Lady Zhao

Chapter 85

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the capital of Daliang is decorated with lanterns, like a galaxy of stars.

For the rare annual Lantern Festival, Mrs. Zhao specially allowed the sons and daughters of the family to go out and play, as well as the old servants and maids, leaving only the younger ones and the mother-in-law in charge to guard the garden.

Zhao Wenxi originally wanted to go with her, but her sprained ankle hadn't healed yet. Although she was seven or eight points better, her grandmother refused and insisted on leaving her at home to rest.Zhao Wenxuan didn't want to be with Zhao Wenwan and didn't make a sound. In the end, only Zhao Yuanli and Zhao Wenwan went outside to enjoy the lanterns together.

This kind of arrangement was more in line with Zhao Wenwan's wishes, and she went back to her garden, changed her clothes, and followed Zhao Yuanli into the carriage. The latter saw that she had taken off her cloak and hat, and she was still dressed in plain clothes as usual, so she couldn't help but I was stunned for a moment.

"Brother, is my face stained with dirt?" Zhao Wenwan touched his cheek subconsciously.

Zhao Yuanli paused for a moment, and asked which girl in the Shangyuan Festival didn't spend a lot of time dressing up, competing for beauty, just Wanwan's temperament... Then she shook her head with a smile, Wanwan was bright and charming even if she didn't dress up, and then sent out a voice. The groom moves on.

During the Lantern Festival, the imperial city never sleeps at night, and during the Spring Festival Lantern Festival, there are a variety of operas, and it is very lively. The closer you get to Chang'an Street, the more noisy the sound is. After a while, the driver has to stop the carriage, and respectfully invites the young lady to get out of the carriage and walk. .

Zhao Wenwan picked up the curtain to see that the streets were full of traffic, shoulder to shoulder, and their carriages couldn't get in at all.Zhao Yuanli recruited guards and told them to follow at a distance, and he helped Zhao Wenwan get off the car.

The two disappeared into the crowd, stopped and walked for a while, and suddenly their eyes widened.

Not far away, a huge lighthouse was erected on the large square. The lighthouse was ten feet high, and each floor was composed of lanterns of various colors. Dozens of colorful ribbons hung from the top of the tower and connected to the promenade under the tower.The promenade is in the shape of a zigzag, just enclosing the lighthouse in the center. Red lines are drawn on the guardrails on both sides. The lines are full of colorful papers. Under the colored papers, there are seats, pens, inks and papers at intervals. Inkstone.

All the men, women, old and young in the corridor either looked at the colored notes carefully and muttered words, or wrote eloquently with a few words, or frowned and shook their heads, or smiled happily.

The joyful atmosphere surging in the street is very contagious. Zhao Wenwan looked interesting, with a smile on his lips unconsciously, walking and watching beside Zhao Yuanli step by step.

"Little lady was born so beautiful, how about giving you this Diao Chan lantern to worship the moon?" Suddenly there was a deliberately lowered rough voice behind her, with a hint of teasing in her words.

Zhao Wenwan sensed something was wrong when she heard the sound. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the calm smile on Zhao Yuanli's face, turned around, and faced the "Deng Tuzi" who was a little shorter than her, annoyed and funny Said, "Is it fun to make fun of me?"

"Sister Wan figured it out right away." Yongping, who was dressed as a young scholar, smiled playfully, recovered his voice, and stuffed the lantern in Zhao Wenwan's hand, "Here, this should be an apology!"

Holding the lantern, Zhao Wenwan looked behind her, only two strong men followed, and couldn't help frowning, "Why do you only bring so few people out?"

"It's not that there are fewer belts, it's obviously more, just let them not come out to be an eyesore." Yongping's face fell slightly, but he was also a little accustomed to being arranged like this. He sighed and continued, "Bring a group of people. It’s only the ones who show off in the market that stand out, no one will recognize me in disguise like this, and besides, there is brother Yuanli, he will definitely protect me!”

After all, he looked up at Zhao Yuanli, his round eyes gleaming with full-hearted dependence, and the latter returned a doting smile, and tightened the fox-fur scarf for her.Zhao Wenwan, who was blinded by the interaction between the two, felt that she was brighter than the lantern, and suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Whether this loss is because the elder brother is no longer alone, or the usual person who must be there at this time has not appeared...Zhao Wenwan himself is not very clear.

Zhao Yuanli seemed to have noticed something, and his long eyes flicked to a certain place, hiding some deep meaning. "Wan Wan thought that person would appear?"

"Uh..." Zhao Wenwan's words froze for a moment.

"That person? My sixth brother? He..." Yongping thought for a while, and suddenly smiled and was about to say something, so the girl who was walking towards Zhao Yuanli diverted his attention, pulled him behind, Faced with those glue-like gazes, he bared his teeth, "Brother Yuan Li is mine."

