Chapter 386 The Empress is Looking at the Fireworks in the Queen's Eyes

The Lantern Festival Poetry Festival is not supposed to be held in the middle of the night. After all, tonight is the Lantern Festival, a time for families to reunite, so many people are anxious to go back home to celebrate the festival.

Therefore, the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival did not end very late.

but

At today's Lantern Festival poetry gathering, a poem "Qingyu'an·Yuan Xi" made everyone at the gathering feel the romance of the Empress's poetry.

Afterwards, a song [The Road to Shu is Difficult] made everyone even more surprised and delighted.

I was so happy that I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise today. To see such a wonderful and unique poem, I really have no regrets today!

You can also see the elegance of Her Majesty the Queen [Exiled Immortal], that’s enough!

And surprised

Um! Very shocked!

As for the content of the poem, everyone was just suspicious and surprised for a moment and then it ended. They couldn't just stand up and say to the Queen, "Queen, are you threatening the King of Shu?" '

There is no such stupid person.

Even if there is, there is no such person at the Lantern Festival today, and such a stupid person cannot understand this poem.

but

The Lantern Festival Poetry Festival ended here.

Lantern Festival.

But it's not over yet.

All nine gates of Fengcheng were opened overnight, and the emperor's daughter and imperial concubine left the Han Palace.

Thousands of precious lotus chariots are wrapped in pearl foil, and tens of thousands of silver candles are hung in green gauze cages.

Tonight, Luoan City is crowded with people and brightly lit. Not to mention the usually bustling West Market and East Market, even the market towns where the residents live are ablaze with big red lanterns hanging.

The usually solemn and stern imperial city of Luoan is filled with the smell of fireworks tonight. There are countless vendors in the streets and alleys, and men and women holding lanterns are smiling happily.

Especially at the largest square in the West City, all the light trucks from various trades and professions gathered here. At this moment, all the light trucks have set their bodies on fire. Because of their layout and the color of the bodies themselves, combined with the red and yellow lights, they are even more gorgeous!

Especially the courtesans and beautiful men on the train who were either playing music or dancing, which gave a feast to the eyes of many people who seldom saw these people on weekdays.

Moreover, amidst the crisp sounds, every time the masters swing the iron flowers, countless people will exclaim in surprise. The moment the flame and molten iron blend in the air and bloom, sparks fly, light and shadow interweave, full of power and vitality, it is a visual feast!

On the big river that runs through Luoan City, small lights in the shape of lotus flowers and boats float on it. There are also some Kongming lanterns floating in the sky above Luoan City, dotted like stars. There are at least a hundred of them, and that is not all. Because most of the buildings in Luoan City are made of wood, the government stipulates that Kongming lanterns must be released at a place outside the west gate of the city when the time comes. At that time, the thousands of Kongming lanterns are so magnificent!

What surprised the common people the most was that this year the gates of the imperial city were not closed as in previous years. The entire imperial city was solemn and dignified, and there was not a single light on. Instead, there were many red and yellow lanterns hanging throughout the city.

Countless beautiful lanterns were floating in the air as if they were being pulled by something, like kites.

Many palace maids came in and out of Chengtian Gate freely, and many of them were curious and surprised. Many of them could be seen standing on the walls of the imperial city, looking at the bright and dazzling Luoan City with lights just turned on, with smiles on their faces.

Some brave citizens wanted to get closer to see what the imperial city inside Chengtian Gate looked like. The imperial guards stationed today turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything as long as they didn't get too close.

but

People walking on the streets discovered a strange phenomenon: that is, all the scholars, whether in restaurants, hotels, or study rooms, liked to look outside.

There are even some men and women who can be seen as a couple at first glance, who will deliberately let their female companions stand in a less crowded place, and then they will watch from a distance.

People who saw this scene found it strange, but when they saw that the person was a scholar, they didn't think much of it.

After all, the thoughts of these scholars are really hard to describe and very strange!

In the past few months, haven't there been people who jumped into the river, people who held jars of wine in the middle of the night and shouted "Don't you see?", and people who saw snow on the branches and shouted "The pear blossoms are blooming, the pear blossoms are blooming" like crazy?

