fifteenth quarter moon

In the imperial study room, Emperor Chu looked angrily at Nalan Xianyue in front of him, he still had that lofty appearance, neither humble nor overbearing.

Emperor Chu: "Tell me! What exactly do you want? You want to return to Li Country, and I have already agreed. Now that this situation has come, should you tell me what you want to do!"

Nalan Xianyue said: "Xianyue is grateful for His Majesty's hospitality over the past 20 years,"

Emperor Chu: "Hmph! Don't talk about these polite things, just tell me your purpose! You, Nalan Xianyue, are the protons in our country of Chu, but actually went to Chen Cang secretly, founded Qianji Pavilion and became the owner of Qianji Pavilion, and won over almost the entire Chu Kingdom. The country's news flow, and ah, I am afraid that one-third of the credit for the lushness of our Great Chu treasury these years is due to you, Nalan Xianyue!"

Nalan Xianyue smiled slightly: "It seems that the Emperor Chu has inquired very clearly."

Chu Huang: "Didn't you, Nalan Xianyue, release these news yourself? Since you let me know, then tell me your purpose!"

Nalan Xianyue: "Since that's the case, then Xianyue won't play tricks with His Majesty. Your Majesty still remembers the battle of Fuxian 20 years ago. What Xianyue wants is to defeat Fuxian City, which was captured by His Majesty in that battle. "

Emperor Chu: "Hehe, Fuxian City, that is the hometown of your mother and concubine. How dare you bring it up!"

Nalan Xianyue: "That's my concubine's hometown, and it's also my concubine's last wish..."

Emperor Chu: "That's a city that I took a lot of effort to take down. Do you want to go back just like that?"

Nalan Xianyue: "Since you dare to negotiate with His Majesty, of course you have made full preparations. Let's see if His Majesty will let you go."

Emperor Chu: "What if I don't want to let go?"

Nalan Xianyue: "That depends on how important Chu State is to the Emperor Chu! Your Majesty must be aware of Xianyue's power in Chu State."

Emperor Chu: "Are you threatening me?"

Nalan Xianyue: "There is a sense of threat! But it is also a reminder to the Emperor Chu that the borders of Chu State have not been very stable in the past few years. The supply of food and grass is still sufficient at present, but I don't know if His Majesty's treasury can last. How long! Could it be that Your Majesty wants to exchange the stability of the entire Chu Kingdom for Fuxian City?"

Chu Huang: "Enough! What do you want to exchange for going back to Fuxian City?"

Nalan Xianyue: "It depends on what the Emperor of Chu wants, silver, weapons, food, horses, or shops, all of these can be exchanged with His Majesty."

Emperor Chu: "If I want Qianji Pavilion?"

Nalan Xianyue: "Qianji Pavilion, it's okay, but I really don't know how to allocate this string to Emperor Chu. Qianji Pavilion is a famous existence, but it doesn't really exist. Qianji Pavilion is based on information. For a living, even I, the pavilion owner, don’t know how many people there are in Qianji Pavilion, I only know that it spreads all over the country and even the entire Central Plains.”

Nalan Xianyue walked out of the palace gate, while Beichen and Beiling were waiting outside the palace.

"My lord, how are things going?"

Nalan Xianyue shook her head: "It didn't work..."

Bei Chen said: "Then what should we do now?"

Nalan Xianyue said, "Wait! Your Majesty Rong will consider it for some time."

Beiling said: "If they didn't have official documents in their hands, they would have taken back Fuxian City long ago."

Bei Chen said: "Nonsense, if you can do that, why should you wait until now, young master?"

Nalan Xianyue: "Okay! We'll just wait for His Majesty's reply on this matter. Let's see what he's making and making plans. The most important thing now is how are you doing tonight?"

Beiling said: "Young master, don't worry, everything is properly arranged!"

Nalan Xianyue: "That's good. How about fifteen?"

Beichen: "It's still in Tongji Hall!"

Nalan Xianyue: "What about them?"

Beiling: "I've already gone up the mountain first!"

Nalan Xianyue: "Alright, then let's go too!"

Bei Chen said: "Why don't I stay here! In case Doctor Lu can't figure it out, I can still resist for a while."

Nalan Xianyue: "Can you beat fifteen?"

Bei Chen: "Hehe, of course I can't beat Madam!"

