Ending 8
People feel refreshed when good things happen. Qin Yan even liked Sima Ling better. He didn't want to sleep every day. He went out to play with Sima Ling and Xue Zhu every day with Gu Qingqu. Sima Ling didn't want them to follow him, but after Xue Zhu said a few nice words, Sima Ling agreed.
However, Sima Ling was a prince with real power and was very busy during the day. He only had time to take Xuezhu out to play at night. But this was exactly what Xuezhu wanted, after all, it was too hot during the day in this season.
Time flies, and the Chinese Valentine's Day is here in a blink of an eye. The Qixi Lantern Festival is an annual event in Shengjing. Xuezhu told Qin Yan and the others about it a few days ago, and the three of them were looking forward to it.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the four of them went out together.
The Chinese Valentine's Day is much more lively than usual. The streets are bustling with people, colorful lanterns are hung all over the streets, and the aroma from street food stalls wafts over one after another, making you feel happy just by smelling it.
Less than a hundred meters after walking out, Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu agreed that following Sima Ling was too boring, so Gu Qingqu released the clay figure to stand guard for them, while they restored their original appearance.
The Chinese Valentine's Day is an ideal occasion for a talented man and a beautiful woman to meet. Because of their outstanding looks, they were quickly surrounded by the crowd.
"Are you two gentlemen from the capital? How come I have never seen you before?"
"Is the young master married?"
......
More and more people gathered around, almost pushing Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu away. Qin Yan had no choice but to say, "Sorry, we're already married."
The patrol team soon discovered the commotion and rushed over to maintain order, allowing Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu to escape. Just in case, they each bought a mask and walked side by side. The street was bustling. Qin Yan wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. When he was hesitating, he felt a gentle touch on his little finger, which was intermittent but never stopped. Qin Yan felt warm in his heart and held the rebellious hand.
Qin Yan turned his head to look at Gu Qingqu. He couldn't see Gu Qingqu's expression through the mask, but could see his smiling eyes. Qin Yan said, "They are releasing river lanterns in front, let's go too."
"Um"
I bought some river lanterns and came to the river. There were already endless river lanterns floating on the river, and they were very bright.
Gu Qingqu said: "It is said that on Chinese Valentine's Day, people write their wishes on river lanterns. The lanterns flow along the river and into the Milky Way. The gods will take out the paper inside and help people realize their wishes."
Qin Yan smiled and asked, "Didn't you open wishes every day before?"
Gu Qingqu also laughed, "Legends are not to be believed." He lit the river lantern and put it into the river. With the bright light, Qin Yan saw a note in the river lantern Gu Qingqu put. "Didn't you say that rumors are not to be believed? Why did you make a wish?"
Gu Qingqu said: "When you return to your hometown, you should return to the secular world."
Qin Yan asked curiously: "What wish did you make?"
Gu Qingqu laughed again, "There is a saying in the world that wishes will not come true if they are spoken out loud."
Qin Yan did not ask any further questions and let go of the river lantern in his hand. He did not make a wish, but just took Gu Qingqu's hand and turned away. All his wishes had been fulfilled.
When the two returned to the street, they heard people around them discussing that Prince Ping An had prepared a fireworks feast for his beloved and that it would be set off tonight.
"Which girl has the King of Ping An's eyes on?"
"You don't know this, you're not a girl."
"What is that? Could it be..."
"It's just as you think. I saw it with my own eyes that night. It was a young man."
"Oh, now Princess Ping'an is going to be upset again. When she married a concubine before, there was already a big fuss. This..."
Qin Yan was not calm when he heard this, and asked quickly: "The King of Ping An you are talking about is Sima Ling?"
The man was a little angry, "Who are you? How dare you address the prince by his name?"
Qin Yan asked, "Did you just say that he has a princess?"
After hearing what he said, the man was a little confused, "Why are you asking this?"
Seeing this, Gu Qingqu lied and said, "We just came over there and saw Prince Ping'an and a young man being very affectionate. We thought that young woman was his princess, and I even made a bet with him." Gu Qingqu said and cornered Qin Yan, who replied, "Yes, I thought that young woman was the princess, and I bet one hundred silver coins, so I was a little excited."
The man finally let down his guard after hearing what he said, "Then you lose. The prince married the princess 20 years ago, and the eldest son is already 18 years old."
Gu Qingqu smiled at the man and said, "Thank you."
"It's a small matter. Everyone in Beijing knows about it. You are not from Beijing, right?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "No, we are just passing by. We heard that it will be very lively during the Qixi Festival, so we stayed for a few more days."
“It’s very lively”
"Um"
After a brief chat, the two learned that Sima Ling not only had a princess and concubines, but also several concubines. Qin Yan was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. After parting ways with the passers-by, Qin Yan asked, "Does Xuezhu know this?"
Gu Qingqu guessed, "You should know, didn't he say that the entire palace belongs to him?"
Now Qin Yan didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and as the first firework exploded in the air, one after another fireworks exploded in the air, and everything was golden, like a grand fireworks rain.
Sima Ling and Xue Zhuzi kissed under the fireworks and rain. Qin Yan couldn't bear it any longer and turned around and left with Gu Qingqu, "Not suitable for children."
