Chapter 221
Yanjing City.

The common people gathered together to celebrate the festive season, but they suddenly found that bright lights slowly rose into the sky from all directions, illuminating the entire sky in an instant, dazzling, and suppressing the light of the stars all over the sky. down.

They have never seen such a beautiful scenery, and the common people are naturally curious.

For this scene, Wen Ruyan arranged many people to spread around. They put up the Kongming lanterns, which naturally attracted the attention of many people nearby.

"My little brother, what was that thing you put up just now? Is it a lantern? How can the lantern still fly?" Someone asked curiously.

The boy surnamed Ji replied with a smile: "This thing is called Kongming Lantern. It was made by His Royal Highness Prince Jing. It is used to pray for his two concubines."

When the people around heard the words His Royal Highness Prince Jing, they immediately took several big steps back in fright.

"What do you mean the Kongming Lantern was made by His Royal Highness Prince Jing?" the courageous person asked again.

The boy surnamed Ji nodded.

Everyone was stunned.

A perverted and dandy prince racked his brains to create such miraculous things just to make Bomei smile.

In an instant, Wen Ruyan's name resounded throughout Yanjing City.

At this moment, there were many young ladies standing upstairs in their own houses, looking longingly at the orange sky, wishing to exchange their identities with those two princesses.

Although His Royal Highness Prince Jing is a dandy, the thing he made is really exciting.

In a small alley not far from Prince Jing's Mansion.

A small tavern stood there quietly, with two lanterns hanging beside the door, swinging back and forth non-stop with the autumn wind blowing.

The main street outside is bustling with life and bustling, but here, it is unusually quiet, and no one can be seen in the whole alley. Compared with the lively scene outside, it feels inexplicably out of place feel.

Inside the tavern.

Two oil lamps were flickering slightly, and beside a small table that looked a bit greasy, sitting a young and beautiful woman in a willow dress who did not apply makeup on her face but still had a natural beauty.

Not only was this woman extremely beautiful, but she also had an elegant and cool temperament all over her body.

Such a wonderful person, even if he wants to eat, he should do so in a big restaurant with a comfortable and clean environment. Appearing here will inevitably give people a sense of being out of place.

The tavern is out of tune with the outside world, and this woman is out of tune with the tavern. This scene is really surprising.

Inside the counter, an old man with gray temples was quietly counting the books.Although he looks old, but the spirit he shows is really good.

The two of them stayed together quietly for quite a while, the old man estimated the time, then put down the man in his hand, looked up at the young woman and asked with a smile: "Girl Linxue, are you hungry?"

Ye Linxue shook her head slightly when she heard the old man's question, and said, "I'm not hungry, Uncle Xu, you are busy with your work, don't worry about mine."

Uncle Xu chuckled, showing his yellow teeth: "This Mid-Autumn Festival is not at home to accompany Mr. Ye, but to come to my dilapidated place to accompany me, a bad old man. It's hard for you girl."

"Uncle Xu, please don't say that. My father has already gone to the palace for a banquet, and he doesn't need me to accompany him. Besides, you are the elder I admire the most. I used to stay in the northern border. , I have never come to accompany you on such an important festival, and now I just have this opportunity, so I will naturally seize it."

Ye Linxue grew up so big, she had never smiled in front of outsiders, but at this moment, there was a faint smile on her face.

When a beautiful woman smiles, she will overwhelm the country and the city.

For a moment, the tavern seemed to be much brighter.

"Okay, don't compliment me. It's been so long since the past, and I have forgotten it. Now you are a famous female general in the world. I'm just a bad old man. I don't want to talk about admiration or not." .”

After hearing his words, Ye Linxue let out a long sigh, and replied, "Now I'm not a general anymore."

Uncle Xu smiled again and said: "Don't worry, today's son is a generation of Mingjun, the reason why you were demoted to white clothes is because you, a girl, are too courageous, and you resigned the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Jing in public. , let the Tian family lose all face. But after such a long time, the emperor's anger should have almost disappeared. With you and the boy from General Yang's family guarding the northern border, the northern border is naturally safe. Your Majesty knows this very well. Yes, it won't be long before you girl will return to the northern border, don't worry."

"I'm not doing it for the name of the general, but I just want to guard the territory for Da Zhou."

"If the people of Great Zhou are like you, why are you afraid of the Huns and Great Chu?"

Ye Linxue was indifferent.

"Okay, counting the time, that brat should be here soon. I'll go to the back kitchen to prepare meals. If that brat comes here, I haven't cooked the meal yet, and I'll have to complain about my uncle It's been a long time." Uncle Xu said with a light smile.

After Uncle Xu said this, he was about to get up and go to the back kitchen to prepare, but Ye Linxue suddenly asked curiously: "Uncle, who is that brat you're talking about?"

It's no wonder she's curious. She guards the northern territory all the year round, and it's rare for her to come back once, but every time she comes back, she will definitely come here to accompany this Uncle Xu. She has a good relationship with this old man, and the old man treats her like Like a biological daughter.

In the past, when she came here, Uncle Xu would definitely cook her a big table of delicious dishes right away, but today was different, and made her wait for so long.

She had heard the old man talk about the brat in Uncle Xu's mouth several times before, but she had never met him face to face.

Ye Linxue was really curious as to who was it that could make Uncle Xu treat him like this.

Hearing her question, Uncle Xu chuckled and said, "You'll know when he comes in a while. By the way, you're such an old girl now that you're not even married yet. I think that kid is very cute." It suits you, why don't you have a chat in a while?"

After hearing his words, Ye Linxue immediately looked helpless.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

Seeing her appearance, Uncle Xu immediately waved his hands and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, you girl, you really have a stubborn temper, and I don't know what kind of person you want to find to accompany you through this... For the rest of your life, you, you should hurry up and settle your lifelong affairs, Master Ye is almost worried to death by you."

"Uncle, didn't you stop talking, why did you start rambling again?"

"Okay, okay, uncle, I won't talk anymore, let's go cook."

After a while, there was a burst of busy work in the back kitchen.

Ye Linxue waited quietly for a long time again, and slowly, the aroma from the back kitchen filled the entire tavern. Uncle Xu's craftsmanship is really nothing to say, at least for this point, Ye Linxue is very satisfied.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the tavern.

"Old man, my son is here, is the meal ready for me?"

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the tavern was pushed open. Ye Linxue looked up, and saw a young man in a luxurious purple dress, with long flowing hair, and an unusually handsome but unrestrained face came in.

After the two looked at each other, they were suddenly stunned.

"Ye Linxue?"

"Liu Ziqian?"
