Opening the door, Jiuran Ling found Nalan Xice sitting in a pavilion not far away. There were various desserts on the stone table, and the fragrance of the tea was rising. Nalan Xice's usual white robe was replaced by a purple robe that looked less elegant and more noble. He was holding a teacup and waiting for her with a faint smile. When he saw Jiu Ran Ling come out, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Jiu Ran Ling secretly laughed in her heart, then she stepped forward and bowed to Nalan Xice without batting an eyelid.
"Miss Qian, before you go to the lantern festival, eat something to fill your stomach.”
"Since Young Master Nalan is so thoughtful, then Qian Ling will respectfully accept your request.”Jiu Ranling sat opposite him. Her every move was gentle.
Nalan Xice seemed to be frightened by her and stared at her blankly. The teacup stopped in mid-air. Jiu Ranling tilted her head and looked at him for a while. Seeing that he still did not come back to his senses, she smiled."Young Master Nalan, it's rare for me to be a lady. If you were to be stunned like this, you wouldn't be giving me face!”
A crisp voice rang in Nalan Xice's ears. That familiar teasing finally made Nalan Xice's eyes focus. He put down the teacup with a faint smile and looked at Jiu Ranling's evil smile. He said somewhat helplessly,""Woman, if you didn't spoil the mood, it would be a beautiful picture.”
Jiuran Ling casually threw a piece of thousand-layer pastry into her mouth.""Unfortunately, I have always been arrogant.”
Nalan Xice did not answer. He smiled at the woman in front of him, the woman who always said that he was arrogant.
Jiu Ran Ling ate a little before she wiped her hands with the towel that Pin 'er gave her. She stood up and said,""Let's go."
"Yes." Nalan Xice nodded." As for your maidservant, how about you hand her over to Pioneer Heaven?”
Jiuranling had no objections. Lian Pitian was Nalan Xice's personal guard, and Pin 'er had a good relationship with him these days.
Although Hui Province wasn't like the imperial city where the Tian family was located, nor was it like Jin Province and Lian Province where Qian Li and Nalan, the two rich families, supported it, Hui Province and Tai Province Mei Luoshu was also a very resourceful person. Under his leadership, Hui Province gradually developed into a prosperous place.
"Yun City's Lantern Festival is also a major event among the people. On this night, the girls will hold the lanterns to pray for the people in their hearts.”The main street of Yun City was illuminated by the sparkling lights, and the faces of the people were full of smiles. Looking around, there were many young girls walking in groups, laughing and laughing, holding colorful lights in their hands without exception. Jiu Ranling and Nalan Xice walked side by side. Nalan Xice gave a simple introduction to Jiu Ranling.
"Although it's a little superstitious, this is also the kind of feelings that the girls have for the people they care about. Most of the time, it wasn't that they really cared whether the blessing was effective or not, or whether the gods could see it. Having this heart was more important than anything else.”Jiuran Ling smiled and bought a lamp from the vendor." This lamp also has the meaning of light. It's perfect to place your hopes on it." Do you feel very warm when you look at the faint light?”
Nalan Xice looked at Jiu Ran Ling, who was reflected in the yellow light. He blinked his large eyes at him. His dark pupils seemed to be able to see through everything, but the smile on his face seemed to be able to soothe all wounds.
"It's very warm." Nalan Xice smiled unconsciously.”
Jiu Ranling's smile grew wider. She played with the lamp and walked two steps. Seeing many girls gathered by the river, she could not help but look over curiously.
The river wasn't wide, but there were sparks everywhere. Hundreds of small flames danced in front of Jiu Ran Ling, making her feel intoxicated and fascinated.
"That's a boat light." Nalan Xice stood behind her and said softly," The girls put the boat lanterns with their wishes written on them into the river, hoping that the River God would grant them their wish.”
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
"You like it?" Nalan Xice passed a boat lamp to Jiu Ranling as if he was performing a magic trick. Under her stunned gaze, there was a doting smile in his eyes that even he himself did not notice." If you like it, go ahead."”
Jiu Ranling rushed to the river excitedly. She held the brush that Nalan Xice had given her and pondered for a while.
"Why not?" Nalan Xice squatted down beside her.
"When it comes to making a wish, I don't know what to make.”Jiu Ran Ling was a little depressed.
Nalan Xice didn't say anything, nor did he rush her. He just waited quietly.
Jiu Ran Ling supported her cheeks and pondered for a long time. Then, with a smile, she wrote down two words very piously.
Peace.
"I thought you would have more lofty ambitions.”
"Ambition?" Jiu Ranling carefully blew the ink dry." I'm not an ambitious person. What fame and power? It was not as important as living a safe life.”
Nalan Xice laughed in spite of himself. Those who were used to being poor would never be satisfied if they did not go to the peak of the world to take a look.”
Jiu Ran Ling smiled faintly and sent the boat lantern into the river.""Young Master Nalan is right. Now that you mention it, I feel like I'm doing something wrong.”
Nalan Xice held his breath. At this moment, Jiuran Ling looked a little dazed, as if her soul was going to leave with the boat lamp. He quickly reached out to grab her.
Jiu Ranling turned around and saw the struggle in Nalan Xice's eyes. She was slightly stunned and then confused.
Nalan Xice realized that his actions were inappropriate and quickly let go. His gaze fell on the ship lights that were drifting further and further away. He changed the topic a little and said,"Miss Qian, who exactly are you promising to?”
Jiu Ran Ling followed Nalan Xice's gaze and looked at the boat that was swaying in the river. She smiled mysteriously.""Many people."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nalan Xice suddenly grabbed onto Jiu Ran Ling's body. She froze and was about to speak when Nalan Xice stopped her.""Shh, don't talk! I can feel the killing intent."
"Those people who are monitoring us are finally preparing to make a move.”Jiu Ran Ling muttered and suddenly raised her head." Let's go somewhere far away. Don't involve innocent people!"”
"Yes." Nalan Xice hugged her, and with a lift of his breath, the two of them leaped up.
"If it wasn't for the tense atmosphere, I would have screamed in excitement. It was not often that one could experience the feeling of flying.”There was a burst of exclamations behind him, probably from the girls who were envious. Jiu Ranling was lying in Nalan Xice's arms, but she was joking.
" You woman..." Nalan Xice's helpless voice came from the top of Jiu Ran Ling's head. Then, she heard his muffled laughter.
Jiu Ranling pinched him and said shamelessly,""Young Master Nalan, it's fine for me to fish in troubled waters. We are still being hunted down. If you lose your breath, we won't be offering sacrifices to the River God. Instead, we'll be giving those assassins what they want.”
"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe." Nalan Xice patted her shoulder.”
Jiu Ran Ling pursed her lips and smiled. It seemed that she would always feel at ease with him around.
