The vendor, with the slick smile typical of businessmen, looked warmly at the distinguished young couple before him.
Di Beiyao stopped and bent down to look at the lanterns on the vendor's stall. The lanterns, with their various shapes and colors, dazzled her.
She tilted her head and looked at Jun Wuji, "Which one do you think looks better?"
"Yao'er, choose whichever one you like," Jun Wuji said with a doting tone.
"But I think they're all so pretty!" She could say she'd never seen these little trinkets before and was fascinated by them.
"Then I'll buy them all," Jun Wuji said calmly.
The vendor was overjoyed upon hearing this, and his eyes shone with eager anticipation as he looked at the two men.
Di Beiyao glanced speechlessly at the man beside him, his eyes filled with blatant accusation, "You're showing off your wealth!"
Jun Wuji's handsome face showed a moment of confusion, then his thin lips parted slightly.
He casually uttered a sentence that almost made Di Beiyao vomit blood on the spot.
"My husband is indeed very wealthy."
Di Beiyao: "..." Shut up! She's dirt poor!
He gritted his teeth in resentment, "Then why don't you give me a raise?"
She, a dignified Left Guard, only receives sixteen taels of silver a month!
Jun Wuji is such a cheapskate! And now he has the nerve to flaunt his wealth to her?!
Jun Wuji chuckled softly and patted Di Beiyao's head.
"What's mine is yours. When we get back, I'll have Qingfeng give you the keys to the manor's treasury. You can use the money inside as you please."
"No, I don't care." As a powerful empress, making money is easy for her, isn't it? She's just a bit lazy.
She pinched her nose, picked out two lotus lanterns from the stall, and looked at Jun Wuji with a mischievous glint in her phoenix eyes. Her red lips parted slightly, and she said teasingly...
“Wealthy husband, pay up.”
The vendor, seeing that Di Beiyao had only taken two lanterns, was feeling disappointed and sighing with his head down when he saw Jun Wuji place one tael of silver on the table.
He immediately beamed with joy, for that one or two taels of silver was enough to buy all the lanterns on his stall!
Just as I was about to look up and say a few words of thanks, I saw that the two figures had already left my stall.
Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What a perfectly matched couple they are!
As Di Beiyao led Jun Wuji along, they saw a large crowd gathered along the riverbank in the distance.
Various lit lanterns float on the river, each carrying the wishes of different people.
The dim firelight only intensifies the beautiful hopes and dreams that arise within us.
Di Beiyao pulled Jun Wuji to a less crowded corner and took one of the lanterns from Jun Wuji's hand.
Smiling, she looked at Jun Wuji and said, "Let's make a wish too."
"good."
The two lit the lanterns and placed them in the river. As they watched the lanterns float further and further away, their hands clasped tighter and tighter.
Just like two hearts, they grow closer and closer as time goes by.
Their eyes met, and they both smiled simultaneously.
Unbeknownst to them, a resentful gaze was watching them from the second floor of a teahouse not far away.
Still dressed as a woman, Beitang Feng held a teacup, his gaze filled with resentment as he looked at the two people holding hands by the riverbank.
He wondered why he hadn't seen the two of them anywhere in the Prince Ji's residence; it turned out they were having a secret rendezvous behind his back.
Look, look, look! They even made wishes and released lanterns together. I never knew Jun Wuji was so romantic! Tsk tsk tsk...
Looking at himself again, he realized that not only was he without a beautiful woman by his side on such a fine day, but he was also dressed as a woman.
So desolate! So utterly desolate!
