Chapter 362 Looks familiar
Can you not want to?
But after thinking about it again, seeing his unruly look, Shen Tang refused to admit it, "I don't want to."
Xie Guimo chuckled, "Really?"
What a bastard.
"I miss you every day, during the day and at night."
I have to say it out loud, aren't you tired of it?
But this guy not only doesn't get tired of it, he actually enjoys it.
When they reached the street, there were too many people and the carriage could hardly move. Xie Guimo got off the carriage and helped Shen Tang down.
Looking at the crowded streets, it was crowded before it got dark. Shen Tang liked the atmosphere of thousands of lights. She thought Xie Guimo could not accompany her for the New Year this year, but she didn't expect that he not only rushed back to Beijing, but also accompanied her to visit the lanterns. Shen Tang felt so satisfied in her heart.
Ginkgo and Qiutong didn't expect that they could all come out to see the lanterns. They knew that as long as they followed the Crown Prince's Consort, everything would go well.
But it was not good to have too many people on the street, as it was easy to get squeezed. Shen Tang was pregnant and did not dare to be bumped into. Chen Qi led the way in front, Chen Shan followed behind, and the two maids were on Shen Tang's right and left. Xie Guimo protected her, and no one could get close to Shen Tang.
It was this feeling of being squeezed around by people and being moved in a circle that was so annoying.
The looks they gave her were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, as if they were saying that she was made of tofu dregs and that she should stay in the house and not come out in fear of being squeezed out.
Shen Tang, "..."
As they walked from the beginning to the end of the street, it was getting dark and the street became even more lively. What made Shen Tang even happier was that she met Yun Yi, and Chu Yi also accompanied her to view the lanterns.
Yun Yi was also happy to see Shen Tang. Shopping is better for women to do together as they can chat with each other.
Seeing Xie Guimo, Chu Yi said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to make it back to Beijing for the New Year, but I didn't expect you to make it back in time."
"By the way, who was that old man who came to Beijing with you today? He looks familiar, but I really can't remember who he is."
Chu Yi was only a few months younger than Xie Guimo. When he was young, he often went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to play, so naturally he had met the Duke of Zhenguo.
Xie Guimo said, "You are too curious."
"It couldn't be less serious. You don't know, when you were riding over today, the Marquis of Changping happened to be coming from the other side of the road. When he saw the old man, he was so scared that he almost fell off his horse. The Marquis of Changping is a big shot in the court. Who could scare him like that?"
Ever since Xie Guimo and Prince Yu became close, Chu Yiluli and the others had more interactions with Prince Yu. Now, the Xuanyi Marquis' Mansion and the Minister of War's Mansion have already sided with Prince Yu.
Marquis Changping is the uncle of King Qi. Since he participated in the fight for the throne and wholeheartedly supported King Yu, he naturally paid more attention to King Qi's party.
At that time, Chu Yi wanted to call Xie Guimo and tell him about this, but when he talked to Lu Li for a few words, Xie Guimo disappeared. He thought that since he had returned to Beijing, there would be plenty of opportunities to ask him, but he didn't expect to meet him in the evening.
He was an impatient person and wanted to find out the truth about things he was curious about right away, so he asked immediately.
Shen Tang pulled Yun Yi to go over there to see the lanterns. When she heard Chu Yi's words, she paused and turned to look at Xie Guimo.
Xie Guimo asked, "Are you sure that the Marquis of Changping was frightened when he saw that old man?"
Chu Yi nodded, "Of course, Lu Li and I saw it."
Given the ruthlessness of Marquis Changping, it was hard to imagine who could scare him like that. Chu Yi was very curious about what important figure Xie Guimo had invited to come to Beijing during his trip. It was obvious that this person could suppress Marquis Changping.
Xie Guimo and Shen Tang looked at each other and both felt strange.
They say that if you have done nothing wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night, let alone in broad daylight. Old Master An looks a lot like the Duke of Zhenguo, but the Marquis of Changping shouldn't be that frightened. Most people would only wonder if the Duke of Zhenguo is still alive, not be afraid. The Marquis of Changping's reaction...
More like guilty fear.
Considering that the Duke of Zhenguo and his two sons died on the battlefield, they were murdered by someone. Could it be that the person behind the murder was the Marquis of Changping?
Xie Guimo immediately ordered Chen Qi, "Send someone to protect Old Master An's family."
Chen Qi accepted the order and withdrew.
Chu Yi looked at Xie Guimo with a bewildered expression.
Who is this person? Not only do we have to send secret guards to protect him, we also have to go there immediately.
Xie Guimo said, "The old man you saw today who looked familiar is the cousin of my grandfather, the Duke of Zhenguo."
Chu Yi was shocked. "Are there any relatives in the Zhenguogong Mansion?"
No wonder he felt so familiar, it turned out to be like the Duke of Zhenguo.
That’s good now. The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion has a branch, and heirs can be adopted to inherit the title.
Chu Yi was happy for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Xie Guimo.
He wanted to drag Xie Guimo to find a place to drink, but Shen Tang and Yun Yi were both pregnant, so he didn't dare let them out of his sight, so he could only follow them wherever they went.
Fortunately, the team was getting bigger and bigger, and soon they met Xiao Xun and Zhao Xi. After walking half a street, they saw Xiao Huan and Princess Roujia again. After all, there were not many lantern festivals held in Kyoto, and it was New Year's Day, so the court was on holiday. Xiao Huan was not busy and had time to accompany Princess Roujia.
Lu Li and Liu Ruoer also came, but Prince Yu and Miss Wen did not. They were in the palace to accompany the emperor and the empress dowager, but there were too many rules in the palace, so they felt more free outside the palace.
It is more lively when there are more people. People walk around and try all kinds of snacks. They have a lot of fun.
After walking around for over an hour and being exhausted, we reluctantly parted ways and agreed to meet at the same time and place tomorrow night.
The servant drove the carriage over, and Xie Guimo and Shen Tang took the carriage back home.
Afraid that Shen Tang would be tired, Xie Guimo carried her back to Chenxiangxuan.
The Chenxiang Pavilion was brightly lit, with hundreds of lanterns lit in the courtyard, but there were few people around. Ginkgo called out, "Where are the people? Where have they all gone?"
There were only two maids at home. Mother Zhou came over and said, "I saw that the Crown Prince's wife went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Crown Prince also returned to the capital. I guessed that you would go to the Lantern Festival tonight, so I sent the maids in the yard out to play."
After all, it only happens once a year, so let’s do whatever makes us happy.
Mother Zhou has always been considerate to the servants and is respected by them.
Shen Tang nodded, "It was my negligence. I should have arranged it before leaving the house."
Gingxing took Mother Zhou's arm and said, "The Lantern Festival is so lively. Mother Zhou, it's time to go out for a walk."
Mother Zhou laughed. "I'm already so old, yet I still love to play around like you young people. There's hot water in the kitchen. Go get it and let the prince and princess rest early."
Ginkgo and Qiutong didn't go back to the house, but went straight to the small kitchen.
Shen Tang took a comfortable hot bath. Just as she lay down on the bed, Xie Guimo came back.
Xie Guimo looked at Shen Tang, "Tired?"
Shen Tang nodded slightly.
Xie Guimo said, "Then go to sleep."
He also lay down, and Shen Tang just looked at him. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out his hand towards him.
Xie Guimo raised the corner of his mouth, turned over and pressed her under him.
