Qingxi tomorrow morning

Ye Mingchen wrapped his arms around Lan Xi's shoulders, hugged Lan Xi, and said:

"Thank you, Lan Xi, for treating me so well all these years, like a brother."

"My lord..." Ye Mingchen's earnest words made Lan Xi's eyes water slightly, and something seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she didn't know what to say. The two words she spit out were like broken strings, trembling slightly.

If it wasn't for the master, I would be just a beggar whose parents were killed by the enemy and had no choice but to live on the street. If it weren't for the young master, my life would be gray, and there would be no light in my life. Until now, I still remember the nine-year-old boy. Young master, took my hand and said, little brother, from now on, this is your home. I have never felt that the sun is as bright as that day, and tears can flow from closed eyes.

"I only hope that the young master will be well, that's all, so... I hope that the young master will never disappoint Lan Xi's only request."

"No, Lanlan, Xixi and I are serious. Even if we separate in the future, I will never regret it. However, I believe in him and myself."

Ye Mingchen smiled and said to Lan Xi, but his expression was extremely serious. He is only 17 years old now, and he dare not say what his life will be like in the future. The only thing he can be sure of is his own heart. heart together.

"Young master, Lan Xi, believes everything."

It was the first time for the two of them to have such a serious conversation, and when they finished what they had to say, there was only silence, and their eyes met. For the first time, they felt that getting along with an existence like a relative would be so embarrassing.

"Then..., my lord, let's go to bed early." Perhaps because she didn't think about what expression to use, Lan Xi's face was expressionless when she spoke, but her eyes were erratic.

"Well, good." Finally, when the concluding remarks came, Ye Mingchen heaved a sigh of relief, turned around without hesitation, and took a few steps out without forgetting to close the door.

Back in her room, Lin Qingxi was holding the scissors and was cutting the wick of the candle. When she saw Ye Mingchen came back, she didn't have time to put it down.

"Finally, I'm back. If you don't come back again, I'll go to Lan Xi to ask for the princess."

Lin Qingxi was originally waiting in Lan Xi's room with Ye Mingchen, and the time didn't feel difficult. After Lin Qingqing came back, Ye Mingchen drove Lin Qingxi out, and stood firm by herself. Lin Qingxi, who returned to the room alone, could only guard alone Empty bed, so bored that he fiddled with the tail of the medicine juice. The medicine juice that was sleeping was really unbearable in the end. He jumped outside to hide in a tree. Lin Qingxi was even more bored. After nearly half an hour, the future princess finally came back.

Lifting the big head on the shoulders, it's so heavy... Looking at the prince who looks like a big dog, Ye Mingchen thought to himself, probably only himself has seen such a king Zhan, pinched Lin Qingxi's face and said:

"It is clearly agreed that you will marry into the Ye family, but I am your future husband-in-law, and you are the young wife of the Ye family."

Lin Qingxi hugged Ye Mingchen and fell on the bed, dragging his hands under Ye Mingchen's head so as not to hurt the person, pressing on Ye Mingchen's body, and whispered softly:

"Sister-in-law, go to bed."

Ye Mingchen put the back of his hand on his face, feeling a little blind.

The next day, several people got up early, not all because of the anticipation of the Sixia Festival, but also because of yesterday's assassination that was not so dangerous.

Lan Xi's attitude towards Lin Qingxi is still cold, but it is much better than the previous meeting where he was like a wolf guard.

But Lin Qingxi didn't care. While eating breakfast, she dutifully made dumplings for Ye Mingchen and poured tea, and waited until Ye Mingchen finished the last mouthful of porridge before slowly starting to talk.

"Yesterday's assassin is not like a professional killer, his skills are too poor."

Lin Qingqing swallowed a mouthful of steamed stuffed bun, said:

"[-]% are just here to find out, the real thing is still waiting behind."

"Then today is the best opportunity." Lan Xi glanced at the street outside.

It was still early in the morning, but the street hawkers had already crowded the streets on both sides. Except for the gap at the entrance of the shop, there was no room for half a person's width in other places. There were more and more people watching and playing. The trend of rubbing shoulders and heels, the noisy voices can be called lively, not to mention noisy.

At such a time, the assassins would put on their normal uniforms and rush into the crowd, making it extremely difficult to catch them.

"Not necessarily." Ye Mingchen frowned, and said lightly, "Those assassins made a move yesterday, and they already threatened the enemy. If we act again today, we will be prepared. This is not the best policy, but these few days are indeed a good time. , I asked Shunzi, although the Sixia Festival is only for one day, the city will celebrate it for three days, and the last day is the most lively."

