The two strolled on Suzaku Street, colorful lanterns could be seen everywhere, and the noise came from all directions, which was more lively than New Year's Eve.

Xu Yuanqing noticed that passers-by would stare at the lantern in his hand, so he lifted the panchi lantern up and looked sideways at Xiang Changyuan, who was full of energy, "Is there anything unusual about this lantern?"

"Lanterns are indeed nothing unusual, but they are Panchi lanterns from Zhou's shop. Because Lu Qiuling orders lanterns for his house every year, many people in the capital flock to them. Seeing the business opportunity, Zhou's shop made a play to make rare things more expensive.What you can buy is either rich or expensive." Xiang Changyuan walked on the outside, stopped the panicked passers-by for him, and forced him to set aside a side of the crowded street for him to walk slowly.

Xu Yuanqing understood it. Lu Qiuling has the title of "the most beautiful woman in the capital".Had a fight.

The things she likes are naturally sought after by others. He returned the lantern to Xiang Changyuan, "How did you buy it?"

Xiang Changyuan moved the lamp to the other side so as not to hinder them from talking, "The Zhou family has business dealings with Cangbao Pavilion, so I asked the shopkeeper to leave one for me."

As the two talked, they saw that the front was very lively, the streets were blocked, and people were still gathering at both ends. Seeing the crowds, Xiang Changyuan hurriedly pulled him to the bank of the river, leaving the main street for pedestrians.

Xu Yuanqing was about to ask why, when he looked up and saw Li Jingshu who was outside the crowd jumping up and down, trying to run in, he knew where it was without asking.

He looked down at the lantern in Changyuan's hand. Anyway, the yard was much more interesting than this. Although Li Jingshu was naughty, she was still a polite child to him.The girl pulled over.

Nodding to Changyuan, he handed him the panchi lamp, and then resolutely walked towards the crowd, pulling the jumping little girl over with quick eyesight and quick hands, Li Jingshu muttered all the way, "Oh, who are you! Pull me to do it!"What!"

When people came in front of her, Xu Yuanqing didn't wait for her to see him react, and directly handed the lantern to her eyes, "What are you bothering about, we will see you off."

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Li Jingshu's eyes widened, she took the lantern and played with it unceremoniously. After a while, she woke up from her joy, puffed her cheeks and cursed angrily, "Who wants this lantern!"

Saying no, but holding onto it sincerely.

Xiang Changyuan: "What's wrong?"

Li Jingshu glared fiercely at the crowd, "Lu Qiuling and Yang Ming have gone in! I'm so annoying!"

Xiang Changyuan didn't seem to understand why she was angry, and cast a puzzled look at Xu Yuanqing.

Xu Yuanqing didn't explain to him, but first laughed at Li Jingshu, raised her hand and patted her on the head, "It's just buying a lantern, what kind of monster are you?"

Yang Ming was a role model for the children of the capital's aristocratic family since he was a child. He was often ridiculed maliciously after being rejected by Xiang Changning. He did not blame others, nor was he angry., the colleague explained clearly that it was indeed he who came to the door to propose a marriage and was rejected back then. General Xiang was honest and forthright, and he should be matched with someone better than him.

Yang Ming has ravines in his heart, and mountains and rivers in his eyes.

If he were a child of another family, he would have destroyed Xiang Changning completely, and would have erected a memorial archway for gentlemen.

When he and Li Jingshu were engaged, he specially invited Taishi Liu to send him a job. It can be seen how much he cherishes him. People who have always been upright buy skirts and shirts from Qianjin in Cangbao Pavilion.

He let Li Jingshu's all kinds of nonsense go unchecked, and he got tired of seeing this level of pampering.

Although Lu Qiuling is well-known, Yang Ming will never favor her.

Li Jingshu was furious, "What did I do? It's okay for Lu Qiuling to buy panchi lamps every year. The worst thing is, she can't buy it without buying someone else first. What kind of broken rule is this? Zhou's store belongs to her family!"

Xu Yuanqing grasped the information in her words, "Buy every year?"

"Every year." Xiang Changyuan replied, looking at the crowd, "It's like this every year. I heard that some people wanted to buy it, but they were all kicked out by Lu Qiuling's admirers, and there were lawsuits about their lives."

Li Jingshu's face was full of contempt and disdain, "Hey, bad woman, she knew that someone would make trouble for her, and she deliberately made a big fanfare to be a monster!"

Xu Yuanqing remembered Xiao Yu'an's words, he was not a showy person, but he was friendly with the outstanding family children, so he was not a simple person, he brought up the Panchi Lantern yesterday, because it was his sad matter, he didn't ask and didn't think too much about it,Thinking about it now, it seemed that he meant something, and he was deliberately mentioning something to him.

