Chapter 18

Perhaps because people were watching the fireworks, there were indeed fewer people at the bridge at the end of the street.Compared with the previous one, this place looks very clean.

When walking by the bridge, you can hear the sound of gurgling water.The two walked for a while, and Yuan Miaoyi saw someone putting a river lantern there.I looked towards the river again, and sure enough there were vendors selling river lanterns there.

Xiao Yunyue followed her gaze and saw a stall selling river lanterns: "Want to take a look?"

Yuan Miaoyi looked at the young ladies who were walking together to put out river lanterns and the men and women who were obviously lovers, and finally shook her head: "No."

Xiao Yunyue looked at the couple of men and women by the river.It was obvious that they were lovers, and he thought it was because Yuan Miaoyi was afraid of being misunderstood. He coughed lightly and said, "If you are afraid of being seen, I will watch you here."

Yuan Miaoyi understood the meaning of Xiao Yunyue's words and laughed a little: "Young Master, I misunderstood. I'm just not used to placing my wishes on other things."

Whether it is Yuan Miaoyi who is a princess or Yuan Miaoyi who is the second wife of Rongan Marquis, she relies on herself most of the time.

She relies on Yuan Lingheng, but she does not entirely trust Yuan Lingheng with her life.Just as she was looking at the lanterns at this time, she also hoped that the people putting up the river lanterns would have their wishes come true.

As for her, just watch from a distance on the shore.

When Yuan Miaoyi said this, she was looking at the lanterns winding down the river. The flickering lights made her face look a little hazy, giving people a feeling of being unable to grasp it.

Xiao Yunyue suddenly said: "I don't believe this either." Yuan Miaoyi turned to look at him, and the hazy feeling suddenly disappeared.He then continued: "When I first went into battle, I was only as high as my father's shoulders."

When Dayan was first established, it was surrounded by wolves, the most dangerous of which was Rouran, who was entrenched outside Youzhou.

And Youzhou, which lies between mountains and sea, is actually the throat of Dayan. Before the second year of Jingyuan, it had been invaded by Rouran.

"My father told me from the first time he taught me how to hold a sword that on the battlefield, a soldier's sword is your other life. Trust it, trust your comrades, there is no other trustworthy thing besides this. of."

When Xiao Yunyue said this, there was a smile on his face, as if he was recalling the days when he fought side by side with his father and his comrades.

When Yuan Miaoyi first saw the young marquis in the corridor, she felt that he was different from other noble disciples in Shengjing.

Later she learned that the Xiao family had guarded the border for generations, and Xiao Yunyue followed his father to Youzhou as soon as he could hold a sword.He didn't return to Shengjing until he drove to Rouran from the north and was granted the title of Marquis for his meritorious service.

The things that make him different from the children of Shengjing are the result of the constant tempering of the wind and sand at the border over the years.

After hearing what he said, Yuan Miaoyi smiled at Xiao Yunyue.She rarely had such an expression, Xiao Yunyue couldn't help but be startled, and for a moment he seemed to hear his own heartbeat like a drum.

When Yuan Lingheng came, he saw the two of them talking happily.

God knows how anxious he was after he found out that he and his sister were scattered by the crowd. He searched everywhere but couldn't find them.

Later, he met Xiao Yunyue's guard near Langfang, and Yuan Lingheng also knew him. He said that Yuan Miaoyi met Xiao Yunyue, and the two of them went to the bridge at this time, and he was relieved.With Xiao Yunyue here, at least my sister is safe.

Yuan Lingheng stepped forward quickly and saw that his sister was still standing there perfectly fine, and finally put down his beating heart: "Lintai, thank you very much for today."

Seeing her brother coming, Yuan Miaoyi stood back behind her brother.Xiao Yunyue felt disappointed for a moment, but soon said to Yuan Lingheng with a smile: "It's just a small matter. It's getting late, and I see that the crowd has dispersed. Why don't we walk back slowly?" The crowd is indeed slowly dispersing. Go, Yuan Lingheng and Xiao Yunyue talked about court matters while walking.

Yuan Lingheng also took the time to look at his sister. If he saw which stall she was looking at, he would ask her in a low voice if there was anything she liked.
When they reached the place where Yuan Miaoyi and Yuan Lingheng were separated just now, Xiao Yunyue suddenly stopped and said to Yuan Lingheng: "There are too many people going back this way, and there is still a traffic jam in front, so why not go through it?" Let’s go around the other side.”

Yuan Lingheng was a little confused at first, but he soon saw Yuan Fuwei passing Liu Shutang in front of the street, and he was holding Yuan Shurong in his arms.

Yuan Shurong was holding a candy man in his hand, Yuan Fuwei looked at her with a loving smile on his face, and Liu Shutang was also smiling slightly.Anyone who comes to see it will marvel at what a happy family of three this is.

Yuan Lingheng had a gentle temper and became more restrained and deep after becoming an official. However, when he looked at the scene in front of him, he felt a surge of anger in his chest, which made his chest hurt.

He clenched his fists under his sleeves, then unclenched them. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Indeed, let's walk from the side."

Yuan Miaoyi, who was tightly blocked by Yuan Lingheng and Xiao Yunyue, didn't see anything. Seeing that her brother said the same thing, she said good-bye.

After leaving Xipingfang and heading towards the place where the nobles lived, there were even fewer people. Xiao Yunyue separated from them in front of Taipingfang.Yuan Lingheng thanked Xiao Yunyue again, this time for the matter in Langfang.

Xiao Yunyue knew in his heart that he didn't say anything in front of Yuan Miaoyi. He only patted Yuan Lingheng on the shoulder, and everything was settled without saying a word.

Yuan Lingheng and Yuan Miaoyi slowly walked back to their house. Yuan Lingheng thought about what happened tonight and couldn't help but said: "Thank you for meeting Lintai tonight."

Yuan Miaoyi nodded when she heard this, otherwise she would have been hit by a bamboo frame in Langfang. If her brother knew about it, he would definitely blame himself.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Lingheng said: "He is indeed a rare person worthy of friendship among the noble disciples in the capital."

Yuan Miaoyi recalled her several interactions with Xiao Yunyue and couldn't help but smile: "The young Marquis has a pure heart and an upright mind, which is indeed rare in Beijing."

And Xiao Yunyue, who didn't know that he had been praised by his sweetheart, felt very happy when he recalled tonight.

Thinking of Yuan Miaoyi turning her head and smiling brightly at the bridge, he couldn't help but walk a little faster.

Nanguan looked at the silly smile on his master's face and his faster and faster pace. He was about to say: "Master, let's go. The eldest princess's mansion is ahead." When Xiao Yunyue had already stepped forward, Got in.

The steward outside the eldest princess's house called out to the young marquis, and Xiao Yunyue realized that he had returned to the wrong house.

He didn't want his mother to know where he went tonight, so he planned to go back to his mansion first and come back tomorrow, so that his mother would think that he went back to his mansion to rest directly after leaving the palace.

As soon as he turned around to leave, a rather majestic voice came from behind him: "Stop, it's so late, where are you coming from?"

It was the voice of his father, Duke Dingguo.
