The next day, before Nangong Yan could wait, he sneaked Ji Qingxue out of the palace gate.

    "Where are you taking me?" Ji Qingxue didn''t know why, but Ren Nangong Yan pulled her away.

    Nangong Yan turned back and smiled mysteriously at her: "just follow me."

    city moat.

    "Wow, how beautiful!" Ji Qingxue said to Nangong Yan.

    The moat is full of lotus flowers, which are unique to Dayan and are called fire lotus.

    It only opens once every two years. When it blooms, it is very flirtatious and gorgeous. Every time the fire lotus blooms, the people in Kyoto will hold a Lotus Lantern Festival to celebrate.

    "The Lotus Lantern Festival will be held tonight, so I''ll show you." Nangong Yan suddenly thought, "you''ve been kept in your boudoir. Have you seen the Lantern Festival?"

    Ji Qingxue shook his head again and again: "no, I''ve never seen any Lantern Festival."

    Once upon a time, when I stayed in the prime minister''s residence, I was either doing chores or being beaten and scolded. Why did I come to play any lantern party for a while.

    Ji Qingxue grabbed nangongyan''s arm in one hand and pointed to a lotus not far away: "nangongyan, look, that flower is so beautiful!"

    Nangong Yan looked at the excited expression on Ji Qingxue''s face and asked, "do you like it?"

    Ji Qingxue nodded heavily: "of course."

    Nangong Yan said, "wait for me."

    Before Ji Qingxue reacts, nangongyan is as light as a swallow and skips the river lightly. Nangongyan directly picks the lotus flower.

    Nangong Yan handed the flower to Ji Qingxue: "here you are."

    Ji Qingxue took the flower in a daze. This is the first time someone sent her flowers.

    Seeing that she didn''t speak, Nangong Yan asked, "why don''t you speak?"

    Ji Qingxue looked up at Nangong Yan and smiled: "no, I just think the flowers are very beautiful."

    For this flower, Nangong Yan agreed: "well, I think it''s very good-looking, too."

    "Of course, this is the best one."

    Nangong Yan looked at her straightly, as if to look into the deepest part of her heart: "I''m not talking about flowers, but..."

    Ji Qingxue said strangely, "but what?"

    Nangong Yan gently touched the tip of her nose: "silly girl, I''m talking about people."

    Ji Qingxue bah, hooligan!

    Nangong Yan attached to her ear and deliberately lowered his voice: "it''s only for you."

    Ji Qingxue refused to pay attention to him. She saw a vendor selling masks. She went straight over.

    She picked a ghost mask from a pile of masks, put it on her face, shook left and right in front of Nangong Yan: "is it nice?"

    Nangong Yan tut said, "what do girls do with faces? It''s better to wear this flower fairy."

    Ji Qingxue''s head shakes like a wave drum. She doesn''t want it. She likes this ghost mask.

    She picked up a mask and put it on Nangong Yan''s face. She said happily, "look at you. You''re so ugly wearing this mask!"

    Nangong Yan is full of black lines, but he also allows Ji Qingxue to misbehave.

    Ji Qingxue looked at Nangong Yan with only one pair of eyes left in his mask and suddenly felt that he looked like this. He seemed to have seen him somewhere.

    Ji Qingxue is about to say something, but she is suddenly hit by someone. She suddenly falls into Nangong Yan''s arms.

    "Be careful!" Nangong Yan held her firmly in his arms. He looked coldly at the man who knocked down Ji Qingxue, which made the man tremble all over.

    Ji Qingxue whispered, "well, they didn''t mean it. You looked at them with such terrible eyes to see what they looked like."

    "Sorry, sorry, I didn''t mean it." the man kept apologizing, but he didn''t dare to look at Nangong Yan.

    Ji Qingxue said aside, "it''s all right. Don''t take it to heart."

    After the man walked away, Nangong Yan looked down at the woman in his arms and scolded slightly in his tone: "when people come, they don''t know how to avoid. What can they do if they fall?"

    Ji Qingxue spits out his tongue, but he doesn''t see it!

    The vendor on one side suddenly said, "guys, do you want this mask? The two masks are six Wen in total."

    Ji Qingxue responded: "yes, of course."

    While Ji Qingxue was about to take out her purse to pay, she suddenly said loudly, "Oh, my purse is gone."

    Ji Qingxue thought of the man who had just hit her. It must be him. Ji Qingxue angrily said, "damn thief, I''ve made an idea on my mother!"

    Seeing Nangong Yan''s still calm expression, Ji Qing Xuehu looked at him suspiciously: "look at your reaction, did you see it long ago?"

    Nangong Yan hugged his chest with both hands, looked at Ji Qingxue and asked, "what do you say?"

    Hearing the sound, Ji Qingxue punched him in the chest: "since you know, why let him go!"

    Nangong Yan said with a smile, "who just said my eyes were too fierce to scare others?"

    Ji Qingxue choked and couldn''t say a word. She could only stare at him and express her dissatisfaction. It was her hard-earned money!

    Nangong Yan took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the vendor. The vendor looked at him in some embarrassment and said, "childe, you gave too much. I can''t find it here."

    Nangong Yan smiled and said, "it doesn''t matter, old man. Just think I bought all your masks, is that enough?"

    The vendor replied again and again, "enough, enough!"

    Someone patted Ji Qingxue on the shoulder from behind. Ji Qingxue was angry. He turned back and said, "who doesn''t have eyes? I''ll annoy your aunt at this time!"

    The visitor was startled and said weakly, "sister Xue, people are kind enough to help you get your money bag back. Why are you so fierce?"

