The banquet ended early, and the annual Lantern Festival in Beijing was very lively.

After coming out of the palace, Su Juan threw the calligraphy in her hand to Duke Ping, and left with Liu Miaoqing, followed by Xie Xun and Song Qianhang.

The two girls looked at the lanterns and tried for a long time but couldn't find one they liked.

The stall owner then took out his signature lanterns, which were intricately crafted, glowed brightly, and looked extremely beautiful.

Su Juan fell in love with her at first sight and her eyes lit up.

The stall owner said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will only give you this lantern if you answer all the riddles in this stall."

Someone took out silver and wanted to buy the lantern, but the stall owner insisted that everyone must guess all the riddles correctly, and he would not sell the lantern to anyone.

Several people looked at each other and looked at the riddle. Many people gathered around and many of them took a fancy to the lantern.

Seeing that Su Juan liked it, Song Qianhang and Liu Miaoqing solved the riddles one by one. Everyone around them was dumbfounded. Their speed was almost catching up with other people's riddles.

Until the last lamp, the two of them were stumped.

"The small boat can carry ten passengers every day, without oars or sails. During the day, we are busy on the boat and can travel all over the world without using water."

Everyone was talking about it, "How can there be a boat without oars and sails?"

"Yeah, no water."

Su Juan touched his chin, his eyes lit up, I get it!

"It's shoes."

A clear voice sounded from behind them. Several people turned around and saw Liu Xuan appeared behind them at some point, wearing a lotus-colored robe.

Song Qianhang looked at Liu Xuan, his eyes flashing with annoyance, he was actually one step ahead of him.

Liu Miaoqing only felt that he smelled the smell of gunpowder again.

At this moment, Xie Xun took the lantern from the boss, waved it past the people, and held it in his hand happily. He looked at them and raised his eyebrows, "What's so good about guessing the riddle?"

These vendors set up their stalls just to make money. As long as they pay enough, no one would refuse to sell.

The stall owner who had insisted on not selling lanterns just now had a heavy bag of money in his hand, which obviously belonged to Xie Xun.

Several people were silent: "."

I guessed for a long time, like a fool.

The owner of the stall smiled and said, "I don't want to sell it either, but this young man is giving too much."

This can also be considered as a good relationship.

Su Juan sighed, it turned out that it was not that they didn't want to sell it, but that the price was not enough.

Xie Xun showed them what it means: money makes the world go round.

He stuffed the lantern into Su Juan's hand, looked at the people in front of him smugly, and waved his fan. You want to show your courtesy in front of me, but don't you even look at who is in front of you.

I have been in charge of the brothel for many years. Compared to me, you are still a little green.

Liu Xuan looked at the lantern in Su Juan's hand, was silent for a moment, and said nothing.

Song Qianhang wanted to curse, it’s just money, it’s nothing but a lot of money.

Liu Miaoqing picked a rabbit-shaped lantern from the other lanterns, then took Su Juan's hand and squeezed towards the stage, "Juan, there is a shadow play over there, let's go and take a look."

The two men walked away carrying lanterns.

The three followed behind, and Song Qianhang spoke first, "I've always heard that Lord Liu doesn't like crowds, but I didn't expect that today he would be interested in joining in on these things that only girls like. It's really rare."

When Xie Xun heard this, he was surprised. It seemed like there was a strong smell of gunpowder.

Liu Xuan's tone was calm, "When I was in Xuzhou, I promised Miss Su that I would accompany her in the future, so naturally I have to accompany her today."

Xie Xun's eyes widened. This is a lie. I heard you guys talking big in the attic at that time, but Su Juan didn't say that this was the way to accompany you.

He was there and knew all this, but Song Qianhang didn't.

There was a gleam of doubt in Song Qianhang's eyes, and it was obvious that Liu Xuan didn't look like he was lying, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

&t;div tentadv>"It seems that Lord Liu has gained a lot from his trip to Xuzhou."

He was so sarcastic that Xie Xun wanted to give him a thumbs up.

Liu Xuan glanced at him and said, "Not like Song Shaoqing. I heard that Song Shaoqing has a beautiful and talented mistress in his private residence. Congratulations."

Xie Xun immediately gave Liu Xuan a thumbs up, not bad!

I really didn't expect that Liu Xuan's choking skills are as good as others.

Song Qianhang frowned, "What concubine? It's completely false."

He just made a deal with Xianyun, redeemed Xianyun and lent her the house to live in. He planned to change Xianyun's identity and find a marriage for her with a noble family in the future.

Xianyun told him everything about Song Qianfan's movements in recent years, as well as the movements of the people who had interacted with Song Qianfan through her.

On that day, he brought Xianyun's testimony and evidence to the palace to expose the matter. His Majesty did not say much, but asked him to listen and observe more in Prince Jing's Mansion and keep a close eye on Song Qianfan for him. Therefore, he also promoted him to the Zongzheng Temple.

It's nothing but a business transaction. The rumor about mistress is just a rumor from nowhere.

Seeing that he looked completely clueless, Liu Xuan understood and gave him a few words of advice, "Song Shaoqing thought he had calculated people's hearts, but he didn't know that people's hearts are scary. I'm afraid you are the one being calculated."

How could someone who could stay with Song Qianfan for several years be a simple person?

Xianyun saw that Song Qianfan had lost his power and was entangled with his ex-wife. At this time, Song Qianhang, the second son of Prince Jing's Mansion, came to her door. She just wanted to sleep, so someone handed her a pillow.

For Xianyun, he was unwilling to suffer the same loss as he had suffered at the hands of Song Qianfan again. Now that he had found a higher position, he had to make the matter clear.

It goes without saying where the rumors about the mistress came from.

Song Qianhang's eyes suddenly darkened.

Xie Xun thought, if Yu Zhong and Bai Ziling were here too, it would be really lively. The four of them could even play Pai Gow together.

He waved a fan, looking at the two girls in front of him who were holding lanterns and holding hands, and sighed. Su Juan was always saying that others were ostentatious, but for herself, she was the most ostentatious one.

What a blessing.

That night, I returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Duke Ping had someone bring the dumpling soup and watched Su Juan eat with a smile on his face.

"Girl, are you going out to the Lantern Festival with Liu Xuan and the second son of the Song family tonight?"

Su Juan bit a dumpling in her mouth, nodded, and responded vaguely, ".Hmm."

"Tell your uncle whether you like Liu Xuan or Song Lao Er."

“Cough cough cough!”

Su Juan choked and coughed until her face turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

What do you mean by liking Liu Xuan or Song Qianhang? Isn't that nonsense?

Duke Ping patted her back to calm her down, and said, "Oh," "I don't like it."

Su Juan's forehead twitched, "I went there with Miao Qing."

And Miaoqing, Miaoqing! You are such a grown-up, and you didn't even mention her!

Duke Pingguo smiled, "That's because he likes the Dali Temple Minister. Uncle thinks he's pretty good too."

Su Juan's face turned black.

"I heard that when you were in Xuzhou, Yu Zhong took good care of you. He is older than you and is very caring."

Su Juan: “.” Who is this bastard talking nonsense?

In the distance, Xie Xun, who was holding a bowl of dumpling soup, sneezed several times in succession. He rubbed his nose and wondered: Why do I keep sneezing?

Does anyone miss me?

First update in the early morning.

I'll add more chicken legs for everyone when I wake up.
