i people must also bravely raise the villain cubs!

After drifting for nearly an hour, they finally arrived above Brother.

Jiang Zhi lowered his head and glanced down.

The maids and eunuchs were coming and going, very busy.

This time point is obviously not the best choice.

Anyway, the Kongming lanterns are only put off at night, so it’s too early to go down now.

"Teacher Shen, let's just float out like this at night, and it happens to be night, so we can't be seen clearly."

Jiang Zhi seemed to have suddenly discovered a good way to get in and out of the imperial city, and his expression looked a little excited.

The Mermaid Tears Hairpin given to her by Teacher Reed is so useful!
  With this, she will not hold back Teacher Shen Xian, but can also help him.

Shen Xian stood on the transparent bubble, lowered his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Zhi simply sat down cross-legged in the transparent bubble and looked down at the imperial city beneath his feet.

Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tiled double-eaves roof of the Forbidden City looks particularly brilliant, shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Standing at a high place, you can easily have a panoramic view of the entire imperial city.

It's basically exactly the same as the map of the imperial city they copied and drawn.

Jiang Zhi looked down and couldn't help but sigh.

He was able to stand at such a high place and still remain calm, thanks to the teachers who took him to jump off the cliff when they had nothing to do. Her fear of heights was cured instantly.

Even standing at such a high place, his face was numb and he didn't feel anything, as if he had been used to it for a long time.

The two of them stayed in the sky until it was almost dark.

The sunset on the horizon dyed half the sky red.

The entire imperial city was shrouded in the sunset.

There are no longer as many people walking around in my brother's office as there were during the day.

Jiang Zhi controlled the bubbles and slowly dropped them towards where Lu Xuyan lived.

When I landed on the ground, I realized that there were not as many people walking around here as in the morning. The surroundings were quiet and there was no sound at all.

The two quietly opened the door and walked into the house.

Lu Xuyan, who was sitting on a chair reading alone, raised his head when he heard the sound. When he saw the two of them, he jumped down from the chair excitedly and ran towards them on his short legs: "Sister Fairy! You are really here. !”

Jiang Zhi reached out to catch him: "Why is it so quiet around here? It's obviously very lively during the day."

"Because everyone went to Lianxin Lake to attend the Lantern Festival banquet." Lu Xuyan answered her question obediently.

"Then why didn't you go?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuyan lowered his eyes, a trace of loneliness and sadness flashed in his eyes.

"They all said that the father did not want to see Yan'er, and the father did not send anyone to pick up Yan'er."

The whole person was immersed in an atmosphere of sadness.

His mother had just passed away, and he was not favored by his father. Even his brothers had been bullying him, and even the servants would step on him and ignore him.

Seeing how sad he was, Jiang Zhi didn't mention it again.

"Yan'er is not sad. Does Yan'er want to go out of the palace to celebrate the Lantern Festival?"

Lu Xuyan raised his head blankly and stared at her with his round eyes: "Leaving the palace to celebrate the Lantern Festival?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zhi knelt down and looked at him, "Do you want to?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuyan quickly came to his senses and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

The smile on Jiang Zhi's face deepened, and he rubbed his little head again, stood up, took his hand, and looked back at Shen Xian: "Teacher Shen, let's go then."

Shen Xian nodded slowly and raised his hand on the wall to open the passage to the inn.

As an ordinary person in this world, Lu Xuyan had never seen such a magical thing.

I was even more convinced that the two people in front of me were the fairy sister and the fairy brother in heaven!

They all came down to earth to help him!

"Let's go."

Jiang Zhi took Lu Xuyan's little hand and walked into the passage with him.

Shen Xian stopped them from behind.

The moment the door closed, the door on the wall disappeared.

Walking out of the other end of the passage, you have already arrived at the inn outside.

Lu Xuyan's eyes widened, he looked at his surroundings with an incredulous look, and asked in a gentle voice: "Sister Fairy, where is this place?"

"This is an inn outside the imperial city." Jiang Zhi took his hand and walked to the window, picked him up and looked outside.

The red sun sets in the west, and the stars and moonlight come.

During the Lantern Festival, the capital is brightly lit, and wherever you look, you can see sparkling trees, eight streets and nine streets, and bustling people everywhere.

The lights on the streets were much livelier than usual. The bustling crowds, the sounds of vendors selling their goods, and the sound of fireworks all blended together. As far as the eye could see, it was so prosperous.

The little guy in his arms looked at this prosperous scene in front of him, his eyes were obsessed with intoxication and surprise.

