Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 307 Touring the Lantern City Together
At the beginning of Kangxi's 52nd year, the eyes of the whole country were focused on the Kangxi Sixty Years Longevity Festival in March, and the banquet of thousands of seniors played by Ba Age was also being selected in an orderly manner in various places. Since Kangxi personally hosted the banquet, this honor alone It's enough for ordinary people to be excited, and I heard that the emperor's grandson will hold the lamp in person, so many qualified people dig doors and steal holes, marry relatives, and desperately try to fight for a spot, but some corrupt officials' pockets are fattened. I'm afraid this situation It was not Kangxi's original intention.

Qi Luo has been preparing Kangxi's birthday gifts since last year. Although these gifts may not be shocking, they must not lose the face of Prince Yong's Mansion. will rise a lot.Qi Luo took the prepared gift list and looked at it carefully, listening to Mother Qin talking about the price increase of antique calligraphy and paintings and other auspicious objects outside, her eyes were full of complacency.

Yinzhen walked into the room and saw Qi Luo who was smiling as if a little fox had succeeded in his scheme. With a doting smile in his eyes, he took the gift slip from Qi Luo's hand, looked it over carefully, and nodded slightly. The arrangement is really good, it is not eye-catching, but also looks noble, which is what Kangxi likes.Qi Luo glanced at his mouth, blinked his eyes, and said triumphantly, "At the beginning, the master said that I was too anxious, but now the price of these gifts has increased by at least [-]% outside, and some things can't be bought even if there is money."

Yinzhen shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and gently tapped Qi Luo's forehead.Although he didn't feel the pain, Qi Luo still covered his forehead with his hands, and said coquettishly, "Master, it's fine if you don't give me a reward. There's no reason to knock someone's head. What if I'm knocked stupid?"

Yinzhen couldn't bear anymore and sat Qi Luola in his arms, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What reward do you want?" He moved his hand vaguely around Qi Luo's waist, feeling Qi Luo's body was sensitive trembling slightly, Yinzhen continued to whisper, "It would be nice to reward you tonight, but no more."

Qi Luo grabbed Yinzhen's dishonest hand, put it to his mouth and bit it hard, Yinzhen hissed, but didn't pull back, the smile in his eyes was stronger, Qi Luo gritted his teeth in frustration , raised his head and glanced outside, he came early today, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is coming soon, the city’s lantern market must be very lively. In addition, I never went to places full of folk customs, which is really a loss when I think about it.

Turning his eyes, Qi Luo turned around, stretched out his hand to stop Yinzhen's neck, and said softly, "Master really intends to reward me at night?" Yinzhen was stunned by this question, looked at Qi Luo with doubts, and broke away from Yinzhen. With the shackles around his waist, Qi Luo got up briskly, took two steps towards the inner room, turned around and smiled sweetly, "Master, there is no wind or snow today, shall we go to the Lantern Market at night? This is what you gave me." Reward."

Seeing that Yinzhen didn't respond, Qi Luo thought for a while and put his arms around Yinzhen's neck from behind again, and said coquettishly, "Is it okay? I have never seen the Lantern Market, and I have never gone out at night. I have my master with me." , it should be very safe." Yinzhen also broke away from Qi Luo's hug, stood up and took two steps, Qi Luo felt that there was no hope, his eyes were full of disappointment, when Yinzhen walked to the door, Without looking back, he bent his mouth and said softly, "Since you want to go out, why don't you hurry up and clean up? I don't have that much patience to wait for you."

Qi Luo couldn't help cheering, and jumped to Yinzhen's side, hugged his arm, and rubbed it lightly, "I knew that Master is the one who loves me the most, so I'll go tidy it up, I'll be back soon, there won't be any delay." Feeling Qi Luo blowing like a gust of wind, Yin Zhen smiled and shook his head, how could this look like the mother of three children?He lowered his head to look at the blue robes on his body, the blue mandarin jacket, and the jade pendant purse on his waist, which were not very conspicuous, and whispered a few words to Gao Fu, asking him to arrange the manpower.

It didn't take long before I heard a pretty voice behind me, "Master, I'm tidying up." Yinzhen turned her head, a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes, Qi Luo was actually wearing a royal blue Chinese Han suit with a slanted lapel and a butterfly button. On her head, she also wears the vows of a woman from the Han family, only a few light red pearl hairpins are inserted on it, and her blue skirt with pleats is placed on blue shoes embroidered with lotus flowers. Looking at Qi Luo in the candlelight Approaching him slowly, with a slight smile in his moist eyes, Yinzhen suddenly realized that going out was also a mistake.Shaking her head secretly, can't this girl dress up a little more ordinary?
Thinking of Qi Luo's excited eyes just now, Yinzhen couldn't bear to let her down, and said to Ziying, "It's still windy outside, find a hat for Fujin to cover her face, so as not to distract her eyes." Ziying responded , took a light blue tulle hat, Qi Luo curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but under Yinzhen's serious eyes, she put on the hat obediently, and the tulle covered the tip of Qi Luo's nose, comforting herself. Not sure, but better than nothing.

Yinzhen brought Qi Luo to the Lantern Market in the capital under the secret protection of the guards of the palace. At this time, it was completely dark, and all kinds of lit lanterns were hung all over the long street, floating by the breeze. Shaking gently, it looks like two long snakes constantly swimming from a distance.On both sides of the street, various food stalls have been set up, and vendors selling all kinds of gadgets are constantly clamoring to attract customers.

