Chapter 637: Appreciating the Lanterns

After a lively and festive luncheon, Xiao Jing, who had been swaying with the beauty, left first, and Princess Dongyang also left a place for the teenagers to go lively and quietly left.

However, most of the remaining people became sleepy. Many people were lying down and slept soundly in the huge canteen. Yue Qianqiu woke people up and drove them back to the room one by one.

Even he himself decisively handed over the Xuandao Hall to Zhou Jiyue and the friends of Wuying Hall to take charge of the charge. He plunged into the room of the head and went to sleep with a big blanket. Now, the tigers and monkeys in the mountains were all going to sleep in the Xuandao Hall, leaving only a group of outsiders looking at each other. Fortunately, no one regarded himself as an outsider, and he went to play with him when he was stunned.

So, Xiao Jingjing, who came to Xuandao Hall for the first time, inevitably turned into a curious baby. Because Zhu'er and Qing Yunian were not careful, she didn't know where to go. She urged Zhou Jiyue to lead the way, drilling here and looking there, everything was curious.

Although Zhou Jiyue only slept in the middle of the night last night, she slept for an extra hour in the morning. At this time, she was in good spirits, but she was often unable to resist her questions. In the end, she couldn't stand her treacherous skills and felt that the timing was good, so she asked, "Jingjing, Qianqiu has taken over as the head of the sect. Do you, the young master of the Red Moon Palace, plan to officially take over the Red Moon Palace?"

Xiao Jingjing, who was still very energetic and teasing, suddenly fell silent. Although Hai Shisan told her about this, she once thought that she had made up her mind, but when she came to the last step, she was always hesitant. Especially when she thought that she might be enemies with her mother in the future, she became even more confused.

For several days, she ate and lived with the girls in Wuying Pavilion, and was attracted by Zhou Jiyue's temperament, so she had already regarded people as her sister before she knew it. At this moment, she held Zhou Jiyue's arm tightly, but her head was hanging low.

"Sister Zhou, I'm afraid... Although Yue Qianqiu said that my mother might be trying to pick me out, she said that I was not her daughter, and she left me like a burden, but what if he just comforted me, my mother really just didn't care about me?"

"I know how many abilities I have. Although I was called the Young Palace Master in the past, I have never been in charge of things. People from all over the world are following me now because of my mother. Although everyone is the Princess Huoshan in Beiyan, everyone is staying by my side, if she appears again, I really don't know how to keep everyone. Moreover, if my mother still keeps her confidant among these people..."

Xiao Jingjing's voice became lower and lower, and his head was involuntarily pressed against Zhou Jiyue's arm, and his body was even trembling slightly: "I can't be the lord of this palace. I can't do what my mother can do. My martial arts skills are not as good as her, my mind is not as good as her, and my methods are not as good as her... Although Uncle Hai hopes that I can take on the Red Moon Palace, I am really not that powerful. Instead of being split in the future and even having an accident, it's better..."

Before Xiao Jingjing finished speaking, Zhou Jiyue forced herself to break free from her. Then she pressed her shoulder and stared at her eyes and said word by word: "It is different from your mother's talented person. Few people are born to preside over each school. When I took over the White Lotus Sect, I had nothing except the 300 acres of land returned by the imperial court. Although I had a martial art that could barely be read, I had read some books with Master Yan, but if I had the ability, it was worse than you now."

"Qianqiu, his grandfather also has the leader Yan and Princess Dongyang. Although he supports me and helps me quietly, he is far away and many things are beyond reach. Even if he stumbling, I can only try it with a tough bullet. Even if I fail, I can only cry secretly and not show it to others. The most important thing is that there are few people in the White Lotus Sect, unlike the Red Moon Palace at present, there are many people who are willing to fight for your life and death and your mother's life and death."

"You can't tell, and your Uncle Hai can help you to tell. But if you can't bear the burden, then no one can bear it. It was because of you that the court pardoned those people in the Red Moon Palace, otherwise just intercepting and killing Yan Zhengsen and Liu Fangyuan Dai Zhanning would be a serious crime. If you can't be the palace master, then these people are likely to be re-detained, convicted, exiled or even beheaded by the court, because no one can bear the risk of their rebellion."

These words and sentences sounded like heavy hammers, and Zhou Jiyue's next sentence made her suddenly raise her head.

"I have written a letter to the heads of various sects, hoping that the Red Moon Palace can pass the assessment and evaluate and join the martial arts record. It will no longer act sneakily like before, but will appear in front of everyone with a bright and honest manner."

When Zhou Jiyue said this, she reached out and pulled Xiao Jingjing into her arms. After finding that the person was stunned for a moment, she did not resist. She smiled and patted the little girl on the back: "If you don't have the Red Moon Palace, you will be completely alone, and your fate will be involuntarily in the future. Do you really want to disband the Red Moon Palace and let others dominate your own destiny?"

