Chapter 91

  After walking around for a whole day, everyone was tired from walking.

  However, Han Xi Tong and Qing Ru Feng were also martial artists, so they didn't find the journey too tiring. Xiaohuan and Xiaowei were maids who had suffered since childhood, so they weren't tired either. Moreover, after strolling through the streets for a day, they became more and more excited.

  However, compared to others, Xuan Mei Chen's body was the worst, and everyone was worried about him, fearing that he would accidentally collapse from exhaustion. So, Han Xi Tong suggested returning home.

  Who knew, just as everyone was about to leave, they heard passersby saying that there would be a performing troupe in Baiyu Town tonight, and it was said that the town's mayor was celebrating his 50th birthday this year, so he invited an acrobatic troupe to perform for everyone to have fun. The performance venue of the acrobatic troupe is also in the square of Baiyu Town.

  That square was the most crowded place in Baiyu Town, so as soon as everyone heard that there would be an acrobatic performance on the square at night, they rushed to the direction of the square, planning to join in the fun.

  For the acrobatic troupe, Han Xi Tong was also unfazed, after all, when she was in the imperial palace before, Xuan Xiao Ran had also invited them once, at that time she had watched with great interest, and later, she even beat up Xuan Yang Lie in the lake.

  Now thinking about it, her ferocity back then, and the miserable state of Jing Yang after being beaten by her, now that she thinks about it, she can't help but burst out laughing.

  But she couldn't help it either and burst out laughing with a 'heh'.

  Upon seeing Han Xi Tong's smile, the two handsome men standing beside her couldn't help but say in unison.

  "What's so funny?"

  "Uh..."

  Hearing Xuan Mei Chen and Qing Ru Feng's questions, Han Xi's face turned red with embarrassment, then she smiled.

  "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some interesting things."

  "Oh, what interesting thing is Xi Tong thinking of?"

  When Xuan Xi Tong spoke, Zhen Mei Chen couldn't help but feel a little curious. Even Qing Ru Feng on the other side had a pair of black eyes filled with doubt, tightly fixed on Xuan Xi Tong's body.

  Facing their curious gaze, Han Xi only felt a numbness on her scalp, and could only force out a laugh, telling a lie.

  "I thought of the acrobatic performance I saw before which was very interesting and wonderful, so I couldn't help but laugh just now."

  Because she no longer wants to mention anything about the imperial palace, perhaps in the future she won't meet Xun Xiuran and others again, so now she even less wants to mention them, that would only make herself unhappy.

  As for her words, both Feng Ru and Xuan Mei Chen didn't suspect at all, and after hearing her words, Xuan Mei Chen became even more curious about this acrobatic troupe.

  Although he was a sixth prince, in fact, no one believed that he had never watched an acrobatic performance.

  After all, before he was picked up by the palace, he had been living among the common people for a long time and his life wasn't rich either, let alone watching acrobatic troupes that kind of luxury.

  After the incident at the imperial palace, he was tormented by insomnia and woke up for a short time every day. At that time, he didn't have the mood to look at those things, and lived in sorrow all day long.

  It's different now, his body has recovered and he can do what normal people do. Especially with the one he loves by his side, he really wants to do things they've never done before, like watching fireworks together, going for a spring outing, watching acrobatics, seeing her laugh out loud at interesting things...

  Thinking of this, Xuan Mei Chen couldn't help but gaze at Han Xi's eyes with a pair of hopeful eyes and said.

  "It sounds so interesting when you talk about it, why don't we go watch the acrobatics show later too?"

  "This..."

  Han Xi Tong was worried about Xuan Mei Chen's body being unable to take it, after all he had been out for a whole day and must be very tired.

  But now, looking at his eyes full of expectation and hope, like a child who wants to be recognized by adults, so touching, making people unbearable, Han Xi Tong lightly pressed her red lips and smiled.

  "Alright, since Meichen likes it so much, let's go watch the acrobatic troupe later. If we're too late to return, we can just find an inn here and stay overnight, then head back tomorrow!"

  "Hehe, Xi Tong is really good."

  When Xuan Xi heard Ming Chen's words, his eyebrows and eyes softened, and he smiled even more dazzlingly, just like a child who had received candy. Seeing this, Han Xi couldn't help but smile too, thinking to herself that he was indeed an easily satisfied man!

  "What's your opinion? Light as a feather?"

