Chapter 53: The Blessing of Prayer
This familiar voice made her violently excited, Mu Anle turned her head, and sure enough, she crashed into a pair of inky eyes.
She didn't know when Qi Junyi came up.
"This son, you came just in time." As soon as the host saw that Qi Junyi was dressed extraordinarily, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Miss doesn't seem to be willing to give up the lantern in her arms, so I suggest choosing another one to pray for, and she seems to be a little ......."
"If you like it, buy it, what else do you have to hesitate about?" Qi Junyi frowned and asked Mu Anle.
"Yes, yes, yes." The man also helped to speak, "Today's Lantern Festival, everyone prays for blessings, Miss Gongzi is talented and beautiful, don't you ask God for a good marriage?" β
Mu Anle's face was so red that he seemed to be baked by the various lanterns around, "I have already said that I don't need lanterns, and besides, ......"
"You're right." Qi Junyi interrupted her lightly, and looked at the person in charge with a slight squint, as if he was very satisfied with what he had just said.
"In that case, let's get another glass lantern."
"Okay, I'll go!"
As the man left, Mu Anle and Qi Junyi also walked to the stage, she looked at Qi Junyi with a complaint in her eyes, and couldn't help sighing.
"That person obviously wanted to sell us the lamp, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to be fooled?"
"When did I fall for it?" Qi Junyi smiled indifferently, "Isn't that because you want that lantern from your fiancΓ©e?" β
Mu Anle hurriedly shook his head, "Stop, I never said that I wanted another lantern, didn't you reach a consensus with him?" β
"It's not because you want it, otherwise how would I agree?"
Hearing these remarks, Mu Anle was so angry that she almost vomited blood, she couldn't remember that she had said such a thing, Qi Junyi was a fast person!
After a while, the man brought the lantern, and the candle was already burning in it.
After receiving the money, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "This young lady, the moat is not far ahead, everyone is putting lanterns there, you can also go there to have a look." β
"Let's go, then!" Qi Junyi grabbed her arm without saying a word, and led Mu Anle through the layers of crowds and walked in the direction of the moat.
"You...., can you let go of me first, pull and pull like this, and let others see how bad it is......"
Mu Anle's face was flushed, like a cloud burning by a tongue of fire on the horizon, she desperately wanted to retreat, but found that Qi Junyi's hand was getting stronger and stronger.
He turned his head suddenly, his ink-colored eyes were as sharp as a sword, and then he warned Mu Anle viciously: "If you dare to refuse me again, I will hold you in my arms and let everyone take a good look!"
This time, Mu Anle was completely quiet and followed Qi Junyi's traction until the two came to the moat.
The surface of the river is sparkling, and under the moonlight, it looks like a river of elixir and jade dew, shimmering with a charming and dazzling halo. On the surface of the river, thousands of orange lights converge into dazzling starlight, which is confusing and reverie.
At this moment, the sky and the water are connected, reflecting each other, and it is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.
Mu Anle suddenly understood why someone would come to put lanterns, this was not only a blessing, it was simply a spiritual enjoyment, she had never seen such a beautiful scene.
"If you don't plan to put the lantern yet, maybe it will go out later."
Listening to the cold reminder behind her, Mu Anle reacted, she hurriedly squatted down and put the lantern in her hand into the moat.
Anyway, she didn't spend money to buy the lantern, and besides, she already has one left to commemorate, so it may not be impossible to use this one to pray for blessings.
Watching the glazed lanterns on the river gradually drift away, Mu Anle's eyes were confused.
If she can pray for blessings, then she hopes that there will be no more accidents in her life, she just wants to live safely and build the Spring Regret Building better, and there is nothing else to think about.
After a long time, she heard footsteps behind her, and then she came back to her senses and hurriedly stood up.
"Alright. His Royal Highness. The lanterns have been put down, and I've had enough, so why don't I go back now. β
Although today is happy, Mu Anle has not forgotten the most important thing, if they are looking for themselves at this time, it is not about to be exposed.
However, Qi Junyi didn't pay attention to her words, but looked at her directly, as if he wanted to see Mu Anle's heart through those apricot eyes.
"Did you just pray for a blessing?"
"Of course!" Mu Anle replied with a smile, "Since the lantern was bought by His Royal Highness the Prince, I naturally won't feel distressed, and I should pray for blessings." β
"Really?" Qi Junyi smiled indifferently, and then asked, "Then what blessing did you pray for?" β
Mu Anle hurriedly shook his hand, with an expression of rejection on his face, "That's not good, how can you let others know the content of the blessing?" If it is known, then it will not work, will it not work? β
Seeing Qi Junyi's face darken, Mu Anle hurriedly opened his mouth to change the topic, hoping that he would not continue to ask himself.
"Your Royal Highness, it's getting late, why don't we go back, if Mu Yuhan wakes up today, then I will really be wronged. When the time comes, let alone help you collect intelligence, it may be difficult for me to leave King An's Mansion! β
Perhaps thinking that there was some truth in this, Qi Junyi had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and then turned to leave, Mu Anle saw this, and followed behind him.
So the two of them walked all the way until they finally came to the roof of the bamboo forest courtyard.
And the moment he saw the bright lights in the courtyard, Mu Anle had a bad premonition in his heart.
She noticed that there were more guards in the courtyard than before. Several of them held torches in their hands, reflecting the small courtyard as if it were daytime, and Leng Xiang and Leng Yue were stubbornly guarding the door.
"We have already said, the county lord of Anle is asleep, if there is something please come back tomorrow, you are not allowed to disturb her tonight, she has been unwell for the past few days, and she is recuperating at this time!"
"The county lord of Anle must follow us tonight, the prince and Mrs. Zhao are waiting for her, if you two slaves and maids who don't know how to lift are still in front of the door, don't blame us for being polite."
"If you have the ability, you can come, in short, no one is allowed to leave with the county lord Anle today, she must rest here!"
Leng Xiang still spoke stubbornly, and Mu Anle, who was watching this scene on the roof, couldn't help but ooze cold sweat.
"I knew it wasn't going to go this way tonight." She frowned, the tips of her fingers grabbing the tile were slightly white, and then she turned her head to look at Qi Junyi beside her.
"Your Royal Highness, the situation is special, I can't accompany you anymore. You can take me into the house and leave. I will solve this matter by myself, and I will not interfere with you. β
Mu Anle's eyes are neither humble nor arrogant, even like starlight.
