17. Lantern Festival 1
At this time, Lixia jumped up to Chu Xingli again and said, "Miss, what are you thinking?" ”
Chu Xingli immediately came back to his senses, raised his head, looked at Qian Lixia's ignorant face and said, "Oh, it's nothing, aren't you going out, let's go." When Lixia heard "I want to go out", he immediately got up and followed Chu Xingli out.
Chu Xingli walked on the crowded street, thinking about Xiao Hanji's question. Lixia was strolling around, looking at this for a while, and buying and selling that for a while.
At this time, Chu Xingli suddenly stopped, and Lixia was looking at other places, not knowing that Chu Xingli had stopped, and accidentally bumped into Chu Xingli.
Chu Xingli didn't care so much, just looked ahead.
There was an old lady in front of her who fell to the ground, and the person who helped her was Xiao Jingsa. Chu Xingli felt incredible, she used to think that Xiao Jingsa was a person who didn't care about the life and death of others, but she didn't expect him to help an old lady who fell to the ground.
Lixia saw it, ate the chestnut in his mouth, and said curiously: "Miss, isn't that the eldest prince?" Shall we go over and say hello? ”
Chu Xingli stared at the scene in front of him and let out a cold "um".
Yin Nan, who was not far away, was very surprised, so he asked, "Lord Wang, what are you doing here?" ”
After Xiao Jingsa helped the old lady up, he gave her a little money, and said very gently: "Take this money well, go buy something delicious." ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Xingli appeared in front of them, and Yin Nan instantly understood Xiao Jingsa's intentions.
Chu Xingli said: "I didn't expect that the great prince, who usually has a lot of opportunities, also has time to come here. ”
"Yes! It's really busy. It's rare to be free today, and I can meet Miss Chu here. I don't know, this king is fortunate to invite Miss Chu to play together? Xiao Jingsa said.
Chu Xingli thought: Forget it, for the sake of you just helping the old lady, I will reluctantly play with you for a while.
Xiao Jingsa saw that Chu Xingli agreed, so he smiled and said, "Please." ”
The two of them walked ahead, but they had nothing in common to talk about. But Chu Xingli kept thinking in his heart: Should I ask him or not. If you ask, will there be anything wrong?
Xiao Jingsa also seemed to see that she had something in her heart, so she stopped, looked at Chu Xingli and said, "Miss Chu doesn't seem to be in a good mood, but what's the matter?" ”
Chu Xingli stopped with Xiao Jingsa's footsteps, she thought about it, and said a little embarrassedly, "Hmm...... There is indeed something that puzzles me, but I don't know how to ask, I'm afraid ......"
Xiao Jingsa didn't listen to Chu Xingli's words, so he smiled and said, "What's so bad about this." Tell me what it is that can confuse our talented women. ”
Chu Xingli pursed her lips and said, "Hmm...... That is, you could have saved the three princes at the last banquet, why didn't you save them? He's your brother. ”
Xiao Jingsa was a little shocked when he heard this, but he still suppressed his surprise, and said to Chu Xingli calmly and a little sadly: "Miss Chu may not know something, my third brother and I are not brothers. Although on the surface I called the Queen Mother the Queen Mother, in fact my own mother had long since died, and the Queen saw that I was pitiful, so she took me as her son. For so many years, the queen has been very good to me, and my third brother and I are like brothers. Therefore, it was not that I didn't save my third brother that day, but that my leg was injured a little when I arrested Wang Tianzhuo a few days ago, and it has not healed so far. ”
When Chu Xingli heard this, he believed him very much, and sympathized with him, so he said, "Then, how is your leg now?" ”
"Much better." Xiao Jingsa replied.
When Chu Xingli heard this, he continued to walk, thinking in his heart: I didn't expect him to be so pitiful. Could it really be that I misunderstood him? Looking at the way he helped the old lady, it didn't look like he was pretending.
Xiao Jingsa saw him walking, so he also followed her.
"I told you a long time ago, don't have any prejudice against any candidate, and treat everyone equally, otherwise it will be difficult to choose. Now it's okay, it's confused. Makino said to blame her a little.
"I know, I'm just trying to figure it out." Chu Xingli explained.
"And what about you now?" Makino asked.
"Now...... Well...... I haven't figured it out yet. Let's take it one step at a time. Chu Xingli said.
Chu Xingli and Makino were communicating attentively, and she didn't notice that there were two people in front of her walking on a wooden stick about 30 centimeters high.
The two walked side by side in large robes of different colors. One of them almost bumped into Chu Xingli, but fortunately, Xiao Jingsa grabbed her wrist and hugged her into his arms.
Chu Xingli's eyes widened, and Xiao Jingsa seemed to fall in love with her at first sight. He looked at her, the first time he had seen her so closely, and for the first time he had a heartbeat.
"Ah......" Makino shouted, and continued, "The feeling of heartbeat! ”
When Chu Xingli heard Mu Ye's voice, she immediately came back to her senses, she pushed Xiao Jingsa away, and Xiao Jingsa was at a loss for a while.
Chu Xingli immediately said to Xiao Jingsa: "Thank you!" Xiao Jingsa could only come back to his senses and say, "It's okay, it should be." ”
Chu Xingli felt very embarrassed, so he lowered his head and turned to leave. Xiao Jingsa followed with a happy heart.
Just a few steps away, Yin Nan walked quickly next to Xiao Jingsa and nodded to him, Xiao Jingsa quickly understood what he meant.
Xiao Jingsa turned to Chu Xingli and said, "Miss Chu, let's go over there and have a look." He pointed to the bridge not far away. Chu Xingli couldn't refute his face, so he agreed.
When they came to the bridge, Chu Xingli looked at the Kong Ming lanterns flying in the sky, and the lanterns carrying people's good wishes under the bridge. Looking at these, Chu Xingli's mood was much better. The embarrassment just now seemed to turn into smoke and fly away. Xiao Jingsa looked at her bright smile, and also showed his long-lost smile.
Chu Xingli saw him laughing, so he said, "It turns out that you can laugh too!" You look good when you laugh, so you have to smile more in the future. ”
Xiao Jingsa looked at her and teased: "As long as you are here, this king will always laugh, and only smile at you alone." ”
Chu Xingli understood what he meant, and knew that he was teasing himself, so he just smiled.
Xiao Jingsa looked at the bright lantern below, and said to Chu Xingli: "I heard that this lantern can float to the gods, and if the gods know it, they will help that person realize his wish." I wonder if Miss Chu is willing to go with this king to put this lantern together? ”
Chu Xingli thought about it, then nodded and agreed.
They went under the bridge and bought two lanterns from a small vendor nearby.
The vendor owner said kindly, "Miss, write your wish on a piece of paper and put it in a lantern, and the gods will help you make it happen." ”
Chu Xingli listened to the stall owner's words and did so. She picked up the brush with one hand and blocked the view of others with the other, and began to write her wishes.
Xiao Jingsa and the vendor owner couldn't help but laugh when they saw her like this.
Chu Xingli wrote on the paper: May I find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible and return to my time and space.
The crooked words were really embarrassing to show others, but she herself was immersed in wishes. After she finished writing, she admired one by herself, and quickly folded it and put it in the lantern.
She was holding a lantern and smiling.
