Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

A lovesickness, two sorrows

Wish: Father is in good health.

Wish: Big Sister gave birth to Liner safely.

Wish: The second sister's brows will be raised as soon as possible, and the days to come will be comfortable and happy.

Nangong Jingnv quickly finished writing the three sides of the Kongming Lantern, and turned to the fourth side. She couldn't help but glanced at Qi Yan, bit her lips and wrote: May Qi Yan live a long life.

The tip of the pen paused, and a line of small characters was added at the back: I wish to visit a famous doctor and heal his eyes...

Although she was a little shy when she wrote it, and put down the last stroke, Nangong Jingnv gave the pen to Qi Yan generously, without hiding it.

Qi Yan glanced at the blush on the other party's face, and couldn't help but sigh: Nangong Jingnv hardly has the pretentious thoughts of a little daughter, she treats everything so directly and frankly.No matter whether you are disgusted or happy, you will never hide it.

Qi Yan took the brush and wrote without hesitation: Your Highness's wish is the minister's wish.

Nangong Jingnv's heart surged with an uncontrollable touch and joy, and then her eyes dimmed, and she murmured: "You are really a shepherd layman..."

Qi Yan's wrist flicked: "Dian... third brother?"

Nangong Jingnv took a deep breath, said with a smile: "It's nothing, Kongming Lantern has four sides, why don't you promise one for yourself?"

Qi Yan replied softly: "This is my wish."

Nangong Jingnv fell silent, took the tinder and lit their Kongming lanterns.

After a while, two Kongming lanterns rose slowly.

The two raised their heads and watched quietly as the Kongming lantern rose into the air.

Nangong Jingnv asked, "Where will the Kongming Lantern go?"

"Heaven."

"Will our wish come true?"

"Sincerity is spirit."

Nangong Jingnv looked away and took Qi Yan's hand: "Let's go, let's set off the lanterns."

"it is good."

The two walked along the river for a long time before they found a lantern stall that had not been confiscated. It was almost midnight at this time, and there were not many people on both sides of the river, and not a single river lantern was seen on the dark river.

Nangong Jingnv took the purse and bought all the river lanterns owned by the hawker.The other party handed the Huozhangzi to Qi Yan and left with gratitude.

"On such a wide river, it looks lonely with only two lanterns. I will also be a good person and let the boss go home early."

Qi Yan smiled lightly, Nangong Jingnv stood by the bridge and took a look, she said to Qi Yan: "You wait here first, there are few lights and the roads are dark here, I will pick a place and pick you up later."

"it is good."

Nangong Jingnv got off the bridge and found a flat open space by the river. There were two big rocks on the bank for people to sit on. It was an excellent place to put lights.

She put the river lantern in her arms aside, turned back to the bridge and took Qi Yan's hand: "There are twelve steps down the bridge, you count them."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Come closer, there is a rock in front of you."

"Ah."

Coming to the open space, Nangong Jingnv first took the straw pillar from Qi Yan's hand and inserted it into the snowdrift, and supported her hand: "Sit down slowly, there is a rock next to you, sit on it."

After Qi Yan sat down, Nangong Jingnu also sat beside her, broke open the torch and blew, and lit more than a dozen lanterns one by one.

She picked up a river lantern and handed it to Qi Yan, after thinking for a while, she withdrew her hand: "I will let it go for you."

"it is good."

Nangong Jingnv squatted by the river and put all the lanterns into the river. This section of the river bank is located in the lower reaches, the water flow is gentle, and the lanterns drift slowly, which is suitable for admiring.

Nangong Jingnv sat back beside Qi Yan, hugged her knees and watched the lanterns gathering in twos and threes and slowly drifting away.

"Qi Yan."

"Ok?"

"I want to ask a question, don't get angry and don't think too much."

"Your Highness, just ask."

"Hmm... I wonder, what do you see at night?"

Qi Yan thought for a while and replied: "The glowing things can still be seen clearly, but the other ones seem to be covered with a black cloth, and they are vague and difficult to distinguish."

"So it's like this..." Nangong Jingnv pointed to the lanterns, "Can you see them clearly?"

"This distance is naturally possible."

Nangong Jingnu pointed to the sky again: "Where are the stars in the sky?"

Qi Yan shook her head: "I can't."

She looked up at the sky full of stars, and white smoke came out of her mouth: "It's a pity."

Seeing that the people around her didn't speak, Nangong Jingnv withdrew her gaze and turned her head, but saw Qi Yan was looking at her tenderly: "The stars are so close, why is it a pity?"

Nangong Jingnv's heart shuddered, she stared blankly at Qi Yan's eyes, she always felt that these amber eyes were beautiful, but it was a pity that they were always covered with a layer of mist that could not be dispelled, dim and lost Shen Yun.

At this moment, Nangong Jingnv discovered in surprise: that layer of mist has disappeared!

It turns out that these eyes can also be radiant, so bright.

But when she thought that Qi Yan was a Shepherd, Nangong Jingnu's chest felt a little tight, she sniffed: "It's getting late, let's go back home."

"it is good."

The two walked hand in hand on the way back home, Nangong Jingnv said nothing, and Qi Yan followed suit.

Chuntao stood at the back door of the Princess Mansion, praying to the sky with her palms folded, she was muttering something.

"Chun Tao!"

Chuntao looked over suddenly, and said: "The Bodhisattva has appeared." She trotted all the way to the front of the two: "Your Highness is back! You scared the slaves to death!"

