Chapter 51: No matter how big or small
Hua Shenyue touched his money bag, there were only a few pennies in it, and he hurriedly put it back in embarrassment: "I'll just see, where can I afford such a valuable thing." ”
"Besides, we're just subordinates, how can we bring these things."
"Is it over? Let's go. Hua Shenyue pulled Mei Xiang away.
Behind him, a man suddenly appeared and walked into the jewelry store.
"If you really want it, just buy it back, it's not easy to find such a good thing." Mei Xiang continued to persuade.
"It's okay, there's always something better." Hua Shenyue said to Mei Xiang, these words were also comforting herself.
The pedestrians around were holding a beautiful lotus lantern in their hands, Hua Shenyue saw a lot, and there were a lot of lanterns on the street.
"What day is it? I saw that they were all holding lanterns. Hua Shenyue asked.
Mei Xiang took a look at it and said, "Today is June 15, and on this day, everyone will go to Luojiang to put lotus lanterns and pray for the blessing of the goddess of Luojiang." ”
"So, these are all going to pray for blessings, huh?" Hua Shenyue asked.
She has been staying in the palace and knows very little about this place, but she didn't expect that she would meet this when she just came out.
Wait, June 15, isn't this her birthday? How could she forget her birthday.
"Is there only the activity of releasing river lanterns, and there are no others?" Hua Shenyue suddenly became interested.
"Otherwise, let's go back later, and let's go put the river lantern together." Hua Shenyue proposed.
Mei Xiang immediately agreed, and in the distance, there was always someone following them.
Mei Xiang glanced back, but she didn't see anything, she thought she was wrong, but this person seemed to follow them closely, but she didn't have the intention of hurting them.
Don't? Is this secretly protecting Hua Shenyue?
Hua Shenyue took the only money left on her body, bought two river lanterns, gave one to Mei Xiang, and prepared to go to the river to make a wish.
"Lord Wang, Hua Shenyue is now going to the river, and she should be preparing to release the river lanterns."
"Mei Xiang is with her." Chen Shi said.
"Are you ready?" Fu Qinglian said coldly.
"Ready, just wait for the blessing event to end, and you can begin."
"Good. Don't be surprised.
The riverside has long been overcrowded, and Hua Shenyue searched for a long time before she found a secluded place where you could put river lanterns without being disturbed. ”
"Mei Xiang, come here." Hua Shenyue took Mei Xiang's hand and came over.
The prayer event has begun, and the river is full of lotus lanterns put by people.
It is said that the farther this lamp floats, the easier it will be to fulfill the wish.
Hua Shenyue put the river lantern into the water, gently pushed it down, let it go away with the water, and then, closed her eyes and made a wish.
I wish that my father and Ah Qing can be healthy and disease-free, and I wish that Ah Qing can see her sincerity as soon as possible.
"Why don't you write your wish on the lantern? In this way, the goddess of Luojiang can see it even more. ”
Hua Shenyue smiled and didn't answer. She didn't dare, she only dared to make a wish secretly, she didn't dare to let others know her mind.
"What about you? What wishes were made? Find a good man as soon as possible? Hua Shenyue teased.
"I just want my family to be safe." Mei Xiang said seriously.
In her life, she is lonely, and she cares only about that person.
"It's not too early, let's hurry back home."
Hua Shenyue and Mei Xiang walked in the direction of the palace, Hua Shenyue felt a little sad in her heart, in previous years, someone accompanied her on her birthday, but this year, I am afraid that she is the only one.
She didn't want to mention it to others, as a subordinate, what kind of birthday was she still qualified for, but it was just to increase her sadness.
When I was about to arrive at the palace, there were suddenly fireworks in the tower, and then, the next building also rose into the sky one after another, blooming in the night.
This is the first time that on this day, there is such a grand fireworks festival. The people were overjoyed, and it is said that it was given by the king for his compassion for the people, and it was intended to rejoice with the people.
"It's so pretty." Mei Xiang couldn't help but sigh.
The sky is full of fireworks, blooming brightly, and the flowers and moons are finally seen.
"Is there anything you'd like to do in particular?" Fu Qinglian asked her.
"Watch a fireworks, with you. I have never seen the fireworks blooming all over the city, it must be beautiful, and I want to see it with Aqing. ”
I saw the fireworks, but Hua Shenyue watched them alone, and Mei Xiang was beside her, not Fu Qinglian. Looking back on the past, Hua Shenyue only felt sad.
Now, one is a prince high in the mountains, and the other is just a humble maid, and the two of them are already different from each other.
In a dark place above the eaves, Fu Qinglian looked at the fireworks in the city, then looked at Hua Shenyue, and said softly: "Happy birthday." ”
Immediately, it disappeared into the night.
Hua Shenyue stared blankly. By the time the fireworks ended, Hua Shenyue had already burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?"
"Nothing, I remembered some of the past." Hua Shenyue lowered her head.
"Let's go, if we don't go back, we'll be punished." Hua Shenyue quickened her pace.
……
"Lord Wang, everything has been arranged."
"Let's go down." Fu Qinglian held a jade pendant in his hand, thoughtful.
