Chapter 100: The Gift
"Lotus lantern, I hope there will be a marriage between me and Aqing." Hua Shenyue said in her heart.
Fu Qinglian stood aside, watching Hua Shenyue light the lamp, put the lamp, and make a wish. His gaze was gentle, and there was a slight smile on his lips.
If he was not sure of Hua Shenyue's feelings for him before, then after this trip to the Western Realm, he had already seen Hua Shenyue's feelings for him thoroughly. Especially when Fu Qinglian took her words just now, Hua Shenyue subconsciously looked at his movements.
Words can deceive people, but people's subconscious reactions cannot.
Hua Shenyue opened her eyes after making a wish, and she watched the lotus lantern she put slowly float away along the river flow, hoping that this lotus lantern full of her wish could float far away.
The Wei River has been filled with all kinds of lotus lanterns, standing on a high place to see, it looks like a lotus lantern river, the river is shining everywhere, it is very beautiful.
"Thank you, auntie!" Hua Shenyue trotted to the eldest mother's side, handed her the match with both hands, and thanked her.
"The girl is so polite." The eldest lady smiled and took the match. The eldest lady likes Hua Shenyue very much, she thinks that this girl is smart and polite, which is very in line with the image of her daughter-in-law in her mind.
"Girl, do you have a crush on someone, I have a son, the same size as you, if you don't mind, you can get to know him." The eldest lady said tentatively.
"Ah...... Auntie, thank you for your kindness, I already have someone in mind. Hua Shenyue was embarrassed, and immediately waved his hand and explained. She and this lady had just met, but the other party had her idea, Hua Shenyue scratched her head a little embarrassedly and smiled.
"Is that the child?" The eldest lady's curiosity was aroused, and her eyes looked at Fu Qinglian's back.
Hua Shenyue followed the eldest mother's gaze, and at the end of her gaze, it was Fu Qinglian's tall and tall back. Hua Shenyue didn't deny it, she nodded.
"That boy has an extraordinary temperament at first glance, but he is very suitable for a girl, but that stupid boy in my family is not so blessed." The eldest lady couldn't help but admire. Even if there is only one back, Fu Qinglian's temperament is also outstanding in the crowd.
"Is it a match?" Hua Shenyue muttered to herself. She actually didn't agree with what the eldest lady said, in her heart, Fu Qinglian was a dignified His Royal Highness Jing Wang, and she was just a little healer in Huayuan Valley, how could there be anything to match.
Someone asked the eldest lady to buy lotus lanterns, and the eldest lady beckoned the guests to go, and did not continue to talk to Hua Shenyue. Hua Shenyue stood aside and was stunned.
Originally, Hua Shenyue didn't care about the identity of Fu Qinglian's prince, but now that she was mentioned by the eldest mother, she had to pay attention. To be honest, there is a huge difference in the identities of the two of them, and it is really uncertain whether there is that fate or not.
"What's the fuss?" I don't know when, Fu Qinglian had already walked to Hua Shenyue's side, seeing that Hua Shenyue was in a daze, he didn't notice that he had approached her, Fu Qinglian couldn't help but ask.
"Ah...... It's okay, I just thought of something out of the blue. Hua Shenyue's thoughts were interrupted, and then she came back to her senses and answered Fu Qinglian's question.
Fu Qinglian saw that she was unwilling to explain, so he didn't continue to ask.
"Let's go." After Fu Qinglian finished speaking, he walked straight forward.
"Okay." Hua Shenyue responded, but she didn't immediately follow Fu Qinglian's footsteps, she walked to the eldest mother's side, said hello to the eldest lady, and then went to chase Fu Qinglian.
Fu Qinglian and Chen Shi were standing on the bridge waiting for her.
Hua Shenyue went up the bridge to catch up with the two, but they were not in a hurry to continue walking. From this bridge, the river is full of lotus lanterns, and the river is full of people on both the left and right sides of the bridge.
"It's really hilarious." Hua Shenyue sighed.
This time, I followed Fu Qinglian to leave the capital and walk around, although I encountered a lot of dangers, but I also had a lot of gains, such as the fireworks festival in Weinan City, and Fu Qinglian's different attitude towards her.
"It's getting late, let's go back, otherwise the prefect will be worried." Fu Qinglian said. It's been almost an hour and a half since they've been out, and it's time to go back.
This fireworks festival has also ended, although there are still a few fireworks in the sky from time to time, but the most lively time, has passed. There are also fewer people on the street, and it is much more deserted than when I first went out.
"Hmm!" Hua Shenyue nodded.
The three of them walked to the prefect's mansion together, and many people on the street were closing their stalls and preparing to go home, and occasionally a gust of night wind blew, which was very cool.
Hua Shenyue looked up at the sky as she walked, there were no stars in the sky, only a crescent moon, but there were so many fireworks tonight, and she was not alone compared to the moon.
"Lord Wang, you rest early, and your subordinates will go back to the room first." After entering the prefect's mansion and arriving in the backyard, Chen Shi retired to Fu Qinglian and returned to his room.
"Then I'll go back to the room to rest first, and Aqing, you should rest early." Hua Shenyue waved her hand at Fu Qinglian and walked to her room.
"Come back!" Fu Qinglian suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong? Qing, is there anything else? Hua Shenyue looked back puzzled.
