The Lady of the Red Chamber

Peaceful days are always fleeting.

It seemed as if Yun Qinghuan just closed his eyes, and opened his eyes, the hustle and bustle of the Shangyuan Festival had already quietly arrived.

"Miss, hurry up and eat glutinous rice balls, reunion."

Yun Qingxuan didn't change her clothes until early in the morning, when Bai Lu walked in with a bowl of Yuanxiao, and held it in front of Yun Qingxuan.

The glutinous rice balls are small and cute, white and glutinous.The three were nestled together in a big red porcelain bowl, the slightly transparent skin slightly revealing the grayish-yellow indentation.It smells sweet and delicate.

Yun Qing slowly picked up the small spoon, scooped one up to her mouth, and took a light bite.

The quicksand-like stuffing flowed onto the spoon in an instant, and Yun Qing slowly stretched out her small tongue to lick it when others were not paying attention.Without that layer of coat, the smell is even sweeter.

"It's the sweet-scented osmanthus trap." Yun Qinghu's eyes lit up, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" swallowed the glutinous rice balls on the spoon, and couldn't wait to scoop up the second one.

Bai Lu looked at Yun Qingxuan's anxious appearance, held out her hand with a handkerchief, and wiped the corner of Yun Qingxuan's lips: "Miss, eat slowly, and I will have breakfast with Madam later. You can eat now." It’s bad for the stomach in a hurry.”

Yun Qinghuan smiled a little embarrassedly.After devouring the three small glutinous rice balls, he wiped his mouth again, then put on his fiery red deerskin boots, and walked to the dining hall with the snow on the ground.

Yun Qingyu got up early in the morning on a rare occasion, and seeing Yun Qingxuan's energetic appearance, he teased, "Huanxuan is dressed so festively today, can't wait to go to the lantern festival?"

Yun Qingxu was in a good mood, and it was rare that he didn't argue with Yun Qingyu, but instead looked out the window and blinked: "When can we go out?"

Yun Qingchi put down the book in his hand, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "It's still early. The Lantern Festival only starts at Xu, and now it's only Si, so what's the rush?"

Si time...Xu time...

Yun Qing slowly calculated with her fingers, then leaned back on the chair dejectedly: there are still ten full hours.Why is it so difficult to go out to play?

I finally looked forward to the night.

Yun Qing hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice, then put down the bowl, and looked at Yun Qingchi and Yun Qingyu anxiously.

Yun Qingyu was terrified by her eager expression, quietly approached Yun Qingchi's position, and said with some difficulty: "Slow down, don't look at me like that. I've been spoiled by you gone."

Yuan Shi smiled and said: "Slowly, I'm impatient. A Yu, you should hurry up. I don't see you so slow when I usually have a meal."

Yun Qingyu: "..."

Cheng, this is the little golden flower of their Zhen Guohou's mansion, he can't afford to offend her.

Yun Qingchi put down the bowl and chopsticks, slowly wiped the corners of his lips with a brocade handkerchief, looked up at Yun Qingxuan, and then glanced at Yun Qingyu.

Yun Qingyu immediately put down the bowl: "I'm full."

Zhen Guohou looked at the eagerness of the juniors, smiled kindly, and said: "Okay, since you run out of use, go out and play first. You don't have to wait for us."

Yun Qingxuan cheered a little, and squinted at Zhen Guohou: "Thank you, Uncle."

Mrs. Lin gently instructed: "Chi'er, you are the elder brother, remember to take good care of your younger siblings."

Yun Qingchi nodded: "Mother, don't worry, the son knows."

Yun Qinghuan couldn't wait any longer, and said to the two elder brothers with her round face: "Then let's go out quickly, the lantern festival is about to start."

Yun Qingchi took Yun Qingxuan and Yun Qingyu to stand on the busy street, waiting for Lin Daiyu and the others, watching the people coming and going in front of them, laughing and cheering.

There are several guards and maidservants standing around them, protecting the safety of the young masters and ladies.

Yun Qingxuan stood beside Yun Qingyu, looked at the back of the eldest brother in front of him, quietly pulled Yun Qingyu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, why do I feel that the eldest brother is a little impatient today? He seems to be waiting who?"

Although Yun Qingchi was still as light and breezy as before, he was so gentle that he couldn't see any flaws.But based on Yun Qingxu's familiarity with her elder brother, she was sure that Yun Qingchi's heart was definitely not as peaceful as usual.

Yun Qingyu looked at Yun Qingxuan in surprise, then at Yun Qingchi, and whispered: "Don't you know? Miss Liang will also go to the lantern festival with us today."

"Master Liang." Yun Qinghuo looked at Yun Qingchi and exclaimed: "Could it be that elder brother and sister Liang..."

Yun Qingyu covered Yun Qingxuan's mouth and raised his head cautiously.Realizing that Yun Qingchi hadn't noticed the two of them, he said, "Keep your voice down, do you want Big Brother to hear you?"

Yun Qing nodded frantically.

After confirming that Yun Qingchi's attention was still on the busy street in front of him, Yun Qingyu let go of his hand, put it in Yun Qingxuan's ear, and whispered his brother's gossip: "Brother Xinyue, Miss Liang For a long time, Naihe felt that he was not talented enough to be worthy of Miss Liang, so he focused on obtaining fame, so that he would have some confidence to go to Liang's house to propose marriage to Miss Liang in the future."

