"Madame laughed, this is a sister, as a brother, I just came to accompany her to pray for blessings." The polite and detached voice sounded in her ears, and she looked at his handsome side face and was slightly stunned, she wanted to break free, but she stopped after hearing the word brother and sister.

The slightly cool hand was wrapped in a warm palm, and the temperature seemed to reach the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, it's a bit lonely to pray alone." The woman nodded in agreement.

Prayers are generally for happiness and fulfillment, and for the happiness of the family. Therefore, the people who come are usually friends and relatives in groups, and they are happy. In this environment, if a person is alone, it will inevitably be a little out of place.

After a few small talks, the two of them said goodbye to the woman.

"Just ...... Thank you. Su Qingyu lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyelashes fluttering like Hu Butterfly cast a shadow, covering her thoughts.

A touch of pity filled Toru Takizawa's heart, and suddenly, there was some movement from the fist in his hand, and a muffled voice came from his ear: "Your Highness, can you let go of your hand now?" ”

Hearing this, he frowned slightly, and a touch of reluctance crossed his heart. It's just that after thinking of his plan for the future, a haze crossed his eyes, and the movements in his hands loosened.

"The Blessing Dance is about to begin!" Suddenly, a burst of exclamations erupted not far away, and many crowds kept rushing towards them, almost breaking the two apart.

Toru Takizawa instantly took her hand and pulled her into his arms.

Smelling the familiar smell on the tip of his nose, Su Qingyu's heart trembled slightly, and his hand subconsciously pushed him away. After all, she only hopes for a cooperative relationship with him, not an ambiguous relationship.

At this time, out of nowhere, a red prayer belt with no writing came and drifted to her head with the wind.

Seeing this, Toru Takizawa gently took it off. When the wave of people passed, he let go of her before Su Qingyu could speak.

Looking at the red streamer on his hand, his eyes flashed slightly, and his pupils were as deep as an abyss, with a bit of mystery.

Suddenly, he said in a low voice: "Now that there are many people at the temple fair, it is extremely easy for you and this king to get separated, but because there is a difference between men and women, it is not appropriate to be too intimate, so it is better for this king to tie this ribbon between your wrists, and then you can hold this streamer, what do you think?" There was a bit of flatness in the tone, and it was impossible to find a little weirdness and ambiguity.

She glanced up at the person who had finally reached her normal, and after a moment of silence, she nodded and stretched out her wrist

Seeing this, the corners of Takizawa's mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile, and looking at the place where the blessing streamer floated, a black figure flashed. Looking at the retired secret guard, he suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes instantly returned to calm. Gently tie the blessing ribbon to the weak wrist.

As soon as it was tied, suddenly another wave of people rushed over, rubbing shoulders one after another. He frowned slightly, and immediately gripped the other end of the streamer tightly.

At this time, the music score of praying for heaven was played, and the sound of silk and bamboo floated into the ears, with a bit of solemnity and holiness. Many women have learned the movements of the blessing dance in advance, and at this time they dance to the music, their faces are full of pious smiles, even the orchid fingers that are cocked at random are according to a certain angle, extremely accurate, like the people in the flying mural.

"Let's go somewhere with fewer people." Toru Takizawa looked at the person who was a little embarrassed and said lightly.

Su Qingyu nodded and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

Seeing this, he turned and walked towards the less crowded area, not paying the slightest attention to the people behind him. just held the red ribbon in his hand tightly, and the red ribbon was tied to Su Qingyu at that end.

The two left slowly, looking at the backs of the two from behind, one high and one low, the red ribbon in the middle was particularly obvious, just like a lover who was tied with a red rope by Yue Lao.

After walking to the less crowded place, Takizawa consciously put down the red rope he was holding in his hand, although a fleeting regret flashed in his eyes.

"Donor, do you want a lotus lamp to pray for? Bringing it home can clear away evil spirits, tranquil the house, peace and harmony, and knock the family happy. Suddenly, a little novice came to the two of them with an extremely delicate lotus lantern.

"Don't—"

"Yes."

Two different voices rang out at the same time, but the content was completely different.

Su Qingyu looked at the person next to her who said that she wanted a lotus flower and was slightly surprised, she didn't expect King Rin to believe in such a ghostly thing.

However, Takizawa didn't seem to notice her gaze, just took out a jade pendant from his arms, gently placed it in Xiao Shami's hand, and took the lotus lamp.

Immediately, her hand was heavy: "It's a little weird for this king to hold it, you can hold it." There was a faint voice in his ears, although it was not serious, but it made people unable to say no words.

She looked down at the delicate pink lotus flower in her hand, and then secretly raised her eyes to look at Toru Takizawa, who was dressed in a dark robe and had a bit of a temperament that was not close to people, as if it was not very suitable.

Toru Takizawa looked at the person holding the lotus lantern, his eyes flashing slightly. In his previous life, he really couldn't do these ethereal things, but when he was reborn once, he felt that many things might not be clear at all. So I was willing to buy this lamp, which was regarded as a blessing to Aso.

"Your Highness, I wonder if the courtiers can go to a place?" Suddenly, there was a tentative sound in my ears, and when I turned my head, I saw a pair of watery eyes.