    Ji Qingxue saw the visitor clearly, but Lan Qing was surprised.

    "Lanqing, is that you? Why did you come to Kyoto?"

    Lan Qing came forward and took Ji Qingxue''s arm and said, "I''m here to accompany Wu Xian to experience."

    Since Lanqing is here, will grandpa also

    Ji Qingxue looked around. Sure enough, he saw Dongling dragging the thief who had just stolen Ji Qingxue''s money bag towards them.

    Dongling pushed him forward and said, "don''t return the money bag to Qingxue. Believe it or not, I''ll waste your hands."

    After hearing this, the man quickly returned the money bag to Ji Qingxue: "sorry, girl, I''m wrong. I won''t dare again next time. Spare me!"

    Ji Qingxue weighed the purse in his hand, and then directly fed him a pill: "what I just fed you is the most poisonous medicine in the world, but it won''t poison your hair for the time being. If you dare to do anything else, I''ll urge the poison. Then you will bleed from your seven orifices and you will die ugly."

    The man was so frightened that his face turned white that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head: "the little one dare not again, dare not again, spare my life, spare my life!"

    Ji Qingxue said with a smile, "but don''t worry. As long as I don''t urge its toxicity, you will have no worry about your life for the rest of your life, so you know what to do later?"

    "Young people must accumulate virtue and do good deeds every day to make up for their mistakes in the past."

    Ji Qingxue snorted, "go away!"

    Seeing that the man had gone far, Lan Qing asked her, "sister Xue, what poison did you feed him just now? It''s so powerful?"

    Ji Qingxue laughed: "silly girl, I fed him just ordinary pills to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. What poison is it?"

    "Ah?" Lan Qing stares. Can Wu Xian cheat?

    "By the way, Grandpa, what are you doing in Kyoto this time?"

    Dongling touched his beard and said with a smile, "there''s no way. My granddaughter won''t come to see me. Don''t you allow me to come and see her?"

    "Yes, it''s all my fault."

    Dongling glanced at Nangong Yan who was silent: "why, Nangong boy, when you see me, you don''t even know to call."

    Nangong Yan nodded at him: "Nangong Yan has seen Grandpa."

    Grandpa, Dongling was unwilling to accept this. His granddaughter, whom he finally recognized, was abducted by Nangong family. How can he be reconciled?

    Ji Qingxue held Lanqing in one hand and Dongling in the other: "Grandpa, Nangong Yan said there was a lantern festival in Kyoto tonight. I''ll take you to have fun."

    "OK, OK, I haven''t seen it yet."

    As soon as she heard the Lantern Festival, Lanqing''s eyes lit up. As a saint, she has always stayed in the family and suffocated. It''s hard to come out now. Of course, she has to have fun.

    As night fell, the whole Chang''an Street began to bustle. Ji Qingxue and Lan Qing walked and stopped and had a good time all the way.

    Dongling and Nangong Yan followed. Looking at Ji Qingxue in front of Dongling, Dongling asked aloud, "what Sima Yue, how are you going to solve it? Is it difficult to marry her?"

    As soon as the voice fell, Nangong Yan was surprised. He really deserves to be a Wuling family. Even if he is in the family, he can know everything in the world.

    "In my life, I will only have a wife, ah Xue, and there will never be anyone else."

    Dongling sneered, as if he didn''t believe his words.

    "Many years ago, I gave my only daughter to Ji Lin like this. Now I will never let my granddaughter repeat the same mistake. Nangong Yan, you''d better remember what you said today. If you can''t do it, I''ll let you know that the Wuling clan is not so easy to bully."

    Ji Qingxue and Lan Qing are having fun, but they meet Nangong LAN and Ji Qingling.

    "Oh, isn''t this princess Rui?"

    Ji Qingxue whispered, "it''s really a narrow road for friends."

    Lanqing looked at Ji Qingling''s strange appearance and was very uncomfortable: "sister Xue, who is she?"

    Ji Qingxue replied, "my sister in name."

    Hearing this, Lanqing''s eyes showed murderous spirit. It turned out that this man was Ji Qingling who had been bullying sister Xue.

    "Princess sister, how can I see you alone?"

    Ji Qingxue turned his eyes: "madam, I''m not coming out alone. Is it half a person?"

    As soon as they said this, Nangong LAN and Lanqing both laughed, especially Nangong LAN. This Rui princess is really more and more interesting.

    Seeing Nangong Lan''s reaction, Ji Qingling bit her teeth. She deliberately took Nangong Lan''s arm: "sister, you''re still so articulate."

    Ji Qingxue replied impolitely, "thank you for your praise. I don''t know how the injury on my sister is?"

    When Ji Qingling picked up the wound on her leg, she was furious. The knife she scratched on her leg hurt her for a long time.

    "Husband..."

    Ji Qingling called Nangong LAN, but she didn''t even look at Ji Qingling. She looked at Ji Qingxue firmly: "ling''er and I came out to play. Do you want to go to the Lantern Festival together?"

    "That''s not necessary." Nangong Yan politely refused. He stood beside Ji Qingxue and smiled with her: "I''ll take you to the best place to watch the lights."

    Ji Qingxue said with a smile that Lan Qing was still angry all the way, but: "sister Xue, why don''t you let me teach her a lesson?"

    Ji Qingxue patted her hand: "don''t worry, I''ll have to clean her up sooner or later, but it''s not time yet."

    Lanqing nodded vaguely. Sister Xue is Wu Xian. What she said is what she said.
