proud wife and concubine

On Qixi Festival, the curfew is lifted in the capital as in previous years. Men, women, young and old, especially young men and women, flock to the market, guess lantern riddles, set off river lanterns, watch fireworks, and go shopping in the market.Under the night, the capital city lights up like day, bustling and bustling.

Lu Weishuang came out from the Lijing Gate in the northwest corner of the imperial city, rode his horse all the way south, and entered Fangguo Street, where the noise filled his ears. Sitting on the horse and looking down, there were moving heads everywhere.And only half an hour ago, she was still in a bone-chilling prison cell, gouging out the eyes of a prisoner and cutting off the tongues of two people with her own hands.The smelly and scalding sticky scarlet blood splashed on her cold and pale skin.Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and took a closer look, her fingers were long and slender, without a trace of blood stains, they seemed to be no different from ordinary women.

With the cool wind blowing on his face, Lu Weishuang was in a daze. Is the life of more than [-] years just a vain dream? If so, how should I wake up; if not, why should I live on?

In the son-in-law's mansion, Li Yuerong refused Li Yuyao's invitation to go out to play with Zhao Xu under the pretext of wanting to accompany Zhao Xu.After Li Yuyao, Shen Qingmo, and Li Lian'er set off in a horse-drawn carriage, she took Xiao Xueqiong out of the house through the back door.

"Sister, do I really not need to disguise myself? What if I am recognized?" Xiao Xueqiong followed Li Yuerong closely, and asked worriedly.

She was wearing an ai-green skirt, and she was wearing a bun that is popular among young girls in Beijing nowadays. She was fresh, lovely and charming.

Li Yuerong was dressed in men's clothing, wearing a stone blue brocade robe with flowing dark patterns, black boots on her feet, and a seven-treasure dagger at her waist. In addition, she was taller than ordinary women, with a dignified and dignified temperament. Like an extraordinary son, except for the weird and hideous mask on his face.

"Don't worry, you don't leave the gate all day long, and if you don't leave the second gate, how many people do you know in Beijing? If you really meet someone you know, say that you came out with Zhao Xu, and you got separated for a while." Li Yuerong led him by the hand. Xiao Xueqiong's little hands did not slow down.

"By the way, if we really get separated, we'll meet at the Drum Tower in the middle of Zhuque Street, remember?" Li Yuerong reminded her worriedly, she took Xiao Xueqiong alone, feeling a little worried in her heart.

"I got it, I got it, my sister said it no less than five times today, and she's starting to talk before she's old." Xiao Xueqiong teased, and then gave Li Yuerong a slap in the head.

"You messed up my bun!" Xiao Xueqiong complained, Li Yuerong heard this, and simply ravaged the broken hair on her forehead, and the two flirted and flirted all the way to the central axis of the imperial city.

"There are so many people!" Only then did Xiao Xueqiong understand why Li Yuerong repeatedly reminded her.The crowd was surging, shoulder to shoulder, and she was short in stature, so she could only look at the backs of her predecessors and sigh.

"So you have to follow me closely, and be careful if you get lost and be abducted by human traffickers." Li Yuerong clasped her fingers together, and while answering, he protected her from collisions with others.

"Sister, look, the lanterns hanging in that shop are so beautiful, let's go and have a look?" Xiao Xueqiong pointed to the lantern shop not far away.

Li Yuerong nodded and said: "Okay, but at the moment people are next to each other, and it's inconvenient to walk with a lamp. Let's go and see first, and make a reservation for the one you like, and come back later to get it."

As they talked, they walked to the shop, waited for a while, and came up to the front. A young woman asked with a smile, "Would you like to buy lamps or make lamps?"

"Lamp making? Do you mean you can do it yourself?" Xiao Xueqiong looked around, and saw two young girls painting and drawing on gauze paper.

"Yes, if you do it yourself, the styles are limited, only these three," the woman pointed to a row of lanterns hanging high behind her and said, "However, if you do it yourself, the inscriptions and drawings should be based on your heart, which is more memorable. "

"Let's make one by ourselves. My sister will make one for me, and I will make one for my sister." Xiao Xueqiong suggested with great interest, and before Li Yuerong could reply, she rolled up her sleeves and picked up a pen.

"Each of us attach a poem to each other." Li Yuerong first dipped in the paint, briefly sketched a few strokes on the gauze paper, and then proposed to Xiao Xueqiong.

"Okay, do it yourself, or invite the ancients," Xiao Xueqiong readily agreed.

"My heart is my ambition, and my speech is my poem. Just write what you want." Li Yuerong added a few thick inks and colors, and then began to write poems.Seeing Xiao Xueqiong, she hurriedly wrote.

"Okay." Li Yuerong put down his pen, examined his masterpiece, and felt quite satisfied.

"I'm fine too." Xiao Xueqiong also stopped writing.

Li Yuerong went over to have a look, Xiao Xueqiong painted a lotus with two pedicles standing on the Lushui, and the inscription was "Pisces with eyes crossed, mandarin ducks with necks; holding hands, we will grow old together."

"Well, not bad, I like it." The frank and sincere confession was very suitable for Li Yuerong.

"I'll take a look at my sister's." Xiao Xueqiong smiled and went to see Li Yuerong's masterpiece.

What Li Yuerong painted was a bunch of begonias, and the poem inscribed was "The beauty of the country is better than the delicate face, and the clear dew is better than the fragrance of sweat. When people are in the middle of the night, let the king pity you as much as you want."

"Not bad? I wrote it myself." Li Yuerong asked triumphantly.

