Her Royal Highness The Princess From A Thousand Years Ago

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Yanbing had just woken up, and before she could wash up, she heard Li Mingyue in front of the sofa saying: "Good morning."

— This is a bit unusual.

Shen Yanbing raised her eyebrows, before she could ask, Li Mingyue said again: "Today is Qixi Festival."

It's the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet again.

Shen Yanbing didn't feel anything. Valentine's Day, 520, Qixi Festival, there are too many festivals related to love every year. If it weren't for the overwhelming publicity, she wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

But Li Mingyue seemed a little excited, "Jing Chao also has a Qiqiao Festival."

——This is the first festival in modern times since the month of dawn.

Shen Yanbing was a little surprised, and asked, "What customs do you have?"

"Xiangqiao meeting, praying for marriage, worshiping gods and stargazing..." Li Mingyue carefully recalled, "Outside the palace, these things are very popular."

The customs of the two worlds are similar, Shen Yanbing nodded and asked, "Are you still learning?"

"..." Li Mingyue glanced at her resentfully, and sat down at the desk anyway.

Shen Yanbing washed up as usual, made a simple breakfast, even made soy milk, and lay leisurely in the corner of the sofa to read a novel.

Li Mingyue glanced at her from time to time, and finally asked, "Aren't you celebrating the holidays?"

Shen Yanbing laughed: "Do you want to introduce someone to me?"

"Why?" Li Mingyue was puzzled, "I saw online news that everyone is celebrating the festival."

"It's just marketing." Shen Yanbing picked up a piece of fish fillet, and said bluntly, "There are so many couples."

Li Mingyue disagreed: "But the Qiqiao Festival is for my daughter's family. In Jing Dynasty, many of them went out alone to celebrate the festival."

Speaking of this, Shen Yanbing also reacted - more seriously, the Qixi Festival is actually more like a modern Women's Day, not a festival specially designed for couples.

It just slowly evolved into a domestic Valentine's Day, and finally slowly moved closer to a consumer festival.

"Okay." Shen Yanbing put down his chopsticks, "Do you want to go out to play?"

In fact, Li Mingyue hasn't been to many places, and it's not bad to take her out for a walk at night to meet people.

Her Royal Highness became awkward again at this moment, "I don't want to go that much either."

"I still have a lot of learning tasks." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Yanbing with a sigh.

"...then don't go."

Shen Yanbing was expressionless, determined to cure the other party's problem of not speaking well.

Li Mingyue stared at her eagerly, "I know you don't want to go."

Shen Yanbing was about to laugh angrily—it's still the princess palace's best friend, so I don't want to embarrass her on purpose.

Li Mingyue opened her almond eyes slightly, with sincere understanding in them.

Shen Yanbing: "...All right, go out at night."

Her Royal Highness, who got the approval to go out, did not get carried away. After the lunch break, she went to the studio to practice as usual. When she came back, she was hiding something behind her hand.

Shen Yanbing just wanted her to get in the car quickly: "Calligraphy and painting?"

Li Mingyue fastened the seat belt skillfully, nodded, but refused to unfold it here for her to see.

Shen Yanbing chuckled silently, "Give it to me?"

It's not that she is narcissistic, it's just that she really can't think of anyone else that Li Mingyue will know.

Li Mingyue shook her head, "It's at home."

Shen Yanbing smiled and didn't speak any more.

"Many girls in the studio have boyfriends." Li Mingyue only found out today.

Shen Yanbing looked at the road conditions: "Is it strange?"

Li Mingyue shook her head: "No."

Women in ancient times generally matured early, married early and became pregnant. She was surprised that the little girls here generally talked to more than one partner.

She thought of Shen Yanbing again - Shen Yanbing also broke up.

"Why is falling in love different from getting married?"

Li Mingyue had never heard of free love in Jingchao, and she was a bit estranged from this kind of practice of being together when she wanted to be together, and splitting up when she wanted to—in her opinion, she should follow whoever she decides, instead of being half-hearted ,swing left and right.

"Marriage means responsibility." Shen Yanbing waited for the red light, then turned to look at her, "As for love... it's just a novelty."

Li Mingyue looked at her unexpectedly, her heart skipped a beat, "...um."

I don't know whether I really understand it or pretend to understand it, Shen Yanbing smiled so much that his eyes couldn't get enough, and he looked forward again.

