Fortunately, they left, and just about ten steps away, there was a fight in front of the lantern booth just now.

It was a scholar who guessed the last lantern riddle, and the lantern in the Fairy Palace was naturally his. Some people disagreed, and it was inevitable that they would argue a few words, but that was all.

But a little lady said angrily: "How unreasonable! Dare to steal things from me! Go up and beat them!"

As soon as she gave an order, several guards around her immediately rushed up.

The little lady was dressed extremely luxuriously, with gold ornaments all over her head. She almost went up and stepped on her. Her two maids held her tightly, and they were so scared that they whispered in her ear: "Good Princess, Your Majesty!" The message came out, His Majesty is in a bad mood today, you can't cause trouble at this time!"

This person is Jiang Sanniang's daughter, Princess Jingping. Strictly speaking, she is Qi Zhinian's direct cousin, one year younger than him.

Before the urgent letter from Babaili arrived, after attending the worship ceremony in the palace, she went out of the palace to pay New Year's greetings in the Qingninghou Mansion. A serious princess, the crown prince also has a serious heir to the princess, she is not at the top of the list, it's the same with her or without her, it's not uncommon for a New Year's Eve to go to her grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, she would rather go to her grandfather's house to be praised by others.

No, she came out to watch the Lantern Festival in the evening, and easily clashed with others.

The maids finally protected her to get out, and put the hood of her cloak on for her, lest she would be discovered, she stood angrily outside the crowd, while her guards were still fighting with people inside, this lamp, she Must get it today!

Seeing that she couldn't help it again and was about to rush in again, she suddenly turned her head and looked north.

Her eyes lit up, she grabbed the maid's hand, and asked eagerly, "That's the British Duke?!"

The maids followed and looked over. To be honest, they were a little far away, and they couldn't see clearly, but they were afraid of further accidents, so they said: "Isn't it? Why is the Duke here?"

"Also..." Princess Jingping was waiting to see what happened when someone bumped into her.

"What are you doing!" Princess Jingping directly pulled out the soft whip from her sleeve, and the maids turned pale with fright.

In the end, Princess Jingping whipped out the whip, and immediately fell down two boys, and more people were injured. Others saw it as unfair, and those who originally fought all gathered towards her, maid They grabbed Princess Jingping tightly, trembling all over, Princess Jingping's guards cursed in their hearts, but they could only bite the bullet and come back to protect her.

What a mess!

Qi Zhinian also heard the sound of whipping the whip, and couldn't help but tremble, wanting to look back.

Cheng Qu had already sent someone to see what was going on. The man had just returned and gave Qi Huai a wink. Qi Huai fixed his head and pointed forward: "What is that?"

Qi Zhinian immediately looked over, it was selling sugar paintings!

He immediately forgot about the sound of the whip just now, and said with a smile, "It's sugar painting!"

This was something he had heard of, but had never seen with his own eyes.

"Look at it."

"Hmm!" Qi Zhinian stepped forward first, and walked briskly to the front of the booth.

The candy painting was sold by an old lady, surrounded by many children and their parents, their personalities, even if they couldn't see clearly at night, they always attracted a few more glances.

The aunt was very kind, she was making one in her hand, and she didn't forget to yell, and asked Qi Zhinian: "What kind of one do you want, young master? Look, as long as it is stuck in this straw target, Old women can do it!"

"Good good!"

Qi Zhinian excitedly looked at the row of samples on the grass target, there were monkeys fishing for the moon, Chang'e hugging rabbits, and kittens fluttering butterflies...all of them were extremely interesting, and Qi Zhinian liked them all!

Seeing that he couldn't see him, the aunt was also very happy, she smiled and asked: "Young master, which one do you want?"

"Is it possible to do what is not on the target?"

"What do you want?"

"I want a little pig, a little cat, and a little tiger! I want to be chubby and naive! I also want to—" Qi Zhinian looked at Qi Huai.

"Huh?" Qi Huai thought that there was something wrong with him, and immediately bent over and leaned forward, putting his ear to his face, but he looked at him before hearing the second half of his sentence.

Qi Zhinian lowered his head and lightly poked the grass target with his hand.

I also want a rabbit, because Qi Huai is a rabbit.