"Is this what the outside world is like?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi turned to look at him.

In this way, as a prince, he cannot enter and leave the palace at will.

This should be the little guy’s first time out of the palace, right?

"Does it look good?"

Lu Xuyan's thoughts were brought back by her voice, his eyes were faintly shining with excitement, and he nodded vigorously: "It looks good! It looks much better than in the palace!"

"There are many beautiful and interesting places in this world waiting for you to search and explore. If you are not happy staying in the palace, then come out of the palace and see the outside world. You will encounter many interesting things. People and things.”

Her voice is gentle and pure, and her words are clear and round, like gurgling water or like the wind blowing willows, giving people an indescribable sense of comfort.

Lu Xuyan clenched the clothes on her shoulders with his small hands, and after a moment of silence he said, "Sister Fairy, can I also have a chance to see this world?"

"Of course, everyone is free and has the right to choose. If you want to see the world, then go ahead and don't leave any regrets."

Hearing this, Lu Xuyan lowered his eyes.

The hesitation in his eyes gradually turned into determination.

"Well! When Yan'er grows up, she wants to take her mother's place and take a good look at the world!"

Jiang Zhi gently touched his little head and smiled without saying a word.

She held him and stood at the window for a while, then put him down and took his little hand: "Let's go."

"Good~"

-

The three of them came out of the inn. The street was crowded with people. Pedestrians were almost walking shoulder to shoulder, leaving no gaps between people.

In order to prevent Lu Xuyan from getting lost, Shen Xian simply picked him up and walked side by side with Jiang Zhi.

"Hold me a little tighter, be careful not to get lost." Shen Xian turned around and suddenly said this to Jiang Zhi in a lukewarm way.

Jiang Zhi nodded and grabbed his sleeve.

There were more people on the street than she imagined. If she didn't catch them, they might really get separated.

"Brother Immortal, Yan'er wants to eat that."

The two of them looked in the direction of Lu Xuyan's finger and saw the candied haws.

Shen Xian didn't answer him, but just held him and slowly walked through the crowd to the candied haws stall.

"Three bunches of candied haws on a stick and one apple candy." Jiang Zhi took out the silver given by Shen Xian from his bag and paid the money, then took three bunches of candied haws on a stick and one bunch of apple candies.

He handed Lu Xuyan a bunch of candied haws on a stick and a bunch of candied apples, and then she and Shen Xian left two bunches of candied haws on a stick, one each.

Shen Xian hugged Lu Xuyan with one hand and took the candied haws she handed over with the other hand.

Lu Xuyan's eyes shone as he looked at the candy apples and candied haws in his hand, and said cautiously, "Are these two for Yan'er?"

"Yes, Yan'er can tell the teachers what she wants to eat and play,"

Jiang Zhi took a bite of the candied haws.

The sweet and sour taste of hawthorn blends well with the sugar coating on the outside.

She had never eaten hawthorn candied haws. She had always eaten strawberry before. It was a rare occasion that she tried hawthorn, and it seemed to taste pretty good.

The sweet taste spread in his mouth, and Lu Xuyan couldn't help but blush. He lowered his head quietly, covering up the tears in his eyes. He gently held the jade pendant in the bag with his small hands and rubbed it gently through the bag.

Shen Xian glanced at him and said nothing.

Cry if you like.

I feel better when I cry.

Lu Xuyan lay on his shoulder, wrapped his arms around his neck, and turned his back to Jiang Zhi, not wanting the fairy sister to see him cry.

There was a mouthful of candied haws in his mouth, which was sour and sweet with a little salty taste. Tears were already rolling in his eyes, but he still stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Suddenly, another bunch of candied haws came to his mouth.

Shen Xian's cold voice sounded in his ears: "Eat."

Lu Xuyan was stunned and held back his tears unconsciously.

"Brother Immortal, why don't you eat?"

"Ah."

Shen Xian squeezed out a single syllable and put the candied haws in Lu Xuyan's hand.

Lu Xuyan's little hands reluctantly held two candied haws.

I felt this heavy "love".

If this matter had been dealt with before, Shen Xian would not have acted so concerned about the mission objectives.

His eyes fell unconsciously on Jiang Zhi, who was half-crouching in front of a mask stall not far away, carefully choosing a mask show, his eyes were deep.

Somehow, something seemed to be different.

"Here, put this on."

