Chapter 146: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (23)
Because of what happened to Gu Shaofu's family, the atmosphere of the moon-viewing banquet became subtly depressing.
Finding that there were no delicious foods, Lu Cha simply copied Huipin's words that mocked him in the Imperial Garden, ordered the eunuch to convey them to Yuan Ting, and then took Xun Ji out of the palace.
When Luo Jinshuang saw Lu Cha leaving, she pretended to be unwell and ran away too.
-
The moon is high in the sky.
Colorful lanterns were hung in the streets and alleys of the capital, lighting up the originally dull night.
On both sides of the main street, there is a whole row of stalls with a wide variety of goods.
There is a constant stream of pedestrians and the cries of hawkers, creating a bustling and prosperous scene.
Lu Cha held a bunch of food he had just bought and gave a bag each to Ling Ying and Xun Ji with a smile:
"If it's not enough, go buy some more yourself."
The rest are all mine!
"Your Highness, Miss Luo Er said that you are not allowed to eat tonight."
Before Lingying could finish her words, she met Lucha's eager gaze. She swallowed the rest of her words silently and leaned over to say, "Lingying, go buy some digestive medicine."
"There are a lot of people here. Your Highness can take the Prince Consort to the east river to release the lanterns first. Lingying will meet you after she finishes shopping."
"Yeah."
After Lingying left, Lucha grabbed Xun Ji's slightly cold hand and placed it on the wheelchair: "Now, you will be my legs."
Xun Ji nodded obediently.
Just as he was about to follow Lu Cha's instructions, he suddenly heard a vague sneer from the crowd around him:
"There are really all kinds of birds in the forest. A lame man actually asked a blind man to push his wheelchair, and he's not afraid of falling to his death."
Xun Ji's eyes dimmed slightly. Through the ribbon, he saw the little girl sorting out the things in her arms. He didn't hear anything and silently pushed her away.
The drooping little finger was lightly hooked.
The man who had just mocked was suddenly covered with his mouth and dragged away.
riverside.
Colorful lanterns have begun to float on the water.
Like a magic trick, Lu Cha pulled out a small lantern from a pile of oil-paper packages.
"I heard that you've never celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival in Beilin. Tonight, can I accompany you to light lanterns?"
Xun Ji was stunned.
He was not favored by his father and was of humble origin. Not only was he not qualified to attend Bei Lin's banquet, he was not even qualified to get palace cakes.
Mid-Autumn Festival, a time of family happiness, but it has never had anything to do with him.
Did she bring herself out specially to celebrate the festival?
"Squat down."
Xun Ji did as he was told reflexively, and a green lantern with a lit candle was stuffed into his hand.
Lu Cha gently pulled Xun Ji's sleeve, led him forward, and held his hand above the water. Then he let go and said, "Make a wish and release the lantern again."
"Whatever it is, I will help you achieve it."
The little girl in the wheelchair raised her red lips slightly.
The light smile, like the continuous spring rain, fell on Xun Ji's heart, stirring up a subtle itch that seemed to penetrate into his bones.
It is so soft that it will melt the flesh and blood and sink together.
Let him indulge himself once more.
Xun Ji slowly grasped Lu Cha's fingertips and kissed them softly, like a humble believer who was usurping the power of God:
"I hope you will be here every Mid-Autumn Festival."
Even if it's a rotting corpse.
The falling lanterns gradually drifted away. Lu Cha rubbed Xun Ji's head and said only one word:
"good."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Yuan Ting, who ended the moon-viewing banquet early, had a gloomy face.
Not only was his sexual condition affected and he needed to take medication for a long time, but it was also discovered by others that he was cheated on by his concubine!
This period was really frustrating!
The shadow guard knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, Xun Ji refused your invitation, saying that the princess wanted to take him away and he couldn't resist."
"Oh, a hostage, what qualifications do you have to refuse me?!" Yuan Ting gritted his teeth in anger.
"I think he asked Mr. Ye to detoxify him, and he relied on Yuan Lucha's favor to be so arrogant!"
Yuanlu Tea now has a much better reputation among the people. It is obvious that they have done something secretly and are planning something.
But he just couldn't break up with the other party.
At the beginning, Yuan Lucha should have been killed on the way back to Beijing!
"Send someone new to the Princess's residence and make sure to get the military token from her!"
But at this moment, a slight clicking sound suddenly came from outside the door, as if the porcelain lid had shaken.
The shadow guard immediately stood up and grabbed the woman who was trying to escape.
Seeing Luo Zelan lying on the ground, Yuan Ting's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Luo Jieyu, what did you hear?"
Luo Zelan trembled in fear.
When she learned that Huipin's plan had failed and was afraid that she would be implicated, she thought of sending palace cakes to Yuan Ting to test his opinion. Who would have thought that she would happen to hear about the military token.
No matter how she answers, she will not escape death. She must prove her worth!
Luo Zelan tried to remain calm, her mind racing: "Your Majesty! I am willing to share your worries!"
"I am a woman, so it will be easier for me to gain Yuan Lucha's trust!"
"Especially Yuan Lucha and my sister, they are good friends!"
Yuan Ting narrowed his eyes slightly.
Maybe, you can try?
He waved his hand, and the shadow guard understood and forced a pill into Luo Zelan's mouth.
"If you can obtain the military token, in addition to the antidote to this poison, I will also make you queen."
Luo Zelan, who was originally afraid, was overjoyed and kowtowed immediately:
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