"What else do you want?" Qi Huai asked him.

"I want another little rabbit..." Qi Zhinian was afraid of being discovered by Qi Huai, so he said it carefully.

It's not that Qi Huai didn't remember that he was a rabbit, but he really didn't think of this matter to himself, so he straightened up after hearing this, and asked the aunt nonchalantly: "Maybe?"

Buying four in a row, or custom-made, that is a big business, the aunt immediately nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes! Of course! I will do this for you after finishing this!"

Not found!

Qi Zhinian also showed a happy smile, smilingly waiting for his aunt to make sugar paintings for him. When the little pig was about to finish, "Brother Jiang!", Lin Xiuxiu's voice suddenly sounded from the right.

Qi Zhinian was taken aback, and when he looked up, it was indeed Lin Xiuxiu!

Lin Xiuxiu also held a lamp in her hand. She was obviously very happy to see Qi Zhinian, and was about to run over when she saw him in a strange and delicate attire, and the person standing beside Qi Zhinian, wasn't it just yesterday? people!

She stopped immediately, not daring to go forward.

"I'll go over there!" Qi Zhinian didn't have time to explain, he finished speaking in a low voice, and immediately strode towards Lin Xiuxiu.

Qi Huai's eyebrows were raised in displeasure, and Cheng Qu, who was following behind him, lowered his head and dared not move again.

Unaware, Qi Zhinian walked up to Lin Xiuxiu and led her to the other side of the river: "Xiuxiu, let's talk here."

"Oh!" Lin Xiuxiu didn't dare to look at the strange man anymore, and followed Qi Zhinian.

Soon, the figures of the two were covered by the crowd, Qi Huai motioned to Cheng Qu, Cheng Qu nodded, and immediately two people followed quietly, guarding nearby.

"Why are you outside the city?" Qi Zhinian asked first.

"My mother and I originally planned to watch the Lantern Festival in the city today, and we all said that His Majesty would personally give the lanterns down today, and share the rewards with the people. Later, there was news that His Majesty would not come, and you were not at home, thinking about today's city gate. It was closed late, so my mother and I came out of the city to sell tofu flowers!" Lin Xiuxiu said and pointed in the direction, "My mother is there, business is doing well, and I'm busy now, so I'll take some time to buy a lantern. Who would have seen you!"

Lin Xiuxiu's eyes were full of curiosity: "Brother Jiang, why are you here? And you—"

She looked at Qi Zhinian's outfit, and thought, Mother is right, Brother Jiang is indeed not an ordinary person. To be honest, if she were to suddenly wear such expensive clothes, she would definitely be regarded as a thief who stole clothes. thief!Even she herself is uncomfortable!

Brother Jiang is different, and he can't describe it, but he just can't tell how beautiful it is.

Qi Zhinian smiled wryly: "I'm sorry Xiuxiu, there are some things that I can't tell you, I really don't know how to say them."

"I know." Lin Xiuxiu was innocent by nature, she didn't care, but was a little worried, "I met that gentleman yesterday, right? He really didn't come here to cause trouble?"

"Really not, otherwise how would I be here with him."

"Too!"

"Xiuxiu, I want to ask you something, about me being with him, don't tell my mother and my grandma, okay?"

Lin Xiuxiu didn't hesitate: "Don't worry! I will never tell! I'll just pretend I didn't see anything!"

"Thank you, Xiuxiu."

Lin Xiuxiu was embarrassed: "I didn't do anything, but if you are in trouble, don't be afraid to trouble me!" After speaking, he remembered that Qi Zhinian knew such a man, so why would he need their help?

Brother Jiang put on this suit, does it mean that he is about to return to his original life, does it also mean that they are about to leave...

Lin Xiuxiu was heartbroken, and then thought of what her mother said, they were not compatible in the first place!

She quickly shook off the thoughts in her mind.

Lin Xiuxiu pointed in the direction of Widow Lin again: "I have to help my mother, why don't you eat a bowl of tofu flower? It's hot and delicious! My mother also learned how to eat in the south, and there are other It’s sweetened with red beans and milk! Many people buy it!”

"I'll go later!"

He must take care of the Lin family's business!But you have to talk to Qi Huai first, otherwise it's not good to leave for too long.

