concubines are respected

Chapter 149

Suxian looks back in surprise, who is not the person she met in her dreams?
"You...you're back?" Suxian tried her best to keep calm, and asked calmly on purpose.

"I've been traveling all night for the past few days, and finally I'm back." Murong Haotian smiled brightly, his starry eyes staring at Suxian. It's been more than a year since he was separated. Although he is outside Beijing, his heart is always thinking about the beautiful woman in front of him. Now that this person is right in front of his eyes, Murong Haotian actually felt unreal, and subconsciously raised his hand to caress Su Slim's thin shoulder, and murmured, "Did you live a safe year this year?"

Suxian took a step back in embarrassment, avoiding the other party's fiery gaze, and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Suxian is fine."

Murong Haotian stretched out his hand to caress the empty space, retracted his arm embarrassingly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, could it be that a year had changed her mind, could it be that the act of patrolling the whole country with the crown prince caused him to be separated from the person in front of him? As they drifted away, the momentary disappointment disappeared, Murong Haotian shook his head lightly, put away the anxiety from his heart, raised the lantern in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Do you still like it?"

"I like it, Suxian thanked Lord Hou." Suxian responded with a polite smile, took the lantern from Murong Haotian, gave him a little blessing, and then walked towards the direction where Yanzi bought the lantern.

At this moment, hearty laughter came from behind, "Miss Lin also came to light the lamp. How about meeting by chance instead of taking a swim?" Immediately, a man dressed in a brocade gown trimmed with embroidered gold silk, full of dignity Tian Cheng's man strode forward.

"Suxian has met the third prince." Suxian was slightly startled, and immediately changed her words, "Oh no... Suxian's words were inappropriate, Suxian has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh, that's all. You don't need to be so polite, I just pretend to go out alone, Miss Lin just needs to call the third young master." The prince smiled loudly, waved his big hand boldly, and said to Su Xian, then turned sideways and whispered to Murong Haotian He said, "Brother Haotian, Gu Shi couldn't find you several times, but he thought you were bored, so he went back home first. I don't want you to not only find such a dazzling lantern, but also find the beautiful woman holding the lantern, haha! "

Murong Haotian smiled uncomfortably, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Third Young Master was joking, Haotian and Suxian just met by chance, if you are interested, how about playing together?"

"Naturally, naturally." This remark hit the prince's heart, and the laughter immediately became even louder.

Suxian originally wanted to go out quietly with Yanzi, but she didn't want to, but met Murong Haotian and the prince who was traveling in casual clothes, and the two were so kind, it was really inconvenient to shirk, so she had to reluctantly agree with a smile.

"Second miss, this servant has picked two of the most beautiful lanterns, please take a look." The three of them were not far away, and Yanzi ran over excitedly with a lantern in one hand, and when she came to Suxian, she saw the nurse Behind him, the man who looked like the second general who was humming, was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face became wider, and he gave a deep blessing, and said in a crisp voice, "I have seen my uncle."

Because Suxian had a marriage contract with Murong Haotian at the beginning, so Yanzi and other servants called Murong Haotian in private. Although the marriage contract between Suxian and him was broken by the emperor afterwards, but at this moment when they met for the first time, Yanzi forgot. Change your tune.

Suxian's cheeks turned red immediately, and she spat in a low voice, "Swallow, don't be so loud, it's a joke!"

However, Murong Haotian smiled brightly, and responded generously, "I haven't seen you for a year, but the swallow has become more and more clever, haha!"

The crown prince on the side frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said, "Today's Qiqiao Festival, there are countless colored lanterns to be released in the Chuancheng River. On a whim, I also prepared a colored lantern to release. It should be a gift for Miss Lin's Qiqiao Festival, how about going to see it?"

Suxian was blessed with a small body, and she accepted it.

"Xiaozhengzi, are you ready?" The prince turned sideways and asked the entourage at the side.

"Return to Master, everything has been arranged." Xiao Zhengzi responded with a smile.

"Hehe, let's go and have a look." The prince smiled happily, and took the lead to walk to the bank of the river.

Everyone followed, and after a short while, they came to the bank of the river. As night fell, there were colorful blossoms in the middle of the river, and the lanterns with candlelight in the center floated down from the upper stream. At first glance, it is as dazzling as stars scattered all over.

Attracting many tourists to stop and watch, Yanzi smiled lightly and said with his tongue, "Second Miss, look at that lotus lantern and that lily lantern, they are so beautiful..." Enthused by watching, Yanzi couldn't help but Impatiently, he raised the lantern in his hand, "Second Miss, can we also come and light the lantern?"

Suxian was also attracted by the beautiful scenery, she nodded with a light smile, looked down at the lantern presented by Murong Haotian in her hand, glanced lightly at the man beside her from the corner of her eye, and walked slowly along the stone steps to the river bed.

"Wait a minute, Miss Lin, why don't you enjoy the lantern prepared by Gu for you, and then decide whether you want to let go of the lantern in your hand." The prince suddenly stopped her, saying with no deep meaning.

Suxian turned around in confusion, and was about to speak, but she heard the tourists along the river exclaiming in surprise, "Ah! It's so beautiful!"

"My God, I have never seen such a huge lantern..."

