The Flower in the Mirror and the Moon in the Water finally get married

After the end of the New Year's Eve banquet, Zishi has passed, so it can be regarded as the first day of the new year.Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenhuan returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion.

No matter when it was late, Xiao Haoxuan still didn't let Xia Chenhuan go, he turned upside down, the red candle burned out, and he was full on the first day of the new year.

So much so that Xia Chenhuan was very tired during the daytime sacrificial ceremony.

In the evening, Prince Xuan's mansion set up a stage, which was originally for self-entertainment in the mansion, and the always respectful servants let go today.Listening to opera and singing, drinking and having fun, it's so lively.

Even the four princes and princesses asked Gu Yao for permission, and Prince Yu Xiao Chuye brought them to Prince Xuan's mansion to join in the fun.

In the following days of the first month, there will either be banquets at Prince Xuan's mansion, or King Xuan and Princess Xuan will go to other people's houses to pay New Year's greetings.

This was the first time that Xia Chenhuan was so busy and contacted so many people after arriving in Dayan.It really made him complain in his heart.

It's not because he was tired, but because he wanted to pretend to be in love with Xiao Haoxuan in front of outsiders, he was always shy and uncomfortable.

Secondly, he has to be tense all the time, watch his words and expressions, and speak carefully, not to let himself show his flaws, let alone lose the face of Xia Guo and Xuan Wangfu.

In the end, the many female relatives also gave Xia Chenhuan a headache.Since he is a princess, he naturally talks and eats with the main wives of each mansion, except for him, they are all women.There are very few couples who are regular wives, Xia Chenhuan can be regarded as a different kind,

Most of the twins of wealthy families are raised as men, and so is the prince.She studied the Four Books, Five Classics and Six Arts, so Xia Chenhuan couldn't talk about her daughter's family.

But because of his noble status, everyone will look at his face and respect him.It made the atmosphere inexplicably awkward.

Fortunately, the noble ladies in Beijing gradually figured out Xia Chenhuan's temper, gentle and generous, and did not expect the arrogance and difficulty of a foreign son-in-law.

Xia Chenhuan's identity can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Yanjing City and making her debut successfully.

In this way, it came to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, the Lantern Festival.

Today's grand banquet in the palace is different from the New Year's Eve banquet. The scale of the Lantern Festival dinner is much larger.Many civil servants, generals, famous Confucians, guests and officials who were not there on New Year's Eve will be there.

But every year the emperor allowed his own children to leave, and let King Xuan lead the four princes and princesses to the streets to watch lanterns and cruise the river.

Si Chu and Nian Yi are at the age of pursuing self and independence, and they no longer like to stick to their parents and elder brother.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't force it either, and sent guards with high martial arts skills and experts from the Wenli Pavilion to follow, as well as shadow guards to protect secretly.After agreeing on the time to go back to the mansion, I went to play with Sichu and Nianyi by myself.

And Haojun and Haoyuan are clingy, especially their new sister-in-law.After eating, one of them held Xia Chenhuan's hand, and couldn't wait to go out of the house and go to the street.

"Sister-in-law, brother, let's go."

"That's right, the second brother and the third brother have long since disappeared."

Xiao Haoxuan nodded to Xia Chenhuan's inquiring eyes.Since the little ones like it, it's okay to go to the street together.

Xia Chenhuan really had the excitement and anticipation of the festival now, her pair of bright blue eyes were not inferior to Haojun and Haoyuan beside her.

He has a calm and cautious temperament, and he also takes Xiao Chuyi into consideration, so he seldom goes out after Dayan.I have been to the messenger's mansion two or three times, and recently I occasionally go to Jishitang.Every time I only watch the scenery of Yanjing from the carriage.

Today, not only can I be in the bustling streets of Dayan, but I can also personally experience the excitement and fun of the Lantern Festival. Xia Chenhuan is naturally happy.

In order not to get into unnecessary trouble, he also took the pills that Doctor Ji Shitang Wu Tian had given him before.This pill is the secret medicine of the Xia Kingdom court, which can turn the pupils into black within two hours.Xia Chenyu sneaked out of the palace after taking this kind of pill before.

Xia Chenhuan didn't expect Wu Tian to configure their palace secret medicine, and was really taken aback.

Xia Chenhuan wrapped the two children tightly, and after confirming that they would not catch a cold, she led one out of the house with one hand.

Haoyuan and Haojun jumped up and down, leaving Xia Chenhuan in a hurry, making Xia Chenhuan a little bit dumbfounded, so he could only follow them quickly.Xiao Haoxuan was one step away from the three of them, followed by Song Zheng and another guard Zhong Ji.

In order not to attract attention and let the two little ones better blend into the atmosphere and have fun, Xiao Haoxuan never brought too many people with him.Of course, this is only on the bright side, the people in the Shadow Guard and Wenli Pavilion have disguised their identities to protect them in secret.

