Chapter 142 Colorful Phoenix Lantern
When Shen Shurong returned home, the two little ones were already dressed up and waiting for her.
Seeing her come back, he slid off the chair and ran over to her, calling "Mom" with a smile in his eyes.
The four small buns tied with red hairbands on the top of the head kept shaking as the short legs ran.
Shen Shurong smiled and squatted down, holding them in his arms, one on the left and one on the right.
As long as she saw the two of them, her heart was at peace.
If he was really cruel enough to abandon the three of them, she would raise their child alone.
He can keep it for her, and she will not betray him.
Even when Xie Yunzhao was not around, they would still practice martial arts, and everything was the same as when he was around.
Chen Shurong's thoughts did not diminish in the slightest as each arrow was shot out.
She missed him very much.
I miss his strong embrace and his lingering kiss.
She missed the sweet words he said when he was passionate, and her deep breaths whispering in his ears.
Shen Zhixi's whip was already short. If he were there, he would definitely find a more suitable one for his daughter.
Ayi also lost his human stake and could only use a small wooden sword to chop the stake.
All the servants would feel sad from time to time. The princess is so good, and the two young masters are so cute, it shouldn't be incomplete.
Life must go on. Like the princess, they are unwilling to believe that the Second Master is gone. Perhaps one day, the man who always sticks to the princess will come back and embrace his lover.
On the seventh day, shipping operations resumed at the dock and street stalls reopened to welcome customers.
All the buildings in Jia County are newly built and very ornamental.
Today it is also a hub for trade, and many people from nearby counties and cities come here to visit.
For this year's Lantern Festival, Chen Shurong organized a grand event to liven up this new county town.
When that day finally came, she backed out and was unwilling to go.
There's no other reason, just that he's not with me.
But the two children were in high spirits. They had been looking forward to it for a long time. They were at an age when they loved fun and were very curious. Chen Shurong did not want to spoil his children's fun, so he put on casual clothes and went there.
The streets and alleys of Jia County are bustling with people, young and old, men and women, coming out to see the lights.
People walked around the Lantern Festival, admiring the various lanterns and laughing happily.
Not only that, there are also dragon dances, lion dances, stilt walking and other performances on the streets, adding a joyful atmosphere to the Lantern Festival.
The two little guys couldn't keep up with the sight, so they were held by the two guards. Their little heads turned around, their fingers pointing at different new things, and they kept mumbling something, showing they liked it very much.
Shen Shurong always had a smile on her face, but the maids close to her knew that if the Second Master was around, the princess would have many different expressions.
She would laugh, get angry, and even act childish, as long as she had a lantern.
Either way, there are people willing to share.
At the end of the street, at an angle where the child couldn't see, Chen Shurong couldn't help it, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
She didn't allow herself to be sad for too long and didn't want to show her bad emotions in front of her children, but she knew that she couldn't hold on any longer.
With tears in her eyes, one beam of light could spread into many beams in her eyes.
She raised her head and moved her gaze along the street, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, the beam of light changed from a single color to a colorful and complex one.
Something flashed through Chen Shurong's mind. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief. When he looked up again, he saw a colorful phoenix lantern.
The memories she had just recalled came back to her mind again, and the expectation that had never disappeared from her mind drove her to walk quickly towards the source of the light.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, she will go and find it.
The maids and guards followed closely. Only Yinzhi Suihan knew why she did so. They also saw the phoenix lantern.
Arriving at the stall, Yinzhi was the first to ask the stall owner: "Who made this lantern? How much is it?"
The stall owner smiled and said, "Excuse me, dear guest. I made this lantern, but I'm not selling it."
“You can look at something else.”
The light that lit up in Chen Shurong's eyes suddenly went out. She was overthinking.
Seeing her lost, Yinzhi's eyes were sore with heartache. She took out a purse of silver and said, "I'll buy all your lanterns. Can you sell them now?"
The stall owner still calmly shook his head and said, "Not for sale."
Chen Shurong grabbed Yinzhi and said, "Let's go. Things have changed." It was sad to look at the things she bought back.
No one will ignore her anymore.
Yinzhi's tears flowed instantly. Since her son-in-law was not around, couldn't she bring a lantern back to the princess?
Sui Han's tears were rolling in her eyes. She walked directly to the store owner and asked coldly: "Think carefully, this is Princess Yongjia, are you really not going to sell it?"
The shopkeeper was suddenly stunned. Princess Yongjia?
That person said that this colorful phoenix lantern could only be given to Princess Yongjia. He sneered in his heart at the time, wondering how he could possibly meet the princess.
"I'm asking you a question!" Sui Han asked again.
The shopkeeper's expression changed in an instant. He quickly took off the colorful phoenix lantern and offered it to her with flattering hands: "I am blind. The princess herself is here. I won't sell it to you. I am willing to give it to you."
Chen Shurong took it personally. She had just said that things had changed, but when she really got it, she felt a little better.
"Princess, you have to spend money to buy things, let alone such beautiful lanterns." Chen Shurong gestured to Yinzhi to pay the money.
Yinzhi left the purse behind. As long as it could make the princess happy, this little bit of silver meant nothing.
When the two little ones saw such beautiful lanterns, they rushed to ask for them. They thought their mother bought them for them.
Since there was only one, they started arguing.
Shen Shurong shook his head: "I won't give it to anyone, this is mine, you have already bought many."
"Shame on you, mother, for snatching a child's lantern." Shen Zhixi chuckled.
Xie Zhiyi also laughed, and then they saw many animal lanterns, and they bought a lot more.
Shen Zhixi likes cats, like the two cute cats he has at home, and he also likes foxes, which have beautiful ears.
Xie Zhiyi likes tigers, the king of the forest, which are very majestic.
When they returned to the princess's mansion, the room was filled with lanterns. The two little ones didn't want to sleep and didn't go to bed. They just looked at this and that in the room, and finally agreed that the phoenix lantern was the most beautiful.
"Xie Zhiyi! Shen Zhixi! What time is it?"
The two little ones pouted and took small steps to the bed. Their mother was so fierce.
After finally coaxing the child to sleep, Shen Shurong's eyes fell on the phoenix lantern.
She stood up, put on her shoes, walked over, took down the lantern and hung it over the bed.
That time too, he saw that she liked it, so he hung it on the head of the bed so that it would illuminate them while they were doing something embarrassing.
The corners of Shen Shurong's mouth curled up in an arc of happiness, but two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Who can say that the happiness we once had was not happiness?
Staring at the phoenix lantern for a long time, he would subconsciously wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the cuffs of his white inner garment. Can his...soul see this lantern?
