MTL - Princess a Lives By Kissing Me Every Day-Chapter 31
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuci bought that painting back again.
Lin Moran was shocked for a moment, and the roots of his ears blushed unconsciously. He raised his eyes to look at Qin Yuci's face, and asked in a low voice, "Why did the princess buy it..."
"If you like it, I'll draw another one for you, why waste gold and silver."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yuci shook his head, his red lips parted slightly, and said slowly, "Because it's worth it."
The voice was very soft, blending into the noise around him, and it was not so clear. Lin Moran couldn't hear it clearly for a while, but when he wanted to ask again, he suddenly heard a crackling sound from the sky.
Looking up, I don't know when the fireworks were set off.
Now is approaching the end of the year, the most celebrated day of the year. Whether it is a famous family or a villager in the city, every household is busy preparing, buying ingredients, making new clothes, hanging red lights... There is no curfew in Dazhao. It's still lively, people who sell sugar, those who write and paint, and those who perform juggling, no matter what it is, it makes people happy.
Including these clusters of fireworks blooming in the sky.
Everything in the palace is good, but it lacks a kind of reassuring smoke and fire. What you see is resplendent and magnificent, and all you meet are royal dignitaries. After a long time, you will inevitably forget that there is another existence.
until now.
"Look, princess." Lin Moran was really happy, he unconsciously raised his hand and grabbed Qin Yuci's clothes and shook it, his eyes reflected the bright light of fireworks, "It's so beautiful!"
"En." As soon as the words fell, Qin Yuci raised his head along with him.
He just lifted it up, and then he heard the people around him say again: "It is rumored that making a wish on the fireworks has a very obvious effect."
Wishing on fireworks, this is another saying she has never heard before.
Qin Yuci raised the corners of his lips slightly, turned to look at Lin Moran's side face: "Really?"
"Really." Lin Moran nodded in agreement, his eyes curved and his smile was sweet, "It's such a good opportunity, why don't you give it a try, princess?"
"Alright." Qin Yuci said softly, as she said, she made a silent wish in her heart.
After a while, Lin Moran glanced sideways: "What did the princess promise?"
"The country is peaceful and the people are safe." As soon as the words fell, the people around him opened their lips.
This really made Lin Moran choke up.
She originally thought that Qin Yuci would make some wishes for good health, but she didn't realize that she was out of control, so she paused, nodded and praised, "The princess is awesome, this wish will definitely come true!"
"Where's Mo Ran?" Qin Yuci asked in response, "What kind of wish did you make?"
It's kind of hard to say...
Lin Moran coughed lightly. He couldn't say that half of the wishes he made were related to food. After a long silence, he said a few words in a slightly embarrassed voice: "Same as the princess."
After finishing speaking, Qin Yuci seemed to have seen through her long ago, and the smile in his eyes suddenly deepened.
Then he said: "Actually, I have another wish."
Lin Moran hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Qin Yuci curled his lips into a chuckle: "I hope that the rivers and mountains will be immortal, that the father, the queen, and the queen will be in good health, and that everyone in Changle Palace will be happy, including Xixue and Chaoyun..."
"Naturally, including Mo Ran."
What is used is not also, but more.
Lin Moran paused when he heard the words, his heart beat faster for no reason, then he turned his head again, and looked at Qin Yuci's side face through the breeze and bright moon.
It took a while before she opened her mouth seriously, and still repeated what she said just now: "Mo Ran is the same as a princess."
"But there is one more thing." She smiled, raised her hand a little shyly to fiddle with the hair around her neck a few times, her voice was mixed with the noise around her, and it sounded a little unreal.
But it was still captured by Qin Yuci keenly—
Is the sentence: "I hope the princess will always be healthy and happy."
"peaceful always."
"..."
After the fireworks are set off, the trick show finally begins.
This troupe is very famous in Yaocheng, and they will perform here once a month, but every time there are always some unexpected new tricks, which are really hard to stop and unforgettable.
So every time it starts, there are always a lot of onlookers.
The servants who accompanied the two paid some money early in the morning to occupy a good position, right in the middle, there was no one in front, and the view was very wide.
This couldn't help but make Lin Moran lament how nice it is to have money, and after waiting happily for a while, the trick began.
This was Lin Moran's first time seeing an ancient juggling performance. He thought it was not as good as the modern ones, but now it seems that it is really different.
Hanging money with thread ashes, returning sword dan beans, picking beans by immortals, drinking wine from empty pockets...Although they are all small tricks, they are more exquisite, and the sound of gongs and drums that add to the atmosphere around them is even more fascinating.
The atmosphere at the scene was really warm, and there were endless applause. Later, the master Xu Shi saw that everyone was still full of enthusiasm, and even performed some special skills of swallowing swords and spitting fire.
Really enjoyable.
Lin Moran returned home happily, even when she returned to the inn, she was still reminiscing about it, and Qin Yuci led her to her room again without paying attention.