"Then I'll go there first, come quickly!"

"it is good!"

Watching Lin Xiuxiu return to their home's tofu stand, Qi Zhinian hurried to the sugar painting stand. He was too anxious just now, and he didn't know if Qi Huai was angry or not!It's really rude to leave the elders and run away like this!

But there's no other way, he doesn't want Qi Huai and Lin Xiuxiu to run into each other, if the truth is revealed in the future, it won't be good to drag him down!

The sugar painting stand was opposite, leaving the river, Qi Zhinian walked around a few more trees, saw Qi Huai still standing in front of the sugar painting stand, he smiled and wanted to walk across the street, but his footsteps stopped again.

A little lady walked up to Qi Huai, seeming to be calling him, when Qi Huai turned his head, she raised her head, smiled coquettishly and timidly, and was talking to Qi Huai.

Qi Huai didn't know what to say, but instead she took another step forward, getting very close to Qi Huai.

Qi Zhinian bit his lip involuntarily, and looked at the other side silently.

His side is facing the river, not as bright as Qi Huai's side, under the lights, the two of them are like two people.

He suddenly thought of the pair of Spring Festival couplets, and a few people crowded behind the little lady, her eyes widened, and she was about to fall on Qi Huai.

Qi Zhinian turned his head and walked away forcefully.

He doesn't want to look.

He bowed his head and walked back to the river.

There were many lanterns floating on the gloomy river, and there was no one around him. He just looked at these lanterns quietly. There were lotus flowers, peach blossoms, peonies, and many other lanterns that he couldn't see even if he was far away.

In fact, when he turned around just now, he recognized the little lady.

It's his cousin, Princess Jingping.

Could it be that Princess Jingping is the one who wants to marry Qi Huai?

Princess Jingping is the crown prince's daughter, and Qi Huai is her cousin, logically speaking, he shouldn't think so.

However, the royal family of this dynasty is extremely aggressive in certain aspects. For example, the first emperor fell in love with the sister of a certain concubine. She was already married and had children. Why didn't he snatch her away, make a concubine directly, and return it to that concubine? The husband married a new wife, and later, that husband died of illness. He also changed the surname of Zhao to the son born to the concubine and her former husband, and took him to the palace as his own son.

Then there was Taizong, who married his niece.

And so on, seemingly extraordinary things happen almost every day.

These things, not to mention Qi Zhinian, everyone in the world knows.

The emperor took the lead in doing this, and extraordinary things became common.

The first emperor had only two biological sons, one died at the age of five, and the other died at the age of 20. Later, he really had no choice but to choose the emperor from the clan to be raised by the queen mother.

The emperor and the eldest princess have different fathers and different mothers, and their ancestors are the same great-grandfather. Strictly speaking, this bloodline does not know where it is going.

So it would be perfectly normal for Qi Huai to marry such a cousin.

But he doesn't like Princess Jingping, even loathes her.

Before he was expelled from the house, he didn't like him. He also knew that Princess Jingping hated him very much, but at that time he was still under the protection of the British government. No matter how much Princess Jingping hated him, he would not dare to face him openly. How is he.

He never gossips behind people's backs.

But Princess Jingping is really irritable, vain, ignorant, best at pretending to be powerful, and likes to bully her maids, eunuchs and guards!

How could such a person marry Qi Huai!

Thinking of this, Qi Zhinian was very angry.

He squatted down angrily, drawing circles on the snow with his fingers fidgeting.

He had to find a way, not to let Qi Huai marry such a woman!Qi Huai must not be fooled by Princess Jingping's good looks!

He poked a hole in the snow with his fingers, but couldn't think of a way.

I don't know if a bird jumped a few times from the tree, and a cloud of snow fell into his neck.

He hissed from the cold, and immediately stood up, his head gradually sober.

Even if Qi Huai really wants to marry a bad guy like Princess Jingping, what does it have to do with him?

Anyway, Princess Jingping is also Qi Huai's cousin and niece, so she is a relative.

It really doesn't matter, the person who is worrying about here and doesn't know when he will reveal his secrets is me!

He is the one who is not qualified!

Qi Zhinian's energy was gone, he squatted down softly, his feet were soft, and he simply sat on the snow, looking at the river, eyes full of bewilderment.

