After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais

At night, Gao Wenyan was lying on the bed, still unable to get over Chu Xu's emotions.

His tone was calm, but Gao Wenyan felt very sad.

She also lost her family in her last life, and she knows this pain better than anyone.

But Chu Xu was not so lucky, he could not go back to the past.

The first time Gao Wenyan met Chu Xu was at the prime minister ceremony four years ago.

The young prime minister wore a red official robe and rode through Chang'an Street.

People were standing on both sides of the road, all wanting to see what Daning's youngest prime minister looked like.

Gao Wenyan was waiting for Gao Wenting on the Xinghua Tower, leaning on the railing, bored.

I saw Chu Xu sitting on the horse and raised his eyes casually.

With their eyes facing each other, Gao Wenyan still looked at him lightly, looking at his eyebrows, his thin lips, and his hands holding the reins.

Soon, he passed by Xinghua Tower and walked away.

But Gao Wenyan has already concluded: Although he looks like an embroidered pillow, he is really good-looking.

Gao Wenting came out and asked her what she was looking at.

"The newly appointed prime minister."

So Gao Wenting also stuck his head out, but he could only see a red back.

"I heard he is quite young."

"It seems like he's only twenty-three." She scoffed, "Look at you, you're only one year younger than him."

Gao Wenting didn't take it seriously, turned her shoulder, walked out, and counterattacked: "Then my good sister, what do you plan to achieve in three years?"

"I'll cut you first."

It turned out that she remembered things like this so clearly, she thought she had forgotten them long ago.

After falling asleep, Gao Wenyan had many messy dreams.

Bits and pieces, there are her in the previous life and seventeen-year-old Chu Xu, but they are not good dreams.

The next day, even Wen Zishu saw her and asked her if she had become a thief, with a sleepy look on her face.

She yawned as she led her horse and prepared to set off.

"You really don't want to stay one more day?"

Gao Wenyan waved his hand and walked away lazily.

Wen Zishu got two customs clearance documents from nowhere, so they returned to Daning openly.

Based on her speed and temperament, Chu Xu thought that she would be full of energy and continue on her way tonight.

However, before it got dark, Gao Wenyan found a lively town to stay.

Chu Xu saw that she was yawning profusely today, so he thought she was tired.

As a result, as soon as she put away her bags, she happily pulled Chu Xu out.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and warm lanterns are lit up everywhere on the streets. People have put out lanterns in the river one after another. The lanterns are swaying down the river, lighting up both sides of the river.

Gao Wenyan put his hands behind his back and looked at him secretly.

"The girl wants to comfort me?"

Chu Xu guessed her intention immediately.

"Ahem." She pretended to cough twice and said, "It's just a coincidence."

"Did Mr. Yan also put out lanterns before?"

He shook his head: "Never."

When his parents left, he was just about to celebrate his sixteenth birthday, an age where he was powerless to change anything. Later, when I lived in that small town in Longnan for several years, I didn’t have the leisure and leisure time to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

"Oh, no."

His eyes flickered slightly and he said, "I let you go once."

"Then let's play it again!"

Gao Wenyan did as he was told and went to the roadside vendor to buy lanterns.

She lit the lantern and carefully placed it in Chu Xu's hand. She smiled and said, "Go ahead."

The lantern entered the water, flickered and floated away from his hand, quickly blending into a river of lights.

His hands were still immersed in the water, and the river flowed, taking away the warmth left by the lanterns.

Gao Wenyan took his hand away and whispered: "They have received it."

Chu Xu came back to his senses and looked at her.

"It just feels amazing."

Seeing the confusion on her face, Chu Xu slowly stood up and said without paying attention: "Let's go, it's time to eat."

However, before they arrived at the restaurant, the two exchanged glances and changed routes in unison.

Chu Xu brought her into the tailor shop. Gao Wenyan frowned and said in disapproval: "There are three people who can hear it, and there is no way to avoid it."

"Can the girl be beaten?"

Those three people's steps were very light. They had received professional training and their skills must be high.

It's not impossible for the two of them to work together, but what scares her is how many "rats" there are in the dark.

"That would be a shame, girl."

He handed Gao Wenyan a piece of clothes.

After the two changed clothes, they temporarily confused each other.

"It's rare to see a girl dressed like this."

Gao Wenyan couldn't help but glare at him: "You still have such leisurely intentions."

Chu Xu chose a red satin embroidered butterfly skirt for her. She usually dressed up for fighting and rarely wore these complicated clothes.

The original intention of the Lantern Festival is to commemorate the deceased relatives. It is not a mourning festival. Instead, many people like to wear red on this day.

Gao Wenyan only thought Chu Xu was there to let her get involved, but he didn't know Chu Xu's selfishness.

The two pretended to be an ordinary man and woman dating, walking around here and stopping there.

Seeing Chu Xu looking at her frequently, Gao Wenyan also turned to look at him, thinking that he had some news to say.

Inserting a gold-plated jade hairpin into her hair, Chu Xu tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then smiled with satisfaction.

Gao Wenyan was actually born extremely beautiful, but his mind was not here and he didn't know it.

Her eyebrows are like willow leaves, her facial features are lively, and the heroic spirit between her eyebrows makes everything more vivid, far beyond the comparison of ordinary women.

Gao Wenyan changed his hairstyle today and felt uncomfortable at first, but suddenly there was an extra hairpin and he reached out to touch it.

Chu Xu thought she was going to take it off, so he gently held her wrist and said with a smile, "Just keep it."

The stall owner was a sensible person and quickly agreed: "This hairpin looks great with a girl! Just buy it, sir!"

So Chu Xu paid the money readily.

"In such a small town, how dare a hairpin be sold so expensively." Gao Wenyan couldn't help but mutter.

She didn't bring enough expenses when she came out this time, so she was extra worried about it.

"A hairpin to match a girl, as it should be."

Under the long sleeved robe, Chu Xu was still holding her wrist. Gao Wenyan looked at the shadow in a daze.

They really looked like a couple on a date, but it was all just an act.

"Yes. Speaking of which, why is the Qiqiao Festival so deserted this year?"

Every year, the Qiqiao Festival is extremely lively, with men and women on the streets, and there are even fireworks.

Gao Wenyan was so busy in those days that he forgot about it. He only remembered it today when he saw the Lantern Festival.

"Guess what?"

There was a smile in his eyes. Gao Wenyan was slightly surprised and said, "Isn't that right?"

Chu Xu nodded and acquiesced.

"I told the Holy Spirit that there are Taoist priests who watch the stars at night and beg for luck."

So there was an imperial edict banning all begging activities this year.

"Why do you do this?"

There was a gentle pinch on the wrist.

He looked at her and smiled frankly: "Because I hate the Qiqiao Festival."
