The most unbearable thing for Hua Jinglan when traveling with He Lianhuai was probably He Lianrong wearing women's clothing, especially after she put it back into women's clothing, she still adhered to the palace education, never showed her teeth, never stepped out of her skirt, and had to do it every morning Seeing her "shy" smile, Hua Jinglan felt that the air was no longer fresh and the sunshine was no longer beautiful.
It's not that she has much objection to He Lianrong's appearance, and she doesn't know which etiquette teacher with a brainless mind gave her this opinion. Wu Dalang pretending to be Pan Jinlian felt as awkward as possible.
"Ugly girl!" Jin'er flew down from upstairs, turned around and made a face at He Lianrong who was chasing him from above. He held a deep grudge against what happened that day at the inn.
In fact, He Lianrong didn't have any bad intentions. She spent a lot of money just to please Jin'er.
He Lianhuai seemed to be very interested in Hua Jinglan's experience, especially the trip to Tiannv City. He asked him several times. Hua Jinglan once asked Qin Fu in private about the purpose of coming to Loulan. Qin Fu only knew that he wanted to meet the Queen and did not reveal anything else.
Except for the bad people hanging around in front of her, Hua Jinglan had a quite pleasant trip. She didn't take Helianhuai's repeated tests to heart. Since he wanted to ask, sooner or later he would Asked.
Not far from Baihua City, the imperial capital of Loulan, Helian Huai finally came to Hua Jinglan with a portrait.
"Master Xue Yue, have you seen the objects in this picture?" He Lianhuai stared at her closely, not wanting to let go of any of her emotions.
Hua Jinglan looked down at the pattern on the painting carefully, raised her eyes, and said with a smile: "Although Bagua pictures can be seen everywhere, I have never seen such exquisite patterns as Master Helian."
He Lian Huai looked disappointed and took back the scroll and said, "Huai Tang is unexpected."
"This ornament must be very important to Master Helian. I will definitely keep an eye on it for you in the future." Hua Jinglan said with a smile.
He Lianhuai couldn't say anything he wanted to ask, so he had to stand up and leave. It wasn't until he and Feng Chen were far away that Hua Jinglan turned around and said to Chun Yuyan, "There really is such a pair of keys in this world."
Chun Yuyan stood up and took out a brocade box from the wooden box, and laid out the things inside one by one, "Moon Silver Hook, Bagua Yin Key, Sandalwood Seven-petal Flower, these three seemingly unrelated things are now It seems like there is no deeper meaning."
"The Houyue Kingdom is looking for the Qiankun Jade, the Liefeng Kingdom is now looking for the Eight Diagrams Two Keys, and the seven-petal sandalwood flower that Shanyou gave me when he died. These things are all connected to the same place." Hua Jinglan He pursed his lips and said.
"Penglai." Chun Yuyan looked at the things on the table and couldn't help but become curious, "In this case, I really want to see where Penglai is."
"I'm curious too," Hua Jinglan looked up at the birds flying outside and said, "Penglai is rumored to be magical. It's a pity that I couldn't find Gu Yan, otherwise I really want to go and see it now."
“Knock knock knock…”
"Sir, the Prime Minister would like you and me to go downstairs. We will arrive at Baihua City in half a day." It was Xiangrong's voice.
Arriving at Baihua City in the evening, Hua Jinglan got off the carriage and heard the lively noises in the city. Mei Er opened the curtains, looked up at the lights on the street, turned around and asked, "What's going on today?" Festival?”
Qin Fu smiled and nodded, "Spring planting is over, time is free, this is the Summer Festival specially prepared for boys and girls in the city."
"Are they blooming and bearing fruit?" Hua Jinglan said with a smile.
"The emperor sent a decree, saying that the young master should take a good walk in Baihua City and there is no need to rush into the palace." Qin Fu turned his head and said to Helianhuai: "His Royal Highness Prince Liefeng, please stay at the official residence tomorrow." You can meet the Holy One early in the morning."
He Lianhuai nodded, then turned his hand towards Hua Jinglan and said, "Master Xue Yue, please take your leave first."
He Lianrong also came forward to bless her and said, "Young Master Xue Yue, see you later."
Hua Jinglan naturally smiled and said, "Princess, take care."
He Lianrong reluctantly left, and Hua Jinglan said goodbye to Qin Fu and Ouyang Bingshu. Then she smiled wildly and said with pretty eyes, "Everyone, I am in a good mood today. You are welcome to eat whatever you want!"
Everyone cheered, especially Jin'er, who immediately pulled Dawu into the crowd.
Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan walked slowly among the people coming and going. The latter said: "This reminds me of the Peach Blossom Festival."
"On the Peach Blossom Festival, you asked me to express my love for you in front of the whole city. Do you have to return it today?" Hua Jinglan crossed her arms and stared at him.
