Chapter 346 I really want to

On top of the tall building, the night wind is blowing wildly.

Song Wan'er raised her hands high, her sleeves fluttering in the night wind. She squinted her eyes and looked at the night sky. The building was really high, as if the bright moon and stars could be easily reached out.

Huo Yanran imitated Song Wan'er and raised her hands high to embrace the wind, the stars and the moon.

Standing here and looking around, you can take in the prosperity of the entire city, the towering palaces, and the lights of thousands of homes.

The lights danced, as free as the wind blowing towards you.

Huo Yanran smiled and asked, "Song Wan'er, what are you thinking about?"

Song Wan'er withdrew her hand and glanced at the Thirteenth Princess. "I was thinking... how nice it is for the stars and the moon to stay in the sky. Why do people always want to pick them down?"

The lights on the building were flickering in the night wind, but the girl's eyes were very clear.

Huo Yanran looked into Song Wan'er's eyes, and after a while she smiled and said, "Because people are always greedy."

A greedy person wants to take everything he sees.

Once you have a little power, you want more money and power.

Even the emperor is no exception.

The soldiers were guarding downstairs, while Jinshu Luoshang and the two palace maids retreated to the steps.

On the rooftop of the huge Zhaixing Tower, only Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er were sitting on the ground. Looking up, they could see the stars and the bright moon, and looking down, they could see the fireworks of the world.

The two chatted as usual.

Song Wan'er felt in her heart that even if she married Jiang Hao, the marriage would not last long, and she could just wait for the right time to divorce, so she did not tell the princess about this idea.

Huo Yanran felt that her marriage to Beili was a foregone conclusion, and bringing it up would only add to her troubles. It would be better for her to tell Wan'er something happy.

They talked about whatever came to their mind, just like when they were staying in the Chang'an Palace.

Even if the sky falls, my brothers will hold it up.

With Chunzhi helping them take care of everything, they live comfortably and happily every day.

Unfortunately, good days are always so short.

Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er were talking when they suddenly said in unison:

"I miss my sister-in-law so much!"

"I miss my sister so much..."

After the words fell, the two looked at each other at the same time, their eyes full of longing.

Whether it is Yicui Pavilion or Zhaixing Tower, they are places I wanted to go but couldn’t before. After actually visiting them, I found that they are just like that.

On the contrary, the most pleasant days always pass by inadvertently.

At that time I thought it was just normal, but now when I think back on it, I realize that it might have been the happiest time in my life.

"Princess." Song Wan'er said, suddenly standing up, "Let's go to the Chang'an Palace."

Although my sister and Prince Chang'an are not in the capital, the palace is still there. It would be nice to visit the courtyard where they lived before.

"Walk."

Huo Yanran stood up and pulled Song Wan'er downstairs without saying a word.

The palace maids followed, reminding them, "Princess, please go slower. Be careful not to fall!"

Jin Shu Luo Shang also hurried downstairs, "Miss...it's late at night, where are you going?"

Song Wan'er smiled and turned back and said, "Don't ask, just follow me."

They stayed in Zhaixing Tower for a long time. It was now deep in the night and the streets were empty. The carriage passed through the silent long street and arrived at the gate of Chang'an Palace.

The owner of the palace is not here, and the gate is closed.

Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er stepped forward at the same time. The guard at the gate recognized them immediately and saluted hurriedly, "Greetings to the Thirteenth Princess, Miss Song."

"No need to be polite."

Huo Yanran was about to ask them to report to the housekeeper and open the door to let them in, but before she could finish her words, she saw the guards at the door turn around and say, "Open the door quickly, the princess and Miss Song are home."

When Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er heard the word "go home", they couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in their noses.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the palace opened from the inside.

A maid came with a lantern to light the way for them. Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er walked into the Chang'an Palace hand in hand. Not long after they walked around the screen wall and into the corridor, housekeeper Cheng and Yuzhu heard the news and came out to greet them.

