"Hibiscus Tent" 63

When he lowered his head, the man's eyes hidden behind the mask quickly glanced at the bustling crowd, and at a glance he caught sight of Lu Wan who was holding a dressing mirror in front of her, hiding without losing sight.

Suddenly, the back of his ears tightened, and Lu Jiuxiao sneered and looked away. Shen Shitiao was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I'll tie it again."

As soon as those little hands stretched forward, they were pressed down. The man glanced at her sideways and said, "That's it."

So, she didn't insist anymore.

Only after taking two steps forward did she realize that her hand was still held by Lu Jiuxiao. He was holding a piece of flesh in her palm, pressing it once after taking two steps, pressing once after taking two steps...

She blinked and turned her attention elsewhere.

Perhaps it was because she was wearing a mask that she couldn't see Lu Jiuxiao's face under the mask, so her steps became brisk.

There was a circle of people surrounding the lantern riddle shop in front, and the old man placed the prize high on the table. It was a cage of snow-white miniature rabbits, which could be held in one hand.

She was a little excited for a moment. After taking a few steps, she pulled Lu Jiuxiao's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, there are many people there. Maybe the person you are looking for is hidden there. Let's go over and have a look."

Lu Jiuxiao glanced at her direction and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, but there was no need to make such a poor excuse...

"Okay." He said reluctantly.

There were many people here, people were rubbing against each other, shoulders were brushing against each other, and elbows were touching elbows. Lu Jiuxiao turned sideways impatiently, trying to avoid contact with others.

But he saw that the girl beside him had raised her head high and looked at the word puzzle hanging on the table.

He endured it before suppressing the urge to pull her away immediately.

At this time, the old man took out a crossword puzzle note, cleared his voice and said: "Broken Bridge Can Xue is not satisfied with it, please type one word in this sentence."

As soon as the clapper struck, Shen Shiting said the word "frost".

Maybe he spoke too quickly, so the old man paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young girl is smart, she is the character for frost."

Under the mask, half of the face was exposed, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised.

The old man unfolded another crossword puzzle note and said, "You don't need to say anything to invite people to come. Please type a word."

The little girl stood on tiptoes, and her whole body jumped slightly, "Qian."

Lu Jiuxiao subconsciously looked sideways and saw that she was so lively that she almost jumped in front of someone, so he stretched out his hand to pull her back.

Next, she answered quickly and accurately, and soon she surpassed the people before her, and her record was far ahead.

"My heart is still as cold as ice water, just type one word."

Because Shen Shiting answered too quickly, the old man could only look expectantly at the little girl wearing a red fox mask.

She said "hmm" and said, "It's the word pity."

In the crowd, someone shouted and asked: "Girl, you can speak clearly, how can you say pity?"

Shen Shitai explained: "A heart as cold as ice is called 'heart cold', and when Shui'erzhi removes the two dots of water from the word cold, it is called 'ling'. Heart and order are combined in one place, isn't it the word 'pity'?"

She was right. This crossword puzzle is just splitting and combining words. It is difficult to calculate, but it is just a matter of speed.

He lost to a little girl, and everyone sighed, but they had no choice but to accept it.

The old man personally handed over a cage of rabbits. Seeing the man behind her wearing a silver fox mask, the old man smiled and said, "Young master is lucky, my little lady is very smart."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao glanced at the head in front of him.

Is she smart? She is really smart. Why didn't he realize that she was quite eloquent before?

And Shen Shitai paused at the corner of his mouth, and then he remembered that there was another person behind him.

She didn't even ask Lu Jiuxiao if she was allowed to take the rabbit back to Songyuan. After all, the prince didn't seem to be such a kind-hearted person.

Just when the little girl was hesitant and embarrassed, Lu Jiuxiao saw through her thoughts at a glance.

To be honest, before, he would have asked her to find someplace nearby and throw this thing away, but now he couldn't say it.

He glanced at me and said, "You can keep me if you want. You can take care of me yourself."

Shen Shiting's face lit up with joy, "Thank you, Prince Xie, I will take good care of you and never cause any trouble to you."

Lu Jiuxiao curled her lips and said nothing.

After a while, the crowd dispersed and continued moving forward.

Stop and go, the time is getting late.

Lu Jiuxiao saw that she was a little tired, so he said, "Are you hungry?"