Chunyu Yan faked a cough and said, "There are many people with mixed eyesight, just in case..."
"Nothing goes wrong," Hua Jinglan stepped forward and took his arm to walk to the liveliest place in the city, "Loulan is so far away from Houyue, everyone will be familiar with you, so just accept your fate today! "
Chun Yuyan was held by her and smiled helplessly, but her smile contained doting.
When she walked into the city, she was blocked by people shoulder to shoulder. Hua Jinglan stood on tiptoes and took a look. Surrounding the center of the crowd was a circular platform made of wooden boards. There were hundreds of red purses hanging above the stage, and men kept coming up to grab the purses.
Hua Jinglan looked at it for a while and roughly understood the rules. These purses were sponsored by the government, and contained either money or jewelry. Any couple could sign up to participate. The man would jump up to pick the purses, which was a lot. At least it depends on luck.
She was so playful that she turned to Chun Yuyan and said, "Let's try it too. The one with the highest dangle will be the biggest reward. You must get the one!"
Chun Yuyan used his body to protect her as she walked to the registration place. Before she could say her name, the crowd burst into cheers. Looking back, she saw that Wen Ruyu had picked the highest purse.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen!" Jiaoyue's face was flushed and her eyes were shining with excitement. She was wondering if it was a big bank note, when she took out the contents of her purse and her face fell.
Wen Ruyu also looked down, and it turned out to be Zhang Guan's matchmaking post and ten taels of silver notes. Before he could laugh, an official came up next to him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to you two. You can follow me to the official office to register your names. After the Summer Festival, the Holy Father will personally nominate you in the marriage certificate. .”
The bright moon's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she was a little unable to react. This is a big joke. The emperor of Loulan Kingdom
Wen Ruyu cursed in a low voice. It was because Jiao Yue was greedy for money that he reluctantly came over to pick out the purse. Unexpectedly, he would cause such a thing. He quickly grabbed Jiao Yue's arm and pulled her down the stage. He lowered his voice and said, "Also. What are you waiting for if you don’t leave?”
Jiao Yue was thin-skinned, and in front of so many people, she wanted to seize this opportunity without getting married, so she threw her purse back to the official, covered her face and got into the crowd.
Wen Ruyu followed Jiao Yue back to the team, and Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan also happened to arrive. Hua Jinglan laughed at the two of them, "Look at your backbone. How dare you win a crown just for ten taels of silver?"
This Summer Festival is the same as the Peach Blossom Festival. The first crown is an official media post, and a newlywed couple is waiting.
Gaoyue hid behind Izumo and said angrily: "Young Master will only laugh at me!"
Hua Jinglan turned her gaze to Wen Ruyu and said jokingly: "Then I won't laugh at you, I'll laugh at this incense-hunting thief!"
Wen Ruyu's face was so cold that it could blow away the wind. Ever since he was caught in the glass, let alone stealing love and jade, he even dared not enter a woman's boudoir while wearing a mask. He was afraid that if others saw him, he would yell out in vain. Ruined his reputation!
This incident was difficult to digest, and the group laughed from beginning to end. After leaving the main street, they headed to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wen Ruyu was originally walking in front, but slowly fell to the end.
Although it was busy here, it didn't mean that Hua Jinglan and the others didn't know that someone was following them. Turning around and seeing Wen Ruyu's preoccupied look, Hua Jinglan asked in a low voice, "Is he looking for you?"
Wen Ruyu nodded with a heavy face.
"Are you sure?" Hua Jinglan said in a leisurely tone, as if she was asking about the moonlight tonight.
"Because there is none," Wen Ruyu said confidently, "That's why I came to seek refuge with you."
Hua Jinglan rolled her eyes at him, "Who came back and said that I gave the golden spider silk to Yan Qing without keeping my word?"
Wen Ruyu said sternly: "Golden spider silk is something outside the body. Things outside the body will not be taken with you until you live or die." If it weren't for the sake of asking for her, he would have snatched his own things back the first time he saw Wen Zhuoyi. Got it!
"Hmm." Hua Jinglan was quite satisfied with this, smiled and said: "It's not impossible for me to help you. You still owed me 20,000 taels of silver last time, so just double your offer this time. "
Wen Ruyu felt the blood surge in her chest, forty thousand? She might as well grab it!
Hua Jinglan pointed behind her with her eyes and said, "There are quite a few people coming. It depends on your decision."
Gritting her teeth, Wen Ruyu nodded heavily and said, "Lead the people outside the city."
Hua Jinglan snapped her fingers, "No problem."
After saying that, he turned to Chunyu Yan and said, "Ms. sir, would you like to come with me?"
Chunyu Yan touched her hair and said with a smile, "I won't go. I'll leave early and come back early."
Hua Jinglan smiled and nodded. He could just go back and warm her bed!
