Chapter 005: Tanabata
It was afternoon, and the sun was shining through the lush foliage of the tall sycamores, gently caressing the people snuggling up on the soft couches under the trees.
Hua Mian picked up a small jujube in her purse and put it on Ji Yunye's lips: "Brother Ye, I've gained a lot of weight these days." ”
"Nope." Ji Yunye stretched out his tongue and rolled the dates into his mouth and chewed them.
"It's going to deceive people, it's you who fed me so fat." Hua Mian said, throwing the little jujube he had just picked up in his hand and easily picking it up in his mouth.
Ji Yunye glanced at the purse in her hand: "Actually, if you don't eat so many snacks, you may be as light as a swallow." ”
Hua Mian always likes to carry some small snacks with him, and when he thinks about it, he puts one in his mouth and chews it. As a result, her small mouth is often in motion. Since Dongli and Xiyan traded, she has always left a place for Xiyan little red dates in her small purse. The jujube is sweet but not greasy, the taste is extremely beautiful, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after eating, which is wonderful.
"Well, yes, but what if I like it so much?"
"Actually, it's pretty good, it's so cute. You can eat with confidence, Brother Ye will never dislike it. "What Ji Yunye thought in his heart was that you were so fat that no one wanted it, so that I could wait for you to be in time with peace of mind. You don't know how glamorous you are.
"Brother Ye, you're so nice." Hua Mian put her small mouth on the side of Ji Yunye's cheek and printed a kiss.
Ji Yunye smiled: "Today is Tanabata, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, I'll take you out for a walk." ”
Hua Mian's eyes suddenly lit up with stars, and she said happily: "Yes, yes, how did I forget it." Let's hurry up. ”
The small hand fell into a slightly larger hand, and the warmth reached the bottom of her heart, and Hua Mian spread her calves and ran towards the outside of the hall. Ji Yunye's eyes were full of smiles that couldn't be hidden.
Because he ran too fast, at a turn, Hua Mian collided with a fleshy thing, and one rebounded and fell into the arms of Ji Yunye behind him. The fleshy thing sat down on the ground and let out a wail.
When she saw the object in front of her, Hua Mian snorted and laughed, she handed him her hand and said, "I haven't seen your figure these days, and when I come today, I will give such a big gift, but this is not how the ceremony is done." Ha ha. ”
Standing up with Hua Mian's strength, Ji Lingzhi's little face was a little embarrassed: "It's not that I was hit by you daredevil." ”
Hua Mian pinched his cheek: "Anyway, where have you been hiding these days?" I came back from the ghost gate, and I didn't see you come to see me, but I really have no conscience. ”
Ji Ling hurriedly grabbed Hua Mian's little hand and said, "Mian'er, are you angry with me?" I didn't mean to. It was the queen mother who didn't let me come, she said that you are fine, and prepared a lot of homework for me on literature and martial arts, saying that if I can finish learning and pass the assessment before the Qixi Festival, I will be allowed to go out of the palace to play on the day of the Qixi Festival. You said you went on a trip to the ghost gate, is it true? If I had known this, I would have come to see you even if I had disobeyed my mother. ”
"Alright, alright, teasing you. Don't you see how alive I am? Seeing Ji Lingzhi's appearance of crying, Hua Mian couldn't bear it.
Ji Lingzhi's face immediately rained and the sky cleared, and he said happily: "Great, then let's go out of the palace to play together." ”
"Not good!"
"Why?"
"Tanabata is spent together by two people who like each other. Do you like me? ”
"I like it." Ji Lingzhi replied without hesitation.
"Which one likes? Is it the kind of love that my brother likes for his sister, or the kind of love that he hopes to marry me in the future? ”
Ji Lingzhi's face turned red, and he said in a voice like a gnat: "It's the kind of love that I hope to marry you in the future." ”
Hua Mian was helpless, so she had to hit him and said: "You are a person with a marriage contract, don't waste your feelings on me." ”
Ji Ling hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, in the future, I will let Princess Amaterasu be the side concubine, and you will be my main concubine." ”
Hua Mian pouted: "Don't do it, I hope that my future husband will only marry me, and I don't want to share a husband with other women." Besides, you're not going to marry an ordinary princess, it's the empress dowager, the future empress of Amaterasu. Don't expect a group of wives and concubines, but you'll have to share a wife with many men. ”
Ji Lingzhi said dejectedly: "So that's the case, then I'll go to my father and ask him to give me a divorce." ”
"Divorce?" Hua Mian continued to tease him, "Is it because you can't marry a few more concubines?" ”
Ji Lingzhi immediately said with a straight face: "It's not!" With you, one is enough. ”
Hua Mian was a little moved, but she still regretfully said to Ji Ling: "Alas, it's a pity, I already have a heart." ”
"Huh? Who is it? ”
"Of course it's Brother Ye!" Hua Mian turned his head to look at Ji Yunye, but saw that the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he smiled with a smile, so he took a moment to enjoy the rather comical performance of the two of them.
"Hey, are you laughing at me?" Hua Mian was dissatisfied with Ji Yunye's expression and pursed her lips.
Ji Yunye touched Hua Mian's head: "Of course not." You don't know how cute you are. ”
Ji Lingzhi glared at Ji Yunye angrily and said, "Brother Huang, how can you be like this, Mian'er is mine." ”
"Who said I was yours? If you have a marriage contract, I will never be yours. ”
Ji Lingzhi looked at Hua Mian when he heard this, and his expression was quite aggrieved. Hua Mian was trying to comfort him, but he turned and ran away.
Hua Mian turned her head to look at Ji Yunye, but saw him chuckling and shaking his head, thinking that he had come to see them as children. She tilted her head and thought about it, the conversation they had just now seemed to be very childish, and then she put this little episode behind her, and left the palace with Ji Yunye holding hands.