"You..." Xiao Xueqiong's face was flushed red, and she lowered her voice when she saw that no one was paying attention, "How dare you write it so blatantly, and be seen by others..."

"I'm wearing a mask, who knows who?" Li Yuerong didn't take it seriously, and asked the shop owner, "These two copies, help us paste them up, this is the deposit, and I will pay the rest when I come to pick it up later."

"Let's go and put a river lantern." Li Yuerong led Xiao Xueqiong to walk on the Pingluan Bridge. Under the bridge, the Yushui River was full of river lanterns, shining brightly in the dark river, like flowing and shining in the dark night Galaxy.

"Okay." Xiao Xueqiong also had the same intention, and the two of them walked down the bridge arm in arm. Who would have thought that there would be two streams of people at the bend, one going east and the other going west, and Xiao Xueqiong would be flown with a pain in her wrist He rushed away from Li Yuerong.

"Sister! Sister Yuerong!" Xiao Xueqiong shouted eagerly in the crowd, waving her hands, but there was a lot of people around her, and they kept pushing forward. Forced by the crowd, she had no choice but to walk along the flow of people for a while, and arrived at the open space in front of her. Only then did he find a place to stop.

"Hey, it really hit the spot." Xiao Xueqiong sighed, and looked around, but there was no sign of Li Yuerong, and she must have been rushed away by another stream of people.Fortunately, the imperial capital is very neatly planned. Although Xiao Xueqiong seldom leaves the mansion, she also knows that she is in the east of the city. As long as she walks north along the east-west road, she can reach Zhuque Street, and then find the Drum Tower to meet Li Yuerong .

Xiao Xueqiong hurriedly walked, although the market was crowded with people at this time, so she didn't have to worry about meeting strong bandits, but after all, without Li Yuerong by her side, she felt quite uneasy.

"Ah!" Before Xiao Xueqiong could react, a big man came up to him, and suddenly bumped into him. Xiao Xueqiong staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Jiang Jiang stabilized his figure, and before he could figure out the situation, he saw the big man who bumped into her and fell to the ground, crying out in grief, his acting skills were extremely exaggerated.

"Oh! What can I do, my heirloom is about to go to the pawnshop to save my seriously ill mother!" The man cried, but there was no tear on his face.

I was afraid that I might be in trouble, Xiao Xueqiong frowned, looked around, and saw that there were not many people watching, so she wanted to sneak into the crowd and leave quickly, but in the end she couldn't bear it, thinking that although he bumped into him on his own initiative, But if what he said is true, wouldn't I have killed a person.

"Girl, you are hurting people's property, so you can't just leave." At this moment, another big man stepped forward, pretending to be fair.He was tall and tall, with bare arms, advancing step by step, Xiao Xueqiong felt a little regretful.

"It's natural. I bumped into this big brother, so I should be responsible. I just don't know how much this broken porcelain bottle is worth?" Xiao Xueqiong replied after she stabilized her mind.

"This is a vessel used by the former emperor. My grandfather spent a thousand dollars to buy it. Although the emperor has changed his surname now, the materials and workmanship of this thing are worth 100 taels of silver." The big man didn't even get up, really " Sit down and ask for a price."

Xiao Xueqiong picked up a piece of debris and was carrying most of the signature. After a few glances, thousands of wild horses roared past in her heart.

"In this case, I will compensate you. My family is not far away, you go with me, and I will ask her to give you the money." Xiao Xueqiong knew that she was weaker than a chicken, so of course she did not dare to agree. They challenged them, they just wanted to see Li Yuerong as soon as possible, and with Sister Yuerong around, these crooked scoundrels only hated themselves for not being good-looking.

Unexpectedly, the big man was far from being as stupid as he looked. He sat on the ground and said, "I sprained my leg and can't walk."

Xiao Xueqiong frowned: "Then there's nothing I can do, I don't have that much money with me. Or, if you trust me, just wait here, and I'll come over after withdrawing the money."

The big man showed a strange smile: "If the girl ran away, who would I go to? I see that the girl is wearing gold and silver, so why don't you use the jewelry on your body to compensate me."

Heh, it seems that I am single and ready to attack, Xiao Xueqiong has already confirmed it.

"I'm afraid I don't have enough jewelry for 100 taels." Xiao Xueqiong said.

"It's okay, I need it urgently, so I don't care about these anymore. The girl unloaded all the bracelets, earrings and hairpins for me, so I don't care about it." Seeing Xiao Xueqiong's obedience, the strong man thought that today was really lucky, and met It looks like he's about to make a fortune with such a thoughtless fat sheep.

Xiao Xueqiong was a little hesitant, which one of the accessories on her body was not carefully selected by Li Yuerong, so it is naturally not priceless, but it is definitely not just a mere hundred taels.Even if it was less than a hundred taels, it would be aggrieved to be blackmailed by them like this.But after all, money is something outside of one's body, and a hero will not suffer from immediate losses, so he must not lose his life because of it...

Seeing Xiao Xueqiong's delay in moving, the man who was the envoy of justice showed a fierce look in his eyes. He strode forward and reached out to copy Xiao Xueqiong's hair.

Xiao Xueqiong was startled, and instinctively leaned back, trying to avoid the attack.

"Ah!" The man suddenly screamed, and took a few steps back with his arms folded, beating his chest and stamping his feet.Xiao Xueqiong was overjoyed, could it be that Sister Yuerong came looking for me?Looking back, he saw that the crowd gave way, and Lu Weishuang walked over on his horse.
