Su Yan heard the sound and turned her head to look.
When he saw that the person was the Third Prince Ouyang Qing, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he said
"His Highness the Third Prince is also here."
I only saw one person next to me, but I didn't see clearly who it was.
Now, watching him speak, I finally see this person for who he truly is.
Oh, it's Ouyang Qing.
Ouyang Qing was stunned by Su Yan's words, then looked on in disbelief.
"You, you, you, am I really so unworthy of your attention??"
His voice sounded somewhat exasperated.
How could someone this big sitting here not have seen him at all?
This is absolutely infuriating!
Su Yan blinked and remained silent.
Ouyang Qing was even angrier when she saw his silence.
He stood up, fan in hand, and pointed directly at Su Yan.
"You, you, you..."
You talked for a long time, but in the end you still couldn't come up with a clear answer.
In the end, he only let out a heavy snort, turned around, and left angrily without looking back.
As night fell, the capital city was brightly lit and decorated, a stark contrast to its usual tranquility.
It was even more lively than during the day.
Crowded scenes were seen in these alleyways.
Lively conversations, the cheerful laughter of young women, and the refined sounds of men reciting poetry echoed along the lakeshore.
Su Yan and Ji Yu walked out of the Marquis's residence.
Because there were too many people, I only took Lan Zhi with me when I went out.
He did not bring any servants with him.
They wandered around until the two of them stopped in front of a small stall.
Ji Yu picked up a lotus lantern in front of her.
Lifelike and beautiful.
Su Yan blinked and looked up at him.
"You like this?"
Ji Yu looked at Su Yan, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"The Marquis doesn't like it?"
Su Yan thought for a while,
"fine"
Ji Yu held the lotus lantern and played with it.
Speak slowly
"These lotus lanterns are also called wishing lanterns. You write your wishes on the lotus lanterns and place them in the river."
If you are sincere, the gods will grant your wishes.
Su Yan reached out and took the lotus lantern.
It was probably the first time I'd ever seen something like this, so it was quite novel.
"Make a wish?"
Ji Yu didn't know when, but he had taken her hand.
He nodded.
His gaze never left Su Yan from beginning to end.
Thinking to himself, Su Yan probably had been pretending to be a man for so long that she seemed unfamiliar with some things that were considered girlish.
Lotus lanterns and sachets are the best-selling items during the Qixi Festival.
However, judging from her expression, she didn't seem to know that the lotus lantern was for making wishes.
He curled his lips slightly amidst the crowded scene.
After walking a few steps, the two came to stand side by side.
Ji Yu lowered his head, whispered in her ear, his voice soft and smiling.
"Young Marquis, would you like to write down a wish? Perhaps, the heavens will grant your wish."
Su Yan looked up just as he moved away from her ear.
They brushed their lips together.
Ji Yu was taken aback.
Su Yan looked at his lips for a long time, then nodded seriously.
"You must write it."
After saying that, he pulled Ji Yu towards the riverbank.
Lanzhi brought Su Yan a note and a fine brush.
Su Yan leaned against the railing on the riverbank, holding the fine calligraphy brush.
I wrote it for a long time.
It's not that her wish was too long.
However, she was very unskilled at using a calligraphy brush.
The characters he wrote were crooked and uneven.
Xiao Hua spoke up quietly.
"Host, your handwriting is so ugly that the gods might not be able to recognize your wish and thus cannot grant it."
Su Yan
"...From now on, you don't need to speak unless I ask you a question."
Xiao Hua knew that her words had touched a raw nerve with her host.
He silently shut his mouth.
After she finished, she slipped the note into the lotus lantern.
