A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 68

Taking advantage of the stunned skills of these people, Jiuzhu carried the skirt and walked to Shen’s side: “Mother, let’s go.”

“Come down, don’t panic.” Shen smiled: “In the future, when you meet someone who doesn’t want to talk, just keep smiling and slightly drooping eyelids, and they will leave by themselves with interest.”

Jiuzhu chuckled softly: “Will this look too arrogant?”

“No, this is not called arrogance, it is expensive for the superior.” Shen glanced at the people who had surrounded Jiuzhu just now: “True smart people will not use this stupid method to please you.”

Jiuzhu sighed: “Let’s do whatever it takes, people in the capital, it’s really hard to live.”

Shen laughed: “I forgot, Taoism pays attention to everything you do, and you are free and easy. Your personality is a bit of a Dao family’s free and easy way.”

She patted her daughter’s arm, and concealed her worry very well.

But after marrying to the royal family, can Queen Su and Wang Chen allow their daughters to do this forever?

“Ming County Lord’s temperament, I will marry to the royal family…” Princess Huai and Sun Caiyao walked side by side, witnessing the process of Ming Jiuzhu being flattered, and then leaving in a hurry, with a somewhat melancholy tone: “The naive little girl, marry me again. When you enter the royal family, you become a vine entwined with branches and trees.”

After saying this, realizing something was wrong, Princess Huai smiled at Sun Caiyao: “Just a few jokes, don’t take the four siblings seriously. The mother and concubine are in poor health, so I will help her return to the palace.”

Princess An and Princess Jing both went to serve their mother-in-law. Sun Caiyao stood there, looking at the less and less crowded outer hall, not knowing where to go.

“Tonight, is it Yuanxiaoye?” She touched the phoenix tail golden hairpin on her head and smiled bitterly. The mother-in-law passed away less than forty-nine days, and as her son and daughter-in-law, His Royal Highness and her son and daughter-in-law, not only could not wear a linen and filial piety, but also wore brocade clothes and golden hairpins on the day of the post-apocalyptic ceremony.

On the Lantern Festival in previous years, she always went to the street with her father, brother and sisters to guess lantern riddles and watch street operas. This year, I am afraid that no one can accompany her.

“The prince…” The lady of the palace looked at her worriedly. The prince and concubine have not taken a good rest these days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

“It’s okay.” Sun Caiyao returned to the Sixth Palace of Zhang, took off her hairpin ring jewelry, and changed into a plain brocade. She leaned against the window, watching the darkening sky.

It’s so late, where did the palace go down?

The Mingyue Palace is full of red lanterns and red hydrangea. Even the eunuchs of the palace wore red belts around their waists, as if they were holding a wedding.

Emperor Longfeng looked at his son who was staring at the red lantern, and asked with a smile, “Little girl from the Ming family, will I go to the lantern show with my family tonight?”

“It’s the first time for the little girl to spend the Lantern Festival in the capital. Of course I have to watch it.” Wang Chen retracted the gods: “Father, what are you asking about this?”

“Go if you want.” Emperor Longfeng waved his hand: “The little girl had a hard time before, you fiance, you shouldn’t miss her first Lantern Festival in Beijing.”

Wang Chen moved his butt, and sat back again: “Father, the sons and ministers are not the kind of people who forget their parents when they have a wife. The sons and ministers should accompany you tonight.”

“Really?” Emperor Longfeng raised his eyebrows.

“Really.” Wang Chen glanced at the darkening sky, gritted his teeth and nodded.

Emperor Longfeng looked at his far-away son even though he was there, and smiled and kicked him with his foot: “Go! Go, who wants you to accompany you on my important day with your mother?”

Wang Chen sideways avoided this kick, and poured tea for Emperor Longfeng and Su Hou: “Really not let the children accompany you?”

“I heard from Liu Zhongbao that the eldest and the eldest, the second and the third, have taken the princess out of the palace to play.” Emperor Longfeng got up and took Su Empress’s hand: “When I meet with your mother, you should also go out of the palace. If you want to stay In Mingyue Palace, I don’t force it…”

“Erchen will not disturb the father and the queen, and the son of the emperor retires.” Wang Chen stood up and ran for a few steps, then turned his head and ran back, and stretched out his hand in front of Emperor Longfeng.