Song Wan'er felt a little guilty when she thought about disturbing so many people at such a late hour. "The princess and I just wanted to come over and take a look. There's no need to bother you."

Housekeeper Cheng laughed and said, "Miss Song, what are you talking about? The princess said that the Chang'an Palace is your home. You can go home whenever you want. We all work in the palace, so why bother?"

Yuzhu said, "Before leaving Beijing, my sister specifically instructed that the Princess and Wan'er's courtyard be kept in pristine condition, with someone sweeping it daily, just waiting for you to come back and live there."

Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er were so moved that they didn't know what to say.

Chunzhi went to Xizhou, but he was still worried about them and made such arrangements early on.

Seeing that they were silent, Yuzhu asked softly, "You came here so late, are you missing your sister?"

Huo Yanran was still a little embarrassed to admit it.

Song Wan'er nodded, "Yeah."

Yuzhu asked again, "Are you hungry? My sister and I have learned how to make dragon beard noodles. They taste about 70% similar. I'd like to make some for you to try."

"OK."

Song Wan'er agreed without thinking. She had lost her appetite for food and drink because of those vulgar men in Yicui Pavilion, and she had been admiring the wind and moon in Zhaixing Tower for so long that she was already hungry.

Huo Yanran was also hungry. After hearing what Yuzhu said, she immediately smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more."

Yuzhu said, "Then go back to the yard and wait. I'll bring it to you when it's ready."

"good."

Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er responded in unison and walked briskly back to the courtyard where they lived.

Butler Cheng transferred several maids who had served the princess and Miss Song here to listen to his orders, and told them that returning here would be like returning home.

The courtyard where the two lived was still in its old state, even the furnishings in the house had not been moved. Huo Yanran had new rouge and pearl hairpins added to her dressing table.

There was even the most fashionable notebook placed next to Song Wan'er's pillow.

Song Wan'er hugged the storybook and sobbed, missing her sister even more.

Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er took a night stroll in the palace garden. There were no fireflies at this time of year, but they were lucky enough to encounter a night-blooming cereus blooming in the night.

The fragrance of the Epiphyllum is very light, and it blooms instantly, reaching the extreme of beauty.

Song Wan'er watched the night-blooming cereus blossom, holding her breath for a while before finally breathing. She said with some surprise, "They say that a single bloom of the night-blooming cereus is extremely rare, and that anyone who sees it in full bloom will have good luck. It's a pity that my sister isn't here..."

They picked this Epiphyllum when they were staying in the Chang'an Palace and strolling on the street with Chunzhi. At that time, they said that when the Epiphyllum was about to bloom, they would gather together to watch the flowers bloom at night.

But Chunzhi was thousands of miles away at the moment, and they accidentally encountered the night-blooming cereus.

"Don't feel sorry." Huo Yanran rolled up her sleeves. "Hurry up, brush and ink are ready. I'll paint a picture of the night-blooming cereus and send it to Xizhou for my sister-in-law to see. This way, my sister-in-law won't miss out on such good fortune."

"Okay." Song Wan'er agreed immediately, "I'll hold the lamp for the princess."

The two of them were painting the Epiphyllum in the garden. After they finished painting the Epiphyllum's night bloom, Yuzhu cooked the dragon beard noodles and brought them over.

"The noodles are ready, eat them while they're hot."

Yuzhu put the dragon beard noodles on the table and urged the two to eat them while they were hot.

"Yuzhu, what do you think of my painting of the night-blooming cereus?"

Huo Yanran handed the painting to Yuzhu for appreciation, and then sat at the table with Song Wan'er to eat noodles.

It was late at night, the lights were flickering, and the two of them were eating two bowls of steaming hot noodles. The more they ate, the more they tasted of the food they had missed.

Yuzhu examined the painting carefully for a long time before she began to praise Huo Yanran: "Princess, your painting skills are extraordinary, and your kindness is even more precious. Sister will definitely be delighted to see it."

Even though the person you care about is thousands of miles away, our hearts are connected with each other.
