Mu Yan recuperated in Shen Yan's palace for a few days, during which he was taken care of by good students, looking at Shen Yan's eyebrows and eyes smiling at him all day long, his heart was actually warm. She never mentioned what happened after she fell into a coma that day, and she didn't even want to ask Shen Li anymore about whether she had been suspended.

But she knew. Although she was resolute that day, when it came to divorce her wife, how could she get her wish by unilaterally talking about it? It was not that Shen Li had affection for her, but from his standpoint, even if he was dissatisfied with the marriage given by His Majesty, no matter how stiff they were with each other, they still had to be entangled to the death and could not let go.

This is the so-called life! Her Muyan's life, his Shenli's life. And...... Shen Yan's life.

"Muyan, it's the Lantern Festival in a few days, can I take you out to play?"

I don't know when, Shen Yan has come to her side, smiling as usual. She relieved herself and smiled back, "What kind of festival is the Lantern Festival?"

Shen Yan was slightly stunned, with a blank expression. After that, he suddenly reached out to Mu Yan's forehead, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Mu Yan, didn't you have a fever a few days ago, and people were stupid, right? You don't even know about the Lantern Festival?"

slapped the hand on his forehead angrily, Mu Yan pursed his lips, and then remembered his identity.

"Of course I do! Am I not kidding you? Why? Isn't it funny?"

“......”

Shen Yan was speechless, wanting to save some face for someone, but he really couldn't laugh, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth, with an expression of crying and laughing.

Mu Yan was amused by him, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just go out with you." Speaking of which, since I married Shen Li, I haven't been out of the house. ”

The name Shen Li was said almost unconsciously. So after saying this, both of them had a moment of silence. In the past few days, Mu Yan has deliberately avoided this name, and Shen Yan doesn't want to mention it. But at this moment, he suddenly spoke, and the two of them had to face it.

"Mu Yan. ”

"Huh?"

"Actually, the third brother sent someone to inquire about your situation. But I blasted it away. ”

"Hmm. ”

Shen Yan cautiously watched Mu Yan's expression, trying to see a hint from her face. But Mu Yan's expression was still the same, and when he spoke, there was no abnormal state.

"Don't you blame me?"

Mu Yan looked up at him, and the handsome young man in front of him was as beautiful as the first time they met. During the time she was unconscious, although she was unconscious, she also knew who was taking care of her, who was clumsily feeding her medicine, holding her hand and whispering in her ear.

She hadn't thought about it before, no, to be exact, she didn't want to think about it, because she didn't think it was necessary. Shen Yan's liking for her came a little suddenly and inexplicably, but she didn't doubt his sincerity. This young man's eyes are clear and pure, and what he says is like it, and it is not without any other reason.

But Shen Yan is the seventh prince and the younger brother of her husband. Even if the other party really likes her, what can she do? Not to mention that in this dynasty, even in her century, it is an extremely ridiculous thing for a younger brother to like an elder brother's woman. Therefore, it is reasonable for her to be reasonable, even if she is estranged from Shen Li, she will definitely not accept Shen Yan. She wants to live a stable life, so it is best to keep to herself, not think too much, and not change.

But now, she looked at the smiling young man in front of her, and suddenly had inexplicable courage in her heart. For the first time, she seriously thought about it, if she was really with him, would she be happier?

"Mu Yan?"

Shen Yan saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, so he couldn't help but call her, Mu Yan interrupted his thoughts and shook his head, "Why blame you? If you hadn't rescued me, I might have died in my own small courtyard right now." ”

"No, it won't. Shen Yan frowned, wanting to say something, but after a pause, he didn't say a word.

Three days later, the Lantern Festival. In the chat with the maid, Mu Yan finally knew what this festival was for.

It turns out that there is such a legend in the ancient customs of Mingguo. There was once a fairy who lived in the sea because he was greedy for fun, so he transformed into a human form and secretly went ashore to play. When he was accidentally caught by a gangster and wanted to commit misdeeds, he was rescued by a man. Later, the fairy fell in love with the man, but her father, the emperor, objected to them being together and sent someone to take the fairy back to the sea.

After the fairy returned, he washed his face with tears every day, and his expression was sad. And the human man sat on the seashore every day, waiting for the fairy to appear. Finally, their persistence softened the sea god's heart. He made a condition that the fairy and the other fish, shrimp and crab spirits in the sea should wear a mask, and let the man find his sweetheart among the many women wearing masks. And the chance, only once.

The man agreed, so he was taken to the Dragon Palace, and among the rows of women with the same mask and about the same size, he took off the mask of one of them. And that person is really the fairy! The sea god promised to marry his daughter to the man according to his promise, and then they were happily together.

This bloody story has been passed down from generation to generation, and now it has evolved into a festival. Legend has it that on the night of the Lantern Festival, everyone who goes out on the streets wears a mask. As long as someone takes off your mask, or you take off someone else's mask, then this person is your destined person. After that, go to the river together and put the wishing lanterns, then you can get the blessing of the sea god.

When Mu Yan woke up early in the morning, he saw the strange mask on the table. Seeing that it was going to be night, Shen Yan would come over to pick her up and go to the street later. She smiled and gently pushed away a maid who was about to apply rouge to her. Under the puzzled eyes of the other party, he smiled and put on a mask.

"Look, my whole face is covered, do I still need to dress up?"

The maid was amused by her, put down the rouge, combed her hair again, and straightened her clothes. Only then did he nod with satisfaction, and waited for Shen Yan's arrival with Mu Yan.

At night, Shen Yan came to pick up Mu Yan, and when he saw her little face that had been masked, he couldn't help but smile and put it on himself.

"Shen Yan, in order to prevent you from cheating, I have to choose a mask to change into when I go to the street later, otherwise you will recognize me at once, it will be too unchallenging!"

Mu Yan said such a sentence coldly, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.

"Okay, you'll buy whatever you like later. Don't worry, even if you change your mask, I will still recognize you!"

Mu Yan shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Shen Yanle was happy, and walked out with her in a good mood. When the maids saw the two of them leaving side by side, they couldn't help but bless them in their hearts. I hope that with this Lantern Festival, we can let real destined people be together!