Hua Shenyue returned to the room, and as soon as she sat down, she found that there seemed to be something more on the table, and Hua Shenyue hurriedly lit the lamp.
On the table is a brocade box, with a complex style, which is worth a lot of money at first glance.
Who's going to put something here? Is it for me? Hua Shenyue hesitantly opened the brocade box, and there was a white hosta inside.
During the day, Hua Shenyue looked at the hairpin in the jewelry store but couldn't buy it, and at this moment, it was in Hua Shenyue's hands.
The white jade is flawless, like a treasure, and the begonia flowers on it are even more lifelike, and there is a note attached to the box: "The years are quiet." ”
With just one glance, Hua Shenyue determined where this thing came from, and she recognized his handwriting.
He gave her most cherished begonia flowers and spent her birthday with her in his way.
"Aqing, thank you." Hua Shenyue said silently. Only the words that she herself heard.
Here, she never felt that she was alone, and there was him by her side, but he kept pushing her away, but she still cared about her in her heart.
The night was thick, Fu Qinglian took out a painting, it was the day she was grinding, so concentrated, she didn't notice that Fu Qinglian was looking at her.
Fu Qinglian smiled and put the painting away and put it in a place that only he knew.
Chen Shi walked in from outside.
"What's the news?"
"We investigated the owner of the jewelry store, and he had some dealings with the palace, and more deeply, to give his subordinates some time."
"As soon as possible." Fu Qinglian stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky outside the window.
Today he seems to be in a good mood, even with a smile in his eyes.
"The princess sent someone to pass the word, does the prince want to go and see?"
"No, I found an excuse to go back." Fu Qinglian refused.
He is not the best at acting on the spot, not to mention, he doesn't really want to see Meng Hongyi now.
"The emperor has issued an order and ordered the king to go down to Jiangnan to inspect the officials, and you can arrange it too."
"What changes do you want to make to the attendants?" Chen Shi asked, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
"The princess stays in the mansion, handles everything in the mansion, and brings Hua Shenyue with her."
Sure enough, it was the expected answer.
"The prince didn't let the concubine accompany him, but let Hua Shenyue, the slut, accompany him?" Meng Hongyi's eyes were full of shock.
Usually, this kind of thing is Meng Hongyi following Fu Qinglian's side, how can it take Shen Yue to enter the mansion, everything has changed. Meng Hongyi's hatred for Hua Shenyue was even deeper.
"The order has been given, we will set off tomorrow, and at this moment, it is irretrievable." Cuihua said.
Meng Hongyi fell on the chair and left tomorrow, refusing to even give her a chance.
At that time, Hua Shenyue didn't know it, and was in the study, helping Fu Qinglian sort out the books.
Chen Shi walked in from outside and said, "Lord Wang, everything is ready to set off at any time." ”
"Departure? Where are you going? Hua Shenyue jumped down.
Fu Qinglian glanced at her coldly, his eyes full of warning.
Hua Shenyue realized her faux pas, and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake: "The slave knows her mistake." ”
Chen Shi was also stunned on the side, this Hua Shenyue is so lawless, this prince has not blamed her, this Hua Shenyue is really unusual.
"Go down to Jiangnan, you go back and clean up, and we'll set off."
"I'm going too?" Hua Shenyue was stunned, and she actually had to take her.
"Any questions?" Fu Qinglian asked.
"I didn't ...... There was no problem, and the slave went back to clean up immediately. Hua Shenyue retreated
"Lord Wang, why do you want to bring Hua Shenyue, what can she do?" Chen Shi was puzzled.
"Bringing a miracle doctor, it's still useful when it's critical." Fu Qinglian explained.
"However, the prince usually brings the princess with him, but this time, he left the princess in the mansion, I'm afraid it will cause criticism." Chen Shi said.
"Let them be." Fu Qinglian walked out leisurely.
Hua Shenyue had something to pack up, so she went back and brought a few changes of clothes, and before she was about to go out, Hua Shenyue turned back again, took out the brocade box from the cabinet, and took it with her.
This was given by Fu Qinglian, with different meanings, so naturally he had to take it with him.
Not long after, Hua Shenyue walked towards the door, and Meng Hongyi was saying goodbye to Fu Qinglian at the door.
Hua Shenyue stepped forward and saluted, and silently retreated behind Fu Qinglian, this Meng Hongyi, he couldn't afford to hide if he couldn't be provoked.
Meng Hongyi instructed Hua Shenyue, who was shrinking behind Fu Qinglian: "Take good care of the prince, otherwise, this concubine will definitely not be able to spare you." The tone was full of warning.
"Don't worry, the princess, the slave and maid must be in every detail." Hua Shenyue replied.
Fu Qinglian took Hua Shenyue into the car, the convoy drove away slowly, Meng Hongyi watched the convoy go away, and the generosity just now disappeared.
All I saw was hatred and jealousy.
Cuihua helped Meng Hongyi and returned to the mansion.
"Why doesn't the princess ask the prince for a favor, presumably, the prince will also agree."
Meng Hongyi put down the teacup in his hand: "It's useless, no one can change his mind, this time, he just made up his mind not to let me follow." ”
"It's really cheap, Hua Shenyue." Cuihua was indignant.
