Although Lingsu was pitted, but now is not the time to discuss this, Gu Lian silently swallowed a mouthful of blood and decided to celebrate the festival first. A good festival can't be ruined by that annoying liar, so Gu Lian told Qiao Mingyu very calmly—
"My mother is an old grandmother, and it is unlikely that she will have a younger brother, but there is a grand-nephew as big as the Taoist priest Tonglingsu. She is her niece-in-law when she was fourteen years old. My mother's mother said that the child He looks very handsome, and there is a birthmark on his upper arm, which is a regular square surrounded by four small moles."
Gu Lian told Qiao Mingyu in a joking tone. Qiao Mingyu looked complicated and said in surprise, "Lingsu has this kind of birthmark on his forearm."
That was what Qiao Mingyu saw by chance when Lingsu ripped off the whole sleeve of the tube to apply medicine after Lingsu blocked an arrow for her brother a year ago. Very little is known about this, Gu Lian should not have lied to her.
"So Lingsu is your nephew?" Qiao Mingyu was puzzled, "Then why did he tell me that?"
Gu Lian shook his head: "Maybe I'm younger than him. He's afraid that he will lose face by saying that I am his aunt."
Qiao Mingyu agreed.
So this question was just revealed. As for who is the elder... Gu Lian sneered, she would make Lingsu good, good, clear, clear.
"Let's not mention this for now." Qiao Mingyu rinsed his mouth and drank a cup of tea, "The most exciting event of the Cloud Picking Festival is at night, but during the day it is dull. Alian, you have a sweetheart, if you don't have it, come with me."
There are activities in the palace at the moment, but Qiao Mingyu is impatient to participate. If she stayed in the palace, the imperial concubine would definitely invite some young talents to come over for a banquet. Knowing that she doesn't like dealing with those people, the imperial concubine prefers to fight against her.
However, the other party used the guise of finding a good man for Qiao Mingyu, and even the emperor agreed.
Qiao Mingyu simply avoided the palace. She felt that it would be better to accompany Gu Lian to read a book in the palace than in the palace.
Gu Lian naturally didn't appreciate anyone, she readily agreed to Qiao Mingyu's proposal, and promised to go out with her to watch the lanterns at night. The boudoir girl was bored all day, and finally got a little lively, so she had to go and see it.
I heard that there will be some strange activities at the lantern festival at night. For example, the young lady who guessed the same mystery will get the same lantern. If you meet someone who has the same lantern on the road, it is a fate. This illogical activity has really contributed to a lot of talents and beauties, so it has been a game that everyone is keen on at the lantern festival. The embarrassment of "colliding with the lights" is inevitable. Every family has made great efforts to innovate, and strive to make different finished products even if they are the same kind of lanterns.
Lan Xiang was the youngest, and she used to stay at home. When she heard about this event for the first time, she became curious: "If many people guessed the same riddle in the same shop, wouldn't many people get the same lantern? Is it?" In this case, what is destined to say
Thinking of this, Lan Xiang frowned.
Qiao Mingyu, who was sitting on the side leisurely flipping through the travel notes, smiled and rubbed her head: "Silly girl."
Lan Xiang stiffened and didn't dare to move, and looked pitifully at her lady for help.
"Use your brain first and think about it." Gu Lian watched Qiao Mingyu touch Lanxiang's head, feeling a little unhappy for some reason. She pretended to pat Lan Xiang on the head with the fan in her hand, and Qiao Mingyu really withdrew her hand to avoid colliding with the fan.
Lan Xiang was completely unaware of these small movements, both overtly and covertly, and after thinking hard for a long time, she shook her head helplessly.
Gu Lian looked at her with a smile: "Actually, what is destined to be unique? If you really find lanterns like lanterns in the crowd on the street, you won't be able to find them with your eyes! So each lantern has at least ten men and ten women. Take it, let's see who is lucky enough to meet each other. Otherwise, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, how would it be possible to meet?"
In fact, there is one thing Gu Lian didn't say, most people don't really stare at the lanterns to find the same, but stare at the faces. When you see what you like, then look down to see what he is holding, so there has never been a story of two people who hate each other and get the same lantern. The entire Huaijing is so big, no matter how a lantern festival, there will always be a person who happens to meet a person who sees the same lantern in the same eye, so the story spreads more and more widely.
