this kind of thing on the street, so he was accustomed to bending down to look at her at eye level, and spread his hands: "Show me." ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took out a mask from the basket, "This is it." ”

Song Suqing took the mask and looked at it carefully, the fox painted on the mask was not very similar to the style of the stall, there was a little more innocence, and he raised his eyes and called: "Picking peaches." ”

After shouting, she remembered that she had gone to chase the old man who had gone to sell the dragon whisker cake with a hesitant face.

"Give." Pei Muyao half-squatted down and gave the copper coin to the little girl.

The little girl happily took the coin, thanked her, and ran away.

Song Suqing didn't take advantage of him either, and handed the mask over, "The money you pay is your thing." ”

Pei Muyao took it, glanced at the little fox on the mask by the light, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

Song Suqing looked at him inexplicably, and then realized that he shouldn't like this kind of gadget, and said, "Princess Huilan may like it, you can give it to her." ”

Pei Muyao was half-squatting, his eyes rose a little, for some reason, he only felt that the arrogant and coquettish appearance of the fox on this mask was very similar to her.

Thinking so, he raised his hand slightly.

Song Xuqing's eyes suddenly darkened, and when he reacted again, he could already see the figure standing in front of her through the two small holes, and after a while, he withdrew his hand, and only after there was no mask to cover it, did he see the smile in his eyes.

But in an instant, the mask fell into her hands.

Pei Muyao said: "Since it is so similar to you, it is your thing." ”

Chapter 22: Entering the Palace

(Do you know my son?) )

Approaching the summer season, the night breeze blows slowly, not as hot as the day, the lights in the warm jade pavilion are bright, and the wind blows the windows creaking.

The painting screens and peach picking on both sides of the door looked at the young lady sitting quietly on the couch, her eyelashes drooping, and her white and pink fingertips rubbed the mask in her hand for a while, and her expression was particularly focused.

The two maids glanced at each other sideways, there were not ten pairs of similar masks in the Warm Jade Pavilion, but there were also seven or eight pairs, there were more than this delicate mask, and neither of them knew how beautiful this mask was.

"Draw the screen, pick peaches."

"Ah, miss."

Hearing the cries coming from inside, the two walked in small steps.

Song Suqing held the mask and asked sideways, "Is this like me?" ”

The two maids were stunned, looked closer, and shook their heads.

Hearing this, Song Xuqing lowered her eyes, and the cute little fox looked at her with a smile, and she didn't feel very similar.

Pei Muyao should have been dazzled before he felt similar.

Thinking so, she handed the mask to the screen, covered her mouth and yawned, "You put it away, I'll rest." ”

The painting screen took the mask, and the peach retreated sideways to the side of the couch and slowly lowered the curtain.

After a day of rest, Song Xu threw himself into his schoolwork early in the morning, vowing to make up for the past missed schoolwork.

In the past, I always felt that schoolwork was the most boring thing in the world, but compared to the time when I had nothing to do in the East Palace, I was a little happy when schoolwork continued slowly.

Because he wanted to enter the palace to meet the queen's mother, Song Suqing took leave when he saw off the gentlemen, and it was not until he saw off Luo Yin at night that he was really relieved.

Song Suqing stretched out against his tired body, "Paint the screen, prepare water." ”

"Schoolwork is over?"

Xu's voice came from behind herself, Song Suqing looked back, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and ran to her, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"You will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and I will come to talk to you." Xu pinched his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his daughter's forehead distressedly, "Don't lose your etiquette." ”

The maid who was waiting by her side heard the sound of Xu's strings, so she didn't follow forward.

The Xuanwu Marquis family has a great business, and the Xu family, unlike other ladies, did not require her daughter to abide by etiquette since she was a child, and learned those things that eat human bones, only hoping that she could live happily and not have to be troubled by the rules.

So over the years, she never thought of taking her daughter Duoduo into the palace, but she didn't expect that there would be such a day, and she could only hand over some rules to her on the eve of entering the palace.

Today's queen Xu Jincheng is the daughter of a military general, her father accompanied the emperor to fight in the north and south, but she did not wait for the day of the capital, after her parents died in battle, the old prince and his wife adopted the queen who was not yet in time and regarded it as their own.

"I met her a few times before she left the cabinet, and it can be regarded as an old acquaintance." Xu took his daughter's hand and strolled through the courtyard of the Nuan Yu Pavilion, "Niangniang's temperament is not as unkind as outsiders say, if you can win her favor, it is naturally a good thing, but you don't have to force it." ”

Xu Shi stretched out his hand to brush away the branch that fell on the side of his head, and continued: "Niangniang has experienced the pain of losing a son and a daughter, and she especially cherishes her juniors, you don't have to have too much burden, the princess Huilan raised is unrestrained, and the emperor and Niangniang are not willing to detain her, and they will not ask you to do anything, just enter the palace with peace of mind." ”
