I'm not really the protagonist? [Transmigration Book]

Xia Qijingzhao's situation has been settled, and most of the affairs in the palace are handed over to Xia Houlan.

The Queen Mother was still a little restless, but Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty killed Zuo Zongqi without even interrogating her. Instigate the assassination, this plan is not wrong no matter how you look at it, after all, Zuo Zongqi has no reason to do that, and after the emperor's accident is the most beneficial to the current crown prince, she regards the concubine De As a threat, Zuo Zongqi was forced to agree, but he didn't expect the emperor to execute him without any curiosity.

She spread out on the ground, looking at the imperial decree that Chang An came to read out, speechless.

Xiahou Lingyuan, in the name of the Empress Dowager praying for the new emperor and Xia Qi, will send her to Hanshui Temple soon, no, she doesn't want to go, she doesn't want to go back to that lonely and cold place, she yelled that she wanted to see her Regent, in the end Xiahou Lingyuan didn't go, it was Xiahoulan who went.

Xia Houlan is now also crowned king, named King Qing, and the special permission still lives in the palace.

"If the empress dowager has something to say, please tell the king." Xia Houlan said.

The queen mother refused, and still clamored to see Xiahou Lingyuan, saying that she had something important to tell.

Xia Houlan sneered, "Is what you want to tell Brother Wang about the assassination of the emperor, saying that Zuo Zongqi was ordered by me?" Looking at the shocked face of the queen mother, he continued: "You want to use this news as a bargaining chip for Aren't you going to Hanshui Temple?"

The queen mother took a step back, not daring to say anything: "You... how do you know?"

Xia Houlan said: "Not only the king knows your plan, but the emperor also knows about it. The emperor only asks about Zuo Zongqi, because he already knows the whole story of Zuo Zongqi."

On that day, the father passed out again, because the note handed over by Fang Tingzhi, Minister of Dali Temple, said this.

Xia Houlan wanted to see what other plans she had, but now he looked desperate, and he left after speaking, but was stopped by the queen mother, who begged faintly: "I don't want to go there, please help me, I will help you." You, help you take that position."

Xia Houlan frowned, and looked at the old woman in front of him, with a face full of power and interest, he said lightly: "Han Shui Temple is the best place for you, if you want to stay in the capital, you can, but the result is not yours." I can bear it, after all, the first emperor passed away for so long, you should also miss him a little."

After finishing speaking, he flung his sleeves and left, leaving the queen mother with a pale face behind.

The Empress Dowager left for Hanshui Temple on the third day. When she went, more than half of the people in the capital went to see him off. They sincerely thanked the Empress Dowager for praying for Xia Qi.

After dealing with the Empress Dowager, Xia Houlan went straight to the Xianwang Mansion after meeting the Queen. In a room in the backyard of the Xianwang Mansion, there was the faint sound of children reading, and finally finished reading a five-character quatrain poem after stumbling.

Xia Houlan stood outside and looked through the window at the pink and jade-carved little doll shaking his head and reading. He was so cute that his heart softened when he saw people. He didn't go in until he heard the poem. He ran over happily, shouted brother, and hugged his leg.

Xia Houlan picked him up, nodded to Xiahou Xiuyi, and then walked to the chair and sat down.

Xiahou Xiuyi said: "Today's studies are over, half an hour later, King Qing will take Yuanyuan to the nearby Martial Palace."

Xia Houlan put Yuanyuan on the table next to her, stood up and saluted respectfully, and then said, "Brother Huang, call me A Lan or Brother Huang, it's fine. The name Qing Wang is too alienated."

Xia Houxiuyi and Xia Houlan rarely met each other, and it was only when Yuanyuan was in his house that he worked harder, so there was a little overlap. However, since he was chosen by the seventh brother, he can believe it if he thinks about it He smiled, the cold breath on his body faded a little, nodded and said: "In that case, I will call you the eleventh brother."

Xia Houlan also nodded with a smile, "Okay, and I'm afraid I'm going to bother the emperor's brother and wife tonight."

Xiahou Xiuyi knew what he meant, today is the Lantern Festival in Shangyuan, and tonight the city will be extremely lively with colorful lanterns, so he and Yuanyuan obviously don't plan to go back to the palace tonight, they want to go out to play.

