"I don't want this, it's useless." Mu Yunjin curled her lips, put her hands behind her back, and frowned slightly.
"You girls, when you see this kind of thing, you can't move your eyes away. Why are you so calm?" Mu Yunhan smiled, pulled Mu Yunjin's hand behind him, and then put the lotus lantern on It reached Mu Yunjin's palm.
Mu Yunjin looked down at the small lotus lantern in her hand, and her thoughts were complicated for a while.
At this time, Zhuang Yuyan and Mu Xiarou walked over together, each holding a lit lotus lantern in their hands, and looked at Mu Yunjin with a smile.
"Sister Yun Jin, there is a pen and paper over there, you can write your wish on it, and then put the lotus lantern in Narcissus Lake, the wish will come true soon." Zhuang Yuyan said.
Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, pursed her lips, and walked to the place where the pen and paper were placed aside.
For a long while, Mu Yunjin looked at the blank paper in front of her, not intending to draw a pen and write. After thinking for a long time, it seemed that she had no wish to fulfill.
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin twitched the corners of her mouth, rolled up the blank piece of paper, and put the paper into the lotus lantern.
"Can't write?"
A cold and lazy voice came from behind Mu Yunjin, carelessly, with a hint of playfulness.
Hearing this voice, Mu Yunjin suffocated inexplicably, and when she turned around, Chu Li in a dark brocade robe was standing behind her, with a faint smile on her face and looking at Mu Yunjin.
"Why are you here?"
For Chu Li's sudden appearance, Mu Yunjin was somewhat surprised. After the surprise, she turned her eyes away and lowered her head to light the candle in the lotus lantern.
Before Chu Li could answer, an excited voice came from the stall beside him, "Brother Li, the lotus lanterns here are so beautiful."
Hearing this voice, Mu Yunjin sneered, narrowed her eyes slightly, held the lotus lantern in her hand, and looked at Chu Li, "I still wonder why His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince would go out in the dark, so he was accompanied by a beautiful woman."
After saying that, Mu Yunjin let out a soft snort, ignored Chu Li, and walked in the direction of Narcissus Lake.
Walking with her back to Chu Li, Mu Yunjin's expression gradually darkened, and with a sullen face, she walked down the steps to the Narcissus Lake.
Chu Li stared at Mu Yunjin's back, a pair of cold glazed eyes covered with a bit of warmth, Ding Xian stood beside Chu Li, looked at the scene in front of him, and sighed helplessly.
"Your Highness, before Hei Lian has been cultivated, if we let Miss Qin come here like this, will the princess mistakenly think that you are interested in Miss Qin?"
"Let's talk about it." Chu Li frowned slightly, glanced at Qin Muyue who was still picking out lotus lanterns from the corner of his eye, his eyes were full of coldness.
Ding Xian nodded, looked at Mu Yunjin's figure not far away, curled his lips, "His Royal Highness, why not coax the sixth prince and concubine now, the little one first go to the side to stabilize Miss Qin."
After the words fell, before Chu Li could speak, Ding Xian ran towards Qin Muyue beside him.
…
Sitting on the steps by the lake, Mu Yunjin has not put down the lotus lantern in her hand for a long time, and the laughter of young men and women can be heard from time to time beside her—
"Brother Bei, the wish I made on the lotus lantern is that we can grow old together and live happily ever after."
"Sir, I just made a wish. I hope we can have another daughter next year, so that the whole family can have a good character and share the family relationship."
"Husband, I..."
Mu Yunjin took a breath, curled her lips, and muttered secretly, today is not Qixi Festival, it's just a lantern, how come everyone is so disgusting.
After thinking about it, he put the lotus lantern in his hand into the Narcissus Lake, and gradually floated away along the lake water.
Seeing the lotus lantern floating away, Mu Yunjin sat up, patted on her clothes, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips, so she must have completed the task.
That's fine, let's go before Qin Muyue comes over to set off the lamp.
When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Chu Li on the edge of the first step in front of him, the eyes of the two met in the air instantly, and their eyes met with an unspeakable meaning.
Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes, her mood was slightly complicated, she sighed slightly, she didn't know what had happened to her these two days, why did she feel so awkward when she saw Chu Li!
"Mu Yunjin, come up." Chu Li saw that she was standing still, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, and when she was about to step up the steps, there was a "plop" sound from behind, followed by the roar of people around Narcissus Lake, accompanied by a mournful cry—
"Little Treasure, Little Treasure!"
Mu Yunjin followed the sound and saw the figure of a child thrashing about on the surface of Narcissus Lake, and a woman on the shore was crying faintly.
Seeing that no one was going to jump into the lake to save the child, Mu Yunjin turned around without any hesitation, jumped into the Narcissus Lake, and swam towards the drowning child.
It was the beginning of summer, and the lake was not freezing cold. Mu Yunjin swam to the side of the child in two or three strokes, and when she was about to drag him to the shore, she found that something seemed to be entangled with the child's feet.
Mu Yunjin pulled it a few more times, and seeing that she couldn't pull it anymore, she buried her body and leaned her whole body into the lake. Through the light from the lotus lanterns by the lake, she looked for the child who was entwined with the child's feet. thing.