Emperor Longfeng drew out his sleeves and threw a purse into his hand: “How old are you, go out with your fiancée, and you have to pay for your father.”

“Father, give me some more.” Wang Chen continued to stretch out his hand: “It’s tweed for two people.”

“Liu Zhongbao.” Emperor Longfeng sighed helplessly: “Give him a silver ticket.”

Liu Zhongbao took out a few silver tickets from his arms and smiled and asked, “Your Majesty, which one do you plan to give to your Highness?”

Wang Chen jumped up and took all the silver bills in his hands: “Thank you father and mother, thank you mother, my son and minister will leave!”

Looking at the joyful figure of His Royal Highness Chen Wang, Liu Zhongbao smiled and bends down to plead guilty: “The old slave is not strong enough to protect the silver, and I beg your majesty to punish him.”

“That’s all, that’s all, I think you clearly intend to protect the silver.” Emperor Longfeng smiled without anger: “Let’s go, all go outside the palace to see the folk fireworks.”

After Wang Chen took the money and ran to Ming’s house with the dragon guard, he learned that Ming’s family had been out for half an hour, and the servants didn’t know where they would go to play.

Looking at the bustling crowd, the smile on Wang Chen’s face gradually faded. Walking on the shoulder-to-shoulder street, he found that apart from the crowds and the old-fashioned styles of lamps, the Lantern Festival was meaningless.

Gifted scholars and beautiful people guessed lantern riddles, military commanders carried large and small bags for their wives, and the Lantern Festival stall was full of guests, braving the steaming steam in the cold night.

“His Royal Highness.” The Dragon Guard asked in a low voice, “Do you want to go back to the palace now?”

“No, my king walks around at will.” He saw a lantern stall selling puppy lanterns, he paid for it, and held it in his hand.

The music of Le Ling is not good, the acrobatics on the juggling booth are so awkward that you can see through it at a glance, and even the harlequin scenes that make people haha ​​are boring.

The candle in the lantern was about to burn out, and the lights flickered. Wang Chen stopped, looked up at the full moon in the sky, sneered, and turned to the dragon guard and said, “Go find a new candle.”

“Brother, that lamp is so beautiful.” Jiuzhu pointed to a lamp on the lamp stand: “I want to buy it.”

Ming Jiyuan looked down at the four or five lights in his hand and nodded without principle: “Buy.”

“Shopkeeper, how much is this lamp?” Jiuzhu walked to the lamp shop and pointed to the top lamp.

“Girl, this is our display, not for sale.” Seeing that the little girl was pretty and lovable, the store explained in a good mood: “You can look at the other lights in our house.”

“Don’t sell it?” Jiuzhu slumped down his shoulders: “Okay.”

Mingji had a foresight, and quickly comforted: “Should we go to look elsewhere?”

“Okay.” Jiuzhu nodded, but the two brothers and sisters walked two or three streets, and they didn’t find the light just now. Jiuzhu sat down on the stone bench by the side of the road discouragedly: “It seems that I can’t buy such a beautiful light tonight. “

“Like that lamp?” Ming Jiyuan bought two masks and handed one to Jiuzhu: “Then brother will help you figure out a solution.”

“No need, brother.” Jiuzhu shook his head: “His Royal Highness can’t come out in the palace tonight. I just want to buy a few beautiful lamps and bring them into the palace to show him. It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy them.”

“These lights are all bought for His Royal Highness Chen Wang?”

“No.” Jiuzhu smiled and pointed to one of them: “This one is for my brother. I just found out that you peeked at this lamp for several times, and the remaining ones belonged to my father, mother, and sister vernal equinox.”

“What about yours?” Ming Jiyuan asked with a smile.

Jiuzhu was stunned: “I forgot…”

“You.” Ming Jiyuan laughed and put the mask on his face: “Let’s go, my brother will accompany you to pick the lamp you like.”