"It's okay," Xiahou Xiuyi said with a smile, "Since we're going out tonight for fun, let's save an hour for martial arts later, and save some energy."

When Yuanyuan heard Youwan, she cheered happily, jumped off the chair, and threw herself into Xiahou Xiuyi's arms, "Thank you second brother, Yuanyuan likes second brother."

Xia Houlan raised his eyebrows secretly when he heard the words, and after Xiahou Xiuyi left, he asked: "Yuanyuan likes the second brother, so do you like me?"

"I like it!" Yuanyuan replied without hesitation.

"Which one do you like best?"

"Mother's queen," Yuanyuan said with affirmation, "Yuanyuan likes her mother's queen the most."

Xia Houlan: "..."

This side is planning to go to the lantern festival at night, and the two people in Xianshuo's mansion are also discussing this matter.

Su Jiabao prepared the clothes to wear tonight, and lay down on the newly moved soft bed in the study, waiting excitedly for the night to fall, and also waiting for the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion.Xiahou Lingyuan sat next to him with a book. He didn't read much in the book, so he simply put it down and helped someone massage his waist and shoulders.

"Here, here, a little to the left." Xiahou Lingyuan followed his words, moved his hands a little to the left, pressed and pressed, and his whole body also went limp, enveloping the person in his arms and sticking it to the person's ear Bian asked softly: "Do you want to sleep again? There are still two hours before the lantern festival."

Susu lay in his arms, playing with the other's long hair in her hand, shaking her head and said: "Don't sleep, I'll wait for someone, maybe I'll make a fortune tonight." laugh.

Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door, saying that the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion had arrived.Xiahou Lingyuan got up and sat back on the chair next to him, and let the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion come in.

The shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion came in with an exquisite lantern in his hand. He was so happy that his eyes were narrowed. He stepped forward and said, "Young master, this lantern is finished!"

Su Jiabao also became excited, and just about to run a few steps to get the lantern when he got off the couch, he suddenly jumped up, and then sat back on the couch.

"Barefoot, what should I do if I catch a cold?" Xiahou Lingyuan said indifferently. After taking a look at the person, he pulled the quilt on the soft couch to cover him, and then looked at the person and added in a low voice: "Waist Not sour anymore?"

"You..." Su Jiabao's face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before sorting out the topic: "The floor is covered with woolen mats, so your feet won't freeze!"

The shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion was a senior with a lot of experience, and he was also a fine individual. Knowing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit delicate, he couldn't intervene, so he quietly put down the lantern and took two big steps back.

Xiahou Lingyuan handed the lantern to Su Jiabao. Su Jiabao looked around, nodded in satisfaction, and said to the shopkeeper, "Light it up, light it up, let me see."

The shopkeeper nodded, but didn't come forward, Su Jiabao asked suspiciously: "Why are you so far away?"

The shopkeeper coughed lowly, pointed to the stove not far from Su Jiabao without blushing and panting, and said, "It's a bit hot in the room, it's uncomfortable to be near the stove."

Su Jiabao, who felt just right under the quilt: "..."

Xiahou Lingyuan handed the lantern to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper took it with respectful hands, then took out a fire pocket from his pocket, and lit it under the lantern.

The flame gradually rose, and the lantern floated vaguely. When the flame was completely burned, the lantern had already floated to the height of a person, and it would not be much higher if it flew again. Then the shopkeeper took the lantern and pressed a small protrusion below it , and then turned slightly, the flame went out, and the lantern fell into his hand.

"Not bad, not bad," Su Jiabao clapped his hands, very happy, and then asked: "Is the shop in Wanbao Pavilion ready?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Everything has been packed."

"Okay, tonight's lantern festival, I want Wanbaoge's lantern to become Kao."

The shopkeeper was very confident about this, and immediately gave a guarantee, saying that if he could not get Kao, he would not want his salary for a year, so he said goodbye and left.

Xiahou Lingyuan was also a little curious about the flying lantern. Su Jiabao smiled triumphantly, pulled someone to sit beside him, and then explained to him the general principle of the Kongming lantern. In fact, this lantern is the principle of the Kongming lantern used.

"It's from your world again?" Xiahou Lingyuan said, "Susu's world is really amazing."