Although the guards in the dark separated some passers-by, they were still mixed together. Sensing the unconcealable excitement on Qi Luo beside him, Yin Zhen stretched out his hand and paused, grabbed Qi Luo's soft little hand, and explained softly, "Look at your recklessness." It looks like, if I get lost, I still have to find you."

Qi Luo couldn't care about these things at this time, and just wanted to take a quick stroll around the night market in the Qing Dynasty.Holding Yinzhen's hand, while happily pointing to the hanging lanterns, he glanced at the small stalls passing by from time to time.Yinzhen sighed softly, and let Qi Luo lead her away with a somewhat helpless expression. He really couldn't figure out what could attract her to these vulgar and simple lanterns?Are there still few exquisite palace lanterns rewarded by the palace every year?Never seen her like this.

Seeing a lantern in the shape of a jade rabbit, Qi Luo couldn't move his feet. The stall owner looked at the couple in fine attire in front of him, and naturally knew that they must be from a wealthy family, so he was extra enthusiastic and took the one Qi Luo liked. Taking off the lantern and handing it to her, Qi Luo took it and held it up in front of her eyes with a slight smile. The shape of this jade rabbit is so cute, although the workmanship is a bit rough, but the jade rabbit's lazy appearance is really very satisfactory.

Even with his eyes covered, Yinzhen could still see the light and joy in Qi Luo's eyes. He handed a color to Gao Fu who was next to him, and Gao Fu knowingly handed the copper plate to the stall owner.Qi Luo smiled with crooked eyes, and said happily, "Master, look at how interesting this rabbit is. It seems to be very lazy. It even covers its eyes with its paws, but it's still hard to hide that aura."

Yinzhen took a closer look at the rabbit lamp, why didn't he feel what Qi Luo said at all, and then glanced at the stall owner and Gao Fu, and found that they were also confused, but the stall owner responded quickly enough, and praised with a smile, " Madam will still read it, and after hearing what you said, the little one also thinks it's the same thing."

Yinzhen directly pulled Qi Luo away, otherwise, judging by her posture, she seemed to want to discuss this lazy rabbit with the stall owner.Qi Luo was not sorry, he held the rabbit lamp in one hand, and led Yin Zhen to walk along the crowd with the other. During this period, as long as Qi Luo showed a slightly concerned expression, Yin Zhen would definitely instruct Gao Fu to buy it. The guards in the house were all holding small and scattered items in their hands, and Yinzhen made the calculations. Although there were many things, they didn't spend much money, but Qi Luo hadn't seen the joy and carefreeness in Qi Luo for a long time, and Yinzhen Sensing that Qi Luo was getting closer to him tonight, the clasped hands never let go.

When he came to a stall selling small headgear, Qi Luo took a fancy to a pair of silver earrings at a glance, and handed the lantern to the entourage next to him. Qi Luo picked up the earrings, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The ear bells with the same shape are really like the pair she has in modern times, looking at them seems to have a feeling of interlacing time and space.

Yinzhen frowned slightly, he knew how valuable the items in Qi Luo's jewelry box were, and usually a simple piece of head jewelry she wore was worth a lot, let alone those diamond jewelry and royal gift jewelry up.I'm afraid that the girls around her will look down on this pair of ears.How could Qi Luo, who has always been pampered, show such nostalgia for this?But since she likes it, she will buy it. Gao Fu took out the copper plate and gave it to the stall owner. He was stunned for a moment, and the stall owner quickly took it.

Looking at Qi Luo who was still in a daze, Yinzhen felt a little puzzled, could there be any reason why this earring didn't work?This year is the draft year, but Yang Kang refused to marry in front of Kangxi again, and then there were such rumors, Yinzhen's eyes flashed, and he wanted to ask, but when he heard Qi Luo's stomach grunt, his eyes grew brighter. Smiling, he looked around and saw that the door of a restaurant in the distance was not badly decorated, so he dragged Qi Luo towards it.

Standing in front of the restaurant, I glanced at the hanging plaque and wrote "Natural Residence".The Xiaoer who greeted the guests was also very clean and tidy, Yinzhen took Qi Luo into the natural residence, Gao Fu didn't wait for Yinzhen's order, and asked Xiaoer to take them to the private room.The shrewd Xiao Er looked at everyone's attire and knew that it must be from a wealthy family. How dare he be negligent, bent over and enthusiastically led Yinzhen and the others upstairs, pushed the door open and entered a box, the open window was still open. You can see the bustling scene outside. There are two landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the room, and the tables and chairs are also of high-quality workmanship. Yinzhen glanced carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and pulled Qi Luo to sit on the chair.

The entourage next to him naturally spread out, and Gao Fu, who knew what his master liked, gave Xiaoer a few words in a low voice, ordered some of Yinzhen's favorite dishes, and asked Xiaoer to prepare their special dishes, and Xiaoer flicked them away. With a white handkerchief around his neck, he said with a smile, "All of you are welcome."

Yinzhen looked at Qi Luo, who was in a daze, and asked calmly, "I like this so much?" Just as he was about to explain, there was a loud discussion from the next door, "Prince Zhuang's son is really infatuated, and he did such a thing. He really deserves to be a kind and righteous person." , That is, who in this capital doesn't know now? Who can do it if the position of Fujin is vacant?"

ps By the way, please ask for various tickets, sweat, it seems that I haven’t asked for it for a long time, so I have the cheek to shout, if you have a ticket, please throw it at me,
