Once the Crown Prince Joins In

257: The lamp market is on fire

The Lantern Festival is the most popular festival after the Chinese Valentine's Day because today is a day when many young lovers can meet secretly.

Such a festival is destined to be cheerful and lively. Even before arriving at the lantern market, there are already huge crowds of people, making it difficult for horse-drawn carriages to move forward.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile, "How about we dismount and walk over slowly?"

Su Xinyi naturally had no objection. She was just a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look into the prince's eyes. She raised the car curtain and jumped out of the car.

Yang Jin:......

He lifted the curtain and lifted the loneliness.

The prince got out of the car and saw Su Xinyi's eyes staring at another lady who got off the car across the road. He saw the little girl across the street put her feet in front of the carriage, then stretched out her hand to raise the curtain to support her girl. The lady Only then did Luoluoban get out of the car.

Su Xinyi:......

She can do it too. She practiced secretly for a long time in her previous life in order to look better when getting in and out of the car.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's changing expression, raised the corners of his mouth, walked to her and said with a smile: "The lantern market is very big, where should we start shopping?"

Su Xinyi coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment, "Whatever, it's fine."

She had also been here during the Lantern Festival, but she came alone. Only once, she sat in a carriage and looked at the noisy and bustling lantern market that lasted day and night. She sat in the carriage for an hour without getting out of the car.

But it's different now.

"Then whatever."

Um?

Su Xinyi watched as the prince casually found a path to avoid the crowd and led her to walk slowly. There were vendors already standing on both sides of the street selling things.

After a while, the prince brought a bunch of candied haws back to her. Su Xinyi looked at the candied haws in front of her. They cost two cents a bunch. They were very cheap, but they were sour and sweet.

She raised her head and looked at the prince, "Your Highness, why do you treat me so well?"

Although her expectations for marriage are different from her earlier mood, she is still confused and unclear about relationships sometimes.

Just like in the previous life, she was not sad when Shang Junyan stayed away from her, she just ignored him.

However, His Highness was completely different from Shang Junyan. His Highness treated her very well, probably too well, which made her a little confused.

How can one person be so nice to another person?

Yan Junchu was a little surprised when Su Xinyi asked this question, but it was indeed her temperament to be so direct. He lowered his head to meet her doubtful eyes and said with a smile, "Because I want to be nice to you."

ah?

that's all?

Why do you want to be nice to her?

Probably because Su Xinyi's eyes were too straightforward, Yan Junchu chuckled, "Ayuan, why did you protect me when we first met?"

How dare Su Xinyi tell the truth? I can't say that I owe you a great favor and want to repay it.

Seeing Su Xinyi's face turning red, Yan Junchu still looked at her.

Su Xinyi knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to repeat what he said before, "Because His Highness is a very good prince."

"What happened next?" Yan Junchu asked again.

Su Xinyi:......

Looking at the blushing Su Xinyi, Yan Junchu couldn't hold back his laughter because of his embarrassment, "Ayuan, just like you are to me, why do you need a reason to be nice to someone?"

Su Xinyi knew that His Highness had misunderstood, but she could not explain the misunderstanding and could only acquiesce.

She felt a little guilty.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the lanterns." Yan Junchu naturally took Su Xinyi's hand and walked forward.

Su Xinyi looked down at the two people's hands, was stunned for a moment, and then raised her feet to follow.

His Highness's palms were dry and warm, just like his person, making her feel at ease and trust at all times.

Is this what you like?

Su Xinyi doesn't know much, but she knows that she is really happy now.

The entire lantern market runs east-west and crosses the entire street. Pedestrians rub shoulders and adults and children laugh. Su Xinyi walks side by side with His Royal Highness. Not long after leaving, she ate candied haws and drank gold and silver dew. Now she has a hand Holding the glass candies, the other hand held a mandarin duck lantern bought for her by the prince...

At that time, she took another look.

"Brother?"

Su Xinyi had a bad premonition when she heard this voice, but before she could gather her composure, she saw King Rong standing in front of her.

"Ouch, Su Xinyi, are you talking about the mandarin ducks competing with each other? Why are they not worthy of you?"

Su Xinyi's face stopped blushing, and her heartbeat returned to normal. She looked at Prince Rong and said immediately, "I also feel that Prince Rong is not worthy of this street."

As soon as King Rong heard this, he immediately hid behind his elder brother and stuck his head out to look at Su Xinyi, "So what if I don't deserve it? What do you want to do?"