Therefore, it is not surprising to see many scholars behaving strangely nowadays.

Moreover, today is the Lantern Festival, so health and happiness are the best things to do.

When Xia Tingyu left Mantanglou, he did not take a carriage, but left leisurely with Kun Ling and Lang Gou who had been waiting outside the door.

As for Lin Ruoyun, Tan Songyan and Zhai Zhiqiu, Lin Ruoyun and Xu Zuiyin left together, while the other two followed behind.

Xia Tingyu led the way but didn't say where they had to go. They just walked on the street. Tonight in Luoan City, it was very lively everywhere.

During these days in Luoan City, Kun Ling and Lang Gou often accompanied Xia Tingyu for strolls like this, so they were used to it.

However, Tan Songyan, Zhai Zhiqiu and Kun Ling were walking side by side, but they seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves several times.

But looking at Xia Tingyu, who looked leisurely, looking around and seemed to be in a good mood, everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything more.

When he saw the sign of East Market in the distance, Wolf Hook said, "Your Highness, Lord Shen said before that he was waiting for us in East Market."

Xia Tingyu nodded, then looked at the roadside stall selling glutinous rice balls, especially the words "sesame filling" and "peanut filling" written on the stall sign, and couldn't help but smile, then looked at Kun Ling and said the same thing: "How can he think of everything?"

Kun Ling naturally knew who this 'he' was referring to. He immediately glanced at Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan, but did not dare to speak.

Xia Tingyu just smiled and didn't say much.

Not long after they walked a little further, Lord Shen Yue waved at them from the second floor of a restaurant.

Going upstairs, there was a private room where only Shen Yue was.

Chen Yue looked at Xia Tingyu and said with a smile: "Your Highness, can you let me take a look?"

Xia Tingyu glanced at Kun Ling.

Kun Ling immediately took out the paper and handed it to Shen Yue with both hands.

After Xia Tingyu asked Tan Songyan and Zhai Zhiqiu to sit wherever they wanted, he sat on a chair and looked at Chen Yue and said, "I can't give you the original copy. It's stamped, and I have to keep it well, so uncle, just look at the copy I copied."

Chen Yue smiled, then looked down at the [Difficult Road to Shu] in his hand, his spirits shone, full of astonishment: "The words are profound, majestic and elegant. What a great literary talent. There are only a handful of people in the world who can write such a chapter, but if anyone wants to have this fairy spirit, it can only be the Queen."

After that, Shen Yue started watching it again, still praising it.

After finishing reading, Chen Yue looked at Xia Tingyu with a wry smile: "I used to think that Li Jiulang and Cui Yu were very talented, but then I saw that Pei Nanzhi was the best, and Xun Kuang was even more like a genius. Now I wonder how the Queen reads this book."

Xia Tingyu pouted. How would she know?

but

After Chen Yue folded the paper and placed it on the table, he still couldn't forget the witty and dramatic words in the poem. People from Shu could relate to it the most.

After Xia Tingyu ate a bite of the food on the table, he looked at Chen Yue and said, "Uncle, what do you think father will look like when he sees this?"

Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, then said: "About, he would smile, and then curse a few times, and that's it."

Xia Tingyu immediately said: "Father won't do that. He will probably look at me and say, 'Why can't you find a woman with such talent around you? Look at the little emperor!'"

When speaking, Xia Tingyu deliberately imitated the tone of the King of Shu and spoke in a deliberately deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue immediately laughed, and after thinking about it carefully, he immediately nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.

On the other hand, Tan Songyan and Zhai Zhiqiu lowered their heads and pretended not to hear the word "little emperor".

Seeing the two of them like this, Xia Tingyu didn't care. He just leaned back and looked at the noisy market outside, and even more at the lively scene in the East Market not far away: "Uncle, do you think the Queen did it on purpose?"

Hearing this, Shen Yue shook her head: “I wasn’t there, so I don’t know.”