Turning from Dongsan Street, where King Xuan's Mansion is located, to the main street, the eyes suddenly opened up, as if entering a completely different world.

The tall mansions, shops and stalls along the street are all hung with colorful lanterns, and even the sky is decorated with colored ropes.The colorful lights that illuminate the streets at night are as bright as day.

The usually wide avenue is now full of stalls and tourists. There is a lot of traffic, a sea of ​​people, shoulder to shoulder, hawking and singing.

Xia Chenhuan was stunned by this bustling scene, and he didn't recover until he was dragged into the crowd by two little guys.He immediately held the two of them tightly, for fear of being crowded.

Xiao Haoxuan simply stepped forward to hug Haoyuan, and Xia Chenhuan also hugged Haojun, so that they could see more clearly.

Not to mention the two little dolls, but Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenhuan.It attracted almost everyone's attention, with all kinds of eyes.

But the four of them could see that they were of noble status, Xiao Haoxuan also had the air-conditioning that strangers should not enter, and guards with swords followed behind him.Everyone knew how to keep a step distance from the four of them, and the crowded street suddenly separated a way for them, which way to go.

Hao Yuan and Hao Jun directed Xia Chenhuan and Xiao Haoxuan to go around and look at the lanterns at this stall for a while, and taste the snacks at that shop for a while.The two of you should be curious about almost anything, whether it is a handmade toy, or a jade pendant, or a craft...

It's not that the little ones haven't seen it. Not only do they play outside with Gu Yao for two months every year, but they can also go out of the palace once or twice a month on weekdays.

But the two were raised by Gu Yao since they were young, but after staying in the palace for a long time, they panicked.As soon as he left the palace, he was very excited and full of interest.

After walking for less than half an hour, the lantern in Xiao Haojun's hand had already been changed twice.Song Zheng and Zhong Ji who followed had already filled two bags of lanterns bought by the fourth prince and fifth princess, eating food and playthings.

Haojun held the candied haws in the other hand, and after eating a mouthful, she gave Xia Chenhuan a mouthful, "Sister-in-law, it's so sweet, try it."

Xia Chen smiled happily and bit off a hawthorn, it was really sweet and sour, "Thank you Haojun, it's delicious." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiao Haoxuan.

The man was really fed by Hao Yuan, he frowned and chewed, reluctantly making Xia Chen laugh with the child's helpless appearance.

Attracted by the noisy voices not far away, Haojun straightened up and stared wide-eyed, "Sister-in-law, let's go over and have a look, there seems to be something interesting."

Hao Yuan also became interested, "Brother, let's go and have a look!"

Xiao Haoxuan nodded helplessly, and walked in with Xia Chenhuan holding the two children in their arms, and the people around the stall automatically made way for them.

The yelling became more and more clear, "Everyone, just a tael of silver, and there will be a prize for guessing a question. Come and try it! Try it!"

A lot of lanterns were hung on the stand, and there were paper slips hanging from them.On the shelf at the back, there are many prizes displayed, ranging from all kinds of KitKat toys, women's rouge hairpins, bracelets and earrings, to men's jade pendant hairpins, fox fur silk and satin.It can be considered that there are many varieties, and there are as many as there should be, no wonder it has attracted many people to watch.

Xia Chen understood happily, it turned out to be guessing lantern riddles.

The stall owner saw that several people were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary manners. They must have come from wealthy families and had no shortage of money.

"This master and this son might as well try to guess the lantern riddles. You only need one tael of silver to answer the questions. A set of ten questions, the more correct answers, the more prizes. If you answer all ten questions, this branch of wild ginseng will be returned to you." You."

For a game, a tael of silver is not cheap.Xiao Haoxuan glanced at that ginseng, it was really good, a grade commonly used in Hetai Hospital.No wonder it can attract people to try.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't speak, but Haoyuan and Haojun had already pulled themselves out of their arms to the ground, shouting, "Brother, I want to guess lantern riddles!"

"Sister-in-law, I also want to guess lantern riddles!"

Xiao Haoxuan had no choice but to signal to Song Zheng.The other party immediately threw a tael of silver to the stall owner.

The stall owner collected the money with a smile on his face, opened the note under the first lantern, and said loudly, "Listen up, four, the first question: Spring is gone. Let's celebrate the solar terms."

Xia Chenhuan and Xiao Haoxuan knew each other clearly and did not speak.

Haojun and Haoyuan rolled their eyes and shouted the answer almost at the same time, "Xiazhi!"

The stall owner opened another note, "Blind people feel the elephant, type an idiom."

Haoyuan shouted faster than Haojun, "I don't know the general idea!"

"Suddenly sunny and suddenly rainy and chaotic winds, and I also typed an idiom."

This time it was Haojun who was faster, she frowned, and then her eyes widened, "The yin and yang are weird!"

The boss was very surprised, these two children are too smart.He turned on the next lantern, "There are leaves but no flowers, and there are flowers but no leaves. Before the flowers bloom, hit a plant."

