Chapter 1 Qiqiao Festival
Chapter 1
On the Qiqiao Festival, the city gate is open, the city inn is lively, and the Phoenix Tower in Qingcheng is still very lively. At night, people come and go on the streets. Children are chasing and playing on the street with windmills. Hawkers on both sides of the street are shouting constantly, and the juggling groups in the corner attract people's attention. The cheers are endless. Affectionate men and women There was a river lamp next to the "Yingxin River". Next to the arch bridge, a windy man held a wine pot in his hand and looked at the river lamp in the river. The river lamp emitted a warm fire, echoing his star-like bright eyes. The sad color of the man's eyes made the far-fetched smile at the corners of his mouth look so desolate. He was dressed in black, with a slight smile on his handsome face. The river lamp beside him did not light up, as if he was waiting for someone, which made passers-by want to look at him more.
Who knows that the person he is waiting for has already passed away with the breeze. With the passage of time, the thoughts in his heart have already become obsession. He has to wait until the end of this world.
At this time, Qingning turned into a man's dress. She was dressed in blue and carried a white burden on her shoulders. Looking at such a lively Qingcheng, she did not bother to sneak out of the royal palace. You know, since she returned to the royal palace from Qingya Valley, she has never taken a step and listened to the mansion in the morning. The maid said so vividly. Under the trend of curiosity, after calculating the days, she changed into men's clothing, sneaked out, and took a day to get here. Fortunately, she caught up in time.
At the first time I saw it today, it was true. Walking on such a lively street, I couldn't help but secretly praise her in my heart. This time, I didn't disappoint her.
Qingning was in a happy mood, and naturally had a smile on his face. He walked to a light cart selling lanterns and took a fancy to a peony-shaped lantern at a glance. As soon as she picked it up, a slender jade hand also appeared in her sight. Qingning raised his head doubtfully, saw a quiet-looking woman, and then looked at the flowers in her hand. Deng smiled awkwardly, "So the girl also likes this river lamp."
The woman looked at the handsome man, and her face couldn't help but blush. She shook her head gently. "The lantern was picked up by the prince first. Naturally, it was the prince."
"If a gentleman doesn't take away his love, will this river lamp be given to the girl?"
Hearing Qingning say this, the woman's face was shocked, and her cheeks turned crimson. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Qingning couldn't help but blush on her face. She thought that this simple woman must be wrong. She was originally a daughter. She also knew the saying that she gave the lantern to find marriage, but she forgot her appearance. She didn't have a good heart and didn't want to make more trouble. "Girl, goodbye." After saying that, she quickly handed her the lantern in her hand. After a polite smile, she wanted to turn around and leave.
"May I ask the name of the prince?"
Qingning didn't expect that anyone would ask her name at all. She was stunned and turned around gently. Thinking that the name Qingning could no longer be used, she saw the nightingale embroidered on the woman's pink coat and immediately replied, "My name is Blue Bird."
The woman smiled gently, looked at the lanterns in her palm, raised her head again, and waved her hand gently, "Goodbye, prince."
Qingning nodded politely, turned around, and then breathed a long sigh of relief and walked towards the Yingxin River.
At the other end of the street, two handsome and beautiful men walked one after another. The man walking in front of them was dressed in white. His indifferent eyes were indeed like snow. The indifferent appearance made people secretly afraid. The man walking behind him was expressionless, and his dark green clothes were gently raised in the night wind.
"Sir, the inn has already been arranged. You and I will stay here first. There are still some distances. Please don't be impatient." The cloud guard's voice was very low. Looking at this indifferent man, he had never smiled in three years.
Qingning saw Hua Fang next to the arch bridge across the river. I haven't seen him for a long time. He still looks like this, but the baptism of time can't wash his freedom. He smiled bitterly, star-like eyes looked at the water, looked up and drank all the wine in the glass.
Mo Qing.
It's been three years. I've been waiting for you. Will you have that accidental stare?
Qingning slowly walked to him, sat next to him, and gently patted him on the shoulder. "Huafang, you can't leave me without the river lamp this time, otherwise my sister will be unhappy."
Hua Fang turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at Qingning's resolute eyes. He didn't say a word. He just gently lit the river lamp with a fire fold. He stood up and walked to the path along the Yingxin River. His erratic eyes suddenly stopped somewhere. Qingning followed him with the river lamp and followed his eyes. He saw a white on the other side. The man in clothes is squatting on the other side with a river lamp.
