Volume 1 Affection is Shallow Chapter 40 Lantern Love
"Your Highness, why are you here?" An Yiran saw Song Mohan who suddenly appeared, and her heart was full of joy, and her face unconsciously showed a happy smile from the heart, lingering with a little warmth.
"Tonight is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival night in Beijing is very lively, of course the king is going to come out to join in the fun, I never thought that I would meet here." Song Mohan walked towards her lightly, smiled gently, and responded gently.
He was dressed in an ice-blue brocade robe, holding a white jade folding fan, and a high hairpin standing on the top of his hair, looking like an elegant and noble son, followed by his personal guard Yunyi.
The moment An Yiran smiled lightly, she inadvertently aimed at the jade belt on Song Mohan's waist pinned to the embroiderer's crappy sachet she gave him last time.
Her heart was instantly overjoyed, and he was surprised that he cherished what she had given him.
"Girl, the last puzzle was guessed by this boy just now, so it can't be regarded as your correct answer to the three puzzles, it's a pity that the small gift has no chance for you." The stall owner smiled, not accommodating at all.
"Why? Didn't you say that you can get three puzzles right? Do you want me to answer three questions again? An Yiran asked in disappointment, with a look of unfinished and deeply regretful.
Just because she didn't guess the last riddle, everything was wasted, and even the small gift she was full of expectations was missed.
"Girl, I'm really sorry, each person can only answer three questions, and if you miss it, you miss it." The stall owner sticks to his principles.
"It's... This..."The smile on An Yiran's face gradually disappeared, and she pursed her lips in frustration, staring longingly at the gifts at the back of the stall full of helplessness.
"This girl missed the opportunity to continue answering the question, but my son only answered one, if she answers two more correctly, can she get a small gift?" Song Mohan, who was standing on the side, saw An Yiran's face of loss, and hurriedly came forward to solve the siege.
"Of course, if the son answers two more questions, he can get a small gift." The stall owner smiled again and again, and saw through the affection in Song Mohan's eyes at a glance, and took the initiative to choose two meaningful lantern riddles for him.
Song Mohan took the paper handed over by the stall owner, took a closer look, and saw that it was written: See your sweetheart on the water again, go alone and alone, for the love of the rain and rainy days, why do you see each other without words, and you are still lonely when you see each other, I only love you in this life, and I am alone and unrequited.
He read it carefully for a while, and suddenly understood the deep meaning, and was instantly embarrassed, not daring to look at An Yiran, for fear that she would find out that he was uncomfortable.
"Childe, please solve the puzzle." Seeing that Song Mohan was stunned with the puzzle paper, the stall owner couldn't help but urge, and secretly cast his eyes on An Yiran's face, who was full of curiosity, and showed a smile that he felt satisfied with.
"This ...... Why don't you switch to the puzzles? Song Mohan coughed lightly and handed the paper back calmly.
"No, since Childe won this puzzle, it is fate, and it cannot be changed, otherwise Childe will violate the rules and will not get a small gift." The stall owner shook his head in opposition and insisted that Song Mohan answer the riddle.
"What does that mean? Your Royal Highness, you can't guess it's not in the way, let's just help you guess! An Yiran was worried that she would miss the small gift again, so she hurriedly approached Song Mohan's side, glanced at the puzzle on the paper, and used her brain to think carefully.
Then she turned back and waved to a few people behind her: "Ah Yue, Chang Feng, don't just stand!" Come and help solve the problem! ”
"Miss, the slave maid is really not good at learning, and she can't help His Royal Highness." Hotaru refused with an embarrassed face, and refused to move forward.
"Miss An, although Chang Feng is literate, his knowledge is limited! If it is a competition, Chang Feng is the most powerful, if it is a competition, Chang Feng is really ashamed. Chang Feng shrugged his shoulders, also saying that he could not do anything.
"Alas! Forget it, this girl will help herself! An Yiran sighed helplessly, and then leaned her face closer to Song Mohan's side.
"I'll love you only from now on." Song Mohan hesitated for a while, plucked up the courage to tell the mystery, and was nervous.
As soon as An Yiran got closer, she heard Song Mohan's words, which frightened her legs and almost made her stand unsteady, but fortunately, Song Mohan reacted quickly and reached out to hold her waist to stop her from falling.
She leaned on his arms, her body was a little stiff, she was stunned for a while, she didn't have time to react to the situation in front of her, she opened her pure eyes blankly, staring at Song Mohan's warm and tender gaze, between the two eyes, as if passing affection to each other, subtle honey gradually arose between the two.
Yingyue, Chang Feng and Yun Yi, who were standing on the side, were all stunned when they saw this scene in front of them, and the three of them also inexplicably felt that the two masters were very compatible, and Lang Junnu looked like a pair of beautiful people.
After a while, An Yiran stood still, Song Mohan hurriedly let go of her, and the two looked away from each other, and their hearts were pounding and jumping.
