Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"Yingying, there will also be fireworks in the palace tonight, which will be more beautiful than those in the capital. Do you want to go and see them?" Lu Ziren asked Xia Yingying.

The atmosphere at this moment is too warm. Lu Ziren

He thought of holding Xia Yingying forever, but he also knew that this was not very realistic.

There was very little communication and activities between them. Xia Yingying wanted to watch the fireworks, so they went together and built some beautiful memories together.

The three children are quite perceptive. Seeing them being intimate together, they know to avoid suspicion. That’s good. We can give them more red envelopes of New Year’s money later.

Lu Ziren felt that there was nothing he and Xia Yingying could do in the courtyard.

There are acquaintances everywhere, and Xia Yingying is shy. Lu Ziren wants to develop a relationship with Xia Yingying, but he always feels restricted everywhere.

Xia Yingying's eyes were fixed on the colorful fireworks in the sky. She liked it, so she would accept his invitation.

The best fireworks in the capital are in the imperial palace and are exclusively enjoyed by the emperor's family. Even though there are people in the folks who can make majestic and beautiful fireworks, the emperor does not allow others to challenge his privileges. Therefore, the fireworks in the capital are all similar and mediocre.

Originally, Lu Ziren could have taken Xia Yingying to the palace to attend a palace banquet today, and he could also have taken the opportunity to watch the beautiful fireworks show in the palace, but Lu Ziren did not go because he did not like that solemn scene. But now, he regretted it. At least he could fulfill Xia Yingying's wish to watch the fireworks in the palace.

Of course Xia Yingying thought about it, but as two ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to enter the palace. Although Xia Yingying is a modern person, she also knows that the palace is not a place that one can enter just because they want to.

"Can we get in? We can't barge into a place like the palace. If we are discovered, the consequences will be serious." Xia Yingying said with a frown.

Although Xia Yingying did not say directly that she wanted to go, Lu Ziren knew Xia Yingying's true thoughts through her words.

"It's okay. If you want to go, I'll take you. Nothing will happen. Don't worry. I'll take care of you. I'll protect you."

Lu Ziren said to Xia Yingying with a steady face.

Xia Yingying wanted to say something, but she felt a pair of warm hands around her waist.

The next moment, Xia Yingying was floating lightly in the air, and Lu Ziren was holding Xia Yingying, and the two of them were flying in the air like gods.

The house was at her feet, the orange light was dim, and Xia Yingying hugged Lu Ziren tightly, not daring to move.

Only after she calmed down did Xia Yingying dare to open her eyes to look at the scenery.

The red lanterns beneath her feet emitted a warm glow in the dark night. Not far away and in the distance, there were the sounds of firecrackers. In the sky, fireworks rose up from time to time and exploded in the sky. Under the canopy, in addition to the sound of firecrackers, there were also the sounds of people. Xia Yingying was distracted as she watched.

Xia Yingying was wearing a maroon cloak, the same color as Lu Ziren's cloak, and the two of them were floating in the air like a fairy couple.

Xia Yingying knew that this was a Qinggong technique, and she also knew that Lu Ziren would not let her get hurt at all. However, because they were floating in the air with no support around them, Xia Yingying hugged Lu Ziren tighter, as if she was hugging a huge tree, with both hands wrapped around Lu Ziren.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Lu Ziren said softly.

There was a gentle breeze blowing in the air, and it was still a bit chilly. Xia Yingying felt a little cold, so she naturally buried her head in Lu Ziren's chest and turned her face to look at the scenery along the way.

Lu Ziren could smell the faint fragrance coming from Xia Yingying. That fragrance hooked his heart and made it beat faster. Even his face and the places where his hands touched Xia Yingying became hot.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the attic in the capital.

From the attic you can have a panoramic view of all places in the capital except the imperial palace.

The entire area of ​​the capital was lit up by red lanterns. There were also the sounds of happy family conversations and festive firecrackers. It seemed that only these constituted the most authentic fireworks scene in Daliang.

