Chapter Thirty-Three: A Glimpse of the Night
Both were knocked back a step.
Fu Rinxu rubbed her chest that hurt from her and quipped:
"Looking at the autumn lady like a weak willow supporting the wind, I never thought that I had a lot of strength."
Qiu Chuyan covered his head, looked up at the person in front of him, and hurriedly bowed uprightly.
"The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness King Jane."
"Autumn lady doesn't have to be polite. This king sees that you are in such a hurry, but are you looking for someone? ”
"Back to His Royal Highness King Jian, I was separated from Mrs. Zhan just now, and I was about to look for her."
Fu Rinxu looked at the street where the bee tun ants gathered, and said to her:
"There are a lot of fish and dragons here, why don't you find it with this king."
Qiu Chuyan hurriedly waved his hand.
"How does this work?"
"It's okay, anyway, this king has nothing to do."
Fu Rinxu didn't have the shelf of a prince at all, but it made Qiu Chuyan feel like a spring breeze.
"Then there will be His Royal Highness King Laojian."
Ye Yunyu on the other side was also looking for Zhan Nanjing.
She walked forward in confusion, her eyes not letting go of anyone who walked past her.
There were people around, but she only wanted to see Zhan Nanjing.
She looked into the distance.
At a glance, she recognized Zhan Nanjing standing in the center of the crowd.
Zhan Nanjing also saw her at that moment.
The two shuttled through the sea of people and rushed towards each other.
"Nanjing, are you alright?"
Ye Yunyu grabbed Zhan Nanjing's arm and looked up and down, her eyes full of worry had betrayed her heart.
"What do you call me?"
Zhan Nanjing asked in surprise and panic.
Ye Yunyu's hand froze.
"Nothing."
Her eyes wandered, and she withdrew her hand, regaining her dignified demeanor from the front.
"Are you worried about me anymore?"
Zhan Nanjing looked at her eagerly, but he was afraid that her answer was not what he wanted to hear.
"I, I'm just ......"
Ye Yunyu swallowed her saliva, and couldn't say yes or no for a while.
But before she could make a word, her body was tightly hugged by Zhan Nanjing.
"Zhan Nanjing, you are a scholar, how can you be so rude!"
Ye Yunyu suddenly panicked.
Her education from an early age did not allow her to have such intimate physical contact with men.
So she pushed him with her hand.
However, Zhan Nanjing on the other side refused to let go no matter what.
"Yunyu."
Hearing Zhan Nanjing call her name, she stopped what she was doing.
"Zhan Nanjing, you, you let go of me first."
"I'm afraid to let you go, and I won't have a chance to talk to you about this again."
Ye Yunyu put down her hand, her cheeks crimson.
"What do you want to say?"
"Actually, I've been in love with you for a long time. Mountains, rivers and rivers, stars, moons and clouds, are not as good as your smile in my heart. ”
"Yunyu, although I am a scholar, I am not good at words. I wanted to wait until I got my fame before I told you this, but when I saw that you were so nervous, I wanted to tell you right away. ”
"I want my beloved woman to know my heart. I want to know your mind, too. ”
Zhan Nanjing mustered up the courage to tell her all his thoughts, and until he finished speaking, his heartbeat was very violent.
Even the hand holding her trembled slightly.
"It turns out that you have been locking yourself up for the past few days because you want to work hard to gain fame."
"Well, as long as I get famous, I can go to Yefu to ask for relatives in a dignified manner."
Ye Yunyu smiled, it turned out that he had already made a plan.
"Then I'll tell you my mind after you get famous."
"Okay."
Zhan Nanjing answered her without a moment's hesitation.
"How did you say yes so quickly?"
"Whatever you say."
Zhan Nanjing let go of her.
The moment they looked at each other, the magnetic field between them had changed subtly.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
Zhan Nanjing held out his hand to her.
Ye Yunyu didn't hesitate for a moment before putting her hand up.
"Where are we going?"
"Mobei said that there are grand fireworks tonight, and I will take you to a good place to watch the fireworks."
The two held each other's hands tightly and shuttled through the crowd together.
The night is like ink, and the lights are bright.