It wasn't until Qin Yuci closed the door and even put the latch on that she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
I was stunned for a while, and quickly asked: "Princess?"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yuci raised his eyes to look at her, and said in a very calm tone: "It's getting late, it's time to rest."
Lin Moran responded, "But the princess... Moran has her own room."
"Staying outside is not as safe as staying in the palace." Qin Yuci said calmly, raising his eyebrows slightly, "I am worried that Mo Ran will be in danger."
This is true, but after all, many people followed, and it would be embarrassing if they were seen.
Lin Moran was a little hesitant when he heard the words, he opened his lips to speak, and heard Qin Yuci add another sentence: "Furthermore, didn't Moran want to know the purpose of this trip."
"It's a long story. If you don't stay, I will tell you what I will say."
If speaking skills were compared to playing chess, the move just now was a horse-riding move, but this move is a general.
Lin Moran was speechless for a while, and Qin Yuci's words were correct, and he was really curious, so he hesitated for a while and then nodded in agreement.
Xiao Er prepared the water early in the morning, and the two of them went to bed one after another after tidying up a bit. The bed in the inn was not as big as the one in Qin Yuci's bedroom, so it was enough for one person to sleep, but it was a bit crowded for two people.
Can only shoulder to shoulder, hand to hand, turn your head slightly, you can smell the good smell of the other person.
Lin Moran was in a daze for a moment, so he couldn't help but quickly took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and listened quietly to Qin Yuci's speech.
It turned out that this trip actually involved matters above the court.
For more details, we have to start with the generation of the first emperor.
The first emperor was a man of both civil and military skills, who was decisive in killing and attacking. At that time, the world was in chaos, many countries were in endless disputes, and the people were poor. If the first emperor hadn't been brave enough to quell the war and establish Dazhao in one fell swoop, I don't know when this hard life will be over. end.
At that time, Emperor Xian was a hero in everyone's mind, not only because he established Dazhao, but also because he did a lot for the common people.
It's a pity that as he grew older and was deceived by some traitors, the old emperor became more and more sensitive. Not only did he ignore the government, he was intoxicated in wine and meat all day long, and he even dreamed of practicing some kind of immortality pill.
It wasn't until the emperor came to power that everything slowly began to improve.
But it was still not enough. The problems of the past could not be solved overnight. In addition to the tense war in the northwest and internal and external troubles, the emperor was indeed somewhat powerless.
It turns out that under the seemingly comfortable life, these things are still hidden.
Lin Moran was worried when he heard the words, and subconsciously asked softly: "Then what should I do..."
"There is still a way." As soon as the words fell, Qin Yuci smiled lightly, and raised his hand to caress her fingertips, meaning to comfort her, "Have Mo Ran heard of Zhao Zhongyuan, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Zhongyuan, this name is indeed familiar.
Lin Moran has been reading a lot of books under the guidance of Qin Yuci these days, and he always feels that he has seen this name somewhere, and it seems to be in a collection of poems after careful consideration.
"It was indeed written by Mr. Zhao." When she uttered this conjecture, she was indeed praised by Qin Yuci, "Mo Ran remembers it very clearly. Mr. Zhao has very profound knowledge in poetry."
"But poet is just one of his identities." Qin Yuci followed up, "And his other identity is the left minister of the previous dynasty."
After finishing speaking, Lin Moran was shocked.
No wonder when she first read that collection of poems, she felt that the content was romantic, profound, and full of connotations. It turned out that it was written by such a famous artist. Rao had already respected Mr. Zhao before she met him.
After feeling a little bit of emotion, he said tentatively: "So the princess came this time, is, is it at the order of the Holy Majesty, to invite Mr. Zhao back?"
As expected of her Mo Ran.
Qin Yuci smiled, and nodded lightly in response: "Old Zhao is well-versed in the past and present, he is outstanding, and he has always shown others with fraternity and generosity. He has a high prestige in the court, but it is a pity that he had to return to his hometown because of some things. From then on, I will not ask about court affairs."
"Royal father didn't intend to disturb, but the current situation is really out of control. If Mr. Zhao can return to the court, everything will be greatly improved."
What I said is correct, but this is just a good wish after all, and it is not yet known whether it will be fulfilled.
Xu Shi sensed the worry of the people around him, Qin Yuci then said in a low voice: "Mo Ran, don't worry, since I'm here, I'm almost sure."
"It's just..." she started, as if to say something.
But before he could say anything, he suddenly heard some rustling sound in his ears, it was very soft, mixed with the noise from outside the window, it was not too clear, only people with excellent hearing could detect it.
"Hush." Qin Yuci noticed the strange voice, and quickly stood up in response to the sound. He raised his hand and pulled Lin Moran over to protect him in his arms. The moonlight shone into the room and was reflected on the curtain, outlining the outlines of the surrounding objects.
But gradually, there was a phantom on it, which looked like a human being, but also a ghost. Lin Moran was startled, and subconsciously wanted to remind Qin Yuci, but he didn't expect her to react a few minutes faster than himself.
