Chapter 142 Cloud Feather CP Gong Shangjiao 19
Zheng Nanyi's series of questions left Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao bewildered. Upon reflection, they realized that Zheng Nanyi's words made a lot of sense.
The Palace Master and the elders of the Conquest Palace would not allow Zhi Ren to act recklessly. Gong Ziyu's health was also notoriously weak, and he was extremely sensitive to the cold.
Gong Yuanzheng asked, puzzled, "Then why doesn't Zhi Ren clarify this matter?"
"Perhaps the truth will prevail? Perhaps they feel that no one will believe them after they clarify? Or perhaps they have clarified but no one believes them, so these rumors continue to circulate?"
"I'm neither a member of the palace nor a wielder, so I really don't know," Zheng Nanyi said, spreading her hands in frustration. How could she possibly know the actual situation?
On the Lantern Festival, as dusk settles and lanterns are lit, the bustling streets are ablaze with colorful lights, creating an illusion of being immersed in a sea of lights from afar.
The deafening sounds of gongs and drums, the laughter of children, and the fragrant aroma of glutinous rice balls all blend together to create a lively and heartwarming scene.
In the shadows, a tall, elegant man and a gentle, quiet woman stood together. A gentle breeze stirred, causing the hems of their dark blue and light blue dresses to intertwine and separate from time to time.
"What on earth is my brother doing on his expedition? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Zheng Nanyi looked at the lively scene before her, then at herself and Gong Shangjiao standing in the shadows at the alley entrance.
The excitement belongs to them, not to them. How infuriating! What could possibly make Gong Yuanzheng abandon his brother and sister-in-law and go back to get it for himself?!
“Yuanzheng told us not to wait for him, that he would come to us when he returned. You said you had to wait, but then you got impatient.”
Gong Shangjiao had a cold expression, but when he looked at Zheng Nanyi, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
“I’m afraid he’ll cry when he can’t find us. That guy has a childish temper, and there are so many people at the lantern festival, he might not be able to find us.”
Looking at Gong Shangjiao, Zheng Nanyi smiled, her eyes sparkling in the lamplight. "And do you think he'll come here to find us first when he gets back?"
"Do I even need to guess?" Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Had she forgotten that she was Gong Yuanzheng's older brother, who had protected him since childhood? How could she not understand?
Zheng Nanyi rolled her eyes at Gong Shangjiao, "I know, but you still won't make me wait."
Gong Shangjiao hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. He hadn't told her not to wait...
With a sigh, Gong Shangjiao looked at the lantern cart next to him, bought a lotus lantern and handed it to Zheng Nanyi, saying, "How can you see a lantern festival without lanterns?"
"Hmm." Zheng Nanyi took the lamp holder and gently fiddled with the pink lotus lamp to relieve her boredom.
"My brother Yuanzheng is here." Gong Shangjiao said as he saw the figure in the distance, who was also wearing a dark blue robe.
Seeing Gong Yuanzheng running happily towards them with two lanterns in his hand, Zheng Nanyi asked in surprise, "Did you go back and change your clothes on the way?"
Gong Yuanzheng's ears turned red, and he argued, "I accidentally got my clothes dirty!"
Zheng Nanyi looked at Gong Yuanzheng and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, it suits you very well!"
The clothes worn by the three were made from fabric selected by Zheng Nanyi from her private treasury. She drew up the design and had the embroidery workshop make them as gifts for the Lantern Festival.
Don't ask why she doesn't make them herself; she can't make three sets by herself in less than ten days!
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up. "Really!"
Miyazaki: "Hmm, it suits her very well."
“Well…” Zheng Nanyi’s eyes darted around, a sly glint in them, “If you were a few years younger, the three of us standing together would look like a family of three!”
