The girl was wearing a lake blue cloak, with long hair like ink, and a coral red tree crown on her head. The golden leaves hanging down collided with each other, shining a luxurious light. Her pretty face was slightly raised, and her face was full of arrogance.
As soon as Wen Chan saw her, the image of the girl with a fully mature face leaning against him and calling Your Majesty coquettishly appeared in Wen Chan's mind—Zhao Pingshi, Zhao Chengbo's prostitute, when he was about to die in his previous life, he even mentioned it to her. She is known as the only imperial concubine in the harem.
But in fact, among all the concubines in the harem, Wen Chan annoyed her the most.
At this time, she was still young, but the arrogance and contempt in her bones were undoubtedly revealed. In her previous life, she was favored in the harem for several years. Only Queen Jiang could control her. After Queen Jiang died, Wen Chan raised the deer festival. With incense as the queen, Lu Jiexiang tried his best not to let Zhao Pingshi's tail go up to the sky.
When everyone was still lamenting Zhao Pingshi's luxury and wealth, Wen Chan said lightly, "Girl, this lantern riddle is mine. If you want to guess, you have to do it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Pingshi gave him a fierce look, "You can't guess it yourself, why don't others tell?"
When Ah Fu heard this, he was so angry that he pinched his waist and said in a sharp voice, "Who said my son can't guess it? It's just that you beat me to it. I don't know which girl you are from. You have such a sharp mouth, why don't you go?" Storytelling in the teahouse?"
Zhao Pingshi has always been pampered and has a fiery temper. When she heard Ah Fu's words, she immediately became angry, "Bold slave! If you dare to talk to Miss Ben like that, I have to ask which family slave you are from. How dare you be so lawless!"
As the two came and went, their voices raised a lot, and the lively scene became even more lively when they quarreled. Everyone stepped back for fear of getting into trouble, and stood aside to watch the excitement.
The little maid beside Zhao Pingshi added fuel to the fire, "Miss, don't be as knowledgeable as this kind of untouchable, so as not to lower your status."
Ah Fu grew up around Wen Chan since his childhood. Even the people in the palace would respectfully address Ah Fu as father-in-law Fu when they met. He was never called a pariah. Still standing aside, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and looked at him aggrieved.
Wen Chan said indifferently, "Girl, you can't talk nonsense. Is it possible that everyone in this world is a pariah except your Zhao family?"
Zhao Pingshi's huge hat was pressed on Zhao Pingshi's head, and she was speechless for a while, then she waved her hands and said arrogantly, "Boss stall, I want your lotus lantern. If you don't sell me, I will sell it to you." Then call someone to smash your stall!"
The stall owner's face changed, he didn't expect the girl to be so unreasonable, but she didn't dare to resist, so she froze on the spot.
Zhao Pingshi saw that he was unresponsive and about to have a seizure, but suddenly heard a clapping sound, she looked for her reputation, and saw a handsome young man in blue and white coming from outside the crowd clapping his hands, and said with a smile, "Okay A hot girl, if people don't sell you lanterns, you will smash their stalls, wonderful, wonderful!"
Wen Chan froze, and it was Liang Yanbei again, meeting him for the second time tonight.
There was obvious sarcasm in his words, but Zhao Pingshi was not annoyed when she heard it, but smiled a little shyly, "You made Mr. Liang laugh."
Beside Liang Yanbei stood a few young men of similar age, one of them was Liang Shuhong. After seeing Wen Chan, his eyes showed surprise, but he soon calmed down, walked over with a smile, and whispered to Wen Chan. He said, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Although His Majesty's voice was not loud, everyone who was closer heard it. Zhao Pingshi turned pale and stared at Wen Chan in panic.
Wen Chan responded in a low voice, "I have nothing to do, I want to have some fun."
Beside Liang Yanbei was a young man in yellow, who sneered at Zhao Pingshi and said, "Miss Zhao, you are so brave to say that His Highness the Ninth Prince is a pariah."
Wen Chan was familiar with the people beside Liang Yanbei this time. This young man in yellow was the second son of the Xie family, Xie Zhaoxue.
Xie Zhaoxue was born in a direct descendant, talented and intelligent, originally a promising talent, but it was a pity that he was assassinated while fighting against the enemy outside the Northern Great Wall with Liang Yan. Later, his concubine younger brother Xie Yu was very powerful and became the most powerful man in Xiliang. prime minister.
After Wen Chan buried Xie Zhaoxue, Liang Yanbei set up a tablet for him, and sat alone in front of the tablet for a day and a night.
As the past passed, Wen Chan raised his eyes and saw Xie Zhaoxue alive, his every move coincided with the appearance in his memory.
Zhao Pingshi was proud of being favored by her parents, but she also knew the difference in rank between the royal family and the officials. When she heard that the pretty young man in front of her was called the Ninth Prince, her face turned pale, and she bent her knees in front of several pairs of eyes. Kneeling face to face in front of Wen Chan, "Your Highness Ninth, I hope that your highness will not blame you for your daughter's outrageous remarks!"
