Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 018

The full moon is full, and the autumn colors are boundless.

Suddenly, Xiao Li ushered in her first Mid-Autumn Festival in this world.

It's strange that on such a day when the bright moon sends lovesickness, she doesn't have the kind of joys and sorrows that Master Su has.The only thing in her heart is a deep gratitude to God.

Thank God for giving her such a warm family after she suffered misfortune.

On the night of mid-autumn, the General’s Mansion was very lively. Everyone enjoyed the lanterns and ate mooncakes. It was a kind of indescribable family harmony when the family was together.

But the fun things are far more than that.

Just when Xiao Li was planning to stop going out and just stay at home to watch the moon with her parents until dawn, news came from the lobby of the front yard that Sister Yuwen had come to meet her.

Xiao Li was a little confused for a while, so, isn't Mid-Autumn Festival a day for families to reunite and enjoy the full moon?Why is Sister Yuwen still coming here to look for her at this time?

"A Li, you haven't celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital for many years, right?" Yuwen Ruocai took her hand and said to her excitedly: "You don't even know that the Lantern Festival in the capital is now It was much more lively than when we were young. Let's go, let my sister and I take you out for a stroll tonight."

"Uh..." It's nothing more than going out to enjoy the lanterns, what's the fun, in fact, Xiao Li wants to stay with her parents more in her heart.

But how could Yuwen Ruocai follow her wishes: "A Li, hurry up! Let me tell you, today under the imperial city, there is a lantern festival hosted by the crown prince himself, which is fun for the people." It is said that at that time, even Li Saijun from the most famous Liufang Pavilion in the capital will perform on stage."

Who is Li Saijun, Xiao Li has never heard of it.But this crown prince...

If Li Saijun is a beautiful star in modern times, then the crown prince is undoubtedly the standard tall, rich and handsome, right?

It is said that women are born gossip lovers, this includes Xiao Li, and of course it is no exception.The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a joyous day, and now there are actually ready-made cultural evenings in the capital, and there are ready-made handsome men and beautiful women for viewing.So at this moment, Xiao Li's heart naturally began to waver a little.

But she had clearly agreed with her parents that she would stay with them at home tonight.

Xiao Li was a little confused for a moment.

But even though she was really conflicted, she couldn't help that she still had a good pair of parents!

At this time, the general had come to Xiao Li cheerfully: "A Li, since Miss Ruoxue and Miss Cai'er have already come to invite you, you might as well go out with the two of them to have fun OK."

"But Daddy..."

The general's wife also came over at this time: "Okay, okay, mother doesn't know you yet, she clearly thinks something wrong in her heart, so why don't you still put on face with your parents?"

Xiao Li pursed her lips when she heard it: "Father, look at what my mother said." She felt wronged!

When the madam saw her like this, she suddenly laughed: "Okay, mother is teasing you on purpose. Mother knows that my Li'er is a filial child, but because of this, parents can't tie you up every day. Beside me. Today is already a lively day, so hurry up and tidy up, and go out with Xue Er and Cai Er later to have a good time."

Only then did Xiao Li finally laugh again: "Thank you mother." Then she turned around and gave a blessing to the general: "Thank you dad too." Turning around after speaking, she took the piano sword and quickly entered herself boudoir.

When Xiao Li appeared in front of everyone again, she had already changed into a set of red clothes with a rose red dress of the same color underneath.A translucent smoke-colored shawl is worn on her shoulders, which seems to reflect her beautiful face painted with bright makeup, making people look like they are in a dream.

"Wow—A Li, you look so beautiful like this!" After going downstairs, Yuwen Ruocai who was waiting for her at the door suddenly exclaimed loudly.

"I told you beforehand, we will go to see the Lantern Festival presided over by His Royal Highness later on, and the princes and nobles who will be present at that time must be eighty if not one hundred. If you get there, A Li, As long as you show up, I guarantee you will amaze the audience. At that time, maybe you will meet a wishful gentleman there!"

Seeing her startled look, and listening to her startled words, Xiao Li almost fell down the stairs without a single step: "Fuck you! What are you talking about, you bad girl? I see you today It’s not bad to dress up at night, just like a fairy in the nine heavens. You dress up so beautifully, do you also plan to find a good man among the hundred and eighty princes and nobles?”

Seeing the two of them like this, Yuwen Ruoxue couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.After a while, she straightened her face: "Okay, okay, you two, fortunately, one of you is the daughter of the general's family, and the other is the second lady of the prime minister's house. A very good lady, But I don't feel ashamed at all. Giggle..." As she spoke, she couldn't help giggling again.

"Okay, even sister, come and laugh at us! Let's see how we deal with you!" Hearing this, Xiaoli and Yuwen Ruocai all rushed to Yuwen Ruoxue's side, and they were about to stretch out their little hands to tickle them.

Yuwen Ruoxue was so scared that she quickly raised her hand to beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, sister, I know I was wrong, can't I know that I am wrong? You two adults have a lot, so please forgive my sister this time!"