Xia Tingyu smiled and looked at Tan Songyan and Zhai Zhiqiu: "What do you two think?"

Zhai Zhiqiu smiled and said, "My lord, Master Shen, I am just a commoner and I dare not make irresponsible comments."

Tan Songyan obviously wanted to say something, but after hearing Zhai Zhiqiu's words, he thought for a moment and lowered his head.

Xia Tingyu looked at Zhai Zhiqiu and praised him, "Well said."

After that, Xia Tingyu continued, "I think it was not intentional, or it was not intentional. It was just you scholars guessing. He wrote an article and used a few sentences to emphasize the importance of Shu. He was regarded as warning my father. I felt sorry for him."

At this point, Xia Tingyu sighed, "But it doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not. Anyway, it's already been sent out. No one can control what others think. Besides, if my father is really angry, then he is the one who is angry. Uncle, when are we going to leave? I want to stay as a hostage. I really want to be a hostage. Just thinking about the mountain road back home is a headache. The capital is so much better."

Chen Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard Xia Tingyu's last words: "Your Highness, the prince didn't say when he would return to Beijing, but Mr. Fang said that after the Lantern Festival, he would let me go back with you. And given the current situation, it's better to go back. I heard that Mr. Yao has also returned to Shu from Tubo."

Hearing

Xia Tingyu slumped in the chair, looking aggrieved, and twisted her body a few times, looking unhappy and aggrieved: "Don't bother me to get up, I! Don't want to get up!"

After that, Xia Tingyu looked at Chen Yue crying.

Chen Yue had a headache on her face and really didn't know what to say. This princess was extremely intelligent, but she occasionally had a bad temper, which was really a headache.

Moreover, this is all spoken in the Shu dialect!

As far as he knew, Xia Tingyu would only speak the Shu dialect when he was really unwilling to do something.

When Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan saw the princess like this, they inexplicably found her so adorable, but they didn't dare to look at her any longer and could only lower their heads.

Xia Tingyu sat on the chair and moaned: "Hmm~~~Ah~~"

But suddenly

The fox eyes suddenly thought of something, and the whole person returned to normal in an instant. He looked at Chen Yue and said, "Uncle, why don't you say that Su Changan wrote this poem just to let me stay as a hostage, so I stayed."

Hearing these nonsense words, Chen Yue immediately said: "Your Highness! This matter is not to be taken lightly, and Mr. Fang personally said that we should go back after the Lantern Festival. There must be a reason. What's more, the capital is not at peace now. People like Zuo Cunxu who usually don't show up have come out one after another, especially the Li family. I heard that they have cut off all business dealings with the Zuo family, the Xu family, and the Qi family a few days ago. And we don't know what's going on in Yandi now. In addition, the martial arts world has been unstable recently because of the Sword-raising Conference, especially the battle between Shentu Sheyue and Yan Ruyu in the capital. There are so many martial arts people here because of this reason. There is also a rumor that a young man named Lu Cai has appeared and killed many martial arts people, and his destination is Raojiang. According to our intelligence, this Lu Cai is the queen."

When he said this, Chen Yue saw Xia Tingyu's foxy eyes staring at him, his cheeks puffed up slightly, and he smiled bitterly again without saying anything more.

Xia Tingyu said angrily, "There are all kinds of things about dog sesame candy. It's so annoying!"

After saying that, Xia Tingyu looked at Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan: "He also sent people to hinder the Queen's reputation, but she ended up writing a poem called "Green Jade Case" and a poem called "Difficult Road to Shu". This is not even the first place in the poetry list. After tonight, I don't know how many writers and scholars have been discouraged. When I see Zhou An'an, I want to kneel down and pay my respects to him as his disciple."

Hearing this

Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan stood up and bowed: "We are useless."

Xia Tingyu waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I can't stop it anyway. What does it have to do with you? Besides, both of you have good poems. It's already remarkable that you can present poems tonight."

Zhai Zhiqiu and Tan Songyan lowered their heads in shame.

Xia Tingyu continued, "However, do you want to go back with us? Lin Ruoyun said that she wanted to stay here for a few more days."

