The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 229
Late at night, Cheng Huai also put on his clothes and got up. Xu Anan was already asleep. He walked outside and was exposed to the cold wind, and his mind became clearer.

Wen Deng was also awake. Seeing Cheng Huai, he was stunned for a moment: "Cousin, haven't you rested yet?"

"Yeah." He responded softly: "If you can't sleep, come out for a walk."

Wen Deng remained silent, then looked at him and said slowly: "Cousin, do you think the people in the Duke's Mansion know where I am?"

"Wen Deng, they are not fools. They may have found out a long time ago. As for why they didn't take you back, we don't know."

Although he already had the answer in his heart, he was still a little sad when he heard Cheng Huai say it: "When can I break this suffocating life."

"You have to ask yourself. If you don't break, you can't stand. Only by breaking can you be reborn."

"No destruction, no establishment..." Wen Deng muttered to himself.

After a moment of silence, he breathed out lightly: "Cousin, did you leave Yangzhou after the Lantern Festival?"

"Well, there's still a lot to deal with."

Wen Deng felt that the Lantern Festival was also the day when they were captured and returned to the Duke's Mansion.

The night was long, and it wasn't just the two of them who had no intention of sleeping.

Wen Luo heard the conversation between the two at the corner. Although he knew he would go back, he didn't expect it to be so soon. It had been almost two months since they escaped.

She calmed down her steps and turned back to her wing. Wen Deng was the only child of the Duke's mansion. No matter how cold she was to him, Mrs. Wen would not kill him.

Wenluo opened her sleeves and looked at her scarred wrists. She was an adopted daughter, and her life was like a piece of grass. After she died, she would still have thousands of medicine men suitable for Wen Deng.

If she goes back this time, she may die.

Regret?

Wenluo looked at the orchid hairpin and slowly inserted it into her black hair.

not regret.

Time flies, and the days in Yangzhou are the happiest time for everyone. They visited Liuye Lake, ate at Sifang Street, and watched the fireworks and acrobatics in Yangzhou. It was very lively from the beginning to the end of the year.

On the Lantern Festival, several people paraded through the streets.

After today, it means that this year is completely over. The Lantern Festival is very lively, with crowds of people and lanterns and colorful decorations. It is easy to get separated if you don't hold them carefully.

The whole Yangzhou was decorated brightly and brightly, and the women and men coming and going were carrying lanterns in their hands. They were going to Liuye Lake to put the lanterns.

It was the first time for Xu Anan to celebrate such a lively festival in ancient times, so she felt strange everywhere she looked. She bought a fox mask, put it on her face, and said with a smile: "Does it look good?"

Cheng Huai also smiled back: "It looks good."

Xu Anan raised his head and looked at the sky. In the dark night, there were Kongming lanterns floating in the sky. The city of Yangzhou was illuminated with bright lights, and the dark water of Liuye Lake was as bright and majestic as the Milky Way in the sky.

There is no curfew today, and people in the city can party all night long.

Xu Anan bought two lanterns at a stall: "Let's go put a lantern and make a wish."

Cheng Huai also nodded. He led her ahead to ensure that the crowd would not crowd her. The two of them arrived at the shore of Liuye Lake.

At this time, the lake was covered with lanterns, which was very bright.

Cheng Huai also wrote on the note with a pen and put it in the lamp. Xu Anan was a little jealous and curious: "What wish did you make?"

"It doesn't work to say it."

Xu Anan pouted dissatisfied: "Buddha said that sincerity will lead to spiritual success. As long as we are sincere, that's all. Show me, or we can exchange."

Cheng Huai was also stunned for a moment. Xu Anan waved the note on her forehead in front of Cheng Huai's eyes. Meeting her expectant eyes, Cheng Huai still refused. He put the lamp in the lake: "From now on, you You'll know." The lantern was pushed away by the waves. Xu Anan sighed deeply, put his own down, and then stood on the shore with his hands clasped and his eyes closed to make a wish.

Cheng Huai also took out the wind chime bracelet he made from his arms, and waved it in front of Xu Anan's eyes when she opened her eyes. The bell rang crisply, and the gold-plated bracelet was very beautiful. The wind chime jade on it was lifelike, as if it were real. Same.

Xu Anan blinked: "Where did this come from?"

Cheng Huai also touched it with his fingertips and said with a smile: "I made it. It's the first time I've made something like this. It's a bit rough and there are some flaws." He paused and handed the wind chime bracelet to her: "This is for you. .”

He held her hand and pushed the wind chime bracelet to Xu An'an Haobai's wrist. She raised her hand in surprise and pointed the bracelet to the lights in the sky: "It's so beautiful."

"As long as you like it."

Xu Anan touched it lovingly: "I will wear it close to my body from now on and protect it well. Cheng Huaiye, does this count as a token of our love?"

Cheng Huai also nodded and said with a smile: "Forget it."

Xu Anan scratched her head in frustration: "Why didn't you tell me earlier so that I could give you something?"

"You've already given it away."

"what?"

Cheng Huai also met Xu Anan's confused gaze. He still had the ugly handkerchief Xu Anan embroidered in his arms, so it could be considered a token of love from her.

Xu Anan wanted to ask again, but Mu Qing appeared very ignorant.

He coughed lightly: "Master... there is a secret report from the emperor's master."

This was the first time Xu Anan heard the word "Emperor Master". Cheng Huai also looked at Mu Qing: "Tell me."

Mu Qing did not hesitate, since it was political affairs anyway, so he said: "The Prince of Xiliang has come to visit Da Qi to express his gratitude to the two countries. Their envoy will arrive in Qi Jing in about ten days."

Ten days was enough for him to go back.

He nodded to show that he understood, and Mu Qing continued: "Master, today is the princess's 16th birthday."

Only then did Cheng Huai realize that he had forgotten his sister's birthday. His expression remained calm: "I will compensate her after I return to Beijing. Is there anything else?"

Mu Qing shook his head and retreated.

Thinking that she would leave to return to Beijing tomorrow, Xu Anan was still a little reluctant to leave Yangzhou. It was indeed a very suitable place to settle down, but she also missed Cheng Qingqiu and Shen Sisi, whom she hadn't seen for several months.

Xu Anan has already begun to think about letting Hu Cairen and Poria cook a full crab feast to celebrate her return.

祁京
The whereabouts of the emperor are unknown. A few days ago, the emperor's master informed the people that the emperor would be back in a while.

The common people slowly let go of their worries and lived the Lantern Festival in peace and contentment.

Cheng Qingqiu sneaked out of the palace alone. No one cared about her anyway. Her brother and sister-in-law didn't care about her at all. They left her alone in the capital and went to Yangzhou.

Cheng Qingqiu felt full of grievance and sadness. Today was still her birthday and no one remembered her birthday. Cheng Qingqiu couldn't help but cry quietly as she thought about it.

Xie Changan looked at her quietly not far away from Cheng Qingqiu. His eyes were a little dim. It had been a long time since they had spoken properly.

In addition to the time when Cheng Huai was also missing, Cheng Qingqiu went crazy looking for them. Every time he came to look for her, Cheng Qingqiu always had various reasons to avoid him.

He didn't know what happened to her.

Are you just starting to hate him?

Today is Cheng Qingqiu's 16th birthday. Xie Changan thought, let's settle the matter today. He will confess to Cheng Qingqiu that he likes her and wants to be her consort. He hopes to have a good answer tonight.
