Murong Qiufeng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the bright spot that suddenly rose in the distance in surprise.
I saw a large piece of bright light rising slowly in the east, and then spreading out like fireworks. It seemed to be floating like white snow, but it did not fall, but spread and floated in all directions. The light swayed and seemed to be changing.
The colors look more like flowers blooming in the night sky, which is extremely beautiful.
Shangguan Ye turned his head and looked at Murong Qiufeng's bright eyes at night, smiled lowly, gently played with the hair on his shoulders, and explained softly, "That's called a sky lantern."
"Sky lantern?" Murong Qiufeng muttered, then became more and more surprised, and then laughed helplessly, "I didn't expect that the sky lantern could be so beautiful."
"Haha, those guys in the Ministry of Etiquette had the most idle ideas. Originally, they wanted to make these sky lanterns spell words in the sky, but unfortunately, once the sky lanterns were up in the sky, they were difficult to control due to the wind. In the end, they came up with the idea of hundreds of flowers blooming.
It’s a strange scene, but it’s actually just a variety of flower patterns in different colors. It looks effective from a distance, but looks normal up close.”
While listening to Shangguan Ye's explanation, Murong Qiufeng looked at the sky lantern that seemed to be changing ever-changing. His mood suddenly became very subtle, and he actually had a very soft and relaxed feeling. There was something strange in his heart, ethereal, but sultry.
"Would you like to light a sky lantern?" Shangguan Ye suddenly turned his head and said.
Murong Qiufeng's body froze, and there seemed to be something lightly brushing against his cheek, bringing with it some heat and some coldness.
Shangguan Ye chuckled softly, let him go, took his hand and turned around to leave, "Follow me."
The sudden loss of warmth behind her made Murong Qiufeng tremble uncontrollably, feeling a little cold and feeling a little lost in her heart.
Looking at Shangguan Ye in front of me, I felt a little complicated and confused.
The two stopped in an open space. Shangguan Ye let go of him, smiled and gestured to him with a silent finger, then walked over, bent down to pick up something from the ground, and pulled hard, and suddenly the grass on the ground suddenly turned.
Open it and reveal a piece of white cloth.
Murong Qiufeng also temporarily forgot her embarrassment and looked at the white cloth curiously.
Shangguan Ye walked over and lifted up the cloth. The white cloth flew up high with a clatter, like a curtain. It was hung very accurately on the two bamboo poles that had been prepared. It looked like a white wall. There was a shallow pit on the ground, revealing
A small table.
There are some pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, as well as some other various paints.
Shangguan Ye's hands and feet were nimble and he was very busy. He used local materials and sold out a few slender pieces of wood, and then tied them together. Maybe he was making traps and tents on the battlefield, so he was very skilled.
"Come here and help." Shangguan Ye suddenly raised his head and looked at Murong Qiufeng, who was staring blankly and with bright eyes full of curiosity, and raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Murong Qiufeng just woke up from a dream, and subconsciously walked over, a little curious and a little confused, looking at the formed skeleton in his hand, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the sky lantern he saw.
"Hold it and don't move."
He obediently raised his hand and grabbed the wooden shelf that was as tall as a person.
Shangguan Ye walked over and grabbed the curtain hanging on the bamboo pole, and then covered the shelf, including Murong Qiufeng.
Murong Qiufeng was obedient and did not move at all.
Shangguan Ye looked at it, wanting to laugh a little, but he couldn't help but pounce on it, and neatly tied the cloth to the shelf with a rope. In the end, only Murong Qiufeng was left, who reluctantly opened the curtain and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me.
By the way, I'll tie you up and put you in the sky."
Murong Qiufeng smiled softly, "If you can go up, I wouldn't mind." Then he looked at the white sky lantern and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Have you often done this before?"
"Just this once." Shangguan Ye also tied up that side, and then fiddled with the things inside, preparing kerosene, etc., "You can draw some patterns or write some words on it."
"Yeah." Murong Qiufeng turned around, picked up the paint on the table, and mixed it with water skillfully. He may not be good at making these, but he is good at calligraphy and painting.
When Shangguan Ye finished finishing the things inside, he came out and found Murong Qiufeng already drawing patterns on it. The four sides were almost completed. It was very similar to his style, it was a picture of mountains and rivers.
"I heard that sky lanterns can make wishes because they are closest to the sky." Shangguan Ye looked at the mountain and river map, walked to the table, took out a pen, and wrote on one side, "You may have a wish."
Murong Qiufeng nodded, thought for a while, and then wrote down a reason. In fact, it was a very common wish. It was nothing more than family harmony. He was a little curious about what Shangguan Ye's wish was. After thinking about it, he wanted to go over and have a look.
But Shangguan Ye raised his head and waved the pen in front of him, "You can't read it. Okay, let's set it together and you light the fire."
"Okay." There was some expectation and a little bit of excitement in Murong Qiufeng's eyes. After Shangguan Ye lifted the sky lantern, Murong Qiufeng quickly lit the lantern on the plate.
Suddenly, as the flames rose, the inside also swelled, as if there was wind inside, and the sky lanterns fluttered as if they were about to fly up at any time.
Murong Qiufeng also leaned on one side and looked at Shangguan Ye.
Shangguan Ye nodded, "One, two, three, let go."
The two of them twitched their hands at the same time, and immediately the light slowly rose.
The two of them stood together, watching the sky lanterns rise to the sky, feeling a little strange in their hearts. They turned to look at Shangguan Ye, but met his smiling gaze, which was softer than ever.
"You are so skillful with your hands. It was so successful the first time you did it." Murong Qiufeng quickly turned his head and started the topic to cover up his embarrassment.
Shangguan Ye smiled deeply but said nothing more, seeming to feel the tranquility of this moment.
Listening to his chuckle, Murong Qiufeng felt itchy in her heart and felt very uncomfortable, as if she had been scratched by a kitten, and she stopped talking.
The cold wind blew by, and there were various sounds in the forest. Murong Qiufeng looked up at the sky lantern that could no longer be seen clearly. He didn't know where it would float to. He felt a little cold. He couldn't help but pull his shawl, but found that there was an extra
Only then did he remember that Shangguan Ye had given him his cloak, so he quickly wanted to drop his cloak.
But Shangguan Ye held his hand and said, "I'm not cold." He directly pulled the buttons of the cloak and fastened it tightly.
The hot air hit his face, and Murong Qiufeng felt a little flustered. He turned his head unconsciously, not daring to face Shangguan Ye, but he was reluctant to refuse this tenderness.
"Okay, it's cold in the mountains, we should go back." Shangguan Ye looked at the obvious blush on the fair face, chuckled, took his hand and left, his movements seemed to become more and more natural and habitual.
Murong Qiufeng sighed softly, frowning slightly, and pressed his chest with his other hand unconsciously. The strange feeling made him a little upset.
A feeling of clarity and fuzzyness.
It was already midnight when the two returned to the palace, and the lights were still brightly lit everywhere in the palace. Now these two people made the entire palace tremble, fearing that they would have another quarrel.
Seeing that they both came back and seemed to be in a good mood, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But Murong Qiufeng unexpectedly received a letter from Yun Feiyang, saying that he was leaving. If he hadn't said in the letter that something important happened suddenly, he would have thought that he was angry.
Shangguan Ye, on the other hand, smiled in a way that made everyone feel weird and proud.
