"Stand here and wait for me!" Murong Xi suddenly let go of her hand, turned around and walked towards the vendor by the river.

Guessing what he wanted to do, Zhuzhu didn't say much, turned back to look at the boat floating on the river, and his heart suddenly calmed down. Just looking at his tall back, remembering the scene he saw in the back garden that day, the picture of him and Zhao Chuyao walking together and talking and laughing came to her mind. Suddenly, a faint sadness swept through the bottom of my heart.

Now they are not deviant, they are good brothers and sisters, why can't they have a good visit to the lantern festival with him now?

"Come here!" As soon as the palm of his hand was warm, the bead was pulled across the river by a crescent-white figure. "In Northern Xinjiang, there is a saying that every boat lit with a candle flame can carry people's thoughts to the other end of the river, thus bringing them to him."

Taking the boat, Yizhu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and smiled faintly: "Unfounded incident, I didn't expect you to believe the imperial brother who does things on weekdays." ”

Murong Xi squatted down beside her, lit the candle in the boat in his hand, and lightly placed it on the river, "Sometimes I would rather believe that these so-called 'groundless', at least there is sustenance, and there is hope in my heart." ”

"What is the hope of the royal brother?" There was no one else around the two of them, and Yuzhu squatted down, staring at the perfect side face of the man next to him, and his heart trembled slightly.

Hooking his lips and smiling, Murong Xi lowered his head and lit a small boat again, and there was no return to the pearl.

"I'll help you light the candle, you just have to look at the paper boat!" With that, Murong Xi gently put the lit paper boat on the river.

The body of the missing pearl shook, staring at the paper boat that was drifting away, and the heart lake was calm.

Slightly hooked his lips, and the bead showed a faint smile, "Thank you, Brother Huang, my heart is much calmer now." ”

The squatting body stiffened slightly when he heard the words, and then let out a clear low laugh, "Yizhu, don't thank you for your brother, as long as you are happy." ”

"Brother ...... Huang" stared at the back of his head, and inexplicably wanted to ask him about Zhao Chuyao, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it, seeing him look back at himself, his handsome face flashed with a touch of complicated emotions, and said: "It's nothing......"

In the end, she still couldn't open her mouth.

Even if the two of them couldn't be together, she couldn't see him with the other women......

It's a really weird feeling......

The pearl raised her eyes and continued to stare at the paper boat that was drifting away, and the flickering candle flame refracted through her eyes, but under a closer look, her eyes were filled with a layer of mist.

After lighting all the paper boats and sending them to the river, Murong Xi stood up and took the hand of the missing pearl, and at this time, the lost pearl struggled slightly.

"I'm just afraid I'll get separated from you." He didn't look back, and a low, cold voice came.

The bead lowered her eyes and pursed her lips silently.

At this moment, Murong Xi took her back to the crowded Shoucheng Street.

"Although there are a lot of people, there will be lanterns parading around the street for a while, I think you must be interested!" He held the bead by his side, and although he lowered his voice with his head down, he could still hear the bead clearly.

"How can you be so sure I'm interested?" Although she likes to be lively, it doesn't mean that she necessarily likes crowded places.

She just likes to watch the fun, not join in the fun.

It's too noisy all around.

"I've been locked up in the palace recently, and I'm suffocating." That's what I brought her out tonight to relax.

"Brother Huang, have you forgotten that I still have the dog cave in the cold palace?" If her father hadn't given her the card, she would have snuck out of the dog's hole.

When Murong Xi heard this, there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Pursing his lips, he didn't say more, and only brought the missing pearl into a chic pavilion with a gorgeous surface.

Along the way, the missing pearl looked around with a little curiosity, there were not many people in this pavilion, and the people who came in and out looked like they were either rich or expensive in terms of clothing. Murong Xi took her straight to the second floor, and looked around with a little restlessness. On the second floor are many pavilion-like elegant squares, with beaded curtains and embroidered curtains, and flickering lamps and candles.

After leading the pearl into a private room, he walked to the window and pushed the oiled paper window open, "This is the best elegant room in the whole city with the best view of the street, and you will see the most beautiful lanterns in the city." ”

Yizhu glanced at him, a lonely man and a widow were in the same room, and her heart was a little panicked.

She was afraid that he would do the same to herself that night......

So even if her father returned the waist card to herself, she would not allow herself to see him again......

However, the two are brother and sister in the end, and even if she doesn't want to see him, they will still meet on another occasion.

Walking up to him, the bead lowered his eyes and stared at the streets of the capital city, a wide street full of black and pressed human heads. The streets are lined with candles with lanterns. The whole street obviously looks so mixed with many people, but it inexplicably reveals a warm atmosphere.

"It's so good, looking down from here, the capital really reflects the beauty that has never been seen before." Yizhu's eyes were still staring at the street, and he let out a sighing sound, and then turned to him, "Brother Huang, the woman who accompanied you to the back garden that day was very beautiful." Could it be the sister-in-law of the lost pearl? ”

The crescent white figure beside him froze obviously, and the faint smile in his black eyes gradually dimmed, and there was no positive response, "Soon, the lantern parade began." Countless lanterns will swim from the West Gate to the East Gate. ”

The pearl looked dignified, and his expression was quite displeased, "I'm suddenly tired, I want to go back!" ”

The man beside him sighed lightly after a long time, "Yizhu, I know that night hurt you a lot, although I didn't mean it, but I ......"

"I'd rather Brother Huang say it was unintentional, not intentional!" The bead pursed her lips, and her eyes were full of sadness.