He made friends with Xiang Changyuan and opened the Treasure Pavilion together. He must have known that Xiang Changyuan ordered the Panchi Lantern. What he said yesterday seemed to be tempting and funny. Maybe he guessed Xiang Changyuan's thoughts, so he speculated that today heThere will be a lantern festival.

It feels like everything has a basis.

"To the long run."

"Huh?" The person who was called out quickly responded and turned to look at him.

"I also want another panchi lantern." Xu Yuanqing looked indifferent, since Lu Qiuling was inside, he came here all the time, just like Xiao Yu'an's wish, he went to meet for a while in person.

"Okay." Xiang Changyuan agreed without asking why, and when he was about to go, he met Xu Yuanqing, who was slightly startled, hesitated to speak, and took him with him after thinking for a moment.

Li Jingshu was eager to go in, and Pidianpidian followed the two of them.

Of those who besieged Zhou's shop, half were those who supported Lu Qiuling, and the rest were watching the fun. Only a small number really wanted to buy a lamp. They were bustling with each other, rubbing shoulders against each other.Being hit, quite irritable.

Xiang Changyuan walked side by side with him at the beginning, but later they dispersed when people came and went, only heard Xiang Changyuan desperately calling Shizi.

Xu Yuanqing frowned, and his mood became more and more irritable. When he was about to turn back, someone grabbed his wrist, and the people around him were forcibly separated.

"My lord, be careful."

Xiang Changyuan, who didn't know how to find him, tightly grasped his wrist, put the sword in the scabbard to block the left and right, and shouted loudly, "Excuse me!"

His voice was clear and filled with internal energy, and it had the effect of piercing clouds and cracking stones amidst the noisy voices. Everyone was silent for a moment, looking for the source of the sound, and taking advantage of this moment, Xiang Changyuan quickly passed through the crowd, successfully brought Xu Yuanqing out of the crowd, and rushed directlyArrived in front of the store.

"Hey, who are you..."

The janitor at the door was about to scold at the first sight, but his eyes fell on Xu Yuanqing and he was stunned.

Everyone forgot that Panchi Lantern was crowded and his head was broken, he was in a state of embarrassment, and it looked really indecent, but suddenly a stunning color appeared, like spring water still staining his eyes, not only brightening his eyes, but also refreshing his heart.

Everyone was also stunned, this fairy who came from nowhere was more beautiful than the princess who went in first, forgot to push forward for a while, and only cared about admiring the beauty.

Seeing this, Xiang Changyuan raised his eyebrows, pulled Xu Yuanqing to his side, took half a step forward to block most of it, took out a bag of silver from his arms and stuffed it on the boy, then pulled Xu Yuanqing straight inWalk.

When the boy came back to his senses, the people had already gone in, and the people under the steps were making a fuss, so he had to raise his voice to stop them, and accidentally slipped in two of them.

There are indeed many lanterns in the Zhou family, all kinds of strange things, insects, fish and animals on the ground, birds and dragons hanging on the beams, colorful, lifelike, bright and charming, like stepping into a dream world in an instant.

Someone approached not far away, and it was only when they got closer that they could see their faces clearly. It was Lu Qiuling and Yang Ming, followed by the shopkeeper of the Zhou family.

"Your Majesty?" Lu Qiuling stepped forward a few steps, surprised after seeing the person, his eyes fell on the hands of the two, Xiang Changyuan only remembered, and hurriedly let go of the person's wrist.

Yang Ming and the shopkeeper also came forward. Before Yang Ming could speak, he heard "Yang Ming!" Looking up, it was Li Jingshu who came in by taking advantage of troubled waters. She ran over shouting, and hugged Yang Ming, "YouI'm furious!"

Yang Ming was tightly held by her waist with her hands, his thin skin blushed when others stared straight at him, shyly pushed Li Jingshu away, and said softly, "Don't make trouble."

"Just make trouble! Just make trouble! Just make trouble!" Li Jingshu refused to let go, even if she didn't let go, she had to rub her head against him with every inch.

Yang Ming's face was flushed, but the people in the store turned their eyes away knowingly. Only Xu Yuanqing and Xiang Changyuan looked straight at him, with helpless eyes and envious eyes. He couldn't stand Li Jingshu's fuss, so he stretched out his hand and pulled her hand from behind forcibly.Don't wait for her to flare up again, raise your hand to cover her mouth, and drag her to another place, so as not to cause people to see a joke and spread it to damage her reputation.

After the people left, it became quieter. Lu Qiuling had a feud with the two of them, and after a perfunctory salute, he wanted to leave.

"Princess."

Xu Yuanqing yelled for someone, Lu Qiuling paused, looked at the back and struggled for a while before turning around, with a smirk on his face, "Do you have any orders?"

