"I don"t want it. It"s no use taking it."
Mu Yunjin pursed her mouth, put her hands behind her, and frowned slightly.
"You girls, when you see this kind of things, you can"t move your eyes. Why are you the only one calm?"
Mu Yunhan smiled, pulled out Mu Yunjin"s hand from behind her and then put the lotus lantern in Mu Yunjin"s palm.
Mu Yunjin looked down at the small lotus lantern in her hand, and her thoughts were a little complicated for a while.
At this time, Zhuang Yuyan and Mu Xiarou came together, each holding a lotus lantern that had already been lit, smiling towards Mu Yunjin.
"Yunjin meimei, there are pens and paper over there. You can write down your wishes, and then put the lotus lantern in the Narcissus Lake. The wishes will come true soon."
Zhuang Yuyan informed her.
Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, pursed her lip, and went to the place where the pen and paper were laid aside.
After a long time, Mu Yunjin looked at the blank paper in front of her. She haven"t started writing. She thought for a long time and seemed to have no desire to make a wish.
Thinking about it, Mu Yunjin tugged the corner of her mouth. She rolled up the blank paper and put it into the lotus lantern.
"Can"t write?"
A cold and lazy voice came from behind Mu Yunjin, careless, with a hint of teasing.
Listening to this voice, Mu Yunjin"s breathing was suffocated. When she turned back, a black gowned Chu Li was standing behind her, his countenance were indifferent but his eyes were smiling at Mu Yunjin.
"Why are you here?"
For Chu Li"s sudden appearance, Mu Yunjin was somewhat surprised. After her surprise, she averted her eyes and bowed her head to light the candle in the lotus lantern.
Before Chu Li answered, an excited voice came from the stall beside him.
"Li gege, the lotus lanterns here are all beautiful."
Hearing this voice, Mu Yunjin gave a sneer, squinted slightly, held the lotus lantern in her hand and looked at Chu Li.
"I wondered why His Royal Highness Liu Huangzi would go out at night, it seems its because he is accompanied by a beautiful woman."
When her words fell, Mu Yunjin let out a gentle and cold breath, then she no longer paid attention to them and walked towards the direction of Narcissus Lake.
As she turned her back to Chu Li, Mu Yunjin"s face gradually darkened and steadied herself. She walked down the steps to Narcissus Lake.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin"s back view, with a pair of ice cold, glazed eyes but with a hint of gentleness. Ding Xian stood beside Chu Li, looking at the scene in front of him, he sighed helplessly.
"Your Highness, before the black lotus is fully nurtured, should we let Qin Xiaojie come so freely that the huangzi fei would mistakenly think you are interested in Qin Xiaojie?"
"Let us discuss it later."
Chu Li slightly twisted his eyebrows. Out of the corners of his eyes, he swept a look at Qin Muyue who was still choosing lotus lantern. His eyes were full of coldness.
Ding Xian nodded, looked at Mu Yunjin"s figure not far away, and twitched his lips.
"Your Highness, it"s better to coax the Liu Huangzi fei now, and I will go with Qin Xiaojie."
As soon as his words fell, he did not wait for Chu Li to open his mouth, Ding Xian ran in Qin Muyue"s direction.
……….
Mu Yunjin sat on the steps beside the lake. She did not put down the lotus lantern. From time to time, there came the sounds of laughter of young men and women around her.
"Bei ge, my wish on the lotus lantern is that we can live together forever and be happy forever."
"Lord Husband, I just made a wish that we could have another daughter next year, and that the whole family could make up a good word to share with family."
"Husband, I….."
Mu Yunjin took a breath, pouted her lips, muttered inwardly that today is not Valentine"s day, they could just release the lantern and go, everyone of them are corny.
(TL: Our Female lead is eating dog food lolz)
Think about it, she put the lotus lantern in her hands in the Narcissus Lake, it gradually float away.
Seeing the Lotus Lantern drifting away, Mu Yunjin sat up and patted her clothes, with a faint smile on her lips, this is considered completion of her task.
Also, before Qin Muyue comes, she should go first.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Chu Li on the top of the steps. Two people"s eyes met in the air instantly, with an indescribable meaning in it.
Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes, and her mood was slightly complicated. She sighed and did not know what had happened to her these two days. How could she feel so awkward when she saw Chu Li!
"Mu Yunjin, come up."
Chu Li saw that she stood motionless, he called with a slight curve of his lips.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and was about to step on the stairs when there was a burst of noise behind her, followed by the sound of people around Narcissus Lake, accompanied by a cry.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao!"
Mu Yunjin followed the sound and saw on the surface of Narcissus Lake, there was a constantly fluttering figure of a child, a woman on the sh.o.r.e was crying in the dark sky.
Seeing no one around is jumping down the lake to save the child, Mu Yunjin turned around almost without hesitation and jumped into Narcissus Lake to swim towards the drowning child.
It was summer, the water of the lake is piercing ice cold. Mu Yunjin swam to the child"s side and was about to drag him to the sh.o.r.e when she found something wrapped around the child"s feet.
Mu Yunjin pulled a few more times. Seeing that he couldn"t move, she plunged herself into the lake and searched for something that entangled the child"s feet through the light from a lotus lamp near the lake.
