At night, the streets of the capital are illuminated transparently by shining lanterns.

Two big red lights are hung at the door of every house, and people come and go on the streets, and all kinds of buying and selling can be seen everywhere.

The city has strengthened its defenses, and Gao Shouwen is constantly patrolling every corner with the army of the patrol battalion today.

The captain of the city gate, Beggar, Yanli, also sent more people to strengthen the scrutiny at each city gate.

On the side of the moat, the entire riverbank is a lantern display, and the people are crowded, laughing and laughing.

I bought a lotus lantern and put it into the river with the wind.

The surface of the river is full of candle-lit lanterns, and many people who put them are making wishes.

Zilan whispered happily beside her, "Second Miss, make a wish." ”

Ying Lin echoed, "Miss, make a wish, I heard that making a wish today is very spiritual." ”

I was depressed, will my wish really come true, but regardless of whether it will come true, I still close my eyes and make a wish.

I silently meditate in my heart: I don't want to be in the next life, I only want to be happy in this life!

Vaguely, I suddenly felt that I had said the same thing in my mind. A clip flashed through my mind, on the shore of the Water Mirror Lake, I was putting a river lantern, closing my eyes and wishing the same.

When I opened my eyes, I instantly understood that it was not me who made a wish on the shore of the Water Mirror Lake in the Hidden Forest Valley.

I was stunned, and lately I always felt that those places that I hadn't been to should have been to what Otokush had done.

Why there is a memory of Etoku, it is still a mystery to this day, I still can't guess.

Looking at the river, I was stunned for a while, and when I turned around, I saw the King of the North Sea and Xie Rin standing a few steps in front of me.

Ji Yu looked at me with soft eyes.

When I saw him, my face flushed and my heart was slightly stunned.

Ying Lin and Zilan hurriedly saluted him.

I didn't see him for a few days, and I was a little excited, but every time I saw him, I didn't know what to say to him.

I always felt like I was very reserved in front of him.

He approached me, stopped in front of me, and whispered to me, "Rong'er has also come out." ”

I suddenly felt a sense of intimacy and smiled at him, "Yes." ”

He smiled gently, looked at me and said, "There are a lot of interesting lanterns ahead, I'll take you to see them." ”

Did he invite me to go for a stroll with him?

I was stunned, and I didn't know whether I agreed or refused for a moment, but I knew that I shouldn't refuse him, he was His Highness. I replied shyly, and the lotus step moved lightly to his smile, and walked with him.

Xie Rin, Ying Lin, and Zilan followed behind, extremely quiet.

As he walked, I walked unhurriedly, thinking about what to say to him.

A crisp and pleasant woman's voice sounded leisurely: "It is an honor for Zheng Minya to meet His Royal Highness the King of Beihai here." ”

I raised my eyes, and a beautiful girl in front of me was looking at Ji Yu with a smile. She has fair skin, willow eyebrows and cherry lips, eyes like autumn water, and affectionate pulses. The body is slender and moving.

The slave on the woman's side saluted respectfully to the King of the North Sea.

Who she is is strange to my head.

Ji Yu said indifferently, "The last time I went down to the court with Zheng Shilang, Zheng Shilang said that he was going to go to the Tai Hospital to find Dr. Jia to go to the house to see Miss Zheng, Miss Zheng is not sick at home, why do you still come out to hang out?" ”

The woman covered her mouth lightly, smiled and said implicitly, "After Imperial Doctor Jia showed Minya, Minya has been taking medicine much better in the past two days, and she only came out for a walk during this festival." ”

She looked at me and wondered, "Who is this young lady?" ”

I smiled faintly, and was about to open my mouth to introduce myself, when Ji Yu grabbed ahead of me and replied to her, "Gao Zhaorong, the second lady of the Gao Hujun Mansion." ”

Zheng Minya looked at me, and the corners of her lips seemed to smile: "Oh, I've heard the name of the sophomore miss a long time ago, and this is the first time I've seen it, but it's really a beauty."

In her praise, I always felt a hint of ridicule, which reminded me of what Zilan said, two years ago, because of the matter with Li Minxin, the city was full of turmoil.

It seems that my name is remembered by many people.

I tugged at the corners of my lips, "Miss Zheng has won the award." ”

Ji Yu seemed to see my strangeness, his eyes darkened, and he blushed at Zheng Minya, "It's hard for Miss Zheng to come out to see the lanterns, so let's take care of it." ”

Zheng Minya didn't have stage fright because of Ji Yu's face, and said with a smile, "Let's go together." ”

Ji Yu said indifferently, "No need." ”

I saw that Zheng Minya's eyes flashed, and she was a little unhappy, but she felt suffocated in her heart.

Ji Yu ignored her anymore, and continued to walk towards her with me before she took a step, and Zheng Minya's voice sounded behind her, "Your Royal Highness, I heard that the emperor wants to let the second high lady enter the palace and make her a concubine, I am afraid that if you are alone with her like this, it will reach the ears of the emperor, and what will the emperor think when the time comes?" ”

I was stunned, and Ji Yu stiffened.

We turned around at the same time, and I could clearly feel that he was shocked by this sentence.

Ji Yu's expression was cold, but he was not panicked by this sentence.

"This king and Miss Senior High School are friends, even if the emperor knows, it's nothing, Miss Zheng is too worried, it doesn't seem that you Zheng Minya need to worry about it."

Seeing Ji Yu's sudden coldness, the tone in her words seemed to mean to blame her for being troublesome, Zheng Minya hurriedly smiled and said, "It's Minya who is too worried, please forgive your Highness." ”

Ji Yu smiled, "It's good to know." ”

Ji Yu ignored her and continued to walk forward with me, but my heart was faintly uneasy.