When Yue Qianqiu was awakened from a sound dream by the screams of the outside world, he narrowed his eyes for a long time before he could tell where he was now. When he found that the sky outside was dark, it was obviously late at night, and he no longer dared to stay in bed, so he quickly got up. Now he is the head of the sect, which is second to this. The key is that he also promised a large group of people to go and watch the lights!

He pulled his shoes onto the bed, put on his clothes, shoes and socks in a few seconds, and then he quickly sorted out his hair. The simplest hairstyle without a crown came. He opened the door and saw that there were already many people standing outside.

When they found out that he came out, the little monkey was the first to shout: "Brother Yue Jiu, it wasn't that I woke you up on purpose. They said that if you don't go to the lantern market, you will not be able to stand and you will have good seats!"

Several girls who were the most noisy just now laughed, and Zhu'er even raised her head and said, "I'm right, it's almost the hour of You, and it's going to be dark. If you don't leave, will you look at the light or the people?"

"Don't worry, I've booked the entire third floor of Chaoyun Tower on the street of Dengshi. In this way, all the good seats next to the window are our own. Just facing the lamp building of our Wuying Pavilion, you can watch it casually, and you can see enough of the colorful lanterns and lantern buildings on most of the streets. The dumplings and snacks on Chaoyun Tower are also great, and the wine and food are at least careless. As for the disciples of Xuan Dao Temple who are obliged to patrol the night, they can also regard it as a base camp when they are tired."

There are no unfamiliar people in the place of Chaoyun Tower who have been in Jinling City for a little longer. At this time, Xiao Jingjing couldn't help asking: "Since you have already booked the entire third floor of Chaoyun Tower, you still have to bring the extra food at noon? Isn't it good for those people in Xuandao Hall to go to Chaoyun Tower for midnight snacks after patrolling the night? The food in such a cold day will not break, so you can eat it tomorrow."

"Young Palace Master, there are a hundred people in Xuandao Hall, and there are dozens of people in Wuying Hall now. To add nearly two hundred yuan to one, how big do you think Chaoyun Tower is to accommodate so many people?"

Speaking of this, Yue Qianqiu glanced at Xiao Jingjing, who suddenly fell silent, with a subtle expression on his face. He felt that her reaction was a bit strange, but he didn't have time to dig deeper, so he just clapped his hands and said, "I'll go and tell Sun Li who will keep the value tonight, and then we set off."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly looked around with a strange look. Where is the little fat man?

Zhou Jiyue first saw his doubts and answered actively: "His Highness of Jin will return, and King Ying will go with him. I asked us to tell you before, but they almost forgot."

This little fat man who is heavy and light! Yue Qianqiu cursed in his heart angrily, but he was not without ease. Without a guy with a sensitive identity as the little fat man, he should be very comfortable tonight!

During the day, Princess Ping'an and Nuonuo could not watch the fun, but at night he agreed to them to watch the lanterns. Otherwise, he would not be able to use his grandfather's name to cover all the third floors of Chaoyun Tower!

Although it is not a day to set the lanterns on the Lantern Festival, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The emperor will only visit the city tower to watch the lanterns and show up in front of ordinary people on this day. Therefore, many special lanterns made by high-ranking officials, including the various palace lanterns made in the imperial palace eunuchs, will only be released today. Because of this, even many female family members of the official families come out to watch the lanterns on this day.

However, in this case, cars, horses and sedans are often blocked by people, and the major restaurants and restaurants on the streets of Dengshi have naturally become the first choice for women to enjoy the lanterns. The second and third floors facing the streets have often been booked out long ago. If the background is slightly worse, it is difficult to find a stool on the chaotic first floor.

Of course, it is only on this day that those guys will see a lot of wealthy styles from high-ranking families.

At this moment, on the second floor of Chaoyun Tower, several servants set up screens at the door of a private room by the window, set up steps, and then put on chairs, bedding, and tea sets... The posture was not like looking at a light, but more like moving. The four words of Jiangling Yu Family were enough to make those spectators who disagreed with it, and only people muttered behind their backs: "Since it is Jiangling Yu Family, why don't you go to the third floor?"

Several young ladies from the Yu family, who were covered with fur outside the brocade clothes, followed Yu Jianzhong's wife, Mrs. Xie, upstairs and walked through the obstacles. When they heard this sound, the girls couldn't help but feel unhappy.

However, the third floor was booked three months earlier, and the Yu family in Jiangling had to give some slight family. This was reposted by Mrs. Xie, so they naturally did not dare to comment, but after sitting down, someone outside talked too much.

