Chapter 203: River Lantern
"So, Tang Tang is unwilling to spend the king's money?"
"Hmm." Ruan Tang's eyes were still below, and he didn't listen to Chu Mu very carefully, so he answered a little perfunctory.
But as soon as Chu Mu heard her say this, his originally heavy eyebrows and eyes, and the light inside also dimmed.
He couldn't understand that if other women had so much money, where would they be willing to work hard to earn money outside?
She is the only one who loves money very much, but she doesn't want to spend his money.
So, she still doesn't want to be with herself?
The excitement that was born because of her initiative today has also disappeared at this moment.
The guests below began to leave one after another, and Ruan Tang also looked back.
Only to find that Chu Mu frowned, as if he was depressed and couldn't stretch.
And the wine in the glass in front of him was also drunk by him.
Ruan Tang wrung his eyebrows, picked up the wine jug on the side, and sure enough, the wine in it was gone.
Usually she rarely sees Chu Mu drinking, even if it is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, or the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet a few days ago, he is a shallow taste, and he will never be greedy for a cup.
He is very self-disciplined in this point, and it is also something she admires about him.
But at this moment, a pot of wine has bottomed out.
"Your Highness, why are you greedy?"
Chu Mu raised his eyes and looked at her with resentment in his eyes, as if there were all kinds of grievances in his eyes.
Ruan Tang was suddenly a little weak when she looked at him like this, but for a while, she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him?
Obviously he was in a good mood today, why did he suddenly ......
"Ruan Tang, this king will ask you, until now, have you not thought about being with this king? Didn't think about staying with this king? ”
Ruan Tang was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer him.
Before today, she really hadn't thought about it.
What she had been thinking about was that as soon as their contract expired, she was going to go back to the northwest with Tana.
It's been a while since Tana's parents were killed, and there are still no clues, so she plans to go back with Tana to see if she can find a clue.
But today, she suddenly found that she didn't seem to be the same to him as before, and she even had the urge to stay at a certain moment.
But it was fleeting, and she wasn't sure if it was really what she was thinking, so she really couldn't answer him now.
Chu Mu saw that she didn't answer for a long time, and lowered his eyes in disappointment.
After a long time, he got up, walked up to her, and took her hand, "Let's go." ”
Ruan Tang nodded obediently, and didn't dare to say anything more.
She knew she had broken his heart, but she didn't know what to do.
You can't coax her because he is like this, that she wants to be with him and wants to stay with him.
What if you change your mind later?
Wouldn't he be even more sad.
From the private room to the Tianxiang Building, Ruan Tang followed him quietly, and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that it would make him unhappy again.
And Ruan Tang also thought that tonight's trip was going to end here.
The two of them originally said that they were good, and they went to the street after dinner, but now it is estimated that Chu Mu is not in the mood to go shopping.
Yes, she thought she would get into the carriage and go back after leaving Tianxianglou.
But when she got to the side of the carriage, Chu Mu didn't go up, but pulled her to the street where there were not many people.
After walking for a while, Ruan Tang couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, where are we going?" ”
"Didn't you say you'd eat and go shopping over there?"
The corners of Ruan Tang's mouth curved, and the hand he was holding couldn't help but gently hold him back, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Chu Mu glanced back at her, his eyes full of helplessness.
He was depressed, but he was still reluctant to let her be lost.
He was now being manipulated by her.
The two soon came to a river, and although it was not early, there were still many people here.
There are those who are boating in the river and drinking and having fun, and there are also those who enjoy the scenery and chant poetry on the bridge.
Some of the more daring men and women will walk hand in hand, just like them.
The two walked for a while, and when they saw someone putting river lanterns by the river, Ruan Tang suddenly thought of Chunhan and Xia Zhu.
I heard Chunhan say before that putting a river lantern can bring her thoughts to her dead relatives.
Although he knew that it was a bit nonsense, at this moment, Ruan Tang wanted to do it.
"Your Highness, shall we also go and put the river lanterns?"
"Okay."
Chu Mu responded and took her to a small stall selling river lanterns.
As soon as the stall owner saw them approaching, he began to babble about them.
Ruan Tang listened to his introduction and picked out two, then raised his head and asked Chu Mu, "Do you want to have one too?" ”
"I see that the son and the wife are in love, and the son will also pick one, and write down the blessings and put them on it to bless the two of them with a long love and grow old together."
Although Ruan Tang knew that the stall owner was just talking nonsense, he was here, and it didn't hurt to put a lamp, so there should be one more person to pray for Chunhan and Xia Zhu, so that they could have a good birth in the next life.
It is best to throw yourself into a family with loving parents and a privileged family.
However, Chu Mu was very useful to the stall owner's words, and directly bought all the river lanterns on the stall in one go.
There are more than 100 lights.
Ruan Tang had already seen Chu Mu's wealth and wealth, and he didn't persuade him.
Because he knows that he cannot be persuaded.
The stall owner was overjoyed, and with a smile he helped them to carry the lantern to the river.
Chu Mu and Ruan Tang were at the stall, writing blessings with the pen and paper given to them by the stall owner, and then took them and walked to the river.
Ruan Tang wrote all his wishes for Chun Han and Xia Zhu, while Chu Mu wrote his hopes for the relationship between the two.
After the river lanterns were all put into the river and watched them drift farther and farther away with the direction of the river, Ruan Tang couldn't help but fold his hands, close his eyes, and pray silently again in his heart.
Chu Mu stood beside her, looking sideways at her pretty face, thoughts rushing in his heart.
He had seen all the notes she had written, and none of them were about him.
Although he knew that this was the result, the tip of his heart still felt like he had been pricked by a needle, and it hurt a lot.
After putting off the river lanterns, the two went to the bridge for a while, and only then did they get into the carriage when the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.
The carriage stopped at Ruan Tang's courtyard, and Ruan Tang was a little surprised.
Tonight's Chu Mu, after coming out of Tianxiang Tower, was not very interested.
Although he did his best to keep smiling and didn't put on a face for her, she knew that he was not happy.
She thought that he would definitely take her back to the palace tonight.
She also thought that if she coaxed him tonight, he would have fun, and he would naturally forget about those unpleasant things.
But he didn't want to, so he sent himself back to her other house.
Chu Mu got out of the carriage first, and then gentlemanly reached out to help her down.
The two got out of the carriage and stood facing each other for a while before Ruan Tang said, "Then I'm going in, do you want Your Highness to ......?"
Ruan Tang wanted to ask him if he wanted to go in and sit? Or take a break tonight?
But before he could ask, he was hugged into Chu Mu's arms.
He hugged her very tightly, but Ruan Tang didn't struggle, let him.
His own hands were also placed on his waist.
Chu Mu buried his head in the socket of her neck, and after a long time, he said softly, "Ruan Tang, what should I do with you?" ”
Ruan Tang couldn't answer him, so the hand on his waist had to be tightened.
But in the next second, Chu Mu let go of her, then turned around and got into the carriage.
Ruan Tang looked at the departing carriage and was stunned for a moment before turning around and walking towards the courtyard.
As soon as she entered the yard, a breeze blew, Ruan Tang suddenly felt a little cool on her neck, and she subconsciously raised her hand to touch it.
When her hand touched a drop of cold water on her neck, she froze......
