Liu Qiaoer also raised her teacup: "I also wish you a prosperous career and success in everything."
Lu Yunzheng stayed until dawn before he was willing to leave.
Liu Qiaoer slept from the first day to the second day of the New Year.
Some of the servants in the mansion started working on the third day of the New Year, while others did not return until the fifth day.
With more people, the mansion becomes more lively.
After the third year of junior high school, Liu Qiaoer started visiting friends and began to implement her plans for the new year.
Lu Yunzheng also came to accompany her from time to time, and the days passed by like a stream of flowing water.
It's the first day of the new year again.
Xiaoliu and Hongyuan returned from the palace on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Liu Qiaoer planned to take Xiaoliu to see the lanterns, and Hong Yuan helped Liu Qiaoer choose clothes.
"Have you heard, young lady? The Queen Mother is planning to grant marriage to Princess Mingxin and Master Pei."
Ming Xin is about to marry Pei Yuanhai.
"Oh, that's great. When will the marriage be granted?" Liu Qiaoer asked.
Hong Yuan took a red agate and compared it with Liu Qiaoer's hair: "I don't know, they said it would be in these few days, but General Zhenbei doesn't seem to agree."
Liu Qiao'er was a little surprised: "Why? Isn't General Zhenbei the one who favors Mingxin the most?"
Hong Yuan pouted and inserted the red agate into Liu Qiaoer's hair: "I feel that Mr. Pei is not worthy of her, and General Zhenbei wants Princess Mingxin to marry a military commander."
Liu Qiaoer thought for a moment and said, "Has Mingxin been very close to Pei Yuanhai recently?"
Hong Yuan nodded: "I heard that when Princess Mingxin was celebrating the New Year, she met Master Pei at every friend and relative's house she visited, and Master Pei seemed to like Princess Mingxin very much."
Liu Qiaoer asked again: "Since you like him, why don't you let the Pei family propose directly, or ask the Queen Mother for permission? Pei Yuanshan is at least an assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, so he can meet the Emperor and the Queen Mother, right?"
Hong Yuan paused while styling Liu Qiaoer's hair, as if she was thinking about something.
At this moment, Frost was seen running towards me in a hurry.
"Miss Qiao'er, has our princess come to see you?"
Liu Qiaoer turned around and looked at Shuangjiang, who was breathing heavily, in surprise.
"No, I was wondering, we agreed to spend the New Year together, why haven't I seen her for so many days, could it be that she has forgotten the old one because she has found someone new?"
There are rumors in the capital that Princess Mingxin is very close to Pei Yuanhai, and I'm afraid she has long forgotten about Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer was just joking, and Hong Yuan chuckled, but unexpectedly, Shuangjiang's lips turned a little pale.
"But our princess hasn't returned home for a day..."
"What?" After hearing this news, Liu Qiao'er couldn't laugh anymore. "She's been missing for so long, why didn't she come to find me earlier? When did she disappear? What did she do before she disappeared? Who did she meet?"
Frost looked so guilty that she was about to cry.
"I don't know either. Last night, after dinner, the princess said she wanted to rest, and then I went back to my room. But this morning when I went to wake her up, I found that she was gone."
Liu Qiaoer stood up from the couch in an instant and said anxiously, "Why don't you go and look for him quickly? Go, call everyone in the mansion out to look for him."
In modern times, if someone is missing, you can look for them, and it’s been a day since then.
But just when Liu Qiao'er was anxious, another maid from the Zhenbei Palace ran over in a hurry, full of joy.
"Frost, Frost, stop looking, the princess has gone home, she has already gone home."
Liu Qiao'er was still worried: "Then let's go back together. I also want to invite her to go to the lantern show together."
In the Zhenbei Palace, Princess Mingxin was very happy. Just as she had finished packing, Liu Qiaoer arrived.
Looking at Princess Mingxin's watery eyes, she couldn't help but touch her and said, "You look so good today. I'm afraid you went for a beauty treatment the day you were missing."
Princess Mingxin just smiled and said nothing. Her shy look made Liu Qiaoer confused.
"What's wrong? You look so lusty when you smile."
Unexpectedly, Princess Mingxin blinked her innocent eyes and glared at Liu Qiaoer: "I went on a date with Pei Yuanhai, we..."
Princess Mingxin didn't finish her words, but Liu Qiaoer had already guessed the general idea.
"You two kissed?"
Princess Mingxin smiled and nodded: "Not only that... Pei Yuanhai looks thin, but he has muscles when he takes off his clothes, and he is quite strong."
Liu Qiaoer's smile gradually froze on her face: "You... are together?"
Princess Mingxin smiled brightly, with an indescribable satisfaction. Her clear eyes were a little shy, and she nodded gently: "Seven times, I slept all day."
It turns out that this is what she did when she was missing for a day.
Although Liu Qiaoer respected Princess Mingxin's feelings, she was still a little frightened when she encountered such a thing.
"Mingxin, this is ancient times. Women in ancient times valued chastity. Even if you want to marry him in the future, it's best to be reserved and don't let Pei Yuanhai think you're easy to persuade."
Princess Mingxin thought for a moment and said, "We'll be getting married in a few months anyway, it's only a matter of time."
Liu Qiaoer felt a little tired and didn't know how to persuade her.
If Princess Mingxin was a real ancient woman, she would never do such a casual thing.
But in modern times, there seems to be nothing to worry about. Don't modern women all advocate freedom in love
But even if you are free, you still have to love yourself. Is Pei Yuanhai really someone you can entrust your life to
Forget it, we’re getting married anyway.
Liu Qiaoer asked Princess Mingxin to go with her to see the lanterns again, and Princess Mingxin smelled her sleeve.
"Forget it. I'm so tired today. I won't go. You can ask Lu Yunzheng to go with you. I won't be a light bulb."
Originally, she wanted to go with her best friend, but Princess Mingxin forgot her friends because she had a man. Liu Qiaoer couldn't help but laugh at her for putting love before friendship.
As they were talking, Chun Xiao reminded her: "Qiao'er, the eldest master is here and is waiting for you outside."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunzheng really came, and Princess Mingxin pushed Liu Qiaoer out.
"Just go on your date and leave me alone. Frost, get me some hot water. This county lord wants to take a bath."
Outside the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Lu Yunzheng was still wearing a white cloak, with his black hair tied up on top of his head with a white jade hairpin, and holding a red revolving lantern in his hand.
As soon as he saw Liu Qiaoer, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face.
"I was in the capital last year and didn't accompany you to the Lantern Festival. Today I want to accompany you all night."
Liu Qiaoer and Lu Yunzheng held hands and walked slowly in front.
Qi Ze and Chun Xiao followed behind him. Chun Xiao also had a lantern in her hand, which was bright red and very beautiful.
"The lantern festival in Beijing is much bigger than that in Fengxin County. Fengxin County only has one main street, and it takes about half an hour to walk from the beginning to the end. Beijing is so big, you will be exhausted if you walk around it."
Lu Yunzheng smiled slightly: "We just need to go from here to the bridge in front, get on the flower boat, and follow the flower boat. That's the most lively part."
Liu Qiaoer's eyes lit up. Yes, how could she forget that Zui Le Fang was also very lively today.
"The prince is having a fireworks show at Qiancheng Gate, let's go."
