Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Five Night Royal Lamps
To others, it was Xu Qingke's gentle and caring smile towards Luo Yuxin.
Lin Yunmeng, who was being watched, wanted to be angry, but with their eyes facing each other like this, her mind went blank for a second, and then she silently looked away.
The emotion in the other person's eyes was very deep, and only the smile just now revealed a little bit, making him aware of the deep and strong emotion.
"How could it be? If the prince thinks about it carefully, he must have been around when he was eight years old..." Luo Yu was determined not to give up. Although this person was sick and weak, his appearance was really irresistible.
"If you don't remember, you don't remember. I will say it again, get out of the way." Xu Qingke lost his patience. Of course he knew who the other party was. After all, the portrait had been forced into his desk by Prince Lin.
But just because of this, he had to use coldness and ruthlessness to force this person away, not only to prevent Lin Yunmeng from getting further away from him, but also to prevent this woman from being as ignorant as a moth to a flame.
Luo Yuxin looked sad and knew that she was too verbose, so she had to retreat angrily to get out of the way.
Xu Qingke did not walk directly towards Lin Yunmeng. At this time, everyone's eyes fell here intentionally or unintentionally. If he directly showed that he was different from Lin Yunmeng, I don't know how many people would regard her as a thorn in their side.
.
He knew very well that the situation in the capital city was unpredictable, and no matter how anxious he felt at the moment, he could only endure it for life.
Lin Yunmeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when no one came forward. She really didn't like trouble for no reason. She was too tired in her previous life, and she wanted to be a little more relaxed in this life.
"Thank you all for attending my son's birthday banquet..." Prince Lin appeared at some unknown time, and wearing casual clothes could not hinder his majestic momentum.
After saying some polite words, they first moved out the royal lamp given by the emperor. The lamp was in the shape of a huge, blooming lotus, with golden lace wrapped in white foil oil paper, with the royal family's logo painted on it.
"This is the royal lantern gifted by the emperor. Tonight, this lantern will be put out by my son personally. If you have time, go to the moat to see the lanterns blooming and enjoy the beautiful scenery of our country." Prince Lin waved his hand after the introduction.
Have someone carry the lamp back.
The people below clapped and cheered. Normally, only during the Lantern Festival would you have the opportunity to see the royal lanterns blooming. Now, because of Xu Qingke, you can see this grand scene again, which makes people yearn for it.
However, ministers generally have matters to attend to, so those who go to enjoy the lanterns in the evening must be juniors.
Later, the ministers presented exquisite and expensive gifts. During the dinner, Xu Qingke toasted to the table, ignoring the stunned and obsessed eyes of a group of women. The two looked at each other and moved away in tacit understanding.
Soon night fell, the sky was filled with stars, and the cool evening breeze blew the willow trees.
As Lin Yunmeng expected, the people who went to see the royal lanterns were only juniors. How could the ministers have the free time to see this thing.
The huge painted boat docked on the branch of the moat is the Xunhuan Tower. Several small boats are moored at the pier, swaying slightly with the waves of the river.
A long procession rushed straight to the river bank, and many people watched curiously. Children followed the carriage column to the pier.
A man in blue clothes with white stripes got out of the carriage first, put his slender fingers into his fist and coughed a few times.
"Have someone be careful and bring the lamp over." The man's voice was low and melodious, and his temperament between a mature man and a teenager made people unable to take their eyes away.
Several servants groaned and carried a giant thing wrapped in cloth to the river. The thin cloth could not cover the sparks inside. The vague shape made people guess a lot. Xu Qingke lifted the cloth, revealing
The true appearance of urine.
"Wow! Big lotus!" The child exclaimed in childlike innocence.
The female relatives couldn't help but open their eyes wide, covered their mouths and shouted softly.
The royal lantern without lighting is already very beautiful, but I didn’t expect that after lighting the warm orange fire, the lantern would be so amazing.
When the lamp is not lit, the white foil above is blank, but now the golden light illuminates the hidden dark patterns on the canvas. Each petal is a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers. This is also the unique feature of the royal lamp, which means that the mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
Lin Yunmeng had no worries in her heart. She had seen this lantern many times. When she returned to the capital to be knighted after becoming famous in a battle, Xiao Yubei specially placed a royal lantern for her. At that time, she was not moved to the point of confusion.
"Master, please draw the rope?" The waiter lowered the lantern into the water, splashing water, and Dahai handed the rope connected to the lantern to Xu Qingke with both hands.
Xu Qingke took it, looked back at the crowd, and pulled it casually, and the huge lantern instantly spread out, revealing the burning wick inside.
The jumping sparks will not be extinguished despite being blown by the breeze, and the golden branches extending out reflect the light extremely brilliantly.
This beautiful scene made many people passing by stop and watch. Everyone closed their eyes piously and made a wish.
Only Lin Yunmeng watched everything indifferently. None of the wishes she made in her previous life came true, so she no longer believed in such things.
Xu Qingke, who also didn't believe in this kind of prayer, looked straight here. What he saw through the crowd was her.
After the lanterns drifted far away along the river until they were no longer visible, Xu Qingke took advantage of the chaos and left, following Lin Yunmeng who was walking to the Martial Arts Garden.
By the time the female relatives came to their senses, their target had long since disappeared, but luckily there were other handsome young men among the crowd.
Xiao Yubei, who originally noticed that Lin Yunmeng had disappeared and wanted to follow him, was suddenly surrounded by a group of female relatives and watched helplessly as Xu Qingke followed Lin Yunmeng.
The woman's slim figure casts a long black shadow on the ground, her blue-gray skirt flowing elegantly.
Both of them were clearly aware of each other's existence, but no one spoke to break the silence, and they walked in tandem.
When she arrived at the gate of Yanwu Garden, Lin Yunmeng paused and looked sideways: "Why are you following me, Prince Qing?"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xu Qingke's eyes, and he stood out from the shadows. It was obviously the season of spring, but the man was still wearing a slightly thick fur cloak.
His excessively pale complexion added a touch of fragility to him and lost a bit of fortitude.
"Didn't you say that you only want you? I've thought about it, and I only want you." Xu Qingke looked serious: "I know that I haven't dealt with An Yi's matter well. I can do it again."
Do you want to give me a chance? You see, my son is unparalleled in beauty, has a distinguished background, knows his mistakes and can correct them. He has never had an affair with anyone else. Although he is poorer and in poor health, you also know
, I am absolutely healthy, this is just an appearance."
Xu Qingke enumerated his own advantages one by one, leaning forward slightly, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, revealing his master's inner emotional fluctuations.
Lin Yunmeng was stunned. This was the first time she heard such a formal confession.