After arriving home, Li Mingyue finally unfolded the scroll:

[Begging for skillful hands, begging for skillful looks; begging for understanding, begging for beauty; begging for my parents to be thousands of years old; begging for my sisters to be thousands of years old. *】

"This is?"

"It's a very popular ballad in Jing Dynasty."

Li Mingyue pronounced it with a distinct accent, rhyming and easy to understand.

——This is what she learned at the Lantern Festival when she was not in the palace. Although the scholar-bureaucrats and princes and nobles dismissed it, it was widely spread among the common people.

Shen Yanbing hadn't heard of it before, and smiled: "Very good."

Needless to say, Li Mingyue's handwriting on the rice paper is smart but not frivolous, full of charm, neat but not rigid.

Shen Yanbing had noticed that the other party still did not have a seal, and began to think about giving her a piece of jade when he had time.

"Can you compose and engrave?" Seal engraving is also an extremely important part of calligraphy, but she is not sure whether there is such a seal culture in Jing Dynasty.

Li Mingyue gave an affirmative answer, not sure if it was true humility or the truth: "I'm not very good at it."

"It won't be so bad." Shen Yanbing comforted him without distracting himself, "It's still very important to engrave a piece early."

As she said that, she helped Li Mingyue paste the unframed words behind the bookshelf of the desk, which looked very rough.

And the style is not high.

It's a thousand miles away from what Her Royal Highness the Princess thought.

Li Mingyue looked left and right, trying to find a suitable place to put it, and finally rolled it up again with a sigh.

"Like this one very much?" Shen Yanbing leaned halfway on the desk, and spread it out again, she finally noticed that this picture was different from Li Mingyue's previous writing.

——The charm of the brushwork reveals a unique feminine atmosphere.

When looking closely again, Shen Yanbing unexpectedly felt a faint sense of nostalgia.

Li Mingyue didn't answer, Shen Yanbing asked again: "Homesick?"

"...No." Her Highness the Princess sat on the stool, put her hands on the desk, folded it up, and put it in the desk drawer.

Shen Yanbing didn't stop her from pressing the words out of the creases, nor did she ask any more questions, but said, "We're going out now."

Li Mingyue said: "Okay."

Since Shen Yanbing decided to go out, he will definitely make a travel strategy.

On the memorandum, the precautions are neatly listed, and it is only a matter of adding an alternative plan.

In the first part, go to a restaurant near the community for dinner.

"It's simple to pad your stomach." Shen Yanbing and Her Royal Highness explained, "The light show we went to at night has a snack street, and we can have some supper then."

Li Mingyue hadn't seen the snack street and the light show yet, so she nodded her head when she heard the words, and the two quickly ate a soup dumpling and left.

The second part is to take an online car-hailing service to Central Park.

Li Mingyue also brought her mobile phone, Shen Yanbing looked at the crowds outside, connected her to data traffic, and taught her to use the video call function and send location once again.

"If you get lost, try these two functions, and then stand there and wait for me."

"I won't get lost."

"I say in case."

"If you hold me, nothing will happen."

Shen Yanbing supported her forehead, feeling that Li Mingyue was getting more and more difficult, she pointed to the sidewalk outside the car window: "Did you see, there are so many people, it only takes a second to disperse."

Li Mingyue was silent, and after a while said: "I remember."

The moment she got out of the car, Li Mingyue was instantly overwhelmed by the heat wave and noise coming from the pavement, and within two steps, she was almost staggered by the person who pushed her.

——Shen Yanbing supported her.

The trees beside the road are decorated with countless small lanterns, adding some warmth to the night and illuminating the entire pedestrian street.

Also illuminates those under the tree.

Shen Yanbing let go of her hand, "Be careful around."

After finishing speaking, she bypassed the crowd and walked straight to the lake, and Li Mingyue subconsciously followed quickly.

It is said that it is a lake, but it is actually a small bay with wooden floors on the shore, which brings coolness when the wind and waves rise.

The high-rise buildings on all sides are full of brilliance, and the LED lights on the outer building are constantly changing colors, flowing down like flowing water. The colors are constantly fluctuating and reciprocating, and the modern feeling is dazzling.

Even though it was night, there was no place without light.

It's not that I haven't come out in the dawn and moonlit night, but it's the first time I really feel the shock of being here.

In comparison, Jingchao's Nightless City is too childish.

