Chapter 21 Lantern Festival (2)

"My lord, this lady, do you want to go to the west of the city to put a lantern?"

The Lantern River in the west of the city happened to be able to put up lanterns tonight, and the young man in front of him was sent by the boss there to solicit business in the city.Seeing that the two people were dressed luxuriously, the young man boldly stepped forward to inquire.

That young man... looks scary...

Song Qing'an blinked, then turned to look at Pei Qing: "Mu Zhi, why don't you just put one?"

Pei Qing scoffed at this illusory and naive wish-making activity, but seeing that Song Qing'an seemed quite interested, she agreed.

He was originally to accompany the princess, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Song Qingan stretched his brows and eyes, happily letting the young man lead the way.

A lot of people have gathered in the west of the city, and the lanterns on the river stretch for several miles, glittering and twinkling, adorning the good night far away.Like the silver man falling far away in the world, the sky and the sky are connected far away on the river.Song Qing'an squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, but he couldn't see the end.

"Miss Young Master, over here."

Song Qingan thanked the young man not far away, and pulled Pei Qing into the crowd.

Maybe it's because Pei Qing always has a lingering awe in her body, or it's because of him walking with a sword.The crowd who were still huddled together dispersed strangely after the two entered, leaving a distance.

Song Qing'an wrote carefully on the note while Pei Qing folded her arms and looked at her. Seeing that her movements were extremely cautious and pious, she couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Does Yue'er still believe this?"

At that time, Song Qing'an was putting the lantern into the river, and when the lantern lightly touched the surface of the water, it created circles of ripples.She stared at the two lanterns drifting away, and then answered Pei Qing.

"Sometimes, you have to believe in something to have any hope of going on."

She took half a step back and stood side by side with Pei Qing, looking at the people who were still setting up lanterns by the river together, and asked abruptly: "Mu Zhi, if it really comes true, do you have any wishes to make?"

Under the mask, Pei Qing lowered her eyes and said, "No."

His wishes had already been fulfilled one by one by himself, and those who deceived him before... were all settled by him.

Song Qing'an didn't believe it, she said slowly: "I thought that people are always greedy. If you have one, you will want another thing you don't have."

"Some people just want to survive, some people want to be rich after they are alive, and some people want power after being rich..."

"So what about Mu Zhi, what else do you want?"

As Song Qing'an spoke, she leaned her head on Pei Qing's shoulder, and the two held hands together, which was initiated by her when she spoke just now.

She seemed to be asking, but she was clearly hinting.

Pei Qing was alone, covering the sky with one hand, the only thing she lacked was someone beside her.

He does lack...but will he want it?
Song Qing'an was not sure, but rather worried.

Only Pei Qing let out a soft snort: "Couldn't Yue'er guess it?"

He embraced Song Qing'an, and looked at her sideways: "Yue'er is so smart, you should have already guessed it?"

Even though it was covered by a mask, Song Qing'an could still feel Pei Qing's extremely aggressive eyes.She was speechless for a while, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "How dare I guess what Mu Zhi is thinking."

"But..." Song Qing'an held the hand on his waist, coaxing, "Mu Zhi, don't worry, no matter what you want to do, I will be with you."

Pei Qing looked at her for a long time, and finally looked away.

"What about you, what would you wish for?"

"Mu Zhi, it won't work if you say your wish."

Song Qingan frowned and did not answer his question.It is impossible to tell the truth, after all, what she wrote is... wishing my brother all the best and great success.

This cunning little liar just coaxed him to say something, but now he is prevaricating like this.Pei Qing narrowed her eyes unkindly, and pinched the soft flesh on her waist as if punishing her.

Wearing a lot of winter clothes, Song Qing'an felt an itchy waist, and squeezed into Pei Qing's arms while dodging.

"It's about midnight."

As if responding to what he said, the ancient bell on the city tower rang, and the deep bell echoed in the city.There is fine snow falling slowly from the sky.

With a "bang", fireworks burst into the sky.Fire trees and silver flowers, falling star marks.Song Qingan's attention was drawn, and he fixedly looked at the sky.The bright river in the sky is reflected in her eyes, dazzling and dazzling, blooming with all kinds of elegance.There was also a little white snow on her hair, the tip of her nose was red from the cold, and her face was joyful.

She was fascinated, Pei Qing didn't bother her, and stood beside her quietly.After a long time, Song Qing'an said softly: "Mu Zhi, you said that the fireworks are so bright that people in the sky might see them?"

She didn't seem to want to ask anything from Pei Qing, so she continued without waiting for a response: "It's probably possible... Maybe through the fireworks, I can see the people on the ground again."

Pei Qing was noncommittal, Song Qing'an had been feeling a little strange tonight, and by now, he had probably guessed why.

In fact, she was quite happy tonight, but for some reason, the moment the fireworks ignited in the city, Song Qing'an inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness.

The surroundings were so lively, but she felt that everything was just a rumbling noise and gradually receding, leaving her alone in the world.

Song Qing'an silently lowered his head, unwilling to let Pei Qing see anything unusual.

Suddenly, she heard a sigh, and then someone hugged her in his arms.

Someone seemed to say to her, "Cry if you want to cry."

Song Qing'an leaned on Pei Qing's chest and opened her eyes slightly as if she was stunned.He gathered the crane cloak and wrapped Song Qing'an in it.

The time has passed, but the city is still lively.Under the night, looking into the city from the riverside, the lights in the city are soft and bright, and the voices of people are bustling.

Between square inches, everything feels magnified.But Song Qing'an still didn't cry after all, she closed her eyes and heard her heartbeat clearly.And... Pei Qing's heartbeat.

"Boom, boom, boom", powerful and slow, and the sound of fireworks blooming, it was not the first time they embraced each other, but this time, Song Qingan was the most relaxed and at ease.

The crane cloak on his body cut off all the cold, Song Qing'an took the initiative to hug Pei Qing, and faintly felt the body temperature under his clothes.

I don't know when Song Qing'an no longer rejected that scent of agarwood.

As she smells the agarwood, her vigilance is fading... and she relies on a crescendo.

This is really not a good omen... Song Qingan sighed in his heart.

Maybe in the future...she can consider keeping Pei Qing alive.

"Mu Zhi."

"how."

Pei Qing looked at the flying snow all over the sky, her expression was alienated and indifferent, but her tone was rarely gentle.

"Does this count...just as Mu Xue is also graying?"

Pei Qing lowered her eyes and saw that Song Qing'an's bun had a lot of snow, and the white was very obvious on the black hair.

"I was thinking, it would be great if it could always be like this."

Song Qing'an's voice was muffled, but Pei Qing could hear her hoarseness when she spoke.

If they are really the sons and daughters of ordinary people, maybe it's not bad, right?

Pei Qing stopped unrealistic thoughts in time, and her intuition told him that it would be dangerous to think any further.

"Princess, it's time to go back."

He didn't answer Song Qingan's words, but just reminded him lightly.

"Yes, it's time to go back."

Song Qing'an withdrew from his arms meekly, put on the hood and walked back slowly.

They didn't have much time, and when they returned to the temple, she became Princess Zhaoding again, while he was still the traitor Pei Qing.

There will be neither "Mu Zhi" nor "Yue'er" in the palace.

Some things can only be left outside the palace.

Thinking of his elder brother who was still in the border area, Song Qing'an's heart sank slightly.

Tomorrow's palace banquet to welcome the Xiye Mission...maybe it's an opportunity.