Su Jiabao nodded: "Of course, our country of Hua must be powerful. Moreover, this Kongming lantern was invented by the ancients. It was originally used to transmit military signals. My era has changed. Everyone is peaceful and friendly, and lives in harmony, so it has changed. It has become a lamp that can make wishes, and put people's wishes in the sky for the gods to hear, so it is also called a wishing lamp." His face was full of mystery, and he raised his eyebrows: "I will take you to see a very shocking event tonight. Lantern Festival."

Xiahou Lingyuan nodded, expressing his expectation.

At night, Su Jiabao put on his clothes to keep out the cold and pulled Xiahou Lingyuan out of the mansion, and went straight to the night market. It was near the end of the new year, and the festive and lively atmosphere was very strong. The market in the capital was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there were huge crowds of people, and there were lanterns one by one The night sky tonight is reflected three points brighter than in the past.

Su Jiabao held Xiahou Lingyuan's hand and squeezed forward in the crowd. The colorful lanterns were one after the other, one after another, one by one, dazzling and dazzling, complementing each other. Year.

Su Jiabao held each other's hand tightly, fearing that the two would get separated, Xiahou Lingyuan held him with one hand, and stood beside him with the other, separating the crowded crowd.

The two wandered around, looked over there, and then stopped in front of a lantern.

The shape of the lantern in front of me is not so unique, it is a small pavilion, but there are two words "corner" written on the plaque on the pavilion, Su Jiabao suddenly thought that the first official meeting between him and his brother was in the corner tea room he opened in Qingzhou Si Li.

This lantern is exquisite in workmanship, the door can be opened and closed, and it is lifelike, Su Jiabao said with a smile; "This lamp is good, I like it." He turned his head to look at Xiahou Lingyuan: "Brother, I want this."

The bright lanterns reflected in his eyes, making his eyes seem to be filled with stars in the night sky, emitting a little bit of starlight. At this moment, it attracted all of his mind.

He raised his eyes to look at the lantern, and when he saw the word "corner", he also thought of going with Su Jiabao. It was at the corner tea shop in Qingzhou that he really got to know this person in front of him.

that's nice!

Reaching out to take the lantern, Xiahou Lingyuan froze suddenly when he touched his waist with the other hand and wanted to take out the money. It seemed that he... didn't... bring any money.

Seeing him stunned, Su Jiabao immediately reacted, children from rich families, princes and nobles usually don't carry money when they go out on the street, coincidentally, he belongs to the former rich family's children, and his brother belongs to the latter princes and nobles.

The two looked at each other, and laughed together for a while. The lantern seller saw that the two were dressed in dignified clothes and did not look like those rascals, so he directly stuffed the lantern into Su Jiabao's hands, saying that the money can be paid later, anyway, this place He has been setting up a stall all the time, no worries about not being able to find him.

After the two thanked each other and continued to stroll around with lanterns, they happened to see a mask seller at a nearby stall. Su Jiabao picked one up and put it on his face. The mask was in the shape of a two-faced Buddha, with tassels adorned with eight treasures on the temples. The workmanship is also exquisite and unique.

The stall owner saw that the two were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and thought it was the elder brother of a rich family who brought his younger brother out to play. He stepped forward and joked, "Do you two like it? The Shangyuan Lantern Festival is held every year. If you like it, you must buy one and send it home. Give your sweetheart a good fortune for the coming year on the tail of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new."

Su Jiabao's eyes lit up, and he directly took a face wearing Xiahou Lingyuan from the stall. He had no money on him, so Su Jiabao tore off a jade pendant and handed it to the stall owner, saying, "I like your mask, but The two of us forgot to bring any silver when we went out, so let this jade pendant be yours as collateral, and someone will come and give you the silver tomorrow." After speaking, he turned around and left.

The stall owner recognized the high-quality quality of this jade pendant at a glance, hurriedly shouted to stop the person, then held it in both hands and sent it back, saying that there is no need for collateral, he believed in the two, Su Jiabao refused to accept it, and the stall owner looked bitter. , said: "Young master, this jade pendant of yours is worth thousands of gold, you said let me go, there are so many people, if you meet a thief, or if I accidentally lose it, it will take my life and I will die." I can't afford it."

