Chapter 137: The Lantern Festival (I)


The next morning, Shen Yinqiu and Wan Qiyan had breakfast and went to Qixingyuan again.

This time, the eldest princess did not stop them from entering, and the guards outside the courtyard also left.

Shen Yinqiu sniffed the smell in the courtyard.

She didn't know if it was for psychological reasons, but she still smelled a faint smell.

The smell of blood.

As soon as he stepped into the house, the smell of medicine hit his nostrils.

It had only been one night.

Shen Yinqiu thought to himself how many decoctions Wan Qisheng had been used to.

The two of them said hello to the prince and princess.

Shen Yinqiu ignored the unkind gaze of the eldest princess and observed their complexions overtly and covertly.

It seemed that the two of them had stayed up all night watching over Wan Qisheng.

Wan Qiyan asked about Wan Qisheng's situation, and the prince answered him.

The eldest princess looked down at Wan Qisheng with a cold face, her eyes full of worry.

For a while, the only sound in the room was the conversation between the prince and his son.

Shen Yinqiu seized the opportunity to look at Wan Qisheng, who only showed one face.

The second young master of the Hou family, who was usually a fool to tease others, was lying on the hospital bed obediently.

His cheeks were a little flushed, and his lips were bloodless and even a little dry.

Those attractive eyes The peach blossom eyes were tightly closed and dull.

However, despite this, her beauty has not diminished, and she has turned into a weak and sick beauty.

Shen Yinqiu observed that Wan Qisheng did not forget to listen to the prince's words, and learned that Wan Qisheng was fine, and he only needed to rest well until he recovered.

She felt inexplicably relieved, even though she was not very concerned about Wan Qisheng's life and death.

After asking, Wan Qiyan glanced at the unconscious Wan Qi Sheng, and then resigned under the eldest princess's eyes full of disgust and vigilance.

After leaving the Qixing Courtyard, Shen Yinqiu touched her chin and asked, "What have you done to make the eldest princess taboo?

She is more wary of you than before."

Before, she had always been aloof and did not take Wan Qisheng seriously.

Wan Qiyan was already immune to her keenness, and she smiled and said, "Maybe I told her Wan Qisheng's whereabouts, which made her feel uncomfortable."

"Hey, you found him first.

Who did he offend?

Three ribs were broken and a knife was stabbed in the abdomen."

Shen Yinqiu said, recalling what the prince had just said.

"I don't know, she won't let it go.

If I intervene, she will probably be suspicious of my handwriting."

Wan Qisheng said.

"No need to intervene, I think she is already suspicious now.

It was you who discovered it first.

The human hand aspect is enough to make her uncomfortable.

You used to pretend to be so weak, but now that you have taken off this label, you have to make people speculate.

"She suddenly leaned into his ear and said, "After all, even the prince is attracted to you."

Wan Qiyan's footsteps were stagnant, and he looked deeply back at Shen Yinqiu, who was smiling happily, "Madam, it's better to pay attention to the words you use."

Shen Yinqiu blinked and nodded obediently and innocently, "Are you angry?"

"Yes."

Wan Qiyan said.

Shen Yinqiu sighed, "They all said that you were not in good health before and should not have mood swings.

I have never seen you angry.

I think it would be an achievement if I could make you angry.

What do you think?"

Wan Qiyan smiled and looked at her tenderly.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yinqiu fainted, "I won't say anything anymore, don't look at me like this, I'm so scared."

Wan Qiyan: "" He looked at her so tenderly, so why did he panic?

Shen Yinqiu glanced at Wan Qiyan, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he looked back.

She vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside, and then remembered that today was the Thousand Lantern Festival, and it must be very lively outside.

Shen Yinqiu looked at the high wall and said, "Today is the Thousand Lantern Festival."

Wan Qiyan hummed, "I want to go out and have a look."

"I think."

Shen Yinqiu nodded, "I wonder what the difference is from the lantern festival in Jiangnan."

"Shen Shi will accompany you out."

Shen Yinqiu cheered and said yes again and again.

Suddenly he thought of Qian Guang and said with some uncertainty: "Qian Guang really took care of Qingye for two or three days and she didn't even have time to come back to see me."

Wan Qiyan took her for a walk along the lakeside path, "Don't you feel that you are too dependent on the maid around you?"

Shen Yinqiu was confused and silent.

Is there any?

Yes, a little.

We grew up together and have a deep friendship.

Wan Qiyan saw that she didn't seem to think it was a big deal and didn't say anything more.

Shen Yinqiu didn't understand what Wan Qiyan was asking her maid to do, but seeing that his lips were tightly closed and he looked like he didn't want to speak, she naturally didn't ask again.

She just wanted to know what Qian Guang was doing.

When it came to Shenshi, Wan Qiyan did not break his promise and went out with Qingzhu and two strange and handsome boys.

Since it was still early, the lantern festival was naturally the most lively at night.

They did not ask for a carriage, but walked to the main street.

Among the five, only Shen Yinqiu walked the slowest.

Wan Qiyan slowed down her pace.

After she caught up, she would gradually fall one or two steps behind.

Wan Qiyan looked at her breathing heavier, thought for a moment, then took her hand and led her away, "This way you won't be afraid of losing it."

Shen Yinqiu didn't struggle not to let him hold her.

After all, they were both married couples, not to mention that the other party didn't do it, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

She felt that she had saved some effort by letting Wan Qiyan lead her away.

Shen Yinqiu no longer looked at the road, but instead looked at the mansions along the way.

He usually drove out in a carriage, so it was really difficult for him to have such a wide field of vision.