Seeing them like this, the general's wife couldn't help laughing so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth: "It's okay, you guys, get ready to go out quickly. Otherwise, the people outside will become more and more in a short while. If there are too many, then you will not be able to squeeze in front, then you will be so busy for nothing."

On the night of mid-autumn, the city of Lingjiang was really lively!

Because there are too many people, everyone can't ride a horse or a car, but can only walk.As for Xiaoli and Yuwen sisters, each of them brought their own maids, followed by several guards with extraordinary skills. This group of people really attracts attention wherever they go.

Along the way, lights are brightly lit everywhere, just because every family erects the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter rich or poor, every household in Lingjiang City will hang a few lanterns at the door, first to mark a good omen, and second Also try to be happy and lively.

With the gradually increasing flow of people, the group finally arrived under the imperial city.

It was the first time for Xiao Li to see how the ancients celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.Looking around, it seems that the scene where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had fun with the people was really not faked.

Under the imperial city, it was originally a place with strict guards.But at this time, a magnificent platform was erected on the square with a radius of hundreds of square meters.

Dozens of lanterns are bundled around the stage, looking like fiery trees and silver flowers from a distance.And in the gap between the four big trees, there is a circle of colorful lanterns, which is even more dazzling.

The candles on the stage were brightly lit, so that the princes, grandchildren and ordinary people standing under the stage could clearly see everything on the stage from afar.

It's a pity that Xiao Li and the others really got the general's wife right.Come here and take a look, the scene is full of black heads!

After much difficulty, the big guy squeezed into a suitable position under the stage.Xiao Li raised her head, but saw a very dignified old man in yellow robes suddenly walking out of the stage.

"Miss, look, the man's robe should be embroidered with dragons, right?" Qin Jian's eyes are really good, and he can see that the old man's clothes are extraordinary at a glance.

Xiao Li understood immediately: "You are stupid, that person is the current emperor!"

As soon as Xiao Li's voice fell to Qin Jian's ear, a deacon in blue came forward on the stage with a whisk in his hand: "Everyone in the audience of Da Ling Kingdom, the Emperor is coming to see you this evening. coming……"

This sentence really works.As soon as Xiao Li raised her head, she found that the people around her were all half shorter than her.She was so frightened that she quickly bent down and knelt down with everyone.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The slogan of the ancient people is always the same and will never change.However, Xiao Li was no exception, she still followed suit and yelled out the slogan loudly.

"All my subjects—let's all be at peace!" Listening to the emperor's tone, Xiao Li could feel that his complexion seemed to be pretty good.

"Today is the full moon again, and it is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. I am so happy. I miss you too, so I came here specially to have fun with you and have a reunion festival with you , What do you all think?" Xiao Li couldn't help but feel another twitch in his heart, it seems that the emperor is quite close to the people.

"Holy Majesty Long En, the grassroots are very grateful!" As expected, this move was really powerful--the people were all grateful.

Xiao Li didn't even remember what the emperor on the stage said next, anyway, she just went to flirt with herself.It was not until later that she seemed to hear the word 'Prince' that she regained her composure again.

When he looked up, he saw that the emperor on the stage had already turned around and left, but at this moment standing in his original position was a frail young man who seemed to have passed his age.

"His Royal Highness!" Yuwen Ruocai who was beside him suddenly pointed at that person, leaned into Xiao Li's ear and introduced, "A Li, have you seen it? The person on the stage is the present His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh..." Xiao Li raised her head and replied, "So he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Sure enough, he is a handsome guy, but why does he look so sick?

But at this moment, Yuwen Ruocai suddenly sighed in Xiao Li's ear: "Oh, His Royal Highness' martial arts is excellent. It's a pity, since sister Youlan left, he has never done it again. The spirit of the past is gone!"

"Sister Youlan?" Xiao Li didn't understand, and couldn't help turning her eyes to see Yuwen Ruocai.

Yuwen Ruocai's eyes suddenly filled with tears: "Yes, Sister Youlan was supposed to be the princess, but many years ago she suddenly contracted a terminal illness, and she never recovered from that illness. "

After Yuwen Ruocai finished speaking, he cast his eyes on the people on the stage again: "Since then, His Royal Highness has also been sick. Until now, seven or eight years have passed, and his illness has not improved. But I I often think about it, the reason why His Royal Highness is like this is probably because he misses sister Youlan too much, right?"

It turned out to be a seed of infatuation.

Xiao Li couldn't help turning her head along with Yuwen Ruocai's movements, and raised her eyes to look at the frail young man on the stage. Upon closer inspection, she felt an unprecedented fondness for him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also spoke to the people in the audience, but when he spoke, he was often accompanied by coughing.Not only that, Xiao Li even heard a trembling voice at the end.Xiao Li knew that it must be caused by his lack of physical strength.

Fortunately, after saying something, the deacon beside His Royal Highness stepped forward and helped him to sit on a row of chairs directly behind the stage.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Li's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, because suddenly a group of men in various costumes came up to the stage one by one, and then sat down one by one beside His Highness the Crown Prince.

Maybe there's nothing else, but it just so happens that Xiao Li knows all these people.
