Chapter 030: Flower Lanterns

When Shen Mei rushed over panting, she saw Mu Jinyu smiling brightly under the blue sky and white clouds, and the snow horse standing aside and gently rubbing him.

She touched the splashed droplets on her face and smiled comfortably.

"You're so wet, do you catch a cold?" She walked up to Mu Jinyu and sat on the grass, clasping her knees with her hands, and said with concern.

Mu Jinyu looked at her eyes deeply, her eyebrows raised, and she smiled freely and uninhibitedly, as indifferent as a light cloud, "Are you caring about me?" He asked rhetorically, looking directly at her, and seeing Shen Mei's face flush.

"I was just thinking that you were so wet, and the queen should scold me when you go back to catch a cold." She turned her face away from him.

Mu Jinyu pretended to be disappointed and sighed, "I see, count me as sentimental." ”

Shen Mei carried him behind her back, she couldn't see Mu Jinyu's expression, she didn't know how to answer him for a while, she was still a little reluctant to give up on Mu Lingxuan, but Mu Jinyu was very good to herself, she couldn't bear to hurt him, she was trying to like him, but now, she didn't know whether she liked him or not.

Mu Jinyu looked at the sky, didn't hear her speak, his smile was gradually blown away by the wind, and he secretly tried to dry his clothes.

There was silence for a moment, Shen Mei didn't hear a sound behind her, she couldn't help but turn around and saw Mu Jinyu sitting on the grass with her eyes closed.

She stood up and looked at Mu Jinyu, someone seemed to hear her footsteps approaching, suddenly opened her eyes, and asked her with a smile: "How is it, let's do it!" ”

Before Shen Mei could speak, Xuema shook the river water on his head and wet the clothes on his back again, Mu Jinyu looked at it with a complaining gaze, which made Shen Mei laugh.

Mu Jinyu stood up indifferently, patted the dust on his body, took Shen Mei's hand and said, "Let's go, go to the city and have a look." ”

At this time, the moat of the capital was flowing with all kinds of lanterns, large and small.

When they arrived, a crescent moon was shining faintly, and it was the beginning of the night, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people, and the sound of selling was incessant.

Mu Jinyu led the snow horse to walk in the city, and the people who walked by, young and old, couldn't help but look at him, and they were reluctant to look away.

There was even a bold girl who squeezed to Mu Jinyu's side, holding a lotus lamp with exquisite workmanship and giving it to Mu Jinyu shyly, he didn't refuse, handed it to Shen Mei in front of the girl, and said with a smile, "Thank you girl, let me give the lantern to my sweetheart." ”

The girl listened to Mu Jinyu's words, blushed, couldn't cry or laugh, and walked into the crowd with her head down.

There were bursts of laughter one after another, he looked at the people around him covering his lips and snickering because of his words, I don't know why, a kind aunt held back a smile and came to Mu Jinyu and said, "This lantern is given by a woman to a man she likes." The purpose was to tie his heart. ”

"I see, can't I use it to tie up the girl I love?" Mu Jinyu smiled with relief, not feeling anything wrong at all.

Shen Mei stuffed the lotus lantern into his arms, and when he said whether to cry or laugh, she quickened her steps and walked forward.

And the man shouted from behind, "Otherwise, I'll give you and you will send me." ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as Shen Mei's steps are faster, this person is not a child who has not grown up, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes.

Mu Jinyu pulled the snow horse to follow her footsteps, and the two stopped by the moat, looking at the lanterns spread across the river side by side.

The stars are flickering, the lights are swaying, and the pond is full of lanterns flowing with the water waves, like a dream, like a fairyland, quiet and beautiful.

The night was as cool as water, the breeze came slowly, blowing Mu Jinyu's wide clothes, pouring into the wind bulging, he dragged his clothes, bent down, squatted by the moat, carefully put the lantern into the river, and watched it rise and fall with the water waves, and send it to the distant lights.

Mu Jinyu clasped his hands together, secretly made a wish, and was serious and pious.

"What wish did you make?" Shen Mei saw that he was rare and serious, and curiously squatted down and poked her head over and asked.

When Mu Jinyu heard her question, he slowly opened his peach blossom eyes, and in his starlight reflection eyes, he laughed ruffianly, and said with bad intentions: "I wish God to see that I am so good-looking, so I will marry Shen Mei to me." ”

She was speechless, "Do you know what the next sentence is when the water is clear, there are no fish?" ”

Although Mu Jinyu didn't know how to learn, he still understood this, and he was full of confidence and replied: "If you are observant, there is no disciple." ”

"Wrong, if you are the cheapest, you are invincible." Shen Mei raised her mouth and smiled proudly, looking at his stunned funny appearance.

She walked back, and Mu Jinyu caught up behind her, and he was embarrassed to touch her arm with his elbow.

Shen Mei snorted, looking at his face flushed in the light.

"I'm hungry." Mu Jinyu pointed to his stomach, and casually pointed to the snow horse on the side, "It's too." ”

Xuema lowered his head and rubbed against Mu Jinyu.

A smile bloomed on her face, and she let Mu Jinyu pull him to the small booth to sit down.

"Boss, let's have two bowls of noodles." Mu Jinyu shouted familiarly, and the middle-aged man who was making noodles sighed when he heard his voice and began to continue the work in his hands.