The darker it gets, the more people people live on the streets.
Fu Xuanlin wandered around alone in a blue indigo robe.
In the past few days, the words have been repeatedly in his mind.
"Zhan Xinglan is Zhan Xinglan, she is not a substitute for anyone."
In Fu Xuanlin's cognition, Cheng Xing died because of his carelessness.
So when Zhan Xinglan appeared, he couldn't help but want to get close to her, and couldn't help but want to be nice to her.
But every time he saw Zhan Xinglan, he would toss and turn, and Zhan Xinglan's appearance often flashed in his mind.
He even wondered several times whether he liked men or women.
But this time, Wen Renzhuo's words woke him up.
Cheng Xing is Cheng Xing, and Zhan Xinglan is Zhan Xinglan.
He didn't protect Cheng Xing at the beginning, and this has always been a knot in his heart.
Now he can only try his best to protect Zhan Xinglan and not let Zhan Xinglan become another regret.
A hint of relief appeared on Fu Xuanlin's cold face.
The streets are bustling with traffic.
Zhan Xinglan searched for a long time but didn't find Qiu Chuyan.
She was anxious, for fear that something would happen to Qiu Chuyan.
However, just as she was about to turn back, Wen Ren saw her less than twenty paces away from her.
He was about to open his mouth to call her, but saw a drunk strong man staggering towards Zhan Xinglan.
"Be careful!"
A strong, powerful arm wrapped its arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.
Zhan Xinglan's waist weakened, and the whole person fell into his arms.
The embrace and the delicate smell of his body were familiar to her.
She didn't even have to look up to know that the person who saved her was Fu Xuanlin.
This guy is always the first to show up when she's in danger.
Fate is a metaphysics, and she can't help but believe it.
Fu Xuanlin looked down at her and quipped:
"Zhan Niangzi is really everywhere."
Although he was unforgiving, he held her hand but didn't mean to let go, just stared at her.
Zhan Xinglan also raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"His Royal Highness King Ling is also very leisurely."
"If this king is not leisurely, won't there be no chance to save Zhan Niangzi?"
"Fortunately, the prince met no other woman, otherwise the prince would have shown mercy everywhere."
The two of you say a word to me, you come and go, and there is a trace of ambiguity in addition to the bickering.
Fu Xuanlin's afterglow suddenly swept to Zhu Huan who was on the side, and let go of Zhan Xinglan stupidly.
As fingertips ran across her hair, the air seemed to be faintly filled with the scent of osmanthus oil on her hair.
Fu Xuanlin said with a straight face: "Zhan Niangzi is so anxious, she is looking for the Qiu family lady, right?" ”
"How does the prince know?"
Zhan Xinglan's eyes immediately lit up.
"This king just saw Qiu Niangzi and King Jian walking side by side, so he guessed that you and Qiu Niangzi came together."
The prince saw that he knew slightly, and the courtiers admired it. Don't know where they are? Please also ask the prince to show the way. ”
Zhan Xinglan waited for him to answer, but he hesitated for a moment.
"On such a good night, why should Mrs. Zhan bother others?"
"Disturb? What does the prince mean, Chu Yan and King Jian? Zhan Xinglan had an expression of eating melons on her face, but after thinking about it, she still felt that it was inappropriate.
"Chu Yan will definitely be anxious when she is separated from me, I still have to go to her."
Then Miss Lao Zhuhuan went to inform Qiu Niangzi, and said that Zhan Niangzi was with this king, so there was no need to worry. Miss Zhuhuan told Wanqiu that Niangzi didn't have to come to Zhan Niangzi, and the king would escort her back to the Ming Mansion. ”
Fu Xuanlin was almost giving an order.
Zhu Huan looked at Zhan Xinglan as if asking for help.
Looking at this posture, King Ling must have something to say to her.
Zhan Xinglan nodded at Zhu Huan, and Zhu Huan left step by step in the direction that Fu Xuanlin pointed out.
"This king remembers that Zhan Niangzi seems to have said that she will thank this king for her generous gifts, I don't know when Zhan Niangzi plans to fulfill it?"