  Although agreeing with Xuan Mei Chen's words, Han Xi Tong also had to ask for other people's opinions.

  "Hehe, as long as you like it, I don't care."

  Apart from medicine and Hanyue, everything else is just a cold and indifferent facade. No matter how good the acrobatic troupe was, he still felt that it couldn't compare to his beloved medicinal herbs.

  However, as long as this little woman in front of him likes it, he is very happy to accompany her!

  Han Xi Tong saw that Qing Yufeng had no opinion and immediately said.

  "Great, then let's go see the acrobatic troupe tonight!"

  The final word has been spoken!

  ……

  Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, it's still very cold at night.

  However, on the other side of the square, because of the 50th birthday of the old master of Baiyu Town, people were invited to perform acrobatics in the square. Afterwards, a stage was set up early and a large tent was erected, blocking out all the cold wind outside.

  Moreover, there were many stoves placed around the tent, making it warm and cozy all around.

  It seems that this time, to celebrate his birthday, the old master of the mansion is really willing to spend money. However, it's just a small mansion, and inviting an acrobatic troupe alone has cost a lot of money. Adding such a luxurious tent must be very expensive.

  However, the darkness of officialdom and the fact that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away have made them greedy for more benefits. They naturally look down on these small amounts of silver, and with such a big birthday celebration, there are also many people coming to curry favor with gifts.

  When Han Xi Tong and several others arrived at the square, it was already crowded with people, packed to capacity.

  Although Baiyu Town is just a small town, it still has a lot of people.

  With the rare acrobatic performance, everyone wanted to join in the fun, and since it was free, even more people flocked to the square!

  When Han Xi Tong and her friends finally squeezed their way to the front, the acrobatic troupe had already begun performing.

  This acrobatic troupe is very popular in the Tianxuan Imperial Court, although Han Xi Tong also watched it last time, but now watching it again, it still feels quite interesting and fresh.

  Especially when she saw Xuan Mei Chen's face filled with joyful smile, her heart was also happy for him.

  "Xi Tong, look quickly! That lion dog is really going to jump through the ring of fire. Do you think this will be very dangerous?"

  "Don't worry, this lion dog has been trained many times."

  "Oh, ah, look, it jumped over, so cool!"

  "Hehe, yeah..."

  Jing Mei's eyes sparkled as he listened, and for a moment, he looked like an excited little kid, completely different from the first time they met.

  Han Xi Tong saw this and couldn't help but recall the first time he met Xuan Mei Chen, whose face always had that elegant and refined aura, with eyebrows and eyes as calm as water, pure and unblemished.

  Between his eyebrows, there was a faint hint of melancholy, just like the white lotus in the morning and evening, making people feel a deep sense of pity...

  But now he no longer has that heart-wrenching melancholy between his eyebrows, but is completely relaxed.

  That pair of lips that had regained their rosy hue now curved into a beautiful smile. Beautiful as the wind, moon, mist and flowers...

  At this sight, Han Xi's eyes widened in shock...

  However, as Han Xi's eyes were fixed on Xuan Mei Chen, she didn't notice the fleeting jealousy in Qing Ru Feng's eyes, and his handsome face slowly sank...

  ……

  The circus performance didn't end until midnight.

  It was already late at night then.

  The faint moonlight spilled across the entire land, and the trees and eaves cast dappled shadows on the ground.

  After leaving the square, a gust of cold wind blew over, causing the crowd to involuntarily shrink their bodies and then quickly leave with their arms wrapped around themselves.

  Although it was already late at night, the circus performance was so wonderful that everyone waited until the end before leaving, so for a while, the entire square was crowded with people coming and going, bustling with noise, and packed like a horse-drawn carriage.

  Because he was afraid of being crowded again, Han Xi Tong held onto Xuan Wu Chen's slender hand tightly once more as they left, while Qing Ru Feng led the way in front, using his tall and sturdy physique to escort the two.

  Seeing the gentle care, Han Xi's eyes involuntarily blinked with a grateful smile, and she smiled warmly at him.

  "As light as a feather, thank you."

  Hearing Han Xi Tong's words, Qing Ru Feng just smiled and didn't say a word.

  Then, Han Xi and the others walked slowly forward under the protection of Qing Ru Feng, avoiding the surging crowds.

  At the same time, right in front of Han Xi's eyes, there was a pair of horse and rider, hastily rushing towards this direction.

