"That will have to wait for months."
Liu Ruo Qing lowered her eyes in disappointment as her small mouth pouted.
Looking at her current state, Yan Yuan smiled as he extended his hand and pinched her pouting mouth, and said: "As long as you can endure for another three months, after three months, I promise I will bring you out to play."
In the end, Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan compromised and obediently stayed in the Duke Palace, waiting for the little thing in his stomach to "come out".
In the Prince Lu's Mansion, Liu Tian Xin had completely recovered. It was only because of that face that she hid in her room and did not see anyone. Only Yan Jue would come over and talk to her every day.
On this day, after using the Evening meal, Yan Jue came again.
"Let's go, I'll take you out to play."
Yan Jue pulled her up and walked outside, but Liu Tian Xin stopped in his tracks abruptly and looked at him in astonishment.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to go for a walk? "
Yan Jue looked at her stupefied expression, held the fan in his hand and lightly tapped her head: "Didn't I tell you two days ago that I would take you out to play in two days? It's the first day of the Chinese New Year, so it's very lively outside. I'll take you out for a walk. "
Liu Tian Xin looked at him without saying a word, wanting to remind her that it was inconvenient for her to leave the room with her current face. However, looking at the delighted look on Yan Jue's face, it was not like she could ruin his mood.
Just as he was considering what to say, Yan Jue walked over to the table, took out a hat and handed it over to Liu Tian Xin.
"I made this hat for you. If you put it on and go out, no one will see your face."
Liu Ruo Qing looked at the hat in front of him. Her expression froze for a moment, but she didn't say anything. She obediently took the hat and put it on her head.
The gauze around the hat was made of a special kind of cloth. From the outside, one couldn't see the face of the person inside, but from the inside, their line of sight was very clear.
This kind of hat was basically worn by the young miss of an official or wealthy family when they went out.
Although the Easternum was open to the public, there were many ladies who liked to wear hats when they went out to avoid meeting other men, so when Liu Tian Xin went out wearing this hat, no one would suspect anything.
The people in the Prince's Mansion only thought that after Lady Gong was kidnapped and her face didn't recover from the injury, so they wore a hat and didn't suspect her motives.
"Yeah, I really didn't notice. I was so close that I couldn't even see your face."
Yan Jue could move his face a little closer. Although he could not see Liu Tian Xin, but Liu Tian Xin's face was so close to him that he could see it very clearly. He almost kissed her.
Liu Tian Xin's face flushed red. She took a step back and pulled a distance away from Yan Jue.
"Aren't we going out? Still not leaving? "
Yan Jue could see the sullenness in her tone, but he didn't think too much about it. He only smiled in a good mood and directly grabbed her hand, walking out of Prince Lu's Mansion.
Liu Tian Xin lowered her eyebrows and looked at the big hand that was tightly holding onto her. It was warm, comfortable, and extremely safe.
She let Yan Jue drag her through the streets of Jindu.
Beside the moat, it was already packed with men and women, all squatting down to put out lanterns. This was a custom of the citizens of Easternum.
"Do you know what they're doing?"
Seeing Liu Tian Xin staring at the men and women by the river in a daze, she smiled and went close to her ear and asked mysteriously.
The warm breath flowed into her ears, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
"I don't know."
She touched her somewhat hot cheeks and forced herself to stay calm.
Fortunately he was wearing a hat, so Yan Jue could not see her current expression.
"They are writing the name of the one they love on the lamp and placing it in the river. If they are fated to be with the one they love, the lamp will be picked up by the one they love."
"Oh."
Liu Tian Xin was somewhat emotional as she stared at the lotus lamp s that were slowly swimming towards the center of the river.
In this vast sea of lanterns, how many times had he had to cultivate in order to obtain such a fate if he could pick up the lamp his lover had put down?
Yan Jue saw that she was staring at the lotus lamp blankly, and laughed: "Do you want to try? I'll buy it for you. "
His playful voice brought Liu Tian Xin back to reality. He looked a little panicked, but realized that he was wearing a hat, and calmed down a little.
"What am I trying to do? It's not like I have a lover."
From inside the muslin, Liu Tian Xin's unhappy voice came out. Yan Jue's expression was startled, and without reason, there was an extra burst of disappointment on her face.
He glanced at Liu Tian Xin indifferently, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If there isn't, we can try, let's go."
"I don't want to try. I don't even have a lover. Whose name do you want me to write?"
Yan Jue stopped in his tracks, suddenly he bent down and looked her in the eye inside the gauze, his handsome face, in the next second, revealed a sly smile.
"Since you don't have it, then just write it down for me. Let's see if we are fated to meet each other."
Liu Tian Xin's heart was beating really quickly because of Yan Jue's words. Even though she knew that he was joking, she still lost control of her heart due to him.
"What's there to try? Aren't you bored?"
As she said that, she left, but was pulled over by Yan Jue, and directly walked towards a stall by the side of the road.
"Young Master, do you want to buy a lamp?"
"Give me two."
"Alright."
After paying, Yan Jue passed the lamp in his hand to Liu Tian Xin, "You really don't want it?"
"No!"
"Fine, if you don't want to try, then do it yourself."
He picked up his brush and stood at the side, ready to write his name. Liu Tian Xin could not help but feel curious, and asked softly: "Who are you planning to write?"
"This is a secret, how can I tell you?"
When Liu Tian Xin moved closer, he dodged to the side and quickly wrote her name.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't want to say it. Who cares."
Liu Tian Xin looked away in disdain. Beneath the veil, there was a hint of loneliness.
Without needing to guess, she already knew whose name he was going to write. Unfortunately, the other party was his sister-in-law. Since she loved him but could not, she could only rely on her feelings to comfort herself.
She watched Yan Jue place the lanterns into the river, then deliberately averted her eyes, feeling a sharp pain.
"You really don't want to try?"
Yan Jue had already returned in front of her and asked once again, not giving up.
"I already said that there's no one to love, so it won't work even if I try."
Liu Tian Xin frowned, she did not want to discuss this issue with Yan Jue, so she continued to walk forward.
Looking at her somewhat determined back, Yan Jue sighed, and softly muttered: "Even if you don't want to try, you really are heartless."
Liu Tian Xin walked a few steps, then was attracted by a unique looking lantern, and directly walked to the front of the stall.
"Boss, how much are these lamps?"
"Miss, this lamp is not for sale. As long as you are able to guess the riddle of the lamp, you can bring the lamp back."
"Is that so?"
Liu Tian Xin took a look at the riddle in the light, but before she could see the light clearly, suddenly, a black shadow fell from the window of the neighboring restaurant, and directly smashed into the stall.
In a split-second, several lamps in front of the booth were set on fire, scaring the people around them into fleeing and screaming.
Liu Tian Xin was quickly pulled to the side, and only now did Liu Tian Xin notice that the black shadow that had fallen from above was actually a person.
Upon closer inspection, Yan Jue saw that the face lying on the ground, causing a trace of shock to flash past his eyes.
How could it be him!
There was no time to go up and confirm that person's life or death. A few more people jumped down from the restaurant, as both sides engaged in an intense battle.
"Be careful!"
Yan Jue pulled Liu Tian Xin to the side, covered her ears, and said in a low voice: "Wait for me here."