She looked at the eyes of the person in front of her who were angry and angry, and her heart was a little apprehensive.

"Where?" Although he didn't respond directly, he agreed to her request.

She sighed softly, lowering her eyes to cover the thoughts in her eyes: "Find an old man." There was a hint of melancholy in his faint voice.

Even though Qingyi didn't want to see her, she was the only one who gave her motherly care, and although it was only a short year, she always remembered it. Even now, she remembers smallpox, the tired figure who stood in front of her bed for several nights without closing her eyes.

She wanted to see her, so she stole a look.

Toru Takizawa suddenly understood in his heart and didn't say anything more.

Although Fengguo Temple is not small, it is indeed not large. After a while, Su Qingyu followed the memory of the last time and touched the small courtyard where she had last met with Qingyi Jushi.

The two stood in front of the closed door, neither of them speaking.

Her fingertips touched the heavy wooden door, and there was some complexity in her eyes. After a moment, she leaned her head lightly against the door, and glanced slightly, as if leaning against her mother's arms, with a little nostalgia in her expression.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a tree leaning out of the courtyard wall, and she got up slightly, and a thought crossed her mind.

She rolled her eyes and looked at Toru Takizawa, who had been standing behind her, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, there is no one here now, and it is really not good that the blessing lotus you bought with a lot of money is always held by me as an outsider, so it is better for you to hold it for the time being, so that it can recognize the Lord, so as not to be sucked away by me." ”

Immediately, she felt a gaze that could see through what she was thinking, making her eyelashes tremble, slightly uncomfortable.

But when she was about to cover up the past, her hands were empty, and the lotus lantern had been taken away.

However, when she looked up at the person who was a head and a half taller than her, the man just looked at her condescendingly: "Don't go yet." ”

"Huh?" She was slightly shocked in her heart, and then knew that he had seen through what she was thinking, and her face burned slightly. But in an instant, it was pressed down.

After saluting gratefully, she walked quickly to the big tree against the wall, rolled up the hand sleeve that was in the way around her arm, and after tucking it into the cuff, she did not shy away from Toru Takizawa, who was standing on the side and watching her, and began to climb up the tree regardless of the image.

Because she used to be harsh by servants when she was a child, she often couldn't eat, so sometimes she would climb over the wall and go to the kitchen to steal pastries to eat. As a result, she is now nimble when she climbs a tree.

In a few moments, the scene behind the wall came into her eyes.

In the middle of a snowy plum tree, there is a pavilion that is surrounded by a thin bamboo curtain hanging around the pavilion, and there is a sitting figure looming inside, and every move is elegant.

She knew that the shadow was Qingyi Jushi.

Suddenly, a maid walked into the pavilion, and vaguely, she leaned over and said something to the Qingyi monk. Suddenly, Su Qingyu felt that there was a line of sight through the bamboo curtain, shooting straight at her, leaving her with nowhere to follow.

Was it discovered? With a slap in her heart, she hurriedly retreated to the trunk behind her, trying to hide herself in the dense foliage.

But she didn't want to, the blessing streamer that was tied to her wrist before and didn't untie it unconsciously hung on the branches, pulling her backwards, and instantly broke her balance.

Unsteadily, she rolled down the already narrow branches. Although she didn't climb very high, she only fell a little painfully, and she didn't have any worries about her life. But in a panic, her pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but want to scream. Therefore, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to make a sound.

In the rapid fall, the cold wind whistled in his ears, and his heartbeat seemed to stop for a beat.

Suddenly, she fell into a warm embrace, and the familiar smell burrowed into the tip of her nose.

After asking and landing, Toru Takizawa let go of the person in his arms, and said lightly before she spoke: "That streamer was negligent on the part of this king, and it shouldn't have been tied too tightly at that time." ”

Between the words, she took all the blame over, and she choked up what she was going to say. I could only get out of his arms a little dizzy.

Click.

Suddenly, she felt as if something had broken under her feet. Looking down, the crushed lotus lamp at her feet made her eyes widen.

Moving her stiff neck slightly, she turned her head to look at the person who was close at hand, and a pair of angry eyes crashed into her eyes, making her slightly suffocated.

"I just ......" she lowered her eyes to cover the panic in her eyes, her fingers kept stirring the corners of her clothes, and she didn't know what to say, and she stuttered a little for a while.

Takizawa Toru looked at the person in front of him who was obviously unnecessary, but pretended to be calm, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a slightly serious voice: "If you repair the lotus lamp, this king will not blame." ”

She raised her eyes in a daze.

"What, you're trying to deny it?" The person in front of him raised his eyebrows slightly.

"How so? Your Highness laughed! She woke up instantly, she just didn't expect him to be so talkative. smiled, and hurriedly picked up the broken lotus lantern on the ground, and carefully held it in his arms regardless of the dust on it.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist, and her hand with the red ribbon was removed, and the lamp in her arms almost fell to the ground.

A deep voice came into his ears: "You're okay here." The slightly rough fingertips rubbed against her bruised wrist, and the man didn't know what to think in his eyes.

A shudder rose in her hand, and she immediately flinched.

Squeak-

The door to the courtyard, which had been closed, was opened from the inside.