An Yiran tried hard to suppress her spring heart, squeezed out a faint smile on her face, and took the initiative to alleviate the embarrassment and said, "Eighth Highness, what did you just say?" ”
She felt a wave in her heart because of his sentence "I will only love you in the future", but she still pretended not to hear clearly, and pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"The answer to the puzzle is to love you alone." Song Mohan was a little dumbfounded, staring at the puzzle paper, and honestly telling the answer to the puzzle.
"I see." An Yiran was relieved to learn the truth, and nodded confusedly.
"He Xi Gongzi answers the second puzzle correctly, and one more answer will get a gift." The stall owner smiled meaningfully, looked at Song Mohan and then at An Yiran, tonight his old moon heart was uplifted, and he deliberately connected a red rope of love between the hearts of the two.
Song Mohan tried to calm down the uneasiness in his heart, took the last puzzle handed by the stall owner, and successfully answered the last puzzle.
The stall owner was pleased, solemnly took out an elegantly shaped lantern and handed it to Song Mohan, and explained with a smile: "He Xi Gongzi won the first prize tonight, and he got a lantern for this marriage. ”
The passers-by who were watching next to them looked at the gifts in Song Mohan's hands, and they all showed envy, secretly regretting that they had not increased their knowledge, and the longed-for gifts could only watch it go into the hands of others.
"Ran'er, I'll give you this lantern." Song Mohan did not hesitate to hand the lantern to An Yiran beside him, which surprised everyone around him.
"This is not feasible, this is what your Highness has taken, but you can't ask for it." An Yiran hurriedly waved her hand and refused, not daring to accept the lantern suddenly handed by Song Mohan.
"This king was won for you, so why can't you? Close! Song Mohan saw that An Yiran didn't dare to accept his gift for a long time, and he didn't think about it, so he grabbed her hand without any scruples and handed the lantern directly to her.
Then he walked out of the lantern riddle stall with Yun Yiyi, An Yiran took the lantern given by Song Mohan, and stopped in place with some daze and watched him squeeze out of the crowd, but he didn't know how to respond.
Firefly Yue and Chang Feng, who were following on the side, approached An Yiran, both of them showed a novel smile on their faces, and kept staring at An Yiran, who was immersed in happiness.
Chang Feng crossed his hands in front of his chest, stared at Song Mohan's back as he walked away, and sighed with a straightforward smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness and our Miss An are affectionate!" ”
"Chang Feng, don't talk nonsense!" An Yiran relieved herself at this time, turned her head and glanced at Chang Feng, signaled him not to speculate, and then raised her feet and left the lantern riddle stall.
When the three of them walked out, they saw that Song Mohan and Yun Yi were still in front, as if waiting for them.
Seeing the three of them appear, Song Mohan took the initiative to step forward and invited An Yiran: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most lively place in Beijing is the lantern festival by the river, is Ran'er interested in going with this king to enjoy it?" ”
"Lantern Festival?" An Yiran's eyes lit up, and she was thrilled by Song Mohan's invitation, she smiled excitedly, nodded and responded cheerfully: "Okay!" Let's take a look! ”
An Yiran was taken by Song Mohan to the Yong'an River, and the two of them watched the crowd gathered in twos and threes holding lanterns, and felt the excitement of the Mid-Autumn Festival night in Nanyue Beijing.
The night is dark, the sky is shining with a little star, accompanied by the high hanging full moon, the light in the air and the glittering lanterns by the river merge together, under the breeze, it looks clear and cheerful, looking down, there are many blessing lanterns that are given good wishes floating on the surface of the river.
Song Mohan took An Yiran to the river, the two stood side by side, he smiled enthusiastically: "This is the lantern festival, every year on August 15, when the moon is full, people will put lanterns here to pray for good wishes." ”
An Yiran listened carefully to Song Mohan's explanation, her heart was full of curiosity, although she had heard Su Qianli talk a few days ago, but when she really faced it, she felt another thing in her heart, and at the same time she was shocked by such a grand scene.
She raised the corners of her mouth, took out the lantern in her hand, looked at Song Mohan innocently and asked; "Can I put lanterns then?"
"Of course you can, if you have a wish, you can make a wish." Song Mohan nodded and smiled.
He looked at An Yiran's eyes full of tenderness, and his heart approached her step by step, and when he saw her, his heart was always happy.
"Then let's put this lantern away! And then make a wish together, how about it? An Yiran looked at the bustle by the river and happily proposed.
"Are you willing to do it?" Song Mohan was a little hesitant, he knew that An Yiran liked the lantern very much just now, but now she offered to put the lantern into the river and float away with it, he was full of puzzlement, and he couldn't see through the girl's fickle mind.
"There's nothing reluctant to do this, it can carry our beautiful wishes and float into the distance, that's what it means." An Yiran said, raised her feet and approached the river, squatted down and carefully put the lantern on the river.
Then she got up and faced the lantern, put her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and silently recited her greatest wish in her heart: May she find her mother's whereabouts as soon as possible......
Song Mohan followed and approached An Yiran's side, learning from her appearance, he also folded his hands and closed his eyes to make a wish, he silently recited in his heart: May Ran'er be happy and happy forever, and this king and his love will be in harmony and accompany him forever.
