Last night, when Shangjing City was having a light gathering, midnight had just arrived after the sun had set.
Since there were no customers, Zi Ye could only carefully search the shops one by one. He searched through the corners of every corner of every street.
In the cold night of the Grand Moon, Zi Ye searched for an hour and a half. After his head was covered in sweat, Zi Ye finally found Ju Xiang at a hawker selling lanterns.
Ju Xiang was happily admiring the lanterns one by one.
Ju Xiang was an old Elementary Scholar's daughter after all, and had read a lot of books. Looking at the lines and poems on the lamps, he couldn't help but read them one by one.
Zi Ye foolishly looked at Ju Xiang who was reading a poem from afar. The more she looked, the better she looked. No one knew what they were thinking, but Zi Ye seemed to have mustered up his courage and quickly ran in front of Ju Xiang.
In the past few days, Zi Ye, who could glibly ridicule the Prince Zhan, seemed to have been replaced as he could not say a single word as if his mouth was tied.
"Ju Xiang, I …"
"What are you saying?"
"I... "I …" In the end, Zi Ye did not say a complete confession, but his hands very quickly pulled away the lantern in Ju Xiang's hand and passed the personally made lantern into Ju Xiang's hands.
In an instant, Zi Ye used his movement technique and ran far away.
Ju Xiang didn't know how to react at all, and looked down at the lantern in his hand in astonishment. Two lines of words were written crookedly on the top most lamp.
There were beauties who would never forget them. They would not see each other for a day, and their thoughts would go wild.
Ju Xiang repeatedly looked at the words on the lamp, and then read it out softly.
"Miss, this Young Master must like you." When Ju Xiang's mind was in a mess, the owner of the lanterns stall warned him at the right time.
"You like me?" Ju Xiang's mosquito-like voice continued to stare at the surface of the fan as he mumbled.
"That's right, young lady. It seems like you are also here with a lantern. I believe you must know the traditions of our Shangjing City's New Year's Festival, so the lantern that young master passed to you was personally made."
Listening to the boss's words, Ju Xiang was a little shy and instantly blushed.
Last night, Zi Ye made a ruckus at the lantern festival, how could he still have the guts to step into the main entrance of the Assistant Minister’s Residence?
The butler, Uncle Wang, very politely led Zi Ye to Nangong Waner's courtyard. It just happened that Ju Xiang had matters to attend to and came out of his room. Ju Xiang... "
"Big Brother Ye? What's the matter? " Zi Ye was also a thick-hearted person, to the point where he didn't realize that Ju Xiang's cheeks had a very obvious blush when he spoke.
"Mm …" "Right." Since she was too reserved and stood in front of Ju Xiang, her body still kept swaying. She looked left and right, but she just couldn't bring herself to look at Ju Xiang.
Zi Ye was also looking around randomly. Just as he was looking around, he suddenly discovered a lamp that Ju Xiang was familiar with hanging under the eaves of the house in the side courtyard.
Wasn't that the lantern that he had been drawing for several hours!
Zi Ye was wild with joy, Ju Xiang, she … Do you like me, too?
She quickly took out a letter from her bosom and handed it over to Ju Xiang. "Your young miss has been staying in the Prince's Mansion for a few days, the Prince has asked you to take care of the mansion first. I'll come look for you another time."
After saying that, she was also a bit embarrassed. She didn't know how to deal with this kind of situation, so she ran away like the wind.
"Wh …" "What?!" Ju Xiang anxiously stomped her feet. She indeed realised that Miss Liu was not in her room, and she thought that she was following Miss Liu to the Liu Manor.
Ju Xiang was so anxious, what if the old master and his wife find out? After all, Miss is still a young lady who has yet to leave the pavilion … Ju Xiang was really worried for Nangong Waner.
It was just that, the facts proved that Ju Xiang was worrying too much about it. Everyone in Assistant Minister’s Residence knew that the First Miss feared the cold and the entire winter was like a dumpling lying on her bed with her corpse wrapped up.
In the past few days, other than sending a few dishes to Nangong Waner's courtyard to express their concern, Ju Xiang thought that the Assistant Minister couple had forgotten about the existence of their biological daughter.
"The lord and wife are truly ambitious. The daughter who has yet to leave the pavilion has already stayed in the manor for several days, yet she did not discover anything." Ju Xiang started to admire the Assistant Minister couple a little.
However, this was something to be said later.
Furthermore, on that day, Nangong Waner originally slept until late in the morning, but after being tormented by Chu Xiuhan, he once again slept until late in the evening, exhausted. When Nangong Waner woke up, Prince Zhan was sitting on the bed and looking at her with a naughty smile.
Nangong Waner was a little anxious, he turned his arm and was about to beat her up, but he realized that he was completely powerless, and that his arm was not able to do anything, "Chu — — xiu!"
"This King is here." The Prince Zhan very amiably helped Nangong Waner up.
After sitting up, Nangong Waner realized that he was wearing a set of clothes that he had never seen before, but it fit very well. Nangong Waner pointed to the clothes on his body, and asked the Prince Zhan.
"Of course it's your clothes."
"My clothes? Why have I not seen you before, and why did you go to the Assistant Minister’s Residence to get me clothes? "
The Prince Zhan laughed and did not say a word. He walked straight to the cabinet by the side of the bed and slowly extended a pair of long hands to open the cabinet's door.
"Here, your clothes." Prince Zhan pointed to the clothes in the cupboard and lightly said.
Nangong Waner, who was originally a little doubtful, became extremely shocked and moved when he saw the clothes inside the cupboard.
The cabinet was filled with all kinds of clothes, all of them were made with good quality materials, they were stacked very neatly in place, Nangong Waner had never seen such a formation, he was almost blinded by the clothes on the cabinet.
"You, when did you buy it?" After all, Nangong Waner was a money grubber. When he saw the clothes on the shelf, he was overjoyed.
"Before I left for the borderlands, you promised to wait for me here. I had prepared to stay in your residence, but I didn't expect to hear the news of you and Xiao Ze's arranged marriage. I was naturally unwilling to burn these clothes, and hoped that there would be a day when I would be able to wear them one by one for you."
Nangong Waner was moved by Prince Zhan's words, she stretched out her hand wanting to pull Chu Xiuhan back, "What is this?" Nangong Waner suddenly raised his hand, and unexpectedly discovered that she was wearing an extremely transparent white jade bracelet on her wrist.
Nangong Waner took a closer look, the bracelet had white body temperature, there was no impurities at all.
I originally wanted to give it to you as a gift when I returned, but due to various unforeseen events, I planned to make it for you as a New Year gift. Who knew that you drank too much and after forcefully kissing this duke, you fell asleep, so you didn't have the time to send it out. Prince Zhan looked at Nangong Waner and said with a mischievous smile.