"There will be a light show later." This is also the part Shen Yanbing is most looking forward to, "a show of thousands of drones."

The surrounding voices were very noisy, and Li Mingyue couldn't hear clearly, "Drones?"

Furthermore, even if Her Royal Highness heard it clearly, she would not understand what it meant.

"It's a small unmanned aircraft." Shen Yanbing smiled, "Go back and show you the pictures."

Speaking of which, Shen Yuan's family had a dust-eating drone, which was almost broken by Shen Yueran as a model toy.

Li Mingyue feels that the current lighting is already surprising enough, but she doesn't know how the "light show" works.

It was still early before the start time, Shen Yanbing led her on the wooden floor and walked towards the street on the other side.

This was probably the most crowded time for Shen Yanbing to come to Central Park, and the already overcrowded Play Street was even more crowded tonight.

She had to take Li Mingyue to walk around the small shops on the edge.

The trees decorated with colorful lights on both sides are brightly lit, occasionally there are a few big bear dolls stuck in the middle of the branches, the pink arches are lined up, and there are small shiny lanterns strung here and there.

Under the arches with hanging lanterns, the small shops lined up are exquisitely decorated, simple and elegant or sweet and childlike, attracting many little girls in ancient costumes or Lolita dresses.

Liming didn't show it on the moon, but he was staring at all this dreamlike thing in his heart.

"God lost?"

The familiar voice brought her back to her senses, Shen Yanbing was looking at her with her arms around a big wooden horse not far away.

Li Mingyue walked up to her immediately, thinking of her self-confidence before getting out of the car, she felt a little embarrassed.

However, Shen Yanbing didn't care about her embarrassment, and instead asked, "Is there anything you like?"

There were people everywhere in front of the mobile shops around, and Li Mingyue couldn't get a glimpse of the inside scene at all, so she won't be able to answer this question for a while.

Shen Yanbing obviously just asked casually, and walked around like taking her for a walk.

Perhaps it was too close to the bay, and the coolness of the summer night suddenly arose, Li Mingyue suddenly sneezed and touched her nose unnaturally.

Shen Yanbing handed her a tissue from her bag, "Go to the mall."

She didn't hear the answer, turned around and saw Li Mingyue stopped in front of a deserted shop.

Li Mingyue raised her head and looked at Shen Yanbing who was not far away, her eyes were a little excited.

Shen Yanbing had no choice but to turn back and stand in front of the shop.

——This is a jewelry store with no special features.

Shen Yanbing looked left and right, but didn't notice anything that attracted her.

She had no choice but to ask directly: "Which one do you like?"

Li Mingyue looked at her seriously: "Today is Qixi Festival."

"...So?" Shen Yanbing didn't think about it.

Li Mingyue was a little discouraged, and took a long red rope from the hanging wall, "This is the red-headed rope for Qixi Festival."

The store owner's smile was all over his face, "Yes, the beauty knows a lot."

Shen Yanbing glanced at the boss, the other party laughed and shut up guiltily.

She cooperatively took the flat red string from Li Mingyue, "Is there any special meaning?"

"It can bring good luck to people." Li Mingyue explained, adding, "Especially good luck in marriage."

"Yes!" The store owner nodded straightly, "Now Qixi Festival, 19 yuan a piece!"

Li Mingyue already had a concept of modern money, and frowned upon hearing the price, "Boss, you are too unkind."

"This is a red-headed rope with a profound meaning!" The store owner looked at the girl with a student-like face, and felt no guilt at all. "It is specially made for Qixi Festival. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year."

Li Mingyue stared at the other party, pursed her lips and nodded, as if she was thinking seriously.

The store owner's smile grew wider and wider.

"Oh, forget it then." Li Mingyue turned and left without mercy.

The store owner's smile immediately collapsed, and he stretched out his hand and shouted, "Wait, 15 yuan!"

Li Mingyue ignored it.

"Nine dollars!"

Li Mingyue's pace slowed down, but still did not stop.

Finally, the shop owner gave up the unnecessary struggle.

Shen Yanbing looked at Her Royal Highness, who was full of life, with an obvious smile on her lips.

She didn't go far, took the rough flat red rope from this shop, and glanced at the frustrated boss, "How much?"

This store is located in a remote place, coupled with its poor reputation and impressive performance, it has become a rare exception in this street, and it is quite difficult.

