Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 123; Lantern Festival

After worshiping the ancestors, the family went to several mansions with which they had good friendships.

As for why there are no relatives, the main reason is that the Huo family has no relatives anymore, and the few distant relatives who are related by blood are all from Huo Jingzhi's hometown thousands of miles away.

Firstly, the blood relationship is quite far away, and secondly, the journey is also very far. If we really have to go back, it will take ten and a half months to come back.

As for the palace, it belongs to the eldest princess Ningyang’s natal family, so just go there on the second day of the first lunar month.

Although he didn't have many relatives in the capital, Huo Jingzhi had a lot of good friends, all of whom were old brothers who followed the Supreme Emperor and the current Emperor to conquer the world together.

They are not real brothers, but there are a few people who have close friendships.

After walking around continuously to pay New Year greetings, it was already dusk.

The night of the first day of the first lunar month was very lively. The emperor personally issued a decree to lift the curfew, so today the streets of Chang'an are brightly lit and full of tourists.

There was laughter and laughter everywhere.

"Yao Yao, there is a lantern festival today, do you want to go?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao turned to look at her second brother Huo Jinyan, her eyes shining.

The ancient lantern festival has only been seen in books or movies and TV series before. In this ancient time when there were not many night entertainment facilities, the lantern festival at the beginning of this year is definitely one of the most fun places.

"Okay, I haven't seen the lantern festival yet."

"But second brother, don't you need to accompany your friends?"

Huo Jinyan smiled and shook his head and said, "I made an appointment with a friend yesterday. If my little sister wants to go, she will go with my second brother."

"Don't worry, not only are the men there, but also sisters from various families will be accompanying them. There are quite a lot of people."

Huo Junyao nodded suddenly. Isn't this a large-scale fraternity party or team building?

Although she didn't like liveliness very much and didn't have many friends in her previous life, she would occasionally participate in large-scale team-building activities.

"Okay then"

She said and turned to look at her parents beside her.

Both of them had gentle smiles on their faces.

"If you want to play, just go."

After speaking, Huo Jingzhi did not forget to tell Huo Jinyan to pay more attention to protect his sister's safety.

"Go ahead. You have been in the capital for so long. You should get to know more young people and make some friends."

Regarding her daughter's temperament, Princess Ningyang now doesn't want to be so unclear about her daughter's temperament as she was at first.

During her stay at the Hot Spring Villa, she realized that her daughter preferred freedom, and sometimes she looked like a little butterfly having fun.

But she is also very lonely. She just does her own thing in her own three-quarter acre of land every day. She rarely communicates too much with others unless necessary.

I have to say that Princess Ningyang is still pretty good at judging people.

Huo Junyao's character is indeed similar to what she said. She likes freedom. After all, she is a person in the open society of later generations. In comparison, the rules and twists and turns in ancient times are too restrictive to her.

As for loneliness, in fact, it should be more accurate to say that she is withdrawn. After all, her previous birth was very ordinary. People around her from childhood to senior year often looked at her with strange eyes, and she was also a person who immersed herself in studying and did not love much. When communicating with others, over time my personality becomes somewhat withdrawn.

After coming to Yu Dynasty, she felt even more lonely.

After all, she is unique in this Yu Dynasty world. Although there are many people around her every day, she has a kind of loneliness that is different from others.

Many of her thoughts, practices, and even some of her words are very different. There is almost no one around you to chat with. How can you not be lonely in this situation?
Therefore, it is good to live a new life, and traveling through time with a golden finger is also great, but loneliness is also really lonely.

Huo Junyao smiled and nodded. She didn't object to making friends or anything, but she was just afraid that no one would dare to get too close to her.After all, what happened last night was quite a big fuss, and she had already openly confronted the prince's family.

In these powerful circles in the capital, utilitarianism definitely far outweighs sincerity.

The brother and sister left in a carriage.

I have to say that Huo Jinyan made appointments with quite a few people, almost 20 of them.

And the majority of them are young women.

Although the rules for men and women in the Yu Dynasty were not as perverted as those in some dynasties, women, especially young girls, would inevitably make their families worry when they went out.

Therefore, there are more people who follow their brothers at home.

"Jin Yan is here, hurry up"

At the door of the restaurant's private room, a young man in his prime smiled and said hello. When he looked at Huo Junyao, who was following Huo Jinyan, his words stopped abruptly.

Then he quickly saluted and said, "I have met Princess Zhaode."

As soon as his voice came out, the private room that was originally bustling with chatter and laughter suddenly became quiet, and more than a dozen people looked at the door.

Seeing this scene, Huo Jinyan frowned slightly and thought to himself that he had made a mistake. Why did he forget about his little sister?

I thought that I would not get together with these people and take my little sister to the lantern festival alone.

Huo Junyao seemed to have expected such a situation. She didn't feel embarrassed at all and said softly, "No need to be polite."

Then, she looked at her second brother Huo Jinyan and said, "Second brother, how about I go to the lantern festival by myself?"

Now that the atmosphere was like this, she felt that if she continued to follow these people, she would disturb their interest, and she herself would not be able to have a full time.

Adhering to the idea of ​​letting everyone go and letting herself go, she thought it would be good to play alone.

"Yao Yao is here too, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Just when he was angry and depressed, a clear female voice sounded.

Huo Junyao turned around and saw her future second sister-in-law Fang Zhilan walking over from the box with a surprised smile on her face.

She originally planned to go to the lantern festival with her mother and sister-in-law today, but her elder brother said that Huo Jinyan had invited many young people to play with them today.

She is also a young person, so she naturally prefers to play with young people and follow my mother and sister-in-law, but she is more or less reluctant to let go.

Of course, apart from this reason, she also knew that Huo Junyao was also in the capital. Since Huo Jinyan was going to play at the lantern festival, would she take Huo Junyao with her?

She liked and admired this future sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

"I've met my second sister-in-law."

As soon as she said these words, Fang Zhilan's steps suddenly stopped, her pretty face that was originally smiling suddenly turned red, and her small eyes glanced at Huo Jinyan's shy face.

Although she was going to get married to Huo Jinyan in less than a month, they were not married yet. Huo Junyao could just call her this in private, but now she was in front of so many people.

Also blushing was Huo Jinyan, who was not as embarrassed as his younger sister-in-law.

"Little sister, don't bark nonsense"

"Nonsense? No, it'll all happen sooner or later anyway. It's okay to practice now, right?"

As soon as he said this, the young man standing at the door first also smiled, his eyes constantly moving back and forth between Fang Zhilan and Huo Jinyan, his eyes full of teasing.
