Chapter 2: First Encounter
Seven thousand years later, Tianyao Kingdom.
"Princess, princess, get up!" the sound of insects kept ringing in his ears, and Bai suddenly rubbed his sleepy eyes, glanced at the black sky outside the window, and closed his eyes again.
"Lingsha, you let this princess sleep for a while, it's still so dark outside, and this princess doesn't have to go to the morning meeting, what are you doing when you get up?"
The woman in the green dress smiled dumbly: "Princess, it's not morning, it's so dark outside because it's already night, didn't the princess forget that tonight is fifteen, and the princess wants to go out to see the lanterns?"
"Lanterns, lanterns!" The person on the bed repeated two sentences, suddenly jumped up from the bed, and suddenly said: "Lingsha, quickly, change the clothes of this princess, this princess wants to go to see the lanterns!
"Yes, Lingsha knows, Lingsha will definitely let the princess take a fancy to this folk lantern!" The woman in green stepped down from the bed, took a fiery red dress from the room, and prepared to change it for Bai Ran.
The woman looked at the fiery red clothes, graceful and luxurious, inlaid with rare treasures, and pouted: "Lingsha, you let this princess wear this set of clothes to go out, do you want this princess to be stolen! You see, this princess is so richly dressed, how can she play on the street?"
"Oh, that's right, but princess, you are a princess, of course you have to dress beautifully when you go out, otherwise it will definitely damage the majesty of the royal family, and if you are like this, the emperor will definitely not allow you to go out!"
"What? You told your father that the princess is going to go out?" Bai suddenly jumped up, stretched out his hand and gave Lingsha who was on standby, a burst of chestnut, "Lingsha, Lingsha, are you stupid, if the princess's exit from the palace is known to her father, then will you still go out?" What this princess said was to run out secretly!"
"No, Lingsha was originally going to say it, but I was afraid that the princess would have another nightmare, so I had to stay by the princess's side, so I didn't have time to tell the emperor. The beaten woman pouted, seeming a little angry.
"Okay, okay, this princess has wronged you!" Bai Ranran, who heard that the news had not yet been leaked, suddenly had a happy face, and clapped his hands like a child, "Lingsha, Lingsha, this princess begs you, go find a set of men's clothes for this princess, this princess will go out alone to see the lanterns!"
"Princess, you can go out, you can't be alone, Lingsha must be with you, otherwise the slave and maid will not worry. The woman in green insisted.
"Okay, okay, just take you with this princess!" Bai suddenly pushed the woman out childishly, "Go, go, it's already time, if you don't go out, it's too late!"
"Alright, alright, princess, the slave will be back as soon as possible. With a bang, the little maid was thrown out.
Lingsha shook her head helplessly, resigned herself to a certain direction, and then disappeared.
No way, who made her princess too fun-loving?
The sky is getting dark, the afterglow of the sunset is dissipating inch by inch, and the streets of the capital begin to appear one by one.
Bai suddenly stood on the roof of the palace, dressed in men's clothes, his hair tied up high with a jade crown, and he was really a beautiful man.
"Princess, let's go, aren't you in a hurry?" urged the rhombus holding Bai Ran's hand.
"Lingsha, do you think that this princess will be scolded by her father like this, a princess dressed like this and secretly ran out with her personal maid. Bai suddenly looked at what he was wearing, and spoke a little weakly.
"Princess, this is indeed wrong, why don't we go back, the lanterns in the palace are also very good!"
"Don't, don't, isn't it okay for this princess to say something wrong?" Bai suddenly smiled and surrendered, "Let's really go quickly, if we pretend to be sick and are discovered by our father, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat!"
The two figures disappeared in a flash, and soon landed on a small street in the middle of the city.
As soon as Bai suddenly landed, she directly began to walk around regardless of it, completely forgetting that there was a sad little maid who followed her behind her.
"Childe, you wait for me!" There were gradually more people on the street when it was close to Xu, but Bai suddenly had no inheritance, but when he was playing, he was very neat, like a small catfish, and disappeared in an instant.
Lingsha was half-pushed and half-let by the flow of people, and she was directly trapped in place, unable to find where the familiar figure went.
After all, Bai Jingran is only twelve years old, it is the time of innocence, and she is the most favored little princess in the palace, carefree, but she has also developed a tricky temperament.
On the Shangyuan Festival, this huge capital is naturally beautiful.