The shop owner sighed in his heart, and carefully quoted a price under the look of the other party.

Shen Yanbing nodded indifferently, bought it at an obviously inflated price without bargaining.

Limingyue stood under the lamp of a tree not far away.

Fragmented warm yellow light fell on her body, the corners of the knee-length dress swayed slightly, her long hair was tied low, and the broken hair on both sides was brushed behind her ears, the light in her eyes was refracted, shining brightly.

Shen Yanbing raised his hand and showed the red-headed rope.

"How did you buy it?"

"Don't you want it?"

Li Mingyue was a little nervous, and silently remembered the account, "How much?"

Shen Yanbing didn't say anything, and handed it to her palm.

Li Mingyue wrapped the red-headed rope loosely around her wrist, recalling: "I also received such a red-headed rope on the previous Qixi Festival."

"Very suitable for you." Shen Yanbing answered, looking at the long red rope hanging from the girl's wrist, picked it up, and untied it gently.

Li Mingyue stared at her blankly.

Shen Yanbing stroked a few strands of long hair around her ears, tied up the red headband simply, and tied a bow of thin thread hanging down with her hands.

"Okay." Shen Yanbing nodded seriously, "It's really suitable."

Li Mingyue came to her senses and showed a dimpled smile.

The end of the street is connected to the park bay again, and there is an ornamental arch bridge not far away. Young people in all kinds of clothes come and go, and from time to time, you can meet professional photography teams and live broadcast Internet celebrities.

Walking along the road along the lake, Li Mingyue has met many people who wear chest-length skirts, large-sleeved shirts, round-neck gowns, and even carry lanterns. If it weren't for the neon lights and mobile devices that can be seen everywhere, she would have a sense of humor during the trip. The illusion of returning to the big scene.

"Why do so many people wear ancient clothes?"

"I like it, especially for traditional festivals."

Shen Yanbing glanced at the time, "Go and see that bridge, and then it's time to go to the other side to watch the light show."

Li Mingyue nodded, carefully paying attention to the people around her, and walked towards the bridge with her.

There are many people on the bridge at the moment.

Li Mingyue raised her head, and suddenly, a familiar face came into view - her pupils shrank slightly, and she stopped in her tracks.

The person behind accidentally knocked her down, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry."

Li Mingyue didn't speak, and looked at the man intently—a green shirt with a round neck, hair tied up to a crown, with good features, a handsome gentleman.

The next moment, she felt the other person's gaze also cast their eyes, and their eyes suddenly met. She turned her head suddenly, and her wrist was suddenly pinched by another person, who dragged her forward mercilessly.

"Are you afraid that you won't get lost?"

Hearing Shen Yanbing's cold voice, Li Mingyue realized that if Shen Yanbing hadn't found out earlier, she would have been lost in the crowd just now.

There was a thin layer of sweat on her back.

Shen Yanbing let go of her hand, feeling displeased with Li Mingyue's frequent distractions that night.

She stood on the shore where there were few people, saw Li Mingyue's obviously uncomfortable face, and frowned: "What's going on?"

Li Mingyue is not such a person who can't listen to criticism - she is completely different from the state of Xiancai bargaining now.

"I saw...someone I know." Li Mingyue frowned, the scene just now had too much impact on her, she pressed the center of her brows, and took a deep breath, "I'm not sure."

The distance is so far, the crowd is crowded, and the light is blurred, maybe she saw it wrong.

Shen Yanbing was a little surprised, "People you know, what do you mean?"

The expression of Her Royal Highness is obviously not a friend in the studio.

"Jing Chao." Li Mingyue's voice was low, and she suddenly pulled Shen Yanbing and walked quickly to the bridge.

She wants to catch up with that person, and she asks for a certificate.

It was the first time Shen Yanbing was led by her to trot through the crowd, "Sorry, I'm sorry" words didn't stop on her lips, when she stopped she breathed calmly, "What did you see?"

Li Mingyue was a little frustrated: "It's gone."

Shen Yanbing was tired and leaned against the guardrail, "Maybe it's just your hallucination."

"Maybe." Li Mingyue scanned the crowd persistently, bowing her head in disappointment or joy.

——she couldn't imagine seeing the same kind here.

The two quieted down, and the noise around them suddenly dropped a lot.

On the lake, countless drones are already in place.

