Mo Xiao's suggestion was not bad. Mo Liao hesitated for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course." Mo Xiao looked at him with a faint smile.

"What do you want me to do?" Mo Liao smiled evilly.

"Come closer!"

Mo Xiao whispered a few words into Mo Liao's ear, and the smile on Mo Liao's lips widened. After a moment, the two separated, Mo Xiao went west, and Mo Liao went east, heading towards Su Bei's shop.

On the west bank of the lake, lights are floating in the lake and there are pairs of people on the lakeside.

Cheng Shi and Su Bei stood by the lake, admiring the beautiful lights.

"The Lantern Festival is really lively!" Su Bei sighed.

Cheng Shi hesitated for a moment before blushing and asking, "Why is Miss Abei traveling alone?"

"No, Yunrou is with me!" Su Bei answered subconsciously.

Cheng Shi was silent. He learned from Chu Youyang that A Bei was the maid of Prince Su. He thought that if a man as devoted as Prince Su was so favored, he would treasure her like a treasure and would not mind her identity. But it seemed that Prince Su was no different from other princes.

He thought about it, then turned and left.

Although it was strange that he walked away silently, Su Bei did not think much about it. He was the prince and a well-known person. According to the rules of that era, it was her blessing to be able to say a few words to her.

She and Yunrou strolled along the lakeside path.

Suddenly, she heard Cheng Shi's embarrassed voice behind her: "Miss Abei, why are you here?"

Su Bei turned around and saw Cheng Shi holding a lotus lantern in his hand. Under the light, the clean-cut boy's cheeks were flushed.

"I thought the prince had gone away for something, so we were just strolling around." Su Bei was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Shi lowered his eyes and handed the lantern to her after a long while. "I just went to buy lanterns. Do you like them, Miss Abei?"

Su Bei was even more embarrassed. What did the prince mean by this? Cheng Shi's ears seemed to turn red, but he hurriedly explained: "We always light lanterns during the Lantern Festival. It is said that it can bring peace!"

Not far away, Chu Younan stood alone, with rage in his eyes.

Ah Bei actually went on a lake cruise with Cheng Shi? Cheng Shi also gave him a lantern? He really wanted to tie that girl back, lock her in Lingfeng Pavilion, and bully her every day until she cried! Lighting lanterns is indeed a way to report safety, and Su Bei didn't want to offend Cheng Shi, so he reached out to take it and said, "Then I will light this lantern for the prince, and I wish the prince peace and happiness."

There was a dark tide in Cheng Shi's eyes.

But before Su Bei's hand touched the lantern, a big hand had already grasped her hand. The voice was full of concern but also hidden anger, "It will be easy for me to find it! Your hands are so cold, and you don't even know to put on more clothes!"

Then Chu Younan took Su Bei into his arms as if to declare his sovereignty, and did not forget to brush the hair at her temples, looking very intimate.

Cheng Shi withdrew his hand in dismay and saluted Chu Younan, "Greetings, Prince Su."

Chu Younan still felt unsatisfied, so he put his arm around Su Bei's shoulders and said, "Your Highness, are you here to light lanterns? Coincidentally, so am I."

Su Bei struggled, but his arms were as strong as copper and iron, and he held her tightly and refused to let go.

Su Bei gave him a sharp look: You! Let go! Chu Younan's eyes were filled with tenderness: I won't let go, what can you do to me? Cheng Shi saw the interaction between the two, and his heart was extremely bitter. He clenched the lotus lantern in his hand and turned his gaze to the other side of the lake.

"Ah! Sky lantern!" Yun Rou suddenly exclaimed.

Su Bei's attention was attracted by her and he also looked towards the other side of the lake.

At first there were only a few, but then there were more and more. The sky lanterns swayed in the wind, rising higher and higher, slowly floating towards this side, it was a beautiful sight.

As it got closer, Su Bei could see clearly that there was a strange word "North" written on all four sides of the lamp.

"Abei, do you still like it?" Chu Younan held her in his arms, and his soft voice sounded in her ears.

Su Bei was stunned, "Did you put up these lights?"

Chu Younan glanced at the lonely lantern in Cheng Shi's hand and said in a deep voice, "I lit it for you. During the Lantern Festival, the girl who gets the most lanterns will be envied by all the girls in the capital for a whole year."

Su Bei felt inexplicably sweet in his heart, and the pair of copper and iron arms seemed to soften a little, and the embrace was warm.

Cheng Shi listened and lowered his head in disappointment. He found out that Su Bei had been in the mansion for almost a year, but was still just a maid. He also saw Su Bei boating on the lake alone, and thought that Prince Su didn't care about her at all.

He never thought that he would fall in love with a maid.

Chu Younan withdrew his gaze from his face, with a smug look on the corners of his lips. He disappeared for a while because he went to arrange the matter of the sky lanterns.

He turned her around, looked her in the eyes, and said tenderly, "Abei, this year you will be the one envied by all the girls in Beijing, and next year..."

The love words had just begun when a cheerful voice came over: "Third brother! It's you!"

Chu Youyang was seen running towards him quickly, with Xue Jinrong following not far behind him.

"I saw the word 'North' written on the sky lantern from a distance, and I guessed it was you who released it!" Chu Youyang's face was full of joy.

Being interrupted, Chu Younan's lips unconsciously lowered, "Why are you here too?"

"You are allowed to come. Jinrong and I will come and play too!" Chu Youyang was still as happy as a child, but the moment he turned his head and glanced at Xue Jinrong, his eyes suddenly became shy.

Xue Jinrong was very calm and generous. He stepped forward and said, "This sky lantern is so beautiful! Ah Bei is really the center of attention today!"

Su Bei smiled awkwardly. His heart was sweet, but he looked embarrassed, especially when he thought of Cheng who was timidly holding the lotus lantern.

Looking up, Cheng Shi had already walked away carrying the lotus lantern, his back looking desolate and lonely.

She struggled to get out of Chu Younan's arms, stood with Xue Jinrong, and whispered, "Seeing that you are about to get married, how do you feel?"

Xue Jinrong, who was so calm and composed just now, suddenly blushed and tapped her on the arm, "You are making fun of me!" Then she squatted by the lake.

These little kids really love to blush!

Su Bei sighed softly and squatted down.

The wind was blowing in this direction, and many lotus lanterns were floating in the lake. Several of them floated to the shore. Su Bei picked up one to play with it, and saw the words "Jinrong" written on it. He picked up another one, and it was still the same.

"You're not bad either!" Su Bei handed the lantern to Xue Jinrong with a smile, then turned to look at Chu Youyang, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is so interesting!"

“Well…” Chu Youyang raised his chin proudly, but the next moment he realized that Su Bei was talking about the lotus lanterns floating in the lake, and he was stunned.

He was only thinking about taking Xue Jinrong out to eat and have fun, and he even forgot about lighting the lanterns. So who lit the lanterns?

Seeing his expression, Chu Younan knew that there was something fishy going on, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, go over there and buy you something delicious!"

Xue Jinrong looked at Chu Youyang with a sweet smile, and Su Bei also had a barely perceptible smile on his lips.

Chu Younan also curled up the corners of his lips. Although Ah Bei didn't say anything, he was very happy in his heart. He was even secretly competing with Xue Jinrong, thinking that sky lanterns were cooler than flower lanterns!

They had only walked a short distance when they saw Mo Xiao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, coming over. He stared at Xue Jinrong and asked, "Jinrong, do you like the lanterns in the lake?"
