Chapter 26 Lantern Festival

The east
  wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at Lantern Festival, and even more blows down, making stars like rain.

  Lin Luan looked at the clusters of fireworks blooming in the dark night, looking a little dazed. Suddenly, her bun was lightly touched by someone, and she finally came back to her senses.

  Looking at the man beside her, Lin Luan suddenly felt a little angry for some reason when she saw his palm withdrawing from her bun.

  She reached out and stroked her bun. The next moment, she took off a hibiscus hairpin from her bun. Lin Luan expressionlessly threw the hibiscus hairpin back to the stall in front of her.

  Perhaps it was because Xiao Ning was in a good mood as he brought her to the lantern festival as she wished. At this moment, seeing Lin Luan's expression calm and cold, but obviously resistant to him, Xiao Ning's eyes darkened, and there was a look on her face like a crown jewel. But he still smiled and didn't look dissatisfied.

  The vendor thought that Lin Luan was dissatisfied with the hibiscus hairpin, so he took a subtle look at the appearance of the talented husband and the lady in front of him. Their clothes were made of silk, and the warm smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

  He thought for a moment, then took out a relatively fine jade hairpin from the box and gave it to Xiao Ning with a smile. He nodded and bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. buy this hairpin for your wife." , this is the most fashionable style this year, and several men have just bought this hairpin for their wives."

  Xiao Ning heard this, the smile on her lips couldn't help but curved slightly, and her eyes became extremely... soft.

  Sensing Xiao Ning's somewhat smiling gaze on her, Lin Luan first raised her eyes, looked back at him, and then looked at the hairpin offered by the vendor with a cold expression.

  After listening to what he said, the lady in front of him seemed to have a slightly chilled look on her face. The vendor looked at the man and woman in front of him in confusion, looking at the man and woman who seemed to be a perfect match. He was a little unsure whether he was a good match. It's not that I said the wrong thing.

  Just when Lin Luan's face was slightly condensed and she was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Ning suddenly stretched out her arms to take her into his arms, then reached out to take the hairpin offered by the vendor and put it on Lin Luan's bun.

  He Zhong stepped forward knowingly, paid the hawker, continued to look at his eyes, his nose and his heart, and followed behind the two men with his head lowered and his eyes narrowed.

  Spring is approaching, but because it has just rained during the day, the cold wind at night is still the same as in winter. The lights on the riverside are swaying, and the hanging lamps are blown up and down by the evening breeze. The river lanterns in the river are also floating along with the ripples of the river, like a boat in the ripples of the water.

  Under the dim light, Lin Luan suddenly raised his hand, waved his arm towards the river, and then retracted his hand as if nothing had happened.

  The warm breath fell on the fair and tender skin beside her ears, making Lin Luan become stiffer. After listening to Xiao Ning's words, she paused and finally gave up her resistance.

  Xiao Ning glanced sideways, her face as indifferent as water, as cold as usual, as if it was not much different from her usual appearance, but Lin Luan noticed that at this moment, he must be a little sullen in his heart.

  Xiao stared at Lin Luan, who looked a little stiff, and shook the hairpin she wore in her bun. He smiled casually, lowered his head, and asked in a low and soft voice beside her jade-like ears. "How did Aluan promise me yesterday, be obedient, okay?"

  Lin Luan's expression was full of resistance. She turned her head and said in a cold voice, "I don't want it."

  Looking at Lin Luan, she lowered her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, showing no emotion, but her face looked calm and gentle. Xiao Ning smiled and looked away, glancing at He Zhong who was following not far away.

  Lin Luan looked at him, the expression on his face was calm and unruffled, as if he was stating something very ordinary.

  I just heard her casually say: "The hairpin accidentally fell into the water."

  Seeing her rogue look, it was obvious that he thought he couldn't do anything to her. The emotion in Xiao Ning's eyes was dim and unclear, but there was a curl at the corner of her lips. There was a slight, slightly cold arc.
    Lin Luan, with her eyes downcast, suddenly heard Xiao Ning chuckle beside her. She didn't know why, but when she heard Xiao Ning's chuckle, her heart suddenly "thumped".

  Just as he was about to stay away from Xiao Ning cautiously, Lin Luan was suddenly put into his arms and picked up sideways.

  Lin Luan's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly stretched out his hand to put on the curtain hat for himself. He somewhat deceived himself to avoid the slightly surprised and curious eyes of passers-by, while struggling with shame and anger: "You... let go. Me."

  Xiao Ning said nothing. Lin Luan was held in his arms through the hazy gauze, and all she could see was his slightly stretched jawline, revealing the man's worried mood at this moment.

  It was obvious that Xiao Ning was angered by what she had just done.

  She obviously knew how to resolve his anger, but for some reason, Lin Luan was slightly stiff and refused to say even a few soft words.

  Two green-maned horses galloped across the Twenty-Four Bridge, which is the only way from the palace to the Lantern Festival.

  I have walked on this bridge countless times, and I should have been calm as usual, but unexpectedly, one of the green-maned horses went wrong due to the owner's sudden loss of concentration, and almost crashed into the railing of the Twenty-Four Bridge.

  At the critical moment, it was Pei Ying beside him who suddenly raised his voice, calling back Xiao Jue

  's lost thoughts: "Your Highness!" Xiao Jue, who realized his loss of composure, retracted his sight from the riverside, tried his best to rein in the green-maned horse, and looked at Pedestrians on the bridge were either panicking or running away in surprise. Their gentle and jade-like faces were a little pale, and it was obvious that they still had not fully recovered.

  Pei Ying frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Jue in front of him with worry. Seeing his strange expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what happened to you tonight? You are so distracted."

  Xiao Jue was stunned. His eyes fell on the crowds of people flowing by the river, and he saw the lights swaying gently with the night wind, and the flickering shadows of the lights, as if the graceful and slender figure he had just seen was just his illusion.

  After a long while, Xiao Jue said softly, somewhat awkwardly: "I just... seemed to have seen Aluan."

  After hearing Xiao Jue's answer, Pei Ying was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked towards the river not far away, and said in astonishment. : "A Luan?"

  Thinking of the girl who had grown into an unparalleled beauty, calm and gentle, and her current situation, Pei Ying tried hard to suppress the faint emotions in his eyes.

  He withdrew his gaze from the riverside and said to Xiao Jue as calmly as possible: "Miss Lin Er is now worshiping Buddha and practicing Qing Dynasty at Xiangguo Temple. How could His Highness see her here? His Highness must have missed Miss Lin Er too much. For a moment, I'm so confused."

  After hearing Pei Ying's consolation, Xiao Jue was silent for a moment, and then looked back in despair, then rode his horse slowly, and said in a low voice: "Maybe."
