Youjia Inn

The night was getting darker, and the lights at the foot of the mountain were even more dazzling in the darkness. A street was like a long golden dragon, criss-crossing and embellishing a city with brilliant lights.

After inquiring that Xiangfu and his party had already returned home, Qing Huan rushed back without stopping.

When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qing Huan climbed over the wall and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with ease.

Fortunately, it was a girl who was missing, and she could use any reason to prevaricate for a while, but the lady of the Xiangfu disappeared, tsk tsk, I don’t know how strict the security is.

Don't say that this Xiangfu is shaking the sky, this huge Shangjing City, maybe it will shake three times.

Turning round and round into the inner courtyard, seeing that the light in Miss' room was still on, Qing Huan walked forward, knocked on the door, and asked softly, "Miss? Are you asleep?"

"Squeak." The door opened.

Still neatly dressed, Miss Xiangfu Shen Zhihua opened the door and hurriedly welcomed Qing into the room.

"Qing Huan, are you okay? Why have you been here for so long? You're so worried about me." Shen Zhihua's voice was a little crying, "I shouldn't have left you alone and caused you to stay in such a remote place for so long. For a long time, I shouldn't have left at that time, I was thinking that you would come back in a while, me, me."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the ribbon was not tied tightly and was blown away by the wind. It took me a while to find it."

Qing Huan comforted softly, took out the handkerchief, and wiped Shen Zhihua's golden beans, "Oh, it's all because of my clumsy hands, which caused you to worry about me for so long, how can there be a reason for a lady to wait for a girl, it's okay, it's okay, I'm Come back, and the ribbon has been tied for you."

"Next time, next time, I won't let you alone anymore, I, I, I'm really worried, so worried."

The reassurance actually made Miss Shen cry even harder.This Miss Shen was doted on by her family, and when she cried, she didn't cry like a rough and pitiful Liu Fufeng like ordinary ladies. With rain, it doesn't make people feel any indecent at all, on the contrary, it is more innocent and romantic.

"Shh! I'll be fine when I get back. Don't cry, Miss. Someone should come later." Qing Huan covered Miss Shen's mouth.

Shen Zhihua stared at the foggy eyes and twitched, "Yeah, it's good to be back."

"By the way, what reason did you use to hide the truth from those women? Let's make a confession first, so that I won't be exposed tomorrow."

"Well, I said, I asked you to go to the market to buy some trinkets for me. If someone asks you, just say so."

"Hey, miss, don't tell me, I really bought a gadget." Qing Huan put the mask on the table.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Miss Shen held the mask in surprise and looked at it carefully, "This plum blossom is so unique."

"Haha, do you like it?"

"of course!"

"I'll give it to you if you like it." Qinghuan smiled.

"Qinghuan, you're the best... I've been worrying about the Ninth Princess and what mask to wear on Jili, and now the problem is finally solved." Shen Zhihua coquettishly hugged Qinghuan's neck and rubbed it.

"My eldest lady, what time is it? Tomorrow is the Ninth Princess and Ji ceremony, the mask, the style of the clothes, didn't the mothers in the palace send them to you for selection, why did you change your mind at this time? "

"It's okay. I was not satisfied with the ten styles that were sent over at that time. They were too gorgeous. Anyway, I told Zhang Zhen at that time, and I was also looking for it myself. I found the one I liked and showed it to her to see if it was in accordance with the etiquette. Just do it."

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll show you." Qing Huan walked around behind Shen Zhihua, put the mask on Shen Zhihua's face, and tied the two fixed ribbons beautifully. bows.

"Does it look good?" Shen Zhihua turned around and smiled at Qing Huan.

Only half of her face was exposed, and when she hooked her delicate red lips, she had the potential to overwhelm the country.

"Looks good, looks good, Miss looks good in any way."

"Just your sweet mouth."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, you go back to sleep too, I have to rest earlier, and I have to get up early tomorrow!"

At five o'clock, the sky was bright.The Ninth Princess’s Jiji Ceremony really had different responses, the scene was terrifying, hundreds of tables were set up one by one in the square of the ancestral hall, everyone present was either relatives of the emperor or noble families, what’s more, there were a few foreigners with high noses and heavy eyes The person must be the Yifan mission that went to Beijing to pay tribute that month.

There is a big drum in the middle of the square, and a lithe young girl in white clothes is standing beside the big drum, her arms hang down naturally, holding a pair of drumsticks in her hands, half of her face is covered by a silver-white mask, The delicate lips and the red plums at the corners of the mask's eyes echo each other, and the whole person looks sacred and full of aura, making people suddenly feel that they have entered the fairyland by mistake and met the Nine Heavens Fairy.

The praiser said, "Today there is a woman Changle, who is fifteen years old, and she is ready to perform the ceremony. The one who made the hairpin is in place!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The drumsticks fell heavily, and the sound of the three drums was long and steady.A girl in colorful clothes appeared in front of everyone accompanied by drumbeats.

"Tell the gods, and may bestow virtue!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"May I bestow Shude!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"May it be given to Huimin!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Both hands combined with smart dance steps to strike the drum just right. The steady drum sound and the unique congratulations collided with a sacred and solemn movement. The white figure on the square is a smart note in the movement.

