Xuan Ming smiled, his eyebrows crooked as he smiled. He picked up a square candy and put it into his mouth. Although the candy was a little bitter, it felt sweet in his heart. He looked at the box in his hand. This box must be full of... Candies made from traditional Chinese medicine. The one he just ate must be Codonopsis candies.

"Your Majesty, is this candy sent by Miss Yunsi? Can you try a piece?!" Qian Sui swallowed, rubbed his hands and came to Xuan Ming's side.

Xuan Ming couldn't hide his pride, and he allowed everyone to eat a piece.

Because there was only one piece, the three of them all chose carefully. Zhan Yue picked a yellow piece, which was chrysanthemum. It tasted good, sweet and had a refreshing floral fragrance.Qian Mo picked a piece of black sesame candy, which tasted sweet and had the mellow aroma of sesame.

Qian Sui was unlucky and picked out a piece of angelica candy. He stomped his feet in agony.

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

"so bitter!"

The master and servants burst into laughter. The Hades Mansion had not been so lively for a long time.

……

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

At Yinshi on New Year's Eve, before dawn, Xuan Zheng got up, washed, changed his clothes, and went to the Buddhist hall to burn incense. Then he went to the palace of the Queen Mother and the Dowager Concubine, burned incense, bowed, and worshiped the gods everywhere.

After all the etiquette was completed, Li Youcai set off firecrackers. With a loud bang, people in various palaces began to eat dumplings while guessing which palace the emperor would stay at.

After the Spring Festival, the ministers began to take annual vacation, and Yunting Xin also stayed at home, living a leisurely life of leisure and leisure.Every day I either read books in the study or appreciate famous paintings with my daughter.

……

The weather on this day was very good, the sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature began to rise.

In the evening, the capital became lively.

In Beichu, a Lantern Festival party is held every year near Liuqing River. The party includes dragon dance, iron palm fire blowing, lion dance and other performances.

The dragon dance performance is very exciting and unique. During the dance, one person plays with the dragon holding colorful beads, and the dragon's head rotates with the beads. Many other people hold a section to follow, tilt up and down, turn left and right, and coordinate with gongs and drums. Very spectacular.

Today, Mrs. Yun specially allowed her sisters and brothers to go out to watch the lanterns. In order to ensure their safety, the Hou Mansion sent many guards to follow them.

Several people walked slowly on the road, watching the excitement along the way.

The ten-mile long street is brightly lit and full of voices.

Various lights are hung at the entrance of each shop, and the stalls of the vendors are also carefully decorated. Some are hung with dragon lanterns, some with red gauze lanterns, and round red lanterns. A revolving lantern.

There is a dragon head in front of the dragon lantern. The number of segments in the middle of the body varies, but it is usually an odd number. There is a stick under each segment for support.

There are various lanterns on the stalls that specialize in selling lanterns: there are cute white rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns with a short candle, and palace lanterns painted with various patterns.

“This rabbit lantern is beautiful!”

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

People were coming and going on the street, laughing and laughing. Some were wearing pink coats, some were wearing gold trousers, some were wearing light blue shawls, and some were wearing red snow capes.

"I'm selling glutinous rice balls!"

"I'm selling candied haws!"

"Miss, sir, do you want to guess lantern riddles? Ten cents per time. If you guess it right, you will get a gift! Come and try it!"

The city was full of noise, with the shouts and shouts of vendors and the chatter and playfulness of handsome boys and girls everywhere.

Yun Yige looked at the colorful and bright lanterns, and took Zhu'er and Yue'er to buy a lot of things. She held the candied haws in her left hand, several lanterns in her right hand, and several red sachets hanging around her neck. smile.

"The Qingwu girl is playing the piano!"

The leader of Zuiqinju, Liu Qingwu, was wearing a white dress, playing the guqin and singing in a low voice. The woman's graceful figure, beautiful appearance, and melodious singing voice made the audience hold their breath.

The crowd heard the music and singing and moved to follow the singing. After a while, the crowd gathered and surrounded the performers.

There are octagonal sash palace lanterns hung on the handrails of the bridge, tied with red silk, dancing in the wind.

"sounds so good."

After the song ended, the crowd burst into applause. As soon as the applause ended, there was a sudden roar of gongs and drums from behind. It turned out that the team and floats playing the peace drum were coming, and the crowd gathered around them.

"The float is here, right in front!"

The oiran who was leaning against the red building stood on the float. Crowds of people followed closely behind the float to catch a glimpse of the oiran's beauty.

During the lantern show today, all the flower buildings tried their best. Zuiqinju sent Liu Qingwu, Yihonglou sent Mu Xiaoxiao...

The crowd was so crowded that several people in the Hou Mansion were dispersed. Yun Yishu could not see Yun Yige's figure. Jing Zhuang and Jing Mo were also dispersed by the crowd. The two had no choice but to jump up to the eaves and just watched. Yun Yishu and Yun Yiyou were not seen, but Yun Yige was not seen.

I thought there were so many people playing here that no assassins would appear, but unexpectedly, suddenly, two fierce men with beards rushed out from nowhere.

"Brothers, kidnap a few little ladies and go back to have fun! Hahaha!" The leading man's voice was rough and he laughed wildly.

Yun Yige felt a pain in her arm, and a strong force pulled her away.

She pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed the person holding her arm with all her strength. The strong man's arm was bleeding from the stabbing, but he was not afraid of the pain at all and did not let go of her hand.

People who had been crowding together to watch the float fled in panic.

Yun Yige reached out to take out some medicine from her arms to stun her captor, but was thrown violently onto the carriage in the alley by the man. She shouted for help, but was knocked unconscious by the big man's palm.

Her eyes slowly closed. Unexpectedly, the people she met today were a few practitioners. They seemed to be no ordinary bandits or robbers.

"Fourth sister!" Yun Yishu searched anxiously among the panicked crowd.

"Ah! Third sister! Fourth sister!" Yun Yiyou cried and was at a loss. People around her were running away, but she didn't know where to escape.

Jing Zhuang left quickly with Yun Yishu and Yun Yiyou, while Jing Mo flew over the walls and looked for Yun Yige.

"Third Miss, why don't we go back home first? Maybe 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. When Yun Jingsong and Yun Jingbai saw that Yun Yige had not returned, they picked up their swords. Greet people and walk out.

Yun Yishu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mrs. Song: "It's enough for your eldest brother and your second brother to find someone."

……

The palace was also a lively scene.

The Lantern Festival was held in Nanyuan. The concubines, princes, princesses, and some official family members invited to accompany them were sitting together to watch wrestling, equestrian, acrobatics, and song and dance performances.

Xuan Ming looked at the people performing on the stage with an expressionless expression.

After Zhan Yue said a few words in his ear, Xuan Ming's expression changed drastically. After he said a few words in Concubine Shunren's ear, Zhan Yue pushed him away.

Yun Yige was kidnapped. The guards of the Hou Mansion only found that he was missing, but they didn't know where he went.

When they got to the dark place, Zhan Yue asked if he wanted to report it to the government. Xuan Ming shook his head. If he reported it to the government, they would definitely search for it with great fanfare, and they would be shocked that the gangsters could not find the person. Moreover, even if the person was found, I'm afraid Yunyi Ge's reputation can't be saved either.

"Where were people kidnapped?" Xuan Ming asked with a stern face.
