Chapter Thirty-Seven: How the Lights Go Down
The blindfolded girl behind Rong Li, every step she takes is like walking on thin ice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zijin tightly grasped Rong Li's pure white wide sleeves, and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Because the white ribbon covers his eyes, all Zijin can rely on is tolerance.
"Here we are."
The ribbon was untied, Zijin opened his eyes and found himself standing by the lake, the situation of falling into the water today was still vivid, Zijin hurriedly retreated. But it's falling? Into a person's arms, "Tolerance? ”
"Well, don't be afraid, I'm here."
The low and warm voice came into his ears, as if there was an invisible magic power, which made Zijin feel relieved.
"What are you bringing me here for?"
"I want to grant a wish for the county lord." Rong Li walked to Zijin's side and looked at her with a smile, Zijin was a little puzzled, wish? She didn't have any wishes she wanted to fulfill.
Rong Li turned to look at an isolated island in the lake. He took out the willow flute he had brought with him, put it to his lips, and played it gently, with only three notes.
Zijin's eyes were full of disbelief, and the orange-yellow light points on the isolated island in the lake slowly floated into the air, at first only two or three o'clock, then eleven or twelve, twenty or thirty, and finally a few hundred, those lights flickered in the night sky.
"It turned out to be a sky lantern." Zijin looked up at the sky lantern. "Thank you, Rong Li."
Zijin didn't know where Rong Li knew that she had always wanted to see a sky lantern lit just for her.
She didn't remember things, but Rong Li remembered them deeply.
"I said that as long as you wish, I will fulfill it for you."
Zijin looked at Rong Li and smiled slightly, but there was no half of joy, "Go back, it's a little cold." Zijin said that he was about to turn around and leave.
"It turns out that the county lord doesn't like it?"
Zijin paused, looked at Rong Li and shook his head, "No, I like it very much, but Rong Gongzi doesn't have to bother so much, you and I are just cooperating, if Gongzi wants to use this way to make me obey and never betray, then I think Gongzi is too worried." ”
"So that's what the county lord thinks of me." An extremely complex emotion could be heard in Rong Li's tone, "It's not too early, Rong Li said goodbye." ”
Zijin watched Rong Li's wide sleeves swaying lightly, and his lonely back gradually disappeared and in the twilight, and then looked at the few lonely lanterns in the sky.
Did she really blame him?

Princess Rosewood and Xie Shaoyi stood by the bridge, looking at the lotus lanterns floating in the river.
"Brother Shaoyi, thank you for being with me for so long today."
"It's good that the princess is happy."
Rosewood stretched out her hand, and she kept carrying the lantern that Xie Shaoyi had just bought for her, which could be said to have reached the point of falling in love.
"Brother Shaoyi, I'll give you this lantern."
Rosewood's smile is sweet, and her innocent appearance makes anyone who sees it can't help but be happy. But Xie Shaoyi looked at the lantern in Rosewood's hand with a cold expression and said, "Princess, do you know what the mandarin ducks on this lantern mean?" ”
Rosewood pursed her lips and said "um", Xie Shaoyi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, "Then why do you want to buy it?" ”
"I ......" Rosewood suddenly didn't know how to explain.
"Xiao Si, send the princess back to the palace."
"Brother Shaoyi, I'...... I didn't mean to you off. Brother Shaoyi, Rosewood won't dare next time. ”
Xie Shaoyi saw that Rosewood had no intention of leaving, so he turned around and walked in the other direction and got into the carriage.
"Go home."
The groom hesitated for a moment: "The head of the house, the princess ......"
"Don't bother." Xie Shaoyi's unwarm voice came from the sedan chair.
"Brother Shaoyi......"
Rosewood ran after the carriage, calling Xie Shaoyi's name as she ran. Xie Shaoyi in the carriage leaned against the wall of the carriage with an expression on his face, his eyes closed, and he was a little impatient.
"Hurry up."
"Brother Shaoyi."
Rosewood slowly stopped, gasping for air. From time to time, people walked by and pointed at her, and some people laughed at her mercilessly. But she didn't seem to hear it.
She kept chasing in the direction of the carriage.
The bustling streets seemed to become endless in the constant pursuit, and she watched the carriage drift away, and the footsteps of the magnificent chase became heavier and heavier, so heavy that at last she no longer had the strength to lift her steps to catch up.
The people she followed were overwhelmed by the endless sea of people, and the world was so vast, but she seemed to have come to an end.
Rosewood was suddenly a little discouraged, maybe she shouldn't have taken a childhood joke seriously in the first place.
No matter how dim the lights were, they didn't seem to shine into her world.
Rosewood turned around and walked in the direction of the palace.
I have paid my feelings, but I can't take it back?
If you could, it wouldn't hurt your heart, would you?
Rosewood walked all the way back to the palace, returned to her own palace, and retreated from the palace people, and she suddenly sat down on the ground and choked. felt as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of silver needles, and the pain made her almost faint.
Her love for Xie Shaoyi has always been her one-man show, she is serious on stage, but Xie Shaoyi has never been in the play, she has always directed and acted alone.
Her friendship, others will never care.
He didn't want to stay by her side for a moment, she could walk into his eyes, but she could never get into his heart.
Even if she gave everything for him, he didn't care.
She is a princess who is high up, and she is a princess who is loved by thousands of people.
But for the sake of a person who doesn't love himself, he gouged out his heart and let him trample on it mercilessly.
Rosewood buried her head in her lap and cried bitterly.
On the other side of the street, Xie Shaoyi sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window, then lowered the curtain and leaned against the wall again.
On the street, Xie Shaoyi ordered the groom to stop the car, he stepped down from the carriage elegantly, and only then did he lift the curtain, and happened to see two small clay figurines on a stall on the side of the street, which attracted his attention.
Xie Shaoyi walked over, picked up the two little clay figurines, and couldn't help but smile when he remembered some things in the past.
Xie Shaoyi on the street here was laughing happily with two small clay figurines in his hands, but he didn't know that the magnificent flowers that wanted to send him lanterns in the palace wall were covering his face and crying bitterly.
On the ancient apricot blossom trees beside the street, the red ribbons with the names of lovers written on them kept swaying and fluttering in the evening breeze.
Some people are laughing and singing. Someone was wandering in pain, crying.
But no one knows, but this moment heralds a permanent farewell.
