Chapter 49 Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 19
"I think so too. There must have been a lot of vendors selling glutinous rice balls, sweet fermented rice balls, cloud cakes, osmanthus cakes, poria cocos cakes, dragon beard candy, and candied hawthorns that day..."
Song Xinning became increasingly hungry as she talked, and began to name the foods she wanted to eat.
Shangguan Qian couldn't help but chuckle, "What you're saying makes me drool too. People in the palace can't go out freely, especially since I'm an outsider bride."
However, there are still many years in the future, so it's not impossible to go and see her. It's a pity that Sister Song will leave after recovering from her illness, so she won't have the chance to see her.
Shangguan Qian seemed to be saying it casually, but she was actually subtly trying to pique Song Xinning's interest in the lantern festival.
She naturally hoped that Song Xinning would take the initiative to suggest to Gong Shangjiao and the others that they go to see the lantern festival.
Song Xinning went, and Gong Yuanzheng will definitely go too, not to mention his still unclear thoughts.
Song Xinning is a guest, so they wouldn't just let the servants follow her; she might come along too.
Even if she can't go, there's still Gong Ziyu. Zheng Nanyi will find a way to get Gong Ziyu to agree to take her to the lantern festival.
“I can do it! I’m not a palace gate person, they can’t just stop me! Since I’ve run into them, I should check out the lantern festival here! Besides, I can’t just wander around the palace gates.”
My life revolves around the clinic and the women's quarters every day, with the occasional trip to the Corner Palace. I'm getting so bored! I've been at the palace gates for so many days and haven't even visited the Old Dust Valley once.
Song Xinning went along with Shangguan Qian's wishes and pretended to be very interested in the lantern festival.
"That's true. Once you leave the palace, you probably won't come back. You'll only get to see it this once, and it'll always be a bit of a regret if you don't."
Shangguan Qian looked at Song Xinning, who was eating pastries with her head down, her eyes full of smiles.
She's so easy to coax. If the Lonely Mountain Sect were still around, I'd probably be in the same boat as her.
Children who grow up in love will always have some similarities.
Unfortunately... there are no "what ifs".
The sunlight streaming through the window shone on her, and although it was warm, she only felt cold.
Such beautiful sunshine shouldn't belong to her; darkness is where she should be.
Clinic
I'm staring... I'm staring...
Song Xinning lay on the table, her eyes fixed on Gong Yuanzheng, who was fiddling with the medicinal herbs.
"You've been staring at me for the entire time it takes for an incense stick to burn, what exactly are you trying to do!"
Gong Yuanzheng was quite annoyed and embarrassed. Had he done something wrong today? They'd been watching him intently, and he'd even mixed up the medicinal herbs several times!
“I want to go to the Lantern Festival!” Song Xinning said, enunciating each word clearly.
"What's so interesting about the lantern festival? If you want a lantern, I can make one for you."
As he lifted the lantern, Gong Yuanzheng's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"You can make lanterns too!" Song Xinning was distracted.
"Also?" Gong Yuanzheng looked at Song Xinning, somewhat curious. "You can do that too?"
Song Xinning smiled shyly, "I only know how to color and decorate. Every year, my brothers will make me a rabbit lantern."
I was in charge of decorating and coloring. In the storeroom in my yard, there's a shelf specifically for storing the lanterns my brothers made.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Song Xinning with a smile in his eyes and said:
"In that case, you won't receive a rabbit lantern for the Lantern Festival this year. I'm going to make a lantern for my brother anyway, so it's not impossible for me to make a rabbit lantern for you to get a feel for it."
"I want to be in charge of coloring and decorating!" Song Xinning raised her hand; she also wanted to participate in making the lanterns.
“You can color your little rabbit yourself, but I’ll do my own coloring for my brother’s,” Gong Yuanzheng replied.
"Okay, I'm going to take it to the lantern festival!" Song Xinning shook her head happily, having acquired another rabbit lantern.
