The Northern Territory has been a mysterious place since ancient times. The lofty imperial capital that is unattainable to the people of all the vassal states did not expect that there would be such a festive festival like ordinary people.

Looking up, the four towers high into the sky are covered with colorful lights of different shapes, and the passers-by on the road are all brightly dressed and beaming. For the people of the Northern Territory, the Double Lantern Festival is the grandest festival of the year.

Two lanterns, two lanterns, Su Yun silently read the name of this peculiar festival, and couldn't help asking: "Apart from the sky lantern, what is the other lantern?"

"It's a river lantern." Yun Qing replied with a smile, her voice overflowing with infinite warmth, "After midnight, it will be the time when the jade dragon and snow in the northern region will melt. At that time, the ice and snow will melt, and the river will flow, passing through the Ziming River in the imperial capital. There will be tens of thousands of river lanterns floating. People say that as long as you write your wish into a note and make a heart knot, put it on the river lantern and float together to Baiwu Peak, then this wish will definitely come true. "

She looked at him with a smile on her face, "Brother Su, do you have any wish?"

"I..." Su Yun shook his head in a daze.

Yun Qing still smiled gently: "Everyone has a wish, right? Brother Su, if you stay tonight and light up a river lantern tomorrow morning, your wish may come true."

There was only a moment of silence, Su Yun shook his head again, "No. I'd better leave the city today."

"En." There was a little disappointment in the woman's gentle eyes, and her gaze turned to the top of the tower, where unmelted ice shone brightly and colorfully in the sun.

"As soon as the Double Lantern Festival is over, spring in the Northern Territory will come." Yun Qing said softly, "Brother Su, I hope we will meet later."

225 Farewell

Outside the south gate, on the side of the post house, Yun Qing's eyes fixed on Su Yun, and he didn't say anything more.

Although they had only been together for half a day, Su Yun always felt that the gentle and gentle woman in front of him seemed familiar.Except for the cinnabar under the eyebrows, her slender nose and the corners of her thin soft lips overlap with an image buried deep in her heart, with a faint touch and irresistible concern.

Qinger...

"Brother Su, take care."

Yun Qing lowered her face slightly, and the man's slightly absent-minded gaze always made her heart flutter. She didn't know why he always looked at her like this, but the emotion in his eyes could not help but make people feel ashamed.

Su Yun came back to his senses.

"Take care," he said, giving a long bow.

Yun Qing bowed slightly in return.

Gentle and elegant, respect each other as guests.

Even the feeling of getting along is similar.

Su Yun was in a daze again, and there was a commotion behind him in a trance.

The south gate of the imperial capital is the main entrance to the city. It is evening at this moment, and the five city gates are open. Cars and horses are coming and going on the avenue, and there is an endless stream of people.But with the noise, the people who entered and exited at the door suddenly separated to the two sides like a tide, giving way to the central avenue.

Hearing the urgent sound of horseshoes, he shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Be careful!"

The final sound of the word "le" was not broken, and a black horse whizzed past the crowd that was hastily avoiding like a whirlwind.Suddenly there were countless exclamations, which were the voices of the carriages, horses and pedestrians who had not had time to leave the road when they saw that they were about to be hit.

This is a busy street, knowing that there are many people and the roads are narrow, but this person still dares to gallop so recklessly.Su Yun frowned slightly, seeing the black horse approaching, he couldn't help but took a step forward.If he was in Qi country, he would have already taken action to stop it, but this is the imperial capital after all, so it might not be appropriate to meddle in other people's affairs.Just as he was hesitating, the horse had come to him, but when he looked up, he was taken aback.

"Xiao Dan?" Yun Qing also saw clearly at this time, who is the girl in the red dress in front of the horse, who is not Yun Dan?

But she is not the one who rides the horse, on the contrary, this naughty girl is the one who hinders the horse.

Yun Dan stood in front of the horse with her body on her back. Because of her unsteady footing, she pressed one hand on the shoulder of the person behind her, while her other hand firmly covered the man's mouth.

Even if someone blocked his sight and held his shoulders and mouth, the person who controls the reins is still very good at controlling. Whenever he is about to overturn a carriage and horse and hurt a pedestrian, he can deftly defuse it. .

"It's the sixth prince, Yunyi." Yun Qing relieved himself, and explained to Su Yun with a smile, "He went back to the city with the eldest prince, and he was probably just greeted by Xiao Dan and the others. As long as he meets Xiao Dan, there will be more absurd things .Brother Su has been with us for a long time, so it's no surprise."

Su Yun nodded and looked behind Yun Dan.The man on the horse had deep eyes and thick lips, short brown hair, a dark red band on his forehead, and light brown and bright yellow eyes that shone like gold.

Yun Yi controlled the rein with one hand, raised her lips and gave a slight smile, her brows and eyes full of unruly meaning.

With his riding skills and martial arts, he could obviously subdue his younger sister to stop the horse and fall off the horse, but he just let his temper pass through the crowds on the bustling avenue at will, and his mischievousness is not inferior to Yundan.

"Sixth brother, don't say it!"

