There is still some distance between the shore and the ship. In the gap is the cold river water. At first glance, it is dark, mixed with some reflections of lights, but it is stirred up by the drifting ship, so these warm yellow colors seem to have been swallowed by the river water.
of.
Ruan Yuyi was a little hesitant. She was really afraid of missing the step and falling into the water, so she didn't dare to take a step forward.
A hand stretched out in front of her eyes. Before she could understand, Jiang Huaiyang pinched her waist and lifted her up. She exclaimed, feeling the strength of the big hand on her waist, and then she landed firmly on the boat.
on the board.
Jiang Huaiyang seemed to have lost her coolness in the lonely night, "Are you afraid that you won't say anything?" Just standing there, he was clearly right in front of her.
He paid the money, but did not ask the boatman to follow him. The boatman was also happy that he could make money without working. He got off the boat with a smile, stood on the shore and casually told the two guests to be careful when sailing, so as not to capsize the boat.
go.
Ruan Yuyi was placed in the canopy of the boat. She turned her head to look at the back of Jiang Huaiyang standing at the stern of the boat, holding wood pulp. His Royal Highness did not seem to be as delicate as a noble son. He had learned martial arts, was not picky about food, and could even row a boat.
She silently watched the scenery in front of her go away, and the surrounding area darkened, as if it had entered the real night. The cool wind caressed her cheek, which actually felt a bit comfortable.
After about a cup of tea, their boat stopped at the center of the river.
Ruan Yuyi ducked out of the boat canopy and asked, "Your Highness, why are we here?"
He put the oar in place and said softly, "Aren't you going to release the sky lantern? You saw it too. There are too many people there. If we continue to get closer, the sky lantern will probably be hit by others in a short time.
"
She had never thought about this.
Maybe it was because when she was in Wuzhou, everyone gathered by the stream to play, so she got used to it and felt that he would take her to play in crowded places.
Every year in the past, my mother would ask her servants to prepare all kinds of lights and let them play with the younger ones. The only instruction was to tell them not to fall. Because there were three or five people of the same generation at home, every time they went out, they would
It will be extremely lively.
But later there was no such opportunity. When two aunts saw that the Ruan family was in decline and had been used to a wealthy life, they couldn't bear it. With their mother's permission, they took their children back to their parents' homes.
Nowadays, the Ruan family is isolated, and there are still people who are separated forever. My mother has always been happy and lively, and I am not by her side, so it is inevitable to be lonely.
Ruan Yuyi held the Kongming lantern and watched Jiang Huaiyang light the fire neatly. The joyful firelight reflected in her eyes, which was so dazzling that it seemed to force mist out of her eyes.
The lantern body gradually swelled in her hands, and she gently held it up, and the Kongming Lantern rose up, swaying higher and higher. She put down the two lanterns, one behind the other, in this relatively empty space.
The swinging night sky makes it even more conspicuous.
This is the upper end of the wind direction, but their lights are floating in front, as if they are leading the lights behind them.
The sky lantern floats far away, but you can still see a small bright spot. The sky in Beijing is also connected to the sky in Wuzhou. If the lantern keeps floating like this, will my mother be able to see it?
In fact, Jiang Huaiyang never raised his head, but looked sideways at the little lady beside him. Unexpectedly, he saw that her eyes were gradually filled with water, and the uncontrollable tears fell suddenly, and then one after another, and there was no stopping it.
The posture of living.
She cried suddenly. Jiang Huaiyang thought of her situation and thought that she might be homesick.
He had seen her cry in his dream, but it was only when the bullying was severe, and the corners of her eyes would bleed a little, but it was not as violent as now.
His long sword was stained with blood, and enemy clansmen knelt under his feet and cried bitterly for fear of death. But when Ruan Yuyi shed tears in front of him, he felt his heart suffocate.
She was really fragile at the moment, but this side of her looked more like the real her, and her temperament was more similar to Ling Ling in the dream, rather than pretending to be a libertine.
Jiang Huaiyang reached out and wiped away the tears hanging on her face with his fingertips, and scoffed, "Why are you crying? It's not embarrassing at all."
The rough calluses rubbed against her skin, and she dodged for a moment, wiped away her tears randomly, and put on a smile, "It's windy on the river." Maybe it was because she had cried that she vented her emotions during the day and now.
, her voice was still a little choked and sounded muffled.
Jiang Huaiyang stared at her and remained silent.
The surrounding area was open and the wind was stronger than in the street. Seeing her folding her arms, he planned to take her away. The ship docked leisurely, and Ruan Yuyi walked slowly from the stern to the bow.
After getting out of the canopy, she was about to walk forward, but something seemed to be holding her behind her. She groped backwards with her hands behind her back. It seemed that her clothes had been caught on a wooden thorn. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and her ears felt hot with anxiety.
Jiang Huaiyang frowned slightly and was about to step forward to check the situation.
But there was a tearing sound, and as she fiddled with it, the clothes behind her tore open. She froze, and now she didn't dare to move, for fear that the situation would get worse.
When he walked up to her, a small piece of fabric was torn at the back of her waist. Although the hole was not big, a piece of greasy skin could be seen, and behind her straight spine, between the dress and the
There is a gap that invites people to spy.
He suddenly felt that his throat was inexplicably dry, so he quickly moved his eyes away, took off his cloak, and wrapped her tightly.
Ruan Yuyi shrank.
After she came to her senses, she tightened her collars with one hand, raised her head slightly, looked at Jiang Huaiyang, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Her face was still stained with an unfaded blush, because she tilted her head slightly, her white neck drew a graceful arc, and her temple hair was slightly messy, with beads hanging down, giving her a look that made me feel pity for her.
He hummed softly.
Ruan Yuyi looked like this and it was not convenient for her to walk through the crowd, so he let her go with him. After all, he was coming from the palace and he could block her in the carriage when traveling.
It was difficult to tell the distance in the boat, but once they were walking away, they realized that they were actually some distance away from the foot of Shenghe Temple.
Jiang Huaiyang stopped in front of a black nanmu carriage. She looked familiar at the carriage, and for a moment, she remembered that it was the nobleman's carriage that her second cousin bumped into on the day she went to pick up jewelry for her aunt.
It turned out that the person sitting inside was the prince.
Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyes. At that time, the prince was still very angry with her and was not very willing to have more contact with her, so why would he ask her to get on this carriage? She didn't understand, but she knew that if she agreed at that time, maybe
Her plan will be easier to implement.
Mu Xiang had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing that it was Ruan Yuyi, she hurriedly came forward. First, she gave Jiang Huaiyuan a gift, then turned around and said, "Miss! It turns out that you are with the Crown Prince, but you scared this servant. I thought you were here."
You lost it."
After leaving the street, Mu Xiang was squeezed to the open-air stage and got some breathing space. When she walked to the door, she found that Ruan Yuyi was missing. She thought she would also come here, but she couldn't find her.
Circle, I can't find anyone.
Later, a person who looked like a guard came to her and said that it was her young lady who wanted her to wait in front, so she followed him with hesitation.
