Chapter 194: Lantern Festival

If Du Yiyi is just an ordinary woman, if Ning Zhiyuan is just a person from Wuyi Lane, the matter of the child is just a matter of the husband and wife, Ning Zhiyuan is King Rui, the emperor's favorite fourth son, Du Yiyi is Princess Rui, and is the sister of Shen Ke, the first person in the military who is the most important person in the emperor's current life.

It is not so much that Du Yiyi and Ning Zhiyuan need a child to maintain their relationship as husband and wife, but that others need this child more to maintain their interests.

Obviously, it is a dealer and a butcher who needs dogs and horses to mate and give birth to cubs to make money and eat meat, but it is said that for the dogs and horses, the dogs and horses are not lonely and empty.

I believe no one will like this feeling.

From the perspective of others, Ning Zhiyuan, who asserts that he can't live for a long time, needs a child to continue the incense, and Du Yiyi, the princess of Rui, also needs a child to stabilize the position of the princess, but this is just a bystander, and the eyes of others are always just things that have nothing to do with him.

Ning Zhiyuan may need a child, but Du Yiyi doesn't need it, she doesn't even need this husband's marriage.

Therefore, Concubine De tried her best to put her tongue in her left ear and out of her right ear, and she only smiled at Lu Xiangxuemian's words of consolation.

In her vision, there was no such child.

"The lanterns have been lit in the east of the city, let's go now, it's too late to squeeze in!"

After eating two bowls of rice balls, Ning Zhiyuan put down the spoon very satisfied, and wiped his lips with the square towel handed over by Hongjin.

You dignified King Rui, can a Shuntian Mansion Yin who has been cleaned up by you be obedient still not let you in? Du Yiyi slowly put down the spoon, chewed and swallowed the rice balls in his mouth slowly.

"Yes, yes! Last year, I went late and missed the excitement in vain! Ning Xiao, who was already clean in the bowl in front of her, had been waiting for this sentence, she happily came to Du Yiyi, and said with a smile: "I am looking forward to the Lantern Festival every year, and this year I can finally get my wish!" ”

"It's just that I'm full, and I can still eat when I walk more." Lu Xiangxue took out a handkerchief and wiped her lips, and smiled and grabbed Shen Ke's arm.

"Let's go! General Shen appeared at the Lantern Festival, and I don't know if those girls still have the heart to look at the lanterns! Ning Zhiyuan smiled and quipped: "Fortunately, Lord Cao knows that this king is going to the lantern festival, and has already left a quiet place for us to enjoy the lanterns!" ”

Shen Ke pursed his lips and chuckled, and put his left hand on the back of Lu Xiangxue's arm and got up.

Ning Xiao smiled and pulled Du Yiyi up, Du Yiyi and Qinglan nodded, watched her stand up with Chang Liu, and then began to walk out.

Listening to her talking about the Lantern Festival again in Ning Xiao's mouth, Du Yiyi's mood was also a little better, and the people in the capital were now flocking to the east of the city, and the original few lively streets in the north of the city were sparsely populated and extremely deserted.

The full moon hangs high, looking down on the capital.

In the capital, there are two places full of fire.

One came from the north of the city, and it was the royal palace where the people stopped.

One from the eastern part of the city was a slum dwelling where the elite rarely set foot foot.

The emperor ordered Shuntianfu to organize the Lantern Festival, that is, to have fun with the people, yesterday the Tibetan envoys arrived in the capital today is the festival, as a friend of the Celestial Empire, it is natural to let these envoys who come with hostility to see the lights of the capital when the lights are at their peak.

The quiet place that Lord Cao set aside for Ning Zhiyuan is indeed a quiet place where you can watch the lanterns without being disturbed by others.

Hear the morning bell and dusk drum every day, go to the bell tower Du Yiyi is the first time, there are four bell towers in the capital city, although the east of the city is the same height as the other four, but in the east of the city where the poor gather and do not see the high-rise buildings, it is open to the sky and has a wide field of vision.

Under the bell tower, there are clusters of lanterns, and the people are like streams.

"Boring! What is the difference between this and looking at the lanterns at the Royal Palace! ”

Ning Xiao, who was bent on blending in with the people and experiencing the fun, was very dissatisfied, and since he went upstairs, he has seized the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with Lord Cao.

Ning Zhiyuan knew that if she didn't fulfill her wishes, she would definitely not be at peace this night, so after thinking about it, he could only let Qin Huai come forward: "In this way, Qin Huai, you protect Ning Xiao and take her down to have a look!" ”

"Yes!"

Ning Xiao left happily, and the few people upstairs were all people who loved quietness.

"Yiyi, the people of the capital don't recognize Zhiyuan and you! With such a festive beauty, you two don't go down for a walk? Lu Xiangxue stood beside Shen Ke, both of them were snow-white, and under the light, they were indeed like immortals.

Du Yiyi was about to speak, but under the dim light, a hand quietly covered her palm, and she turned her head in shock, facing the pair of reflecting golden lamp eyes.

Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "That's right, let's not disturb General Shen's Mrs. Shen's tranquility, let's go down for a walk, the lantern festival will not go in to see, how can you see the fun, Chang Liu, you come with us!" ”

"Yiyi, stay in the mansion more, and move around more, you go! We'll just watch it right here! I have some things I want to consult with Mr. Chang, I wonder if Mr. Chang may give Shen this face? ”

Shen Ke is no better than Ning Zhiyuan, who lives in a simple place, since he entered Beijing, every time he returns triumphantly, he is welcomed by the people when he enters the city, and the people of the capital no one recognize him, and his appearance in the lantern festival will inevitably bring chaos.

"Don't dare to ask for advice, princess and princess, I won't go! Have fun! Chang Liu bowed slightly and smiled clearly.

How could Du Yiyi not understand that these people were creating a chance for herself and Ning Zhiyuan to be alone, seeing that Qinglan, who had been silent on the side, had a faint look of loss, she was busy pulling out her hand in Ning Zhiyuan's palm. "Qinglan, let's go down and have a look!"

Shen Keru's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to look at the person he hated behind him. Qinglan softly smiled softly with her upper body hidden in the darkness: "I like the quietness here, so I won't accompany you!" Have fun with the princess and princess! ”

"You all like to be quiet, but I want to join in the fun! Let's go, let's go! ”

Ning Zhiyuan nodded gratefully with Chang Liu, happily took Du Yiyi's hand, and without waiting for Du Yiyi to speak, he kicked a few steps and pulled her down the stairs, Qinglan pulled the broken hair that was not in her ears, and took a step back to completely hide herself in the dark, she understood very well the hostility of the first military hero in front of her.

On the bell tower, the bronze bell that was blown by the wind was buzzing, Shen Ke held the railing with his hand, looked at the two people who had walked into the crowd, looked at the tightly clasped hands, the bell tower was half light and half dark, and his low cheeks pulled out a long shadow, enveloping his chest.

Feeling the strangeness of the person who slept with him beside her, Lu Xiangxue Dai, who had a shallow smile, frowned, looked at the two people who had already disappeared into the crowd with silent and resentful eyes, and bit her red lips lightly to look away.

"Mrs. Shen is not feeling well?" In the dark, Qinglan took a step forward, and her beautiful face was illuminated by the light, which was bright and abnormal.

Hearing this displeased voice, Shen Ke's brows tightened, Lu Xiangxue raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Qinglan's eyes, and Hall smiled and said: "The wind on the bell tower is a little strong, and it is really unbearable to blow for a long time!" ”

"Why don't Qinglan help Mrs. Shen to sit downstairs?" Qinglan said with a smile.

Thinking of the name in her heart, Lu Xiangxue's calm gaze gradually rippled, and she always felt that she had found a treasure!

"Good! Husband, you talk slowly with Mr. Chang, and I'll wait for you first! ”

"Pay attention to your body!" Shen Ke didn't say much, although he hated Qinglan, he knew that Qinglan would never dare to hurt Lu Xiangxue, besides, there were some things he really wanted to talk to Chang Liu in private.

………………

There is never a shortage of lively lights in the capital, and there is no shortage of lights at night, but most people like the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, whether it is the lanterns of the Lantern Festival or the lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival, the lights of the capital will gather in one place, and the flow of people will also gather in one place.

In the crowd, Du Yiyi tried to break free several times, but failed to get his wish.

Ning Zhiyuan's hand was clenched as if it was stained with glue, he pulled her to look at the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, watch others guess the lantern riddles, watch some lovers flirt and scold, look at some couples and couples, and always have the most perfect smile on the corner of his mouth.

Du Yiyi has long lost the romantic feelings of a girl, Ning Zhiyuan smiled happily, but she was indifferent.

"Why don't we buy a few lanterns and put them on? Look at the lake, how beautiful! Ning Zhiyuan pointed to the small lake not far ahead, on which there were countless lotus lanterns, all of which were the prayers of young men and girls.

"The lantern festival is really a lively, I think we should go back!"

Du Yiyi was not interested, she turned her head to look at the bell tower that was already far away from her, and only saw Shen Ke and Chang Liu standing side by side looking down, and did not see Lu Xiangxue and Qinglan.

"It's your proposal to look at the lanterns, how can you be so disappointing, I'll buy two!" Ning Zhiyuan completely ignored Du Yiyi's bitter face, he pulled her through the crowd, took out a broken silver and bought two lanterns.

"Childe, this is a prayer lantern, if you have someone in your heart, write your name, but it is very effective!" The lantern boss happily handed over the pen.

Ning Zhiyuan didn't think about it, let go of the pen, and wrote down the three words Du Yiyi.

But when he turned back with another lantern, Du Yiyi was gone.

The bright smile condensed, Ning Zhiyuan looked at the lotus lamp in his hand angrily, thought about it, and wrote his name on the other one.

The Lantern Festival is organized by the government, and there are guards around it, so it is impossible to commit a crime at this time, Du Yiyi disappeared, and it was because she wanted to disappear.

Picking up the lantern, he walked to the small lake, put the lantern on the surface of the lake, and watched the lantern being pushed by the breeze and gradually moving away from the lakeshore, he turned around and began to search for Du Yiyi's figure in the crowd.

Just now, he made a wish.

Du Yiyi may not need a child, but he does! Du Yiyi may not need this marriage, but he does! Du Yiyi may not need this husband, but he needs this wife!

This is not a benefit.

It's his true feelings.