The girl on the horseback still yelled angrily, the steed had galloped past the crowd, and after the sound of the hooves, there were constant complaints and cursing, but it fell silent after a while.

Su Yun turned around.After the chaos, the horses, horses and pedestrians who gathered on the road again automatically separated to the two sides.

For a moment, the noisy street quieted down, and people all looked at a group of cavalrymen walking into the city gate with smiles, and someone said: "It's the eldest prince, the eldest prince has returned to the capital."

226 Farewell

The eldest prince Yunying is the heir apparent of the empire.

In recent years, Emperor Yun has lived in the imperial palace, and Yun Ying, who is in her early twenties, is often responsible for state affairs and government affairs. In fact, Yun Ying is already the real master of the northern imperial city.

Yunying has a friendly personality and is approachable. He often visits the market privately. Many people in the imperial capital know him and love him. Seeing that he is the leader returning from a tour of the city, they automatically leave the road and line the road to welcome him.

The young man on the white steed is tall and tall, making people think of his mother when they see it.Yunying also has a pair of golden pupils like the scorching sun, a straight nose like a peak, thick eyebrows and thick lips, and is extremely handsome.

He smiled and waved at the horse, his broad lips curved into a gentle arc, turning all the toughness and majesty of the profound face into a spring breeze, and a little bit of warmth sprinkled down from his golden eyes, moistening the surrounding fields.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Who is that?"

Someone whispered to the companions around him.

More and more people turned their attention to another white horse behind Yunying.

Immediately sat a young boy with snow clothes and black hair. His clothes were not special, and his horse was not tall. He was blocked behind the stalwart figure of the eldest prince, and he was escorted by guards.

But for some reason, people occasionally caught a glimpse of the young man's face, and they couldn't take their eyes back, just staring at him in a daze, forgetting everything around them.

The surroundings became more and more quiet, only the sound of the cavalry's kicking into the city gate.

Yunying beckoned, and the guards gathered around her, blocking the figure behind her that attracted more and more attention.

He turned his head and smiled at the people behind him, and said slightly apologetically: "Little Qi Bie is not used to it, the people here are no better than the people under your rule, if you like it, you will just watch it endlessly like this."

Qi Xuan smiled faintly: "It's all used by Aunt Lin and Big Brother."

Yunying smiled warmly, "The imperial capital has been like this for hundreds of years. You lived in the palace when you were young, and you are not familiar with the people's customs."

"Really?" Qi Xuan said, "I seldom go outside in Qi Country, Eldest Brother is more close to the people than Aunt Lin, and the common people here know you."

Yunying Yinglang's face glowed with a light golden soft halo under the evening sun, and his golden pupils shone with warmth.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The Queen Mother never likes to rule the country by force."

Qi Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, his long and dense eyelashes left a curved shadow on the snow-colored skin.

"Only the strong can say that they will not be persuaded by their strength, and weak countries have no right to choose a peaceful way."

Yunying was taken aback, then stretched her lips, patted the young man's shoulder lightly, and said with a gentle smile, "Okay, let's not talk about it because of the holiday today." Slightly straightened up and looked into the city, but there was no one left of the horse Juechen. And the shadow of Hei Jun, who was going, couldn't help but smiled again, "Xiaodan 'hijacked' Ayi and didn't know where he went. She is also stupid enough, she didn't let him tell, and thought you didn't know."

"Is it because Aunt Lin specially summoned me back to the imperial capital? After meeting Xiaodan, I guessed about eighty-nine percent."

"That's exactly what happened." Yunying smiled and shook her head, "It's true that the Queen Mother, let Xiaodan be willful, and specially issued an edict to send you to the capital, not to mention the hardships of the journey, and I don't know that there are other subordinate countries under you. What do the courtiers think?"

Qi Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The coming-of-age ceremony is also a big event. The journey is not bad, it's not hard."

"You really look like the empress. No wonder Xiaoqing always says that besides the empress, you are the one who dotes on her the most!"

Qi Xuan smiled and didn't argue, just asked: "Tonight's salute?"

"Yes. In fact, it's not just for this matter that I called you back. Isn't it your birthday tonight?" Yunying hesitated to speak, and finally smiled, "Forget it, let's not talk so much, I will be killed by Xiaodan later. scold."

Qi Xuan just nodded and didn't ask any further questions, the two of them rode slowly together, passed through the city gate and headed north.

Stay on 227

Tonight is your birthday.

He didn't listen deliberately, but the phrases of the two people surrounded by the guards still came to his ears very clearly.

Is today his birthday?

Su Yun was stunned for a long time, and heard someone calling: "Brother Su, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Su Yun recovered.

Yun Qing stood by the side of the road. After the cavalry, the crowd went on the road again, bustling and bustling, and it was a lively scene just now.

"Xiaoqing," Su Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty's birthday is tonight?"

"Yes." Yun Qing replied, "Brother Su probably doesn't know?"

Su Yun nodded. "Your Majesty, he...had never celebrated his birthday when he was in the Qi Kingdom."

Yunqing also ordered