"The light show is about to begin."

Shen Yanbing leaned on the guardrail and luckily stood at an excellent viewing position.

Numerous mobile phone cameras around have been turned on, holding them high to record all this, Li Mingyue let go of distracting thoughts and concentrated on looking at the sky above the lake.

The small drones lined up in a square row turned on their lights and slowly flew into the air. The combination changed into the shape of a magpie, flying and gathering together, and gradually took on the appearance of a bridge of magpies.

There were bursts of cheers from below, and Li Mingyue was also dumbfounded.

Soon another batch of drones entered the arena, with colorful lights on, smoothly drawing the outline of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, separating the two ends of the magpie bridge, and approaching a little bit amidst the exclamation of the crowd.

The colors of the surrounding lights are constantly changing, and the stars are connected together, like a magnificent and bright galaxy.

Limingyue raised her head, without blinking her eyes, and Cowherd and Weaver Girl finally hugged each other.

Her lips moved, and she turned to look at Shen Yanbing - Shen Yanbing happened to be looking at her too.

Li Mingyue looked into the opponent's eyes and said, "It's a miracle."

"It's not a miracle." Shen Yanbing smiled, "It's technology."

The picture of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting in the sky gradually became fuller, the colors of the lights of the drone flowed, and the scattered stars gathered together to form an ancient poem:

[When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world. 】

Li Mingyue silently recited this strange verse, and the noise around her was far away, leaving only the breeze and bright moon, bright lights and Shen Yanbing beside her.

The light show is still going on, and there are more and more people in the central park. Shen Yanbing's original treasure land is constantly being invaded. She smiled and sighed, "Let's go for a walk."

Li Mingyue didn't object, and the two of them strolled by the lake, against the flow of people, talking a few words from time to time.

"The Cowherd and Weaver Girl can only see each other once a year." Her Royal Highness looked at the colorful magpie bridge, "Why can I only see you once?"

Shen Yanbing didn't have much feeling for this mythical story since he was a child, and responded: "Vega and Altair are at the two ends of the Milky Way, so there shouldn't be any intersection."

Li Mingyue glanced at her, and suddenly said: "We shouldn't have crossed paths."

Shen Yanbing was a little surprised by the jump in the other party's thinking, and had nowhere to refute while being funny.

Cowherd and Weaver Girl are separated by the Milky Way, and she and Limingyue are not from the same time and space.

Their meeting was a rare accident comparable to a magpie building a bridge.

Li Mingyue was silent, Shen Yanbing didn't want to care about it, but a lot of relevant information popped up in his mind inexplicably.

"One day in the sky, one year on the ground." Shen Yanbing suddenly mentioned this common saying, "Have you heard of it?"

Limingyue shook her head slowly.

"One year in our world, the passage of time is just a day in the sky. It seems to us that the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet once a year, but in the sky, they actually meet every day."

Shen Yanbing spoke nonsense, Li Mingyue laughed, "Okay."

She and Shen Yanbing also meet every day, Li Mingyue thought to herself, but didn't say it out loud.

Shen Yanbing didn't bother with this topic anymore, and led people to the direction of the snack street.

Li Mingyue didn't have the habit of eating late at night, but she still succumbed to the aroma of grilled skewers Malatang.

Shen Yanbing likes to eat cold things, but Li Mingyue is not allowed to eat more. He asked for an extra spoon for the ice cream he bought, and only asked Her Royal Highness to taste it before taking it away.

"Why can't I eat?" Li Mingyue felt that her body was no different from modern people.

Shen Yanbing glanced at her, "Have you forgotten the feeling of dysmenorrhea last time?"

Li Mingyue lowered her voice: "Now there is no..."

"Just pay more attention to it." Shen Yanbing even felt uneasy every time he bought her a cold drink, for fear that the other party would not be able to adapt.

Li Mingyue pursed her lips and lightly licked the Magpie Bridge candy figurine she had just bought. When people came and went, she suddenly saw that familiar figure again.

The sweet and greasy on the tip of the tongue lost its taste for a short time, and suddenly, the man was getting closer - this time he didn't notice her.

The thin candy figure was bitten off with a "bang" by the jaws, and the part in the mouth was slowly chewed to pieces.

She stared at the man closely, and finally, her eyes met again, and she saw the man's face clearly.

——Almost exactly the same face as her Jing Chao's groom.