"The tribute to the gods is complete! The guests are seated!"

After the prayer was over, the big drum was pulled down, and the girl in white walked away from the scene in an unsteady manner, leaving the guests present with an infinitely imaginative back view.

Shen Zhihua went to the side room next to the ancestral hall to take off his sacrificial clothes and mask, and picked out a taupe-coloured thin jacket with white fox fur around the collar, and put it on a lavender cotton skirt. After putting it on, he looked low-key and elegant, both It won't steal the limelight from the protagonist, and it won't lose its own style.

Back in the square, I sat quietly for another half an hour, and I finished my ceremony.The Ninth Princess also took a seat, and the noble ladies began to have a boring and long chat.

Qing Huan couldn't help stretching his stiff body a little, and decided to get up and go for a walk.

Suddenly she felt that someone was looking at her, and when she turned around, she met a young man with ink-painted eyebrows and peach blossom eyes.

The young master was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and raised his glass to Shen Zhihua.

Shen Zhihua blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look over there.

"Zhihua, Zhihua, what's wrong with you." Ninth Princess asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, I'm a little stiff sitting, I'll go out for a walk, you guys chat, I'll be back later." Shen Zhihua got up and left the table, and then the young master also left together.

-------------------I am the dividing line for Miss Shen to return home——

"Qinghuan, pour me a glass of water."

Qing Huan poured Shen Zhihua a glass of water as he said, and the water was warm enough to drink, neither hot nor cold.

"I'm exhausted!" After sipping water, Shen Zhihua leaned on the imperial concubine's bed.

"That's for sure, and beating the drums, and sitting upright and chatting with those noble girls, isn't it tiring?"

Qing Huan handed over the second cup of tea, "Miss, did you encounter any happy event today? I see that although the lady looks tired, she is full of smiles and happy brows. She must have encountered some happy event."

"No way, but, but, I met a disciple on the way, it was too abrupt, why, why."

Miss Shen's cheeks were flushed, she was extremely shy, and she insisted on acting angry.

"Teacher? I think he is the right one." Qing Huan joked.

"You want to be beaten!" Shen Zhihua made a gesture to fight.

Qing Huan dexterously dodged it with a sliding step, "Okay, alright, Deng Tuzi, that's Deng Tuzi."

"Ah! You, you're so bad!" Shen Zhihua knew that Qing Huan couldn't catch her, standing there with her arms akimbo.

Qing Huan stood back with a smile, and poked Shen Zhihua's swollen cheek, "Look, this made my lady so angry—"

"Ah, you're bad! You're bad!" Shen Zhihua patted Qing Huan's shoulder lightly.

"That's enough, that's enough, I'm bad, I'm the worst." Qing Huan grabbed Shen Zhihua's nagging hand, although it didn't hurt, he enjoyed the force.

"Pay attention to your image, wait for Zhou's mother to come in, and see if you are like this."

"Yeah." Qing Huan withdrew his hands and tidied up his clothes slightly.

"By the way, Qing Huan gave this to the treasurer of Babaozhai when I went out for you, and said it was for Mr. An, and someone will come to pick it up."

Shen Zhihua found a bone dice in her treasure chest where she collected all kinds of novelty gadgets.

"Oh, it's amazing, it's amazing, Linglong dice and red beans." Qing Huan took the dice and played with it in admiration. The points on the dice were deep into the bone, like cinnabar moles growing on the flesh and blood.

"Shh, keep it secret, keep it secret." Shen Zhihua stretched out his finger like a spring onion and hissed, "I trust you the most, so don't tell me about it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, miss, you just plunged in like this. I'm not afraid that things won't work out then."

"Hurry up, hurry up, that person's surname is Xie, and his name is Zi'an, can you make it happen?" Shen Zhihua said with raised eyebrows.

"Yo, I'm bah bah bah, it's the eldest son of the Xie family? That's a man of talent and beauty! It's no use falling in love so vigorously when we first meet, don't you worry that he won't marry you!"

"Could you say something nice about that crow's mouth! See if I won't tear it apart!" Shen Zhihua gave Qinghuan a sideways glance, his eyes flickering, full of flair.

"Yeah, you have spring in your eyebrows."

"You, stop being sarcastic, and you will understand when you meet such a person."

"Miss, girls always have to be more reserved...how about we wait until he comes to propose marriage?" Qing Huan suggested.

"Oh, well, why are you as annoying as Zhou's mother? If you don't like it, I'll ask Lvyi to deliver it." Shen Zhihua stretched out his hand, "Here, give me the dice."

"Don't, don't."

"Hey, look at your worried face. Although I fell in love at first sight, I'm not a fool. I and Mr. Xie are in the same family, and my father mentioned Mr. Xie to me once or twice. Besides, I have his ancestral heirloom. Yupei, how dare he not come to propose marriage?" Shen Zhihua had a smug face, his head was about to bubble with happiness.

"Okay!" Qing Huanfeng rushed out, "I promise to complete the task given by the lady!"