Among them, a person with a little knowledge even exclaimed loudly, "Wonderful, this is a royal lantern, look quickly, the golden python and black sparrow are not patterns that ordinary people dare to use..."

"Golden python... Isn't the golden python a pattern that can only be used by princes today, that Xuanque..."

"Xuan Que is naturally the Crown Princess..." The interested person quickly took the words, his tone full of envy.

"So, this lantern was specially set up by the crown prince for the crown princess. As far as I know, the crown prince has not yet married the princess. Could it be that it has already been settled?"

Surrounded by tourists, whispering to each other, everyone is amazed.

Suxian looked up, and saw a golden python and black sparrow lantern in the middle of the river bed, the size of a fishing boat, and its whole body was translucent, slowly descending the river.The four-clawed golden python is alive and well, with its head held up in a tendency to take off, and a five-color black sparrow flying beside the golden python is even more conspicuous. I don't know how many lights the craftsman used to make this huge colored lantern. The candles directly reflected the feathers of the five-colored sparrows, and the silk silk on the sparrow's body was woven and wound with a number of gold threads, which complemented the golden scales on the golden python's body. The colorful lights on the side were dimmed.

Seeing this situation, Suxian felt a lot of uneasiness in her heart. Since ancient times in the Da'an Dynasty, there was a saying that the crown prince was decorated with a golden python, and the crown prince and concubine were matched with five-color black sparrows.Today the prince claimed to give him a gift, which turned out to be a golden python and a mysterious sparrow lamp, which is self-evident.

"Too...Third Young Master, this gift is too expensive, Suxian can't bear it, and dare not accept..." Suxian said eagerly.

"How can you not bear it? You must have understood the meaning of Gu." The prince said seriously, "Now the lantern that Gu gave you is right in front of you, and the lantern that brother Haotian gave you is in your hands. How do you choose?" According to Miss Lin's will. Although Gu is the heir of a country, he will not force others to make things difficult, let alone use power to oppress others. This lantern is just to express Gu's intentions. Bird Lantern, I'm still willing to continue to let go of the colored lantern in my hand, Gu Jun will accept it calmly."

As he said that, the prince looked sideways at Murong Haotian, who was expressionless, and continued, "Actually, I have talked with Haotian a long time ago. I also had a gentleman's appointment with him. There is no distinction between monarch and minister, Miss Lin doesn't have to worry about her lonely status."

The prince made it clear that although Suxian felt at ease, she became more and more anxious invisibly. It was obviously just a random Qiqiao Festival lighting, but how could it be a life-long event by accident.

The meaning of the prince is very clear, if you accept the golden python lantern in the river bed, it is equivalent to accepting the position of the crown prince.If you still choose to let go of the colored lantern presented by Murong Haotian in your hand, it is equivalent to choosing Murong Haotian.

Although Suxian's heart was towards Murong Haotian, she was still at a loss for making a hasty decision at this time.

After being bored for a while, watching the golden python lanterns drifting down the river, drifting farther and farther, Suxian even felt Murong Haotian's eyes eagerly asking for answers, and they shot at herself frequently.

Suxian finally gave the prince a blessing deeply, and said softly, "Thanks to the kindness of the third son, Suxian is deeply terrified, but Suxian's temperament has always been casual and idle, and it is not suitable for living in the palace. Prosperity and wealth, Suxian yearns for a life of freedom, comfort and indifference, I hope the third son forgives Suxian for being careless..."

As soon as Suxian said this, there was a hint of disappointment in the prince's eyes, and then he smiled generously, "It's okay, it's okay, Miss Lin, don't be too modest, fate is destined by God, so naturally you can't force it."

When the two spoke like this, Murong Haotian's originally serious expression suddenly slowed down by three points, his brows raised, his joyful expression uncontrollably rippling, his ink-like eyes fixedly stared at the colored lantern in Suxian's hand, only looking forward to Seeing her put the lantern back on the river bed, although she didn't say it clearly, it was enough to show Suxian's heart.

Who knows, things in the world are not as people wish, Suxian held up the colored lantern in her hand, smiled sweetly, and with her beautiful eyes moving, she raised her hand and hung the colored lantern on the low-hanging willow branch aside, Yingying said, "The colored lantern enters the water!" , it will drift away without a trace in an instant, it is better to hang on the branch for a long time."

Immediately, he respectfully blessed Murong Haotian and the prince deeply, and said with a dignified smile, "It's been a while since Suxian came out, and she's really tired, why don't you just say goodbye and get together again some other day. "

After finishing speaking, he walked forward on his own, leaving the stunned Murong Haotian and the prince behind, not knowing what his intention was.

Swallow looked at the two colored lanterns in his hands in astonishment, and saw that his master had left alone. In his eagerness, he could only follow Suxian's actions and hang the two colored lanterns in his hand to the side. The branch quickly followed up, and asked in a puzzled manner, "Second Miss, other people put the lanterns in the river bed, why did you hang the lanterns on the branches, the slaves are confused..."

Suxian walked forward and whispered something, the master and servant drifted away, even though Murong Haotian listened attentively, he still couldn't understand, turned his head and stared at the colorful lights on the willow branches, and nodded thoughtfully , turned around and gave the prince a fist, and strode away...
