Chapter 45： Kongming lantern

Chapter 45 Kongming Lantern

Hongming lanterns are similar to river lanterns. In the early years, they were used for sacrificial purposes.

Slowly it evolved into praying for blessings and fulfilling wishes.

Doctor Liu smiled and inquired for a while before he found out that an old lady from a wealthy household in the city was seriously ill today. In order to pray for blessings, the wealthy household organized the servants of the household to set off Kongming lanterns outside the city.

At this time, people poured in on the street to watch the lanterns.

After all, the sight of dozens or hundreds of Kongming lanterns rising into the sky is quite spectacular.

When Feng Xuanrui heard this, he had to go outside the city to see it. He immediately jumped up and said, "We want to see it, we want to see it!"

Suisui didn't understand much, but she believed in her brother, so she quickly jumped up and said, "Brother is right!"

Doctor Liu was amused by the two children, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Prince Qing.

King Qing:?

It’s up to me to agree or reject the co-authorship?

If you refuse in the end, will I be the bad guy?

The eyes of the two children, following Doctor Liu's movements, had already fallen on Prince Qing.

Two pairs of eyes full of expectation and shining brightly looked at him. Prince Qing did not feel any pressure, only helplessness.

so many people…

It would be really troublesome if I were kidnapped again.

However, he couldn't bear to let his two children down.

After all, this poor child, Sui Sui, rarely had the courage to express what he was thinking.

If she refuses, I don’t know next time whether she dares to say it.

Thinking of this, King Qing nodded: "Be careful, don't get lost, follow the master, don't rush forward by yourself!"

Being deceived and abducted happened just a few days ago, but the two children still remember it.

So, everyone nodded obediently at this time.

This time, Prince Qing and the others also protected the two children more carefully.

Except for the injured entourage, who stayed at the inn to rest, everyone else took to the streets.

There are a lot of people in this town. Wenzhou has a superior geographical environment and fertile land, so the overall economy is good.

You can see some of it from the bright street scenes in the town at night.

It’s crowded and lively, but it’s also full of unknown dangers.

Following the last experience, Dr. Liu's eyes didn't even care to look at anything else, but kept staring at the two children.

Although it was not set up as a river lantern, it was not seen as a lively event.

But, they can go see the Kongming Lanterns!

Furthermore, compared to the river lantern, this one is relatively friendly to Suisui.

Because you can see it by looking up, there is no need to push forward.

When they arrived outside the city, many sky lanterns had already been released.

Watching the lanterns flying up into the sky, Sui Sui raised his head and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, brother, there is another one!"

“Brother, here we come again, here we come again!”

“Brother, that one is going up too!”

…

Sui Sui called "brother" again and again, coaxing Feng Xuanrui into confusion.

He kept nodding his head: "Sister, don't make a fuss. When we get back to the capital, my brother will let someone put on a special show for you."

“This lamp is just mediocre, and cannot compare with the craftsmanship of the old craftsmen in the capital.”

…

The conversation between the two children made people want to laugh but they were afraid that they would be annoyed if they really laughed.

Sui Sui is fine, but she understands little and is still timid. Even if she laughs, she may not understand.

But Feng Xuanrui, the little overlord, is quite glass-hearted.

So, they should be patient and don't irritate him. At the beginning of the year, I was still amazed by the beauty and splendor of the Kongming Lantern.

As she looked at it, she thought of what Feng Xuanrui had explained to her before about what the Kongming Lantern was and why it was necessary to put it up.

Suisui thought: Although she didn’t put the Kongming Lantern up, since it is a blessing lantern, it doesn’t matter if she rubs it, right?

Because I was not sure and I didn’t dare to ask others, I could only ask the system quietly.

Lele, let me rub it in and pray for you, is that okay? 】

The system responded quickly.

【It's okay, it was originally released outside the city just for everyone to pray together. 】

【Every year you just need to pray for yourself and those around you, and at the same time say: May the old lady be safe! 】

Although Suisui didn't understand it clearly, what Lele said was definitely right.

So Suisui raised his head, looked at the Kongming lanterns slowly rising into the sky and disappeared, and prayed in a low voice: "May my brother be safe, may Grandpa Liu be safe, may Uncle Qing Wang be safe...may the old lady be safe."

There are no complicated blessing words for every year.

Peace, for her, is the greatest and best blessing.

So, she used the same words for everyone.

Feng Xuanrui didn't hear it at first, but later he felt that his sister must be talking about something, so he couldn't help but turned sideways and listened with open ears.

At that time, Suisui had already named Dijiao.

Feng Xuanrui listened for a long time, and at the end even the unknown old lady received a blessing.

Why is he the only one?

This made him feel lost and uncomfortable.

Feng Xuanrui shook Suisui's hand and asked aggrievedly: "Sister, what about me? Why aren't you here without me?"

Sui Sui has just finished reading a long list of names, and his mind is still a little confused.

Hearing her brother ask, she said in confusion: "Huh?"

Facing his brother’s eyes full of tears, Suisui took a moment to react and finally understood: “The first person I pray to is my brother!”

After finishing speaking, Suisui pursed her lips shyly and hesitated before asking: "Brother, is it right for me to do this?"

Hearing that he was the first person his sister prayed for, the tears in Feng Xuanrui's eyes fell instantly.

Before, it was because I felt wronged that I had tears in my eyes.

The reason I fell down now was because I was moved.

Sure enough, my sister is the best!

He likes his sister the most!

Feng Xuanrui was both happy and moved.

He couldn't help but pulled Suisui over and hugged her tightly: "Yes, yes, whatever my sister does is right."

After speaking, he was afraid that Suisui would not come in this order next time. Feng Xuanrui quickly said: "It is right to put my brother first. Sister, you are so kind. My brother likes Suisui the most!"

To be honest, Feng Xuanrui's hug was a little tight, and he was a little breathless from being strangled.

However, she still felt that her brother's embrace was warm and reassuring.

Sui Sui did not struggle, but was held by Feng Xuanrui very obediently. His voice was muffled, but his words were very clear: "Sui Sui also likes my brother the most."

After finishing speaking, Suisui felt that what she said seemed not sincere enough, so she quickly added: "I only like my brother."

After listening to this, Feng Xuanrui was so moved that he almost cried again.

As a young prince in the royal palace, many people used to pray for him and copy scriptures for him.

However, Feng Xuanrui felt that what moved him the most was his sister.

Perhaps deep in the heart of the child, it is not just because of this simple prayer, but also because of the time when he was trapped in the woodshed. When danger came, the years were difficult but he was still firmly in front of him. , the actions and determination to block all harm for him.