Strings of lanterns, hung in front of each house on the main street, reflect different lights, like pearls, gently fluttering in the breeze, even making the bright moon hanging in the night lose a bit of brilliance.
People come and go on the street, lively and extraordinary, all kinds of snacks, jewelry selling is endless, Bai suddenly walked and jumped, holding two strings of sugar gourds to look at it with great interest.
"Childe, let's buy a wishing lantern!" A pair of hands handed over a delicate red lantern, smiling and blocking Bai Ran's way.
"Auntie, what is this for?" Bai suddenly handed the sugar gourd in his right hand to his left hand, then took the small lantern and looked at it with interest for a long time.
"Childe didn't even know about this wishing river, legend has it that we all need to put a wishing lamp on this Shangyuan Festival and write our wishes on it, and it can come true!" said a middle-aged woman at the stall with a smile.
"So, where is the Wishing River?" Bai suddenly took out the silver taels and handed them to the woman, then picked up the brush on the table with his right hand, and gently wrote a few words on the note of the lamp.
"Childe's words are really beautiful!" the stall owner exclaimed, and then pointed in a direction, "Childe, the place where the most people are located is the place where the Wishing River is located, you can go and put this wishing lamp into the river." ”
"Oh, there are really a lot of people!" Bai suddenly smiled, picked up two strings of sugar gourds with one hand, and headed in that direction with the wishing lamp that had been written in the other.
After walking for about a few hundred steps, Bai suddenly began to see the long Wishing River, although the water was clear, but under the illumination of many lanterns inside, it turned red.
After squeezing in the crowd for a long time, Bai suddenly forcibly opened a road and walked to the river at a turtle speed.
The soil by the river was a little soft, and Bai suddenly squatted down gently, put the wishing lamp in his hand in the water, and then folded his hands and began to make a wish silently.
But just as she was about to stand up, a mad horse suddenly galloped from the street, causing the flow to rise suddenly, and the people around her began to move rapidly, and the earth on the ground was so soft that before Bai suddenly could stand up, he was squeezed straight in the direction of the river.
At that moment, Bai suddenly felt that she should have listened to Lingsha's words earlier, so that she would not fall into the water in embarrassment, and at that moment, she closed her eyes in fear.
However, there was no cold as imagined, no suffocation in the water, only a warm embrace, just like the one every night.
Bai suddenly opened one eye first, wanting to check the situation quietly, but only saw a magnified handsome face, long eyelashes flashing slightly in front of her eyes, but the thin lips seemed to be a little angry.
A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Bai Ran's heart, I don't know if it was heartbeat or fear, a strange feeling, as if this person, she seemed familiar, but this face, she obviously hadn't seen it.
Bai suddenly opened his other eye happily, ready to take a closer look at the person in front of him. However, the next moment, it was a cold questioning voice: "Have you seen enough, hurry down when you have seen enough!"
"Ben Gong...... Childe won't come down!Hmph!" Bai suddenly has been spoiled since he was a child, where has he ever received this kind of tone of speech, and he immediately relied on that warm embrace and spoke angrily.
"Then, you can go down and taste the cold water!" The cold voice fell, and the arm that supported Bai Ran suddenly pulled away.
Bai suddenly looked down and suddenly found that he was standing on the water out of thin air. And she lost her support, and she fell down involuntarily like that, "Hey, hey, this son doesn't want to fall into the river!"
Just as Bai was about to make intimate contact with the water, a force suddenly wrapped around her body and slowly sent her back to the ground by the river.
At the same time, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause.
The man in white clothes glanced at Bai Ran, who was still a little angry just now standing on the ground, his expression was still cold, but there was a slight smile in his eyes, and then he tapped his toes, and the figure suddenly dissipated on the river.
"Wait, you're back!You haven't told me your name yet!" Bai suddenly looked at the back of the man who turned around and disappeared directly, and suddenly shouted.
At that moment, the mad steed was subdued by an armored soldier, and a group of soldiers walked through the surrounding civilians to Bai Shuran's side and bowed his head.
Bai suddenly wanted to sneak away from behind, but Lingsha, who was wearing men's clothes, slowly walked towards Bai suddenly from behind, with a thick anger in his eyes.
"Childe, please!" Ryosha made a respectful gesture.
Bai suddenly looked at this battle, and after all, he shook his head speechlessly, glanced at the one who had no direction anymore, and then slowly followed the rhombus away.
However, why that person was so familiar, it made her heart throb slightly.
Who the hell is he?
