A lovesickness and two leisurely sorrows
Wish: Father's health is healthy.
Wish: The eldest sister gave birth to Lin'er safely.
Wish: The second sister's brows will be raised as soon as possible, and the days to come will be comfortable and happy.
Nangong Jingnu quickly finished writing the three sides of Kongming Lantern, turned to the fourth side, couldn't help but glanced at Qi Yan, bit her lip and wrote: May Qi Yan live a hundred years.
The tip of the pen paused for a while, and then added a line of small characters at the back: I wish to visit a famous doctor and cure his eyes...
Although she was a little shy when she was writing and left the last stroke, Nangong Jingnu generously handed the pen to Qi Yan without covering it up.
Qi Yan's eyes swept across the blush on the other side's face, and she couldn't help but sigh: Nangong Jingnu hardly has any thoughts of the younger daughter's family, and she treats everything in such a direct and magnanimous manner. No matter whether you are tired or happy, you never hide it.
Qi Yan took the brush and wrote without hesitation: Your Highness's wish is the wish of the minister.
Nangong Jingnu's heart was filled with uncontrollable emotion and joy, and then her eyes dimmed, and she murmured, "You are really a shepherd..."
Qi Yan's wrist flicked: "Dang... Third brother?"
Nangong Jingnu took a deep breath and said with a smile, "It's nothing, there are four sides to the Kongming lantern, don't you promise one for yourself?"
Qi Yan replied softly, "This is my wish."
Nangong Jingnu was silent, took the fire and lit the two's Kongming lantern.
After a while, two Kongming lanterns rose slowly.
The two raised their heads and quietly watched the Kongming Lantern rise into the air.
Nangong Jingnu asked, "Where will the Kongming Lantern float to?"
"Heaven."
"Will our wishes come true?"
"Sincerity is spirit."
Nangong Jingnu retracted her gaze and took Qi Yan's hand: "Let's go, let's set off the lanterns."
"it is good."
The two walked along the river for a long time before they found a lantern stall that had not been confiscated. At this time, it was close to the third watch, there were not a few people on both sides of the river, and there was not a single river lantern on the dark river.
Nangong Jingnu took the purse and bought all the river lanterns owned by the hawker. The other party handed the Huo Zhezi to Qi Yan and left with great gratitude.
"On such a wide river with only two lanterns, it looks lonely. I'm also a good person to let the boss go home early."
Qi Yan chuckled, Nangong Jingnu stood by the bridge and glanced at it, Qi Yan said, "You wait here first, the lights are dark and the road is dark here, Ben Gong will pick a place to pick you up."
"it is good."
Nangong Jingnv got off the bridge and found a flat open space by the river. There were two large rocks on the bank where people could sit, which was an excellent place to put lights.
She put the river lantern in her arms aside, turned back to the bridge and held Qi Yan's hand: "There are twelve steps down the bridge, count them."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Come on, there's a rock in front of you."
"Um."
When they came to the open space, Nangong Jingnv first took the straw pillar in Qi Yan's hand and inserted it into the snowdrift, holding her hand: "Sit slowly, there is a stone next to you, sit on it."
After Qi Yan was seated, Nangong Jingnu also sat beside her, broke open the fire book and blew, and lit a dozen lanterns one by one.
She picked up a river lantern and handed it to Qi Yan. After thinking about it, she retracted her hand: "Bengong will put it for you."
"it is good."
Nangong Jingnv squatted down to the river and put all the lanterns into the river. This section of the river bank is located downstream, the water flow is gentle, and the lanterns drift very slowly, which is suitable for enjoying.
Nangong Jingnu sat back beside Qi Yan, hugged her knees and watched the lanterns gather in twos and threes, slowly drifting away.
"Qi Yan."
"Um?"
"Ben Gong wants to ask a question, you must not be angry or think too much."
"Just ask, Your Highness."
"Well... I wonder, what do you see at night?"
Qi Yan thought for a while and replied, "You can barely see the glowing things, but the ones around them seem to be covered with a black cloth, so you can't tell them apart."
"So it's like this..." Nangong Jingnu raised her hand and pointed at the lanterns: "Can you see them clearly?"
"This distance is naturally possible."
Nangong Jingnu pointed to the sky again: "Where are the stars in the sky?"
Qi Yan shook his head: "No way."
She looked up at the sky full of stars, and white smoke floated out of her mouth: "It's a pity."
Seeing that the people around her did not speak, Nangong Jingnu withdrew her gaze and turned her head, but saw Qi Yanzheng looking at her tenderly: "The stars are so close, what a pity?"
Nangong Jingnu was stunned and stared at Qi Yan's eyes, she always thought that these amber eyes were beautiful, but unfortunately they were always covered with a layer of mist that could not be dispersed, dim and lost. the charm.
At this moment, Nangong Jingnu was surprised to find that the layer of mist had disappeared!
It turns out that these eyes can also be ambiguous, so bright.
But when she thought that Qi Yan was a shepherd, Nangong Jingnu's chest felt a little tight, and she sniffed: "It's getting late, let's go back to the house."
"it is good."
The two walked hand in hand on the way back to the mansion, Nangong Jingnu said nothing, and Qi Yan followed suit.
Chuntao stood at the back door of the Princess' Mansion, folded her hands and prayed to the sky, wondering what she was talking about.