She was led by Wan Qiyan.

Although she was a step or two behind, the two young men and Qingzhu no longer dared to walk in front of her.

They all slowed down and followed Shen Yinqiu.

Qingzhu walked a little ahead of the two boys, almost in sync with Shen Yinqiu, but there was an arm's length distance between them.

Shen Yinqiu knew that Qingzhu would look at her from time to time.

She saw the right opportunity and pretended to look into the distance.

When Qingzhu stared at her again, she suddenly stared at her.

Shen Yinqiu narrowed his eyes and smiled, mouthing silently: "What are you looking at?"

Qingzhu glanced at her, pretending he hadn't seen her, and then took a peek at Wan Qiyan's back.

Seeing that he didn't look back, he completely ignored Shen Yinqiu and lowered his head.

Shen Yinqiu didn't want to argue with her at this time, so he continued to look at the surrounding environment and write down these routes.

When we arrived on the street, there was a lot of people and there were two red lanterns hung in front of each stall to match the occasion.

They were unified and lined up in rows, which was pleasing to the eye.

Shen Yinqiu swept away the fatigue from the walk, broke free from Wan Qiyan's hand, and took the lead to go to the nearest lantern stand.

Next to each lantern is a vivid mask.

Shen Yinqiu touches this one and touches that one.

The stall owner is happy and not annoyed, and lets her look at it.

If she likes it, she will give it away for free.

Shen Yinqiu exclaimed and said curiously: "Is it free for you today?

Thank you."

The vendor was a middle-aged man with a broad nose and a big face.

He laughed at Shen Yinqiu and said, "Not all of them are given for free.

It depends on fate.

The girl is beautiful, so why not give it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bag of silver was thrown in front of the hawker.

There was a clang sound, which scared the hawker.

Wan Qiyan walked up to Shen Yinqiu, put his arm around her shoulders, and said with a smile: "If the stall owner doesn't spend the money, it won't be anyone else's turn to pay for what my wife wants."

The hawker looked a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, glanced at Shen Yinqiu, and muttered: "So he is married, why is he still wearing a girly bun after getting married?"

Shen Yinqiu didn't hear clearly, "Well, what did you say?"

Just as the hawker was about to say something, the boy on the side silently revealed the sword on his waist, raised it with his thumb, and unsheathed the sharp blade silently.

Good guy, the hawker immediately straightened his face and said seriously: "I tell you, this mask is paired with a lantern.

Five pennies"

Shen Yinqiu looked back at Qingzhu and the two young men standing upright.

He found nothing strange and then turned back to look at the masks.

Why did the stall owner suddenly become so arrogant and attentive?

The hawker pulled the clothes behind him to let some air out, and broke out in a cold sweat.

What kind of person was he?

He would kill anyone with a knife just by saying a word.

Don't blame Shen Yinqiu for being ignorant.

She rarely sees copper coins.

The five cents she has seen at least are broken pieces of silver.

She had lived a comfortable life since she was a child, with food, drink and clothing.

Mrs.

Liu had really never treated her badly.

Moreover, there were many people today, and Qian Yun was left in the house by Wan Qiyan for fear of an accident, and was not allowed to follow him.

She was a little uncomfortable without Qianyun by her side.

However, being rare doesn't mean that you can't count.

Shen Yinqiu silently squeezed the money bag in his arms.

The stall owner would be a little confused when he took out the money and couldn't find it.

Seeing her lost in thought, Wan Qiyan leaned over and asked, "Do you have anyone you like?"

Shen Yinqiu also came closer: "What should I do if I don't have any change?"

"I have it."

Wan Qiyan pointed to the bag of money on the hawker stall.

Shen Yinqiu said assuredly: "Then you lend it to me first, and I will return it to you when you get home."

Without waiting for Wan Qiyan's reply, she said to the stall owner: "I don't want a lantern, just two masks."

The hawker subconsciously blurted out: "No, I sell them all in matching sets.

If you take away the mask, how can I sell my lanterns?"

"Are you selling masks or lanterns?"

Qingzhu said coldly, staring at the vendor.

The hawker immediately stopped talking.

I am free to sell whatever I want.

Who is this powerful family?

They are so unreasonable.

Shen Yinqiu asked Qingzhu: "Do you want to wear a mask?"

Qingzhu was about to say no, but his master glanced up, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Thank you, madam, for the reward."

Shen Yinqiu was happy, and blinked at Wan Qiyan with some pride.

She knew that Qingzhu wanted it for his sake, and it was the most fun to do so unwillingly.

Shen Yinqiu tilted her head to look at the two boys behind Wan Qiyan, "Do you want to take them too?"

The two young men immediately shook their heads honestly, "Thank you madam, I don't need to take the little one with me."

Shen Yinqiu muttered, "Okay," and picked up the money bag from the vendor.

It was full of copper coins, and it was quite heavy.

She chose a monkey-faced, pig-faced, and fox-faced mask, and asked the vendor: "I'll give you ten cents, but don't you want a lantern?"

Seeing that she was easy to talk to, the hawker became bolder again, "No, I have to pay you fifteen cents.

If you want to buy the mask, it will not be easy to sell the lantern."

Shen Yinqiu pinched the money bag and smiled and said: "Your mask is so good.

The lanterns tied together only cost five cents.

Today's main item is the lantern.

Counting the price of it and the lantern half, it's two and a half cents.

Three of them only cost seven cents."

"If I give you three more coins, you can buy an extra lantern."

The hawker frowned for a long time, and seemed to think that what she said was reasonable, but he still defended in a low voice: "I originally wanted to tie them together and sell them