"It seems that you have to pay attention to these three days." Lin Qingqing agreed.

Lin Qingxi seemed to think of something, and added:

"Forgot to mention, those assassins all have blue eyes."

"Blue eyes?" Lan Xi was a little surprised, but Lin Qingqing nodded in her heart clearly. It turned out that this was what Qiao Gongyu meant by the foreign race.

"Is it a foreign race?" Lan Xi thought for a while and added, "But I have never heard of any foreign race with blue eyes. Only the barbarians in the northwest grassland have different eyes. They are not blue, but light blue."

"They look just like us except for their eyes."

Generally, Hu people outside the Great Wall have a very different body shape from those in the Central Plains. Perhaps because of their long tradition of horse racing and hunting and advocating force, their skeletons are much larger than those in the Central Plains. There is no half difference, which is one of the reasons for their confusion.

"I think... Palace Master Qiao will know something." Ye Mingchen said, "However, he doesn't want to say more, and we don't want to ask more, so we just follow his instructions and bring more fire seeds. Can't figure it out."

Ye Mingchen was not the only one who was confused, they couldn't think of many clues, and could only take one step at a time.

Ye Mingchen, who has been habitually smoothing his hair for the past two days, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly looked at Lin Qingxi,

"Where's the kitten?"

Lin Qingxi sat up straight in embarrassment, the hand that was about to reach out to rub Ye Mingchen's head stopped in the air, then retracted embarrassingly, coughed twice with his fist on his lips, and said calmly:

"I guess it was taken back by the master. I woke up yesterday and suddenly jumped out of the window and disappeared."

Lin Qingqing looked at Lin Qingxi suspiciously, always felt that the emperor's brother was guilty, but Ye Mingchen didn't suspect him. He never expected that the majestic prince would be jealous with a cat, and even made the cat jump out of the window to escape. He lowered his eyelashes and said regretfully: "I thought this cat had no owner."

As for Lan Xi, most of the time, he doesn't believe a single word that comes out of the prince's mouth, but since the young master has chosen him, he doesn't need to say extra words, anyway, no matter what the truth is, I guess the young master's attitude towards this person , and nothing will change.

Luo Linshui was sitting at a noodle stall eating noodles. Diagonally opposite was the alley where Ye Mingchen and Lin Qingxi were assassinated yesterday. He could see the corner outside the courtyard of the blue-eyed man. Anyone who came out of it would have a panoramic view. Juicing curled up on the table and licked his paws, his forehead was suddenly flicked, and he lay down on the table and pretended to be dead.

Luo Linshui looked helplessly at the medicine juice,

"Pharmaceutical juice, it's too useless for a prince to scare you back, alas..., I have to run around on both sides, you, don't eat fish this month to lose weight."

"Boss, serve a bowl of wontons."

Luo Linshui raised her eyes, and a good-looking young man was sitting opposite her, shaking a folding fan with a smile, dressed like a son of a rich family, with a bit of a dandyism.

"This is the first time I've seen a woman as beautiful as a girl, can you tell me her name?"

"..."

"Dare to ask the girl Fangling?"

"..."

"Girls like poetry and music, I will do a little research."

"..."

No matter how you ask, Luo Linshui ignores all the questions and concentrates on teasing the concoction. The man also feels embarrassed, eats it in a hurry and leaves.

It wasn't until the man left that Luo Linshui raised his eyes casually, half a piece of paper was exposed from the bottom of the finished bowl opposite, the concoction brushed his tail, clawed out the paper, and pulled it to Luo Lin's sailor.

Luo Linshui quickly opened it to take a look at the small print, then received it in his sleeve, and wrote a letter saying that the drug puppet will be completed and cannot be approached.

Luo Linshui touched the ears of the medicine juice, they were probably in some trouble, and then a trace of worry appeared in his eyes, and he didn't know what happened to the palace master.

When Lin Qingxi and his party went out and the ceremony began, it was the time when there were many people.

A group of people wore local distinctive ritual costumes and danced long dragons and lions as they passed by. I regretted it for a while, and couldn't get out. I knew I should be more honest and watch it in the room.

Lin Qingxi kept her arms around Ye Mingchen's shoulders so that the two of them would not be separated. As for Lin Qingqing and Lan Xi, they didn't know where they were crowded.

"Xixi, I suddenly feel that those assassins may have acted specially yesterday. If every day is like today, let alone taking advantage of the crowd, they may not even be able to swing their knives." Ye Mingchen whispered in Lin Qingxi's ear .