Nalan Xianyue: "Let's go! Hurry up."

So the three of them walked directly outside the city.

Lu Xiao swears that he has been working very hard to keep Shiwu, and the two of them have chatted all over the world.In the end, they couldn't find a topic, and the two could only stare blankly there.

Fifteen stayed here all the time because Nalan Xianyue said he would come to pick him up, but it's been a day, and he doesn't know how he talked with Emperor Chu.

It was getting late, Fifteen finally couldn't sit still, he kept on worrying, decided to go back to Liyue Mansion to have a look, got up and walked out of Tongji Hall.

Lu Xiao didn't stop him either, after all, the time was almost up, and he also left the hospital after explaining the things he had done.

Fifteen Qinggong was very good, and soon returned to Liyue Mansion, but Liyue Mansion was surprisingly quiet, there were usually a few old women in the kitchen, but now there was no one.

Fifteen panicked in an instant, "Brother..." He quickly ran to Qingxuan Pavilion, pushed open the door and the furnishings were intact, except for the moonlight cast by the window, there was no figure of Nalan Xianyue, and the bathroom was still empty.

I looked around and there was no sign of anyone.

"elder brother...."

Standing alone in the yard, looking at Qingxuan Pavilion.

"Could it be that you're trapped in the palace?" Turning around and preparing to run towards the palace, a light suddenly appeared in the lotus pond, Fifteen stepped on the lotus leaves and a lotus lantern slowly rose in front of Fifteen, This lantern is different from the usual lanterns. Inside the cage is a blooming lotus, with no more petals and exactly fifteen petals.A candle is lit in the center of the lotus.There was a small piece of paper hanging on the top. Shiwu lightly held the rising lantern and took a closer look. A smile appeared on the tense face just now, as bright as a flower blooming.

The picture of two people looking at each other affectionately on that piece of paper is the miniature version of Nalan Xianyue's painting by the pond that day.The piece of paper was spinning, and he took a look at a line of small characters. The handwriting was beautiful and agile, and it was a woman's handwriting.

"The first wish, I hope that these two people will live together for the rest of their lives. Chu Ruixin"

Fifteen: "This silly sister!"

Let go of the lotus lantern in my hand and watch it slowly fly into the night sky, my heart is warm.

When I came back to my senses, I saw another light in front of me. Without saying a word, I ran forward. It was still the same lotus lantern. The people on the paper were still me and Nalan Xianyue. Nalan Xianyue was holding the piano The look of leaning against him.

"Second wish, I hope you will be united forever and grow old together. Nalan strings it together."

Let go of the second lotus lantern not far away, and it flew out of the lotus pond and landed on the ground. On the blueprint, there was actually a picture of Nalan Xianyue kissing the fifteenth day. with tears.

"The third wish is that there are thousands of floating worlds. The two of you will keep a piece of pure land together and stay together for the rest of your life. Nalan Haoyue"

Along the way, there will always be a lotus lantern at a fixed distance, and the pieces of paper in the lantern are pictures of two people cuddling each other.There are different words of blessing in each lamp.

Fifteen: "Brother, you're hiding it from me again..."

All the way out of Liyue Mansion, lotus lanterns lit up one after another on the street, following the direction of these lotus lanterns, they walked out of Xuanyang City and went to the suburbs.Looking back, those lotus wishing lanterns that I have seen have already flown into the night sky.

"Brother, I'm here..." Along with these lit lights, he ran all the way.Fifteen is very familiar with the direction pointed by the light, it is the direction where I met Nalan Xianchu.

Pick up a light at random and you can see the picture of yourself and Nalan Xianyue cuddling together, as well as some unknown blessings.

Going all the way, the night sky behind you is already covered with lotus lanterns.Going forward is the river where Shiwu caught fish for Nalan Xianyue.The fish in that river fed them for three days.

No lotus lamps come on again.

Shiwuxin said happily: "Brother, come out, I'm here..." There was no response.

"I like this lamp. I counted it. There are [-] lamps, no more, no less, fifteen. Hehe, how much you love me!" After a while, still no one appeared.

"If you don't show up again, I will be angry!"

"Nalan Crescent..."

Fifteen still didn't wait for the person I missed.It's just that a light suddenly appeared at the turning point of the river, and then a lotus lantern floated along the water, and then one after another.