"Chun Tao!"
Chuntao looked at him suddenly, and said, "The Bodhisattva has revealed his spirit." He trotted all the way to the two of them: "Your Highness is back! It scared the slaves to death!"
"The concubine brought you and Qiu Ju the candied haws, you take it. He carried it all the way."
Only then did Chuntao look at Qi Yan, and said a thousand blessings: "Thank you, concubine, and hand it over to the slaves."
"There is sister Lao Chuntao."
Nangong Jingnu's chest was jammed into a panic. If she had been so lucky in Qiyan's identity before, she would be gone after seeing his handwritten words.
Thinking that the second sister regarded this person's fan as a treasure, and that she also gave the second sister an authentic painting of a shepherd layman, and felt even more uncomfortable.
It's abominable that he didn't speak on the way back to the mansion, this person didn't even ask a question!
After finally walking to the dormitory, and seeing the red lantern hanging at the door of the hall, Nangong Jingnu had the feeling that she had lifted a stone and hit her.
The lamp is hung by herself, and the palace servants will serve the dormitory in the morning but the concubine will not be seen. If it spreads out, I am afraid that it will become a princess bullying the concubine and driving people out in the middle of the night...
The two went to take a bath to remove the cold, and it had been four watch when they came back.
Nangong Jingnu's sleepy eyelid fight didn't bother to think too much, so she got on the bed and fell asleep.
Seeing that there was still no quilt on the couch, Qi Yan took out a pill to restrain nightmares, blew the light, and groped back to the bed.
It was a night without dreams, the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth, dispelling the darkness, and also passed through the window of Princess Zhen Zhen's residence.
Qi Yan slowly opened her eyes, feeling her shoulders tensed consciously, and relaxed after smelling a familiar breath.
She turned her head and glanced, she was still sleeping where she was last night. It's just that Nangong Jingnu, who was sleeping inside, rolled to the outside at some point and was resting on her shoulder.
If it wasn't for her to block the outside, I don't know if she would fall to the ground.
Nangong Jingnu's sleeping face is very peaceful and beautiful. She was born fair and her facial features are extremely delicate.
It's just that when she was awake, those dark eyes were so smart that they took away the grace of her face, and her cheerful words and deeds made people "ignore" her appearance.
At this time, she fell asleep quietly, and the "suppressed" beauty was completely highlighted, and even Qi Yan couldn't bear to destroy this quiet and picturesque beauty.
Qi Yan retracted her gaze and let out a sigh that was almost inaudible.
Perhaps it was a good night's sleep that temporarily washed away her complicated thoughts, and she actually felt a sense of regret.
Your Highness, if you weren't born in the Nangong family, how wonderful would it be? Then maybe we can really be friends.
It's a pity that your surname is Nangong...
Then, before the servant kills you with his own hands... I will work hard to fulfill all your wishes. This is to compensate for your sincere love for me.
It was already bright outside the window. Half of Qi Yan's body was numb, but she still maintained a motionless posture, letting the other side rest on her pillow.
Three poles in the sun, Nangong Jingnu woke up leisurely.
Probably Chuntao and Qiuju knew that Nangong Jingnu slept late, and for the first time ever, did not come to invite her.
Nangong Jingnu snorted comfortably and slowly opened her eyes. Before that, Qi Yan had already closed his eyes.
Nangong Jingnu stared at Qi Yan's side face with her misty eyes and blinked. She realized that she was lying on the other's shoulder, her face flushed, but she didn't leave.
This is the second time they woke up hugging each other, the last time they were too drunk to look carefully.
Nangong Jingnu found that Qi Yan's profile was very three-dimensional, the brow bones were raised, and the eye sockets were slightly sunken. No wonder he felt that his eyes were always covered with a layer of mist.
Below the straight peak of the nose: a pair of slightly sensual lips, I don't remember which miscellaneous book I read this sentence: People with thick lips are mostly clumsy. Not quite.
Although he doesn't speak much, he is determined not to be a fool.
I used to think that this life was a bit feminine, but through this observation, Nangong Jingnu discovered the toughness hidden in his profile that did not belong to a woman.
Just like his temperament, Wen Run Zhili but perseverance.
Nangong Jingnv sighed softly and lifted her body away from Qi Yan's embrace.
"How good would you be if you weren't a shepherd..."
Nangong Jingnu had been holding back these words in her heart all night, and she was unhappy. While Qi Yan was "sleeping", she finally had a chance to tell this person, otherwise she was really afraid that she couldn't hold back and ask.
Qi Yan heard it clearly, and couldn't help but wonder to herself: Nangong Jingnu also said similar things when she was writing about the Kongming lantern last night.
Then the mood went down.
Is there any allusion hidden in his pseudonym? But the name "Shepherd Lay" has only been used a few times. Could it be that there is a problem in the study
"Tuk Tuk Tuk."
Chun Tao and Qiu Ju led two teams of maids and knocked on the door of the dormitory: "His Royal Highness, it's noon. It's time to get up and eat."
Qi Yan opened her eyes and saw that Nangong Jingnu was facing her back, she called softly, "Your Highness, it's time to get up."
"… Well, I see."
"The two elder sisters Chuntao and Qiuju are waiting outside the hall, pass?"
"pass."
Nangong Jingnu rubbed her eyes and sat up, but did not look at Qi Yan.
