No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

The Lantern Festival at Liushang Pavilion was divided into men and women, so Luo Junyao and Xie Yan seemed a little embarrassed.

It seemed that it was inappropriate for the two of them to go together. After thinking for a while, they turned their attention to Nanshi Street, which is not far from Liushang Pavilion.

Luo Junyao went back to the Liushang Pavilion first to talk to Mrs. Su and the two princesses, and then ran back to Xie Yan.Hand in hand, the two directly swept out from the high wall of the garden, and headed towards the very lively Nanshi Street.

Nanshi Street is very close to Liushang Pavilion Garden, but in a short while, people can see the crowds and lights on the street.

The street seems to be more lively tonight than on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, perhaps because the year is over after the Lantern Festival, and people want to seize this last night and have fun in order to prepare for the next one. Years of running around for a living.

There are young couples walking hand in hand on the street, and there are also families supporting the old and the young. There are also many walking alone with friends or alone. The two of them couldn't help but smile.

Originally, Luo Junyao's dress of the Princess Regent was quite eye-catching, but now that it's winter, she still wears a cloak, and she only removes a few hairpin ornaments on her head, so she doesn't look so eye-catching.

People on the street were busy watching the fun and enjoying the fun of the Lantern Festival. Apart from being amazed at the looks of this handsome couple, not many people paid attention to them.

Luo Junyao walked through the crowd holding Xie Yan's hand, and in his hand was a rabbit lantern that he had just bought on the side of the road.

"It's more fun outside. No matter how much the lights in the Liushang Pavilion look like, they are still fake after all." Luo Junyao laughed softly.

The Liushang Pavilion Lantern Festival also has the same market as this street, and there are also various stalls selling food, delicious refreshments and delicacies, as well as various performances.Even everything is much better than on this street, but in the end it still lacks a sense of nature and popularity.

Xie Yan said: "The Shangyuan Lantern Festival is also three days before and after. If you want to visit the Lantern Festival, you have time, but such a large-scale and casual gathering among the rich and powerful in Shangyong is rare."

Luo Jun shook his head to show that he understood that everyone knew that the Lantern Festival was not as interesting as going out by himself, but most people would still choose to go to Liushang Pavilion to participate in the Lantern Festival.Because this is not just a game, but also a communication between the powerful.

Excluding ordinary people, it is purely an activity between the rich and powerful.

Luo Junyao asked: "Do I want to hold such boring parties in the future?"

Xie Yan said: "If you want to do it, you can do it, but if you don't want to, it's okay."

In fact, this kind of lantern festival is not something that everyone can do if they want to. If Luo Junyao came forward to host it, he would definitely rely on his status as the regent princess.Generally, the person who hosts this lantern festival every year is not only valuable but also needs to be highly respected. Even when Empress Dowager Zhu hosted this lantern festival for the first time, there were still many people discussing it secretly.

Luo Junyao was not interested in this, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll make something more interesting in the future."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see what kind of event Yaoyao wants to hold."

Luo Junyao sighed and said, "Then you may have to wait for a few more years. It's not bad if you don't get scolded because of me when you go out in the past two years."

Xie Yan didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "Who dares to scold me?"

His Royal Highness the Regent didn't know at this time that in the near future he would really be pointed at his nose and scolded because of his princess.

But even if he knew about it earlier, he would probably still be happy with it.

Luo Jun turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "It's good to have this idea."

Xie Yan sighed helplessly, raised his hand to straighten her hair disheveled by the cold wind, and said, "You should take it easy when doing things, it will really piss off those old gentlemen, and it won't do you any good."

Luo Junyao nodded again and again, "No problem, I know."

While the two were chatting and laughing, a gust of wind suddenly came.

Xie Yan's eyes sank, he raised his hand and flicked his fingers to cut off the strong wind that broke through the air.

Looking up in the direction of the strong wind, he saw Shang Yue sitting at the opposite window on the second floor, raising his wine glass to the two of them with a smile.

"Shang Yue? Isn't he in the South Garden?" Luo Junyao naturally saw him, and asked in surprise.

Xie Yan said: "He only showed his face in South Garden and left soon."

Shang Yue grew up in the rivers and lakes, and he is not familiar with Yong's noble children.In addition, the Dingyang Marquis Mansion just had a funeral not long ago, and Shang Yue rejected the title of Dingyang Marquis Mansion. Even if other people want to make friends, most of them are looking for his younger brother. Naturally, Shang Yue is an idler.

The two walked hand in hand to the second floor of the teahouse where Shang Yue was. Shang Yue had already poured wine for the two of them, and there were only three light dishes on the table in front of him. It was obvious that he had been drinking here alone.

"You two, sit down and have a drink?" Shang Yue said with a smile.

"Thank you." The two sat down opposite Shang Yue, Xie Yan held up the wine glass and touched Shang Yue to drink it, but stopped Luo Junyao.

Luo Junyao was self-aware of his drinking capacity and didn't intend to drink at first, so he smiled at Shang Yue and said, "I'm too strong to drink, Mr. Shang forgive me."

Shang Yue shook his head nonchalantly, the waiter in the tea house had already brought over a pot of hot tea, which was obviously ordered by Shang Yue in advance.

"Why is Mr. Shang here alone?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

Shang Yue said: "I'm leaving Beijing soon, let's have a look at the bustling night scene of Shangyong."

"Master Shang really intends to ask Jiange back?" Luo Junyao asked.

Shang Yue raised his eyebrows, "Let's go back and have a look, and then... let's go travel around."

Luo Jun said: "Mr. Shang grew up in the rivers and lakes. If you think about the rivers and lakes, you are already familiar with them, right? This so-called travel, is it considered to be wandering without restraint or revisiting the old place?"

