Chapter 121: Mysterious Gift
"Isn't the Ninth Princess curious how I recognized you?" He looked at Lin Xueqi with a smile, and his somewhat romantic smile coincided with the smiling face in Lin Xueqi's memory, making her want to take off his mask like a ghost.
But he grabbed his hand in mid-air, which made Lin Xueqi wake up a little, she retracted her hand in embarrassment, turned her back to him and said, "I don't know you, it's better for this brother to go back." β
"Is the Ninth Princess so desperate to get me to leave?" Loneliness crossed the man's eyes.
"Don't hide it, this princess has a husband."
"I know."
"It's immoral for you to do this."
"It's not immoral."
"I don't think you understand the situation."
"I understand what I'm going to be doing."
"Don't follow me anymore."
"The ninth princess is so ruthless, and she is so bad that this king rushed back thousands of miles but was treated like this."
This voice made Lin Xueqi stunned, she turned around and looked at the man in front of her, that voice, if she heard it correctly, it came from behind her.
Lin Xueqi looked at Mei Chun, hoping that she could explain all this to her.
Why did Mo Xichen's voice suddenly appear?!
Mei Chun shrugged helplessly and diverted the topic, "Miss, Mei Chun will go buy a few more sugar gourds." β
When Lin Xueqi wanted to stop her, she had already run away, "This girl ......" Lin Xueqi muttered quietly, looked at the man in front of her who made her feel familiar, raised her eyebrows, and waited for his next sentence.
"What? The Nine Princesses don't recognize this king? A familiar voice came out of this man's mouth, making Lin Xueqi look very twisted.
Lin Xueqi glanced up and down at the man in front of him, the voice was really exactly the same, and the face under the mask would be exactly the same?
"Take the mask off." Although the lantern tour caused people to come and go, Lin Xueqi wanted to know what the face under the mask looked like.
Hasn't Mo Xichen already gone to the frontier? Why did you come back for this lantern parade? Is it for her?
That's why Mei Chun strongly asked her to participate in the lantern tour, right? It seems that it has been planned for a long time, and everything is ready only to the east wind.
"Are the Nine Princesses sure?" Mo Xichen smiled lowly, he didn't deny that he was the Ninth Prince, but letting him take off his mask in a place where there were so many crowds would inevitably cause panic.
Lin Xueqi hesitated for a while, his eyes glanced at the people around him, and finally waved his hand, "Forget it." β
She originally came here in secret, but she didn't want to be found out that she was the ninth princess, and Mei Chun specially prepared a mask for her.
If Mo Xichen took off her mask, then they would definitely know that Lin Xueqi was around here, and they would suspect her with suspicion, so in order not to attract attention, she felt that she would not take it off.
"Miss, give it, Childe, please eat here." Mei Chun bought three sugar gourds, and Mo Xichen gave them to Lin Xueqi directly.
"I don't have a sweet tooth, so let's give it to your young lady."
Lin Xueqi was not polite, after taking it, he hesitated for a moment, but still gave it back to him, "Help to eat, if you eat it again, it will be the third root, I can't eat so much, I'm also worried that I will have a toothache." β
Mo Xichen looked at Lin Xueqi's flushed little face and smiled lightly, "Okay." He responded, took it from Lin Xueqi's hand, took a bite, and praised it for being delicious.
"I didn't do it, I told the person who sold the sugar gourd." Lin Xueqi pursed her lips, pulled Mei Chun and walked towards the lake.
"But you gave it to me, and I have to say it's delicious." Mo Xichen hurriedly followed, bent down slightly and kissed Lin Xueqi's face, "Dessert with mellow wine, delicious." β
Lin Xueqi stomped her feet angrily and muttered, "Shameless." β
The people passing by on the side of the road and Mei Chun on Lin Xueqi's side were deeply fed a mouthful of golden dog food, one word, sweet!
Mei Chun's inner thoughts: What about her Yixuan?! She also wants to show affection! The masters show their affection every day, and they can't live like this!
"If you don't have a face, how can you marry a beauty like the Nine Princesses?" Mo Xichen bent down to Lin Xueqi's ear to speak.
The words brushed Lin Xueqi's face, and also swept to the bottom of her heart, causing a wave of shock, "Don't be narcissistic, if it weren't for the threat of your palace at that time, my father had no choice but to do it, otherwise do you really think you can marry me?" β
"Then this also shows that this king is married, just by virtue of his family background, and now with both his family background and this face, I have absolute confidence that the ninth princess is not a red apricot out of the wall." Mo Xichen slightly hooked the corners of his lips and looked at Lin Xueqi's eyes with smugness.
Lin Xueqi simply didn't speak to Mo Xichen, took the lotus lantern in his hand, put the other lantern he bought in Mo Xichen's hand, and handed him the lantern in Mei Chun's hand by the way, "Take it, don't lose it." β
Mo Xichen tugged at the corners of his mouth, did he look like the kind of person who would lose things?
Lin Xueqi pulled Mei Chun to the steps by the lake, lit the wick inside with the given matchstick, and watched the lotus lamp become bright, Lin Xueqi pushed the lotus lamp into the lake hard, and Mei Chun also followed Lin Xueqi's example.
So two lotus lanterns appeared in the lake, and at this time, many lotus lanterns floated in all directions one after another, and the scenery was not spectacular.
