The princess ran away again

When the Huashan Festival arrives, all the avenues in Huai'an City seem to be transformed into flower streets, and the rich fragrance flutters in the wind, like a jar of old wine that has been brewed for a long time, making people intoxicated.During the day, the streets are already bustling with people, and at night, the lights are bright and lively.

"Peaches and plums compete with each other in February, and pear blossoms melt like a moon. In April, tea leaves are fragrant, and peonies are king. In August, osmanthus and Sophora japonica are yellow, but there are no famous flowers blooming in June."

"My son's words are wrong. Let's not say that this Huashan Festival is originally for the god of hibiscus. In June, tung flowers attract phoenixes and hibiscus come out of water. Isn't it a different style? Besides, there are many capable people and strange people in Huai'an. You See, isn’t that a place where peonies compete for beauty?”

"It's strange, it's really a good job to grow peonies in June."

……

Along the way, I only heard various conversations.Chu Zhao took Ning Yuyao's hand and wandered freely among the surging crowd. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had been squeezed into the peony field.Pots of delicate and well-trimmed peonies on the ground came into view.

"I thought that this kind of anti-chronological alien species can only be seen in the palace, but I didn't expect that the small Huai'an city is everywhere." Ning Yuyao whispered in Chu Zhao's ear, her eyebrows and eyes were full of surprise.

Chu Zhao smiled lightly and replied, "Maybe many of the people enshrined in the palace come from here?" Sensing the crowds around her, she embraced Ning Yuyao in her arms, her elbows gradually twitching. tighten up.

"What are you doing?" Ning Yuyao whispered, her face flushed slightly.She secretly glanced at the people around her, and was slightly relieved to see that everyone's thoughts were on the strange peony flowers.

Chu Zhao blinked, and whispered, "I'm afraid someone will bump into you." The little princess has delicate skin and tender flesh, how can she withstand being touched?A few pushes and shoves, maybe his body was bruised.She brought people out, so she naturally had the responsibility to protect them.His fingers landed on his slender waist, and through the thin Luo Yi, he seemed to be able to feel the task on his skin.The flowers and colors in front of him suddenly became charming, and it was not until he heard a soft hum that Chu Zhao came back to his senses.

"Peony is the king of flowers, and the king of peonies is none other than Yao Huang." A voice as clear as a silver bell sounded, and at some point in the group of flowers, there was a charming woman in purple clothes. She bent over and sniffed lightly in front of the flowers. Her long hair fell like a waterfall, covering her delicate face. Under the shadow of the lamp, she still had a bit of hazy beauty.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing that Chu Zhao's gaze fell on the beauty in purple, Ning Yuyao felt sour in her heart, and lightly bumped Chu Zhao with her elbow, her eyes widened. Heart dissatisfaction.

"That person—" Chu Zhao frowned, pulled Ning Yuyao's hand, and continued, "She is the woman we met on the lake that day, what is her name Xie—"

"Xie Qiluo." Ning Yuyao took Chu Zhao's words, and the last "Luo" ended in a protracted sound.

After Ning Yuyao mentioned it, Chu Zhao remembered the name, nodded and said, "It's her."

Ning Yuyao snorted, pretending to be casual and said, "So what if it's her? So what if it's not?"

Chu Zhao glanced at Ning Yuyao in surprise, and finally heard something strange in her tone.She was just surprised when she saw Xie Qiluo. After she finished saying that, she regarded it as a boring thing and put it to the back of her mind. "No way." Chu Zhao blinked, showing a somewhat bewildered expression. Seeing that Ning Yuyao still had displeasure on her face, she let out a "huh" and changed the subject, "Yao Huangwei Zifeng Pill Bai, there are so many types of peonies."

Ning Yuyao had lost interest in looking at the flowers, so she snorted softly, "It's just ordinary flowers."

Chu Zhao pursed his lips into a smile, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what the princess considers to be a divine product?"

Ning Yuyao pushed away Chu Zhao's face and gave her a sideways glance, as if asking "What do you say?"Looking at the flowers and people was already full of fun, Chu Zhao saw the impatience on Ning Yuyao's face, and retreated from the crowd.Walking in the opposite direction of the tourists, when the surrounding area is empty and only the dim lights are left, I realize that before I know it, I have arrived in front of a Yuelao temple.Huai'an regards the God of Furong as the god of marriage, so the Yuelao Temple is relatively neglected.In front of the court was a towering giant tree, and the hanging mahogany sign swayed in the wind, with occasional crackling noises.

There is no incense in the Yuelao Temple, and there are no temple guards.Stepping into the hall, I saw a table with many withered flowers and shriveled fruits, telling the desolation of Yuelao Temple.Chu Zhao's gaze slowly turned to the right, and finally settled on a lottery.

"Want to ask for a lottery?" Ning Yuyao snorted softly, reached out and picked up the stick holder and shook it lightly. Unexpectedly, a bamboo stick fell out of it and landed on the ground with a thud.Ning Yuyao was stunned for a moment, then picked it up with a frown and took a look.The ink on the signature has faded a lot, and words such as "following back and forth, the road is obstructed and long" can be vaguely distinguished.Ning Yuyao's complexion changed slightly, seeing that Chu Zhao had approached, she immediately threw the bamboo stick back into the tube.

