over ten thousand people

Two quarters later, Suzaku Avenue.

It's so easy to go out of the palace once, so it's natural to go shopping in the street.On the night of the New Year's Eve, the Yunchelongque, the Huoshufenglou, and so on are the grand sights of the imperial capital.I have never strolled in the Lantern Market, let alone——

There are people to accompany.

Thinking of this, I looked sideways at the people around me.Although I don't mind, Xie Jingyu is unwilling to walk side by side with me.I thought about it again, the probability of meeting one or two acquaintances today is quite high, so I let him go - after all, he finally did not disappoint the mention of Qianniuwei this time, he has made progress, gratifying to congratulate.However, the problem of him consciously entering the role of a guard as soon as he is by my side may not be able to change...

Another wave of people crowded in, Xie Jingyu hastily turned sideways to block it.He didn't notice my sight until they all passed by. "What are you looking at, master?"

I originally wanted to say not to compete with my personal bodyguard, but the words turned into: "Of course it's up to you."

"...Master!" Xie Jingyu was startled, and subconsciously looked to the side.

"Don't look." I raised my eyebrows at him.If I can't even control the mouth of my bodyguard, what kind of emperor will I be?

Xie Jingyu understood, but was still a little uneasy. "This is not good...there are too many people outside..."

My eyebrows went up even higher. "Now you stand under the brightest tree of lights. You don't need to say who you are, and people will come and watch. The scene is definitely more exaggerated than last time at the Qushui Bridge. Do you believe it?"

"Master..." Xie Jingyu was stunned for a moment, showing a hint of helplessness, "Of course what Master said is right. But I won't go."

"That's it?" I was very satisfied, "I just did what they should do for them."

Xie Jingyu definitely didn't expect that I could turn a corner and argue with arguments, he was helpless and a little embarrassed at the same time. "Master, you..."

I won't say it, I just like to see him like this. "Let's go," I sympathetically pointed to a direction with relatively few people, "Looks like you're guessing lantern riddles over there?"

Xie Jingyu followed and looked over. "It's true...do you want to go and have a look?"

Compared with a lot of booing around juggling, I think Xie Jingyu must be eager to guess lantern riddles. "It's no fun to guess alone." I deliberately disliked it.

"Then you want to..." Xie Jingyu blinked, as if feeling something.

"There is a time limit, who can guess more correctly than anyone else."

"...You compare with me?" Xie Jingyu still couldn't believe it.

I almost gave him a blank look. "Otherwise? Do you want to compare with the guards?"

There is no need for me to say the second sentence at all, several guards put their heads aside together, and expressed with practical actions, "I am just a wooden stake, thank you, go and compare with your majesty."

Seeing this, Xie Jingyu let out a long breath, as if letting go of some invisible restraint. "Master, this is what you want to compare with me."

He had never spoken to me in this tone before, and I was immediately amused. "What's the matter? You think you're smarter than my master now, don't you?"

"That's not how you say it." Xie Jingyu said, with a serious look, "There is a priority in learning, and there is a specialization in art. You must have heard these words before, so I don't need to waste my words."

I glanced at him with a half-smile.What he meant was that since I practiced emperor art since I was a child, I am definitely not as good as someone from a scholarly family like him.Isn't it similar to what I just said? "At this time, I have to borrow a word," Zhen draws his voice slowly, "There is no comparison, how do you know which is stronger and which is weaker?"

Xie Jingyu must remember that Zhou Bubi said this, because his eyes immediately darkened, and his reaction was exactly the same as that of Renri. "It seems that you really appreciate..."

He didn't go on, but I couldn't help but I wanted to anger him. "What do you say?"

Xie Jing's stupid eyes became deeper and deeper in an instant, like a vortex on the surface of calm water, or like a very hungry beast about to break out of its cage. "Then I—" he looked at me, and continued without hesitation: "I can only be respectful rather than obedient."

After saying this, Xie Jingyu walked to the lanterns with enigmas first.I stood where I was, recalling his expression just now.There is a premonition of danger, but it is also accompanied by inexplicable heart palpitations...

I suddenly really want to know what Xie Jingyu would have done if he wasn't on the street.

Let's talk about lantern riddles.Although I am not an expert at guessing riddles, at any rate, I can guess almost eight out of ten of the learning tasks assigned by the master.Not long after, I pulled out a bunch of riddles.Looking around again, I saw the fish lantern hanging high, but Xie Jingyu was gone.

"How long has it been?" I asked the guard next to me.

"Back to master, it's been almost a quarter of an hour." The guard also came back to his senses and looked around.

At this time, the night was very deep, but the streets and alleys were still very lively.The lights are like the day and the sun, and the brilliance is extremely bright, which complements the new full moon in the sky.Not far away, folk colorful girls are holding hands, sleeves connecting sleeves, singing and dancing, which is very eye-catching.Looking further away, there are so many people, it is impossible to tell who is who.

Where did he go after such a short time?

I can't help being a little anxious.Turning his head again, he saw someone standing in the sparse shadow of the lamp, with his head raised halfway, carefully looking at a plain lantern.Although his back is facing me, there is no doubt that it is Xie Jingyu.