Shang Yue said with a smile: "The world is so big, the Central Plains is full of beautiful rivers and mountains, the beautiful mountains and rivers, the vastness outside the Great Wall, the beautiful southern borders, and the mysterious and boundless overseas. Even if you spend your whole life, you may not be able to go through them all, right?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "I understand, Mr. Shang wants to be a ranger?"

It was rare for Shang Yue to be choked up, and asked back: "Is the princess very interested in Shang's future?" After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Xie Yan with a meaningful teaser.

He somewhat knew that the Luo family had considered him as a future son-in-law, and even his father had thought about it.

It's just that the engagement between the Luo family and the Prince Regent's Palace was too fast, cutting off most people's thoughts.

As for Shang Yue himself, he is indeed somewhat curious and interested in the princess regent, but it is not the kind of interest that wants to join hands for a lifetime.

Shang Yue always felt that it was more appropriate for such a delicate and lovely girl to be cared for like jewels.It's really not suitable for someone like me to hold such a delicate pearl.

Xie Yan just glanced at him indifferently, his eyes still fell on Luo Junyao, he was not displeased with her words at all, only slightly indulgent.

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Not really, I just want to ask Mr. Shang for a favor."

Shang Yue was a little curious, "Princess, please tell me."

Luo Junyao asked: "Mr. Shang just mentioned overseas, I wonder if Mr. Shang is interested in going overseas?"

Shang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "Going to sea? Is that very dangerous? I heard that the Prince Regent's Mansion has obtained an overseas treasure map. Could it be that the princess intends to share it with you?"

Luo Junyao blinked innocently, "What treasure map? I don't know, don't you have to discuss this with A Yan? I mean, I have something to ask Mr. Shang for help."

Shang Yue said with a half-smile: "Is this... Then it depends on what kind of price the princess can offer. You know, there is Gaotang's mother in the next family, life is still very precious."

Luo Jun waved his hands and said, "Young Master Shang is thinking too much. I don't want you to go sailing and explore. Of course, if you want to go, I can also help you."

"Then what's the matter with the princess?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Mr. Shang, do you know about the Lin family in Zhangzhou?"

When these words came out, not only Shang Yue, but also Xie Yan's eyes were a little more surprised. Shang Yue nodded and said: "The Lin family of Zhangzhou? It seems to be Mrs. Xianluo's natal family? The princess's maternal ancestral family?"

Luo Jun shook his head and smiled kindly, "I would like to ask Mr. Shang to deliver a letter to my uncle for me."

"The princess wants to deliver the letter, but she is worried that no one can send her?" Shang Yue said with a smile: "Why bother to find me? It can't be that the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Luo family are not used? What's more, the Lin family is considered a big family. As for the fact that there is no way of contact in Shangyong, right?"

Luo Junyao sighed and said: "This matter is more important. If I send ordinary people, I don't feel at ease. If I send important people, I have no one in my hands. I can only use people from the Wangfu or the Luo family. Mr. Shang also knows Right now Shangyong has a lot of complicated affairs, and I'm afraid it will take three to five months to go, and I really can't leave. As for the Lin family, the Lin family said that my uncle is no longer in Zhangzhou or in the Central Plains. This matter is really important, the Lin family We can only find my uncle to convey the news first, and it is too troublesome to go back and forth."

Shang Yue said: "Such an important matter, the princess can rest assured to leave it to me?"

"Don't worry." Luo Jun shook his head and said.

"Why?" Shang Yue was puzzled, he is not very familiar with this princess, right?

Luo Junyao took it for granted: "Because Mrs. Shang said you are a good person."

"..." To this apparently perfunctory statement, Shang Yue was speechless for a while.He could only look at Xie Yan and asked, "Does the lord have any objections?"

Xie Yanwen said: "This is a matter of shaking oneself, and this king has no objection."

"..." Aren't you two husband and wife?
Shang Yue took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows and asked: "The concubine also said that this trip will probably take three to five months, so I can't let me go for nothing, right?"

"You want to ask me for money?" Luo Junyao looked at him with wide eyes, "Aren't you a good person?"

Shang Yue said expressionlessly: "I never said that I am a good person. Besides, good people also have to eat."

Seeing him like this, Luo Junyao couldn't hold back anymore.Pu Chi laughed, and then said: "Of course there are benefits, if the matter is successful, the future benefits will be shared with Mr. Shang."

"[-]%?" Shang Yue said with some disgust.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Don't you have such a big appetite? Even if it's [-]%, it's worth more than the entire Wenjian Pavilion."

"The concubine speaks loudly." Shang Yue said.

Luo Junyao smiled very complacently: "Why don't I be the regent princess? Do you want to do it? Think about it, you will ask Jiange that there is no future."

"Wen Jiange is my teacher after all, can you be more polite?" Shang Yue was a little helpless, "I don't know what the princess wants to do? If you lie to me, wouldn't it be a waste of my trip?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Why don't you come to the palace later, let's discuss it in detail?"

Shang Yue also knew that "everything is worth more than the entire Wenjiange" is definitely impossible to finish in a few words, so he asked: "The last question, why did the princess find me? Did we meet by accident tonight? You... It must have been a temporary idea, right?"

Luo Junyao thought about it carefully, then sighed and said, "Because, you are the only master I know who is relatively free." She can't compete with A Yan and her own father and brother.The status of princess regent sounds glamorous, but it is not easy to find a few powerful people to use it.

If someone is so capable, he doesn't want to serve with General Luo and the Regent, so why should he hang out with a princess like you?
No matter how good you are, you still have to rely on General Luo and the Regent if you want to be promoted, so why not just follow those two masters?Those who are not capable can save the country in a curve, and those who are capable are directly offered by others wherever they go.