Xu Yuanqing hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were really cold, he looked at the dazzling lanterns in the store, and reminded her earnestly, "There are many people outside, many of them are to admire the beauty of the princess, go out now in case you meetIt’s not good to ruin the innocence of the princess.”

"Thank you, my son, for your concern. The house slave is guarding the door, so nothing will happen." Lu Qiuling leaned over and saluted to thank him. Before he could turn around and leave, Xu Yuanqing sneered, "I don't care about you."

Xu Yuanqing stepped forward with a flick of his sleeves, his gaze was like a torch, "You are the concubine appointed by His Majesty, and soon you will be the prince's wife. I am the prince's uncle, so if my nephew and daughter-in-law did something wrong, I naturally have to mention something."

His words are eloquent, especially when he mentions "uncle" and "nephew and daughter-in-law", he can bite the accent, like a knife piercing deeply into the heart.

The blue veins on the forehead of Lu Qiu's aura bulged, and because others did not dare to take it out, he gritted his teeth and replied, "What the prince said is, I will ask people to clean up before leaving."

"Qing people?" Xu Yuanqing laughed, looking at Chang Yuan who was standing not far from him, as if he didn't listen to their conversation, he threw himself on the lantern and carefully selected.

He turned his head back to look at Lu Qiuling, who was treating him coldly, and said softly, "What to do if you startle the people. The prince is sympathetic to the people. If you know that the princess is doing it for his own convenience, he will definitely be displeased. How about implicating the princess?"Is good."

Hearing this, the one carrying the lantern lowered his eyes to Chang Yuan and smiled.

With Shen Qiwen's virtue, I am happy for Bo Lu Qiuling, not to mention disturbing the people, even if I am imitating King You to play tricks on the people, and even killing people for pleasure, I will not blink. Xu Yuanqing's ability to open his eyes and tell lies is more and more perfect.I am afraid that I will believe his nonsense.

Lu Qiuling turned her head to look outside the door, and she could vaguely see a crowd of people. She turned her head and asked through gritted teeth, "What do you think, sir?"

Xu Yuanqing: "The princess thinks it's feasible to go out through the back door?"

Lu Qiuling's eyes widened with anger, she was naturally proud, she was humiliated by him several times, and she hated him to the bone.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Xu Yuanqing was happy and aggressive, "The Princess should focus on the overall situation."

"Okay." Lu Qiuling finally held back her anger. Now is the critical period. She has not yet performed the canonization ceremony, so she can't make troubles, especially Xu Yuanqing's sister is Empress Xu, so she can't offend her.

The shopkeeper carefully led the way for Lu Qiuling, and Xiang Changyuan moved to the side of Xu Yuanqing, "I see that there are no panchi lanterns."

Xu Yuanqing looked at him speechlessly, and moved away in disgust, for fear that his stupidity would infect her.

But the shopkeeper came back after a while, with a few more palm prints on his face, and he vented his anger on innocent people when he was angry. It was obviously Xu Yuanqing who beat the shopkeeper.

Xu Yuanqing turned a blind eye and asked the shopkeeper to come over to talk. Looking back, he saw that there were still people waiting outside the store, so he asked where he could not disturb the people. The shopkeeper was too busy to invite people to the second floor.

There is a hall on the second floor for guests, and since Lu Qiuling left, people can enter the first floor to buy lanterns.

Xu Yuanqing sat down, and Xiang Changyuan stood next to him with his sword in his arms, just like a guard. The shopkeeper waited on him carefully, not daring to speak loudly.

Xu Yuanqing pushed the teacup away, looked up at him with a sharp expression, "If I ask you, if there is even half a lie, I will burn your shop down."

The shopkeeper Shun Liu knelt down, repeatedly promising not to lie.

"Two years ago, Young Master Xiao's servant girl came to buy the Panchi Lantern, do you remember?"

The shopkeeper's complexion changed suddenly, and he kowtowed again and again, "Your Majesty is aware that the grassroots did not harm her! No!"

Xiang Changyuan glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Yuanqing turned to look at him, thinking that he was a piece of wood, but unexpectedly he was very good and useful.

After the shopkeeper was reprimanded, he didn't dare to say more nonsense, but carefully recalled the things and stated them one by one.

Because of Lu Qiuling, the Panchi lanterns in the Zhou family are not worried about not being sold, not only the price has increased, but also the limit has been increased, making it hard to find every year during the Lantern Festival.

In fact, they only sell it to high-ranking officials at a high price, and the common people only have a few lamps to grab. They understand the truth that rare things are more expensive.

They will definitely give face to a big family like the Xiao family, but that girl did not come in the name of the Xiao family, but the concubine Xiao Yu'an, so naturally they shouldn't.

