Chapter 23 Xuanying was ruined
Neither of them mentioned what happened just now. Pei Yan said that he could pretend he didn't know. Lu An just went out to buy a kite and came back late.
Lu An handed a candied haws to Pei Yan. Of course, Eunuch De and the two guards also had one. Lu An took a bite and it tasted sour and sweet, just like the ones in modern times.
Eunuch De brought over two river lanterns and said that it was almost the end and that the end of the street would be the river lanterns. You could write your wishes on them and there would be paper and pen at the end.
When the group walked to the end, they found that there were indeed quite a few people releasing river lanterns, men and women, women and children, presenting a scene of peace and prosperity for the country.
[It seems that Pei Yan is still a good emperor]
【Look at this thriving scene】
Pei Yan remained calm as he listened to Lu An's praise.
The two walked to the upper reaches of the river.
At this time, the night is as dark as ink, with stars twinkling, and the wind blows gently along the river, bringing a hint of early autumn coolness. On the river, river lanterns float slowly, and the candlelight sways, reflecting the tiny ripples on the water, as if the stars have fallen into the earth. Pei Yan stood by the river, holding a lotus-shaped river lantern in his hand. The wick swayed slightly, casting a layer of warmth on his cold eyebrows.
Lu An stood beside him, also holding a river lantern in his hand. The lantern paper was light blue and had a crane with its wings spread painted on it. He looked down at the wick with a smile on his lips. The river breeze blew through the ends of his hair, lifting a few strands of hair, making them look particularly soft.
Eunuch De handed the paper and pen to the two of them. Pei Yan turned his head to look at Lu An, his voice low and gentle. "What did you wish for?"
Lu An looked up at him, the candlelight reflected in his eyes, as if there were stars twinkling. He chuckled and said, "If you make a wish out loud, it won't work."
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Do you believe this?"
"Believe it or not, it's always a thought." Lu An lowered his head and gently placed the river lantern into the water. With a light push of his fingers, the river lantern slowly drifted away with the current. The candlelight reflected on his face, appearing particularly soft.
Pei Yan looked at his profile, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, put the river lantern in his hand into the water, and whispered: "Then I might be one."
Lu An turned to look at him, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "What did you wish for?"
Pei Yan curled the corners of his lips, his eyes fell on the river lanterns in the distance, and he said lightly: "It won't work if you say it out loud."
Lu An was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud. His laughter was clear and especially distinct in the night.
Pei Yan did not respond, but just watched quietly as the river lanterns drifted farther and farther away, and the candlelight gradually merged into the night. His eyes were deep, as if he could see farther through the candlelight.
Lu An stopped talking and just stood beside him, his eyes also fixed on the river. The two stood by the river, the river breeze blew past, causing their clothes to flutter, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Lu An watched the river lanterns fade away and the candlelight flicker in the night. In fact, his wish was very simple: peace and prosperity in the country and safety for the people around him.
It was getting late, and Pei Yan decided to pick up Xuanying and set off back to the palace. Lu An passed by an old lady's stall and saw that it was full of hairpins. Lu An looked at the stall thoughtfully and finally bought all of them.
It was the first time that Pei Yan saw Lu An being so generous, and the things he bought were all hair accessories for little girls. Could it be that he had a little maid in the palace that he liked? He must have known that the eunuchs in the palace had concubines, so it was no wonder that he was reluctant to leave. Maybe he was reluctant to leave a little maid?
The more Pei Yan thought about it, the angrier he became, and a surge of nameless anger rose in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu An's inner voice.
[Xuanying’s hair is so long that it can be tied up. I think he liked the small bun I tied for him last time.]
[There are also many hairpins. I, Lu An, will definitely dress Xuanying up beautifully.]
[How can the most beautiful dog in my great Wei Kingdom not have some jewelry to show off?]
[Did Xuanying see it?] This is the kingdom that your little Anzi has built for you.]
Pei Yan: ………? ? ?
Pei Yan asked Long Qi where Mo Yuan had taken Xuanying. When he heard Long Qi say that Mo Yuan had taken Xuanying to the military camp, a look of sympathy appeared on his face.
Turning around to see Lu An still happily picking out hairpins, Pei Yan really wanted to tell him that Xuan Ying probably wouldn't need them anymore.
When Pei Yan and his companions arrived at the military camp, they saw Mo Yuan and his companions were already drunk.
Li Jizheng hugged Xuanying and knelt in front of him and cried, "Brother Ying, if you hadn't dug me out from the pile of dead bodies without fear of life and death, I would have died long ago. Brother Ying, you have no idea how majestic you were back then, like a god who came down to earth to save me from fire and water. Okay, I won't say anything else, it's all in the wine," he drank it in one gulp.
【who I am? Where am I? What is this doing? 】
At this time, Mo Yuan also staggered over. When Li Ji saw him, he held Mo Yuan's face and said, "Today is a good day. How about we both worship Brother Ying as our godfather? From now on, Brother Ying and I will share the good fortune together, and you will shoulder the difficulties alone. Is that okay?"
When Mo Yuan heard this, he hugged Xuan Ying's head and said proudly, "Okay."
Lu An:………? ? ?
Pei Yan covered his face with one hand and pinched his brows, saying: "Separate those two idiots for me."
Long Wu and Long Liu heard this and quickly stepped forward to pull Li Ji and Mo Yuan apart. During this time, the two men shouted, "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous and touch my godfather?" Then they kicked Mo Yuan and said, "Go bite them, bite them to death."
Li Ji: "Adoptive father."
Mo Yuan: "Godfather~~~~"
[Wow]
[What a wonderful show]
【You guys still know how to play】
After Li Ji and Mo Yuan were stopped by Long Wu and the others, Lu An walked over to see Xuan Ying.
When Lu An approached and saw Xuanying, he understood why Xuanying had not resisted. They actually gave Xuanying wine to drink. Not only that, Xuanying was facing sideways to Lu An just now, so Lu An didn't see that a large area of Xuanying's fur on the other side was burned by fire, as big as a palm.
[Dogs can drink alcohol and won’t die, right?]
[Wuwuwuwu Xuanying, I shouldn’t have abandoned you. You’ve become like this in just a few hours.]
[What should I do with Maomao, what should I do with Xuanying, what should I do with Xuanying's heart]
Lu An looked at Pei Yan aggrievedly: as if asking what to do after Xuanying wakes up? Can Xuanying accept such a huge blow? He is a dog.
Pei Yan also saw that Xuanying's shiny black fur was burnt, but he could only wait until tomorrow when the two guys sobered up to settle the score.
He walked over, picked up Xuanying, frowned and said, "Let's go back to the palace first. As for the other two, go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning after you wake up."
