The eighth prince changed the subject and asked: "Cousin, why don't you recite a poem today?"
"When you princes and princesses are in the limelight, why should I join in the fun!"
Twelve smiled and said: "Brother Bage, how did you know that she didn't recite the poem?" Shen Huan looked at him in surprise, Twelve whispered: "Everyone thinks that the plum blossom poem by the father was uttered by the eighth princess, but ...Ah Huan, let me ask you, what did you say to the eighth princess at that time?"
Lao Ba, Lao Ninth and Lao Ten all looked at Shen Han. Shen Huan glared at Twelve and said, "I didn't say anything! If it's a girl, why did you ask?"
Twelve smiled and said: "According to my understanding of the Eighth Princess, she is not the one who is serious about this, but you, Ah Hu - I remember one time during class, you specifically asked the Taifu for advice and wrote down the What poems have you read?”
Shen Huan became honest now. She didn't expect that the twelfth prince would be so thoughtful at such a young age. He smiled and said: "I was just curious at the time, thinking that all emperors would have one or two poems that people praised, so I asked who it was. Do you know if it will be used today?"
The tenth prince suddenly sighed: "The eighth princess is like me. She has had no mother since she was a child. I have my twelfth brother to accompany me, and Concubine Hui treats me like her own son. But the eighth princess is always careful with the queen, and my father is also I don’t really care about her, Ah Hu, you did a great thing today!”
There was clearly some dissatisfaction with the Emperor and Queen in his words. Shen Huan hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, what are you talking about? Actually, I also want to be in the limelight! It's just that there are so many people present, so I'm embarrassed."
Twelve smiled "chi" and said: "Are you still embarrassed?"
Shen Wen pouted: "Of course I will be embarrassed."
When Twelve saw her pouting, she was actually very cute, which was quite different from her usual appearance. For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart, as if the air around him had condensed, making him unable to breathe.
Fortunately, the tenth prince began to tease Ah Hu about how thick-skinned he was, and no one noticed the changes in the twelve princes. They spent the first day of the day fighting like this.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Huan seemed a little out of spirits because she had been visiting relatives, so she did not follow her mother into the palace. She wanted to have a good rest during the day, and maybe sneak out at night to watch the lantern festival and so on. During the Lantern Festival, Yao was partying all night over in the West Market!
In the afternoon, Shen Huan was still resting when she heard Xiaoxue report that a visitor was coming. Suddenly, she saw a few familiar figures walking over from the Princess Linchuan courtyard. Shen Huan panicked and asked Xiaoxue and Shuang'er helped change clothes and packed them up before going outside to give them gifts.
"Why are you here?" Shen Huan stared at the monkeys in front of her in surprise.
The twelfth prince smiled and said: "I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came here to see you."
Shen Huan looked at him suspiciously and said, "Is it as simple as just coming to see me?"
The Eighth Prince was the most honest and said with a blushing face: "I came to see you and take a look at the Western Market."
Shen Huan immediately took a deep breath and asked, "Is there no banquet in the palace tonight?"
The twelfth prince said: "We will invite all the ministers to the dinner tonight. We princes who have not been crowned kings do not need to attend."
Shen Huan smiled and said: "It's a lie that you come to see me, but it's true that you want to go to the West Market to play?"
The tenth prince muttered: "There will be a lantern market tonight in the West Market, and there will be a party all night long. Don't say you don't want to go."
Shen Wen smiled and said: "Who said I don't want to go, but it's too early now."
Everyone laughed, and it seemed that they all understood each other tacitly!
Before evening, several people went around from Princess Linchuan's yard to the outside of the house. They did not alert Princess Linchuan, so as not to cause trouble later.
Several people arrived at the West Market. As expected, the West Market was crowded with people. Shen Huan was afraid of being dispersed by the crowd, so she firmly grabbed the eighth prince's hand. The eighth prince's face turned red from suppressing it. The tenth prince and the ninth prince looked at it in amusement. The twelfth prince But he didn't say much, and Shen Huan didn't notice it.
Since they hadn't had dinner yet, they ate wontons at a wonton stall on the street. The tenth prince praised them for being more delicious than those in the palace, and ate three large bowls in one go. Shen Huan looked amused, but saw that the ninth prince had nothing to eat. He didn't eat, so he said, "Brother Ninth, why don't you eat?" It was inconvenient for them to identify themselves, so they only addressed themselves as brother and sister.
The Ninth Prince hesitated, and the Twelfth Prince said: "Brother Ninth has always been in poor health, so I don't dare to eat too much of these things. I will buy some snacks from the front later."
Shen Wen smiled and nodded, talking about where the snacks are delicious and clean.
As night falls, there are more and more people in the West Market
Just when they were about to buy snacks, Shen Huan was dispersed by the crowd, and the other four people were nowhere to be found. The tenth prince and the eighth prince together, the ninth prince and the twelfth prince were all scattered by the crowd.
Shen Huan looked around at the people who were much taller than herself, and suddenly panicked in her heart. Although she was wearing men's clothes, but... So she immediately stood on tiptoes and shouted: "Chu..." She hurriedly covered up the words as soon as they came out. Come on, you can’t call the princes by their names at this time!
So she had no choice but to cry out with grievance: "Cousin, cousin... where are you!"
The Eighth Prince and the others were also looking around anxiously. The Eighth Prince was sweating profusely: "Cousin, Ah Hu..." The Twelfth Prince was also anxious, but he didn't run around, but looked at everyone he met. Question: "Have you ever seen a little girl who is so tall and very pretty... no, a little boy? No? Is he very beautiful, like a girl, or not?"
Unknowingly, they didn't care about admiring the lantern market, they only focused on looking for someone.
Ah Hu has already burst into tears. This is bad. If these monkeys disappear or are hit by something, not to mention herself, I am afraid even her father will be affected!
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She burst into tears with a cry. People around her stared at her curiously. She walked to the roadside, sat by a well, and began to cry intently.
Twitching, she saw a snow-white handkerchief handed to her. She took it without thinking, wiping her tears and nose, her hands were cold, with a light fragrance and such a texture. After leaving the palace, there was no It will be produced elsewhere
She suddenly stood up and said in a complaining tone: "Where were you just now?"
But as soon as she asked the question, she was stunned. In front of her was not the Eighth Prince and others, but a strange and handsome man.
The man was looking at her with a smile and said softly: "Little girl, are you separated from your family?"
What a beautiful man!
Shen Huan couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart, then nodded and said sheepishly: "My brothers and I got separated..."
The man still asked softly: "Do you remember where you got separated?"
Shen Huan shook his head in embarrassment. The man pondered for a while and said, "Then, can I take you home first? Maybe your brothers will go home if they can't find you."
Shen Huan hesitated: Do they know to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