"But I'm sanity, not in a rush, but in the aftermath...... I ...... "I want you so badly......

He said it.

The jewel was silent, turned away and did not speak, but continued to wait for him to finish.

But he ......

"The lantern festival has begun."

As soon as his words fell, the street downstairs was already boiling. The jewel came back to her senses, and her eyes touched the lantern that was driving towards the bend of another street.

That's not ......

The eyes of the pearl were illuminated by the lights, and I saw more than a dozen people on the street carrying a large and round lantern, and the inner layer of the lantern would even rotate, and different patterns would flash with it.

The heart of the missing pearl trembled slightly, and her eyes locked on the lanterns of different shapes on the street, and she couldn't take her eyes off it for a long time. The entire Shoucheng Street, as if surrounded by firelight, is like a fire dragon scurrying, and the scene is extremely lively. Even in the past, there was no such scene during the holidays.

***********************************************************************

Because the two of them had some disputes, they just went to put the paper boat and sat in the pavilion to watch the lanterns, and they did not participate in the next show, Murong Xi took the missing pearl back to the palace not early. It's just because she doesn't want to live in Prince Ping's mansion.

Anyway, if he didn't send her back to the palace, he didn't know what he would do to her.

For her, Murong Xi felt that she was becoming more and more unable to control her behavior.

Because it was late at night, Murong Xi only sent the missing pearl to the door of the Yuehua Palace, and then Jin Xia came out.

"Princess, you're back!" There was a hint of worry in her delicate voice.

The lost pearl patted the back of her hand, realizing that she didn't need to worry, and turned to Murong Xi behind her: "The lost pearl is Emperor Brother Xie, it's late at night, Brother Huang should be more careful on the way back." ”

After that, he took the palm lamp in Su Chun's hand and handed it to him, "The road ahead is dark, so the imperial brother should go back with this lantern." ”

Looking down at the palm lamp in front of him, Murong Xi took it and looked at her pink face, as if her heart was warmed by this lamp.

Then he turned around and walked out of the Yuehua Palace.

Lost pearl, why do you always give me a ray of warmth when I am depressed to give up on you......

It makes me want to let go more and more......

Murong Xi did not leave the palace, but returned to the Bright Moon Palace. Standing by the window of the dormitory, looking at the faint moonlight, his eyes fell on the bed in the dormitory, looking at the neat bedding on the bed, and the picture of her begging for mercy under her that night suddenly came to mind.

The fists under his sleeves clenched slightly, Murong Xi was slightly focused, turned around and blew out the candles in the dormitory.

……

The moonlight is obscured by dark clouds, and it is rare that the moon is so round tonight, but it is covered by dark clouds.

The bead stepped into the dormitory, covering his chest with his hand!

"Princess, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed!" Jin Xia walked in from outside the house, and her delicate voice pulled herself back from her contemplation.

The bead nodded and walked directly into the screen.

She was tired, but when she thought of the way he treated herself tonight, so cautious, the feeling that she wanted to touch but couldn't touch,

It's just that......

The pearl was gloomy, walked to the west window, pushed the oiled paper window open, and Jinxia happened to be standing in the corridor next to the window looking at the fireworks blooming not far away.

"Look, princess, there's a firework over there!" As soon as he saw the missing pearl, Jin Xia immediately walked to the window excitedly and said to the lost pearl. "What beautiful fireworks!"

Yizhu pursed her lips and said nothing, staring at her with a smile, and asked for a long time, "Does Jinxia miss her family?" ”

Hearing this, Jin Xia's body stiffened obviously, and he looked at the missing pearl in a daze, and his beautiful little face was covered with a layer of sadness, and then he shook his head, "Don't want to?" ”

"But haven't you always wanted to go out of the palace to see your family?"

Jin Xia raised her eyes and looked at a pink and jade face in front of her, and shook her head, "The slave maid entered the palace at the age of six, and she has no impression of her family. ”

At this point, she fell silent.

Yizhu suddenly understood that Jin Xia entered the palace at the age of six, and he hadn't seen his family for so many years, so he was afraid that his feelings for his family had long since faded, and even became blurred. And I can't remember what her family looks like.

So, what about her royal brother? was sent out of the palace at the age of ten, so for many years, did he have no feelings for his father and the queen?

Why......

Most of the time she saw his loneliness in his eyes......

That's why I want to get close to him, give him warmth, and make him no longer lonely. But I didn't want him to misunderstand, and I had a different kind of feelings for myself......

She thought that if that Zhao Chuyao could be with him, it would be the best ending!

"Have you ever thought about leaving the palace after the age of twenty-five?" The bead twisted his eyebrows and looked out the window at the fireworks. As you can imagine, the fireworks set off outside the palace can be seen inside the palace, and the capital must be very lively now.

"Slave maid ......" Jin Xia paused, and said hesitantly: "Actually, the slave maid wants to do it but doesn't want to." ”

"Let me guess, you want to leave the palace because you are curious about the world outside the palace, and you also want to know the whereabouts of your family, why don't you write to you anymore, don't want to be related. Do you want to stay with Hongu? ”

The little hand trembled slightly, the night sky not far away, the fireworks were in full bloom, a spark bloomed in the inky night, and then gradually faded away, she did not look back at the fireworks, but held the small hand of the missing pearl, "Princess, you still know the mind of the slave best." ”

Yizhu showed a faint smile, after so many years of getting along, she never regarded Jinxia and Suchun as slaves, but as her relatives. Because they spend far more time with themselves than their father and those royal sisters.
