Nian Chunbai was lying on the bedside boredly, pawing at his lacquer box of pastries, and from time to time he picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Tu Xi's lips.

Tu Xi didn't like to eat these, but he just ate two pieces because he saw the little girl was happy to be fed.But later, it was discovered that the feeding speed of the little girl had slowed down a lot. Tu Xi, who had been concentrating on reading, looked away and looked at the little girl lying on the kang.Seeing that she was pulling out two pieces of lotus seed cake and putting them into his mouth, he couldn't help smiling.

"Near."

Nianchun raised her head, met Tu Xi's gentle gaze, and her face burned slightly.

"Third Brother eats lotus seed cake!" The little girl hurriedly sat up, held the lacquer box and held up the snack in her hand, and handed it to Tu Xi's mouth.

Tu Xi bites away the dim sum, then looks down at Nian Chun: "Nian Nian wants to go out to play?"

Nianchun pouted and said, "I want to accompany third brother." The little girl has been looking forward to the Lantern Festival for not a day or two, but because it is inconvenient for Tuxi to go out at this time, she doesn't want to leave Tuxi alone It's not good to be at home.

"Second brother is too bad!"

After thinking about it, the little girl was a little annoyed, "He himself said he would stay at home and not watch the lanterns, but when he heard that Sister Lin was going at night, he forgot what he said!" Pursing her lips, a pair of big peach blossom eyes slowly filled with tears.

Seeing that his heart ached so much, Tu Xi hurriedly threw the book away, stretched out his hand and hugged the little girl into his arms and coaxed gently: "Nian Nian don't cry, third brother will take you out to look at the lights later, okay?"

Nianchun choked and shook his head, "Third brother can't go out."

Although she is young, she also knows that Tu Xi is not allowed to go out at this time.If he could appear in front of everyone in an upright manner, he wouldn't climb the wall to find her.It's not like he won't even go back to the Prince's Mansion, or even go to the palace.

During the Lantern Festival, there are family banquets in the palace.

Emperor Huiren originally asked someone to pick Nianchun to the palace, but Jia She declined on the pretext of reunion at home.Even the dinner was served in the house with Tu Xi, now the son thought about Jia Lian leaving him and went to play alone, and felt more and more aggrieved.

Tu Xi hugged Nian Chun in his arms, and coaxed the little girl softly, coaxing the little girl back her tears. After feeding her two pieces of snacks, seeing the sky outside the window was getting dark, she hugged the little girl down He got out of the kang, took a crane cloak and tied it on for Nianchun. "Nian Nian, let's go, let's go see the lanterns too."

The two wore crow-blue cloaks and quietly went out through the back door.Along the way, the two of them held hands tightly, and the streets were full of people, shoulder to shoulder. Tu Xi, fearing that Nian Chun would be scattered, held the little girl in his arms, and the two walked slowly. .

"Third brother, is that second brother?"

Nian Chun stood on tiptoe and looked at the few people not far ahead through the crowd.

Tu Xi took Nian Chun's little hand, slowly pushed through the crowd and approached Jia Lian and his party.Faintly heard Jia Lian's smiling voice saying: "Cousin, I think this lotus lantern is very delicate."

Lin Daiyu wore a fence on her head, and through the light veil, her voice was soft and soft, and Nianchun's ears were pricked up, but she couldn't hear her.It just seemed that my second elder brother seemed a little disappointed on his face, and the lotus lantern he held in his hand was put back again.

Nianchun approached slowly, reached out and tugged at Jia Lian's sleeve.

As soon as Jia Lian turned around, he saw a little tail behind him.The soft and waxy voice came from under the hood, the familiar one couldn't be more familiar! "Second brother!"

"Why are you here!"

Jia Lian was startled, looked around and saw that there was no one else following Nianchun, she was very anxious.He lifted the little girl up by his arm with one hand, and stretched out his hand to lift off the little girl's veiled cap to take a closer look at her expression. "Why are you here? Did you meet any bad guys on the road? Who brought you here, where?"

He kept asking questions, and Nianchun was overwhelmed.Being blown by the cold wind again, the tip of his nose felt cool, and he hastily put down the veiled cap, covering his fair little face again.

"Hush, third brother sent me here." Nian Chun leaned on Jia Lian's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

She didn't know when she let go of Tu Xi's hand, but she knew that the third brother must have sent her to the second brother's side in peace before leaving.Moreover, it was inconvenient for the third brother to show up, so he left quietly.Now that she can't look for him, the third brother might have gone home already!

Jia Lian let out an "ah" and quickly lowered her voice, grinding her back molars and said viciously, "Go home and see how I deal with you."

The two brothers and sisters were whispering, it might as well be that Lin Daiyu turned her head from in front of a lantern, looked at Jia Lian, slightly surprised, and said, "Second Cousin Lian, you..."

"Sister Lin!"

Nianchun flipped her veiled hat with both hands, revealing a round, fair face.

Lin Daiyu blinked, met the little girl's watery eyes, and smiled suddenly. "Okay, I haven't seen anyone in the afternoon, so my son will come now?" Lin Daiyu only thought it was because the little girl took too long to rest in the afternoon, so she came to see the lanterns at this time.After all, this was a lie Jia Lian told early in the morning. Lin Daiyu believed him without doubting him.

Nianchun tilted her head in doubt, but Jia Lian had already pulled off her veiled hat one step ahead of her, muttering: "It's so cold outside, put on your hat soon, Second Brother holds you to watch the lanterns !"