The eastern imperial capital is full of high-rise buildings and flying rafters, wide streets and deep alleys, and many shops, which is prosperous. Especially on such a special day, people start to prepare for the arrival of night early in the morning, which is even more gorgeous.
"Brother Ye, I've never been to Qing since I grew up so big. Floor. Brother Ye hasn't been there either, has he? ”
Ji Yunye was holding Hua Myan's little hand and listening to the cries along the street, looking at the dazzling array of goods in a novel way, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Hua Myan's words, he whispered in her ear: "Actually, it's okay to take you there, but the queen mother has been deposed as the prince because I am for you, if I know that you and I go to that filthy place, I am afraid that it will not be good for you." ”
Hua Mian felt that it was reasonable, so she deeply agreed. Hearing him mention the abolition of the reserve, she couldn't help but think of the scene when Ji Yunye killed Li Jieyu for her that day, so she tilted her head and asked, "Does Li Jieyu really admit that she poisoned her?" ”
Ji Yunye hooked his lips and smiled: "Little girl, did you guess something?" ”
"Didn't she admit it?" Hua Mian couldn't help but be taken aback, "Then aren't you guilty for no reason?" ”
"Although I am no longer the prince, but I am also the eldest son, if those people don't shut up, they will naturally know their fate, even if they say it, I am not afraid, who can help me?"
Hua Mian said sadly: "Brother Ye, can you promise me not to be so impulsive in the future?" ”
"Well, I promise you. I will no longer put you at a disadvantage by my impulses. Ji Yunye's "unfavorable" refers to the queen's accusation that he called him to Myanmar, and he was afraid that the queen would object to him being with Myanmar in the future.
The two went to a restaurant, had a hearty meal, and waited for the night to come.
At night, the light market is like day, and pedestrians are weaving, including many couples. Because the description of the two is too outstanding, it has attracted a lot of side eyes. There was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who had just fallen in love, stuffed the sachet she had sewn into Ji Yunye's arms, and looked at him shyly.
Ji Yunye didn't know what the girl meant, but Hua Mian snatched the sachet and stuffed it back into the girl's hand: "He has already made a marriage, and we will get married after I meet him." ”
The little girl's smiling face suddenly froze, Huo Di turned red, and she apologized in embarrassment and ran away.
"What's going on?" Ji Yunye was stunned and watched the girl disappear in front of him in a blink of an eye, and turned his head to ask Hua Mian.
"This is a token of love, how can you accept it casually?" Hua Mian said angrily, "If I'm not here, you're just afraid that you don't know how many peach blossoms you will provoke." ”
Ji Yunye laughed, and he pinched Hua Mian's pretty little nose: "Ghosts and spirits." ”
Hua Mian slapped his hand away, and was about to continue educating him, but when he looked up, he saw a beautiful woman coming to her, and she said "Huh" and said, "Isn't that Lan Xirui?" She's so persistent, you can meet her everywhere you go. ”
When Ji Yunye followed Hua Mian's line of sight, Lan Xirui had already crossed the crowd and walked closer, Ruhua's little face was full of surprise, and she curtsied: "See Your Highness." ”
Ji Yunye smiled kindly: "This is outside, no need to be polite." ”
Lan Xirui got up and said shyly: "I heard that the heart lake is lively, many people are putting lotus lanterns, let's go and put them too." ”
"Brother Ye, I'm tired, can you carry me?" Hua Myanmar wastes no time in authenticity.
Ji Yunye smiled lightly and half-squatted down. Hua Mian happily leaned on his back.
After getting up, Ji Yunye smiled apologetically at Lan Xirui: "Apologize, I'm afraid it won't work today, so it's better to change the day." ”
"But today is a special day." Lan Xirui was obviously unwilling to give up this opportunity to get along with Ji Yunye.
"Oh, yes." Hua Mian interjected, "Today is Tanabata, write down your wishes with your beloved, put them in the lanterns and put them in the lake, and the old man will bless the couple. People eventually become married. ”
"yes, so we ......"
"Thank you Miss Lan for reminding me, and Mian'er and I are going to put out the lanterns. I also hope that Miss Lan can find her crush today. I took my leave. ”
“……”
Looking at Ji Yunye's brisk figure leaving, and the little fox on his back with smiling eyes, Lan Xirui's chest rose and fell sharply.
Ji Yunye only felt that the chest of the little man on his back shook. He pinched the flesh off his hand, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Are you so happy?"
"Well, of course I'm happy." Her voice was filled with an unconcealable smile, "Brother Ye, you are so good." ”
Ji Yunye lifted her body up, but smiled silently.
There was no more words all the way, until I stood by the lively listening lake.
"Hey, come down."
didn't respond for a long time, Ji Yunye looked back and saw Hua Mian's little head hanging on his shoulder, his eyes were lightly closed, his eyelashes were slightly curled, and he was cute. But the sparkle hanging from the corners of his mouth and the wetness under his lips made him frown.
He gently lowered her, wrapped her in his arms, and whispered, "Little lazy cat, wake up, let's put the lights on." ”
Hua Mian seemed to be very sleepy, and she muttered, "I want to sleep, you can help me put it." ”
Ji Yunye was helpless, hugged her horizontally, bought a lotus lamp, wrote "I wish to marry Myanmar in the end" on oiled paper and placed it in it, and then reverently put it into the lake.
Seeing the lantern drifting away, but changing direction after colliding with another lantern in the lake, Ji Yunye felt suffocated for no reason.
Many years later, Hua Mian would be heartbroken every time she remembered this night, although she knew that everything had her own destiny, but she still regretted how she was so sleepy at that time, if she could put the lamp with her wild brother, maybe she would be sincere.