"The son-in-law brought candied haws for you and Qiu Ju, you take it. He has carried it all the way."

Only then did Chuntao look at Qi Yan, and slapped Wanfu: "Thank you son-in-law, please hand it over to your servant."

"Sister Lao Chuntao."

Nangong Jingnv's chest was congested, and if she had had such a chance of Qi Yan's identity before, she would never have it after seeing his handwritten words.

Thinking that the second sister regards this man's fan as a treasure, and I gave the second sister an authentic painting of a shepherd layman, I feel even more uncomfortable.

The bad thing is that he didn't speak on the way back to the mansion, and this man didn't even ask a question!

After finally walking to the sleeping hall, and seeing the big red lantern hanging at the entrance of the hall, Nangong Jingnv felt as if she had lifted a stone and hit herself.

I hung up the lamp by myself, but the servants in the palace will not see the son-in-law in the bedroom tomorrow morning. If word spreads, I might become a princess bullying the son-in-law and kicking him out in the middle of the night...

The two went to take a bath to get rid of the cold, and it was already past the fourth watch when they came back.

Nangong Jingnv's sleepy eyelids were clenched and she didn't have the mind to think too much, so she fell asleep on the Babu bed.

Seeing that there was still no brocade quilt on the couch, Qi Yan took out a medicine to suppress nightmares, blew on the lamp, and groped back to the bed.

A night without dreams, the first ray of sunlight in the morning flooded the earth, dispelled the darkness, and passed through the window of the bedroom of Princess Zhenzhen's mansion.

Qi Yan slowly opened her eyes, felt her shoulders sinking and her body tensed subconsciously, and relaxed after smelling a familiar breath.

She turned her head and glanced, she was still sleeping in the same position as last night.It's just that Nangong Jingnv, who was sleeping inside, rolled to the outside at some point and was pillowing on her shoulder.

If she hadn't blocked the outside, I don't know if she would have fallen to the ground.

Nangong Jingnv's sleeping face is very peaceful and beautiful, she is naturally fair, and her facial features are also extremely delicate.

However, when she was awake, those dark eyes were so sharp that it took away her beauty, coupled with her cheerful words and deeds, people "ignored" her appearance.

At this moment, she fell asleep peacefully, her "repressed" beauty was completely highlighted, even Qi Yan couldn't bear to destroy this peaceful and picturesque beauty.

Qi Yan withdrew his gaze, and let out a barely audible sigh.

Perhaps it was a good night's sleep that temporarily washed away her complicated thoughts, and she felt a pang of regret.

Your Highness, if you were not born in Nangong's family, how great would it be?Then maybe we could really be friends.

It's a pity that you changed your surname to Nangong...

Then, before I kill you with my own hands... I will try my best to fulfill all your wishes.In order to make up for your sincere love for me.

It was already bright outside the window.Half of Qi Yan's body was numb, but she still maintained a motionless posture, letting the other party sleep on her pillow.

It was three poles high in the sun, and Nangong Jingnv woke up leisurely.

It was probably because Chun Tao and Qiu Ju knew that Nangong Jingnv slept late, so they did not come to invite her for the first time.

Nangong Jingnu let out a soft snort, and slowly opened her eyes.Before that, Qi Yan had already closed her eyes.

Nangong Jingnv stared at Qi Yan's side face with misty eyes and blinked, realizing that she was resting on Qi Yan's shoulder, blushing; but she didn't leave.

This is the second time they woke up hugging each other, the last time they were too drunk to take a closer look.

Nangong Jingnv noticed that Qi Yan's profile was very three-dimensional, with raised browbones and slightly sunken eye sockets, no wonder he felt that his eyes were always covered with a layer of mist.

Underneath the straight nose: there is a pair of slightly sensual lips. I don’t remember which miscellaneous book I read such a sentence: People with thick lips are usually clumsy and tongue-tied. Not quite right.

Although he doesn't talk much, he is definitely not a clumsy person.

In the past, she always felt that this person was a bit feminine, but through this observation, Nangong Jingnv discovered the toughness hidden in his profile that did not belong to a woman.

His temperament is very much like him, gentle and courteous but firm in heart.

Nangong Jingnv sighed lightly, lifted her body and left Qi Yan's embrace.

"It would be great if you weren't a shepherd layman..."

Nangong Jingnv had been holding this sentence in her heart all night, she couldn't spit it out fast.Taking advantage of Qi Yan's "deep sleep", she finally had the opportunity to speak out to this person, otherwise she was really afraid that she would not be able to restrain herself from asking.

Qi Yan heard it clearly, and couldn't help wondering: Nangong Jingnv also said similar things when writing the Kongming Lantern last night.

Then the mood drops.

Is there any allusion hidden in his pseudonym?But the name "Shepherd Layman" has only been used a few times. Could it be that there is something wrong with the study?

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

Chun Tao and Qiu Ju knocked on the bedroom door with two groups of maids: "Your Highness, it's noon. It's time to get up and have dinner."

Qi Yan opened his eyes and saw Nangong Jingnv facing away from him, calling softly: "Your Highness, it's time to get up."

"...Well, I see."

"Sisters Chuntao and Qiuju are waiting outside the hall, pass it on?"

"pass."

Nangong Jingnv rubbed her eyes and sat up, but she didn't look at Qi Yan.
