Chapter 33 Lantern Festival
Qin Xixi listened to their words and recalled the plot in the original book. Naturally, she didn't want her elder brother and the little grandson to be in danger.
Pei Xuanyi frowned when he heard this.
Yes, he also wanted to hurry up, but the faster the speed, the greater the risk of transporting grain and grass.
Xixi's words made it clear that there would definitely be mistakes with the grain and grass. We
can't rush this road.
"Let's put off the rushing in advance. Let's make sure there is no problem with the grain and grass first. Please check the grain and grass, otherwise I will always have doubts in my heart."
Fu Qian also realized that grain and grass were the most important things for their journey, and immediately accepted the order.
Zhou Fangze, who had not spoken for a long time, finally found an opportunity to show himself at this time.
He quickly stepped forward and said that he also wanted to go check with Fu Qian.
Pei Xuanyi frowned.
To be honest, he had not had much contact with Zhou Fangze. But judging from his performance at the last Jinke Banquet and the character of his whole family, Pei Xuanyi was really worried about Zhou Fangze.
After thinking for a moment, he handed the token to Qin Qixuan.
"In that case, let Brother Qixuan and Brother Fangze go check the grain and grass together. Master Fu can stay here and be taken care of."
Zhou Fangze was a little dissatisfied. Why was the token in the hands of Qin Qixuan?
But he did not dare to refute the emperor's grandson, so he had to hide his jealousy and prepared to go with Qin Qixuan to check the grain and grass.
"Your Highness, it's not appropriate to bring Fang Yu with you when you go to investigate forage. Can I hand Fang Yu over to Your Highness so that you can rest assured?"
Before leaving, Zhou Fangze spoke earnestly, thinking that Pei Xuanyi must not dislike children since he had held Qin Xixi for so long.
Even when Qin Xixi peed on him, he didn't react.
And Fang Yu is so smart, she wouldn't be as rude as Qin Xixi, how could Qin Xixi compare to her?
Let the little grandson get closer to Fang Yu, maybe the grandson will find out how good Fang Yu is.
What if Zhou Fangyu can marry the grandson...
their family can also prosper.
Then, he will let those who laughed at him for wanting to marry a princess see if he is worthy!
Zhou Fangze thought a lot of good and bad things, but Pei Xuanyi had a blank expression on his face and said "No" in a crisp and clear voice.
He doesn't like children other than Xixi, because they are annoying and troublesome.
Especially someone like Zhou Fangyu, who looks like a one-year-old child on the surface, but has the soul of an adult, a scary "child" with a lot of tricks.
Zhou Fangze didn't expect the royal grandson to refuse directly, and his face was embarrassed.
He quickly gave his sister a look.
Zhou Fangyu understood that her brother wanted her to act coquettishly and beg His Royal Highness the Royal Grandson, but before...
she was a little hesitant.
I don't know if this royal grandson has a problem with his brain, and he would actually favor a fool like Qin Xixi.
But then she thought again, she had been trying to improve her favorability in front of the grandson of the emperor these past two days, and the grandson of the emperor didn't seem to reject her so much, maybe Pei Xuanyi had been moved by her?
The more she thought about it, the more confident she became.
Since Qin Xixi, this idiot, could do it, she must be able to do it too.
So she opened her mouth.
"Brother..."
But she was ruthlessly interrupted by Pei Xuanyi.
"Don't make me say it again, there is no sister with the surname Zhou in the Pei family."
Zhou Fangyu was so scared that he dared not say anything.
Qin Xixi smiled in her heart.
[Zhou Fangyu really asked for trouble. Or the little grandson of the emperor is wise and brave, and his judgment is decisive! ]
Fu Qian also felt that this family was more and more troublesome.
None of them seemed to be people who put their minds on the right path.
Qin Qixuan was also traveling with his sister, why didn't he have so many problems like them?
He was really impatient.
"Zhou Fangze, you make your own choice, do you want to stay here with your sister, or go check for rations with Qin Qixuan."
Zhou Fangze knew he was angry when he heard that, so he had to hand Zhou Fangyu over to his followers.
He didn't understand why everyone favored the Qin family?
How on earth could the Qin family compare to them!
Listening to Fu Qian's question, Qin Qixuan admitted that he was shamefully moved.
He was different from Zhou Fangze, and he really wanted to accompany his sister.
But His Highness's token was in his hand, and it would be inappropriate for Zhou Fangze to go alone.
His Highness wanted to give him a chance to perform, so he couldn't say anything about staying at this time.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be even worse than Zhou Fangze?
He could only look at his sister with reluctant eyes.
Qin Xixi, on the other hand, was facing him with her butt raised.
She had already snuggled into Pei Xuanyi's arms, not having any attachment to her brother who was about to leave.
Qin Qixuan felt devastated and had to leave sadly.
It was already late when the two set off.
It was hard to travel these days, and since food and fodder were important, there was no rush to move on. Fu Qian suggested going to the inn to rest.
"We just happened to be in the city, so why not take a rest in the local inn? It will be convenient for Qixuan and the others to come back and find us."
Pei Xuanyi nodded.
Xixi's face has not been good these days, and she must be tired. It would be good to rest for a night.
Several people came to the nearest inn, deliberately concealed their identities, and asked the shopkeeper for a few rooms.
Seeing that there were important customers, the shopkeeper naturally smiled, ordered people to clean the room carefully again, and personally took them upstairs.
"Several guests are afraid to walk because of the Lantern Festival."
Pei Xuanyi was a little surprised to hear this.
"Today is the Lantern Festival?"
No wonder the streets are empty today, and there are few vacant rooms in this inn.
The shopkeeper nodded.
"So the guests didn't know. Since there is no preparation, you have to be careful. There will be little ghosts coming out tonight, and the guests should not move around casually, so as not to be scared by the little ghosts."
Several people were a little scared when they heard this.
After all, there have always been people in the mansion who can drive away the little ghosts, and they rarely have the opportunity to be outside during the Lantern Festival.
I heard that many people were scared crazy by little ghosts during the Lantern Festival, so they couldn't help but panic at this time.
But Xixi, who was used to seeing ghosts in her previous life, was not afraid.
[Don't be afraid, little grandson, I will protect you, Xixi wants to sleep with you! ]
Qin Xixi decided to sleep with Pei Xuanyi tonight no matter what, to avoid being possessed by a blind little ghost.
The threat in the original book is still there, as long as she is with the little grandson, she will not allow the little grandson to be abducted!
She blinked her big eyes and hugged Pei Xuanyi tightly, and she couldn't get down no matter how hard the followers pulled her.
Pei Xuanyi laughed and understood what she meant.
"Then Xixi should stay in the same room with me tonight. I'm afraid something might happen to her."
Qin Xixi nodded with satisfaction.
Zhou Fangyu was anxious. This Qin Xixi was really good at pretending to be pitiful!
She tried her best to get on Pei Xuanyi's pants and pulled.
What about her?
She is a noble lady. Isn't her safety important?
Feeling the pull, Pei Xuanyi looked down and saw Zhou Fangyu, as if he remembered something.
He lifted Zhou Fangyu with his other hand.
Zhou Fangyu was delighted. His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor still cared about her!
She looked at Qin Xixi provocatively.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanyi stuffed her into Fu Qian's arms the next second.
"Since Miss Zhou may also be the noble lady for this disaster relief, please take good care of her, Master Fu."