Lu Xuyan was still concentrating on eating the candied haws in his hand, when his vision suddenly went dark, and something hard and a little hard covered his face.

He lowered his head and saw through the two holes that Jiang Zhi was wearing a cat mask on his face.

The round, bright almond eyes were slightly bent, with a smile on their faces, revealed through the only two holes in the mask.

Both of his hands were occupied by candied haws.

He had no choice but to ask: "Sister Fairy, what is the shape of the mask on Yan'er's face?"

"What shape does Yan'er like?"

Jiang Zhi did not answer his question, but threw it back to him.

The little guy didn't feel anything was wrong and really thought about it: "Rabbit?"

Jiang Zhi: ".?"

Are all the animals that little boys like nowadays so cute?

She originally thought he would talk about foxes, or worse, dogs.

No matter how hard I calculated, I never thought it was a rabbit.

Shen Xian glanced at the mask on Lu Xuyan's face, then at the dog mask hidden behind Jiang Zhi, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up.

Jiang Zhi's face hidden under the mask looked a little embarrassed.

Lu Xuyan seemed to see the change in her through her eyes. She was well-behaved and sensible beyond her age, and immediately made up for it: "Actually, Yan'er also likes foxes and dogs. The cat mask on the fairy sister's face is also very beautiful! "

She knew clearly that he was looking for a way out for her.

Jiang Zhi was still helpless.

Because he is really too sensible, not so sensible as a child of this age.

Jiang Zhi took out the dog mask from behind his back.

"Does Yan'er want that fox mask on his face, or this dog mask?"

Now it was Lu Xuyan's turn to be troubled.

Think hard for half a minute.

In the end, he chose the fox mask on his face: "Yan'er wants this fox mask on his face!"

"Then give this mask to Teacher Shen Xian."

Jiang Zhi handed the dog mask to Shen Xian.

The big one and the little one looked at him expectantly, as if expecting him to put on the dog mask too.

Shen Xian: "."

Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Shen Xian took the mask with one hand and put it on his face awkwardly.

Standing on a crowded street, surrounded by people coming and going.

No one stopped to look at them, and no one thought they were strange.

Everyone seemed to be immersed in this grand celebration.

The fireworks in the sky never stop, as if praising this magnificent and prosperous age.

-

Follow the crowd and come to the river.

There were densely packed lanterns floating on the river, all put up by the common people.

Jiang Zhi also bought a lantern from a small vendor.

"Shall we put this lantern out together?"

Shen Xian took advantage of the situation and put Lu Xuyan down.

"Okay!"

Lu Xuyan stretched out his little hand and carefully took the lantern from Jiang Zhi's hand.

Jiang Zhi lit the candle in the middle of the lantern, slowly squatted down with him, and slowly put the lantern into the river.

Make a fist with one hand, wrap the fisted hand with the other, put it in front of your face, close your eyes, and make a wish in your heart.

Shen Xian stood behind them, guarding them quietly to prevent them from being squeezed in by the crowd.

After a while, Jiang Zhixian opened his eyes and stood up.

Looking at the lanterns that have drifted away, what is the inexplicable sense of fate that arises in my heart?
  It's like praying for peace for your family members who are going to war in the battlefield.

An inexplicable sense of tragedy.

Lu Xuyan squatted by the river, curled up into a small ball.

It took him a long time to stand up, turned his back to them and quickly wiped away his tears, then turned around as if nothing had happened.

"Sister Fairy."

"Ok?"

Jiang Zhi knelt down and looked at him levelly: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xuyan approached her and gave her a quick smack on the face.

Jiang Zhi was stunned.

Shen Xian: "..." His fist hardened.

Lu Xuyan's voice was soft and he seemed to have lost his vigilance from yesterday: "Thank you, Sister Fairy~"

Jiang Zhi came back to his senses, chuckled, and reached out to touch his little head again: "You're welcome, aren't you going to set off the Kongming Lantern? It's almost time, let's go quickly."

"Ok!"

-

On the Lantern Festival in the capital, the city gates are still open at night.

I bought a Kongming lantern and went out of the city, stood at the city gate, and wrote a sentence on the Kongming lantern.

Jiang Zhi wrote four words: "safe and smooth".

Shen Xian took the pen, thought about it, and wrote "all the best" on the other side.

Seeing what he wrote, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing her laughter, Shen Xian raised his eyes and looked at her: "Why are you laughing?"

Jiang Zhi suppressed his laughter and shook his head: "I just feel that this sentence doesn't fit well with Teacher Shen."
