Zhao Ying was not there, Shangguan Qingyue was lying on the bed with his legs crossed.
[Third Brother asking me out is definitely not a good thing, but I’m really looking forward to it…]
[It's been a while since I fought... Hehe! ]
At the door, "This is the chestnut cake that the eldest lady asked me to bring to the young lady."
Hong Xing looked at the maid in front of her and felt unfamiliar. "Why haven't I seen you before?"
Xitang said slowly, "Originally, I was a third-class servant, but yesterday, the eldest lady asked me to bring her into the house."
Hong Xing didn't doubt what she said, and she stepped aside to lead the way. "Then follow me in!"
"Young lady, the eldest lady sent you a plate of chestnut cakes."
Shangguan Qingyue sat up upon hearing this and asked in surprise, "Chestnut cake! Where is it?"
Xitang bowed and offered it. Shangguan Qingyue was about to ask someone to bring it over when Hong Xing reminded her, "Young lady, you can't eat too much. You can only eat one piece!"
As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Qingyue and Xitang's faces fell at the same time.
Xitang's eyes were dark, this troublesome maid!
Shangguan Qingyue said aggrievedly, "It's just one piece! Sister Hongxing, give me another piece!"
Hong Xing said cruelly, "No! His Highness gave instructions when he left, young lady, that the servants secretly fed you. Being punished is a small matter, but if you have a stomachache, you will be in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qingyue had no choice but to accept his fate. He let Hong Xing take a piece and handed it to him, and the little guy chewed it slowly.
[Wow, it's so delicious, but it's a pity I can't eat more, what a pity! ]
Seeing that Shangguan Qingyue had eaten everything, Xitang pretended to be unsteady when he stood up and poured the remaining chestnut cake on the ground.
"Forgive me, young lady!"
"My chestnut cake!" Shangguan Qingyue felt distressed.
Seeing this, Hong Xing scolded Xitang a few words and then asked someone to clean the floor.
Xitang looked at the disappearing "physical evidence" and curled his lips in satisfaction.
As night fell, Heng Lin was waiting at the mansion gate early, and Shangguan Qingwan was walking towards them holding Shangguan Qingyue's hand.
Shangguan Qingwan was dressed up gorgeously, while Shangguan Qingyue, with a small bun, was dressed very neatly. Shangguan Qingwan asked in a low voice, "Yue'er, why are you dressed like this..."
"Of course it's convenient for fighting..."
"Fight? Who are you fighting with?" Shangguan Qingwan stopped halfway and asked in surprise.
Shangguan Qingyue covered his mouth, [Oh no, I let it slip.]
She quickly tried to make amends, "I saw the situation. If someone bullies us, I'll beat him up!"
Seeing such a small little guy talking about fighting, Shangguan Qingwan couldn't help laughing. She touched the little guy's head and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, Yue'er is the best."
After saying that, he looked at Heng Lin at the door.
Heng Lin was dressed in a moon-white robe, with his hair tied up with a jade crown. He was as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon, and his temperament was as elegant as a flower.
Seeing Henglin looking over, Shangguan Qingwan got a little nervous and asked hurriedly, "Yue'er, am I beautiful tonight?"
Shangguan Qingyue was picking his nose. Upon hearing this, he looked at Shangguan Qingwan carefully and said in a milky voice, "Beautiful!"
"There's no one in their tribe of gods more beautiful than you!"
"What gods?" Shangguan Qingwan questioned slightly, but did not get bothered. Her little sister always had some weird ideas, and she was used to it.
The two sisters stepped forward, and Shangguan Qingwan said generously, "Mr. Heng, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Heng Lin withdrew his gaze from Shangguan Qingwan and said calmly, "No, I just arrived too."
"Then let's go!"
Henglin nodded.
The two people and the child set off, followed by several guards.
Soon they arrived at the street where the flower boat parade was taking place. There were clusters of flowers on both sides, and the sound of people was bustling. The huge crowd was crowded together, mixed with the sound of gongs and drums, making a noisy and unclear sound.
Heng Lin took Shangguan Qingwan to the front row. Because Shangguan Qingyue was short, Heng Lin had to hold her around his neck, with one arm supporting the little baby on his head and the other arm across Shangguan Qingwan's back to separate her from the others.
The accompanying guards watched from a distance.
In the center is a colorful flower boat, on which stand dressed-up "gods" in different postures, all of which are so solemn and majestic that one cannot look directly at them.
Shangguan Qingwan exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the exquisite and magnificent deities. She pointed at a "god" and said loudly, "Look, Mr. Heng, it's so lifelike."
Henglin nodded mysteriously.
Shangguan Qingyue grabbed Henglin's ears with both hands and sat firmly. When he heard the sound, his watery eyes darkened. [Isn't it realistic? It's real!]
"What?" Shangguan Qingwan couldn't hear clearly because of the noise around them. "Yu'er, what did you say?!"
Shangguan Qingyue was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear Shangguan Qingwan's voice.
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Shangguan Qingwan thought she had misheard and continued to watch the parade.
[Wow, interesting, Third Brother really made a big move.]
【Hey, they're all old acquaintances. 】
[It's been so long, and now we're fighting as soon as we meet. How embarrassing...]
A strange smile appeared on Shangguan Qingyue's lips.
Shangguan Qingwan's brows gradually furrowed. "Mr. Heng, I feel something is wrong. Why haven't I seen these gods before?"
Heng Lin thought to himself, the statues of gods you usually see are all imagined by mortals. They are deliberately different from the statues of gods. Even if mortals have seen the true appearance of gods, they will not depict them as they are. That is called blasphemy!
He said, "Perhaps the customs in Huaiyang are different from those in the capital."
"oh……"
"But these gods are so beautiful and lifelike," Shangguan Qingwan smiled innocently at Heng Lin, "It feels like they are about to fly up at any moment."
Heng Lin smiled faintly, and for some reason, he became more patient. He pointed at the parade and introduced them, "Those are the Four Great Emperors of Heaven. Don't be fooled by their stern looks. They are actually more tearful than you."
"That's the Saintess Qitian. She's the illegitimate daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, but she doesn't recognize this father."
"Why?"
"Because..." Heng Lin struggled with his words, wondering how to say it without affecting the reputation of his God Clan. After a long thought, Shangguan Qingyue on his shoulder answered for him, "Because her father was a pervert who molested her mother and gave birth to her. The God Clan is all snobbish and look down on her. They named her a Saint, which was actually a mockery of her mother's infidelity before marriage!"
Shangguan Qingwan frowned, a little angry.
"Isn't this too much?"
Shangguan Qingyue curled his lips, "What's that? They're a race of gods, all show and no substance!"
"Wow, Yue'er, you know idioms now!"
Shangguan Qingyue raised his lips, [Hehe...]
Henglin: ...Is there anyone who cares about me?
Shangguan Qingwan asked, "Hey, how did you know?"
"This..." Shangguan Qingyue and Henglin said tacitly, "I read it in a book!"
"That book? No, Yue'er, can you read?"
"I don't recognize it, but... tell me about it!"
"oh……"
Seeing that Shangguan Qingwan finally believed it, Henglin and Shangguan Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Shangguan Qingwan pointed at a divine figure and said in surprise, "Mr. Heng, look, that goddess looks like Master Xitang!"
