Chapter 164 A Subtle Scene
Being led forward by Mu Qingchen, she soon saw a familiar figure.
far away,
"Wen Jiu, I didn't expect you to be so good at guessing riddles." Princess Yu'an was extremely happy looking at the rabbit lantern in her hand.
Lan Sheng looked like a kindergarten teacher traveling with children. His tall figure seemed extremely out of proportion with the people in front of him. He folded his arms and looked bored.
Princess You'an took out her purse and prepared to buy a lantern, but unexpectedly Wen Jiu had already taken down the lantern she had liked for a long time and handed it to her: "Today is the Lantern Festival, how can you let a girl spend money when you go out to play? Save money if you can. You are both girls, and you have what she has."
Seeing Wen Jiu's serious expression, Princess Youan was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a long time before reaching out to take it.
Ever since Wen Jiu's situation improved, he always paid attention to her needs whenever she and Fu Yue were present at the same time.
Not flattering, not deliberate, just seems to be a casual act.
"Thank you, Thirteenth Prince." Princess You'an took the lantern, looked at the pattern on it, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It was her favorite orchid.
"Princess Si Yao, this is a candy man. Didn't you want to eat it just now? I bought it." Mo Cheng came over hurriedly and interrupted what Princess You An was about to say to Wen Jiu.
Princess Yu'an raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I know you like cousin Si Yao, but we are not wooden either. You can't just pretend we don't exist."
Princess Youan blushed, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Fuyue, be careful with your words."
"I'm telling the truth, cousin Si Yao. You see, Mr. Mo is very handsome and has a special liking for you. I think you shouldn't be too reserved and miss this good marriage." Princess Yu'an covered her mouth and laughed. It seemed that she was the only one who didn't believe it. She turned her head to look at Wen Jiu: "Wen Jiu, don't you agree?!"
"A girl's lifelong event must not be taken lightly. I remain silent about this because I'm not the one getting married." Wen Jiu turned his head to look elsewhere, and seemed to have seen a lantern that satisfied him, so he immediately strode over.
"How much is this?" he asked, picking up a fish-shaped lantern.
"Sir, you have good taste. I dare say there are no more than ten lanterns in the whole capital that are made as well as this one. I'll give you three taels of silver." The street vendor looked at Wen Jiu with a smile and a flattering look on his face.
"Give."
After paying, Wen Jiu walked over with the lantern in his hand: "I heard there will be fireworks in front later, are you sure you want to stand here and waste your time?"
Princess Yu'an pouted and gave Wen Jiu a look, quite disappointed and said, "Wen Jiu, you really spoil the fun. I will punish you by making you buy me a candy man as well."
Wen Jiu frowned slightly, he looked up at Mo Cheng and asked, "Where did Mr. Mo buy the sugar figurine?"
Mo Cheng looked at Princess Youan and pointed in a direction: "There."
"Let's go together. I'll treat you, one for each of you." Wen Jiu looked up and greeted everyone.
Lan Sheng, who was standing aside and watching the show, shook his head and said, "So stingy, just using a sugar man to get rid of us?"
"Oh, by the way, you didn't. After all, we are still young. It's not appropriate for you to eat candy at your age." Wen Jiu looked up at Lan Sheng and said seriously: "After all, the sight of a grown man holding a candy and biting it is quite uncomfortable and eye-catching."
"You ungrateful fellow, I usually take care of you so much, and you actually said such words to me!" Lan Sheng turned his head to look at the expressionless maid: "Lian Lian, Master, I am sad, you have to comfort me well tonight!"
Lianlian, who was walking at the end, lowered her head.
Looking at the lively scene, Qiao Shinian raised the corner of his mouth and looked up at Mu Qingchen: "Look, that scene just now was very interesting, like a scene from a movie... a storybook, very melodramatic."
Mu Qingchen didn't understand what Qiao Shinian meant and looked back at her in confusion.
Qiao Shinian's interest in gossiping died down under his gaze, and he changed the subject: "Let's go and take a look."
"Ah."
Right in front of the candy figurine stall, Wen Jiu picked out a few candy figurines, then looked at Princess You'an and Princess Yu'an who were holding the candy figurines and carefully taking a bite, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
If Qiao Shinian were here, she would definitely chatter about how amazing the candy man maker was, and would definitely drag him to the most lively place.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly recalled the recent rumors. He thought that she was no longer the type of person who would find sugar men novel. After all, the virtuous king was much richer and had much more power than him.
She lived a hard life when she was with him, but if she moved to another place, she would be able to live a superior life.
"Wen Jiu, why don't you eat all the sugar you bought?" Princess Yu'an turned around and looked at Wen Jiu staring at the sugar man. She didn't understand: "This will melt when it gets hot."
"Oh." Wen Jiu responded perfunctorily and looked around. He knew that she loved to join in the fun and she would not miss such a lively festival.
So, where would she be at this time?
Just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked straight to Qiao Shinian without paying attention to the people behind him: "Sister."
This call of "sister" is so well-behaved and sweet.
"Well, how are you doing recently?" Qiao Shinian looked at him, smiled, and wanted to reach out and touch him, but halfway through his hand he suddenly thought of something and immediately retracted it, "You look very energetic! It seems like you are doing well."
"Yes!" Wen Jiu nodded, and then handed the lantern in his hand to Qiao Shinian as if offering a treasure: "I bought it for you. I think you will like it."
"Thank you." Qiao Shinian stretched out his right hand and took it.
Wen Jiu originally wanted to hand the candy man to her, but he found that her hand was held by Mu Qingchen. The dissatisfaction at that moment was concealed when he raised his hand and let Qiao Shinian take a bite of the candy man.
"Not bad, but it has no other taste except sweet." Qiao Shinian naturally understood what Wen Jiu meant. She lowered her head slightly and took a bite.
"Really?" Wen Jiu took a bite of the place where Qiao Shinian had nibbled. "Indeed, I like the apple-flavored hard candy you gave me. It would be great if this trip had other flavors. Sister, when we go back later, I'm going to make candy figures of various flavors."
Mu Qingchen's eyes changed slightly. He could naturally see that Wen Jiu's actions and words were all provocative to him.
"Oh! Who was it? It turned out to be the uncle who brought shame to the royal family! Tsk tsk, why didn't you even say hello to us when you brought your favorite maid out to play? Are you too ashamed to talk to us because you know that you have low tastes?"
Qiao Shinian held Mu Qingchen's hand tightly, fearing that he would rush forward impulsively.
The effect at this time was what she and Wen Jiu wanted, but when this effect was really achieved, she only felt sorry for Mu Qingchen.
The means that she originally used to protect herself now became a source of guilt in her heart.
Wen Jiu stood aside and silently ate the candy man, then said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, Princess, please don't say these unpleasant words, let's go and watch the fireworks."
Princess Yu'an frowned tightly, and she looked at Wen Jiu with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? He is indulging in the gentleness of the maid all day long, and you won't let me say anything?
I thought he was so picky because he hadn't married yet! But he ignored the dignity of the royal family and spent all day having fun with a maid!
Look at this cheap smell, it's unbearable!"