Lin Ruoyun, Zhai Zhiqiu and the other two were originally chosen as county horses and came to the capital to perform in front of Xia Tingyu.

But after spending some time together, the three of them could actually see that Her Royal Highness the Princess had no feelings for them, so they had given up.

Therefore, Lin Ruoyun did not plan to stay away from going back for the time being.

Xia Tingyu was straightforward and let Lin Ruoyun do whatever she wanted.

And then I heard Xia Tingyu's words.

Tan Songyan stood up and said, "I have decided to follow the King of Shu and pledge my loyalty to His Royal Highness the Princess."

Xia Tingyu looked at Zhai Zhiqiu.

Zhai Zhiqiu stood up and bowed: "I want to stay in the capital for a while and visit the students in the capital."

Xia Tingyu stared at Zhai Zhiqiu with foxy eyes and asked directly, "Is Cao Shen planning to recommend you?"

Hearing this, Shen Yue looked deeply at Zhai Zhiqiu.

Zhai Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the princess would know about it, so he thought for a while and said, "Lord Cao wants to recommend me, but I am temporarily..."

At this point, Xia Tingyu waved his hand and said, "No need to explain this to me. Originally, the three of you were not really members of the Shu Palace. You are free to come and go. Since Tan Songyan is going to surrender, Uncle Shen will make arrangements for you. As for you, Zhai Zhiqiu, we naturally don't care. However, if you want to stay in the capital to serve as an official, I would like to remind you that you can make friends with Yan Shu. With your talent, you should be able to chat with him. Zuo Shaoweng is also fine, but you have to be careful of Zuo Cunxu. If I guess correctly, he should also serve as an official."

When Xia Tingyu finished speaking, Chen Yue immediately said, "I would like to congratulate Zhiqiu for finding a good way out."

Zhai Zhiqiu immediately bowed.

Xia Tingyu smiled, but didn't say anything more. He came out of the Shu Palace to serve as an official in the capital.

There are a lot of tricks in his mind, but I don’t know what will happen next.

but

Wasn’t this person recommended by the master? In other words, the master had intended for him to be an official in the capital from the beginning?

Thinking of this, Xia Tingyu also smiled, but then, thinking that he was about to leave, he slumped in his chair again: "I'm so annoyed~~"

After saying this, he stood up and looked at the others: "Let's go, what are you sitting here for, let's go celebrate the Lantern Festival."

Hearing Xia Tingyu's words, Chen Yue smiled and stopped paying attention to Zhai Zhiqiu. Instead, he stood up and said, "I asked someone to take a seat to watch the iron flower show. Shall we go now?"

Xia Tingyu nodded: "I haven't spent the Lantern Festival in the capital for many years. By the way, help my Kun Ling find a man."

Having said that, he grabbed Kun Ling and walked outside.

Chen Yue smiled and followed closely behind Ma Yaner, calling for Tan Songyan to leave together.

Zhai Zhiqiu wanted to leave, but was stopped by the wolf hook.

Lang Gou smiled and said, "Master Zhai, don't come with us."

Zhai Zhiqiu smiled, bowed, and watched Lang Gou leave. He heaved a sigh of relief and thought of Zuo Cunxu.

I couldn't help but smile.

I thought to myself that they are truly worthy of being master and disciple.

Because the person who told Mr. Fang to be careful when being an official was also Zuo Cunxu from the Zuo family.

…

Zuo Cunxu didn't say a word tonight, or rather the number of words he spoke to others could be counted on one hand.

After the poetry reading, he took Zuo Shaoweng's hand and walked on the streets of Fangshi and started to talk.

Glancing at the Zuo family carriage not far behind him, Zuo Cunxu smiled and looked at Zuo Shaoweng: "Okay, let's just go here. If we don't go back, the people in the carriage will preach to us again."

As he spoke, Zuo Cunxu took out a purse from his bosom. It was bulging with money and quite heavy. He stuffed it into Zuo Shaoweng's hand and said, "Don't be so sentimental. This is not for you. It's for my two nephews. It's normal for an uncle like me to give some money on the Lantern Festival."

