The reborn woman returns

Chapter 71

Thinking of how his elder brother was being watched by a group of noble ladies at the birthday banquet, Huo Hanyan couldn't help but chuckled and walked up to him, "But there are so many noble ladies, Hou Ye missed the opportunity to see all the beauties this time." Chance."

As she approached step by step, Xue Yan raised his eyebrows and stared at her with slightly raised lips. "A beauty who behaves like a carved wood?"

Huo Hanyan couldn't help curling her lips, what's wrong with being a dignified and elegant lady?no vision.But... "Why don't you go to the queen mother's birthday?" And the queen mother and the emperor never seem to ask.

"Today is my birthday." Xue Yan continued to smile, and there was a trace of bitterness in her pupils that made her froze in place. "It's also the anniversary of my mother's death."

Looking at him stupidly, she never knew, no wonder he was in such an abnormal mood today, no wonder he wanted to stay with him tonight.Recalling this day in the previous life in a trance, every time I came back from the palace, I would almost watch him cooking wine and drinking alone in the yard.

My own birthday is my mother's death taboo, which is enough to make people uncomfortable, but it just so happens that this day is also the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the whole world celebrates it with lanterns and festoons everywhere.Husband...

"Where do you want to go?" Since you agreed to accompany him, then I will listen to him tonight, as long as he feels more at ease. "Do you want me to drink with you?"

Seeing her serious appearance, Xue Yan couldn't help laughing. "Can you drink?"

No, Huo Hanyan frowned and shook her head, she would get drunk after only two drinks.But there is a saying that does not say: Du Kang is the only one who can solve the disturbance.

Xue Yan reached out and stroked the ends of her hair, with too many emotions hidden in his eyes, unfathomable and elusive. "Accompany me to Tianling Temple first?"

Tianling Temple is backed by Lingshan Mountain and has the Jinghe River in front. It is a place of exquisite beauty. It is also famous in Qianguo because Master Xuanshu practiced here, so many dignitaries will choose to enshrine their relatives tablets in Tianling Temple to pray for the dead. Can rest in peace.Although Xue Yan's memory of his mother was very vague, he still wanted to take Hanyan to see her.Also let his mother know that this is the woman he identified in this life.

"Okay." Huo Hanyan nodded.I had never worshiped in my previous life. Although this life is not justified, I have expressed my heart.

The gates of the city were closed as soon as it was dark, but Wei Guogong's badge was very useful, but after a while, the two fast horses left the imperial capital and went to the Tianling Temple in the suburbs. It was also very flimsy, and the belt fluttered when it was blown by the wind, and the cool wind even penetrated in, making her tremble slightly.Xue Yan seemed to have noticed this, and the horse slowed down a bit, and the figure on the horse disappeared in an instant.

Huo Hanyan had no time to startle, the cloak wrapped her tightly from behind, blocking the cold wind, without letting in at all, her strong arms hugged her tightly in front of her chest, but the horse's rhythm did not slow down, nestled in his arms Li Huo Hanyan raised her head slightly, watching him staring intently at the front, it seemed that the past and the present had merged into one for an instant, but in fact, this was what she was most afraid of seeing, because she had no resistance to such a husband at all. ability.

"Is it still cold?" Xue Yan lowered his head slightly, seeing her dazed and foolish appearance and not responding, thinking that the actions just now had frightened her, so he immediately tightened the reins and stopped the horse. "But were you scared just now?" She walked over with confidence, but she wasn't prepared to come over suddenly, it's normal to be scared.

Huo Hanyan got up from his arms and shook her head, she was sitting on the horse's back now, the horse swayed from side to side because it stopped, and the other horse was nowhere to be seen.Looking around, it was pitch black, and the vision was not good despite the moonlight, and the unknown insects in the field made one after another. "Let's go quickly, the suburbs are not safe these days." Although there have never been floods of disaster victims and bandits in this life, it is better to be careful at night.

Xue Yan responded, pulled the reins around her tightly, and set off again.Tianling Temple is not far from the imperial capital, let alone traveling on a fast horse.After entering the temple to pay homage to the spirit seat of Mrs. Guo, the two rushed back again. Although it was almost midnight, the lantern festival had not yet ended.It might be because Xue Yan had paid homage to his dead mother just now, but Xue Yan was very quiet, which made Huo Hanyan feel uncomfortable.The dead mother has to worship, and the birthday has to be celebrated, right?He took a deep breath and leaned forward with his hands behind his back, and looked at him with a smile: "There is still some time, shall I take you to the Lantern Festival?"

"..." Xue Yan stared at the woman in front of him with burning eyes, and the distress hidden in her eyes made the corners of his lips twitch with pleasure. "good."

If someone else showed him such a look, he would definitely be extremely angry, because he didn't need anyone's pity, but when this person was her, it made him feel warm in his heart. Does she care about him?

In fact, Huo Hanyan hadn't been to the Lantern Festival for many years. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been inclusive of all rivers and made great efforts to govern.Although it is not as open as Yuan people's customs and follows the custom of monogamy, it is affected by some influences. It is not like the strict rules for women in the previous dynasty. There are many women gathered in twos and threes to admire the roadside. Lanterns, guess the lantern riddles above.

Occasionally, when she saw something novel, Huo Hanyan would touch it with great interest, while Xue Yan just quietly followed her, pampering and affectionate.Soon Huo Hanyan's eyes were attracted by the painting booth that was almost buried by the lanterns. The peddler was a frail scholar, and he didn't want to sell business, only cared about painting by himself.The scholar looks quite literate, and a figure of a woman jumps on the drawing paper between the strokes.In an instant, she recognized that the woman in this painting was the immortal who promised her three years of longevity in Luoyingjian, and she was very grateful, "Excuse me, my lord, what is the name of the immortal in this painting?"

"This is the Emperor, Empress Nuwa." Before the scholar could answer, a lively and joyful voice suddenly sounded from behind Huo Hanyan and Xue Yan.

Huo Hanyan turned around and saw a girl who had just grown up with a smile on her cheeks, with two braids hanging neatly on her chest.Seeing Huo Hanyan, the little girl immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Pretty sister, so it's you?"

"You recognize me?" But I have no influence on her~
