Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 936: The Wasteful Prince vs. the First Female Official 1

"No, nothing." Xuan Yanjing stuttered rarely. His heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, beating so fast that it almost broke through his chest.

He stared at the puzzled Xiao Fuzi for two seconds, swallowed, and changed the subject, "Have you packed everything? Okay, let's go eat first. I'll take a rest and go downstairs."

He needed some time alone to calm himself down.

Xuan Yan Jingdu wondered if he had just had a seizure. How could it suddenly...be like that?

Isn’t this indecent assault!

I don’t know if she will be angry or unhappy.

Xuan Yanjing stayed on the second floor for almost half an hour. After Xiao Fuzi and Chuntao had finished their meal, he knocked on the door and called him down.

Xuan Yanjing walked down the stairs lightly, his eyes looking around. He was looking forward to seeing Lingyao and seeing how she would react. But at the same time, he didn't want to see Lingyao so soon, as he was still a little unresponsive.

So when he went downstairs and heard Xiao Fuzi say that Lingyao had taken Chuntao out to do something and would be back in an hour, Xuan Yanjing felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

"Sir, I heard there will be a lantern festival on this long street at sunset. Now that the sun has set, would you like to go out for a walk?"

"How are the two children now?" Xuan Yanjing did not answer Xiao Fuzi's question, but asked about the situation of the two children instead.

"The doctor the young master hired is watching. I just checked. The younger brother fell asleep after drinking the medicine. The older sister also showed some signs of poisoning, but not seriously. The doctor recommended a few days of dietary therapy..."

After listening to this, Xuan Yanjing nodded, thinking that Lingyao would not be back for another hour, he could take this opportunity to look around, not only to see the scenery outside the palace, but also to see how many people were around the two children.

He put on his hat and went out with Xiao Fuzi.

As dusk falls, the long street is already filled with lights.

The lanterns of the vendors on both sides were crowded together, the rabbit lanterns had red tassels hanging down, the lotus lanterns were floating with gold powder,

Young men and women in brocade and satin clothes strolled around slowly, holding lanterns. The sugar painting stall at the entrance of the alley was crowded with people. The master scooped up syrup and moved it across the bluestone slabs. In a blink of an eye, he turned out a dragon with distinct scales and claws, which attracted the children to applaud.

Xuan Yanjing took a look at it and although it was novel, he didn't buy it.

He had just finished his meal and now he couldn't eat anymore. This candy was no different from other candies. It would easily get dusty and melt in his hands. He couldn't even finish it and take it back to the palace.

Xuan Yanjing's attention was quickly drawn to the crowded lantern riddle guessing place next to him.

On the riddle-guessing stall, there was a rabbit lantern hanging high up. Its two drooping ears hung limply, and its eyes were dotted with cinnabar, shining as if soaked in moonlight.

The key point is that the rabbit has no expression, which reminds him of a person the first time he sees it.

He squeezed forward with Xiao Fuzi and heard that rows of riddles and poetry slips were hung in front of the riddle stall owner's table. One penny was required to guess a riddle or a line of poetry. If the riddle or the line was answered correctly, the stall owner could choose a lantern.

Xuan Yanjing, who had never read many poems and had mostly read the widely circulated storybooks among the palace maids and eunuchs, gave up looking at the poems and songs in front of him and chose to guess riddles instead.

"There is a fish in the East China Sea, without a head or a tail, and without a spine..."

"The sun is shining inside, and the rain is falling outside..."

Xuan Yanjing read several of them in a row and found that the difficulty of these riddles was no less than that of poems.

A pair of pitch-black eyebrows twisted into two caterpillars.

Before he could say anything, Xiao Fuzi next to him suddenly pointed to one of the slips of paper and said to Xuan Yanjing, "Round when drawing, square when writing, short in winter, long in summer."

He came up to Xuan Yanjing and gave him a hint: "Sir, the answer to this riddle is the word 'sun'."

Xuan Yanjing looked at him sideways, he didn't expect that Xiao Fuzi was more proficient in this than him.

He was not angry, but just a little confused. He remembered that Xiao Fuzi knew fewer words than he did. Sometimes he lent the storybooks he had read to Xiao Fuzi, but he could not quite understand them.

Xiao Fuzi smiled shyly and explained, "Sir, I just heard the person next to me solving a riddle."

It turned out to be the case.

Xuan Yanjing asked Xiao Fuzi to take a copper coin to guess the riddle, but did not take away Xiao Fuzi's chance to exchange for the lantern, and let him choose by himself.

He didn't want the chance that Xiao Fuzi gave him. He had to go and get the lanterns he wanted himself. Otherwise... it would be a bit inappropriate to snatch other people's lanterns and give them to others.

Xuan Yanjing spent ten copper coins and racked his brains to guess ten riddles, but he didn't answer any of them correctly. Finally, the stall owner couldn't stand it anymore and offered to give a lantern to this big customer.

Unexpectedly, I was rejected.

"No, I want to guess it myself." Xuan Yanjing refused firmly until he guessed the riddle for the fifteenth time and finally got it right.

Just by coincidence, after solving the riddles more than a dozen times, Xuan Yanjing saw a very familiar word, which was the word that Lingyao asked him to copy when he practiced calligraphy in the past two days.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the words yet, he had a good memory, and the few pieces of calligraphy practice were enough for him to remember the words.

Xuan Yanjing finally took down the rabbit lantern as he wished, held it in his hand, and continued to walk deeper into the long street with a happy mood.

As he walked along, Xuan Yanjing discovered that the long streets of the capital were more prosperous and lively at dusk than during the day.

The deep twilight encompasses many sceneries and gloomy things that cannot be presented in the daytime.

Xuan Yanjing passed by a restaurant where people were coming and going. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by an old brothel owner who was dressed in fancy clothes and smelled of powder.

Perhaps because Xuan Yanjing's attire made her look like someone other than an ordinary person, she was very welcoming, her voice soft and charming: "Sir, please come in. This new girl has just arrived and she sings beautifully."

Xuan Yanjing took a step back suddenly before the other party's red fingers could hold his, his brows furrowed under his veil, and his tone was not polite at all.

"Get out, you stink."

Faced with a woman who threw herself at him to please him, Xuan Yanjing was quite skilled in handling the situation.

Skilled has a bad attitude.

The madam's face froze. She didn't expect the young man to speak so harshly and mercilessly.

However, people who work in this industry don’t have such a bad mentality, and they still put on a smiling face and wave their handkerchiefs.

"Hey, sir, you think I stink, but the girls in our building are all very fragrant. Do you want to come in and take a look?"

Xuan Yanjing didn't even want to say anything more to the other party and prepared to leave.

When his eyes inadvertently swept into the building, he caught a figure like a sight.

She was wearing a thin water-blue silk skirt, with a cold and aloof profile, and a man was sitting beside her.

He was wearing a soft satin shirt with light red flowers scattered on it, with the collar open to reveal a large area of his chest. He was still smiling at Lingyao with a curved lip.

The smile is so charming, so alluring, and so flirty!
