Princess of the Past and Present

It was a bit noisy outside the camp, and the soldiers were used to celebrating the New Year outside. A dozen or so gathered around a bonfire, drinking and eating meat, which was considered to be celebrating the New Year.

A soldier outside the camp said: "Your Highness!"

Mu Jin never allowed other people to enter the main tent, fearing that Mo Shuang's identity would be exposed, he had no choice but to get up and go out.Lieutenant General Ye Zhun was waiting outside the tent, and Mu Jin looked at him with his hands behind his back, "What's the matter?"

Ye Zhun said: "Tonight, the old and the new are welcome. If Your Highness doesn't mind, come and drink with the brothers to celebrate."

Mo Shuang couldn't show up, and Mu Jin didn't plan to go, "I have something to do in the palace, so I won't go, you just wait for the celebration."

Ye Zhun smiled, "In that case, the last general will not disturb His Highness."

Mu Jin turned and went back to the tent, Mo Shuang put down the book in his hand, looked at him and said, "You are not familiar with the soldiers, so drinking with them is just to enhance your relationship."

"We spend a lot of time dealing with them on weekdays, so don't fight for this moment."

At this time, another voice sounded outside the tent, "His Royal Highness."

Mu Jin recognized Dong Ling's voice and said, "Come in."

With the tray in both hands, Dong Ling stepped back and broke through the curtain with his back.Dong Ling said: "Today is New Year's Eve, folk custom is to eat dumplings, I have made two bowls of dumplings, Your Highness, son, come over and eat some."

Mu Jin and Mo Shuang looked at each other and smiled.The two went to sit down, Dong Ling put two bowls of dumplings on the table, pointed to a bowl and said: "This bowl is leek dumplings, it's for you son, this bowl is leek meat dumplings, it's for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Jin scooped up a dumpling with a soup spoon and took a bite. It was different from the dumplings eaten in the palace, this one had more homely taste.

"Your Highness, do you still like these dumplings?" Dong Ling asked while holding the tray, fearing that the pampered Prince could not get used to the leek meat dumplings eaten by ordinary people.

Mu Jin smiled, "It tastes good, I finally didn't leave you in vain."

Dong Ling giggled, "That's good."

Mo Shuang scooped a few dumplings from her bowl into Mu Jin's bowl, "Eat more if it tastes good."

Mu Jin said softly: "I have these, and you can eat them yourself."

Dong Ling said: "Yes, young master, there is still some in the pot. If His Highness doesn't have enough, I'll fill it up for him. Those without meat are for you to eat."

Mu Jin took another bite of the leek dumpling scooped up by Mo Shuang. There was no oil or water at all, and the dumpling skin was tasteless, which was far worse than the one with meat.

Mu Jin looked at Mo Shuang eating leek dumplings without changing his face, feeling inexplicably distressed, since he was a child, he only ate plain meals, and he rarely tasted meat, so he was really wronged.

On New Year's Eve, one bowl of dumplings per person, and that's it.

It was already the fourteenth day of the first lunar month when we arrived at Licheng on the border.

Licheng is located in the south, and you can still see green trees on the roadside. When passing by the villages in the countryside, you can occasionally see bougainvillea protruding from someone's yard, a cluster of fiery red, delicate and charming.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses marched mightily on the spacious streets, but there were very few people walking on the roads. The people in the city fled to other places because of the war.

The one who greeted Mu Jin was General Chen Sizhu who was sent to garrison three years ago.Mu Jin is no stranger to this person, and Chen Sizhu is a disciple of Shang Shuling Yuan Gang, whether in the court or in Yuan's residence, he has met many times, but he has not had the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation.

Chen Sizhu stationed his camp outside Licheng in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city.In recent days, just in time for the Spring Festival, the two armies have temporarily ceased fighting, and the enemy army is not unusual.

After the calm, there must be a big storm. After the Spring Festival, the two armies will inevitably have a fierce battle.

Although Licheng is sparsely populated, Fancheng, not far from Licheng, is a bustling scene.Most of the people in Licheng moved here, and it is convenient to move back after the war is over.

With the residents of Licheng moving in, this small southern town became more prosperous, in stark contrast to the sparsely populated neighboring cities.

On this Lantern Festival, folks have the custom of eating glutinous rice balls, admiring lanterns, and guessing lantern riddles.At night, the streets on both sides of the Chuancheng River are extremely lively.

A row of lanterns are set up on both sides of the river, colorful like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and the light of thousands of lanterns illuminates the streets on both sides of the river as if it were daytime.

There is a stone bridge across the Chuancheng River at a short distance, and colorful lights are hung on the curved arch bridge. From a distance, the Chuancheng River looks like a fire dragon inhabiting here.

Mu Jin heard Chen Sizhu talk about the Lantern Festival in Fancheng today, so he took Mo Shuang to this bustling place to see, as a relief from the fatigue of many days of traveling.

The two walked along the bustling river bank in casual clothes, Mu Jin in purple and Mo Shuang in white, followed by Dong Ling and two guards.Dong Ling and the two guards were also very close friends. When they were in the Prince's Mansion, they met quite a lot, and occasionally had a conversation, so they had some friendship.

In order not to disturb the two, the three followed far behind.