In an instant, a Hidden Sword appeared in her hand, and with a vigorous throw, the sharp short sword came out of her hand, pierced through the curtain at high speed, and embedded in the phantom with incomparable accuracy.
But clearly avoided the vital point, and hit the person's left abdomen, which caused the person to suddenly suffer pain, growled and wanted to make a move, but was interrupted by the violent knocking sound of the door, looking back, a group of people came in response The servant appeared in front of him.
The best time for assassination has been missed now.
The visitor gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, not wanting to be entangled any more, and escaped by jumping out of the window along the way he came.
The leading servant then said: "Hurry up!"
"No need." Before he could move, Qin Yuci interrupted him.
Although he had just experienced an assassination, Qin Yuci was still the same as before, with no panic on his face, and even his tone was still calm and dignified: "Let him go."
Everyone was puzzled: "Princess?"
"This is a very important matter, so it's better to keep a low profile. Unless you have to, you should not reveal your identity and cause unnecessary trouble." She said, sitting in the curtain and talking to a few people, her warm breath fell on Lin Moran's neck , "Killing the assassin with your own hands is the worst policy."
"Furthermore..." She paused at this point, then smiled lightly, "The assassination failed, and he was even injured in such a useless way, do you think he can live when he goes back?"
This is true.
When the few people left the palace, they didn't make any noise. When they came, they walked along the path, and their clothes were very low-key. Not to mention Xixue and Chaoyun, even Lin Moran didn't know the purpose of this trip until just now.
Rao is like this, but he still encountered danger. If it happened to be a coincidence, it would be somewhat inexplicable.
just a little bit—
Behind this incident, there is probably a behind-the-scenes man with an unusual identity, who not only knows the purpose of their visit this time, but even... tries to stop something.
"Yes." The servant replied, since the princess didn't tell them to chase, then they didn't chase.
It's just that now that this happened, the road ahead might be a bit difficult for them tomorrow, so they must be very energetic.
"En." Qin Yuci nodded, and said slowly, "Go back."
It sounds like you're tired.
As soon as the words fell, the servant hurriedly responded respectfully, fearing to disturb the princess's sleep, she hurriedly backed out, carefully checked that the door seemed to be still closed, and quickly and carefully closed the door.
But just in case, a few people were left to stand guard, and the huge figure cast on the window paper was a bit abrupt.
Lin Moran was a little embarrassed for what happened, as if he was afraid of being heard by them, he subconsciously lowered his voice.
Helplessly, he got out of Qin Yuci's arms, and asked with concern in a small voice, "Princess, are you okay?"
The voice was soft as if whispering.
Qin Yuci's hearing is excellent, and she easily heard the content of the words, but she just pretended not to hear, pursed her lips to her ears, and asked her softly as if whispering: "What did Mo Ran say?" ?”
He became deaf out of nowhere.
Lin Moran was a little helpless, but because of the servants outside the door, he didn't dare to turn up the volume, so he could only sit up a little bit, put his hands around his lips as a horn, and said softly: "Mo Ran just wanted to ask, princess, do you still want to speak?" okay?"
"I'm fine." As soon as the words finished, Qin Yuci shook his head and whispered as if following her example.
"It's fine." Lin Moran continued to whisper to her, "It's getting late, the princess should rest."
"Mo Ran is right." Qin Yuci also continued to whisper, warm breath on his face, very itchy.
Obviously just experienced such a thing just now, the atmosphere should be a little heavy, but looking at the current situation, it is inexplicably childish, the two of them whispered softly like kindergarten children, talking to each other.
Lin Moran was a little shy for a while, paused, and didn't continue to entangle with Qin Yuci, and retracted into the quilt first, said the princess to sleep, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
This look was really cute, which made Qin Yuci's lips curl up slowly.
Nodding, and then laying down with her clothes together, she glanced at Lin Moran beside her, not in a hurry to fall asleep, but got closer to her, so close that she could hug her full with just raising her hand.
Only then was Qin Yuci satisfied, staring quietly at Lin Moran's profile, with a strong smile in his eyes, and said, "I also want to sleep peacefully."
"It's just that I just experienced that kind of thing just now. If I really want to fall asleep like this, I must have some frightening dreams..."
Judging from this tone, it seems that he still wants to hear her tell a story.
Lin Moran was a little helpless when he heard the words, but he really couldn't bear to see her pitifully having a nightmare. He sighed softly in his heart, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to change his routine again.
Qi Lip said to her: "But I know that running around for a day is really hard, Mo Ran must be very tired, and I shouldn't bother him because of emotion and reason."
"so…"
She said, her voice was obviously very soft, but it was clearly mixed with many emotions, as gentle as the intimacy between lovers: "Just like that night, it would be good for me to hug Mo Ran."
"As long as Mo Ran is there, everything should be worry-free."
"No matter what you dream about, it's nothing to worry about, it's not worth mentioning."