Seeing Ning Yuyao behave like this, Chu Zhao became even more curious. She asked, "Why? What did the sign say?"

Ning Yuyao raised her eyes and stared into Chu Zhao's eyes, seeing that her eyes were clear, as pure as colored glaze, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.She concealed her disappointment and sadness, curled her lips and said with a smile: "The above said a fair lady, a gentleman is very good."

Chu Zhao shook his head, sighed secretly in his heart, and replied after a while: "Indeed." But who is that gentleman?Who should be that gentleman?The interest in going out for sightseeing was somewhat diluted by the decay of Yuelao Temple, but she didn't want to spoil Ning Yuyao's interest, so she pretended to be cheerful and happy, and whispered, "Famous flowers and beauties are beautiful."

"Coincidentally, I didn't expect there to be people in this nearly deserted Yuelao Temple." A voice came over, but it was Xie Qiluo who was looking at peonies, and came to this ruined temple at some time.She stood under the dilapidated lantern in front of the court, and behind her stood two maids with swords, their faces were cold and fierce, exuding an aura that strangers should not get close to. "It turned out to be two benefactors. The little girl still doesn't know the names of her benefactors."

Is it really a coincidence to meet?Chu Zhao blocked Ning Yuyao behind him calmly, she frowned, and replied lightly, "Ji Zhao."

"Ji?" Xie Qiluo's eyebrows and eyes flashed a look of surprise, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he asked pretending to be puzzled, "But Jin people? This Ji is the surname of Jin country. I think the young master's demeanor Super elegant, rich or expensive, could it be that he is the prince of Jin?"

The temptation hidden in the words made Chu Zhao even more displeased. She glanced at Xie Qiluo coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I was born in Ningguo and grew up in Ningguo. I don't know anything about Jin."

Xie Qiluo showed a bit of regret when she heard the words, she smiled, sighed and said: "That's right, the benefactor's voice is clearly from the capital."

Ning Yuyao tugged on Chu Zhao's sleeve.

Chu Zhao glanced down, then raised his eyes to look at Xie Qiluo, and asked, "The two of us have important things to do. If the girl is fine, I will leave first." It was just a meeting on the lake, not even friendship not on.Facing Xie Qiluo, Chu Zhao had an instinctive repulsion, and Ning Yuyao didn't want to see this person, so he immediately decided to leave.

"Benefactor, wait a minute!" Xie Qiluo was not willing to let Chu Zhao go, she drank, and said with bright eyes, "In order to repay the kindness of saving us on the lake that day, can my little girl invite my benefactor to have a meeting?"

Ning Yuyao walked out from behind Chu Zhao, frowned and said, "No need." Then she tugged on Chu Zhao's sleeve to leave.

Xie Qiluo just smiled and said nothing, but the two maids behind her saw Chu Zhao leaving, and immediately drew their swords to block their way.Chu Zhao frowned, and anger rose in his eyes.The palm of his right hand was the first to attack the two maids, his moves were fierce and left no room for them.Xie Qiluo watched from the sidelines for a long time before she opened her mouth slowly and pretended to reprimand, "Husband! How can you treat Mr. Ji like this?"

"This subordinate knows his mistake." The maid drew back her sword immediately and stepped back, watching the figures of Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao disappear into Yuelao Temple. "The young master is very interested in that Ji Zhao?"

Xie Qiluo nodded and said: "Yes."

"But that 'son' is actually—" the maid hesitated to speak.

Xie Qiluo's eyebrows were raised, and the corners of her lips curled up with evil intentions. She responded, "How could I not know?"

"Forget it." After a pause, the maid said again, "Master asked when you will go back, that person is not in good health, I'm afraid something will change."

Xie Qiluo waved his hand, and said indifferently: "What does it matter to me if the sky changes? Even if the sky falls, there will be a tall man to support it, right? I just want to be at ease in the world."

The maid said again: "But this river and lake has already become notorious, and I'm afraid it will alarm the government of Ningguo, when the time comes—"

"What are you worried about?" Xie Qiluo waved her hand, she didn't care, "It's a big deal and walk away, there will always be ghosts for the dead."

"That female demon has a vicious look, so she must have no good intentions." After walking away, looking back to see that Xie Qiluo hadn't caught up, Ning Yuyao let out a sigh of relief and complained in a low voice.

Chu Zhao thought for a while, then nodded.She didn't know what purpose Xie Qiluo had, but anyone who couldn't figure it out should stay away.She shoulders more than her own life.From the moon to the middle of the sky, many people who look at the flowers on the street have already dispersed.In the flower market decorated with lanterns and festoons, only the fragrant wind passing through is still playing tirelessly with the group of fragrances. "It's getting late, let's go back too."

"Hmm." Ning Yuyao snorted softly.She turned to look at Chu Zhao's profile.The moonlight flowing like water coated the sky and the earth with a layer of silver, and Chu Zhao's eyes were always on the road ahead, never wandering for a moment.Doesn't she know that she is looking at her?Still don't care?Backtracking from it, Wan is in the middle of the water.The marriage signature suddenly appeared in my mind, did it refer to the person in front of me or the person in the future?Does it mean that no matter who you are with, it is not good?
