The carriage quickly drove out of the palace, and in an instant, it was outside the palace. Fortunately, Lord Chu's mansion was not far from the palace, and it didn't make the nobles in the carriage bump for a long time.
"County Lord, we're here!" Huaizhu was cheerful like a deer, and Ji Yueqin was in a good mood when he saw it.
Everyone got off the carriage, only Nan Xuanyu's expression was not very good, and the rest of the people could not see any expressions.
Master Chu was waiting in front of the mansion for everyone to arrive, and even the Qian Shi dressed up today to greet everyone at the door.
"Wei Chen has seen your highnesses and Anning County Master." Master Chu and the family members of the Chu family saluted towards everyone.
As the prince, Nan Xuanyu was also the eldest in the group, so naturally, he should be used as a role model.
Nan Xuanyu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Master Chu, you don't need to be more polite, this time this palace is just going out to play with the princes and county masters. It's not a big deal, so don't be so cautious."
Qian Shi immediately replied: "His Royal Highness has a kind heart and a concubine body is really admirable."
Ji Yueqin looked at Qian's face, and felt a bit funny in her heart. An aunt jumped out to speak, which made Master Chu really embarrassed.
Sure enough, Lord Chu looked at Qian Shi's appearance, frowned, and yelled at her: "I'm talking to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can you be a woman who can interrupt, so don't hurry back."
When Qian Shi was drunk by her husband, she stepped aside with a pale face and did not dare to make a sound.
"His Royal Highness forgive me, Aunt Qian is a woman and does not know the etiquette. I hope His Highness will not take offense." Master Chu said a little embarrassed.
"Oh, it turned out to be an aunt, I don't understand the etiquette at all." Duan Zhilan rolled her eyes aside, her tone full of disdain.
"Okay, don't talk about Zhilan." Nan Xuanyu frowned and glanced at Duan Zhilan, then smiled and said to Lord Chu, "It's okay, just come out for a walk, don't care so much about etiquette."
Seeing that Nan Xuanyu didn't pursue it, Master Chu was relieved, so he said to Nan Xuanyu again: "So, your highness and the county master will go into the room and rest for a while."
Nan Xuanyu looked at Ji Yueqin, but declined Lord Chu's kindness, "No, we had breakfast in the palace, and now we want to leave the palace for a walk, so we don't bother Lord Chu anymore."
Lord Chu nodded and continued: "So, why don't you let the little girl take her highness and the county master to visit Du'an City."
Nan Xuanyu looked at Duan Zhilan, who was on the side. Anyway, there was no way he could get along with Ji Yueqin alone now. It wouldn't be a problem if there were more people, so he nodded and agreed to Master Chu's request.
So Chu Qingtang, Chu Xiangyue, and Chu Xiangyu joined Nan Xuanyu's party, and the handsome men and beauties were amazing. However, before leaving the Chu Mansion, Nan Xuanyu took out a veil from where to give it to Ji Yueqin.
"Sister Yue, there is a lot of wind and sand outside the palace, so you should bring a silk scarf." Nan Xuanyu said to Ji Yueqin gently.
Originally, Dayu's folk customs were open, and there was no custom of women wearing veils on the streets, but Nan Xuanyu didn't want others to see Ji Yueqin's beauty, so he came up with such a method.
Ji Yueqin smiled at him gently, like a gentle breeze in spring, making everyone amazed. However, in the eyes of several princes and Chu Qingtang, it was amazing, and in the eyes of the Chu sisters and Duan Zhilan, it was only disdain.
Especially Duan Zhilan, looking at Ji Yueqin, her eyes were about to burst into flames.
Ji Yueqin put on a veil, leaving only a pair of smart eyes, which added a bit of aura to Ji Yueqin.
Duan Zhilan was dissatisfied now, and hurriedly said to Nan Xuanyu: "Prince cousin, I can't stand the sandstorm either, I also want a veil."
Nan Xuanyu frowned, "The veil just now was given to Sister Yue. If you want to wear a veil, go to the cloth shop in front and buy one."
Duan Zhilan was stunned when she heard it. She didn't expect Nan Xuanyu to reject her like this, and she didn't react for a while.
Immediately, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at Nan Xuanyu delicately.
Nan Xuanyu was not looking at her at all, which made Duan Zhilan even more angry.
Chu Qingtang hugged Ji Yueqin's hand affectionately, and said happily, "Yueqin, do you know, the sweet-scented osmanthus candy in Xinghua Street is delicious. And I heard that there will be a lantern festival on the street tonight!"
"Lantern Festival? What is that?" Huaizhu probed his head from the side, listening to what Chu Qingtang said, he was very curious.
"It's the annual Lantern Festival. Different from the Lantern Festival, the current Lantern Festival is specially held to celebrate the harvest. It is said that putting down lotus lanterns by the river will bring good weather and rain in the coming year, and at the same time will realize what you want in your heart. Think!" Chu Qingtang said softly.
"Wow, then I have to make a good wish! Bless my county... Miss happiness!" Huaizhu smiled innocently.
Chu Qingtang and Ji Yueqin also smiled slightly when they saw Huaizhu's lovely appearance.
"What are the two young ladies laughing at?" Nan Xuanlin saw the two of them smiling happily, and hurriedly came forward.
"Qingtang is talking to me about the lantern festival." Ji Yueqin looked at Nan Xuanlin and smiled.
When Nan Xuanlin heard it, he suddenly smiled evilly, and quickly said: "It is said that this place where the lights are placed requires a man and a woman to have the same wish to come true?"
"The same wish? I'm afraid this is unlikely, right?" Chu Qingtang said in disbelief.
"Hehe, it's just some folklore, does Miss Chu really believe it? If Miss Chu doesn't mind, why not let the two of us set off the lights together at night, and then go to Yicuilou to have a good drink..." Nan Xuanlin spoke frivolously, but Chu Qingtang shyly hid by Ji Yueqin's side.
Nan Xuanyu has been paying attention to Ji Yueqin's side. Seeing that Nan Xuanlin was teasing Chu Qingtang, he also came to help the two and said, "Second brother, don't be rude to Miss Chu. Although this is outside the palace, It can’t be made a second time.”
Nan Xuanlin saw that Nan Xuanyu was going to come to teach again, and felt bored, and walked to sister Chu Xiangyue's side again, not knowing what to say.
Because Chu Qingtang is Ji Yueqin's good friend, Nan Xuanyu couldn't just sit back and watch, so Nan Xuanyu said to Chu Qingtang warmly, "Miss Chu, don't take it to heart, the second brother has always been like this, and offended Miss Chu. , I hope you don't blame me."
Chu Qingtang shook her head, obviously not blaming Nan Xuanlin, but the blush on her face made her look a bit charming.
Now that there are more and more people on the street, these rich and powerful nobles are particularly conspicuous on the street, not to mention that their appearance is not better than that of ordinary people, and their aura is even more extraordinary, so many people pass by. Look a few times.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred, and a little beggar rushed to their side, quickly stole Duan Zhilan's purse, and ran in the opposite direction.