The little girl didn't wear a fence when she went out. Although she was still young and didn't need to avoid it too much, Jia Lian couldn't bear the little girl's tender face to be blown by the cold wind until she covered her baby sister tightly. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cousin, shall we continue shopping?"

He was very good-looking, with a pair of long and narrow peach eyes under the shade of the orange light, becoming more and more tender and shining.Lin Daiyu only glanced at it, then quickly looked away.With a slightly red face, she nodded slightly, "Yeah".

Jia Lian was holding Nianchun in his arms, and the other arm was still vainly protecting Lin Daiyu's back, for fear that others would touch her.

Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly, deeply moved by Jia Lian's thoughtfulness.

"Second brother, that lantern is so beautiful!"

The little girl was fascinated by pointing at a lantern with a flying phoenix, and it wasn't just her. All the young girls on the street focused their eyes on the lantern.The lantern was made richly and richly, adorned with precious stones and pearls, making it even more dazzling when the light shines on it.Not to mention that Nianchun was dumbfounded, even Lin Daiyu stared intently for a long time.

Under the lantern was a young scholar in green shirt. Seeing Jia Lian and the other three stopped in front of his booth, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "If you can guess my crossword puzzle, I can give you this lantern."

His phoenix lanterns are so beautifully made, I don't know how many people came to his booth to try them, and they all came back disappointed.Jia Lian was a little apprehensive. If he had a fight, he might not lose to others.But...this kind of lantern riddle guessing, making the right pair...God will kill him!

Thinking that his sweetheart was also watching, Jia Lian didn't know where the courage came from, and also smiled at the scholar, "Please enlighten me, brother!"

He was born to be extremely handsome, and his facial features were no less beautiful than those painted girls.At this time, he smiled sassyly, and he has the charm of the forest, and because he is known as a martial arts practitioner, his gestures and gestures have a certain demeanor.A lot of whispers came from the surrounding crowd, and many little girls peeked at him through the fence, and even the scholar who set up the stall was in a trance for a moment.

"Brother?"

Seeing him in a daze, Jia Lian stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

The scholar woke up suddenly, his face turned red, he didn't know whether it was shame or embarrassment, he coughed twice before he opened his mouth and read: "The lamp has no flames and tears have no traces, the dark wind has a sound and there are roots."

Jia Lian murmured and read it again, his mind seemed to be crumpled into a ball of paste.

Lin Daiyu who was standing beside her pursed her lips and smiled slightly. She had already got the answer to the riddle.It can be seen that Jia Lian is racking his brains, she doesn't want to disturb his elegance.What's more, the Lantern Festival is just for fun, so why bother to get ahead in this kind of thing.

Nianchun didn't understand this lantern riddle either, so he blinked his big eyes and looked at Jia Lian. Seeing that he was confused and frowning, he knew he was unreliable, so he hurriedly went to see Lin Daiyu again.It's a pity that Lin Daiyu was wearing a fence, and Nianchun couldn't see Lin Daiyu's expression clearly through the light gauze, so she had to give up.

"Second brother, have you guessed it?"

The little girl looked at the high-hanging phoenix lantern, and at Jia Lian, who had a bitter and vengeful expression on her face, and felt that she had no chance with this lantern tonight.

Just standing there sadly, a chuckle came from behind him.

"Why don't you let me take a guess?"

He has a smile on his brows and eyes, he is elegant and graceful, and he is dressed in light fur, so he is naturally rich and graceful.The voices of the girls around were louder, everyone's face was as if drunk, flushed with drunkenness, and the eyes looking at King Zhongshun were brighter than those hanging lanterns.

Seeing Nianchun looking at him, King Zhongshun also bent his lips and smiled.

"Miss Jia Qi."

Nianchun blinked, she and King Zhongshun have met each other several times, but every time King Zhongshun smiled gently, but seemed a little alienated.She doesn't have much friendship with him, unlike Tujiao and the others, she plays better.

King Zhongshun didn't care when he saw that the little girl didn't respond to him.

He glanced sideways at Jia Lian, who was holding the little girl, and his eyes lit up slightly when he saw the young man's excessively beautiful appearance.

"Young Master Jia, do you have one?"

He was so gentle and polite that Jia Lian couldn't say anything.He could only smile sarcastically and say, "Then what...it's really not what I'm good at."

King Zhongshun laughed, lifted a brush from the chopping board, wrote a few words like flowing water, matched a poem, and finally handed the paper to the scholar.The scholar looked at the paper and his fingers trembled slightly, his expression seemed to be very excited.When he looked up again, his face was flushed red.

"Sir, you are so talented, this lantern is yours!"

As he spoke, he raised the bamboo pole, carefully hooked off the phoenix lantern and brought it to King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun looked down, lightly raised the corners of his lips, and said with a hoarse laugh, "Girls' favorite things, I'll give them to you." As he spoke, he brought the lantern to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was slightly taken aback, looking at Shang Zhongshun Wang's smiling phoenix eyes, he didn't know why he always felt something was wrong.But seeing that the other party was holding the lantern, he didn't seem to care about it.Jia Lian thought about it again, and that's right, the prince of the family can't get what he wants, and there are so many skilled craftsmen in his hand, just a lantern!

He also thought that this person is the prince, and he must have seen Nianchun many times.Probably the elders gave the lanterns to the younger ones.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian didn't refuse anymore, reached out to take the lantern, and thanked him with a smile.

King Zhongshun looked at the boy's stretched eyebrows, soft facial features, and the smile deepened in his pair of phoenix eyes.

"Young Master Jia, you don't have to be so polite."