Jiuzhu followed his elder brother’s way, put the mask on his face, and followed him bouncely: “Brother, I just saw a lot of talented people guessing lantern riddles. You are so talented, why not go?”

“Guessing lantern riddles is an opportunity for many students to show their faces. I have already entered the court as an official, so why bother with them.” Ming Jiyuan was afraid that his sister would be lost, and said: “There are many people on the road, holding my clothes, don’t get lost. “

“Then let’s go to the lantern show.” Jiuzhu grabbed Ming Jiyuan’s clothes, “There are a lot of people around.”

“Okay.” Ming Jiyuan held several lanterns in one hand and his sister in the other, squeezing steadily into the crowd, occupying an excellent viewing position.

Through the mask, he couldn’t see the expression on his sister’s face, but he knew that her sister must be smiling happily at the moment.

She exclaimed after everyone, clapping hands with them, carefree, innocent and innocent.

Under the fire tree and silver flowers, she took off her mask, her beautiful eyes were full of happy stars.

If he can choose, he does not want his sister to marry the royal family.

But in order to buy a lamp for Chen Wang, she can walk a few streets without paying attention to the street scenery and too late to taste the flavor of Lantern Festival.

“Brother?” Seeing his brother looking at him, Jiuzhu touched his face in confusion: “What’s the matter?”

“Wear the mask.” Ming Jiyuan helped her put on the mask: “The lantern show is over, I will take you to taste the Lantern Festival?”

“Okay.” She nodded and agreed, and when she passed by the lantern shops, she still subconsciously looked for the lantern she liked.

Suddenly, Jiuzhu saw a person carrying a puppy lamp in her left hand and the non-buying lamp in her other hand, and ran forward quickly: “Master, please stay.”

The man carrying the lantern stopped and suddenly turned his head to look at her wearing the mask: “Ming Xiaozhu?”

“Your Highness?!” Jiuzhu took off his mask: “How do you know it’s me?”

“Don’t say you are wearing a mask, even if your whole head is blindfolded, I can guess it is you.” He looked down at the lights in his hands and handed them all to her: “Here, here you are.”

The candle in the lantern flickered, and Jiuzhu took the two lanterns: “Did you buy them all for me?”

“Other than you, who else can I buy for?” Wang Chen carefully studied the mask on her face: “Where did I buy this, I will buy one too.”

Jiuzhu turned around and looked at Ming Jiyuan: “Brother, where did you buy this mask?”

“Go ahead about a hundred steps, and there will be a stall selling masks.” Ming Jiyuan looked at the dog lamp in Jiuzhu’s hand. He remembered that his sister was a dog.

“It turns out that the third son of Ming is also here.” Wang Chen nodded to him politely: “I wonder if the minister Ming and Mrs. Ming are walking with you?”

“Back to Your Highness, my father and my mother have other arrangements.” Ming Jiyuan looked at the Lantern Lantern in Ming Jiuzhu’s hand and spoke politely: “The little girl just now wanted to buy this lamp for His Highness to enter the palace, and she has been walking three whole streets. I didn’t buy it at all. I didn’t expect His Highness to buy it himself. Perhaps, this is fate.”

“His Majesty, Shemei is young and innocent, please send her back to the mansion before Zishi.” Ming Jiyuan smiled slightly: “The subordinates will leave first.”

Wang Chen gazed at his future eldest brother with satisfaction. It’s no wonder that some people used to boast that Jiyuan is the gentle and elegant son of Pian Pianjia, what a kind person.

“Brother.” Jiuzhu stopped Ming Jiyuan, eyes distraught: “Why did you leave first?”

“I remember that there is still something to deal with.” Ming Jiyuan looked at Wang Chen: “His Royal Highness will accompany you well.”

One walks through the streets and wants to buy the best lamp for him.

One bought a puppy lamp for her and carried it in his hand, not knowing how long he had been walking in the crowded street.

Where is he willing to be the queen mother who draws hairpins and draws the Milky Way.
