Looking at Mo Yuyan, who was wearing a pink dress and carrying a pink pig lantern, Yun Ziyu's expression changed from disappointment to liveliness.
A smile appeared on his lips, and he carried an exquisite lantern in each hand, running forward as if the wind were blowing through his feet.
As she ran, she turned back and shouted, "Hahaha, you're always humming all day long. This pink little pig lamp really complements your pink dress perfectly!"
Hearing this, Mo Yuyan was so angry that her eyebrows shot up. She said coquettishly, "Yun Ziyu, are you tired of living? How dare you make fun of this princess like this? You stand up right there."
"If you're so capable, don't try to run away. I'll show you what I'm capable of once I catch you."
After saying that, she shoved the lantern in her hand into the arms of the maid beside her.
Then, lifting her skirt with both hands, she chased after Yun Ziyu like a whirlwind.
While running, she shouted angrily, "Yun Ziyu, you coward, stop right now! When I catch up with you, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Yun Ziyu, however, did not care at all and instead moved even faster.
He ran forward laughing, occasionally turning back to look at Mo Yuyan, who was hot on his heels.
"Ugh, I'm exhausted! Yun Ziyu, if you've got guts, don't run away. What kind of man are you if you do something but don't take responsibility?" Mo Yuyan was panting heavily.
Seeing Yun Ziyu running further and further away, she was both anxious and annoyed, and couldn't help but stomp her feet.
However, faced with Mo Yuyan's angry rebuke, Yun Ziyu simply shouted without turning her head, "Hey, do you think I'm stupid? Standing here waiting for you to come and beat me up? Dream on."
Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared into the crowd.
Mo Yuyan's eyes turned red with anger when she saw Yun Ziyu disappear.
Two maids caught up with Mo Yuyan and said with concern, "Miss, this man is so ungrateful. Why don't we go back and not bother with him?"
Mo Yuyan's face fell. "What an idiot! He has no sense of romance at all. He's driving me crazy."
She moved forward with heavy, slow steps, each step seemingly carrying immense weight.
With a soft sigh, she murmured to herself, "Alas, my father and mother cannot come to the capital to be with me because of the military affairs, and I cannot leave the capital and return to my hometown without a reason."
"Then where should I go back to? This huge capital city, seemingly prosperous and bustling, has no place that can truly be called my home."
Thinking back to my father and mother's warm home thousands of miles away, where my brothers and sisters-in-law are also, the whole family is happy together.
But she was all alone in the capital, with no relatives or friends to her name.
At this moment, on the bustling streets of Beijing, she felt so lonely and helpless.
She may have once had a sliver of expectation and longing for the identity of a princess.
However, she suddenly felt that the title had become incredibly heavy, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
But for the honor and benefit of the entire family, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere, continuing to endure the pain of separation. Her father and mother must miss her very much.
Mo Yuyan subconsciously looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
Are her family members also looking at the moon and missing her right now?
Why.
Mo Yuyan turned her head and glanced at the end of the street, but Yun Ziyu's figure had already disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, she no longer wanted to bother pretending to be emotional, so she simply let the disappointment in her heart surge out like a flood bursting its banks.
The two maids following behind silently watched their young mistress's lonely figure, and a feeling of pity welled up in their hearts.
One of the maids couldn't help but whisper, "Back in our hometown, our young lady was always the happiest when festivals came. But now that she's a princess, she's forced to be separated from her family and suffer the pain of longing. It's so pitiful."
Another maid quickly intervened, saying, "Stop talking nonsense! Thunder and rain are all gifts from the king, and we servants must not speak of them."
“Oh dear, I’m telling you the absolute truth. Ever since Miss became a princess, she’s been living a very stifling life in the capital. Just look at her eyes; the sorrow has never faded. I’m sure she misses Master and Madam terribly,” Li Xia said earnestly.
"Shut up, Lixia. You're absolutely not allowed to say things like that again. If those with ulterior motives overhear us and make a big deal out of it, we're finished. Not only will Miss suffer, but the entire Mo family will be implicated." Lichun frowned, gave Lixia's arm a hard tug, and warned her in a low voice.
Li Xia lowered her head, feeling wronged, and mumbled a reply, "Okay..."
Lichun raised her head and her gaze suddenly fell on the distance, where she saw Yun Ziyu's figure appear once again at the end of the street.
Her heart tightened suddenly, but then a look of joy involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Wait, don't rush over there." Lichun quickly reached out to stop Lixia, who was about to rush forward, and said in a low voice as well.
Li Xia, puzzled, frowned and asked, "Why? Miss is all alone up ahead, we need to hurry. Are you trying to slack off? Miss is sad and upset right now, she urgently needs someone to keep her company and take care of her."
Lichun quickly grabbed Lixia's arm, "Silly girl, the people accompanying Miss have appeared, so don't go over there and get in the way. We'll just follow them from a distance."
Li Xia followed Li Chun's gaze and looked over, a look of surprise on her face. "Oh, why is Young Master Yun back again?"
"You're so silly, of course you're looking for my princess." Lichun chuckled.
Mo Yuyan was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice the road in front of her. She accidentally bumped into a wall of people.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Mo Yuyan took a step back and quickly apologized, but before she could finish the second apology, she saw the person in front of her clearly, "Hey, Yun Ziyu?"
It was actually Yun Ziyu?
Why is he back again?
Yun Ziyu tapped Mo Yuyan's forehead helplessly, "What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed. If you bump into someone who's not easy to talk to, you'll be in for a world of trouble."
The incident involving Fang Dayu is a good example.
