"Miss, miss, please slow down, are we going back to the palace?" Xiang Nu followed behind Liu Chupei, she couldn't keep up.

The person in front suddenly stopped, "Who said they are going back to the palace."

It was just Xu Shi, and they had not been out for half an hour, how could they return to the palace so early.

"But didn't you just say..." Just now she clearly heard the princess saying that she was going back.

"Anu." Liu Chupei glanced at her angrily, "In the future, don't follow me out, wait until you have half of Xiangdong's cleverness, then follow me." She didn't wait for Xiangnu to say anything, He turned around and walked towards the depths of the crowd.

For a while, Xiang Nu didn't understand the meaning of the princess's words, and when she saw her leaving, she immediately followed her without thinking about anything else.

"Miss, take a look at the lantern. If you like it, buy one." The peddler next to her saw her in brocade and jade clothes, and she had an extraordinary bearing. She must be a lady from a wealthy family, and looked at her eagerly.

Liu Chupei heard the sound and looked, there were more than a dozen lanterns hanging on the shelf, which didn't seem to be well-regulated in the palace, and the lamp shapes were also various. She picked up a lotus lantern and looked carefully, although the handicraft was not as good as the ones in the palace. A few of them can win in their exquisiteness.

Seeing that Liu Chupei liked it, Xiang Nu stepped forward to ask for the price.

"Miss, this lamp is the best selling lamp today, there is only one lamp left, and it only costs one dollar." Seeing that Liu Chupei likes it, the merchant couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that he could make some money today.

"Tuan money! Who are you bluffing, a lamp costs a tau money." This trader is really a lion, the money can catch up with the average family's monthly expenses.

She glanced at Liu Chupei, hesitated to speak, her princess didn't know the sufferings of the world, she was pampered in the palace, so she didn't know the value of money.

Her monthly money in the palace is only two pennies, but this peddler is lucky, he can catch up with her half a month's monthly money with just one mouthful.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chupei asked seeing Xiang Nu standing there without any response.

"Let's make it cheaper." Shan Nu didn't give up, and chatted with the peddler.

The peddler also knows how to watch people, and knowing that the one who is in charge is the woman with the lamp next to him, he said to her, "Miss, it really can't be any cheaper. This is a small business, and they all come out to make a living. The whole family Everyone is counting on today."

"Anu, what are you still doing?" She was a little impatient when she heard the peddler chattering aside.

Xiang Nu had no choice but to snort softly at the vendor, "Are you taking cash?"

One tael of silver was worth a consistent amount of money. At this time, silver was not yet used as an official currency, but there was a small amount of it in circulation among the people.

Every time Xiang Nu went out, he only brought some broken silver and a bag of copper coins. If he went out with more than a dozen coins, wouldn't he be exhausted.

The peddler's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Receive and collect." Sure enough, this lady is not an ordinary person at first glance. After he has done business in the past two days, it is not likely that a few people can come up with money. In his opinion, the money It's worth more than usual money.

Xiang Nu took out a tael of silver from his purse, slapped it on the peddler's hand angrily, and walked to Liu Chupei's side.

Liu Chupei picked up the lotus lantern and walked along the flow of people, with Xiang Nu following behind.

"What are you angry with that peddler?" There was a faint yelling in front of her, she stood on tiptoe and looked over there, but she couldn't see anything, and turned her head to look at Shan Nu.

"Miss." Xiang Nu was still a little annoyed, "The peddler saw that your status is not low at first glance, and the lion opened his mouth, and he was rushing to do black-hearted business today."

"Okay, just buy Quan Dang to be happy." Liu Chupei pretended to be angry, "If you look like this again, I won't let you follow."

Well, well, in her opinion, what is buying happiness is clearly buying a lesson.

Seeing what she said, Xiang Nu didn't want to think about it any more, and her own princess finally came out to play today, and she didn't want to disturb her good mood.

"Miss, Anu help you hold that river lantern." Shanu saw that she was holding a lantern in one hand and half holding the previous river lantern in her arms, carefully avoiding the people next to her, which was really inconvenient.

"No need." Liu Chupei tightened her grip on the river lantern in her arms. This maid is a messy girl, what if someone breaks the lantern, she might as well hold it by herself.

Shannu knew her own princess's temperament, so she didn't insist, but followed her closely, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, there would be some danger.

My own princess is really a careless person, she walked all the way, looking here and there, people passing by would look at her more if she didn't see her, and those who walked in front would look back a few times from time to time.Shan Nu sighed helplessly, and took another half step forward, following behind her.

But at this time, a gaze from the opposite restaurant was fixed on the white figure on the street. It wasn't that he was staring at her intentionally, but this white figure was really eye-catching.He played with the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, stood up, and said to the person next to him: "Let's go, it's time to go down and have a look."

Not far away, the crowd formed two or three circles, with dozens of lanterns in the middle. An old man stood under the lanterns and said something to the crowd.

There was some noise around, she couldn't hear clearly, so she walked around half a circle before finding a place to stand.The old man narrated to the crowd, and only then did he realize that a lantern festival was being held here.

Before guessing the riddle, you need to deposit fifty copper coins. Those who guess the lantern riddle can choose a lamp to take away, and the fifty copper coins can also be returned in full. , The fifty copper coins were also in vain.

Before the coin was pressed, the lantern riddles were not announced, which required both luck and talent. Besides, it was only fifty copper coins, which was not expensive, and it attracted many people eager to try.

A group of young talents competed to participate, they all wanted to perform in front of the crowd, and even wanted to win a lamp for the girl beside them.

"Anu, which lamp do you look at better?" Liu Chupei also felt a little itchy in her heart, although she already had a lamp in her hand, it would be good if she didn't get it, she was also a little greedy.

"Miss, you want to go too?" Others don't know, but Shanu knows how much ink she has in her belly. She usually gets sleepy when she reads, but besides reading, she can live and breathe all day long, although she doesn't have any ink at all. But guessing lantern riddles in front of her is a bit embarrassing for her.

Thinking about it, Liu Chupei also knew how much she weighed, so she just told Xiang Nu that she didn't go forward to mix with that group of people. Everyone squeezed forward, but it seemed that the place where she was standing was empty.

"That lotus lantern is really beautiful." She looked at the lotus lantern hanging in front of her, then raised the lotus lantern in her hand, and muttered.

I have seen the lotus lantern over there, but the one in my hand is not enough.

Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, which made her tremble, and the lamp in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She turned around angrily, and saw a man behind her looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Xie Heng, why are you scaring me!" Seeing who it was, she gave him an annoyed look.

Xiang Nu saluted, "Thank you, Young Master."

"Hey, isn't this Liu Chupei?" Xie Heng stood aside with his arms folded, and smiled charmingly, "Let me guess, why are you here." He paused intentionally, and leaned forward, " Sneak out."

"Xie Heng, let me tell you, you are not allowed to reveal a single word about meeting me here today." She gave him a vicious look and warned him.

Xie Heng has a big mouth, and he pokes out everything, because of him, she has been punished many times, so meeting him today, I'm afraid nothing good will happen.

"I want to say, what do you do with me?" He smiled instead of anger.

When he laughed, the lights on the side dimmed a lot, which didn't work for her, this man just had a deceptive face, he didn't know how bad it was in his bones, no one else knew, but she knew it clearly.