Lin Xueqi prayed silently in her heart, she didn't know what this lotus lantern could do, maybe it was beautiful, but she hoped that it could inherit her wish.
Watching the lotus lantern drift farther and farther away, Lin Xueqi turned around and left.
When Mei Chun reacted, Lin Xueqi had already walked a long way, and she followed quickly.
"Come and have a look, take a look!" The sound of gongs and drums sounded in Lin Xueqi's ears, Lin Xueqi covered his ears, looked to the side, and saw a middle-aged man holding a gong in his hand, shouting some words in his mouth.
"Those who guess all these riddles correctly will receive a mysterious gift! Don't miss it when you pass by~"
Gift? This word attracted Lin Xueqi's attention, and she squeezed into the crowd and looked at the riddle on it: Seven fairies married one. (Typing an idiom)
Lin Xueqi's eyes rolled, and then snapped his fingers, "The six gods have no master." β
The middle-aged man who was beating gongs and drums to attract guests looked at Lin Xueqi in front of him in surprise, and nodded approvingly, "The girl is so smart, then please take the next question: give a word to the family and make an idiom." β
"Words are not believed." Lin Xueqi didn't even think about it, and directly said the answer, which caused everyone to applaud.
"Thousands of miles together, guess a word." The middle-aged man didn't believe it, this Lin Xueqi could still guess it.
Lin Xueqi thought for a moment, looked at Mo Xichen, and said in his ear, "Do you mind if I say this answer?" β
"I don't mind, just say yes." Mo Xichen shook his head, he thought that this kind of thing would not be difficult for him, but the first few were simple, and he couldn't think of this.
"Okay then." Lin Xueqi nodded, looked at the middle-aged uncle, and shouted, "Mom." β
All the people were sluggish, Mo Xichen and Mei Chun were sluggish, even the middle-aged man who asked the question was sluggish, and in the last half of the day, he remembered that this was the question that Lin Xueqi answered.
"Congratulations, you got it right." The middle-aged man was in the sight of a bunch of people, and handed out the mysterious gift he said.
A plush toy that resembles Mo Xichen.
Lin Xueqi was stunned, she thought about it for a long time, but she never thought that it was such a mysterious gift, it was really unexpected.
Even Mo Xichen himself was stunned, how could this doll be so much like himself?!
"This is something I've treasured for a long time, and it's like no other in the world! If it weren't for this lantern parade, I wouldn't want to take it out as a mystery gift. The middle-aged man argued, "The Nine Princes are my idols, be careful and don't break them." β
Seeing that the doll he had treasured for a long time was about to be given away, he was really reluctant, he thought that no one had answered his riddle correctly, but he didn't want the young girl in front of him to answer it easily.
Lin Xueqi took it from him, looking at the doll that was very similar to Mo Xichen, she smiled happily, it was worth participating in this lantern tour!
There is no real person like Mo Xichen by his side, but at this time, it is also good to have a doll similar to Mo Xichen by his side.
Everyone blessed Lin Xueqi one after another, their eyes were full of envy, the girls wanted to buy this doll from Lin Xueqi, Lin Xueqi didn't sell it, shook his head with a smile, and pointed to the middle-aged uncle, "You go to answer the question, there must be other mysterious gifts." β
A group of people rushed up, so frightened that the middle-aged uncle retreated again and again, "This time charge!" If you want to answer the riddle for thirty dollars, there is a mysterious reward if you hit it right! The middle-aged uncle also simply let it go, and the doll in Lin Xueqi's hand was gone, but there were still other small gifts.
After a while, the middle-aged uncle's hand was a lot of money, Lin Xueqi looked at the middle-aged uncle's extraordinary business, hugged the doll and left.
"Miss can be regarded as helping that uncle make a lot of money." Mei Chun sighed and said, "He should thank Miss." β
"That's it, he gave me this gift, which is the best thanks." Lin Xueqi looked at the doll in his hand and smiled.
Mo Xichen was a little angry, "You don't look at or hug a living real person, looking at that lifeless little doll, I don't know what the Ninth Princess thinks in her head." β
Lin Xueqi looked at Mo Xichen obliquely, with a smile in her eyebrows, "What?" Still jealous of a lifeless little doll? It's such a big person, and it's so naΓ―ve. β
She chuckled, helplessly.
"I'm just naΓ―ve, in order to accompany the Nine Princesses to finish this lantern tour, I rushed back halfway, but I didn't want the Nine Princesses to see me at all, I knew it was like this, why did I come back?" Mo Xichen's tone was a little lonely.
Lin Xueqi chuckled in her heart, "Why do you think so?" Who says I'm upset? It's just that after tonight, you're leaving, and I'm only with this doll. β
The corners of Mo Xichen's lips hooked slightly, "I know that the Ninth Princess will not be so ruthless." β
He cupped Lin Xueqi's face, and regardless of what the occasion was, he dropped a kiss on her lips, and then acted like a nobody, as if the person who did that just now was not him.
Lin Xueqi was ashamed and annoyed, and stuffed the unfinished sugar gourd in her hand directly into his mouth, and said, "Help eat it." β
Mo Xichen saw that this was Lin Xueqi's order, so he naturally didn't dare to refuse, and said while eating: "This is considered an indirect connection. Kissed? β
As soon as this sentence came out, Lin Xueqi was about to snatch it back, but was stopped by Mo Xichen, "If you want to come back at this time, it will be invalid." β
