The nine princesses of the East Palace

The sugar man is very sweet, and the sweetness enters the heart after one bite, and it is not greasy at all, sweet and sweet, with a refreshing aftertaste.I ate fast, Li Chengyin ate slowly, I ate the whole thing, he only ate a small piece.

"Li Chengyin, why are you eating so slowly? The sugar figurine is about to melt." I saw the sugar figurine in his left hand crumbling on the bamboo stick, so I couldn't help reminding.

After hearing this, Li Chengyin said disapprovingly: "I just want to eat slowly like this, instead of gnawing like you. Do you think it's eating chicken legs?"

"But it's about to fall to the ground..." Before I finished speaking, there was only a bamboo stick left in his hand... The sugar figurine really fell, Li Chengyin hurriedly caught it, and finally it didn't fall on the ground.

"I told you to eat faster." I said angrily.

He didn't say a word now, and stuffed the remaining candy figurine into his mouth with a stiff face, and gnawed it in two or three bites.

He looked so funny that I couldn't help laughing out loud.

"If you laugh again, I'll leave. I'll leave you here and see how you get back." Li Cheng Yin threatened me with a sullen face.

Although he looks fierce, I am not afraid at all, "If you dare to leave me here, I will sue your father, saying that you have evil intentions, disregard the relationship between the two countries, and intend to murder me."

"Do I need to murder you?" Li Cheng Yin seemed to have heard some joke.

"You brought me out. If you left me here, I don't speak the Central Plains dialect very well, and I don't know the way. If I was taken captive, you would be an accomplice. Why wouldn't it be considered murdering me? "If he was in Xizhou, no one would say anything about him leaving me on the street, but in the Central Plains, if he dared to do this, let's see how he will explain to the Emperor of the Central Plains and my father.

I talked for a long time until my saliva dried up, but when I looked up, I saw Li Chengyin looking at me with a half-smile, and I heard him say: "I didn't expect that after you came to the Central Plains, your brain became much more clever. "

I said unconvinced: "I'm already smart, and it has nothing to do with coming to the Central Plains."

"Okay, let's just pretend that you've been smart since you were a child." Li Cheng Yin raised his mouth slightly, and looked down at me, "Then, smart lady, where do you want to go now?"

His eyes were as bright as stars, so bright that I was a little dazed, "Can I go anywhere?" I asked.

Li Chengyin thought for a while and said, "There is a place where it won't work."

"Where?"

"A place to drink flower wine."

"Flower wine? Is it made from flowers?" I asked again.

Li Cheng Yin smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's wine made from flowers."

"Then I really want to go, Li Chengyin, I've never drank flower wine, you must take me there." I heard from my master that there are all kinds of wine made from flowers in Central Plains, such as peach blossom wine , sweet-scented osmanthus wine, lotus wine, plum blossom wine...it sounds very fragrant, and it must taste delicious.

Li Cheng Yin frowned, as if he was not happy, "Flower wine can only be drunk by men, you are a girl, why join in the fun?"

"Why are you men the only ones who can drink? It's too unfair. In our western state, women can do the same things that men can do."

"If you say you can't go, then you can't go. If you keep talking like this, I'll leave. You can go wherever you like by yourself." I tried to say a lot, but Li Chengyin didn't listen to a word.

Of course I couldn't let him go, so I quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "If you don't go, you won't go." It's a big deal, one day A'Du and I will go secretly.

However, if you don't want to drink flower wine, where should you go?In fact, there are so many places I want to go, I want to see all kinds of flowers, the sea, and birds I don’t know, but for a while, I can’t go to so many places, “Then you take me there Let's look at the lanterns, I heard from Empress Mingyuan that the lanterns in the Central Plains are really beautiful."

Li Chengyin said: "It's not too late to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. You can watch them all night long. No matter if it's the court nobles or ordinary people, they will come out to enjoy the lanterns. It's much more lively than now. Moreover, The curfew will be lifted when you go to the capital for three nights before and after the Shangyuan Festival, in addition to the lanterns, there are all kinds of fun and lively things, which will definitely make you full at once."

"Really? Then when is the Shangyuan Festival? Is it still a long time?" According to him, one can go out of the palace during the Shangyuan Festival, and you can play freely.

Li Chengyin said: "It's not long, it's not long, it's long."

I looked at him in bewilderment, and he said again, "After the inscription ceremony, it will be much worse."

I counted with my fingers. According to Fifth Brother, the Central Plains royal family will send someone to teach me Central Plains etiquette, Central Plains dialect, and Central Plains characters. It will take about a month, and the book ceremony will probably take two months.In other words, there are still more than two months before the Lantern Festival, which is really long.

Li Chengyin seemed to see what I was thinking, and said to me: "There is a shop selling rabbit lamps in front, their lamps are very realistic, just like real rabbits, you will definitely like it."

I felt very strange and followed him happily.He said as he walked, people in the N dynasty believed that rabbits were auspicious things, so they tied bamboo strips into the rabbit's skeleton, used wooden wheels as the rabbit's legs, and covered the rabbit's skeleton with highly transparent pasted paper. , Put a bowl of oil-soaked white rice in the center of the rabbit's body, put the rushes in the center of the white rice, light the rushes, and the rabbit light will be on.He also said that rabbit lanterns are also a kind of lanterns, which are very popular with girls.

The place that sells rabbit lamps is not far away, and it takes half a quarter of an hour to arrive. There are many ready-made rabbit lamps in that shop, red, green, and white, all shining and twinkling. I was stunned, it was so beautiful.

Li Chengyin asked the shopkeeper to take a red one, "How about this one?" He said, "I think red suits you best."

I compared the two and nodded. It is true that the red one looks better, and it is more flavorful than the lanterns hung on the door of the big family.However, this rabbit lamp is so delicate, we don't know if we have enough money.I quickly took out the remaining money in my pocket, counted it carefully, and there were 120 more.

Li Chengyin grabbed half of it and handed it to the shopkeeper, then handed the rabbit lamp to me.

The rabbit lamp is not big, its head is snow-white, but the pasted paper on its body is red, and its rushes have been lit, giving off a warm light that warms people's hearts.

"Does it look good?" Li Chengyin asked.

"Nice." I said with a smile.

It was quite late now, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the street. Suddenly, I saw a graceful figure reflected on the rabbit lamp. I took advantage of the opportunity to look over, and saw the girl Zhao whom I had met once before.

She stood there, shadowy, looking at us, and her maid stood beside her.

I teased Li Chengyin, "I saw that Miss Zhao, she doesn't look very happy, she doesn't seem to like me very much, did I offend her?"

Li Chengyin also looked over: "It's your first day here, how can you offend anyone?"

Zhao Sese came over, bowed to Li Chengyin, glanced at me, and said to Li Chengyin: "Master... the rabbit lamp in this girl's hand is so beautiful, and Sese also wants one, as long as However, our master and servant were in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring the silver taels, so I wonder if the young master can generously donate the bag so that Sese can also have an exquisite rabbit lamp?"

I squeezed the lamp tightly in my hand, raised my eyes to look at Li Chengyin, and thought to myself, he is really attractive, if he really bought a lamp for Zhao Sese, I will throw away this lamp, far away .

Seeing me looking at him, Li Chengyin blinked at me innocently, and then said: "Sorry, Miss Zhao, I didn't bring any money."