Zuo Shaoweng wanted to refuse, but looking at the expression of this uncle who was only a few years older than him, he nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Uncle Seventh."

Zuo Cunxu smiled, then glanced at Yan Shu who had been waiting for Zuo Shaoweng over there: "It's good to be friends, but don't fool around. It's nothing to not be with your wife and children during the holidays!"

Whenever Zuo Cunxu spoke, his words would always sound like singing a song, and Zuo Shaoweng was used to it.

After all, there is a reason why his uncle is called "Shi Ling".

Zuo Shaoweng immediately said, "They are waiting for me in the East Market. They have made an appointment."

Zuo Cunxu chuckled and said, "That's my problem. Well, let's go now. When my rest is over in a few days, I'll give you my official title and we'll meet at the Hanlin Academy."

Zuo Shaoweng bowed deeply.

Watching Zuo Shaoweng leave, Zuo Cunxu smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards the Zuo family's carriage.

After getting on the car, he saw his elder sister Zuo Fangzhi resting with her eyes closed.

Zuo Cunxu felt somewhat helpless, but he sat in the car indifferently and picked up the opera mask on the side and started playing with it.

Zuo Fangzhi opened his eyes slightly and looked at Zuo Cunxu: "Queen, did you do this on purpose?"

Zuo Cunxu put on the mask on his face, but did not answer directly. Instead, he lay directly in his eldest sister's arms.

He is the youngest child in the Zuo family. The mistress of the Zuo family gave birth to a son in her old age, but she died of complications during childbirth.

It can be said that Zuo Fangzhi brought him up single-handedly.

An eldest sister is like a mother.

So when Zuo Cunxu lay in his arms, Zuo Fangzhi didn't say anything.

Zuo Cunxu slightly lifted his mask and said, "It's not important now."

The pheasant on the left said nothing.

Zuo Cunxu said, "But I did find something."

Zuo Fangzhi looked towards Zuo Cunxu.

Zuo Cunxu said: "Your Highness, the King of Yue, he must still have you in his heart, because he has been avoiding me."

Zuo Fangzhi didn't say anything but just closed his eyes again.

Zuo Cunxu continued, "Also, before I left, my father asked me to look more at Qi Qi. She is smarter than I heard, and she is more capable of getting along with everyone. She is also better at making people happy than the old man of the Qi family. She even took the initiative to apologize to Cui Yuer. If the Qi family really escapes this disaster, Qi Qi will be a difficult person to deal with. However, they should be able to escape, right? Isn't the old man of the Qi family planning to learn from Yang Shanchang and buy his life with money? And he has even started to contact the Yang family secretly."

After that, Zuo Cunxu put on the mask again and said, "However, our Zuo family can learn from it, but those who have blood on their hands will probably die."

Zuo Fangzhi slightly opened his eyes and looked outside the carriage. Suddenly he saw Zuo Shaoweng. His expression remained unchanged, but some memories flashed in his eyes, because he remembered his fifth sister who had been caught when she tried to elope, but he just remembered her.

Zuo Fangzhi said, "When you go back, Dad will ask you why you didn't take out your own poems."

Zuo Cunxu sat up and held up the mask: "Then I won't go back. There are several performances in Liuli Tower tonight. I was thinking about how to get you to let me go there."

Zuo Fangzhi looked at Zuo Cunxu and said, "You can have fun with the actors, but remember, don't get pregnant. Lao Wu is a lesson for you."

Zuo Cunxu held the mask in one hand to cover his face, and gently twisted it with the other hand, singing in a long and delicate voice: "Okay~~~Big~~Sister~~~"

But after saying that, Zuo Cunxu threw the mask aside and was about to get off the carriage. However, he lifted the curtain and looked back at his elder sister: "Sister, tell the old man that instead of throwing me into the hands of the emperor to go to the Hanlin Academy, it would be better to send me to Yanyun with hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver, and then let me go to the north to join the army and make meritorious deeds in exchange for the safety of the Zuo family. The current emperor can kill people with just a glance, and the swordsmen in the capital can make the Zuo family bleed in an instant. All the plans and plots are nothing in front of the soldiers. Don't forget, [Di Ting] is in the capital. The emperor knows everything we do and say."