As soon as she knelt down, the maid next to her who really said that Wen Chan was a pariah couldn't stand anymore, she fell on the ground and shivered, as if she was terribly frightened.
None of the people watching the excitement had thought that this girl-like person was the aloof Ninth Prince, and they were all silent for a while.
Wen Chan knew that Zhao Pingshi had always been able to bend and stretch, so he was not surprised, he just said, "Forgive you, but that maid of yours doesn't know how to be polite, and her words are harsh, you have to clean up after you go back, if I see you on the street next time If you are so savage, you will never forgive him lightly."
Zhao Pingshi repeatedly said yes, the servant girl knew what she was up to, and she cried loudly in fright in the street, "Your Highness! Your Highness! It's the servant girl who deserves to die, please spare the servant girl!"
Since you deserve to die, why beg for mercy? Wen Chan's past life and present life combined, he was already tired of hearing such words, he felt that the maid's voice was extremely noisy, and he lost interest in the lotus lantern, so he turned and left, A Fu and Qin Qi Shu Hua followed closely behind him.
"Your Highness Ninth Prince." Liang Yanbei called from behind, "It's so lively today, it's boring for you to go shopping alone, why don't we hang out together as a companion?"
He was really afraid that something would happen, he paused, then turned his head and said, "No, I'm not used to playing with... strangers."
The word "stranger" was almost stuck in his throat, and he looked like he was refusing to be far away. After speaking, he left straight away, not giving Liang Yanbei a chance to stay.
After leaving, Wen Chan's mind was in a mess and he was in a daze.
In the previous life, Liang Yanbei joined the army at the age of seventeen, and then practiced martial arts in the martial arts arena in the capital. He was named "General Zhenbei", and then he taught in the martial arts hall in the capital. Wen Chan was arranged by the emperor to study because of his poor martial arts skills.
The real intersection with Liang Yanbei was when Wen Chan was eighteen years old, that is to say, it should be three years later, but he did not expect to be reborn, and unexpectedly moved their encounter three years earlier. If you want to hide, you will be self-defeating.
Wen Chan reached out and rubbed his cold cheeks, comforting himself in his heart, it's okay, anyway, Liang Yanbei will join the army when the spring begins, so don't panic.
"My lord, we've arrived at Donghu Bridge." Ah Fu whispered in his ear.
Wen Chan looked up, and he saw the crowded East Lake Bridge. The upper and lower sides of the bridge were full of sky lantern releasers. They wrote down their wishes on the sky lanterns, lit them and let them fly, bringing their wishes to the sky. , Show those gods to see.
The entire night sky is beautifully decorated with starry sky lanterns, and as far as the eye can see, there are sky lanterns floating in the sky.
Wen Chan was in a happy mood instantly, and he said to Qin Qi, "Go and buy four sky lanterns, one for each of us."
Qinqi knew that this kind of errand work was his own, and he had already prepared the money. As soon as Wen Chan gave an order, he immediately squeezed into the crowd, and by virtue of his height, he bought four sky lanterns and came back.
Someone set up a table next to the sky lantern for ink and ink. Ten copper plates used one ink pen. Qin Qi ran to buy a brush and returned, and handed it to Wen Chan first.
Wen Chan shook his head, "I don't need it, give me a fire bag."
Ah Fu asked suspiciously, "Master, don't you write your prayers?"
"Wish is free in the heart, it doesn't matter whether you write or not." He slowly unfolded the sky lantern, "Besides, I'm too lazy to write with a pen."
"But if you don't write it, the gods can't see it." Ah Fu said.
Qin Qi stuffed the brush to him, "Young master, if you don't write, you won't write. You can write first, don't talk too much."
Ah Fu was still muttering, and reached out to take the brush and began to write seriously on the sky lantern, but just after writing, suddenly the crowd of people spread to him, and the ink was all over the sky lantern, Ah Fu Furious, just as he was about to swear, the surroundings were crowded again. He was so frightened that he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly looked for Wen Chan, "Young Master! Young Master!"
Wen Chan was right behind him, and when he heard his yell, he quickly answered, "I'm here." He wanted to approach the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was crowded to the side of the bridge. An open space to catch my breath.
As soon as he stood close to the end of the bridge, he heard a coquettish cry, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a luxuriously dressed girl squeezed into the crowd, her beautiful hair and face messed up.
There it is, Jiang Yueying.
Wen Chan originally thought that he would not meet her tonight, after all, he left half an hour early, but didn't want to go around, and met the same thing in the same place.
In the previous life, there was a rich man who went crazy and suddenly threw money on the street, which caused the crowds to be crowded. Jiang Yueying was pushed off the bridge and almost fell. After falling, Jiang Yueying broke the sky lantern in her hand, so Wen Chan kindly gave him the sky lantern.
Because of all the things between him and Jiang Yueying, there was the future prince Wen Ruyan.
Thinking of the past, Wen Chan was both emotional and funny. He looked down at his sky lantern. No, his sky lantern was obviously fine in his previous life...