Zhan Xinglan frowned slightly, why does this guy worry about this every day?
Could it be that people in this era don't know what polite words are?
"The prince is about to go to Hebei Province, so it's better to cash in today. What does the prince want, as long as the courtiers can do it, he will try his best to meet it. ”
Fu Xuanlin pondered for a moment and said to her:
"Okay, then there will be a lady from Lao Zhan who will go to a place with this king."
Zhan Xinglan looked at his smile and froze for a moment.
I have to say that he is really good-looking, and when he laughs, he is simply seductive.
If it weren't for Zhan Xinglan's soul that didn't match his age, he would definitely fall into it immediately.
"The courtiers are at the mercy of the prince's arrangement."
The two walked out of the crowd side by side.
Wen Renzhuo, who was only twenty steps away from Zhan Xinglan, was stopped by a group of masked men who jumped out of nowhere.
By the time he broke free, Zhan Xinglan had disappeared.
Wen Renzhuo was immediately angry, after all, he couldn't show up in time to protect Zhan Xinglan like Fu Xuanlin.
Qin Dai looked at his hazy back and smiled with satisfaction.
Tonight, the clouds covered the crescent moon like a barrier.
Although the sun is dim, the capital is as bright as day.
Fu Xuanlin took Zhan Xinglan to Lanxing Tower.
Standing on a high place and looking down on the capital, there is an illusion that time has stood still, only the breeze reminds them that time is rushing.
"What did the prince bring me here for?"
Zhan Xinglan originally thought that he would let her buy some valuables, but if you think about it carefully, he is a prince.
The dormitory of King Ling's Mansion is low-key and luxurious, and he can't buy anything he wants.
"This place can overlook the entire capital, and this king wants to see the prosperity of the capital before leaving the capital, and then see the ......"
Fu Xuanlin didn't finish his words, but just glanced at Zhan Xinglan secretly.
Zhan Xinglan didn't notice his gaze.
She leaned her arms on the lattice and looked down at the brightly lit street.
"Hebei Province is rich and vast, but it is a pity that it has caused today's miserable situation due to overdevelopment."
"Overexploited?"
"Yes, Hebei Province used to be a jungle of trees. Only because of the good geology and high grain production in the local area, the people saw that it was profitable to cut down the jungle and use it to develop good acres. Excessive felling of trees will lead to natural disasters, and to put it bluntly, the world is ignorant. ”
Zhan Xinglan couldn't hide his regret.
She always lamented that the world did not know how to cherish the blessings of God, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"How do you know so many things? But what did Ming Guogong say to you? ”
Fu Xuanlin couldn't help but be surprised, even he didn't expect it, but Zhan Xinglan could tell the root cause of the disaster so casually.
"yes, I accidentally heard it from my father's mouth."
If there are steps, she must hurry down, otherwise she really doesn't know how to explain to Fu Xuanlin that she knows so much.
Suddenly, a huge cluster of fireworks pierced the sky and flew into the night.
Suddenly in the air, countless sparks burst out, flashing dazzling light in the dark night, and finally fell to the world.
The people stopped and looked at the sky.
Zhan Nanjing and Ye Yunyu stood on the city wall, and promised each other the rest of their lives under the witness of fireworks.
Fu Rinxu, who was hanging out side by side, and Qiu Chuyan enjoyed a firework together by mistake.
Wen Ren Zhuo stood in the sea of people, looking up at the sky, but he didn't know that Qin Dai behind him was looking at him.
And Zhan Xinglan, who was thinking about him, was standing on the Lanxing Tower at the moment, pointing at the fireworks and shouting excitedly, "Look! Firework! ”
Fu Xuanlin turned his head to look at her when he heard the sound
Flickering sparks reflected the side of her face.
Seeing her smiling like a flower and shining brightly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Fu Xuanlin turned his head to look at the sky, and clusters of fireworks bloomed brilliantly in his clear eyes.
He stretched out his hand to cover the position of his heart, and said in his heart to the fireworks in the sky:
"Goodbye, Cheng Xing."
He finally made up his mind to let himself go.
But Cheng Xing will always be in the purest place in the depths of his heart.
