It is rare to have a beautiful woman who is pleasing to the eyes, let alone such a scenery?
They just walked along the long street and became a scene in themselves.
The scene is even more stunning under the interplay of moonlight and candlelight.
Many people who passed by them were stunned and kept looking back for a long time after they walked away.
Some people were so distracted that they accidentally bumped into the stalls and almost fell down, causing everyone to laugh.
"Don't look at it!"
Some sharp-eyed people have already recognized the identities of the two women and lowered their voices, expressing envy and awe.
"Those two, one is the Princess of Qinyang, and the other is the second young lady of the Ye family, they are not something that ordinary people can dream of!"
Hearing this, people around exclaimed in surprise.
"So it's them! Such looks, such demeanor... they are definitely not comparable to ordinary women."
"Not only that, but even the daughters of the rich families in the capital can't even dream of it!"
"That's right!"
Needless to say, Princess Qinyang is well-known in the capital for her willful temper and no one can afford to offend her.
Although Ye Chutang's family background was not as high as hers, his medical skills were superb. Not only was he an honored guest in the Princess's Mansion, he was now also deeply trusted by the Emperor.
It is indeed not something that ordinary people can compare with.
Some people who were ready to make a move now gave up, but they still couldn't help looking over there.
——It would be nice to take one more look at such a beauty!
At some point a space opened up in the crowd, separating them from the people around them by a small distance.
Ye Chutang ignored the various looks around him.
Firstly, she didn't care about these things. Secondly... it was indeed safer to have a small piece of vacant and spacious space in such a crowded place.
Even if I don’t hold Xiaowu’s hand, I won’t be separated by the crowd.
Seeing Xiaowu's excitement as he looked around curiously and treasured everything along the way, Ye Chutang smiled and chatted with Princess Qinyang as they walked.
"Last year in Jiangling, I took Xiaowu to the Lantern Festival. Although it was also very lively, it was still far inferior to the capital."
As he was speaking, Xiao Wu suddenly opened his eyes wide, ran forward a few steps quickly, pointed excitedly to the front, and motioned Ye Chutang and the others to look over there.
Ye Chutang looked over and saw a Kongming lantern slowly rising on the other side of the river.
This street is next to the river, and there is an arch bridge over the river, which leads directly to the other side of the river.
Both sides of the river were bustling with activity. Lanterns were swaying and reflected in the water like flawless pieces of jade.
The flickering candlelight brings back distant memories.
Ye Chutang watched quietly, his thoughts suddenly flying far away.
"Ah Wan, you just came to the capital, you don't know the customs here! They say that every year during the Lantern Festival, as long as you write your wishes on a piece of paper and put it in a Kongming lantern, you can pray to the heavens. If the Kongming lantern successfully flies up, it means that the wish made by that person will come true."
The young man has handsome eyebrows and eyes, and laughs freely and ostentatiously.
"I have already made an agreement with the owner of the Xijiang Bridge Lantern Shop in advance. I will leave the biggest and best Kongming lanterns for you. If you have any wishes, I will write them down for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a little kid following behind him couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what about me and Third Brother? And Xiaowu... Never mind, Xiaowu is still young. There will be a chance when she grows up. We'll talk about it then! Brother, can you write one for me and Third Brother as well?"
The taller boy shook his head, his voice still childish but very sweet, "Sister is not in good health and can't go out easily in winter, so we have to make more wishes for her. Brother, I'll leave my share to Sister as well."
The little kid in front was confused, looked around, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Eh? No? I, I didn't mean that. I, I was originally planning to pray for my sister!"
As they were talking, one of them grabbed the other by the collar and went out.
Only the young man's smiling voice could be heard from afar.
"What's there to worry about? Let's write Ah Wan's wish first this year. When she gets better, let her write the rest. Her handwriting is good, so maybe she can write Xiao Wu's later. It might work better."
The two idiots who were fighting in the yard finally stopped, looked at each other, and made peace by high-fiving each other.
"Okay! I'll listen to you, brother!"
…
The place was bustling with people.
Suddenly, people on the long street exclaimed in surprise one after another, attracting a lot of attention.
Ye Chutang's thoughts were interrupted, and he turned his head to look, and saw someone holding a special-shaped fire rack. A blazing flame was burning, and as he moved it, brilliant lines were outlined in the night.
The people around exclaimed in amazement and applauded.
Ye Chutang came back to his senses.
"Xiaowu."
Xiaowu ran up to her, looked up at her with a confused look on his face.
Ye Chutang smiled and pointed to the other side, "Shall we release one too?"
Xiaowu opened his eyes wide in surprise.
——Okay, okay!
She held Ye Chutang's hand tightly, and the joy and anticipation in her body were about to overflow.
The group crossed the arch bridge and came to the other side. There were already quite a few people in front of the Kongming lantern stall.
Ye Chutang walked aside and took out some silver.
Here are the pens, ink, paper and inkstones prepared by the store. You can write your wishes here first, and then go to get the Kongming lantern.
"One, please." Ye Chutang said.
"Okay!"
The waiter immediately handed over a blank note.
"Sir, if you have any wishes, just write them down here!"
Ye Chutang nodded slightly, took the note in his hand, and thought about how to start writing.
Princess Qinyang was a little surprised when she saw this scene. "I never thought you would believe in such a trick?"
She had known Ye Chutang for quite a long time. In her impression, Ye Chutang had always been calm and composed, as if there was nothing she couldn't do.
Such a person would just fight for what he wants by himself, so how could he pin his hopes on such a vague wish?
Ye Chutang smiled.
"Perhaps, I am just more clever in writing?"
Princess Qinyang was stunned for a moment, and actually felt that what he said made some sense.
"It seems... it's really possible?"
She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she quickly walked over, took out the silver and bought one.
“I want one too!”
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
In fact, Princess Qinyang looked absent-minded today.
She still couldn't completely let go of the matter of King Yannan. No matter how lively the surroundings were, they couldn't make her feel lively.
But now he seems to be much more energetic.
"Have you thought about what to write, Princess?"
Princess Qinyang pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
Ye Chutang looked at Xiaowu.
Xiaowu leaned against her, his eyes were pure and innocent, and he tilted his head and smiled happily.
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved up.
"I've thought about it too." (End of this chapter)