Shen Mei looked around, there were all kinds of people doing it in the stall, but Mu Jinyu chose such a place, he should have been a brocade and jade food, and he would still want to eat at such a stall.

"I used to sneak out of the palace a lot, and I got tired of eating those things." Mu Jinyu moved the snow horse to the stake, it shook its head uncomfortably, and kicked its hooves in order to express its dissatisfaction.

A guy came to stare at the snow horse, and was amazed as if he was touching its horse's back, and before Mu Jinyu could stop it, the snow horse glared at it, and the frightened man quickly stepped back and found some hay to put in front of it.

The snow horse pickled the grass with his hoof, turned his head disdainfully, joked, let it eat this, it will not touch it if it starves to death.

Shen Mei walked over and saw that no matter how Mu Jinyu ordered it, it was to no avail, "Sure enough, it is the pampered master." He said suddenly, smiled helplessly, and simply stopped paying attention to him.

Xuema exhaled a rough breath, roared the soil under his feet, and opened his eyes wide to look at Mu Jinyu, and there was an exotic woman next to him who was holding a jujube red and also came to tie the horse here.

Shen Mei looked at the two horses in the same place, and couldn't help but worry about how a master who was not angry like a snow horse would be willing.

However, she thought too much, the maroon horse was all pure color, tall and long-legged, full of wildness, its smooth fur shining brightly in the moonlight, and its strong legs trampled on the ground.

The owner of the horse was dressed in exotic service, with silver bells on her wrists and ankles, and she made a crisp sound when she walked slightly, she wore long braids, her eyes were clear and clean, and between her eyebrows was tenacity and freedom from the grassland, which was not at all gentle and touching like willow.

The woman glanced at Xue Ma in surprise, and then looked at Shen Mei and Mu Jinyu.

"The two of you don't seem to be ordinary people, but they eat in this kind of place." She looked at the stall, the corners of her mouth raised, not knowing whether it was sarcasm or something else.

Mu Jinyu also smiled faintly, "Why, we can't eat it if the girl is only allowed to eat it." ”

But the girl was not angry, and shouted at the shop and said to them, "I am used to it, it doesn't matter where I eat." ”

Shen Mei smiled, her personality was so straightforward and hearty, if she hadn't grown up on the grassland, she would definitely not be so direct, compared to people who were timid in the palace, she lived a much more casual life, she whispered: "It is worthy of being a nomadic princess, Shen Mei has seen it." ”

When the woman heard her words, she was slightly stunned, looked at Shen Mei's whole body again, and frowned, "How do you know." ”

"Who else but nomads will live in the grasslands?" Shen Mei paused and continued: "And with good horses and such valuable jewelry, your status in the nomadic clan must be extraordinary, so you are the princess who likes to travel alone, Naya." ”

Shen Mei watched her eyes gradually turn into admiration, and she couldn't help but be happy and proud, thanks to Mama Zhuang and Liu Rou, she only knew.

Naya laughed heartily and patted Shen Mei's shoulder enthusiastically, "It's a wish to meet, it's better to sit down and eat together." ”

The three of them sat at a table and chatted happily with each other, Naya ate steaming noodles and asked Mu Jinyu's identity, he thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, Shen Mei touched him with her arm, for fear that he would reveal his true identity.

Naya doesn't care, and she speaks directly, Mu Jinyu may be honest with each other because of the principle of not deceiving each other, but this is a secret out of the palace, no one can say, what if it is summoned to plot.

Mu Jinyu glanced back at her and understood what she meant, so she didn't plan to say it.

Shen Mei smiled apologetically at the woman opposite: "We are doing things for the palace, so it's not convenient to talk to the girl." ”

At first, Naya saw the small movements of the two, and her face showed displeasure, where did they prairie people hide like this, not simply at all, now listening to Shen Mei's apology, she suddenly understood a lot, sure enough, what is in the palace is different, what Daddy said is right.

Naya didn't mind, waved her hand generously, asked Song Yan to bring a few bottles of wine, opened the lid of the wine very boldly, and gave the two of them a full bowl.

"Since the chat is so happy, it's better to come and not get drunk and not go home." She stood up, holding a large bowl full of wine in both hands, and drank it all, and she showed the two of them the empty bowl.

Mu Jinyu also raised her neck, there was not a drop left, Shen Mei hesitated, she hadn't drunk so much wine yet, if she drank it all, she would definitely get drunk.

Seeing the two of them looking at themselves, they felt embarrassed if they didn't drink.

Just as she didn't know what to do, Mu Jinyu took the wine bowl from her hand and smiled slightly, "I drank it for her, she hasn't drunk so much." ”

"It's really not as good as the prairie woman." Naya's joy, anger and sorrow are obvious, and she always can't hide things, seeing that Shen Mei doesn't drink a drop of wine, her dissatisfaction is all on her face.

Shen Mei was not angry, "The grandeur of the grassland women in the capital is naturally not comparable, but their gentleness and virtuousness are afraid that the grassland women do not have." ”

Naya snorted disdainfully, she was so civilized, she was bullied by the grassland, and she looked down on her, "If you can't drink it, you won't drink it, what's the use of saying so much." She flicked her braids, and the bells on her wrists rang together.

"Okay, I'll drink." She was aroused by this remark, snatched the wine bowl from Mu Jinyu's hand, raised her head, and drank it all regardless of the hot feeling between her lips and teeth.