  "Fourth Highness, I've found out that the people from Rakshasa Pavilion are nearby."

  A guard in plain clothes was speaking respectfully to a red-clothed man with an evil charm at the forefront.

  "Hmph, after searching for so long, I've finally found some clues. This Luo Ye Ge, others also call him Yan Luo's killer. Hmph, in my opinion, they're just a bunch of rats, how can they hide? It seems like they're afraid of me!"

  Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, the red-robed man with red lips slightly opened his mouth and spoke. Moreover, it was not difficult to hear the anger in his tone at this moment.

  The moonlight is clear and white, softly sprinkling down, gently sprinkling on the man's body.

  All that could be seen was the man in red clothes, his black hair tied up with a single red hair tie, and the rest of it scattered behind him.

  The cold wind was howling, blowing his red clothes flying, and at a glance, it looked like a poppy blooming in the night, beautiful to the point of being enchanting.

  Even though the man had a furious expression at this moment, he still couldn't hide his outstanding demeanor. As a result, wherever the man went, he immediately became the focus of attention for passersby!

  And this person is none other than Xiang Yang himself!

  Looking at the late night, there were still so many pedestrians, and the front was even more lively. The sound of ancient music could be heard faintly, making Yang Lie's good-looking eyebrows slightly furrowed in confusion. He turned to look at the guard beside him and asked.

  "What's going on up ahead? It seems so lively!"

  "As for what His Highness said earlier, it's said that today is the 50th birthday of the White Feather Town Mayor, so they invited a troupe to perform on the tower platform in the square."

  When he heard about Yang Lie's culture, the guard immediately respectfully told him everything he knew.

  Upon hearing this, Jingyang Lie only lightly responded with an "en" sound, indicating that he understood. He then opened his mouth again to ask.

  "Where is Seventh Brother now?"

  "His fourth Highness has already received the news and is waiting for you at the front square!"

  "Alright, let's hurry over."

  Xuanyang Lie finished speaking and took the lead on horseback, heading forward.

  The guard looked at the surging crowd and knew that the Fourth Prince was delicate, fearing that he would be squeezed by the crowd, so he immediately cleared a path in front of him, also to prevent any sudden incidents from happening.

  Soon, Yang Lie saw Xiang Xiao Ran in the distance ahead.

  After all, although it's late at night and the crowd is surging around them, they are royalty, dragons and phoenixes among men, and wherever they go, they attract attention.

  Moreover, Xing Xueran, who is wearing a snow-white fox fur coat today, is particularly eye-catching.

  That outstanding appearance, that extraordinary aura, the noble quality that emanates from her entire being, is something that only royalty possesses!

  No wonder when passersby saw Xiang Xiao Ran, they couldn't help but glance over, and some young girls were already smitten. If it weren't for the robust and simply dressed guards standing beside Xiang Xiao Ran, those young girls would have rushed over long ago.

  When Yang Lie arrived beside Xiang Xiao Ran, he found that Xiang Xiao Ran was gazing into the distance with a distant look in his eyes, as if looking at something. Out of curiosity, he followed Xiang Xiao Ran's line of sight and looked over.

  Only then, in the midst of the crowded sea of people, a tall and sturdy man stood out!

  Wearing a dark blue robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his breath was steady, and at a glance, it was clear that he was no ordinary person.

  "Seventh brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with that man in green clothes?"

  Xing Yang asked in confusion, but as soon as his words fell, he immediately realized that Xing Xiao Ran had been staring at earlier was not the tall and slender man in green clothes, but...

  When he saw the slender figure being protected by that tall and handsome man in green, Yunyang Lie's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened involuntarily.

  Digression

  Wow, guess what they saw~ (^o^)~/

  A little girl in a pink dress and skirt stared coldly at the handsome young man who suddenly appeared, claiming to be her father. "Don't lie to me, you're not my dad!"

  A handsome man casually took a beautiful woman's picture from his servant's hand, smiling and coaxing, "Baby, this is the beauty picture I drew for your mother, with her signature on it!"

  The little girl took the beautiful picture with one hand, but she immediately opened her cherry mouth and stuck out her pink tongue to make a face at him. With a sly smile, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she waved her silk handkerchief, and suddenly, a group of small bees buzzed and attacked the man's handsome face. "You damned human trafficker, dare to cheat Little Lady me? You're simply asking for death! Get him, my little ones!"