To put it bluntly, Su Jiabao finally took back the jade pendant, but he was still a little reluctant. After all, it was only considered to be bought if it was given silver. Now that the credit is paid, it seems that the grade of the mask given to the sweetheart has been lowered a lot. Can you ask for a lottery for the coming year?

Xiahou Linyuan knew that the money for the lanterns just now had been paid by Baitang not far away, but he didn't intend to compete with Susu for the mask.

The two wore masks, held hands, and continued to walk forward. The surroundings were bustling, and everyone who admired the lanterns had smiles on their faces. , there is no feeling that Xia Qi has just changed to a new emperor.

Stable affairs, beautiful scenery on a good day, and the company of his sweetheart, Xiahou Lingyuan felt an indescribable satisfaction and joy in his heart, a clear smile bloomed on his face hidden under the mask, and he held the person's hand tightly.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone crowded and rushed forward, and then turned into another street. Xiahou Lingyuan frowned slightly, and pulled him into his arms to protect him.

Su Jiabao's eyes lit up, knowing why everyone was so excited, he shook his hand and said to Xiahou Lingyuan, "Follow me."

Xiahou Lingyuan looked at the street where the crowd turned, and wanted to understand why, nine out of ten it was because of the magical lantern in Wanbao Pavilion on that street.

Su Jiabao led the people directly into the back door of Wanbao Pavilion, and then went up to the fourth floor.

The ignited and flying lanterns in Wanbao Pavilion downstairs really caused a lot of discussion. In an instant, the expensive lanterns were swept away. The lanterns are unique in shape and exquisite in workmanship. They are well versed in the principles of hunger marketing. Su Jiabao Let Wanbaoge only make a hundred.

And each lantern has a year mark, and it will never be produced again. If you want it, you can only wait for next year's Lantern Festival, but next year's lantern will be different, and it will also have next year's year mark. Therefore, every lantern every year can be regarded as out of print, and maybe it will become a collectible in the future.

There was a commotion downstairs, and a crisp bell rang like a signal. Su Jiabao walked up to Xiahou Linyuan, covered his eyes with his feet, and said in a voice full of smiles, "Brother, You close your eyes first, I will let you open them later, and then open them again."

Xiahou Lingyuan's heart was beating a little faster, he bent down slightly, so that people would no longer put their feet on the ground, after a while, he heard the exclamation from the crowd downstairs, the sound became louder and louder, his heart It also jumped faster and faster, but the hands on the eyes hadn't moved away, and he continued to wait.

About half a quarter of an hour later, a hot breath came to my ears, "Okay, you can open your eyes."

He opened his eyes, and countless Kongming lanterns slowly rose in front of his eyes. The night was cold, dark and dark, and the buildings and buildings were surrounded by small warm yellow light spots. The stars fell into the world, illuminating the entire night sky.

A lamp floated in front of him, the wick twirled, and in the sandalwood-colored warm halo, Su Jiabao hugged him, shyly wanting to fully express the love in his heart, "Brother, I like——"

"Susu," Xiahou Lingyuan pressed her into his arms, and said first: "I love you, I love you very much, you don't want to escape in this life, since you gave me thousands of wishing lamps, then I will Make a thousand wishes."

"I hope you will be by my side for the rest of my life." Xiahou Lingyuan said in a low voice, "There are thousands of wishes for this, and you must help me realize them."

He never thought before that he would love someone so far. Now, as long as the person in his arms says a word, there will be mountains of swords and fires in front of him, and an abyss. .

Su Jiabao buried his head on his chest, his eyes trembled slightly, the past few years flashed through his mind one by one like a revolving lantern, his eyes gradually became cloudy, he nodded: "Okay, let's realize this wish together."

Thousands of star lights floated behind him to the endless night sky. Xiahou Lingyuan looked at his trembling star eyes, couldn't help but leaned down, lifted his chin, and kissed him.

The lips were warm and soft, and the nostrils were hot and long. After the kiss, the breath of the two of them was a little disordered. The cold wind in December seemed to have a hint of sweetness and ambiguity. The distance between them, the tip of their noses lowered, their eyes looked into each other's eyes, and then they were trapped by that deep affection, and they could never escape in this life.

The ten-mile long street, the endless starry sky, the ten thousand bright lights, the prosperity and prosperity, all the people in the capital are the witnesses of their vows, and they will meet with the king, and they will never be separated forever.