In this situation, my heart suddenly moved.

Really, I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place.

"Dongfeng puts thousands of flowers and trees at night, more blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road. The sound of the phoenix flute, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night..."

"...what new rhyme is this? I've never heard it before?"

Hearing Xie Jingyu's voice from behind, I realized that I had already recited half of the poem that was supposed to come out hundreds of years later when I was in a trance. "It's nothing, just talking casually."

However, Xie Jingyu had disbelief written all over his face. "Could it be that you are also like archery in this matter?"

Hidden clumsiness like archery?This really doesn't exist!The well-written one is Xin Jiaxuan, not me!

It's really a dying rhythm... I wiped my sweat secretly. "Since you're back, let's review together and see who can guess more right."

This topic change can be described as blunt.Xie Jingyu took a deep look at me and didn't object.And I glanced at the thickness of the note in his hand, then pinched mine, feeling an unprecedented setback——

It is true that I guessed less than him, but even if I simply admit defeat this time, Xie Jingyu will think that I let him go, right?

In the following time, I have been reviewing myself, why things that would win a lot of prizes under normal circumstances have become so embarrassing to me.Sure enough, I still want to rot things like prophets in my stomach...

"...We are here, master."

"Huh?" When I came back to my senses, I realized that a group of people had followed the flow of people to a large wooden platform.There are colorful silks on the stage, there are actors in the four corners, and there is a circle of people in the middle.They seem to be discussing, because they are too far away to hear clearly.

"What is this doing?" I was momentarily at a loss.

Xie Jingyu gave me a slightly surprised look. "Shangyuan Poetry Contest."

My brain got bigger when I heard it.So Xie Jingyu was not angry, but mistakenly thought that I have a great research on poetry and poetry? "This..." I just wanted to say let's go, but then I thought about it, it might make it look like there is no silver 300 taels here; it's better to make a mistake and explain it slowly later.

Xie Jingyu's misunderstanding is exactly as I guessed.He leaned over and whispered in Zhen's ear: "I know that they are far behind His Majesty, but it's okay to chat to relieve boredom."

I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but I couldn't refute immediately. "Then just take a look."

At this time, the poetry meeting was in the middle of the process, and the finished poems were posted on the side one by one, so that everyone could judge publicly.Because there were guards, I squeezed in smoothly, and looked up at the first song——

"A hundred rounds of magic lamps and Buddha fires, engraved with figures and seven treasures..."

nagging...

I muttered something in my heart, and then watched the second song——

"Shangyuan Gao will gather a group of immortals, what do you want to pray for in the new year..."

What's more, they are all compared to the immortals!

I'm really impatient, and I'm about to lose the motivation to continue watching.Fortunately, the third song is okay——"Don't urge the jade to leak the silver pot, the iron gate and the golden lock are fully open. Who can sit idle when they see the moon, and don't look at the lights anywhere."

The first two poems are rich in rhetoric, but they are filled with some illusory things.This song is rare to catch the air...

"I also think this song is good." Because there were too many people around, Xie Jingyu leaned over and whispered again, "The first two sentences are the true portrayal of today."

I turned my head to look at his face, which was close at hand, and leaned closer to his ear. "Those who know me, thank you."

The effect of these words was immediate, Xie Jingyu's ears were immediately stained with a layer of crimson.I looked interesting, so I deliberately took another two breaths.Xie Jingyu reacted, and immediately hid back, with a look of disapproval.

I really want to say that I learned this from you, but after all, it's okay to do small things in private in public, and it's impossible to really do anything. "There are too many people, let's go out now..."

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Brother Xie."

Before I could finish my words, a clear voice suddenly interjected.It sounded familiar to me, but when I looked back——

Yong Meng did not know when he appeared, standing not far away, dressed in ordinary clothes, he stood out from the crowd, with a smile on his face.

"...His Royal Highness King Wei! He is His Royal Highness King Wei!"

"Then who is Brother Xie? Could it be Xiang Xie?"

The people on the edge immediately rioted.I immediately understood why Yongmeng was only called Xie Jingyu... If he blurted out "Ninth Brother", my insignificant clothes would become clearer!

It happened suddenly, Xie Jingyu looked at me, and then walked in front of me. "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

The crowd became more agitated.I can understand it very well, after all, Xie Jingyu alone will cause congestion, plus Yongmeng... the two major traffics of Xingjing City gather together, if you don't leave, you really can't get away!

"Shangyuan Festival, don't take one bite at a time." Yong Meng still looked amiable, "I was drinking upstairs just now, but I happened to see Brother Xie here. This is a rare opportunity, can I ask Brother Xie to show me your face? "

Although Yongmeng praised brother Xie, his eyes were on me.Xie Jingyu also turned his head and asked for my opinion with his eyes.

Now it's hard to get off.Before everyone noticed that their eyes were focused on me, I nodded very lightly, but I was cursing in my heart - I expected to meet one or two acquaintances, but how could this acquaintance be Yongmeng?

The author has something to say:

Yong Meng: Of course it is for the Shura field.
