Although it was already dark, the lights in the courtyard outside reflected the snow on the roof, and it was so bright.

Under the corridor of the palace, Jin Yu, who was wearing a snow-colored snow fox fur and red cloak, pulled Cang Rin, who was wearing a dark color, and walked to the side hall.

Cang Rin looked at the figure who had been holding his hand tightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising because of Jin Yu's words about the person he liked. He didn't quite understand where the joy in his heart came from, only that the weight of gold and jade in his heart was heavier day by day.

Outside the door of the side hall, snowflakes began to fall intermittently in the air again. The two attendants guarding the door of the side hall saw Jin Yu pulling Cang Rin over, and hurriedly knelt down to greet the two.

Jin Yu waved his hand to make them retreat, turned to Cang Rin's voice and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, close your eyes and count to ...... Fifteen, you push open the door again! ”

"Okay."

The moment Cang Rin closed his eyes, he felt the little hand in his palm leave, and when he heard the door open, he silently began to count.

One, two, three......

He listened to several footsteps pouring out of the room, and in the end it seemed that Jin Yu was the only one left in the room.

8.9......

What kind of surprise will she give herself?

11.12......

Or is it frightened?

XIV, XV.

When Cang Rin opened his eyes and couldn't see the red in front of him, his excited heart slowly calmed down, and the cold wind behind him blew on his back, as if pushing him to open the door.

When you open the door, you will be greeted by a variety of colorful and strange lanterns, which are hung all over the hall. In addition to various lanterns, there are also "stars" flying down from the sky.

Cang Rin stretched out his hand, and a firefly landed in his palm, and then flew away.

Cang Rin's eyes followed the firefly that flew away, and he saw a figure in the lamplight, but he wasn't sure if that person was Jin Yu.

It's a strange idea, obviously there are only two of them left in this hall.

"Cats?"

Cang Rin walked around the lanterns in the hall and walked to the figure, and found that it was really just a lantern that looked a little like a person.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but someone suddenly slapped him on the back.

"Your Majesty~"

A jade hand rested on Cang Rin's shoulder, and Cang Rin turned around sharply to see a man wearing a demon mask standing behind him and making a movement of teeth and claws!

"I'm a big badass, a big bad guy who eats people's hearts!"

Cang Rin took off the mask on Jin Yu's face, revealing her delicate and touching little face.

Jin Yu looked at Cang Rin's rare stunned expression and smiled proudly: "I'm scared!" ”

"I don't like it when you wear a mask." It made him feel that the person in front of him was so far away from him, as if he had never known her.

"But how funny, the first time I met His Majesty, His Majesty was wearing a mask!"

"That's different." Cang Rin casually threw the mask on Jin Yu's face to the ground and held her hand in the palm of his hand.

"Okay." Jin Yu didn't want to dwell on the difference, she looked at her hard work for many days, and was not very satisfied with Cang Rin's reaction, "Your Majesty, do you think the lanterns I made are not good-looking?" ”

Cang Rin looked at the lanterns around them, but couldn't see what they were, and smiled, "No, it's unique." ”

"It's just not pretty!" Jin Yu looked at the firefly that landed on his arm and said, "It's not that the cat is very busy and not very happy, so I want Your Majesty to take a look at the lantern festival in the cat's hometown." ”

"You like lanterns?"

Jin Yu nodded, "Well, you can guess the lantern riddles, you can go to the lantern race, and you can also write your wish on the lotus lantern and put it in the river, praying that the river god can fulfill your wish." ”

Speaking of this, Jin Yu's tone was low, "But since I entered the palace, I have rarely seen lanterns." ”

"Why bother to ask the river god to fulfill your wishes, your wishes can be fulfilled alone."

"Really?" Jin Yu looked at Cang Rin with two bright eyes and asked.

"Hmm."

……

Cang Rin thought about a lot of what Jin Yu would ask of her, but she never thought that her request would be so simple.

Look at the lanterns.

The Lantern Festival, which was originally delayed due to heavy snowfall, was re-held under the order of Cang Rin.

And on the evening of the re-hosting of the Lantern Festival, Jin Yu and Cang Rin secretly went out of the palace after dressing up.

When the two came out, the sky was still slightly bright, and the Lantern Festival would not officially start until after dark, so the two of them randomly found a restaurant and ordered a table of dishes.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two are like newlyweds, young couples who sneaked out to play during the Lantern Festival, but their appearance was too prominent.

Jin Yu and Cang Rin sat by the window, Jin Yu looked at the wine on the table and was about to move again, Cang Rin looked at her greedy glass, and couldn't help but think of her previous drunken appearance, and only poured her half a glass with a smile.

After being with her, the smile on his face became more and more.

"Have you heard?"

"What?"

"It's a rumor about why it snowed for seven days in a row!"

"Who hasn't heard of it, it is said that it is to punish His Majesty for killing too much, so it has been down for seven days!" The person who spoke subconsciously lowered his voice, but the people sitting near him could still hear it clearly.

Unfortunately, Cang Rin and Jin Yu sat next to them.

"But also, it is estimated that there is no one in the world who is as keen as our Majesty to conquer the Quartet and expand the territory. Otherwise, our Great Zhou would not be called the Heavenly Empire by the small country of Zhou State now! ”

"It's still the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, our majesty can only fight, and he doesn't know anything about anything else!" The man may be too angry, or maybe he drank too much and didn't pay attention to the volume, so he couldn't help but speak louder.

Jin Yu heard that he was disrespectful to Cang Rin, and angrily put down the cup in his hand and was about to reason with him, but before he could get up, Cang Rin held her hand and shook his head at her.

He also wanted to hear what they said about themselves among the people, and how many people would believe the outrageous rumors that were circulating.

Jin Yu had no choice but to sit down again, pick up the wine glass and pour all the rest of the wine into his stomach.

"Be quiet!" The companion beside the man looked around vigilantly and said, how can such a rebellious word be said in such a large public!

"Originally, although my Liang family is not a big family, it is also a little famous in Da Zhou. Why should the wealth accumulated over generations be liquidated because of a reform decree of His Majesty! ”

"Huh! The frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know what to call it! ”

An undisguised sneer rang out as the man finished speaking.
