Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 285 Chen Zhi's Loneliness

During the Lantern Festival, people would drink glutinous rice balls, guess lantern riddles and enjoy lanterns. Chen Zhibai sat in the courtyard boredly, staring up at the round moon in the night sky.

The bright moon was in the sky, emitting a soft light.

Although there are fewer servants in this manor in the suburbs, it seems a lot colder, but Chen Zhi's mother is really good to Chen Zhi in terms of food and clothing.

Although Chen Zhi didn't have a maid to serve him, there was a middle-aged old mother who cooked for Chen Zhi here.The servant brought a bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls from the kitchen and put it beside Chen Zhi.

"My lord, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month we have to eat some Lantern Festival." The servant stood beside Chen Zhi and said.

Chen Zhi's narrow peach eyes glanced at the bowl of glutinous rice balls casually, "Understood, you can go down."

After the boy left, he stretched out his hand to pick up the bowl of glutinous rice balls, the enamel bowl, and scooped up the Lantern Festival with a spoon in his slender and white hands. The hot air floated above the enamel bowl, and Chen Zhi's vision became a little blurred.

He put the Lantern Festival aside again, raised his head, covered his eyes with his slender fingers, and stared at the moon through the gaps between his fingers.The evil smile faded, will the moon of Qi State and the moon of Zhao State be the same?Do you and I see the same moon?Lan Yao.

The white clouds are thousands of miles away, and the bright moon is in front of the stream and behind the stream.

When you look at this round of full moon, will the bright moon really convey my thoughts to you?
Chen Zhi didn't know, he remembered that even though he had spent the Lantern Festival in the country of Zhao in previous years and was in a foreign land, he didn't feel lonely. Lonely but not empty in my heart.

Now that he has returned to Qi Country, the imperial palace is very close to him, and his mother has also become very close to him.But now my heart is empty.

As if stuck in the throat, unable to speak.

What will Lan Yao do now?It should be visiting the Lantern Festival in the capital with Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan.Every Lantern Festival, the lantern festival in Beijing will be extremely grand and lively.Lan Yao likes to be lively and definitely won't miss this opportunity.

The corners of Chen Zhi's mouth curled up, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't know when Jing Ning and Brother Xiao got married, and he couldn't catch up, so he couldn't see the two of them praying to heaven and earth.But think about it, even if I was still in Zhao country, I probably wouldn't see the scene of the two getting married with my own eyes.

Chen Zhi picked up the slightly cold glutinous rice balls, the soup in the bowl was running low, and the glutinous rice balls were also sticky and squeezed together.

Chen Zhi scooped up a glutinous rice ball, it was sweet and a bit cold.

Zhao country.

Jing Ning was holding a big rabbit lamp in his hand, but Xiao Lin next to him was holding a lot of things in his hands, various snacks and some gadgets, Xiao Lin bought all Jing Ning's favorite things and took them by himself.

Xiao Yuan and Lan Qian Lan Yao walked behind.Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Lin who was walking side by side with Jing Ning in front, because the street was crowded with people, she had been carefully protecting Jing Ning from passers-by.

His clumsy elder brother actually has such a careful side, and it really only shows when he is around Jing Ning.Xiao Yuan smiled, sincerely happy for Jing Ning and her brother.When lovers get married, this is really a very beautiful thing.

Lan Qian looked at the lively streets curiously. This was the first time she went to the Lantern Festival. There used to be Lantern Festivals in Yangzhou. Yangzhou has a lot of water. During the Lantern Festival, handsome men and women put lanterns by the river to pray for their wishes.But because I was weak and because I had no one to accompany me, I never went shopping.Back in Beijing this year, I finally had a chance to visit this lantern festival with my sister, and I think everything is so novel.

"Qianqian, what do you want? My sister will buy it for you." Lan Yao said boldly.

Xiao Yuan echoed from the side: "Yes, Qianqian, you can tell what you like and let Yaoyao buy it."

Lan Qian's face turned red. Although the sky was dark now, the street was brightly lit. She turned her head a little embarrassed, "I don't have anything I like yet."

Jing Ning and Xiao Lin walked in front and also heard the conversation behind, Jing Ning turned around and said, "This is the first time for Qianqian to go to the Lantern Festival with us."

"Yes." Lan Yao nodded for Lan Qian and replied.

"Ah, there is a mask seller." Xiao Yuan looked into the distance and shouted.

"Let's go and have a look."

A few people walked to the small stall, and the mask seller saw that the clothes and speech and behavior of the few people looked like some rich people and big families, and the smiles on their faces became more and more pleasing, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's choose a mask."

Xiao Yuan picked up the masks with great interest, some of which looked like ghosts and gods, and some looked like animals.

Xiao Lin casually picked up a white rabbit mask and compared it to Jing Ning's face, then smiled, "Here it is for you."

Jing Ning blushed, looked at the mask, then at the rabbit lamp in his hand, thought about it without rejecting it, and took it over, this mask just matched the rabbit lamp in his hand.

Seeing Jing Ning take it, Xiao Lin opened his mouth to speak, but a shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and Jing Ning put a mask on his face.

Xiao Lin took off the mask and played with it in his hands. What he just gave Jing Ning was a white rabbit mask, and this one is gray. He smiled, his cold face becoming softer and softer.

"For me?" Xiao Lin's voice was low and magnetic.

Jing Ning felt that her face was getting redder, she nodded and did not answer.

The other three women looked at the sweetness of the two, and consciously stopped looking at them, carefully choosing the mask.

Xiao Yuan picked up a mask in amazement, and looked at it with interest.

Standing next to her, Lan Qian looked up subconsciously, her face suddenly turned white, "Sister Ayuan, you don't want to wear this mask, do you?" There was a slight tremolo in her voice.

Lan Yao also looked over when she heard the words, her eyes lit up, "This one is good. Ah Yuan also find me the same one."

Xiao Lin's eyes were dull, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly when he saw the mask in Xiao Yuan's hand.

The whole body of the mask is black, the cyan fangs are horrible and bloodthirsty, one eye is blue with snow, and the other eye is green with fire.It is extremely scary at first glance.This should be the mask of ghosts and gods.

Lan Qian turned even paler after hearing Lan Yao's words, "Sister...you, you like this too."

Lan Yao was very interested in the mask in Xiao Yuan's hand, nodded, and then asked the boss: "Boss, do you still have this mask?"

The boss shook his head, "We have only one mask here, there is no second one."

After hearing this, Lan Yao felt a little disappointed.

Just as she was about to lower her head to pick out another similar mask, a man's voice came from beside her ear.

"Brother Xiao?"

Feng Ting looked at Xiao Lin in front of him in surprise, Xiao Lin nodded to him, "Brother Feng." Now Xiao Yuan likes Feng Ting, and Feng Ting doesn't like Jing Ning any more. Much pleasing to the eye.
