Chapter 362 Familiar
How can I not think about it?
But thinking about it again, seeing his unruly look, Shen Tang didn't admit it, "I don't want to."
Xie Guimo chuckled, "Really?"
What a jerk.
"Yes, I miss you every day, during the day and at night."
I have to say it out loud, aren't you sick of it?
But this guy not only doesn't get tired of it, he actually enjoys it.
When they reached the street, there were too many people and the carriage could hardly move, so Xie Guimo got off the carriage and helped Chen Tang down.
Looking at the crowded streets, it was crowded even before it got dark. Chen Tang liked the atmosphere of thousands of lights. She thought Xie Guimo would not be able to spend the New Year with her this year, but she didn't expect that he would not only rush back to Beijing, but also accompany her to visit the lanterns. Chen Tang felt so satisfied in her heart.
Ginkgo and Qiutong didn't expect that they could all come out to see the lanterns. They knew that as long as they followed the Crown Prince's Consort, everything would go well.
But it was not good to have too many people on the street as it was easy to get squeezed. Chen Tang was pregnant and did not dare to be bumped by others. Chen Qi led the way in front, Chen Shan followed behind, two maids were on the right and left of Shen Tang, and Xie Guimo was protecting them. No one could get close to Shen Tang.
It's this feeling of being crowded around and being moved in a circle that is so annoying.
The looks they cast at her were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, as if saying that she was made of tofu dregs and that she should be afraid of being squeezed out and should just stay in the house and not come out.
Chen Tang, "..."
As they walked from the beginning to the end of the street, it was getting dark and the street became even more lively. What made Chen Tang even happier was that she ran into Yun Yi, and Chu Yi also accompanied her to view the lanterns.
Yun Yi was also happy to see Chen Tang. Shopping is best done by two girls together, as they can chat with each other.
Seeing Xie Guimo, Chu Yi said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to make it back to Beijing for the New Year, but I didn't expect you to make it back in time."
"By the way, who is the old man who came to Beijing with you today? He looks familiar, but I really can't remember who he is."
Chu Yi is only a few months younger than Xie Guimo. When he was young, he often went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to play, so naturally he had met the Duke of Zhenguo.
Xie Guimo said, "You are too curious."
"It has to be heavy. Don't you know that when you rode over today, the Marquis of Changping happened to be coming from the other side of the road. When he saw the old man, he was so scared that he almost fell off his horse. The Marquis of Changping is also a big shot in the court. Who could scare him like that?"
Ever since Xie Guimo and Prince Yu became close, Chu Yiluli and the others had more interactions with Prince Yu, and now the Xuanyi Marquis' Mansion and the Minister of War's Mansion have sided with Prince Yu.
Marquis Changping is the uncle of Prince Qi. Since he is involved in the fight for the throne and wholeheartedly supports Prince Yu, he naturally pays more attention to Prince Qi's party.
At that time, Chu Yi wanted to stop Xie Guimo and tell him about this, but when he talked to Lu Li for a few words, Xie Guimo disappeared. He thought that since he had returned to Beijing, he would have plenty of opportunities to ask him, but he didn't expect to meet him in the evening.
He was an impatient person. He wanted to find out the truth about things he was curious about right away, so he asked right away.
Chen Tang pulled Yun Yi to go over there to see the lanterns. When she heard Chu Yi's words, she paused and turned to look at Xie Guimo.
Xie Guimo asked, "Are you sure that the Prince of Changping was frightened when he saw the old man?"
Chu Yi nodded, "Of course, Lu Li and I saw it."
Given Marquis Changping's cruelty, it was hard to imagine who could scare him like that. Chu Yi was very curious as to what important figure Xie Guimo had invited to come to Beijing during his trip. It was obvious that this person could suppress Marquis Changping.
Xie Guimo and Shen Tang looked at each other and both felt strange.
It is said that if you have done nothing wrong in your life, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night, let alone in broad daylight. Old Master An looks very much like the Duke of Zhenguo, but the Marquis of Changping shouldn't be that frightened. Most people would only doubt whether the Duke of Zhenguo is still alive, rather than being afraid. The reaction of the Marquis of Changping...
More like guilty fear.
Considering that the Duke of Zhenguo and his two sons died on the battlefield, they were murdered by someone. Could it be that the person behind the murder was the Marquis of Changping?
Xie Guimo immediately ordered Chen Qi, "Send someone to protect Old Master An's family."
Chen Qi took the order and withdrew.
Chu Yi looked at Xie Guimo with a bewildered look on his face.
Who exactly is this person? Not only do we have to send secret guards to protect him, we also have to go there immediately.
Xie Guimo said, "The old man you saw today who looked familiar is the cousin of my grandfather, the Duke of Zhenguo."
Chu Yi was shocked. "There are still relatives in the Zhenguo Mansion?"
No wonder he felt it looked so familiar, it turned out to be like the Duke of Zhenguo.
That’s good now. The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion has a branch, and they can adopt a son or daughter to inherit the title.
Chu Yi was happy for the Zhenguo Mansion and Xie Guimo.
He wanted to take Xie Guimo to find a place to drink, but Chen Tang and Yun Yi were both pregnant, so he didn't dare let them out of his sight, so he could only follow them wherever they went.
Fortunately, the team was getting bigger and bigger, and soon they met Xiao Xun and Zhao Xi. After walking half a street, they saw Xiao Huan and Princess Roujia again. After all, there were not many lantern festivals held in Kyoto, and it was New Year, so the court was on holiday, and Xiao Huan was not busy, so he had time to accompany Princess Roujia.
Lu Li and Liu Ruoer also came, but Prince Yu and Miss Wen did not. They were in the palace to accompany the emperor and the empress dowager, but there were too many rules in the palace, so they felt more free outside the palace.
It is more lively when there are more people. People walk around and try all kinds of snacks. They have a lot of fun.
After strolling for more than an hour, we were so tired that we reluctantly parted and agreed to meet at the same time and place tomorrow night.
The servant drove the carriage over, and Xie Guimo and Shen Tang took the carriage back home.
Afraid that Chen Tang would be tired, Xie Guimo carried her back to Chenxiangxuan.
Chenxiang Pavilion was brightly lit, with hundreds of lanterns lit in the yard, but there were few people. Gingko called out, "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
There were only two maids there. Mother Zhou came over and said, "I saw that the Crown Prince's wife went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Crown Prince also returned to the capital. I guessed that you would go to the Lantern Festival tonight, so I sent the maids in the yard out to play."
After all, it only happens once a year, so do whatever makes you happy.
Mother Zhou has always been considerate to her servants and is respected by them.
Chen Tang nodded, "It was my negligence. I should have arranged it before I left the house."
Gingxing took Mother Zhou's arm and said, "The Lantern Festival is so lively. Mother Zhou should also go out for a walk."
Mother Zhou laughed, "I am so old, but I still love to play like you young people. There is hot water in the kitchen. Go and prepare it so that the prince and his wife can rest early."
Ginkgo and Qiutong didn't go back to the house, but went straight to the small kitchen.
Chen Tang took a comfortable hot bath. Just as she lay down on the bed, Xie Guimo came back.
Xie Guimo looked at Chen Tang, "Tired?"
Chen Tang nodded slightly.
Xie Guimo said, "Then go to sleep."
He also lay down, and Shen Tang just looked at him, hesitating for a moment before reaching out to him.
Xie Guimo raised the corner of his mouth, and turned over to press her under him.
