On the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Ji Xiangzhen came to visit Yue Jiao, brought her some snacks and gadgets, and invited her to celebrate the New Year at Ji's branch in Yashan.
But on the one hand, she didn¡¯t understand the Chinese New Year customs and was afraid that she would be out of place; on the other hand, she was also preoccupied and not in the mood to have fun, so she politely declined.
She really had a lot of questions in her mind, and she was confused about the lawsuit.
For example, when we first met in Feisha Town, why did Yan Huailang call himself "Yan Wu" instead of "Yan Er"?
Why did Sir Si Qinhong mistakenly think that he was the concubine raised by General Wei? And he thought she was being coerced.
Why does she always feel like someone is following her around her every time she goes out?
General Wei said, "That was a trap set by Yan Xiaoer for others." What happened?
Also, why did General Wei say "She is Yan Xiaoer's person"?
She vaguely felt that with Wei Chong's tight-lipped attitude, the only way to get answers to these matters was by asking Yan Huailang.
However, since the evening of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, when she asked Wei Chong to return the car of gifts to its original owner, not only did Yan Huailang never appear in front of her, but even Wei Chong never came again.
She wondered if Yan Huailang might have misunderstood her return of the gift and thought she was going to break up with him and stop being friends.
Several times she wanted to ask Yan Huailang to explain this problem, but after going out, she found that she didn't know where to look for him, so she could only go back to study dejectedly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After noon, Ji Xiangzhen, who had not seen him for half a month, came to Xiange Lane with great joy and invited Yue Jiao to go to the lantern market to watch the lanterns together in the evening.
"I only have half a month left. I don't even have time to read a book. How can I have the time to watch lanterns." Yue Jiao rubbed his eyebrows, sighed sadly, and muttered in a low voice.
Ji Xiangzhen let out a "tsk" and simply reached across the desk and took away the book in her hand: "Have you ever heard of 'relaxation and relaxation'? Is it possible that you can pass the exam just by reading these books for half a day?" Is he a bachelor of Zhaowen Pavilion?"
These words made Yue Jiao couldn't help laughing. She curved her lips slightly and gave him a helpless look: "I know you are lying, but it sounds like it is really the case."
However, when she mentioned "Master of Zhaowen Pavilion", she couldn't help but think of Si Qinhong; when she thought of Si Qinhong, she naturally thought of Wei Chong. Then she thought of Yan Huailangand the questions that had been bothering her for half a month, as well as the vague uneasiness she had felt these days.
"By the way, do you know where Master Yan's family is?"
Her sudden conversation made Ji Xiangzhen confused for a moment, and he answered after a moment: "Oh, Mr. Yan, his family is Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion."
"Hey, do you think he is at home today?" Yue Jiao bit her lower lip thoughtfully, smiling faintly.
Ji Xiangzhen scratched his forehead in confusion, "Do you want to go and play with him? He rarely lives at home without seeing anyone."
Yue Jiao suddenly smiled and widened his eyes in confusion: "You don't live at home? Where do you live?"
"He sometimes lives in the official residence of the Supervision Department, and sometimes in the residence of his maternal grandfather, Marquis Gaomi." As he spoke, Ji Xiangzhen waved his hand, "Oh, it's not convenient for him to see us recently. I went to pay New Year's greetings a few days ago. They were all blocked by others. I asked the senior brother in charge, and it is said that it may be related to the recruitment of the Supervision Department at the beginning of next month. Something may have gone wrong, and His Majesty asked Master Yan to avoid suspicion."
Yue Jiao couldn't help but frowned: "How come His Majesty is involved again? Why do you want to avoid suspicion?" It sounded like Yan Huailang was in trouble.
"It's hard to say. Even my senior brother, who is in charge of the family, only heard a few fragments about this matter. No one can tell what happened." Ji Xiangzhen crossed his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other hand, his eyes full of thought.
"Anyway, among the people who should be recruited by Your Secretary this time, we are the ones who have the closest personal relationship with Mr. Yan. The current situation is unpredictable, and since we can't help, it's best to avoid it consciously and avoid provoking him less. Right and wrong are always right.¡±
Seeing that Yue Jiao seemed a little anxious for Yan Huailang, Ji Xiangzhen said a few words of relief.
After all, Yan Huailang is the second son of Uncle Zhongyong and the direct grandson raised by Marquis Gaomi since he was a child. In addition, he has meritorious service, even if he encounters any trouble in the court, he will not be reduced to needing them. To the point where two and a half charlatans can help.
Yue Jiao is not a reckless and confused person. After thinking about Ji Xiangzhen's words carefully, he felt that they made sense, so he suppressed the confusion and worry in his heart and waited until the end of the attack at eight o'clock in February.