Zhong Xuanyu squatted on the riverside and slowly put the river lamp in his palm into the water. The ripples slowly flowed to the middle of the river. His eyes were reflected by the light of the river lamp. His obsidian-like eyes were refracted by the water waves and emitted starlight. He stared brightly. He stared at the river lamp and pulled out a smile.
He stood up and took a deep breath to stop the ** in his eyes. Ning'er, this familiar name has been rolling in his mind, repeating...
His eyes looked at the river lamp flowing to the other side of the river, but they met a pair of familiar eyes. For a moment, all his thoughts stopped. He just looked at her in a moment. The night wind rolled up his hair, making his resolute eyes deeply written into her heart. She looked at the elegant and unruly man on the opposite bank, and her heart moved inexplicably. .
The same is true of Qingning. When she looked into his eyes, she was stunned for a moment. The river lamp had slowly flowed far away with the river, but their eyes did not move away at all.
After Zhong Xuanyu saw his appearance clearly, he couldn't help sneering, and then said to the man behind him, "Yun, am I confused? Unexpectedly, a man was recognized as her.
The man behind him looked at his slightly trembling back and didn't know what to say, so he had to take a step forward, "Master, let's go."
Zhong Xuanyu shook his head and nodded again.
Qingning couldn't help suspecting that it was because he hadn't seen a man for a long time. He only blamed the man in the family for his appearance. Now he is really a little crazy to see such a cold and beautiful appearance.
She rubbed her face and comforted herself in her heart. Suddenly, her body was light, and the burden on her shoulders was pulled away. At such a speed, she was not prepared. As she tilted her body, a dark shadow flashed. In front of her was the Yingxin River. With her sound, she also remembered that she had become a drowned chicken in her mind. .
Hua Fang frowned and chased after him, noting Qingning at all.
In an instant, Zhong Xuanyu looked over when he heard the sound. The body that was about to fall into the water on the opposite side made his heart tremble. He stepped into the river without hesitation and flew a few steps to the other side. A second before she fell into the water, he caught her body and walked on the river bank.
Qingning was still in shock. She pulled one hand and gasped. She looked up and saw that the man on the other side of the river had appeared in front of her. His warm palm touched her cold hand because of frightenedness, which made her feel a little relieved. She looked at him in a daze. The second she just fell into the water, she clearly remembered. What? She covered her chest and suddenly opened her eyes wide. No, my Xiao is still in the burden!
"Excuse me, is there anything important in the prince's burden?" The man's unhurried voice came. She looked at him and shook her head. She thought, anyway, the Chinese side chased him and would definitely send it to the house. There was no need to worry. She shook her head with the mentality that more is better than less than less.
"It's just some broken silver and clothes. There is nothing important, but thank you for your help. How dare you call this master?" Qingning pulled back his hand quietly. After tidying up his clothes, he smiled politely.
"Sir, let's go there quickly. We should be followed."
Qingning saw the man behind him suddenly open his mouth without anger, and there was still a polite smile on his face.
"Mo Yun." His cold voice was extremely clear.
Qingning smiled and said nothing, and arched her hand again to show her gratitude. When she was about to say her name, she found that the two had flown to the other side of the river, and her figure gradually faded away with the pace...
She shook her head with a wry smile, and then found that the noisy streets seemed to be quieter at some point. The children playing and running were gone, and the light of the river on the river seemed to be weaker. She put away her smiling face and quietly stared at the river lamp. The light of the river lamp reflected her eyes red, and she The tears on her face passed quietly. Looking at the starry night sky, her heart was such nothingness. She felt that she had forgotten the most important person and thing in her heart. No wonder she was not strong enough to forget so easily.
She turned around, smiled again, and slowly walked to the busiest inn at the moment...
At the same time, in the depths of the palace, in the Ningye Pavilion, there was an anonymous and expressionless standing aside. There were five clear fingerprints on his left face. Ning Ye was angry, and the porcelain on the ground was broken. Several little maids cleaned silently. No one dared to say one more word.
"If I hadn't found out earlier, wouldn't you have told me about the emperor's departure from the palace? What's the use of being the general manager of the university? Do you think your wings are so hard that you don't have to rely on me anymore? Don't think who promoted you. Even now, I can still make you die!" Ning Ye's tricky voice sounded, and there was a horrible look in his eyes. Looking at the nameless, he raised his hand and hit him in the face again.
He raised his head and looked at her coldly without saying a word of rebuttal.
Seeing the nameless eyes, Ning Ye unconsciously stepped back half a step, as if he was angry and pointed to the door, "Get out of here, get out of here!"