I didn't explain to Ji Yu why Tuoba Hong wanted to marry me as a concubine, nor did I tell him that I didn't want to enter the palace at all. I was just silent, not knowing what to say.

The three people behind him followed not far away.

In front of a tall boat-shaped lantern, we stopped together.

Ji Yu seemed to have something to say to me, I looked at him in a daze, my eyes met him in the air, I looked at him, he was still elegant and handsome, which was fascinating.

Zheng Minya's performance just now obviously has admiration for Ji Yu.

He is really a man who can make people fall in love at first sight.

"You-" Ji Yu opened his mouth and stopped again.

I bit my lower lip, not knowing what he was trying to say.

Seeing that I was looking at him in a daze, he said again with an unchanged face, "Do you like the imperial brother?" ”

I was embarrassed and embarrassed, how should I answer him when he asked such a question?

Can I not answer, or do I have to answer him?

In just one sentence, I was blindfolded, and I looked at him deeply, as if no one around me existed at this time, only me and him.

The first time I saw him, my heart was ignorant, those feelings were in my heart, I don't know whether I like him or because he is kind to me, and deliberately think he is good.

I haven't figured it out yet.

As for Tuoba Hong, from beginning to end, I just regarded him as a friend, and I didn't touch a trace of love, saying that I liked it and felt that I couldn't talk about it.

Since he asked me so, I couldn't say anything, "I-"

A complicated emotion flashed in my eyes, and I was about to tell him that I didn't like Tuoba Hong, but at this moment, Gongyi actually appeared in front of us, polite to the King of Beihai, and smiled at me, "Miss Senior High, the emperor is invited." ”

Hearing this, I was stunned, and Ji Yu frowned slightly.

Is Tuoba Hong here too?

I looked at Gong Yi suspiciously.

Gong Yi was polite again, "Miss High School, please." Then he said to the king of Beihai, "Your Highness is here, and the emperor invites you to go too." ”

We didn't refuse, and as Gong Yi got into the boat, the boat rowed to the side of the small island in the river, and when we got ashore, we came to the only garden on the island.

The buildings in this garden are leaning against the water's edge, and red lanterns are hung under the eaves of each floor.

Gong Yi led us through the garden and into the building.

I saw that the plaque on the vermilion lacquer door reads - Changle Building

The courtyard where I had just passed was full of guard posts.

Tuoba Hong stood under the eaves of the corridor on the third floor, looking at the river.

Zilan, Yinglin and Xie Rin were left in the courtyard, and Ji Yu and I were taken upstairs by Gongyi.

Seeing us coming, Tuoba Hong smiled and called my name, "Rong'er." ”

Ji Yu bowed, and I also bowed on my knees.

My expression was calm, but I didn't know what Takubahiro had asked us to do.

Tuoba Hong smiled, "I specially asked Gongyi to invite you to come here to see the lanterns." As he spoke, he approached me, and without my consent, he took me by the hand and led me to the railing, looked at the flickering lights on the other side of the river, and said with a smile, "Isn't it better to look at the lanterns here, you can see all the scenery." ”

Ji Yu stiffened there, without a word.

My expression remained unchanged and I smiled faintly, "Yes, this is indeed a good place to see the lanterns." ”

"Rong'er likes it, I came out to accompany you tonight, on this day, I want to spend it with Rong'er."

Tuoba Hong smiled at the corner of his lips and looked at me affectionately.

I don't know what kind of expression Ji Yu will have when he hears this, I want to know, but I don't dare to capture his expression.

I pursed my lips in a daze and smiled at Takubahiro, not showing an expression of whether I liked it or not.

"The emperor has a heart." I'll say it lightly.

Takubahong pulled me to sit down at the table, where there were already a number of fruit refreshments.

When I sat down, Tuoba Hongcai shouted softly to Ji Yu, who was there in Qingsu, "Seventh brother, come here, it's a good time today, come and have a drink with me." ”

Ji Yu didn't say a word, strolled over, and saluted Tuoba Hong, "Brother Emperor Xie." ”

I looked at Ji Yu fixedly, he kept his eyes down, did not look at me, after the slave and maid poured the wine, picked up the cup and said to Tuoba Hong, "Brother courtesy of the emperor." ”

Tuoba Hong seemed to be in a very good mood, and had a drink with Ji Yukai, while I looked at them in a daze.

I didn't drink, I just watched them drink, listened to them casually, and at first they were talking about some political affairs, and I was not interested, and I listened to them intentionally or unintentionally. Until Tuoba Hong said, "When I saw Rong Er that day, the dying appearance made me feel distressed, because I was busy letting the seventh brother bother to take care of it, and I thank the seventh brother here." ”

This sentence hit my nerves, and I stared at my eyes, not quite understanding what Tuoba Hong said.

Ji Yu looked at me, saw my stunned look and Tuoba Hong's serious expression, and after trembling the corners of his mouth, he laughed stunned, "Brother Huang doesn't have to say thank you, what Brother Huang ordered, how can Brother Gao not take care of Miss Gao." ”

I looked at Ji Yu blankly, and I seemed to understand something about his words.

My mind flashed back to the scene of my life and death in the misty forest, and before I fainted, I saw a figure, and I thought back hard, and the blurry picture seemed clear. Before I darkened, the man who was calling me was not Ji Yu, but another face, he was Tuoba Hong.

"You—" I looked at Tuobahong, dumbfounded.

How can it be the emperor, isn't it the king of the North Sea?

So would it be so?

What the hell have I forgotten!

After I fell off a cliff, it was Tuoba Hong who rescued me from the misty forest.