Yun Qingchi was hailed as the number one talented person in the capital, and whoever in the capital would not praise him said that the national scholar is unparalleled and has a beautiful heart.Being so nervous and self-effacing is just because Liang Yiheng, who is also talented and knowledgeable, is unwilling to accept it.

but……

Yun Qinghuo whispered to Yun Qingyu, not being polite at all because Yun Qingchi is her own brother: "With the talent of Senior Sister Liang, I am afraid that she must be the number one scholar in the dynasty to be worthy of it."

Yun Qingyu: "...Actually, I don't think it's impossible for elder brother to be the champion."

After all, he was a 14-year-old Juren. Looking at the history of the Daqing Dynasty, I am afraid that there are few existences who can compare with him.

However, Chunwei will only open next year, and I want to know whether Yun Qingchi can be admitted to the number one prize or not.The two didn't continue this topic, but talked about other things with great interest.

Yun Qingxuan and the others didn't wait long, Daiyu, the eleventh prince, Princess Huining, Liang Yiheng arrived one after another, and then came...

"Brother Meng, I didn't expect you to come too." Yun Qingxuan looked at Meng Xiuchang who was following behind the eleventh prince, quite surprised.

Meng Xiuchang said hello to Yun Qingchi and Yun Qingyu first, then looked at Yun Qingxuan, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister Yun doesn't welcome me?"

Yun Qing slowly said decisively: "Where. Brother Meng is here, I'm too happy to be in time, why don't you welcome him?"

Yun Qingyu looked at Yun Qinghuan who was adapting to the situation, and shook his head helplessly.After looking at the crowd gathered together, his eyes rolled: "It's still early, why don't we have fun on our own first, and then go to Tianxiang Tower to watch the fireworks together?"

A few people of course said that there is no problem.

Daqing is open to the people, and there will be various programs and competitions in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.Princess Huining couldn't help but want to go to the arena by the river to compete with others, so as to get the red-tasseled gun as the prize.

After talking to the eleventh prince, he hurried away.

The guards of the Sixth Prince's Mansion saw him and hurried to follow, for fear that something might happen to the princess if he made a mistake.

Yun Qing slowly looked at Yun Qingchi, and then at Liang Yiheng who was standing beside her.Smiling slyly, he took Lin Daiyu's hand and said towards Yun Qingchi: "Brother, why don't you accompany Senior Sister Liang to the street. My cousin, my second brother, His Highness the Eleventh and Brother Meng Let's play together. We'll be uncomfortable if you follow us."

Meng Xiu often didn't know what Yun Qingxu meant, but he never dared to have too much contact with the unpredictable Yun Qingchi, so he nodded in agreement: "Sister Yun is right."

Liang Yiheng blinked his eyes, looked at Yun Qingxuan's innocent little eyes, covered the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and nodded Yun Qingxuan's small forehead: "You just think that senior sister is too old, and you don't want to be with senior sister play?"

"No, no, no." Yun Qing slowly shook her head crazily: "Senior sister, don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean that."

Lin Daiyu often went to Liushui Pavilion and Liang Yiheng to ask for advice on poetry, so she could see that Liang Yiheng was making fun of Yun Qingxu and didn't let go, so she just watched with interest.

Liang Yiheng had had enough of teasing, and turned his head to look at Yun Qingchi contentedly, with a full smile: "What do you think, Mr. Yun?"

Yun Qingchi nodded: "I have no objection."

After hearing this slowly, Yun Qing hurriedly took Daiyu's hand and ran to the street excitedly.

The eleventh prince, Yun Qingyu and Meng Xiuchang didn't expect Yun Qingxuan to be so excited, and hurriedly followed behind them, fearing that something would happen to them.

Because it is the Lantern Festival, every household hangs up colorful and differently shaped lanterns.Silver dragons crawled and landed on the street, criss-crossing like a chess game.Flowers and trees, fireworks in the world.

Yun Qing slowly dragged Daiyu along the busy street, and stopped to take a look when passing by interesting stalls.

This is also the first time for Lin Daiyu to participate in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Beijing, and everything she sees is novel and unusual.I can't wait to read all the thousands of sails, remember these grand events in the center of my eyes, and sing out a good poem about the prosperous age.

Yun Qingxuan saw someone buying sugar paintings over there, and dragged Lin Daiyu over there.

The eleventh prince has already followed, standing beside Yun Qingxuan, looking at the old man who bought sugar paintings, he asked: "Cousin, do you want to eat?"

"think."

The eleventh prince took out the copper plate, put it on the stall, thought for a while, and said to the old man, "Old man, I want a squirrel."

Meng Xiu often stood beside Lin Daiyu, and put a few copper coins: "I want a lily."

Yun Qingxuan's small eyes immediately flew to Meng Xiuchang: This guy, does he also like eating sugar paintings?

After the sugar painting was finished, Meng Xiu often took the delicate sugar painting of lilies and handed it to Lin Daiyu, a little shy: "Sister Lin, this one is very sweet, I don't know if you like it or not."

Yun Qingxuan looked at Meng Xiuchang's embarrassed look, staring at his own toes, his eyes couldn't rest anywhere, and suddenly realized.

Lin Daiyu took the sugar painting, took a bite, and smiled instantly: "Thank you, Brother Meng."

Seeing Daiyu like this, Meng Xiu became even more nervous: "No thanks, no thanks. As long as my sister likes it."

Yun Qinghuan has always been restless.Seeing another activity of guessing lantern riddles not far away, holding Daiyu in one hand and sugar painting in the other, he ran over excitedly: "Sister Lin, let's guess lantern riddles too."