"In order not to affect everyone's pleasure in admiring the lanterns, I think it would be better to 'send' the prince out of this street."

Although Su Xinyi said it was a gift, seeing the way she handed the things in her hand to Yang Jin to hold for her and moved her wrists, Wang Rong immediately thought of the way he was thrown out of the lantern market by Su Xinyi, with this look on his face But Dafa is lost!

"You said you are so intolerant of jokes, I'm just kidding. You and my eldest brother really couldn't be more compatible." King Rong said immediately.

Ah.

Su Xinyi reluctantly took back her outstretched hand. The man's face changed at any time, and the man's mouth changed at any time!

Rong Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at his eldest brother's sullen smile. He really lost his temper at all. He couldn't help but muttered: "Brother, are you spoiling her like this? Don't care about her now, or be careful that your husband will be weak in the future." .”

Yan Junchu also wanted to roll up his sleeves. Such a talkative brother really made people want to deal with him.

Yang Jin:......

His Royal Highness Prince Rong is usually very reliable, but why did he become childish when he met the Lord of Yong'an County?

King Rong refused to leave and insisted on going shopping with them. Su Xinyi didn't care, but the prince really felt that this younger brother was an eyesore.

"Eh? Su Xinyi, isn't that Shang Junyan?"

When Su Xinyi heard King Rong's voice, he raised his head and looked across the street. Sure enough, he saw Shang Junyan, but surprisingly, Princess Runyi was followed behind Shang Junyan.

King Rong was about to explode with rage. What was going on?

He walked over immediately without thinking. Su Xinyi and the prince looked at each other. They were also afraid that Wang Rong would cause trouble, so they followed him.

When the two sides collided like this, Shang Junyan looked at Su Xinyi in surprise, then at His Highness the Crown Prince, and then at the angry King Rong, and fell silent for an instant.

King Rong looked at Yan Qiongsi and asked, "Why are you here?"

Didn't Yan Qiongsi promise that he would not get involved with Shang Junyan?

Yan Qiongsi looked at her cousin and said with a smile, "I brought my maid here to enjoy the lanterns, and I happened to meet Prince Shang here, so I came over to say hello. Cousin, you are making too much of a fuss. Even if our marriage fails, the two families We are also good friends, we can't meet like enemies."

King Rong looked at Yan Qiongsi suspiciously, and finally looked at Shang Junyan, "Really?"

Shang Junyan felt that he shouldn't go out tonight. He didn't expect that Su Xinyi would come out with His Highness the Crown Prince to enjoy the lanterns. It was none of his business, but for some reason he felt dazzled when he looked at their hands holding each other tonight. very.

"Yes, the princess and I just met by chance." Shang Junyan recovered his thoughts and looked at King Rong and replied.

King Rong then calmed down a bit of his anger, looked at Yan Qiongsi and said, "Don't run around alone. Follow me."

Yan Qiongsi agreed obediently, "Okay, I just find it boring." After saying that, he looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and saluted, "But will it disturb His Highness the Crown Prince and the Lord Yong'an?"

Yan Junchu looked at Yan Qiongsi's eyes as he and Su Xinyi held hands, and said casually: "It doesn't matter, when we get to the intersection ahead, our seventh brother and I will enjoy the lanterns separately."

King Rong:?

Why didn't he know what happened when?

But when he saw his elder brother's calm eyes, he felt a little timid, so he acquiesced.

"Where is Prince Shang?" King Rong asked again, staring at Shang Junyan.

Shang Junyan said calmly: "When the intersection is ahead, I will return home."

King Rong frowned, "What do you mean by this? It seems like I want to kick you out."

The atmosphere among several people suddenly became awkward. Su Xinyi raised her forehead, wondering what the hell was going on.

Under the lights all over the street, the expressions of several people were clearly illuminated.

Su Xinyi was a little impatient. She just didn't want to get involved in anything involving Shang Junyan. Moreover, although Yan Qiongsi helped her last time, she could never turn her enemy into a friend.

Yan Junchu looked sideways at Su Xinyi's impatient expression, tightened his fingers slightly, and when Su Xinyi raised her head to look at him, he smiled at her and said, "Let's take a step first."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up instantly.

Yan Junchu's mood also became happy, and he said to everyone: "You guys chat slowly." After that, he held Su Xinyi's hand and continued to move forward.