When they reached the attic, Lu Ziren did not put Xia Yingying on the ground immediately, but hugged her tightly.

But when Xia Yingying saw the attic, she jumped down on her own initiative, and Lu Ziren had to let go of Xia Yingying's hand.

Lu Ziren was very tactful. He followed behind Xia Yingying without saying a word. Xia Yingying stared closely at the lights of thousands of homes.

"How do you know that you can see the capital from here?" Xia Yingying asked curiously.

"After I joined the army, Prince Kang valued me and I went back to the capital with him to report. At that time, Prince Kang had to stay in the capital for a while, and the soldiers under Prince Kang happened to take over the job of guarding the city gate, so I once guarded the city gate for a period of time.

At that time, I went to all places in Beijing, so naturally I knew about this attic.

At that time, I was standing here alone, looking at the lights of the capital, feeling sad. I thought that in this life, no one would accompany me to see this scenery, but now I have waited for it. Yingying, thank you, thank you for staying by my side. "

Xia Yingying listened to Lu Ziren explaining some of his past when he was young, and then heard Lu Ziren suddenly change the subject and thank her. This turn of events was so big that Xia Yingying was completely stunned.

But who is King Kang? There is no mention of this person in the original novel.

Xia Yingying suppressed her curiosity and spoke some nonsense in a soft voice.

"We are a family, and family members should help each other. Besides, I just did what I should do. There is no thank you or no thank you between us. According to what you said, I should thank you today. If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have known that I could see such a beautiful scenery."

"I'm sorry, Yingying. Today you can only stand here and watch the fireworks in the palace. I will definitely take you to the palace to watch them on the Lantern Festival. Please wait for me, please wait for me, okay?"

Lu Ziren immediately made a promise to Xia Yingying, but it was all his fault for thinking too simply at the time, so he had to postpone it.

Seeing Lu Ziren's sincerity, Xia Yingying wanted to refuse, but in the end she didn't and nodded.

But it is still dangerous inside the palace. If possible, Xia Yingying would rather never enter the palace.

"It doesn't really matter whether I enter the palace or not. I'm just a country woman who doesn't know the etiquette of the palace. I'm afraid of offending the nobles. It's fine to just watch from outside the palace. I've seen a lot of fireworks in another world before, and the fireworks there are more beautiful than here, but it's boring to watch without someone to accompany you."

"Now that you have me and the children, life will not be boring." When Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying immersed in the nightmare of the past again, he immediately interrupted Xia Yingying's thoughts.

"Ah."

Lu Ziren thought of the world that Xia Yingying had lived in. The fireworks here would definitely not satisfy Xia Yingying, as she had seen better ones.

"Yingying, I don't have the ability to give you a good life." When saying this, Lu Ziren felt a little inferior.

Xia Yingying's heart skipped a beat. Why did Lu Ziren suddenly say such a thing? He had tried his best to give her the best, so why was it still not good enough? Why was he still not capable? Xia Yingying didn't quite understand. She frowned and looked at Lu Ziren in confusion.

"It doesn't really matter whether we watch the fireworks or not, I'm just happy to be with you and the kids.

What you showed me now is my favorite. The others are nothing. Besides, didn’t you say this is the tallest attic in Beijing? We can see the fireworks in the palace even if we want to, right?" Thinking of going to the palace to watch the fireworks, Xia Yingying immediately comforted Lu Ziren.

"You get the atmosphere when you see it up close in the palace. You like that."

"But I like to watch from a distance. I don't like places like palaces."

As soon as Xia Yingying finished speaking, Lu Ziren fell silent.

When Xia Yingying came out, she stood outside with the heater in her arms for a while, and the temperature gradually cooled down. Lu Ziren knew that Xia Yingying was afraid of the cold, so he immediately opened his cloak, and Xia Yingying's small body was covered under the cloak. "Please vote"
