Chapter 13
"Reply to the young madam, Brother Dong has been locked in the room by the young master and is not allowed to come out."

so weird?
Dou Lianyi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a flicker of doubt flashed in her heart.

Only then did Lu Shangxuan come back to his senses. He stepped forward and glared at the talkative slave, and then explained with a guilty conscience: "Lian Niang, Brother Dong has been feeling unwell these past few days. There are too many people at the Lantern Festival, so let's give him a try." Let him rest at home."

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi didn't care a word, but waved to Fu Qing, who had been silent from behind, to come forward and said lightly: "Then let Fu Qing go out with us and learn more."

After that, Bai Zhi and Fu Qing boarded the carriage waiting in front.

Lu Shangxuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly mounted his horse and followed closely behind.

By the time Bai Zhi helped Dou Lianyi get out of the carriage, the lights were on and it was very lively.

The lanterns hanging on both sides of the market have different shapes, and the lights are blooming like stamens. Everyone passing by stops to admire them.

The noise and frolic sounded in the ears, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Boys and girls occasionally look at each other and smile shyly, which often arouses cheers from the friends behind them.

"A good east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom on a night, and even blows them down, making the stars like rain."

Dou Lianyi held Bai Zhi's arm and walked slowly along the flow of people, but she couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

At this moment, a gentle man's voice sounded beside her, and he was reciting the second half of the poem.

"But all I saw were moths, snowy willows, golden wisps, and laughter filled with hidden fragrance."

Hearing the sound, Dou Lianyi frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced to the side, wanting to see who was trying to spoil her mood at this time.

Unexpectedly, the person who answered the poem was a handsome young man wearing a mask whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

He has a slender figure, wearing a moon-white silk gown, and a simple jade belt embroidered with bamboo leaves with dark patterns. An ivory fan hangs on it, swinging slightly as he moves.

"you……"

As soon as Dou Lianyi made a sound, he was noticed by the other party.

He turned sideways, turned his back to the thousands of lights behind him, lowered his head, and calmly met Dou Lianyi's gaze.

Even with the mask, it couldn't hide the light in his eyes that was brighter than the stars. For a moment, Dou Lianyi was slightly distracted.

"Bang, bang!"

The sound of the crowd seemed to disappear in an instant, and she could only clearly hear the faster and faster heartbeat in her chest.

At this time, there were loud bangs one after another in the distance, and fireworks bloomed in the sky, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all shouted loudly and rushed over there.

"Hey, don't crowd me, young lady, be careful!"

The crowded crowd hugged Bai Zhi and Dou Lianyi. They moved forward uncontrollably and were immediately separated.

The young master had already nimbly moved back to avoid this wave of people. Looking at Dou Lianyi walking away, a glimmer of interest flashed in his eyes.

"Master Qin, Mr. Lu has disappeared since he dismounted. There were too many people at the Lantern Festival, and I lost track of him."

Fu Qing didn't know what had slipped over and stood beside him and said guiltily.

"It doesn't matter."

The young master wearing a mask was Qin Mu. He raised his hand and touched Fu Qing's head, then leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Find a way to stop others from going to the other side of the moat?"

Fu Qing blinked, his eyes full of confusion.

Qin Mu smiled and didn't explain much. Instead, he patted his shoulder and urged: "Go."

He himself walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of the moat against the flow of people, and disappeared into the distance after a while.

At this time, Dou Lianyi finally squeezed out from the noisy crowd, but Bai Zhi and Fu Qing didn't know where they were.

She held up the hem of her skirt and walked lightly up to the steps next to her. She scanned the crowd from a high position, but found nothing.

Dou Lianyi simply wasn't in a hurry to go back. Anyway, the prince's palace would eventually send guards to look for her.

But she didn't know where she was going now. Looking at the crowded crowd not far away, she had an inexplicable illusion that the world was vast and there was nowhere to call her home.

"Miss, would you like to buy a lantern to make a wish?"

The stall owner on the side saw this very beautiful girl standing on the steps for a long time without moving, looking a little lonely, so he greeted her warmly.

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi raised his head and glanced at the night sky. The blessing lanterns flying into the sky almost made it look like daylight.

"No, the sky is full of wish-making lanterns," Dou Lianyi smiled and declined: "I don't know when it will be my turn to make my wish come true."

The stall owner's eyes lit up and he pointed to the lotus lantern he placed in the corner of the stall and recommended: "Miss, you can try this. You can put it in the moat and float along the current. It's so beautiful!"

Dou Lianyi felt a little curious, so she walked down the steps and took a look at the lotus lanterns that no one cared about.

The shape is very lifelike, and red paper is thoughtfully attached to the stamen, making it easier for the young lady to write words on it.

And you can faintly smell a unique fragrance from the stamens.

"Five coppers each. Here is a brush and ink. Miss, you can write whatever you want," the stall owner gave Dou Lianyi a lotus lantern and joked, "We don't want to crowd around others, sincerity is what matters." "

This made Dou Lianyi amused. She took out five coins and handed them to the stall owner. She frowned and thought for a while. After writing a few lines with her brush, she did not forget to ask: "By the way, where is the moat going?" Walk?"

"Well, miss, just go straight ahead, and then turn right when you see the bridge. There are not many people there, so it's easy to put lotus lanterns."

Dou Lianyi nodded, holding the lotus lantern and walking in the direction pointed by the stall owner.

After a while, a man sneaked out from the alley behind.

The man first looked around in the alley and found that no one was paying attention. He quickly asked in a low voice: "How did things go? Did you follow what I told you?"

"Don't worry, everything goes well," the stall owner patted his chest, and then sighed: "But it's really strange that your young master wants to invite a young lady to an appointment, and you actually want to use this method to lure her over."

"Put the money away, and don't talk too much when you're not supposed to ask!"

The man hid at the entrance of the alley and never showed up. His voice was deliberately lowered so that no one could distinguish him. He threw out a bag of silver, and then the man immediately retreated.

When the money fell to the ground and there was no movement behind him, he turned around. The alley was already empty.

Dou Lianyi didn't know that she had taken the bait yet. She walked straight until she saw the bridge.