Chu Li stood on the shore watching this scene, frowned, and walked a few steps forward. In the dimness, he could see that the body of the drowning child 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 was no where to be seen.
At this moment, Mu Yunjin was holding her breath, supporting the child's body with one hand to prevent him from being choked by the lake water, while with the other hand she was pulling vigorously at the aquatic plants that entangled him.
Gradually, Mu Yunjin felt a little strenuous, half of her body was supporting the child, and she didn't have the strength to untie those aquatic plants at this moment.
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin pulled out the dagger she carried with her and began to cut those aquatic plants with great difficulty.
Standing on the shore, Chu Li caught a glimpse of a cold light at the bottom of the lake, and his handsome face was immediately stained with frost. With a tap of his toes, he flew away to the center of the lake with lightness kung fu, then bent down and pulled out the child's shoulders, He raised it up.
Mu Yunjin at the bottom of the water felt the weight on her hand suddenly lighten, she was overjoyed, and speeded up the movement of cutting the aquatic plants. After a while, Mu Yunjin cut all the tightly entwined aquatic plants.
At the same time, Chu Li pulled the child out of the water and flew to the shore.
When Mu Yunjin came out of the water, she saw the scene where Chu Li brought the child back to the shore, and knew that it was Chu Li who helped her share the weight just now.
When Mu Yunjin returned to the shore, she sat slumped on the steps, gasping for breath.
"This girl, this young master, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, my little treasure would have been in trouble today." The woman walked up to Mu Yunjin and Chu Li with the child in her arms, and thanked her repeatedly.
Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin who was sitting motionless on the ground, his clear eyes raised slightly, "You can just thank her."
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, girl. May I ask where you live? Tomorrow, after I settle down with Xiaobao, I will definitely bring my husband-in-law to come to thank you." The woman asked.
Mu Yunjin waved her hand and smiled at the woman, "It's just a trivial matter, it's easy to do, next time don't bring your child to such a dangerous place."
As soon as the words were finished, the figures of Mu Yunhan and Zhuang Yuyan ran over. Seeing Mu Yunjin covered in water, Mu Yunhan frowned and said, "Yunjin, you just jumped into the lake to save people?"
"Yunjin?" Someone in the crowd was slightly stunned when they heard the name, and then when they looked at the person next to Mu Yunjin, someone immediately shouted, "It was the sixth prince and the sixth concubine who saved this child."
"What? The sixth concubine?" The woman who was holding the child was startled, and after carefully looking at Mu Yunjin and Chu Li, she immediately pulled the child and knelt down together.
"I don't know if it's the sixth prince and the sixth prince's concubine, but please forgive the rudeness of the women."
Seeing that the beautiful lanterns were made like this, Mu Yunjin was a little helpless, and when she was about to get up, someone had already stretched out her hand and hugged her horizontally, and walked towards the corridor.
Mu Yunjin froze slightly, looked up at the person holding her, then lowered her eyes, "My clothes are all wet, please let me down."
"My prince will take you back." Chu Li said calmly, not intending to let Mu Yunjin down.
On the side of the corridor, Qin Muyue was leaning against a pillar. The scene of Mu Yunjin jumping into the lake to save people just now caught her eyes completely. At this moment, she saw Chu Li holding Mu Yunjin and slowly approaching , complexion a little condensed.
"Brother Li, sister-in-law Yun Jin." Qin Muyue ran over and walked up to the two of them.
"Ding Xian, you send Miss Qin back first." Chu Li glanced at Qin Muyue, and said to Ding Xian who was beside him.
Ding Xian immediately nodded knowingly.
Qin Muyue frowned slightly, and when she was about to catch up, she was stopped by Ding Xian, "The sixth concubine fell into the water to save someone from the cold, I'm afraid His Highness will have to comfort her when she goes back, it's getting late, Miss Qin, why don't you go first?" Go back to the general's mansion."
"Okay then." Qin Muyue lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the lotus lantern she bought and hadn't let it go yet, raised her hand and threw the lotus lantern to the ground beside her, turned around and walked back to the general's mansion.
Ding Xian glanced at the shattered lotus lantern, shook his head, and sighed.
On the carriage going back, Mu Yunjin leaned against the carriage, and after she calmed down, she gradually felt a chill in her body.
"Is it cold?" Chu Li sat aside, looking at Mu Yunjin's pale face, his eyes flickered slightly.
Mu Yunjin shook her head, "I'm fine."
"It's rare for a woman to be able to swim, Mu Yunjin, today you let me look at you once again." Chu Li smiled slightly, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"So, you've been underestimating me before?" Mu Yunjin cast a sidelong glance at Chu Li, and regardless of how wet her clothes were, she put one leg on the opposite side and found a comfortable position to lean against.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin's raised leg and frowned slightly, but seeing her dripping clothes, he simply opened or closed one eye and let her do it this time.
After getting off the carriage, as soon as Mu Yunjin stood firm, she was shivered by the night wind, and then walked quickly to the prince's mansion.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Shen Momo saw this scene head-on and exclaimed, "Oh, princess, what's going on?"
"Sister Shen, go prepare a bowl of ginger soup for her."
