Chapter 59: A Chance Encounter on Tanabata
On the night of the Qixi Festival, the Jade Capital City is very lively.
The street is full of people, and the stalls on both sides are filled with all kinds of exquisite trinkets, which dazzle people, and the colorful lanterns hanging on the branches are blooming with colorful bright light, and the silk flowers of various colors are fluttering lightly in the wind.
There are fireworks blooming in the sky from time to time, Mu Yunxi is dressed in a white brocade robe, black hair is like ink, the style is outstanding, and the legacy stands proudly, like a shining pearl in the dark night, and it cannot be drowned in the crowd.
The folding fan in his hand shook gently, adding a bit of elegance, walking on the street, such a peerless son, attracting all kinds of amazing and admiring eyes from the little girls on the street.
Suddenly, I heard a soft call not far away: "Yunxi." ”
She raised her eyes and looked over, and saw Shangguan Yunxiao, who was dressed in purple casual clothes, walking towards her, so she smiled faintly and said, "King Shu also has the leisure to come out to watch the Lantern Festival?" ”
Hearing her call herself "King of Dreams", Shangguan Yunxiao frowned slightly, since he knew Mu Yunxi's identity, he had always wanted to go to General Ling Wei's mansion to see her, but he couldn't find an excuse, and he was the one who had just withdrawn from Mu Yunxi's marriage, and his identity was even more embarrassing. I also put some hope on coming out today, to see if I could meet her, but I didn't expect him to be so lucky, but her alienation made him sad, so he said casually: "Didn't you say that you want to be friends in the future?" Since we're friends, just call me Yun Xiao, why are you so rusty? ”
Mu Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but still called: "Yun Xiao." ”
Shangguan Yunxiao smiled comfortably and said, "Yunxi, look at your men's clothes, you are heroic, I almost didn't recognize it." This should be your first lantern festival after coming to Yudu! Let me have fun with you today. ”
Mu Yunxi nodded in agreement, subconsciously, she was used to being alone, so she didn't let Xing'er accompany her. It's just that habit is one thing, but it doesn't mean that she won't feel lonely. Even today, when she saw this lively lantern scene, she felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
Along the way, Shangguan Yunxiao would take the trouble to explain something interesting to her whenever she saw it, and she just listened quietly.
This feeling of having someone to accompany you is, in fact, not so repulsive.
Not far away, a group of children wore lotus leaf half-arm dresses, holding lotus leaves, and frolicked happily.
Mu Yunxi looked at the frolicking children, and a picture flashed in his mind in a trance, as if it was the same scene, with a sugar gourd in his hand, walking with several people.
Among those people, it was Shangguan Yuchen who stood beside him.
Dressed in white brocade, it is like a fairy.
Her mind moved, and she lost her mind for a moment.
Shangguan Yunxiao smiled and asked, "Yunxi, should we also guess a lantern riddle?" ”
Mu Yunxi quickly collected his mind and said lightly: "No." ”
The Lantern Festival is bustling nearby, and you can hear a few lines of poetry, talk and laugh, and applaud endlessly.
However, at this time, Mu Yunxi was just thinking about the picture that flashed in his mind just now, and he was a little absent-minded.
Unconsciously walked to the lake, the flower boats on the lake were slow, and the young men and women on the lake released the lanterns in their hands with longing.
A boy held a girl's hand: "Xue'er, you have to believe in my sincerity, I really love you, even if you become like Miss Mu of General Ling Wei's mansion, I will still love you for the rest of my life." ”
When the words fell, the girl named "Xue'er" suddenly turned crimson.
The corners of Mu Yunxi's mouth twitched, why did she make a good confession? When did she seem unsalted? turned his head to look at Shangguan Yunxiao, but saw that his face was pale, as if he was said to be the one who looked like he was unsalted.
Shangguan Yunxiao turned his head to comfort her and said, "Don't pay attention to this kind of boring slander. They think you're too beautiful and jealous. ”
said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, but what was done was earth-shattering.
Before Mu Yunxi could say a word, he had already rushed to the boy, grabbed the boy's collar with one hand, knocked the boy's head with the other, looked at him angrily, and asked angrily: "Who told you that the eldest lady of the Mu family seems to be saltless?" ”
The boy just felt inexplicable, which tendon was wrong with this person? With an unlucky look, he said loudly: "Everyone in the Yudu City says so, if it weren't for the fact that Miss Mu seems to have no salt, why would His Royal Highness King Shu be in a hurry to withdraw from the marriage as soon as he saw Miss Mu's face?" caused this Miss Mu to run away from home and look for death and life? ”
Shangguan Yunxiao was suddenly dumbfounded, it turned out that it was all his own sin!
Mu Yunxi pulled him over, but signaled that he didn't have to go to his heart.
Shangguan Yunxiao said apologetically: "I have harmed you so far, but you still hide the crime of kidnapping the daughter of an important minister for me, I'm sorry." ”
"It's nothing, I'm hiding it for you for my own good!" Mu Yunxi shook the folding fan, smiled indifferently, and saw that he still looked apologetic, and said, "If you really feel that you owe me, then you promise me one thing." ”
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Yunxiao asked subconsciously.
The folding fan shook a few times, and Mu Yunxi smiled: "Hmm...... I haven't thought about it yet, and I'll tell you when I think about it. ”
In fact, she just said it casually, slowly apologizing, but Shangguan Yunxiao replied in a serious tone: "Okay, what you propose, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse." ”