There are people coming and going on the street, there are families traveling, there are also young couples accompanying each other, there are also some Xiaojiabiyu and ladies traveling together, and groups of romantic men, scholars and scholars.

The smell of fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, and various pastries and pancakes floats along the street. There are also those selling lanterns, clay figurines, and jewelry.

Mu Jin held the hands under Mo Shuang's sleeves, and the wide sleeves covered the intertwined hands. The two got so close that no one who passed by noticed.Walking under the lantern, the shadow on the ground became longer and then shorter. Mu Jin pointed to the bridge not far ahead, "Let's go up and have a look."

"Ah."

Walking on the stone bridge, overlooking the colorful lights on both sides of the river bank, it is overwhelming.On the bank of the river, someone set off fireworks. With a bang, the fireworks flew up to Mokong, and with another bang, a little bit of starlight that rushed up to Mokong exploded, turning into dots of colorful sparks.

Some young ones, with strong curiosity, looked at the fiery fireworks on the ground, jumped and shouted, and laughed very happily.

Mo Shuang raised her head slightly, looking at the fleeting fireworks in the sky, unconsciously she was fascinated.This was his first time watching fireworks so closely.

Mu Jin has seen a lot of fireworks and fireworks. Every time there is a Chinese New Year or a festival in the palace, there are palace people setting off fireworks.When I was young, I would look at it a few more times, but when I got older, I lost interest.

Now standing on this stone bridge with Mo Shuang, looking at the five-color sparks in the ink sky, I am in an indescribably good mood, looking at Mo Shuang's side face that is reddened by the lantern, I can't help leaning over to gently kiss his side face Drop a kiss.

This is in public!Mo Shuang came back to her senses in surprise, turned her head, and met Mu Jin's smiling face.

Smiling him so happily, she didn't blame him regardless of the occasion, and raised her head to continue watching the fireworks constantly blooming in the sky.

Dong Ling and the two guards watched from a distance.Dong Ling coughed dryly, and said to one of the guards: "Let me tell you, why does your Highness always take advantage of my young master?"

The guard who was with her held the sword and smiled, "Of course it's because His Highness likes your young master."

Under the stone bridge, a painted boat rowed over, and there were three women standing on the painted boat, who looked like their daughters in clothes.The three women were looking at the two men on the bridge, whispering to each other without knowing what to say, looked over with ambiguous eyes, and then a little blush appeared on their faces.

Seeing several women under the bridge, Mu Jin held Mo Shuang's hand tightly, "There are better ones ahead."

Mo Shuang was led off the bridge. Seeing that they were leaving, the three women on the boat couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. They watched them get off the bridge reluctantly, caught a glimpse of their holding hands, and looked at each other. Only then did they understand what was going on. .

After getting off the stone bridge and walking for a while, a shop built against the river is connected on both sides. When you enter the shop, you can still watch the river sparkling on the other side.

Standing at the door of the shop, the waiter was wearing a white cloth towel on his shoulders, and shouted in front of the shop: "A bowl of Lantern Festival is five Wen, the stuffing is big and the skin is thin, and it only costs five Wen a bowl! Please sit inside!"

Mu Jin and Mo Shuang walked in. When they were at the door, Mo Shuang withdrew the hand held by Mu Jin, and the two sat in the innermost position by the river.

Dong Ling and two guards also entered the shop and took a seat near the door.Not long after, Xiao Er served two bowls of Lantern Festival, "Guest officer, please use it slowly."

While eating the warm Lantern Festival, while looking at the lanterns on the river bank, it is very pleasant.There are all kinds of small lanterns floating slowly over the river. Mu Jin looked at the lanterns floating on the river, and there seemed to be words written on them.But it's too far away to see clearly.

At the next table was a young man and woman, the woman said: "Qi Lang, look how beautiful the lanterns on the river are!"

The man said: "If you like it, I will buy a few back later."

"This lantern can't be taken home." The woman looked at her lover, "When you buy a lantern, you must immediately write your name and the name of the person you like on the lantern, light the candle, and put it on the river to float away with the water. , the farther you drift, the longer the two people will be together. Wait a minute, let's try it too."

"Okay, okay, go as you say."

Mu Jin listened to the conversation between the two behind him, and then looked at Mo Shuang, who was calm on the opposite side, and had a thought.

After leaving the shop, Mu Jin has been keeping an eye on the stalls selling lanterns.There are still lanterns floating on the river, which means that the seller of lanterns is just upstream.

When he found a stall selling lanterns, Mu Jin pulled Moshuang over like a bee, and picked them up at the stall with great interest.Mo Shuang said softly, "Why are you still acting like a child?"

"It's not too bad." Mu Jin held two lanterns in his hand and shook them in front of Mo Shuang, "Look, which of these two is better?"

Mo Shuang looked at it, pointed to the lotus shape and said, "This."

Mu Jin smiled, and said to himself: "Moshuang is like a lotus, it emerges from the mud without being stained, this is what I want."

Mo Shuang looked at him smiling like a child, a faint smile floated on his lips.Mu Jin asked the stall owner for a pen and ink, wrote the names of Mu Jin and Mo Shuang on the lantern, and lit the candles on it.