The two children had confident smiles on their faces, which was too simple, and they replied in unison, "Plum blossom!"

"Before the Lantern Festival, people smile and type a word."

Now the two children were stumped, biting their lips and frowning in thought, unable to answer for a long time.

Seeing their grievances, Xia Chenhuan asked the stall owner with a light smile, "Can I answer?"

It was unfair to ask the children to answer the questions. Although the stall owner had a bad feeling, he could only nod in agreement, "Since the young master is the children's sister-in-law, the whole family can help."

Haojun and Haoyuan immediately widened their eyes, staring at Xia Chenhuan expectantly.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't speak, but also wanted to see how much Xia Chenhuan could answer.

Xia Chenhuan said softly, "People who smiled before the Lantern Festival used the word "Wan"."

The stall owner continued to ask, "Wu Jinxi fell into disbelief, name a place."

Xia Chenhuan immediately replied, "Luoyang."

"The flowers in the mountain are so red, and there is even a place name."

"Chifeng."

The stall owner was sweating coldly, this was already the eighth question.But with so many people watching, he could only continue.

"Tianyun people have a lot of skills, and it's rare to have merit but no luck. Because of the chaos in the town, it's just because of the different yin and yang techniques."

Xia Chenhuan thought for a while, "Abacus."

The stall owner was complaining incessantly, the smile on his face could no longer hold back, and he opened the next note with a bitter face, "A little loyalty to Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu Liu Guanzhang in the third battle, Sima Yi who has no words, ten great contributions to Zhao Yunjiang. Type one word .”

Xia Chenhuan thought for a while, and got the answer, "Counter, the word for calculation."

The boss regretted it in his heart, he really lost a lot this time, a big loss!

People around, including Haojun and Haoyuan, held their breath and stared quietly at Xia Chenhuan, trying to see if he could answer all the questions correctly.

Xiao Haoxuan also stared at Xia Chenhuan, his eyes were deep and not ambiguous.

Xia Chenhuan has always been respectful and reticent in front of him, Xiao Haoxuan knows that he loves to read, reads a lot, and handles the affairs of the house only methodically.

But at this moment when this person's intelligent appearance was truly displayed in front of him, Xiao Haoxuan really felt it.Such Xia Chenhuan was shining brightly, attracting everyone's attention, including Xiao Haoxuan.

It seems that I really underestimated Xia Chenhuan.Or it could be said that Xiao Haoxuan was blinded by prejudice because of his status as the prince of Xia and his cowardly temperament.

Just as the man was thinking about it, the stall owner swallowed, and couldn't hide his trembling voice, "Question [-]: Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, and jackal cats and dogs are similar. There are words and poems." , also in the Analects of Confucius, missing the direction of southeast and northwest. Type one character in each of the upper and lower couplets."

Xia Chenhuan couldn't answer for a moment, he pursed his lips and frowned, thinking for a moment.Just when the atmosphere was getting more and more suffocating, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, Xia Chenhuan burst into a smile, and softly called out, "Guess the riddle!"

"Guess the riddle," Xiao Haoxuan said in a deep voice at the same time, looking at Xia Chenhuan with admiration.

Xia Chenhuan turned her head to look at the man with surprise in her eyes, but she couldn't stop smiling.

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Haojun and Haoyuan cheered immediately, and applause and applause erupted from the surroundings.

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing! You have answered all the answers!"

"Sister-in-law, you are so smart! That's great!"

Xia Chenhuan patted the heads of the two little guys, then looked at the stall owner who was about to cry, and laughed out loud.

He said softly, "We don't want other prizes, you just need to give us those Kit Kat toys." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Haoxuan.

The man raised his eyebrows, acquiesced, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened by two points.

Xia Chenhuan saw that the two children kept looking there. They were all toys such as Hua Rongdao, Kong Mingsuo, Tangram, and Nine Links.Where do princes and princesses value other things, it's better to be with the stall owner for convenience.

The stall owner's eyes lit up, tears filled his eyes with gratitude, he hurriedly packed all the toys and handed them to Song Zheng, for fear that they would regret it.

Haojun and Haoyuan were very happy, each holding a nine-in-a-row battering in their hands, and pulling the elder brother and sister-in-law forward.

After a while, Haojun was attracted by the glass of the Western Regions, and Haoyuan was not interested in the beautiful toys that girls like.

He looked around, his eyes lit up, and he dragged Xia Chenhuan towards the slingshot stall across the street.

Seeing Xiao Haoxuan nodding his head in agreement, Xia Chenhuan stayed by Haoyuan's side with peace of mind.

When the child picked out the slingshot, the two turned around to leave, but one of them came face to face.

Before Xia Chenhuan could see the man clearly, a gleaming white dagger suddenly stabbed at them.

At the critical moment, Xia Chenhuan's only thought was to turn around and protect Haoyuan into his arms.
