The twilight is closing, and the lanterns are starting to turn on.
Kyoto's Fengcheng, the imperial city of the Western Regions, looks even more charming under the dim lights, with its unique architecture and various styles.
Although Lan Yuying has been back to the Western Region for a while, she has never left the palace.
Adhering to the concept of stealing a moment of freedom instilled in Xia Chu, she temporarily put aside the haze in her heart, and then looked at the bustling market, her eyes also lit up with a novel light.
The jewels and brocades of the Xiao State, the spice tea from the Western Regions, the famous horses and horses of the Hu State, and the fur and silver ornaments of the Mongolian people are all dazzling. The small Fengcheng is even better than Chang'an.
Seeing those eyes that were even more confused than his own, Xia Chu couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Yue Feng Wan take you out before?"
Lan Yuying looked stunned, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
Xia Chu paused slightly and moved forward, looking past Lan Yuying who was standing in the middle and looking at Yuefeng Wan: "How do you become my brother?"
Lan Yuying quickly grabbed Xia Chu's wrist and pulled it back, whispering: "He has been very good to me."
Xia Chu originally wanted to say a few more words, but was worried that Lan Yuying didn't know that they were actually brothers and sisters from the same mother, and was unfamiliar with Yue Fengwan, but a slightly stiff voice came to his ears: "For the first time, I also no experience."
She raised her head in astonishment, because this sentence was really not something that a murderous Yue Fengwan could say.
The light was heavily refracted by the glass, creating a wave-like light that swayed around Yue Fengwan and Lan Yuying in a daze.
When Xia Chu raised his head, he saw in front of his eyes a pair of beauties that even the craftsmen with incredible craftsmanship could not carve out.
She seemed to recall that when she met Yue Fengwan on the top floor of Wentian Pavilion, she had thought about what a magnificent picture it would be if he and Lan Yuying stood together.
Now, right in front of her eyes, she had to marvel at the unparalleled looks of these two people.
They are indeed brothers and sisters from the same mother. One is charming and charming, the other is peerless and charming.
When a gust of wind came, their blue clothes were blown up, and their black hair slightly fluttered. Yue Feng raised his hand to tuck the messy hair on her temples behind her ears.
Xia Chu saw Lan Yuying smile slightly, and the warmth in her eyes also slightly moved.
"It's good to have a brother..." Xia Chu sighed softly, and Lan Yuying smiled and added: "He can also..."
Yuefeng's hand paused and dropped, and her tone became colder: "I can't be her brother."
Xia Chu looked at his first steps and said, "Who cares? I still have two cousins."
The figure in front of Yue Feng froze slightly. After Xia Chu entered the Western Regions, he could not receive any letters, but he already knew the sad news of Zhao Xingwen's death.
He couldn't help but turn around and glance at her, his eyes filled with complicated tangles that Xia Chu couldn't understand.
"Hurry up and follow." Yue Fengwan dropped this sentence and stepped forward.
Xia Chu rolled her eyes at his back, but Lan Yuying had already taken her arm and chased after him. As they walked, he whispered in her ear: "I think my brother likes you."
Xia Chu picked up the inconspicuous Diandian in the crowd and stuffed it into Lan Yuying's arms. She raised her eyebrows slightly and teased: "Do you know who specifically asked me to bring Diandian?"
Lan Yuying's force around Dot Dot unknowingly increased, causing it to squeak to express its dissatisfaction.
Xia Chu chuckled lightly and pulled her forward: "When I go back, I have something good to pass on to you."
Lan Yuying's eyes dimmed a bit: "What she wants to tell her after she goes back is really not a good thing."
The two girls resumed keeping up with the pace of the moon and the wind, and wandered through the bustling shops, fish shops, pen shops, wine shops, teahouses, etc., all of which were noisy and bustling.
The people rubbing shoulders with each other, the food stalls wandering the streets, the flower girls with colorful flowers, and the slender dancers in the restaurants temporarily washed away the different disturbances in the hearts of the three of them.
"Isn't there a curfew here?" Xia Chu was holding four or five snacks and desserts in his hand, sobbing and chewing a preserved fruit, and his words were a little unclear.
"In the Mingyue Palace, there is endless noise and music playing every night. How can it be that only the state officials set fires and hundreds of people are not allowed to light lamps." Yue Fengwan raised his eyebrows slightly, not taking it seriously.
Xia Chu was dumbfounded by his words and could not refute. Looking at the prosperity before his eyes, he could not blame him for the unrest under his governance.
The long streets extend in all directions. Even though Fengcheng is not big, it takes a lot of energy to walk around it. After walking two streets, Lan Yuying couldn't bear to get on the carriage. From time to time, Xia Chu found some rare items on the street. He got on the carriage to share the weird stuff with her, and then came down again to hang out with Yue Fengwan.
But in a long street, there is always a moment when the walk is finished, and in a busy scene, there is always a moment when the dust has settled.
Even if Xia Chu didn't want to think about it, the end of the street reminded her that after returning to the palace, she would face an urgent answer that she couldn't bear to reveal.
"It seems it's time to return to the palace..." She stood in a depressed mood among the sea of lights, but the lights on the street couldn't illuminate her downcast face, only casting a faint shadow on her profile.
The lantern swaying slightly in the wind cast a wave of light that slowly flowed on her face.
Yue Fengwan stared at her side, so the light seemed to shine on his heart, causing his heart to float like water waves.
He knew very well that Xia Chu would not choose to stay alive, and they would eventually go in opposite directions.
"There is another place that I didn't take you with...you go." After Yue Fengwan said that, he took Xia Chu's wrist and walked towards the carriage, and before she had a chance to refuse, he let go.
The carriage rumbled through the long street, and occasionally one or two lines of light shone faintly on the interior of the carriage through the curtains.
Xia Chu curiously asked where Yuefengwan was going. Under the dimming lights, those starry eyes showed an innocent and innocent look.
Yue Feng turned her clear eyes sideways and looked out of the car as if unintentionally lifting the curtain: "Fengxiang Tower, when you stand up there, you will feel like you are in the galaxy. It is vast and magnificent, and it is very beautiful."
Lan Yuying's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I heard Zi Luo once mentioned that my brother used to go there to relieve the depression in his heart."
Zi Luo happened to be following the carriage, and Yue Feng rolled up the curtain that had been lifted casually, but at this moment she glanced over with cold eyes.
Zi Luo lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, bowed and admitted her mistake: "This subordinate talked too much."
Lan Yuying tugged at Yue Feng's sleeves: "She didn't say anything..."
Xia Chu was also trying to smooth things over: "What a good subordinate. He takes the initiative to care for his master and doesn't ask me for that..."
"My subordinates have not shown any concern, please let me know clearly." Bian Ding's inquiry suddenly sounded from the other side of the unopened window.
Through the gap in the car curtain, Xia Chu could still see the line of Bian Ding's clenched jaw...
