As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 220 River Lantern
On New Year's Eve, the entire Holy Capital was bustling with people.

The night market next to the overpass was even more crowded.

A carriage was parked in the corner beside the bridge.

The woman in the carriage carefully opened half of the carriage window, pointed to a small stall selling porcelain dolls outside, and asked, "Miss, that one looks very beautiful. Would you like me to send someone to buy one to play with?"

In the car, a girl wearing a snow-blue terry cape with a white terry cape looked at the porcelain doll with dull eyes, her lips opened and closed, "Is it beautiful?"

"It's quite beautiful." Nanny Liu smiled and said, "It's very well done."

"Oh." Chen Shulan nodded, "If grandma thinks it looks good, it must look good."

Aunt Liu smiled and joked, "Young lady is really good at talking," but she felt painful in her heart.

When she glanced at Chen Qingci, who was standing beside the carriage with a sword at his waist and his eyes lowered in silence, her mood became even more complicated and troubled.

She naturally knew Chen Shulan's affection for Chen Qingci.

There is no result between the young lady and the domestic slave. Now that Chen Qingci has devalued himself as a slave, it would be good for both of them to stay away from the young lady.

But it happened that the young lady was so sad and met a father who didn't know how to love her.

He was scolded and punished every day.

Aunt Liu watched Chen Shulan not thinking about food and tea, gradually losing weight... How could she, the wet nurse who had taken care of Chen Shulan since she was a child, not feel sad and uncomfortable with Chen Shulan like a walking corpse?

Thinking that today would be a festive day, Grandma Liu asked Marquis Pingzhang in advance to take Chen Shulan out to relax.

I don’t know what Pingzhang Hou has been busy with recently, but he agreed without asking any questions.

Aunt Liu didn't want to cause her young lady such pain, so she took it upon herself to send someone to summon Chen Qingci to protect Chen Shulan.

But it seems...she shouldn't do this.

After Chen Shulan only glanced at Chen Qingci, her whole person exuded a kind of sadness from the inside out. She didn't need words or any expression, but it made people want to cry even if they were close to her.

What kind of evil did the young lady commit? All these things happened to her.

Until now, Nanny Liu doesn't know how to persuade or do anything to make Chen Shulan happy.

"Mammy."

Chen Shulan suddenly said: "I want to get out of the car and take a walk."

"it is good!"

Aunt Liu quickly responded. She leaned down first, then helped Chen Shulan down, carefully arranged her cloak, and accompanied Chen Shulan towards the downtown area.

Chen Shulan went to the stall of the porcelain dolls that Grandma Liu had mentioned and bought all the ones she saw that were decent.

I bought some other miscellaneous things along the way.

After walking for a while, she pointed to a crowded place not far away, "What are you doing there?"

"It's juggling."

"I want to see."

Aunt Liu frowned.

There were too many people in that place, from all religions and schools, and she really didn't want Chen Shulan to go there.

But seeing that Chen Shulan kept staring there, wanting to take a look, Grandma Liu had no choice but to sigh and motion for the guards behind her to follow closely.

Qing Moss and Ling Lan accompanied Nanny Liu to guard Chen Shulan. Chen Qingci and the other two guards squeezed out a spot for Chen Shulan.

Chen Shulan was pushed in front of the crowd.

She watched those people perform their special skills, and the people around her cheered excitedly, but she herself felt no happiness at all.

Come down to hang out, walk around, and buy things, all just to make grandma feel at ease.

She knew that Mammy wanted her to be cheerful.

But being happy doesn’t come with hard work.

She couldn't even smile.

Poof!At this moment, the juggler blew and suddenly a burst of fire came out.

The people around him screamed even more excitedly. Under the crowd, someone accidentally fell and was stepped on. The screams were mixed with the shouts and cheers.

Someone shouted: "Get out of the way, I stepped on someone."

Someone in the crowd started pushing and shoving.

The juggler didn't hear it and kept breathing fire.

I don't know who used force to push out a man who was watching the excitement, but he actually hit the flames sprayed by the acrobatic man.

There was a scream, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Chen Shulan was squeezed into the crowd.

She was stunned for a moment, watching her grandma, Moss Lily of the Valley, and Chen Qingci being squeezed further and further away from her...

She didn't feel panicked, and actually felt as calm as water for a while. She didn't struggle, and just let herself get farther and farther away with the crowd.

"Miss--"

Aunt Liu shouted, anxious: "Why are you still standing there, get the young lady back quickly!"

……

After being squeezed by the crowd for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Shulan finally stopped.

But now I don’t know where it is.

She stood on the busy street, raised her eyes and looked around for a long time, not knowing where to go.

A woman's laughter could be heard on the boat in the distance, and many river lanterns were floating on the river, with everyone's wishes plastered on them.

There were two women nearby who were laughing and joking with each other in low voices, talking about their parents, lover, brothers and sisters.

Chen Shulan watched for a while and then came to the river.

The old man selling river lanterns enthusiastically recommended the prices of various types of river lanterns, "Miss, you can buy one too."

Chen Shulan thought for a while, then took off a priceless bracelet, but chose the most ordinary river lantern. The old man selling the river lantern was frightened and chased him several steps, "Miss, I don't have any money to give you!"

Chen Shulan walked away.

On a boat not far away, the dancers were wearing light gauze, dancing with exquisite and enchanting postures, and a few carefree young men were changing cups and laughing happily.

One person suddenly said: "Xie Wu, what are you looking at?"

"I see an acquaintance." Xie Changyuan shook his fan and leaned lazily against the window.

He had had a few drinks today, and now his eyes were slightly drunk, showing a bit of evil charm.

The young master on the side sighed, "Monster", "No wonder those girls can't move when they see you. Who can stand someone like you?"

Xie Changyuan smiled and stood up: "You guys have fun, I'm going home."

"Going home so early?" said the person from before: "When is this!"

"I can't help it. My sister will scold me if I come home late, and my sister will beat me." Xie Changyuan frowned and said, "I have to behave myself."

The others made a sound of "cut" and laughed and made a few noises before Xie Changyuan got out of the boat and sat on the boat again on the shore.

"Master, are you here to buy lanterns too?"

The old man still introduced it enthusiastically.

Xie Changyuan was about to leave, but when he interrupted him, he paused for a moment, "It's stupid to exchange bracelets for lanterns."

"Bracelet..." The old man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "The young master and the girl just now are together, right? The bracelet is with the old man. Such a precious thing can be bought from a hundred old man's stalls."

"The old man didn't dare to keep it secretly, so he just thought about how to return it to others!"

As he spoke, he took out the bracelet and wiped it clean carefully, "Master, go and coax the lady, she looks very bad."

Xie Chang Yuan: "..."
