Climb up the city wall and overlook the prosperity of Kyoto; clusters of fireworks spread golden light all over the city.
Standing on the palace gate tower, overlooking the entire Kyoto, there are bright lights, singing and dancing, and every house is decorated with lights.
In the northwest, you can also see the people in the entire city cheering and dancing, candles lit brightly, with a simple and real joy.
Standing on the high-rise buildings in Kyoto, one can see the lights of the entire city like a long dragon with no end in sight, lighting up the night sky of the imperial city. The prosperity and wealth make one feel as if the world is crawling at one’s feet, and great ambitions arise spontaneously.
"It would be even more beautiful during the Lantern Festival." Xiao Huayong coughed softly a few times, "During the Lantern Festival, there will be a lantern festival, with several lantern shops competing to light lanterns. The tallest lantern tower can be more than dozens of feet high. Once lit, it rotates non-stop, illuminating for miles."
"Really? We'll be able to see it next year." Shen Xihe responded.
"If the princess doesn't mind, I would like to go to the Lantern Festival with you next year." Xiao Huayong made an invitation.
"It's only September now, and there's still a season to go before the Lantern Festival. Who knows what the scene will be like by then? Your Highness, it's good for people to think ahead, but thinking too far ahead will often lead to dashed hopes. You need to be pragmatic and cautious in the present." Shen Yun'an refused on behalf of Shen Xihe.
In response to Shen Yun'an's sarcasm, Xiao Huayong still smiled and said humbly, "Your Highness's words are timely. Yong will learn from your teachings."
It was like a punch hitting cotton. Shen Yun'an snorted coldly and stood on the other side of Shen Xihe. He ignored Xiao Huayong and pointed outside while talking to Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe naturally had to talk to Shen Yun'an, but her upbringing prevented her from ignoring Xiao Huayong. She would take Xiao Huayong into consideration and occasionally ask him about the customs of Kyoto.
Xiao Huayong replied with a smile. In fact, he hoped that Shen Xihe could ignore her. Only in front of his closest relatives would he be unrestrained and unscrupulous, not being polite and courteous.
Because I know they won't care, they will indulge me endlessly.
At this moment, the fireworks were bright, he looked down at the girl with a bright smile, he wanted to be the one who indulged her and let her rely on him with confidence.
Very much.
Want urgently.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking my brother and I to see the prosperity of Kyoto. The wind is strong on the city wall and Your Highness should not catch a cold. Let's leave early." Shen Xihe said softly.
Xiao Huayong could see that she was still elegant and composed, with no change in her expression, but her rare clarity of eyes showed that she was in a very good mood tonight.
I don't know if it was because he brought her here or because there was someone else accompanying her.
Probably the latter.
For a moment, he felt a little depressed.
"I failed to make the princess devote her whole heart. It's my fault for not treating her well enough." Xiao Huayong said apologetically.
Shen Xihe: "No, I am also too weak to bear the cold. If there is a chance in the future, I will go up to the tower with Your Highness to enjoy the scenery."
"Let's go, let's go." Shen Yun'an urged. He couldn't stand this guy quibbling about words and saying sour words to his sister.
Xiao Huayong smiled gently, followed them down the city wall, and personally sent Shen Xihe to the carriage.
The carriage traveled for a while before Shen Yun'an said, "Wait for me here for a moment."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Xiao Huayong still waiting there: "Your Highness, can I have a word with you for a moment?"
Xiao Huayong followed him to a willow bank. The lake was sparkling in the night, and Tianyuan was watching in the distance.