"However, as long as the person is still useful, the emperor will consider it. Especially in our family, apart from those few troublemakers, we just pretended to obey some imperial decrees, expanded the family a little, and made some money that we shouldn't have made. We paid what we should pay, but we didn't do as many evil things as Li Nishang and others. People are alive, and they have lost the reputation of the family. So what? The reputation of the family is as shitty as a pile of shit, and it should have been thrown away long ago."

Zuo Cunxu looked at his elder sister and said, "I will not sit and wait for my second brother and his men to incite the old man to fight against the emperor. In my play, I will not be labeled a traitor and die by the emperor of the Xia Dynasty. So, if they want to die, I will not do it."

Suddenly, Zuo Cunxu said in a sharp voice: "Let's go~~~~"

But just after getting out of the car, Zuo Cunxu saw Chen Xin and Xia Yaomo walking on the street, and immediately shouted: "Your Highness the King of Yue, my elder sister is in the car! Come and reminisce!"

When Chen Xin heard it, he turned around and saw that it was Zuo Cunxu. He took a deep breath, glanced at the carriage, and immediately pulled Xia Yaomo away.

But after taking only two steps and thinking about it, he still sighed, thinking that the cause and effect that had to be resolved would eventually come to an end.

So, he walked towards the Zuo family's carriage.

But he had only taken a few steps.

The driver of the Zuo family's carriage received an order from Zuo Fangzhi and left directly, ignoring Chen Xin at all.

This made Chen Xin helpless, but also very grateful.

Very good, now I understand the cause and effect with Zuofang Zhi!

…

After the poetry meeting, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang did not return to the palace directly. Instead, after saying goodbye to Su Zimu and others, they strolled on the street.

They had agreed in the morning to take a good stroll tonight, so the two of them held hands and looked left and right on the street.

For both Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, this was actually their first time strolling on the streets during the Lantern Festival.

To be precise, this was not Xia Fengxiang's first time, but the last time he wandered around like this was many years ago, so it could barely be considered the first time.

Therefore, the two of them were somewhat curious as they walked down the street, but they were not running around looking around with a look of curiosity on their faces.

In the bustling market, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, thought for a moment and said, "If you feel tired, tell me and I'll carry you on my back."

Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Changan and nodded slightly.

Anyway, as long as you don't feel embarrassed, it won't be shameful to be carried on your back in front of so many people.

From a distance, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang saw the huge iron flowers scattering in the air and immediately laughed.

But when I looked down, I noticed that many people had already started releasing lanterns near the river.

Many people buy lanterns on the roadside and then release them by the river.

Su Changan looked at the people selling lanterns, thought for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said, "We can go downstream and wait, then collect the lanterns that come over, and then bring them here to sell. We will definitely make a lot of money!"

Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang chuckled, looked at Su Changan and scolded him, "What a shame!"

Su Changan chuckled, then looked at the people selling lanterns and the lanterns on the river. To be honest, this business could really make money!

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said with a smile, "You were so popular at the poetry meeting just now, but now you are thinking about doing something like this. You are not afraid of being found out and ruining your reputation! Zhou An'an, don't look at him like that, he has an extremely upright personality. Be careful, he may start to hate you!"

Hearing Xia Fengxiang mention the evildoer Zhou An'an, Su Chang'an sighed, "He's my fanboy. I thought he was looking at me like that because he was attracted to me and coveted my beauty. I didn't expect he was worshipping me."

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, but after thinking for a while he couldn't help laughing, then said, "What fanboy? You just say weird words. But since Zhou An'an likes you, you can give him something. Although the Zhou family is not a big family, it is a meritorious family. His father and mother died in the battlefield a few years ago. Now his two brothers are in the north and the west. They are descendants of a general, so it's good for you to give him something."

Su Changan nodded, but he didn't expect that such a monster was from a military family.

