We arrived soon. Early in the morning, the streets were blocked and it was difficult to move.
Not only the dignitaries want to celebrate the festival, but the common people also want to go out to have fun. Regardless of whether they are from a high-level family or a small family, almost the whole family goes out.
The emperor originally didn't want to go out, but on that day, almost all the concubines in the palace left. He also heard that this year, various families were holding a big banquet by the Yangshui River, so he couldn't sit still.
Xu Yin heard the news about Shengjia's trip and was stuck in the street.
After listening to Princess Changning's reminder, she had already left the house early, but she underestimated the level of congestion in the capital. Fortunately, they were not far from Daguangming Temple, and they would be able to move when the carriages and horses in front entered the temple.
Seeing the crowds of people on the street, Xiaoman felt impatient and said while fanning his hands: "It's so hot. Why is it so hot in March?"
Xiao Sang took out a fan and said, "With so many people crowded together, it's strange that it's not hot. We'll go in later."
"Miss Third," the guard Jun called out, pushing through the crowd with great difficulty, and handed a large bowl of assorted ice and snow balls through the car window, "to cool off the heat."
Xu Yin took two bites. Seeing Xiaoman's eager face, he handed it to her: "You guys eat it."
Xiaoman swallowed, but declined: "Young lady, you can eat it yourself, I'm not thirsty."
Xu Yin teased: "My eyes are about to pop out, I'm not thirsty yet." She stuffed the ice bowl over and said, "Don't worry, eat. It's inconvenient for me to eat too much."
When women go out, they always eat as little as possible. In a dress-up situation, if you eat too much, it will be easy to get dirty, and it will be inconvenient to go to the toilet. Furthermore, what should you do if something like ice and snow balls cools your stomach? Try this
It tastes good.
Only then did Xiao Man smile. He held the ice bowl and Xiao Sang took one bite at a time and ate it up happily.
A bowl of cold water was poured into the stomach, and the heat dissipated a lot. The girls were in the mood to chat again. They looked at the crowd of supporters through the curtain and discussed the fashion in Beijing.
"Their buns are so high, how do you comb them up?"
"Of course I use a wig, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them."
"Wow, look at the hairpin that lady is wearing. It's an entire pavilion. How much gold does it cost?"
"Really! Isn't this too heavy?"
The girls were chattering, and Xu Yin listened indifferently, his eyes casually scanning the long street.
Suddenly, she saw something and moved her eyes back.
In the restaurant next to it, a man stepped out. He was about thirty years old, tall and strong, with a knife on his waist. He was Xue Yi.
He is not alone, but has two companions, a man and a woman. They are also dressed as Jianghu people and have weapons on their bodies.
The three of them talked together for a few words and then turned into the alley ahead.
Xu Yin's heart tightened. She remembered that the alley was a dead end, but it was only separated from the Daguangming Temple by a wall. What were they going to do? Could they sneak into the temple?
Today, many palace concubines are coming. The Daguangming Temple has been cleaned countless times, and the holy emperor has to go out. It is heavily guarded. If they really want to cause something, I am afraid there will be trouble.
But her people are not yet fully familiar with the capital, so they cannot act rashly...
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the wall of the car, and a familiar voice came in: "I knew you were stuck, and you were late to go out today, right?"
With a thought in Xu Yin's mind, he felt that the problem was easily solved. When he raised the curtain, he smiled brightly.
Yan Ling suddenly met her smiling face, and the sight of her face so close made his breath hitch.
For today's grand event, she had dressed up before going out. She had applied a thin layer of powder on her face and a touch of vermilion on her lips. The youthful and childish look she had when they first met has turned into a bright and beautiful girl.
Young Master Yan fell in love at first sight that day, and he was indeed attracted to her, but what attracted him was her graceful charm that was different from ordinary ladies. Although others called them Xu's twin sisters, in his heart, he did not regard them as sisters.
Beauty. It wasn't until this moment that he truly realized what a stunning beauty she had.
I suddenly want to call her back, what should I do?
Second Young Master Yan suppressed the strangeness in his heart and listened to her say: "Why are you late?"
He coughed, looked away, and said hesitantly: "No, I'm already here. It's still early, so I went out for a walk..."
"Oh." Xu Yin said without doubting that he was there, "Just in time, I have something to ask you for."
Seeing that she didn't notice, Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, her expression became normal, and she asked with a smile: "What's going on?"
Xu Yin covered his face with a fan and lowered his voice: "I saw Xue Yi entering the alley, and there were two companions, a man and a woman. The Holy Master came to Daguangming Temple today, and nothing can happen. Please send someone to take a look.
"
Yan Ling looked serious and glanced towards the alley.
Obviously he also knew the situation. Young Master Yan had already explored the terrain many times in the capital.
Xu Yin continued: "We have just arrived in the capital not long ago, and the hidden lines haven't been laid out yet. It's not easy to do these things. You should have some people over there, right? I'll give you Chai Qi as well. Find a way to keep an eye on them and don't make trouble.
Something happened."
Yan Ling nodded: "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
After saying that, he stuffed a paper bag in, called Chai Qi and left.
Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time in her previous life, she and her sister were already in the Dongjiang Palace. They were either busy dealing with Li Da or fighting with the Wei family. They had no time to pay attention to outside matters.
She knew that Xue Yi later joined the Yan family, so there should be no danger for his life this time. But after thinking about it carefully, Xue Yi seemed to have had the experience of stabbing his wife. She was not sure whether it was because of the trouble this time or because of Yan Lingduo.
It would be better to keep an eye on him. Maybe Xue Baotou would burst into tears with gratitude at the second Young Master Yan’s move, and would he vote in advance?
"Wow, miss, it's a cherry." Xiaoman's exclamation reached her ears.
Xu Yin came back to his senses and found that it was the paper bag that Yan Ling had stuffed in. It was full of handfuls of cherries, which were so bright and red.
Xiao Sang was surprised: "It's only March now, where did Young Master Yan get the cherries?"
Xiaoman hurriedly held it in front of her: "Miss, eat it quickly."
Xu Yin picked one up and put it into his mouth. The juice was sweet and slightly sour, which was quite appetizing.
She ate half the bag in one go and felt as if she had eaten too much. She stopped and pushed it to them: "You guys can eat."
The two girls looked at each other, each took a few pills, and wrapped them in paper.
"The cherries are not yet on the market. Young Master Yan must have found them with great difficulty. I will keep the rest for the young lady to eat at night."
Xu Yin smiled. Xiao Sang replied, she has been accustomed to the world since she was a child and has always been sensible. Xiao Man is really calm when she goes out this time.
After waiting for a while, the team finally moved. The driver drove the carriage and entered the outer courtyard of Daguangming Temple in order. A young novice came up to meet him, chanted "Buddha", and led Xu Yin inside.