He asked someone to chase her out, but unexpectedly, the little girl would not give up and sneaked in without a sound. It happened to be the time when Lu Qiuling came to carry the lamp, and she bumped into the princess without paying attention.

Lu Qiuling's panchi lamp was broken, and the shopkeeper begged for mercy when he saw it, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch it again.

Lu Qiuling was displeased, saying that she took this panchi lamp for the prince, and just now she inscribed it, which was very meaningful. Seeing the little girl who came out was furious, she immediately asked the servant to arrest her.

The Zhou family's shop is now entirely dependent on Lu Qiuling's favor, so naturally they dare not offend, so they let it go.

Lu Qiuling forced the little girl to restore the lantern, otherwise her hand would be chopped off. The Panchi lantern was made so finely and intricately that ordinary people could not do it.

The little girl has a strong temper, knowing that she was deliberately embarrassing, she didn't admit her mistake, and struggled to scold Lu Qiuling for her beauty, for being a femme fatale.

The shopkeeper thought that the little girl was going to die, but he never thought that the princess would just punish her with five slaps and then let her go.

He also passed this matter on to others, saying that the Princess Bodhisattva is a very kind person with a heart.

Later, Xiao Yu'an personally came to the shop to ask about the girl, and the shopkeeper knew that the little girl was gone.

Seeing the shopkeeper shaking into a sieve, Xu Yuanqing leaned over slightly, and asked coldly, "Why do you think the little girl died?"

The shopkeeper kowtowed in a panic: "Caomin don't know."

"Tsk." Xu Yuanqing snorted coldly, turned around to Changyuan, went to get the candlestick, and asked, "Where to start burning?"

The shopkeeper trembled all over, and his voice trembled, "My lord, Caomin really don't know!"

I don't know how it can shake like this, Xu Yuanqing is most annoyed by this kind of stubborn person, leaning on the chair and rubbing his temples, "Start burning from people."

"Okay." Xiang Changyuan got into the drama, played the part of the guard, and walked to the shopkeeper without saying a word after hearing the instructions.

The shopkeeper watched Xiang Changyuan approaching with a blank face, the candlestick in his hand flickered, his face turned pale with fright, and he said loudly: "I know! I know!"

Hearing this, Xiang Changyuan stopped, and turned back with a bored face.

"I was worried after the princess left that day, so I followed secretly, and saw that she gave the maid a bottle." The shopkeeper's face was ugly, and he was under great pressure. Now he was full of desire to survive, and he revealed the secret, "I saw the maid left and followed, and found that the maid had turned into Xiao's mansion, and Mr. Xiao came in a few days."

The shopkeeper lay on the ground and wept bitterly. Now that he said this, people on both sides would not be able to offend them, and they would surely die.

Xiang Changyuan frowned slightly, "Have you told Young Master Xiao about this?"

The shopkeeper's cry trembled, and he continued to cry, "Young Master Xiao came to look for me, I have never dared to say it!"

"Heh!" Xu Yuanqing sneered, ignoring his nonsense. With Xiao Yu'an's temperament, even if threats were not enough, just throwing money would make people open their mouths. How could they let people go without any news?He was his man years ago, and he waited so long because he wanted to wait for a chance.

Coincidentally, he was at odds with the crown prince, and Lu Qiuling was also the crown princess, so she came back in many ways. This matter was in his favor, so he wanted to use his power to seek justice for the little girl.

Xiao Yu'an is a fox, but as long as it doesn't interfere with his plan, it doesn't matter.

It was late at night, and there were fewer and fewer people on the road, so Xiang Changyuan sent Xu Yuanqing home.

The two walked quietly for a long time before Xiang Changyuan said, "Brother Xiao never told me about this."

Xu Yuanqing: "No one can really trust a person completely without hiding their thoughts."

"I can." Xiang Changyuan stared at him with firm eyes.

Xu Yuanqing blinked and smiled slightly, "Really?"

Xiang Changyuan was sure: "Every word is true, I will never lie to my son, and I will never lie."

His eyes were sincere, people passing by on the street looked sideways, Xu Yuanqing was really afraid that he would be driven into a hurry, and a joke would be made in the public, so don't open your eyes and walk forward quickly, ignoring his words.

Seeing this, Xiang Changyuan was in a hurry, and hurried to catch up, "My lord! I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, if you ask me, I will never lie."

"Nothing to ask!" Xu Yuanqing was speechless, looking at the suspicious eyes of passers-by, wishing to bury his head in his clothes, but the stubborn one kept chasing after him and said, "Why can't I have nothing to say?Aren't you curious?"

Xu Yuanqing: "..."

Fool!Why does he like this stupid thing!
