Wu Xuanye took the hairpin and inserted it into her bun. She was already pretty, and this hairpin added a touch of playfulness to her head.
Just as he imagined, this hairpin really matched her.
Shen Yunxi was overjoyed. She touched the hairpin on her head and smiled brightly at him.
Wu Xuanye blinked for a moment and saw Shen Yunxi grabbing his arm and saying, "I also have a gift for you."
She pulled Wu Xuanye and ran towards the hillside of the back mountain.
When I got here, I saw a very huge thing lying on the ground at the foot of the hillside.
Wu Xuanye asked curiously: "What is this?"
Shen Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "This is a gift from me, the prince brother, Yan Yan and the others to you."
Wu Xuanye looked suspicious: "A gift?"
Shen Yunxi had a mysterious look on her face. She led Wu Xuanye down the hillside, then pointed to the huge basket in the middle and said, "Stand up."
Wu Xuanye didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so he had to follow her instructions and stand in.
Shen Yunxi pulled the rope on the side and saw the felt cloth on the ground rising.
She climbed onto the basket, then took a torch and lit the brazier above her head.
After a while, the heat from the flames caused the felt cloth on his head to expand.
Shen Yunxi cut off the fixed rope and said to Wu Xuanye: "Stand still, we are about to set off."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw this thing rising slowly.
Wu Xuanye was shocked. He held on to the basket at his feet and stood firm, watching himself getting higher and higher away from the Gu Palace, and soon rose into the air.
And this huge thing was blown by the wind and slowly moved away from the Gu Palace.
He looked at Shen Yunxi and asked, "What is this?"
Shen Yunxi said: "Kongming lanterns. When we were young, we used to put on Kongming lanterns. Brother Prince was inspired by it and made such a big lantern according to the principles of Kongming lanterns. You can fly by sitting on the lanterns."
When I was young, my brother Prince often took us flying to the sky to see the scenery.
Later, Yan Yan and I secretly sat on the lamp with the prince's brother behind our backs, but because the thing was difficult to control, it didn't fly and burned.
When the prince brother found out, he beat me and Yan Yan up. It was the first time I had been beaten, but it made my father feel bad.
My father was so angry that he chased the prince's brother for several streets with a ruler, and everyone in the capital knew about this incident."
Shen Yunxi vividly told stories about her childhood.
Wu Xuanye was amused by her: "So you were beaten when you were a child."
Shen Yunxi looked at the smile on his face and was a little stunned for a moment.
Wu Xuanye asked: "What's wrong? Why are you making such an expression?"
Shen Yunxi said: "You look so beautiful when you smile."
Wu Xuanye was stunned by her praise. He coughed lightly and turned around and asked, "Is this thing safe? I think this thing goes with the wind. How are we going to get back?"
Shen Yunxi said disapprovingly: "Why are you coming back? The prince brother told me to take you to leave southern Xinjiang on the Kongming Lantern."
Wu Xuanye was startled: "Leave Southern Xinjiang?"
Shen Yunxi asked him: "Is it possible that you still want to stay here and serve the Queen?"
She pointed to the things in the basket and said, "Look, the dry food is all ready. We won't come back after we leave."
With that said, she took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Wu Xuanye and said, "Brother Prince, this is for you."
Wu Xuanye took it, opened it, and read the contents of the letter. His expression was hard to describe.
Xiao Chengyi said in the letter that he would entrust Yun Xi to her and ask him to take Yun Xi out of southern Xinjiang and wait for him to meet him at Nanyue.
He held the letter and laughed angrily: "He is so brave."
Let him, a man who has never left southern Xinjiang, take Yunxi to Nanyue.
I'm not afraid that he will lose the person.
Wu Xuanye put away the letter and asked, "Does Xiao Chengyi have any grudge against your father?"
