C898 Our customs in the East

His tone was a little grumbling, a little wronged, and a little sad and disappointed. However, when he said "don't want me anymore", Liu Ruo Qing's heart tightened.

"Prince, don't say that. The wangfei, she …" If she is still alive, she will definitely return to your side and won't leave you behind. "

"Really?"

Yan Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw her serious look.

Seeing the light that flashed past his eyes, Liu Ruo Qing's body stiffened, followed by a nod of her head. "This little one has also heard that the prince has an extremely deep relationship with the wangfei, if he wasn't forced by his own will, how could the wangfei be willing to leave you?"

Yan Yuan stared into Liu Ruo Qing's eyes, and after a long while, he laughed bitterly. "You're right, Qing Er will not reject me."

Although Liu Ruo Qing was surprised that such a depressing person like Yan Yuan would actually discuss the relationship between him and the Crown Princess Jing with an "outsider", she just thought that perhaps it was because he had been suppressing his emotions for too long, and because it was Yuanxiao today, she had slightly lost control over it, which was why he was talking so much with an outsider like her.

Liu Ruo Qing thought like this in her heart, when Yan Yuan once again looked at her and asked: "You still haven't answered me, do you want to go out and play? If you are willing, I will bring Heng Er with me to go out with you. "

Facing the earnest look in Yan Yuan's dark eyes, Liu Ruo Qing also didn't know what was going on with herself, so she mysteriously nodded her head, "Alright."

Seeing Yan Yuan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, he seemed to be in a good mood, a thought flashed past Liu Ruo Qing's mind, but it flashed too quickly, before she could capture it, the idea disappeared.

Unknowingly, it was already night time. After using the Evening meal, Yan Yuan carried young son and appeared in front of her.

young son looked very happy. She was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and had it hugged onto her hands. Her chubby arms were wrapped around Yan Yuan's neck as she said to her, "Uncle, uncle, Royal Father has agreed to take me out to play."

Seeing the excited expression on the little guy's face, Liu Ruo Qing smiled and nodded due to the infection.

Yan Yuan stood in front of her while carrying the little fellow, and asked: "Can we go now?"

"Mm, that's enough."

As she said that, she took the lead and walked out of the room. Yan Yuan called out to her, "Wait."

Perplexed, she turned her head to see that Yan Yuan had already put down the little fellow. She walked to the clothes rack and picked up the cloak that he had personally gifted to her a few days ago. He put it on her body and skillfully tied the belt on her cloak with his fingers.

She looked up at him, meeting his eyes as he looked at her. She smiled at him and sweetly said, "Thank you."

Yan Yuan pursed his lips and laughed softly, a trace of love in his eyes. He reached out and gently patted the back of her head, and then, once again, hugged young son who was obediently waiting at the side. He stood up and said to her: "Let's go."

"Alright."

When she walked to Yan Yuan's side, she habitually reached out to grab his arm, but in the next second, she regained her senses and quietly withdrew her hand that was about to touch his arm.

The moon was shining with willow branches, and people lived around dusk.

Liu Ruo Qing saw that there were many people walking on the streets, men and women who were open-minded about each other. Even if they were not married and went out to play together, no one would think that it was inappropriate for them to have such intimate actions.

Looking at the intimate actions of the men and women, Liu Ruo Qing's eyes unwittingly revealed traces of envy.

She turned her gaze towards Yan Yuan, who was beside her, and saw that he was accompanying young son in buying lanterns. The lanterns hung at the side, and the candlelight from the lanterns shone through the thin layer of oil paper, landing on Yan Yuan's perfect side face, causing the originally cold lines of his face to soften, and his cold personality to also become much more gentle at this moment.

Liu Ruo Qing secretly looked at him, and as she did so, the corner of her mouth rose uncontrollably into a smile.

However, what she did not know was that although Yan Yuan was currently accompanying her son to pick out the flower lanterns, he could see from the corner of his eyes that she was doing it. As she peeked at him, the smile on her face made Yan Yuan's heart turn happy.

Her lips pursed up into a smile, and before Liu Ruo Qing could look away, it seemed as if he was trying to tease her, he suddenly turned and looked at her.

As expected, Liu Ruo Qing didn't expect him to turn her head at this time. The fluster on his face that looked like she had been caught red-handed, allowed Yan Yuan to take a good look.

Restraining the smile in his eyes, he waved at her and said, "Come here."

Keeping the distress on her face, she hurriedly walked forward and stood next to Yan Yuan.

"Take it."

Yan Yuan handed over an unlit lotus lamp to her and said: "This is a custom of our Easternum, have you heard of it?"

Liu Ruo Qing lowered her head, staring at the lotus lamp that Yan Yuan had passed to her in a daze. Of course she knew about this custom, she wrote down the name of her lover.

However …

She looked up at Yan Yuan. Between her and him, would they still be able to live together forever?

Looking at Yan Yuan's head full of stinging silver threads, his eyes suddenly filled with pain.

"Small... This little one has heard of it. "

Her voice was very low, she didn't want Yan Yuan to hear the sobs in her tone.

"Didn't you tell me today that you have a lover? Write his name and put it in the river. If fate wills it, he will find it. "

Liu Ruoqing looked up with astonishment at Yan Yuan's serious appearance. It was hard to imagine that such a haughty man would condescend to discuss such matters with a mere guard and even take the matter of him to heart.

The lotus lamp in her hands caused Liu Ruo Qing's fingers to tighten slightly. When she met Yan Yuan's curious gaze, she smiled and nodded.

He borrowed a pen and ink from the vendor and wrote down Yan Yuan's name in a place that Yan Yuan couldn't see. Then, he was afraid Yan Yuan would come over and look, so he quickly said: "This little one will go to the river and light the lamp."

Yan Yuan nodded, "Go, be careful."

At this moment, there were a lot of people by the river. When Liu Ruo Qing went to put out the light, she was not at ease, her gaze was focused on her back view. She had lost all her martial arts, and could not even beat a young man without any martial arts.

Seeing her squatting by the river and carefully putting down the lamp, one could tell how much she loved the person whose name was written on the lamp.

Yan Yuan looked at her, his thin lips curled up slightly, his eyes unable to conceal his spoilt look.
