Suddenly, a peach wood plaque appeared in front of Fengguang. She looked over and saw that Qi Mu was waving the red string with the peach wood plaque attached in front of her.
"Although it was Miss who misunderstood me, it was indeed I who upset Miss. It was my fault. How about I make amends with this?" There was quite a long queue at the place selling peach wood plaques. This should be "enough" to show his sincerity.
But she wasn't impressed. "What use is this to me?"
"Naturally, I'm seeking a marriage partner."
"Today is really strange." Feng Guang sighed. "First I met a beautiful and generous lady who said I should pray for a marriage, and then I met the prince who also said I should pray for a marriage. Is it normal for a woman to pray for a marriage when she comes to Linggan Temple?"
No, not exactly.
"Um?"
He smiled, a warm and gentle smile, "Aren't there still women who want to give birth?"
She was speechless for a moment.
“Miss Xia, my hands are getting tired. If you don’t want this peach wood plaque, I’ll just throw it away.”
Qi Mu pretended to throw it away, but Feng Guang snatched the red string from his hand and smiled meaningfully.
“Since you… since you’ve already brought it over, it would be a waste to throw it away.” Her face flushed, and she even forgot the respectful way she usually addressed him. With an awkward attempt to cover up her embarrassment, she said, “Actually, I don’t believe in this stuff. I just see everyone doing it, so I’m just going with the flow.”
"That's perfect, I don't believe in the idea of seeking marriage partners anyway."
She was surprised, "Then why..."
"But as I passed by, I heard many young women of marriageable age anxiously asking someone to write down the names of their beloved, and I couldn't help but think of you." Most daughters from ordinary families are illiterate, so it's no wonder he could hear them.
Feng Guang asked, puzzled, "Why did you think of me?"
He was momentarily stunned, but quickly smiled easily and said, "Miss Xia just broke off her engagement, right? I guess you must be looking for a good marriage."
“If marriage were so easy to find, wouldn’t every woman in the world have a good man by her side, and every man have a beautiful woman by his side?” She said rationally, her beautiful eyes curving into lovely crescent moons. “I don’t know if the Bodhi tree here is effective, but it’s good to keep people’s hopes alive. Your Highness, please wait here for me.”
He responded softly, "Mm."
Feng Guang walked to a nearby fortune-telling stall, borrowed a pen, and glanced back at Qi Mu, who was still standing under the Bodhi tree. He was tall and elegant, ethereal and otherworldly in the breeze. His clear eyes were not unfocused, making one believe that he could see scenery that others could not. He had no flaws, but was a perfect man without any impeccable qualities. Sensing her gaze, he "looked" back at her.
He stole it. Seeing that he had been discovered, Feng Guang quickly turned around, calmed his racing heart for a moment, picked up a pen, and wrote his name on the peach wood plaque without hesitation.
"Your Highness," she walked back to his side, "I've finished writing. Could you please help me put it up?"
"Welcome to serve."
He took the peach wood plaque and heard her say, "It should be thrown to the highest place."
He chuckled softly, "Okay."
Qi Mu closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of the wind and the rustling of the leaves. When he opened his eyes again, he decisively raised his hand, and the peach wood plaque was hung perfectly on the highest branch of the Bodhi tree. Many women nearby murmured their envy. Feng Guang did not have Qi Mu's good hearing, so she could not hear whether they were envying her for having a good lover.