Yan Qiongsi's eyes fell on their intertwined hands, and he took it back after a while.

Prince Rong looked at Shang Junyan and said, "I'll take Qiong Si over there. Prince Shang can do whatever he wants."

He deliberately specified the permission, hoping that Shang Junyan would not go with them.

Shang Junyan looked at King Rong and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Princess, please."

King Rong snorted, looked at Yan Qiongsi and said, "Let's go."

Yan Qiongsi raised his head and looked at Shang Junyan, "Goodbye, Prince Shang."

Shang Junyan said expressionlessly: "Princess, please go slowly."

After Shang Junyan finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left. King Rong was actually unhappy when he saw his gesture. Although he knew that Yan Qiongsi had done something wrong in the past, Shang Junyan looked so disgusted, which really made him feel unhappy.

Su Xinyi and the prince took more than ten steps and were about to speak when they suddenly stopped.

Yan Junchu looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, did you hear anything?" Su Xinyi looked at the prince and asked.

Yan Junchu shook his head, and suddenly he raised his head suddenly.

Su Xinyi looked at His Highness the Crown Prince's expression and immediately turned around. He saw a huge carp lantern that had been placed where they left before suddenly crashing down.

The frightened screams of passers-by instantly broke the lively lantern market, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Su Xinyi almost immediately grabbed the Crown Prince's hand and protected him through the crowd. Yang Jin followed immediately with his guards.

The prince looked at Yang Jin and said, "Go and see King Rong."

The place where the carp lantern fell happened to be where the three of them were.

Yang Jin immediately took the order and left, leaving two guards to protect His Highness, and immediately led the others to run towards King Rong.

The panicked crowd greatly hindered the speed of pedestrians, and there were screams and sounds of firefighting everywhere.

Su Xinyi was very strong. He separated from the crowd and quickly reached a safe corner. Looking back, he saw that the fire was already burning there.

Someone from a nearby shop immediately came out with buckets to put out the fire. When Su Xinyi saw it, he said to His Highness: "Your Highness, I'll go over and help put out the fire."

She is strong and fast, and can lift water faster.

"I'm with you."

"No, His Highness's safety is more important." Su Xinyi refused immediately. She looked at the two guards and said, "Protect Your Highness."

Yan Junchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the guards, and the two guards nodded in agreement.

Su Xinyi turned around and left. With so many people in the lantern market, it would be no joke if a fire broke out.

As soon as Su Xinyi walked away, Yan Junchu immediately said: "Let someone put out the fire, and then find out why the carp lantern suddenly fell."

"Your Highness..." One of the guards looked at His Highness worriedly, how could they leave.

Yan Junchu glanced at it lightly, and the two guards did not dare to express their anger, so they immediately took the order and left.

Su Xinyi took the bucket from the waiter in the shop next to her and immediately poured it towards the place where the fire started. With her strength, the bucket of water was poured on the place where the fire was raging, and the crowd cheered.

Su Xinyi turned around and left with the bucket, when suddenly she heard someone say: "County Lord, give you water!"

Before Su Xinyi could recover, the empty bucket in her hand was taken from her, and another bucket filled with water was handed to her.

Su Xinyi raised her head and looked at the other person. She didn't recognize him. When she saw the other person's honest smile, she didn't have time to say anything. She immediately turned around and poured the water out with all her strength.

This seemed to be a signal, and the others consciously handed the buckets to Su Xinyi, because they were not as strong as the county master, so their effectiveness in putting out the fire was naturally not as good as hers.

Su Xinyi:......

She bowed her hands to everyone, took the bucket and started to put out the fire. Because she was good at it, she could also jump to the roof with water and pour it down from top to bottom, which would have a better effect.

Su Xinyi didn't know how many buckets of water she poured on the fire. The fire finally became smaller. Others didn't need her to work so hard to put out the fire. Everyone rushed forward and the fire was quickly extinguished.

"The Lord of Yong'an County is mighty!"

I don't know who shouted, and soon everyone followed.

Su Xinyi was a little embarrassed at this time. Because she was eager to put out the fire, her shirt and skirt were stained with water, and her hair was a little messy.

She licked her hair, thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince, and turned around to take a look. When she turned back, she saw His Highness behind her, holding a bucket in his hand.

Su Xinyi:......

When did your highness come?

Yan Junchu put down the bucket in his hand, looked forward as if nothing had happened and said, "Someone dropped it in front of me, go and see who it is."