Shen Shitiao subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but she was really hungry, so she had to say "hmm".

Soon, the two of them arrived at Wangjiang Tower and took off their masks.

Lu Jiuxiao opened his mouth to tell the names of several dishes. He saw her eating a few extra pieces of crispy pork last time, so he ordered two of them, as well as a pot of fruit wine.

The fruit wine at Wangjianglou is the least intoxicating and is only for young ladies to try.

At this moment, several Kongming lanterns floated out of the window. Shen Shiting looked sideways and saw the dazzling river surface not far away, with colorful lanterns flowing with the waves to the other end of the bridge.

On the other end of the bridge is a bamboo forest, which is not as bright as this one.

Shen Shitai asked curiously: "Your Majesty, where is that?"

Lu Jiuxiao glanced at her fingertips, curled his lips and said, "That's where the sneaking is."

Shen Shitiao was stunned and glanced suspiciously. It didn't look like there were chickens and dogs in that place...

Suddenly, a chuckle fell in her ears, and before she could raise her head, she was grabbed by the waist and pressed against the window.

Lu Jiuxiao leaned over and pressed her lips against the warm lips, making the little girl moan.

He said: "This is it, do you understand?"

Shen Shiting was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant by "stealing". The tips of her ears turned red and she glared at him. However, this glare made Lu Jiuxiao's eyes darken and he lowered his eyes to look at her. , there was no movement for a while.

He raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "Don't look at me like this, or you'll be doomed."

After hanging out with him a lot, she could immediately understand the meaning of "it's over" in his mouth.

Therefore, she ate this meal very seriously and did not dare to look around.

After leaving Wangjiang Tower, Lu Jiuxiao saw that she was not interested in going down any more, so he took her into the carriage.

Shen Shitiao hugged the rabbit cage and said slowly: "Is the prince's person missing?"

Lu Jiuxiao said "Yeah", "It's difficult to find someone at night, so let's do it during the day."

"oh."

She secretly glanced at the man leaning on the couch, and saw that under his stiff nose, his thin lips were gently closing together, and his fingertips were teasing the poor rabbit restlessly.

----------

Lu Jiuxiao did not return to the Hou Mansion, but went to Xiyuan nearby.

He took the cage from Shen Shitai's arms and handed it to Xianyun, "Take it down."

Xianyun was startled and took it as if he had seen a ghost.

Xu Shi was extremely tired and returned to the east wing. After the two of them took a bath, they lay on their sides on the couch and were silent for a while.

Lu Jiuxiao twirled a bunch of the girl's black hair, and swept the ends of her hair across her neck, making her itchy and she couldn't help but move a little.

Suddenly, Lu Jiuxiao said in a hoarse voice: "Turn around."

She was startled and turned over on her side. As a result, she was lying on her side face to face with him.

The man propped himself up on his elbows and reached out to touch her collar.

Shen Shiting shuddered and closed her eyes sensibly. Soon, her only middle coat was taken off.

However, Lu Jiuxiao was not as anxious as before. Instead, he slowly stroked her body downwards. His fingertips seemed to be filled with ice, causing a shiver wherever he went.

For a moment, his hand stopped at the gap between the tender pistils.

Shen Shitai choked and breathed heavier.

Lu Jiuxiao looked at her and asked patiently: "Do you want to?"

Her eyes were red, but she bit her lip stubbornly and refused to respond.

"Weren't you quite eloquent when you were guessing the crossword puzzle just now?" Lu Jiuxiao pinched her chin, "How come I'm so mute?"

He pressed that place and asked, "Do you want to do it?"

The little girl let go of her teeth and let out an unbearable cry. She put her arms around his neck and said, "Your Majesty..."

This can be considered a response.

Lu Jiuxiao couldn't hold it in any longer. He was suffering even more than she was. Once he heard her tender cry, he couldn't hold back anymore and leaned forward, all the way down.

The night is seductive and the orioles are singing.

After a burst of clouds and rain, Shen Shiting listened to the gurgling water in the room and looked out the window at the bright white moonlight, feeling lost for a moment.

Those clothes, jewelry, food, tonight's so-called "person search" parade, he let her put on a mask, guess charades, and even brought back a rabbit that Lu Jiuxiao would not like at first glance...

And in the crowded streets, she could clearly see the impatient look in his eyes, but she still held it back...