"You haven't medicated me yet." Fu Qinglian reminded.
"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't say anything." Hua Shenyue patted her head. Fu Qinglian silently rolled her eyes in her heart, she almost forgot, she had clearly forgotten.
Hua Shenyue followed Fu Qinglian back to the room, and there was already a maid in the room who thoughtfully lit the candle. Fu Qinglian walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, Hua Shenyue took a medicine bottle from the table and squatted on the ground to give Fu Qinglian medicine.
Fu Qinglian's wound has been slowly healing, insisting on taking medicine every day, plus the medicine he drinks, he must be completely healed in two days.
Hua Shenyue forced herself to help Fu Qinglian take medicine without distractions and help him wrap the bandage. She stood up and placed the vial on the table.
"It should be fine, then I'll go back and rest first." Hua Shenyue said with a sly finger.
"Wait." Fu Qinglian didn't want to let her go easily.
Hua Shenyue looked at Fu Qinglian suspiciously, could she have forgotten something? After thinking about it, Hua Shenyue didn't expect that there was nothing wrong.
Seeing Hua Shenyue standing still, Fu Qinglian got up from the bed and walked towards Hua Shenyue. A few steps away from Hua Shenyue, Fu Qinglian stopped, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Hua Shenyue.
"Here's for you." Fu Qinglian said a little unnaturally. The thing was wrapped in a handkerchief, and Hua Shenyue couldn't tell what was inside.
"What is this?" Hua Shenyue glanced at Fu Qinglian and took it. The moment she held it in her hand, Hua Shenyue instantly understood that this was the jade bracelet that Fu Qinglian bought at the stall.
Hua Shenyue thought that this was going to be given to Meng Hongyi, but she was still a little unhappy about it, who knows, Fu Qinglian bought it and gave it to her.
"Ah Qing, is this for me?" Hua Shenyue held the jade bracelet in both hands and asked uncertainly.
"Hmm." Fu Qinglian nodded. His gaze was a little evasive, as if he was embarrassed to look directly into Hua Shenyue's eyes.
"Thank you, A-Qing!" received Fu Qinglian's affirmative answer, and a smile immediately bloomed on Hua Shenyue's face.
"Let's go back and get some rest." Fu Qinglian said.
"Uh-huh! Ah Qing, you also rest early. Hua Shenyue nodded and left Fu Qinglian's room with a smile. When she returned to the room, she opened the handkerchief wrapped in the jade bracelet, carefully picked up the jade bracelet, and put it in front of her eyes to look at it.
"So this was for me!" Hua Shenyue looked at the jade bracelet and muttered to herself, she almost laughed like a flower.
Hua Shenyue put a set of jade bracelets on her hands, which was just right. She looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist for a long time, and finally went to bed satisfied.
"Your Majesty, the prefect of Weinan City sent someone to send a song over quickly." Fu Beixing had just returned to the imperial study after the morning court, and he really planned to take a rest. As soon as he sat down, a eunuch hurriedly came in to deliver the recital.
"The prefect of Weinan City?" Fu Beixing was a little puzzled, could it be that something happened in Weinan City? Xiao Yinzi walked down and took the fold from the eunuch's hand and handed it to Fu Beixing.
Fu Beixing opened it and took a look, and his originally relaxed and comfortable face was slowly replaced by anger.
"Damn!" Fu Beixing slammed the table and stood up, and the fold in his hand was thrown directly to the ground by him.
Xiao Yinzi was shocked, in Xiao Yinzi's impression, Fu Beixing had never been so angry, what happened this time made the emperor so angry.
After Fu Beixing finished venting, he sat down again. Xiao Yinzi then went down and picked up the fold. At a glance, when he saw the words "King Jing's assassination", Xiao Yinzi didn't dare to continue looking.
No wonder Fu Beixing is so angry, someone has repeatedly attacked Fu Qinglian and wants Fu Qinglian's life, how can Fu Beixing not be angry when he sees these news.
"The emperor is angry." Xiao Yinzi put the fold in front of Fu Beixing's table and comforted.
"How can you say that I am not angry, they just joined forces to impeach Brother Lian, and even sent someone to assassinate Brother Lian and wanted Brother Lian's life, I really can't bear it." Fu Beixing said hatefully.
"Respect His Royal Highness the auspicious person, naturally there will be no problem." Xiao Yinzi said with relief.
"Hmph, even the auspicious people can't stand the repeated assassinations, this time fortunately, the prefect of Weinan City brought people to the rescue, otherwise, Brother Lian is afraid that it will be dangerous." Fu Beixing sneered.
It's not that Fu Beixing doesn't know who is behind this trick, but there has been no evidence, so he has no choice but to turn a blind eye and warn them, hoping that they will restrain themselves.
But unexpectedly, not only did they not relent, but intensified, Fu Beixing felt that those people simply didn't take him as an emperor in their eyes at all.
The more Fu Beixing thought about it, the more angry he became, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground.
"The emperor is angry, it's not worth it if he is angry and the dragon body is broken." Xiao Yinzi persuaded.
Fu Beixing picked up another teacup and wanted to throw it on the ground, but when he heard Xiao Yinzi's words, he put the teacup down. Seeing this, Xiao Yinzi called the palace maid who was on duty at the door of the imperial study and asked her to clean up the pieces of teacups on the ground.