Some people say that these lanterns have magical powers, so they can promote the two people's love, which is completely nonsense.
Lan Xiang, who learned the truth, let out a sigh, her ideal was disillusioned.
Zhuxiang couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing at her, even believing the story in the book. Lan Xiang had a good temper and ignored her. If Mei Xiang had been there, she would have been waiting for her to pull her ears.
Qiao Mingyu watched Gu Lian interact with the maids with great interest, and suddenly felt that such a day was very interesting. Compared with this in the palace, it was completely dark.
After lunch in the evening, Qiao Mingyu and Gu Lian changed their clothes one after another. Qiao Mingyu didn't like to wear women's clothes very much, so she simply changed into men's clothes, which also prevented those noble sons who recognized her at a glance from coming over and courting her. In the past, Qiao Mingyu wore women's clothes when she was in the palace or at banquets. She only wore men's clothes in private to show off in the market, and she was never recognized. It was really convenient.
Anxie looked at it carefully for a while, and it was indeed a little different from Qiao Mingyu's appearance in the past. The most conspicuous thing is that the temperament has changed. If women's clothing is a noble and casual princess, men's clothing is a stern and steady young general.
Seeing Gu Lian a little uncomfortable, Qiao Mingyu walked over awkwardly and said to Gu Lian, "Let's go, the lantern festival is about to start."
This time the guards didn't keep up, but the hidden guards were all hidden around, so there should be no need to worry about safety issues. There would be many accidents at the lantern festival, so the army's soldiers were specially adjusted to maintain order. It's just that there will be a little surprise in the place where there are people. Gu Lian and Qiao Mingyu were walking together, but suddenly there was a crowd, and the two of them dispersed.
It's the same as in the dog blood romance, the hero and heroine will always get separated for various reasons, and then there will be a scene where the person suddenly looks back at the dim light. Although the story is very old-fashioned, it can't bear readers to eat this set.
Gu Lian walked forward with a blank face. Anyway, there were a few girls guarding her, and a team of secret guards followed, not afraid of accidents. The topography of the capital is simple, so she won't get lost, so she just needs to go home first.
Thinking of this, Gu Lian was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly discovered a problem that she had ignored.
fan! road!
My god, she's a lunatic!
Gu Lian couldn't hold back a long sigh. When it was over, the princess was lost in the streets and alleys of the capital. She no longer complains about the clichés of those storylines. I beg God to let her and the princess meet unexpectedly even though they are not male and female protagonists!
Fortunately, there are hidden guards beside the princess, but I was afraid that the princess would die and suffer, so she refused to tell the hidden guards that she could not find the way. In general novels, the hidden guards seem to be a little careless. If the master doesn't say anything, he won't do anything unnecessary, eh, thinking about it will give you a headache and worry to death.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Lian instructed the three girls beside her, "If you see the princess in a while, be sure to tell me right away."
"Yes, miss." The girls were also a little panicked. There are too many people here, and the consequences of a stampede accident are unimaginable. Without the princess with strong martial arts by her side, although she knew that her young lady's strength was not bad, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart.
As soon as he came, he was at ease. After Gu Lian assigned the task to the maid, he relaxed and began to enjoy the lanterns.
There are all kinds of lanterns hanging in front of the surrounding booths, and they are all dazzling and colorful. Gu Lian thinks they are very beautiful, and he hesitates to buy one.
"Not for sale." The hawker waved his hand, "If you really like it, you can guess the riddle, and you can take it away if you get it right."
You have to pay money for guessing, and you have to pay once for guessing. No matter if you guess right or not, the money will not be refunded. This is the old rule and must be followed.
Gu Lian looked at the pedestrians on the left and right and basically raised the lights. She didn't look good with empty hands, so she decided to guess. So she pointed to the lantern she wanted to buy and said, "What is this riddle?"
Zhu Xiang, who was beside him, hurried over to pay the money. The hawker smiled and said, "The wood chips under the lantern are two-layered. When the surface is uncovered, there are riddles written in it. You can just read it, Miss."
Gu Lian took a closer look, it was true. I thought it was a decoration, but it turned out to be a riddle.
I saw a few lines on the wood chips: light fragrance floating in water, butterflies falling green, looking forward to calm, flowers and shadows self-pity.
The author has something to say: I didn't find a suitable riddle, so I can only make up my own, so sad