After this incident, Qixi didn't have the heart to think about it anymore. Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu returned to the palace. The more they thought about it, the more upset they felt. So Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu said, "Why don't we go back?"
Gu Qingqu agreed, but he still wanted to tell Xuezhu about it, so he said, "Tell Xuezhu about it before you leave tomorrow."
Qin Yan agreed, "By the way, ask him if he knows that the old prince has a princess."
"Um"
As usual, it was almost noon when Qin Yan woke up the next day. The voices of Gu Qingqu and Xue Zhu came from outside. Qin Yan opened the door and went out. The weather was not very good today. It was cloudy and gloomy. It looked like it was going to rain.
Xuezhu's face looked as bad as the sky. He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yan. Gu Qingqu also turned around and looked at Qin Yan. Qin Yan walked towards him.
Xuezhu said hello to him and left. Qin Yan looked at his back and walked to where he had just sat and sat down. "Are you done?"
Gu Qingqu nodded, "Well, he didn't know Sima Ling had a princess, and Sima Ling always told him that there was no one at home."
Qin Yan frowned, "Isn't this a lie?"
Gu Qingqu said: "Let's go back"
"Wait a minute," Qin Yan suddenly changed his mind, "Since he doesn't know, let's see what's going on."
Gu Qingqu said: "Xuezhu just told me that he had a premonition that his death was approaching."
"Ah?" Qin Yan asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "Xuezhu has been hiding in the human world, but she has recently shown some earthly desires, which will surely be noticed by the heavens."
Qin Yan said: "Then he should go back to heaven and admit his mistakes now."
Gu Qingqu shook his head. "It is a great sin to secretly go down to the mortal world and have an affair with a mortal in the heaven. Even if you don't die, you will be imprisoned for life. Xuezhu went down to the mortal world secretly because he couldn't stand the loneliness. For him, lifelong imprisonment is more terrible than death."
Qin Yan sighed, not knowing what to say. Suddenly he thought of something and asked again, "Then how can you talk about love in the human world?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "I don't belong to the heaven."
In the evening, Xuezhu came back. He looked very unhappy. After asking, he found out that Sima Ling had put him under house arrest. As soon as Sima Ling came back today, Xue Zhu asked him about the princess. After getting Sima Ling's definite answer, Xue Zhu asked to leave. Sima Ling refused to let him go and put him under house arrest.
Xuezhu sat in the yard and sighed, "I plan to sneak back to Qinglong Mountain at night."
Before meeting Sima Ling, Xuezhu had been living in Qinglong Mountain. If she used her spiritual power during the day, she would be like a sitting duck.
As soon as the voice fell, the guard at the door said: "Princess, you can't go in. The prince has specifically instructed that you really can't go in."
"Go away"
Following an angry shout, a woman came in holding up her skirt. She looked to be in her thirties, with her hair tied up, dignified and elegant, with a hint of vicissitudes in her eyes. This was Princess Ping An.
The princess came straight to Xuezhu and knelt down. Xuezhu was startled and quickly stood up to help her. "Don't do this. I didn't know you existed before."
The princess shook her head and did not stand up. "I will give you the position of princess, but I only ask you to ask the prince not to divorce me. I am pregnant with a three-month-old baby. If you want the child, I can give it to you as soon as it is born."
Xue Zhu helped the tearful princess up and said, "Since you are pregnant, you should have a good rest. I won't take anything from you. Go back."
The princess looked at Xuezhu, and tears fell as she lowered her eyes. She sobbed and said, "I'm sorry."
Xue Zhu said: "I should be the one to say sorry"
At this time, a Momo ran to the princess in a panic and said, "Princess, something's wrong. The prince has ordered the palace doctor to prepare abortion medicine."
The princess looked at Momo in shock and asked in panic, "What?"
The princess swayed and could not stand steadily. Xuezhu supported her. Gu Qingqu suggested: "Princess, why don't you go back to your parents' home to hide for a while?"
The princess held her belly and said, "This is the only way now."
Because they were worried that the princess would not be able to escape, Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu followed her and watched her leave the mansion and get on the carriage before returning. When they returned, Sima Ling was already talking to Xue Zhu in the yard.
Sima Ling held Xuezhu's shoulders, looking crazy, "Xuezhu, I have written a divorce letter, and I have sent away all the women in the backyard. There is no one to stop us from being together anymore."
Xue Zhu opened his hand expressionlessly, "Enough, Sima Ling, you are so disgusting"
Sima Ling's face froze. "I know I am too old to be worthy of you. I will find a way to become younger."
Xue Zhu said: "You are not worthy of me, not just because you are old, don't you feel guilty for doing these things? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but you can even kill your own child. You really disappoint me."
Sima Ling's face darkened. "What did that woman say to you? She lied to you. She is not pregnant at all."
Xuezhu pushed him away in disgust, "That's enough, I won't believe a word you say anymore, I want to go home, let me go"
"Absolutely not, Xuezhu, you can't go anywhere in this life, you can only stay by my side." Sima Ling left in a hurry after saying these harsh words. Xuezhu looked at his back and snorted coldly.
