Chapter 67: Overboard
Shen Shu didn't know when he lit two fireworks sticks, and the small bright yellow fireworks exploded in front of Shi Qingqian.
Shi Qingqian didn't expect to see fireworks in ancient times, which was really pleasantly surprised.
The jumping fireworks illuminated the other party's slender fingers, and also illuminated her serious face. Small fireworks exploded and jumped between the two, Shi Qing stared blankly, but what Shen Shu watched through the mask was Shi Qingqian.
It's just that the fireworks are fleeting, and soon the faint light of the fire dimmed, Shi Qingqian raised his head to look at the masked man, stretched out his hand and patted his head, "Thank you, the fireworks are beautiful!" β
Shen Shu's face under the mask unconsciously put on a faint smile, and he waved his hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to thank him.
"But......" Shi Qingqian's expression changed, with a look of suspicion, "Don't you know how to speak?" β
Looking at the way she was trying to think, Shen Shu still decided to nod. He was afraid that as soon as he spoke, she would hear that it was him.
Shi Qingqian didn't care, the man in the mask brought her a very attached sense of familiarity, she didn't want to let Pingshui meet and say goodbye, so she sat down next to him facing the river, her feet soared above the river, kicking restlessly, "Why are you alone, what about me, I was separated from my friends, there are too many people, I really can't squeeze in, and when I look up, there are people's thighs and waist ......" said, the expression on her face complained, "If I knew earlier, I would have eaten more, and I would have grown taller!" β
Shen Shu was so amused by her that he couldn't stop laughing, although he didn't make a sound, but the shaking shoulders still betrayed him.
"Hey, you're laughing at me!" Shi Qing pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "You haven't said it yet, why are you alone, and there is no one to accompany you when you go to the Lantern Festival, how boring." β
Shen Shu wanted to say that he was not boring, after all, when was he not alone? He has status, talent, and the emperor's unreasonable favor, but in the eyes of everyone, he has won everything at a young age. Is he lonely? Maybe it's because I'm used to it for a long time, and I don't even admit it. But the loneliness hidden in her heart was always broken by Shi Qingqian intentionally or unintentionally, and her lonely life was broken into like a newborn calf.
Thinking about it, he pointed to the river in front of him, intending to show that he was attracted by the beautiful scenery, so he came over to sit down.
"Hmm......" Shi Qingqian had already tried hard to understand what he wanted to convey, and nodded as if he didn't understand, "Oh, it's beautiful here, isn't it?" β
Shi Qingqian wanted to accompany this lonely partner to see the scenery, but she really couldn't sit like those elegant literati, and happened to catch a glimpse of the flow of people on the arched bridge, and the lanterns illuminated there, which made her heart itch.
She tugged on Shen Shu's sleeve and carefully pulled it, her tone soft, "Big brother, should we go to the bridge over there to have a look?" β
Shen Shu looked at her sincere expression, nodded helplessly, carefully took her hand, and walked towards the bridge together.
If you want to pass, you have to blend in with the flow of people. At first, Shi Qingqian was still uncomfortable, but suddenly felt that the distance between her and the people around her was far away, and when she looked closely, she found that it was the masked man who stretched out his hand to protect the top of his head, separating the pedestrians who were squeezed over.
Between the dense pedestrians, the masked man actually separated her from a small world, and there was an indescribable throbbing in Shi Qingqian's heart, as if even the noise had quieted down.
The two walked together to the middle of the arched bridge, where there were all kinds of lanterns overhead, and now there was a winding river, and from this angle, the lotus boat was even more beautiful.
Shi Qingqian climbed restlessly onto the stone railing of the arched bridge, standing a little higher and always seeing a little more beautiful scenery.
Seeing that her whole villain was hung up, and her waist did not reach the top of the stone railing, Shen Shu didn't worry too much, people came and went behind her, but the two of them stood so comfortably in the middle of the bridge, Shen Shu couldn't bear to break this birth-like situation.
Suddenly, a person walked by, bumped Shen Shu hard, and his figure flickered by, hiding in the flow of people.
Shen Shu frowned, although there were many people on the bridge, there was still a gap, and the person just now used great force, obviously, he deliberately rushed into him.
When he was distracted, Shen Shu suddenly heard a girl's exclamation in his ear, followed by a "poof", and the water splashed high under his eyes-
"Woo'er!"
Shi Qingqian was happily leaning over to look into the distance, but she was pushed hard behind her defenselessly, and then she threw herself out, and she couldn't control her balance in the air at all, and fell straight into the river of her feet.
The New Year has just passed, and the river has deliberately chiseled the ice for the Lantern Festival.
Shi Qingqian planted defenselessly, and the biting cold instantly wrapped her from the inside out, letting her struggle desperately in the water, but she could never grasp the straw that saved her life, and her consciousness gradually drifted away under the extremely cold and oxygen-deficient water surface......
"Miss!" Seeing this, Xue Ying and Changwu, who had been following in the distance, rushed over with a roar, but before they could reach the front, there was a sound of falling water, and Changwu was so shocked that he even paused, "! Lord Wangβ"
When Shen Shu fished Shi Qingqian up, he saw Xue Ying and Changwu, as well as a group of black-clothed secret guards kneeling around.
He gasped, droplets of water dripping from the ends of his soaked hair and rolling along his jawline to his chin, and the mountain ghost mask on his face had already been washed away by the current, and he didn't know where to go. The black burqa on his body and the pale blue robe inside were only attached to his body due to the water.
And Shi Qingqian was lying in his arms in embarrassment at the moment.
The secret guard led by him stepped forward and saluted: "The five princesses under the secret guard, the guard is not careful, and then he will receive a punishment from Her Royal Highness the princess!" β
Maybe it was because of the water, Shen Shu's phoenix eyes were full of bright red bloodshots, but they still couldn't stop his fierce eyes. His eyes were like flying blades, and he saw the hearts of those dark guards tremble, and he took a few steps back uncontrollably.
After a moment, Shen Shu retracted his gaze, turned his head and continued to look at the person in his arms, and shouted sharply: "Xue Ying!" β
"Slaves, slaves and maids are here!" Xue Ying, who was named, was stunned for a moment and hurriedly responded.
"Take Miss Seven to the carriage of Miss Prime Minister, and send it back to the Hou Mansion quickly!" He and Nago had come on foot, and he could think of the nearest carriage being Miss Prime Minister's.
After saying that, Shen Shu sent Shi Qingqian into Xue Ying's arms, turned around and walked away quickly.
In a trance, Shi Qingqian tried hard to open his eyes, and could only see a touch of pale blue in the blur, as well as the figure that was several degrees familiar.
Before she finished reading the word "Shen ......", the strength of her whole body seemed to be drained, and her consciousness completely dissipated.