"Brother, isn't it cold to sit like this?"

There were voices of concern beside him, but Qi Zhinian didn't raise his head, his eyes were dimly spread over the water.

"Hello? You're blocking our place!" The man yelled again, seeing that he still didn't respond, he simply ignored him, and squatted down on the bank with his companions, "swishling" Not knowing what to do, after a while, Qi Zhinian saw two more lanterns flowing slowly along the surface of the water.

"Haha! I think I can do what I want! The wind is so strong that I didn't fall!"

Only then did Qi Zhinian raise his head belatedly. The other party was two men who looked like scholars in their early twenties. Seeing that they were about to leave, he immediately stopped: "Did you put these lamps on?"

"Don't dare, only those two who just put in are our brothers!"

"These lights, but what do you say?"

"Blind! Are you a stranger?"

"...I am from Kyoto."

"Then you don't know this?!" The other party was surprised.

"..."

"Tsk tsk, look at how well you are dressed, why are you such a country bumpkin!"

Another person patted him, smiled and said to Qi Zhinian: "Little brother, don't be angry, my elder brother speaks like this, and he has no bad intentions. This lantern is a wish lantern. Our moat is connected to the canal leading to The north and the south are the places where spiritual energy gathers most, so there is a saying in Zilai that during the New Year, put down the lanterns here, put a note in the lanterns, and write your wishes, as long as the lanterns are not blown over by the wind, everything will go smoothly. Let the land flow down the river, and your wish will come true!"

"So clever?!" Qi Zhinian was immediately in awe.

Seeing that he was so serious, the other party couldn't help being stunned, and laughed: "Hahaha! It's just a wish!"

"Where can I buy this lamp?"

"Here!" The man pointed in the direction.

"Thank you!" Qi Zhinian got up and rushed over to buy lamps. When he was running along the river, he saw that there were indeed many people setting up lamps by the river, but the place where he was just now was relatively bright, so there would be fewer people. .

Walking to the darkest place, there are indeed many lantern stalls, and the riverside is also crowded with people who put up lanterns. Qi Zhinian picked a house and bought a wintersweet lantern according to his eyes, and he chose the most desirable one without asking the price. Fortunately, the money bag on his body was still there, and after paying the money, he borrowed a pen and paper from someone on the small table to write his wish.

But the pen hangs high, and I can't put down a stroke for a long time.

He originally wanted to write: May Qi Huai not marry Princess Jingping!

But if someone saw this, wouldn't something happen again...

Qi Zhinian frowned, struggled for a long time, and wrote: May his wishes come true.

He still remembered the couplet he wrote, and he only hoped that Qi Huai's wishes would come true and he would marry the best woman in the world!

Only the best woman is worthy of a better Qi Huai!

After finishing writing, return the pen and paper, Qi Zhinian pressed the wishing paper onto the lamp core, and the lamp seller dripped some wax on it, stuck a small bright red short candle on it, lit it, and smiled. Said: "May all wishes come true, young master!"

"Thank you!"

Qi Zhinian held the lantern in one hand, shielded himself from the wind with the other, and protected the small flame as he walked cautiously to the bank of the river.

He knelt down on the snow, his upper body almost touching the ground, and gently, he placed the bright yellow lantern on the water, and muttered a few words in his heart, his hand slowly let go, and the wind sent the lantern to the water. central.

Qi Zhinian didn't dare to get angry, for fear of blowing up the lantern.

Just as he was thinking, there was a strong wind blowing, and there were wailing sounds from the side. He saw with his own eyes that many people's lanterns were overturned!

He was so frightened that he stretched out his hand, trying to get his lamp back, but he couldn't reach it.

I can't wait to beat the ground!Why can't we wait any longer!

Soon, he discovered that his lantern was not upside down!

His lantern continued to stretch out and float towards the lantern in an orderly manner. The ripples on the water surface were like folds blown by the wind, gently escorting his lantern.

Until the lantern reaches the center, the place where wishes will come true.

Qi Huai can marry the best person in the world!

A smile suddenly bloomed on Qi Zhinian's face.

The author has something to say:

I must be able to marry O(∩_∩)O
