The people also organized a parade of floats.

Dressed up in garish horses, a cart was driven by a pair of beautiful teenagers and young girls. They were carrying bamboo baskets in which were small pieces of caramel wrapped in glutinous rice paper.

They threw the caramel out, attracting looting from the onlookers.

These candies represent good fortune, and being able to grab the candies means that the next year will be full of good fortune.

True or not, this is a good sign.

So there are many people who grab candy.

Xiao Xixi doesn't know that these candies represent good fortune, she only knows that there is something to eat, and she must not miss it!

She knew that Luo Qinghan didn't like to squeeze around with people, so she pushed him away directly, then rolled up her sleeves, rushed into the crowd aggressively, and squeezed forward desperately.

Luo Qinghan stood there, watching her squeeze with a group of uncles and aunts with a blank expression.

He actually didn't want Xixi to be crowded with so many people.

But he didn't even say anything to stop him, and she was pushed away.

Remembering that he was pushed away mercilessly by her just now, Luo Qinghan's mood worsened, and even his expression showed a bit of gloom.

He didn't like the feeling of being pushed away by her.

Just when he was about to lose his patience and was about to let the guards rush over to get Xixi back, he saw Xixi finally squeezed out of the crowd.

Her clothes were a little messy, and the jade rabbit hairpin between her buns was a little crooked.

But she didn't care about this at all, she ran over, held up her hands, revealed two pieces of caramel wrapped in glutinous rice paper, and held it in front of Luo Qinghan like a treasure.

"Look, I got candy!

I just heard the auntie who grabbed the candy saying that these candies represent good fortune. As long as you eat candy, you will be full of good fortune and smooth in the coming year.

I deliberately grabbed two pieces, one for you and one for me, perfect! "

Luo Qinghan didn't expect to have his own.

He was slightly startled, and his eyes fell on the caramel in her palm.

Thin sticky rice paper, wrapped in small sugar cubes, lay quietly in her palm.

It is obviously a very worthless gadget, but it is especially precious at this time.

It represents her heart.

She wished him a happy and successful year ahead.

Xiao Xixi urged: "Get a piece!"

Luo Qinghan stretched out his jade-like slender fingers and picked up a piece of caramel.

He peeled off the sticky rice paper, put the candy cube to Xixi's mouth, and motioned her to eat it.

Xiao Xixi opened her mouth unceremoniously and took a bite of the candy.

While chewing hard, she swiftly peeled off another piece of caramel and handed it to Luo Qinghan's mouth.

Luo Qinghan didn't like sweet food, but at this time he opened his mouth without hesitation and bit the candy cube lightly.

Xiao Xixi said while eating, "It's so sweet!"

She smiled so much that her brows and eyes were curved, and a shallow pear vortex appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was so sweet that her heart softened.

Luo Qinghan stretched out his hand to help her with the jade rabbit hairpin, and helped her tidy up the messy clothes.

The floats continued to move along the street at a very slow speed, and behind the floats there were also dragon and lion dance teams.

After the people robbed the candy, they were reluctant to leave and continued to watch the wonderful dragon and lion dance performances.

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan also watched the dragon and lion dance for a while, and then went for a stroll elsewhere.

Seeing someone selling fried rice cakes on the street, Xiao Xixi couldn't help but buy a big one.

The rice cake was fried until the skin was crispy, and the outside was coated with a layer of soft white sugar. When you bite into it, you can hear a crunching sound. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, very sweet and a little sticky.

Xiao Xixi especially likes to eat this.

She ate several pieces in one go, and then poked a piece of fried rice cake with a bamboo skewer and handed it to Luo Qinghan to let him taste it too.

Luo Qinghan only took a bite and said he didn't want to eat it.

Xiao Xixi didn't force him, and directly stuffed the fried rice cake left over from his bite into his mouth, making his movements proficient and natural.

Luo Qinghan stretched out his finger and helped her wipe off the sugar residue on the corner of her mouth.

At this time, a little boy who looked seven or eight years old came over.

He was carrying a large bamboo basket in his hand, which contained many brightly colored flowers.

He handed over a bunch of flowers and asked expectantly.

"Uncle, can you buy a bunch of flowers for my sister?"

Xiao Xixi is quite surprised. In this weather, it is so cold that there should be few flowers blooming so brightly.

She took a closer look and realized that these flowers were fake flowers made of spun yarn.

Because the workmanship is relatively fine, and it is at night, the light is a little dark, so it looks very real at first glance.

Luo Qinghan said expressionlessly, "It's my brother."

This kid actually called him Uncle, but Sister Xixi. Aren't they two different generations?

Besides, is he that old? !

The little boy immediately changed his words: "Uncle, would you like to buy a bunch of flowers for my brother?"

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Xiao Xixi: "..."

In the end, Luo Qinghan still bought a bunch of flowers from the bear boy.

He stuffed the flower into Xixi's hands and said solemnly.

"If our son has such a bear in the future, I will kill him."

Xiao Xixi couldn't laugh: "I'm afraid you won't be able to let this hand go, that's your own son."

Luo Qing smiled coldly: "My son is also correct."

Xiao Xixi: "Then what if I give birth to all daughters and no sons?"

Luo Qinghan: "Then choose one of the grandsons to inherit the throne."

Xiao Xixi: "You think a long way."

Luo Qinghan was helpless, he couldn't do anything about it, there would be no children in a short time, so he could only rely on his brain to make up for it.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two were ready to return to the palace.

At this moment, there was a sound of shouting in the distance.

"Get out of the way! The government is handling the case, get out of the way, and don't get in the way!"

A group of officers and soldiers rushed here on horseback, scaring the people to retreat to both sides.

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan, who were among the crowd, were also pushed back.

Luo Qinghan stretched out his hand to protect Xixi in his arms, so that no one would touch her.

Xixi held the flower in her arms to prevent it from being squeezed.

When the group of officers and soldiers rode away, the crowd dispersed again.

someone asked curiously.

"What's going on with these officials? Why do they still have to deal with the case at night? Look at the hurried appearance, is there a major case in the city?"

No one knew the answer, so they could only make wild guesses.

Luo Qinghan just glanced at it just now, and knew that the officers and soldiers who ran over just now should be from Jingzhao Mansion.

The leader of them was Mei Guangtao, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

It must be a big case to be able to alert Mei Fu Yin to appear in person at such a late hour.

Luo Qinghan was about to ask someone to check, when he saw Shang Kui hurried over.

He ran so fast that his head was covered in sweat.

He panted.

"Report to Your Majesty, Niangniang, the incense hall is on fire!"

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan were both shocked.

Xiao Xixi hurriedly asked: "It's so good, why did it suddenly burst into flames?"

Shang Kui said truthfully: "The cause of the fire has not yet been found out. The fire burned very big. Many girls and guests were trapped in the Xixiang Pavilion. It is said that Duke Hongguo is also inside. Jingzhao House is organizing people to fight the fire."