Lin Qingxi also felt that maybe it was true, but she didn't dare to relax a little bit. If she was as real as yesterday, she would not be able to do it. She was afraid of tricks like poisoning hidden weapons. There was no need for big movements, and she could mix with the crowd after taking action. Knowing that it is extremely difficult to find a target among so many people, Lin Qingxi has always been in a state of secret vigilance.

Of course, he won't say these things to make Ye Mingchen worry, he just smiled back:

"perhaps."

"I heard that after the dragon and lion dance team has passed, there will be a lotus flower god dressed up by a young girl of sixteen or seventeen later, she is a beauty." Ye Mingchen said.

Lin Qingxi picked up Ye Mingchen's wisp of blue hair that fell in front of him by accident, and was a little jealous when he heard Ye Mingchen say that there were beauties. He lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Ye Mingchen's side face, saying:

"Not as beautiful as you."

Ye Mingchen blushed unexpectedly, seeing that everyone around him was attracted by the team on the street, and they were relieved when no one noticed them, and said to Lin Qingxi,

"It's outside..."

Lin Qingxi's eyes lit up, she buried her head against the side of Ye Mingchen's face, and said with a low laugh:

"Is it okay in the room?"

Ye Mingchen's face turned even redder, and he didn't bother to talk to this man anymore, but he was muttering in his heart, why didn't he know that Xixi was so thick-skinned before, and besides, there was no such thing as a beautiful word to describe a man. Clothed man... No, maybe it should be said that among the men I have seen, only Palace Master Qiao can afford this word.

Ye Mingchen, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was pulled back by exclamations from around.

When I looked down the street again, the dragon and lion dance team had already come to the front, leaving a long distance in between.

Dozens of young girls come in two rows, pink dresses dragging the floor, holding flower baskets in their hands, cloud shoulders around their arms, fluttering backwards with the steps forward, scattering the petals in the flower baskets in the air , suddenly like a fairy.

A soft sedan chair was carried by several men among the women, surrounded by white gauze, and a crystal curtain was hung outside the gauze, and the jingle bells could be heard as they walked. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew that he must be called a shameless flower.

"This is the Flower God? It's really beautiful." Ye Mingchen praised.

Lin Qingxi glanced casually, feeling that no matter how she looked at her, she couldn't compare to her concubine, just in case, she said:

"Compared to you, that's all."

Ye Mingchen was completely immune to Lin Qingxi's words.

As soon as the flower god left, the crowd also moved. Seeing that Ye Mingchen was really crowded, Lin Qingxi said:

"Tomorrow morning, I will take you out first."

Ye Mingchen nodded and said hello,

"However, how do we get out?" Ye Mingchen asked.Now that there are so many people, even lightness kung fu might not be easy to perform.

Lightness kung fu is indeed not easy to use, but for Lin Qingxi, it is not difficult to stay away from the crowd. Putting a small part of the internal force outside will form a resistance around the two, and the people around will leave a small gap unintentionally. Ye Mingchen went out calmly and returned to the inn lobby.

Ye Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief, there were very few guests in the lobby, only a few waiters sitting and chatting.

Shunzi saw Lin Qingxi and Ye Mingchen coming back, and greeted them with tea.

"Why did the two guest officials come back so early? The flower god sacrifice hasn't started yet."

"It's too crowded outside." Ye Mingchen replied helplessly.

Shunzi cheerfully added tea to the two, and said to them:

"It's quite crowded outside, but the most interesting thing about this summer festival is the sacrifice. It's a pity that the two guest officials don't go."

Ye Mingchen asked: "Is there anything special about offering sacrifices?"

"The two guest officials don't know that the flower gods we choose every year are the most beautiful girls in our boudoir in Zhicheng. In addition to singing blessings and offering sacrifices to the flower gods, this priest also chooses us as the flower gods. Pick a husband and son-in-law, so there are so many people who come to this summer festival every year."

"Isn't it just to recruit relatives?" Lin Qingxi was a little speechless, the ceremony was actually for recruiting relatives.

"It's about recruiting relatives." Shunzi replied, "However, the most interesting thing is recruiting relatives. The flower god will throw [-] lotus flowers on the tall buildings of the festival. Penny, martial arts, and fun three-level test, and finally the flower god personally selects a man who passes. Of course, if you are not satisfied or no one passes, you can choose not to choose. My own maid secretly sent a lotus flower, that is also a good story."

"Test for fun?" Ye Mingchen was surprised.

Shunzi smiled, "Of course there is a test. Don't women like men who are both civil and military and have fun?"

The author has something to say:

I was wrong, I really overestimated myself, but at least I have improved to 4000+, and I will try my best to improve T^T in the future, please forgive me...