It was obvious that other people had booked a elegant seat on the second floor, but they were not very awe of the Yu family in Jiangling: "The entire third floor has been packaged long ago, and even the Yu family in Jiangling could not compete. I remember that there were no partitions on the third floor. In the past, the screen was still quite private. There were at least a dozen tables, and it would cost to cover them all. Who would be so arrogant?"

"It's not that the owner of Chaoyunlou is weird. Whether it's the second floor or the third floor, the private room is not completely separated. Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether it's the second floor or the third floor..."

Several young ladies of the Yu family couldn't help but go to see Mrs. Xie. Seeing her face as usual, she looked at her confidant maid making tea. Although they were all a little dissatisfied, they could only curse the talkative nouveau riche women outside. However, just as the servants outside were busy taking care of the steps that led to the stairs, they heard bursts of laughter coming from downstairs.

"Mom, that's here! Go faster!"

"If mom can run and jump like you, that would be great! Slow down, mom won't keep up with you... Alas, sister-in-law, how can you help me?"

"You have invited us to see the lights together. What can I do if I can help you? Chang'an, help your aunt!"

Hearing the last voice, Mrs. Xie whispered a few words to another maid beside her. The man immediately hurriedly ordered the maids to slowly remove the steps that led to the stairs. The next moment, when the footsteps from the stairs were getting closer, Mrs. Xie had already stood up.

When she saw a little girl rushing upstairs in front of her head, followed by a long-standing boy, followed by two women joining each other to the last step, she laughed: "I said before that I had waited for the Lantern Festival and then went to Yuexiang's house to visit. I didn't expect that I would meet here so by chance today."

The eldest lady had heard that the female relatives of the Yu family in Jiangling were on the second floor at the second floor. She said to Princess Ping'an in advance. Seeing Mrs. Xie greeting herself, she pulled Princess Ping'an over and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that today is the place that Qianqiu ordered, and I am here to benefit from it too. You have met my second and third brothers and sisters, and this is the fourth brothers and sisters. Qianqiu has a lot of guests, all of them are young people. We are old, and we may come down to bother you, Madam."

Old Master Yue once praised the young daughter-in-law in front of Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong. Mrs. Xie also heard from her husband. Because among the three daughters-in-laws in the Yue Mansion in diplomatic relations in the past, the eldest wife was the most respected, so she was really curious about what kind of person the daughter-in-law of the fourth house was. At this time, she could not help but carefully examine the young young woman held by the eldest wife.

Seeing someone smiling, he bowed his knees as a polite manner. He was a little thin. At first glance, he seemed to be weak. But when he looked closely, he was clear and elegant. He felt happy from the inside out, especially the faintly visible dimples, which made the book more lively and vivid. Yue Xiuyi was already bowing with Nuo Nuo, and Mrs. Xie couldn't help laughing.

"It turns out that good character is, no wonder the best in front of my master said so well. What's even more rare is that the ninth prince of your family is famous in Jinling City. I was worried when I heard that my serious mother was back. But I think so, when his sister came to Jinling, I heard that he often took people out to play in person. If he could take care of his sister, he would naturally be filial to his mother."

"Qianqiu is a very good child." Princess Ping'an smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, which was very similar to Nuonuo's expression at this time. "He is going to take over Xuandao Hall today. Nuonuo and I originally wanted to go and watch the fun, but first, there are many people, and third, when he promised me to find a place for me to enjoy the lanterns, but I didn't go. It was a pity that I didn't see his glory."

She sighed regretfully, and found that her sleeve was being pulled. She looked down and saw that it was her daughter. She was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Nuonuo to say, "Mom, brother is here! Listen, it's the sound of the bell hanging around Snow White's neck!"

When Mrs. Xie heard her husband mention the horse that was also very famous in Jinling City, she knew that the name of the mount had passed by the emperor. At this time, she was surprised at Nuonuo's confident judgment, but the next moment she heard a clamor coming from downstairs.

Although the husband who invited Yue Qianqiu to visit her home was not her, and she couldn't tell the voices of many young men for a while, she realized that there were many people coming, but she was still a little hesitant.

Bu Zha has rarely been used these days, but the Yu family in Jiangling is still using it because the customs of the Yu family are still distinct from men and women. When she heard the sound of the servants behind her quietly moving the screen, she felt a little relieved. You know, today, not only daughters, but also nieces and nieces came out. It would be fine if they only met Yue Qianqiu, but it would be inappropriate if there were more people coming.

Sure enough, in a short while, she heard the sound of footsteps of dongdong. Then, a young man with a bare head, no hat, and no headscarf appeared in front of her. The next moment, she saw Nuonuo pounce on the person like a laced swallow throwing into the forest.