Chu Li stood on the sh.o.r.e and watched the scene. His eyebrows twisted and he took a few steps forward. In the haze, he could see that the child who had drowned had been lifted up. At this time, his head was exposed and he did not choke on the lake water.
But Mu Yunjin"s figure is nowhere to be seen.
Mu Yunjin was holding his breath at this time, supporting the child"s body with one hand, so that he would not be choked by the lake water. She was pulling the water plant around him with one hand.
Gradually, Mu Yunjin felt a little strained, half of her body"s center of gravity was supporting the child, at this time there was no strength to untie those plants.
Thinking about it, Mu Yunjin pulled out her dagger and began to work hard to cut the plants.
Chu Li stood on the sh.o.r.e, caught a glimpse of a poor light at the bottom of the lake. His handsome face was suddenly covered with a piece of frost. A little tiptoe made him fly to the center of the lake. Then he bent down and pulled the child"s shoulder and lifted him up.
Mu Yunjin who is underwater felt the weight of her hands suddenly lighten, she felt joy in her heart, she accelerated the action of cutting the water plant and soon, those dead and entangled water plants were cut off by Mu Yunjin.
Meanwhile, Chu Li pulled the child"s whole body out of the water and flew to the sh.o.r.e.
When Mu Yunjin emerged from the water, she saw the scene of Chu Li taking the child back to the sh.o.r.e, knowing that Chu Li had just helped her share the weight.
When Mu Yunjin returned to the sh.o.r.e, she sat paralyzed on the ground and gasped for air.
"Thank you very much, guniang, gongzi. If it weren"t for you, my family"s Xiao Bao would be more or less miserable today."
The woman took the child in her arms and went to Mu Yunjin and Chu Li to thank them repeatedly.
Chu Li looked at the immovable Mu Yunjin, sitting on the ground, he slightly raised an eyebrow.
"You can thank her."
"Yes, yes, yes thank you for this guniang. Where do you live? Tomorrow when I have settled in Xiaobao, I will surely take my husband to thank you."
Asked the woman.
Mu Yunjin waved her hand and smiled at the woman.
"It"s trivial. It is just a matter of raising a hand. Next time, don"t bring your child to such a dangerous place."
When the words just fell, the figures of Mu Yunhan and Zhuang Yuyan ran over. When they saw Mu Yunjin covered with water, Mu Yunhan frowned and said,
"Yunjin, Just now, is it you who just jumped into the lake to save a person?"
"Yunjin?"
In the crowd, some people heard the name and were stunned slightly. Then they looked at the people beside them and shouted:
"Liu huangzi and Liu huangzi fei saved the child just now."
"What? Liu huangzi fei?"
The woman holding the child was frightened, then looked carefully at Mu Yunjin and Chu Li, and immediately pulled the child to kneel together.
"I did not know it was the Liu huangzi and Liu huangzi fei. I also ask these two distinguished people to forgive this woman for her rudeness."
Seeing that the perfectly fine lantern festival will end like this, Mu Yunjin is a little helpless. Just as she is ready to get up someone reached out and carried her before walking to the path.
Mu Yunjin slightly stiffened, she looked up at the person holding her, she lowered her eyes.
"My clothes are wet, you put me down. "
"Ben huangzi will take you back."
Chu Li lightly replied, there is no intention of putting Mu Yunjin down.
On one side of the pathway, Qin Muyue leaned against a pillar, and the scene of jumping into the lake to save a person completely entered her eyes. At this moment, she watched Chu Li approaching slowly with Mu Yunjin in his arms, and her face was somewhat congealed.
"Li gege, Yunjin saosao."
Qin Muyue ran past and came up to them.
"Ding Xian, you send Qin Xiaojie back first."
Chu Li glanced at Qin Muyue and opened his mouth to Ding Xian on the other side.
Ding Xian immediately nodded.
Qin Muyue twisted her eyebrows slightly and when she was about to call out she was stopped by Ding Xian.
"Liu huangzi fei fell into the water to save a person and might catch a cold. His Highness would have to comfort her when she returns home, the time is not too early. Miss Qin might as well return to the General"s Fu first. "
"All right."
Qin Muyue lowered her eyes and looked at the lotus flower lantern which has not been released. She tossed the lotus lantern on the ground and turned to go back to the General"s Fu.
Ding Xian glanced at the broken lotus lantern, shook his head and sighed.
Back in the carriage, Mu Yunjin leaned against the carriage, at this time she had calmed down, her body gradually felt cold.
"Aren"t you cold?"
Chu Li sat at the side, looking at Mu Yunjin"s pale face, his eyes flashed slightly.
Mu Yunjin shook her head.
"I"m all right."
"Few women have an ability to swim, Mu Yunjin, today you let ben huangzi look up to you."
Chu Li smiled shallowly and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"So you used to look down on me?"
Mu Yunjin gave a sharp sidelong glance, and regardless of the wetness of her clothes, she put one leg across her and tried to look for a comfortable position.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin"s raised legs and frowned slightly, but saw that her clothes are still dripping. He simply opened one eye and closed the other eye for her this time.
After getting out of the carriage, and stood firm outside, Mu Yunjin felt cold and was shaken by the night wind, and then she walked quickly to the huangzi fu.
As soon as she entered the fu, Shen Momo saw this scene and exclaimed:
"Oh, Huangzi fei, what happened to you?"
"Shen Momo, go and prepare a bowl of ginger soup for her."
