so long

During the imperial examination, Prince Ning did not see Bai Yao.During the martial arts competition, the man did not see Yin Qiu either.

After returning from Beitong a few months ago, Prince Ning's life lacked some things, but also gained something, he couldn't find it, and he didn't feel uncomfortable, so he let nature take its course.

During the Wu Zhuang Scholar Examination, Yin Qiu had a letter. The handwriting on the letter was extremely heroic. He wrote more than a dozen pages, saying that he is no longer in Qianlong County, but went to another place to suppress the Huns, so that men should not worry about it. .Every word and every sentence did not mention anything that aroused daydreams or doubts, and there were no rebellious and extremely absurd words.

The man only saw that Yin Qiu recorded what he did every day in detail, and also revealed that the two small animals he rescued were released by him to the east.

He said how much taller he had probably grown, that he had learned the barbarian's musical instrument, and that he missed the appointment this time, and he was sorry.

There is no way to break the appointment. Prince Ning knows that Yin Qiu is at most a strong general in the army, but he doesn't have much power. Many things have to be accumulated slowly, like reputation and people's hearts.

He was not in a hurry at all, and even hoped that the young man would forget these things that day. The absurd agreement made at that time, but the young man remembered clearly and sincerely apologized. This is why Prince Ning can only comfort the other party, saying: "No It’s a matter of taking the exam after three years.”

The three-year imperial examination and the three-year military champion election are the biggest and most eye-catching events in the Yin Dynasty.

After the exam, the weather gradually turned cooler, and when the first snow fell in Dongming City, the Lantern Festival also arrived.

The palace must be very lively, but after Prince Ning went to eat the family banquet held by the emperor, he took the young prince back to the palace. On the way back to the mansion, he pointed out the outside for the young prince and received large and small lanterns to torture the young prince. Do you know what those are, while reading some poems that fit the occasion, the formal atmosphere of the closed palace is much better.

Ning Chongyun looked at Ning Jingyao almost intently, and always felt that those ordinary sentences, after being read by a man's lips, instantly became 'worth a hundred times', which made him unable to express his love.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Ning Chongyun complained that the flight path from shaking to the palace was too short, so he got out of the car slowly, hesitating to speak to the man who was about to enter the palace.

"Why?" Lord Ning is not as indifferent to Ning Chongyun as Xiao Shizi thought, but the man doesn't express much, thinking in his heart, doing more and talking less, and there are many guests in the mansion, so his thoughts are also very small. The more people dispersed, the false appearance would be created for Xiaoshizi. In fact, Prince Ning cared about his only child very much.

It's just that everyone's way of educating their children is different. Prince Ning gave the little prince no more, no less. He thought it was just right, but Ning Chongyun always felt that it was not enough. He didn't know where to start, and he always felt that it was not enough!Nothing is enough!

"I..." Xiao Shizi kept a straight face, his pair of upturned peach blossom eyes became more and more beautiful in the candlelight of Wanjia lights, he staggered and said, "Daddy, let's... then... again..."

"Want to watch the Lantern Festival again?" Ning Jingyao understood.

"...Mmm." Ning Chongyun seldom made any demands on men, and always followed behind him silently. This time, he finally had a request, and he looked so cute that he couldn't even articulate it.

Lord Ning looked at the bustling appearance in the palace, and the housekeeper would treat his guests well, so he thought it would be okay to go back later, so he asked the servants around him to go back first, and he took the little prince to casually walk on the street. have a look.

All the servants on the surface left, but there were no hidden guards.Prince Ning naturally couldn't shake those people away, but since he couldn't see them, he ignored them.

The street outside the Wangfu is always the busiest street. No matter how wide the road is, the crowds will make the road crowded early on. There are shouts, couples laughing, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies guessing lantern riddles, intertwined in a chaotic manner, and huge dragon lanterns are coiled around On the Xingyue Bridge, countless lanterns flowed along the water, and everyone had a smile on their faces under their colorful masks. Even the loneliest person would probably be infected by the atmosphere and smile.

Ning Chongyun was very free since he was a child. Whether it was playing with the children in the palace or being with the children in the market, Prince Ning never interfered.

So this Lantern Festival, Ning Chongyun has actually visited many times by himself. Although it is only once a year, it happens every year. It will never be novel again, but this time it is different.

For Xiao Shizi, this was the first time that a man brought him out alone.

There are no doormen, no nine ministers, and no other irrelevant people, just the two of them.This kind of knowledge made Xiao Shizi blush, trying to calm down, but his heart beat faster and faster, and finally he couldn't hear the voices of those people on the street, and just looked at his father quietly in a daze Holding my hand, it was like losing my soul.

"Yun'er, do you want to play with this?" Ning Jingyao saw that there were fewer people by the water, so he pointed to the lotus lantern on the nearby stall and said, "Yun'er?"

He yelled several times, but there was no reaction from Xiaoshizi, so the man bent down, tapped Xiaoshizi's forehead lightly, saw Ning Chongyun's whole body tremble, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? So engrossed?"

"No..." Xiao Shizi lowered his head, inexplicably not daring to look at the man, "Yes, I'm so happy."

"Really, then do you want to play with this? Make a wish." Ning Jingyao suggested that there are many traditions of writing good wishes on the small lanterns and putting them in the water to let the wishes flow to the gods. years.

Xiao Shizi nodded quickly, if his father accompanied him to put up the lanterns, his wish would definitely come true!

Then, Lord Ning went to a nearby stall to buy two lanterns, and bought masks for himself and Xiao Shizi. After each wrote down their wishes, they put the lotus lantern into the water together and looked at the two lotus lanterns. Slowly go away with the waves.

Ning Chongyun, wearing a boy's mask, followed Ning Jingyao, who was wearing a black patterned mask, walking and stopping contentedly, and finally went to the marriage temple with the most people.

In the Marriage Temple, there is an old tree that is said to be over a hundred years old. It is evergreen in all seasons, with an overwhelming crown and thick branches. Every Lantern Festival, the tree is covered with small lanterns. Looking from a distance, it is splendid and magnificent. It's so beautiful.

As a result, when Ning Jingyao walked under the lantern tree, she found that she and Ning Chongyun had separated at some point.Immediately, he frowned slightly, and looked around, but couldn't find Ning Chongyun's figure, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

There are too many people here, Prince Ning just wanted to go to a place where there are few people, and called the hidden guards to find Xiao Shizi back, but just took a few steps, he was accidentally bumped into, and one accidentally fell backwards. After a few steps, I entered someone's arms...

"Are you okay?"

A voice came from behind him. Before Ning Jingyao came out of the man's arms, she turned her head to look up, and saw that the man just lowered his head. When his eyes met, the man felt that he had bumped into an invisible man. In the eyes of the bottom!

Both of them were in a daze for a moment, as if they could no longer see the people around them or hear the sounds around them, only the lanterns all over the world and the sudden light snow were left to pave the way for their encounter...