Hearing Yongping's charming voice, the girl who came forward did not misunderstand, she smiled and left, only thinking in the bottom of her heart that the man was so pretty when she smiled at her just now, so she was fascinated and disregarded her reserve .

Zhao Wenwan didn't want to hinder the two of them from falling in love at all, seeing Yongping like this, it would not be easy to get out of the palace, so she wanted the two to get along more, so that they didn't have to worry about themselves. Just meet at the carriage place before the end of the lanterns.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yuanli also agreed, leaving more manpower for Zhao Wenwan, and after repeated instructions to be careful, he took Yongping, who saw everything new, to play.

After the two left, Zhao Wenwan felt a little lonely. Even though the crowd was crowded, the hustle and bustle around him had nothing to do with him. He couldn't help but stumbled on the street in a daze. After a while, he regained his energy and turned around to move forward. , but a figure standing there for an unknown period of time grabbed all his attention.

The hem of the slender robe brushed across the clean bluestone, carrying a trace of cold wind, making him want to leave. When he met her eyes with his natural aristocratic temperament and his cold eyebrows, he suddenly burst into a faint smile.

Zhao Wenwan was stunned at the moment, the noisy sounds around him faded away like running water, only the man and that smile remained, engraved in his eyes, the colorful lights reflected each other, and a rather vulgar but very fitting sentence appeared in his mind.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but when they suddenly looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place.

It wasn't until Gu Jing approached, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, that Zhao Wenwan came back to his senses, and looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What is this for?"

"Are you so happy to see this king?" Looking at the little girl who was 'crying with joy' in front of him, Gu Jingxing looked serious, but there was still a bit of embarrassment in his voice.

"..." Zhao Wenwan wiped his eyes, moistened his fingertips, twitched the corners of his mouth and looked back with a paralyzed face, "I wonder if my lord has heard of a disease called "Winning Tears?" of.

Gu Jingxing shrugged needlessly, as if to say that it is good if you are happy, Zhao Wenwan somehow felt that he was a little less imposing, coughed dryly, his heart throbbed slightly, but he was generous and did not flinch, but his eyes fell on him involuntarily. On his lips, thinking of the kiss in the back mountain temple that day, he could no longer remain calm after all, and his face was slightly flushed. Fortunately, there was a cloak to cover him, and then he followed the lion dance passing by on stilts, pretending to be excited.

Zhao Wenwan shuttled through the soft halo emitted by the lanterns of various colors hanging above her head. The crescent white cloak embroidered with golden peony was draped over her body, which was charming and charming. A pair of eyes are rippling, and she walks gracefully with a captivating and charming posture.

Just one glance makes it hard to look away.

Among the crowd, there was another person who was also attracted to the gaze. Standing not far away, he looked at this scene in surprise, with a different emotion in his eyes following the touch of moonlight.With a nimble figure, the smile on her face is like a mountain spring, clear and clear. In an instant, the smile smacks on the corners of her beautiful lips with the light opening of her white teeth. A lady is taught to smile without showing her teeth since she was a child, but she doesn't care about it. Naturally, Fang Zimo was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was the best smile he had ever seen in his life so far, which made people unconsciously reveal a faint smile.

However, when Fang Zimo saw the man beside her in the next moment, Fang Zimo froze his smile, why was it him?I don't know what the latter said, Zhao Wenwan turned her head abruptly, but because she turned so violently, her head almost hit the bridge of Gu Jingxing's nose at once, she subconsciously dodged backwards, and she didn't know whose foot she stepped on , his body tilted, and he fell back uncontrollably.

Fang Zimo took a step forward subconsciously, and saw Gu Jingxing grabbing Zhao Wenwan's slender arm with ease, his handsome eyebrows showed a different style, and he was completely different from the gloomy and cold sixth prince in the past It is clear at a glance that the person is deeply affectionate, and although the woman in his arms got up quickly, he still caught the fleeting shyness.

He stopped and stood there blankly, as if something exploded in his heart.It was rumored in the capital that the eldest daughter of the Zhao family loved the Sixth Prince with deep affection...

"Hey, young master, do you still want to buy this thing?" The peddler next to him asked a little impatiently when he saw the brocade-clothed young man holding something in a daze.

Fang Zimo paid the money as if he had just woken up from a dream, and only felt sad when he saw the pair of earrings in his hand. At that time, he thought it was very suitable for Miss Zhao, but I don't know if there is still a chance to give it away...

The navy blue robe flashed and disappeared into the crowd, and no one even noticed the shallow sigh.

Gu Jingxing stretched out his hand to protect Zhao Wenwan and consciously swept towards a certain direction. He always felt that Fang had a gaze, but he didn't notice any malice, and the strange feeling disappeared suddenly.After finding nothing, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Wenwan frowning slightly and seemed to dislike the crowded scene, so he led the crowd out of the crowd, and said that there was a gazebo in front with a very good view, where he could enjoy the scenery and take a nap Down.
