Chapter 145 She just couldn't bear it
As the sun sets, the rows of shops on Weiyang Street are shrouded in orange-red sunset, as if a fairyland has been brought back to earth by the thick smoke and smoke.
The Dragon Boat Festival will be here in a few days. During the day, people will race dragon boats, play polo, recite poems and compose poems, and go outing in groups. At night, they will also put out lanterns to pray on the river.
At this time, the people in Chang'an City have all begun to dress up, and every household is hanging moxa and moxa.
The stalls of the vendors selling goods along the street mostly have colorful ropes, various exquisite lanterns, etc., and Wanxianglou also prepares a large number of sachets to ward off evil spirits, but in fact they only contain insect repellent powder.
Compared with other expensive perfume powders in Wanxiang Tower, this sachet is of high quality and low price, and it is very popular in Chang'an City.
Yun Xihe was sitting on the carriage returning to the Princess's Mansion with a slight smile on her face. Compared to when she first came back from rebirth, she had smiled more recently and her mood had become more and more stable. Seeing
Only when you have more and more chances to win can you feel at ease.
Although she knew that the potential crises had not disappeared, such as Chu Sheng who fled back to Zhou Dynasty, and Xiliang who had previously sent spies to Chang'an, the neighbors were all watching...
But...a moment of peace of mind is also peace of mind.
The princess's mansion also started to prepare. Xiaoli has always been skillful with her hands, and all kinds of lanterns were made beautifully in her hands.
Yun Xihe looked at the large pile of lanterns, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "Xiaoli, even if everyone in the house puts one, it won't be enough, right?"
Xiaoli kept moving her hands while muttering, "Princess, each of these lanterns can make a wish." She picked up one and said, "This is just for wishing for health."
"This is just a wish for peace..."
"This is just a wish for a long life..."
Yun Xihe heard this and picked up one casually, "What about this one?"
Xiaoli blinked, took a closer look, and immediately had a look of surprise on her face, "Princess! I knew you would like this one! This one is just for marriage!"
Yun Xihe only felt that the lantern was hot to the touch, "I don't need it, Princess!"
Xiaoli had her own words to say, "Princess, putting up lanterns to pray is also a way to get good luck, not necessarily any one of them will come true! Anyway, we put out all the lanterns, and if we can occupy one of them, even that one
Come on! It’s not a loss after all, right?”
Yun Xihe was noncommittal.
Indeed, setting off the lanterns was just for fun and good luck, and it didn't necessarily mean that what you really asked for would come true. Besides, she was really avoiding the matter of marriage now.
After a pause, her mind moved and she thought of Qin Xuanling again.
Yesterday, he said that things had been smoothed out, and he thought he would not be as busy as he was a few days ago. After being tired for so long, he should take a rest.
Yun Xihe thought, after all, it is the fireworks of the world that can soothe people's hearts the most, "I have made a lot of lanterns on the left and right. You can go next door and have a look later to see if the prince has come to the other courtyard today. If he comes back,
, just give him a few."
Xiaoli hurriedly agreed, "Yes. What if the prince doesn't come back?"
Yun Xihe pondered for a moment, "If he doesn't come back, then send it to his house."
It's the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone has lanterns to put out, so don't leave him alone.
Xiaoli hurriedly put down the waiter in her hand, picked up the lantern for marriage, and ran out of the gate of the princess's mansion.
Yun Xihe: "..."
Within a moment, Xiaoli came back and reported everything in detail,
"Princess, what a coincidence, the prince is also in another courtyard today! The prince has already accepted the lanterns you asked the slave to send. He also asked the slave to send a message back, saying that he had something to do during the day. At the next moment, Qujiang
By the pool, see you there or not."
Yun Xihe nodded. During the Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boat racing takes place on the Weishui River, but the most suitable place to place lanterns is Qujiang Pool.
It's just that there is no need to see each other again. She was just afraid that everyone had lanterns to put out but he didn't, so she gave him one, and she had no intention of asking him to go with her!
Xiaoli was already minding her own business and helping to speak,
"When the slave sent the lanterns, Prince Xuan also asked what the lanterns were for. I guess the prince has never put off lanterns before, and he was too embarrassed to ask others, so he invited the princess to come with him, right?"
Why doesn't it sound credible at all?
Yun Xihe twitched the corner of his mouth, "Okay, don't talk anymore, we'll see you there or not. I'm going to take Wangshu with me that day too."
Xiaoli silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It would be better for the princess to go! As for the second young lady... I hope she can be lucky enough to be caught between the princess and the prince!
——
The day of Dragon Boat Festival will soon arrive.
At the entrance of Yun Mansion, Yun Wangshu was looking towards the street entrance, her expression a little annoyed and a little uneasy. When a familiar carriage came into view, her face showed a smile again, and she stepped forward to greet it.
After walking a few steps, he turned around and walked back with a sullen face.
Yun Xihe had already raised his hand from the car window: "Wang Shu."
Yun Wangshu stopped and turned around and said, "Yun Xi and you still know how to come back."
This voice was full of anger, and Yun Xihe couldn't tell. She was such a weird little girl.
Yun Xihe deliberately kept a straight face, "If you don't welcome me, then I'll leave now?"
I'm so angry, why would I stand at the door waiting for you to come back if I don't welcome you? Yun Wangshujiao hummed and stamped her foot, ran awkwardly to the house, but couldn't help cheering, "Grandma, father, Xihe
came back!"
Yun Mansion is now very sparsely populated, but fortunately there is Yun Wangshu chattering all the time, which makes it very warm.
Yun Xihe greeted his grandmother and father, talked with them for a while, and listened to many instructions before taking Yun Wangshu out of the house and went all the way to the Haofeng Terrace to watch the dragon boat racing.
Haofengtai is actually the name of a restaurant built on the banks of the Weishui River. The layout of the restaurant is a five-story platform. Standing on the platform, you can have a panoramic view of the dragon boat race. Today, people have gathered on the edge of the Weishui River.
Thousands of people, including men, women, old and young, a mixture of talented people, beauties, traffickers and goons.
Yun Wangshu looked around with bright eyes, and Yun Xihe's mood was also affected. Well, her favorite in the previous life was also this Dragon Boat Festival.
The guards in Chang'an City were not enough to handle the dragon boat race, so the imperial army came to help. This was what Qin Xuanling said was some kind of mission.
So although there are many people here, everyone is very orderly. The Forbidden Army has put the entire Haofeng Tower on guard. Those who can go to the Haofeng Tower have reserved their positions in advance, and the money spent can be equivalent to that of ordinary people for a year.
cost, so the layout is quite comfortable.
Yun Xihe and Yun Wangshu walked into the Haofeng Terrace and didn't feel crowded anymore. Before they even went upstairs, they could see the dazzling colorful flags fluttering at the starting point of the dragon boat race.
It was Yun Wangshu's first time to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in Chang'an City, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "The colorful cloth flags are really beautiful!"
Just as she finished speaking, a charming female voice sneered, "What a country bumpkin! I've never even seen brocade."