Fifteen raised the corner of his mouth to pick up a drifting lotus lantern and looked at it calmly, both annoyed and funny.

"Brother...you really love me enough! The petals are painted with the daily life of you and me!"

Looking at the lotus lanterns floating one after another, he was overjoyed again. How many surprises did Nalan Xianyue prepare for him!

All the lotus lanterns are gathered in the middle of one place but encircle the city in a big circle, and then the lotus lanterns that are not lit in the middle are lit up one by one.Until the last circle was lit up, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him. Fifteen thought it was Nalan Xianyue and turned around quickly but he didn't see the person who had been missing for a day.

Nalan Haoyue, Nalan Xianzhi, Yan Shaoyi, Chu Linchuan, Chu Linye, Chu Ruixin, Lu Xiao, and Beiling Beichen.

Fifteen asked: "Where is Nalan Xianyue?"

Chu Ruixin said: "Don't be in a hurry, let's see what that one is in the water first! Brother Xianyue prepared it for you personally."

Fifteen turned around and flew to the center of the lotus lantern. The whole person stood there in a daze on the lotus lantern, where a fiery red robe was neatly placed with delicate patterns embroidered with golden silk thread.

Lu Xiao said: "What are you doing there stupidly! Quickly pick it up and put it on, aren't you looking for Nalan Xianyue!"

Chu Ruixin said: "Looking at his stupid appearance, he must be very happy. Let's go help him, but elder brother Xianyue is coming soon."

Afterwards Shiwu was dragged back by several people, and in a daze, he was stripped of his previous clothes and put on the wedding clothes specially prepared for him.

After everything was dressed, even though it was night, one could still see the blush on Shiwu's face.

Bei Chen still didn't forget to hand the Yueshuang sword into Shiwu's hand and said, "You and your son's Yueshuang sword must not be separated from you."

Fifteen smiled slightly and held it tightly.

Chu Rui said happily: "Here we come, we come, put on the red hijab quickly."

Many lotus lanterns floated over the river, and a piece of red silk blocked Fifteen's sight. The red silk was very thin, but he could still vaguely see the light coming from ahead. There was a figure standing in the middle of the light. Fifteen was sure it was himself. The person I want to see the most.

Nalan Xianyue is also wearing a red robe, her long hair naturally falls behind her back, and the golden lotus embroidered with golden silk thread on the red robe is lifelike.Fifteen walked slowly towards the river, and when he reached Fifteen, he slowly pulled down his hijab. Fifteen raised his eyes and finally saw the person who had missed him for a day. It was like three autumns since he hadn’t seen each other for eight years. How did he get over it? of.

Nalan Xianyue said softly: "Fifteen, brother is here to marry you!"

"Brother..." The tears in his eyes suddenly burst into tears, Fifteen excitedly threw himself into Nalan Xianyue's arms and hugged him tightly around his neck.Nalan Xianyue hugged Shiwu's waist tightly.

There are a few pairs of envious eyes beside me, besides envy, it is more of a deep blessing.

Nalan Haoyue couldn't help grabbing Chu Linchuan's hand tightly, and Chu Linchuan didn't intend to dodge, but just looked at each other and smiled.

Regardless of the crowd watching, Nalan Xianyue supported Shiwu's head and kissed his lips.

Nalan Xianyue touched Shiwu's forehead and said, "Do you like it?"

Fifteen stared at him and said, "What Fifteen always wanted was my brother. A complete person."

Nalan Xianyue: "I know, whatever Fifteen wants, brother will give you, and I want to give Fifteen the same thing."

Fifteen: "So are you making up the wedding dress now?"

Nalan Xianyue: "Yeah!"

Lu Xiao on the side said: "It's not just about clothes, look at these lights, they are all carefully prepared for you."

Fifteen: "I like it!"

Nalan Xianyue: "As long as you like it, let's go. What's more, I'll take you to see something better."

Fifteen was surprised and said, "There are more?"

Nalan Xianyue: "Of course!"

Pull fifteen to the woods.

"Where to go?"

"Have you forgotten? This is the way up the mountain!"

"That cave! We..."

First encounter

As soon as I walked in, lotus lanterns suddenly lit up on the trees on both sides of a trail, and then slowly rose all the way to illuminate the path up the mountain.