&?, whispered in her ear: "Then be careful, I will play for a while and then take you back."
Yue Jiao smiled and nodded to reassure him, then squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the tree in the street alley.
This alley is a branch of the main street of Lantern City. At this moment, everyone is on the main street and the alley is empty. Fortunately, bright red lanterns were hung on the courtyard doors of each house. The festive red light reflected the quiet alley in the dark night. Next to it was the lively and noisy main street of the lantern market, which contrasted with each other and created a different artistic conception.
Yue Jiao leaned on the side of the tree trunk facing the street, holding the fat doll's lantern in front of her eyes. She looked at the smiling fat doll silently with aggrieved eyes, and there were many things going on in her mind.
She was thinking about many things and became distracted unconsciously.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but I heard a faint sound next to my ears. Yue Jiao¡¯s whole body shivered, and he immediately came back to his senses. He turned around and looked into the shadows. His eyes were as cold as the river water in winter, and he said coldly: "Come out!"
Children who grow up in the mountains and forests are the most alert in the dark night. This is an innate talent. The slight movement just now was definitely not the sound of someone passing by by chance, but an attempt to get closer to her quietly.
As she spoke, the dagger Ji Xiangzhen gave her slipped from her sleeve into her palm, and she was ready with cold stars in her eyes.
With a gentle sigh of laughter, Yan Huailang slowly emerged from the shadows.
At this time, he was covered with a large black cloak, his whole body was covered tightly, and his head was covered with a hood, only half of his face was exposed, and his thin lips were faintly smiling.
But Yue Jiao still recognized him at a glance.
"Come here, I will be in trouble if someone sees me." Yan Huailang smiled softly, his voice deliberately kept soft, as if he was afraid that someone would discover his whereabouts.
Yue Jiao quickly put the dagger in her hand pocket back into her sleeve and ran over to hide with him in the shadow of the night.
"Is someone following you?" Yue Jiao also lowered her voice and asked him nervously, raising her head.
Although she didn't know what Yan Huailang's situation was at this moment, seeing his cautious look at this moment, she immediately understood that there must be a reason why he pretended to turn a blind eye to her just now.
So there was no more care in my heart, and the sun shone brightly like the dawn after snow.
Yan Huailang, half of his face hidden under his hood, nodded slightly and said softly: "Your clothes are too conspicuous."
ah?
Yue Jiao lowered her head and looked at her clothes. The goose-yellow material could not hide her movements in the shadow of the dark night. So she frowned in confusion: "What should I do? I"
She had many things to say to Yan Huailang, but she didn¡¯t want to implicate him and be discovered.
"I have something to tell you," Yan Huailang seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing, "Well, you can come over later."
Yue Jiao quickly came to him obediently, barely half a step away from him.
Unexpectedly, Yan Huailang's black robe lifted slightly, and he took her into his arms and hid them together in the large black cloak.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Because Yue Jiao didn't expect his move, she was wrapped in his arms unexpectedly. At this time, she was almost close to him, and she seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heartbeat.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, people in the world don't stick to trivial matters," Yue Jiao raised her face from his arms very calmly, looked into his embarrassed eyes and smiled, "What is that in your hand?"
"I just asked someone to give you a freshly made lantern," Yan Huailang smiled and handed the small lantern into her arms. "It looks like a pine cone. It's the only one in the whole capital."
A lantern shaped like a pine cone? This is too baffling.
Yue Jiao hugged the lantern tightly, but did not argue with him about the lantern. Instead, she asked with concern: "Have you encountered any trouble recently? Can I help you?"
"It's a little trouble," Yan Huailang paused, looked down at the anxious little girl in his arms, endured the ups and downs in his heart, and said with a smile, "I heard that the 'Red Cloud Goddess' can bless others. If If you can bless me, maybe I will be lucky soon."
Yue Jiao has given up her identity as the "Red Cloud Goddess" for a long time, and she didn't take the gold powder and cinnabar with her when she went out today, so she bit her lip and felt embarrassed for a moment before feeling his hand under the black robe and holding it.
Yan Huailang froze up suddenly at this stroke from outside, not knowing how to react. He could only let her hold his hand and reach between her eyebrows as if he was frozen.
The slightly trembling fingertips were gently pulled to touch the center of her eyebrows, and she heard her voice slowly, solemnly yet tenderly whisper: "Red Cloud Goddess Yue Jiao, I wish you peace, may you have everything you want, and be benevolent." "
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, next to the noisy light market, in a deserted dark alley, under the intimate embrace covered by black robes, the whispering words were like pearls and jade, ringing in Yan Huailang's defenseless heart. It was scattered all over the ground.