But after thinking for a while, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "That Shu Road is difficult, is it okay?"

Xia Fengxiang frowned and looked at Su Changan: "Are you asking this kind of question again?"

Su Changan was helpless.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "Didn't we agree on this? You are my fool. If you do something stupid, even if it is the biggest stupidity, I will be there for you. So, don't ask me about these things in the future. If you ask me again, I will be really angry."

Su Changan smiled helplessly.

Xia Fengxiang looked at the scholars not far ahead and said, "Besides, it's not a big deal. You just wrote a poem for Xia Tingyu. How they interpret it is their business. It has nothing to do with us."

Su Changan said "hmm". This matter was difficult to explain, mainly because he had not thought of this problem at the time.

However, Xia Fengxiang suddenly seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Su Changan: "I do have a question that I want to ask you!"

Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang said, "Why did you write such a good poem for Xia Tingyu? Don't you know that I don't like her? And when you talked to her, your tone was so gentle!!"

Hearing this, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Xia Qingge, don't force me to kiss you in front of so many people to apologize. If you push me to the limit, I can do anything."

Xia Fengxiang had long been accustomed to Su Changan talking like this, so he reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Su Changan, don't force me. If you force me, I can do anything. Believe it or not, I will kiss you until you beg for mercy!"

Hearing this, Su Changan pursed his lips and immediately said, "Quick, kiss me until I beg for mercy."

Seeing Su Changan being so shameless, Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan and said, "Let's go!"

Su Changan chuckled.

But suddenly, Su Changan sniffed, turned his head and saw a steamed buns stall.

Xia Fengxiang couldn't help laughing, then took out a purse from his pocket and gave it to Su Changan: "Go buy it, I'll wait for you here."

Su Changan chuckled, took the purse and told Xia Fengxiang to stand there, then turned around and ran towards the steamed buns stall.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, who was like a child, and sighed helplessly.

but.

When he looked elsewhere, he was stunned for a moment, because he saw Liu Baishi, a woman dressed as a man, walking with Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao blushed and stammered, but Liu Baishi pulled Lian Qiao and walked quickly towards the East Market.

Seeing this scene, Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but look at Lian Wei who was following not far away.

It was discovered that Lian Wei didn't notice.

Xia Fengxiang did not say much, but just looked away. There were many couples on the street, all heading to the East Market. After all, the fireworks there were about to be set off.

But suddenly

Xia Fengxiang saw a scholar standing in a remote corner, and several other scholars were reading, as if they were imitating the saying 'I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, I found him standing there where the lights were dim'.

Seeing this scene, Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but look at Su Changan, then after thinking about it, he looked around and found that where he was standing was right behind a stall selling masks. It was a relatively remote place and a little dark, making it difficult to be seen.

So he immediately stood over there, looked around, and confirmed that this place was a remote place and would not be easily discovered by Su Changan. Then he looked at Su Changan who had bought the buns, just wanting to see how Su Changan would look when he couldn't find him.

There were a lot of people buying buns, and even more people on the street, but Xia Fengxiang only had Su Changan's figure in her eyes. Even after a crowd passed by, she could still see Su Changan the first time, as if Su Changan did it on purpose, or as if Su Changan did that just to see her.

But no matter what, Xia Fengxiang hid well.

but

After Xia Fengxiang bought the buns, Su Changan turned around and walked towards him. He didn't even look for him, but walked towards him, as if he knew he was there.

Coming in front of Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "What are you doing here? Did you run into someone you know? I just saw Li Heng there, but that silly boy was holding something and grinning for no reason, so I didn't call him. What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "How did you know I was here? I hid here on purpose to see if you were looking for me."

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was worried that something might happen to you, so I was watching you while I was buying the buns."

Xia Fengxiang pursed his lips and said "oh".

Su Changan saw it, smiled and whispered: "The dim lights are deceptive. If you really like someone, she is the only one in your eyes. How can you not find her?"

Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang was about to say "this is so corny".

Bang! !

Above the sky, brilliant sparks suddenly exploded!

Countless people looked up.

Su Changan also looked at the fireworks.
