Reborn! The terminally ill prince has taken a fancy to me again

Chapter 23 Who are you going to give this lily?

"Shopkeeper, don't you have a better answer for the big festival?"

The shopkeeper seemed a little frustrated, how could he not know that he would say some auspicious words to bring good luck during the festival, but he also needed permission...

Muttering in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he turned around and opened the wooden drawer, took out a crystal lotus lamp and quickly put it in Hua Zuili's hands, "What the girl said is very true, the answer to this mystery is from our small shop. Negligence, to express my apology, this lotus lantern is given to the girl."

The bright red crystal lotus lamp is bright and beautiful, layers of petals are blooming, and the core is lit with a light yellow candle.This lotus lantern is exquisite in workmanship, and it is quite different from the other lotus lanterns hanging on the wall.

"Such a beautiful lotus lantern, the shop has spent a lot of money."

"Wherever it is, as long as the girl likes it."

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that he had finally completed the tasks assigned above, and he could do business with peace of mind.

"Since the two of you have found the lotus lantern you like, the shop won't keep it. Please, please, please, please."

As if afraid of their repentance, the shopkeeper dragged Hua Zuili and Xue Sheng, who were holding the lotus lantern, to 'invite' them out of the door.

Hua Zuili and Xue Sheng were confused by the shopkeeper's enthusiasm. As soon as they stepped out of the gate, the door behind them closed with a 'bang'.

They looked at each other.

"Let's go, I'll take you to release the lotus lantern."

The breeze is blowing, sparkling.Girls praying for marriage had already gathered by the river, and next to them, there were handsome men and pretty women who promised each other for life under the bodhi tree. Xue Sheng looked at the lilies in their hands, his eyes flashed.

"Xiaoli, you wait here for me first, I will go back when I think of something."

"Brother Xue?"

"You must wait for me!" He left his confused face, turned around and ran into the crowd...

And on the other side of the street.

"Grand...Miss, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Why, isn't it time for the night ban?" The girl in the pale pink hibiscus and warm gauze dress wore a double bun, and the two strands of broken bells hanging from her black hair rang slightly with her steps.

She turned the candied haws in her hand, looked up and down with a look of disgust and curiosity, stuck out her tongue and licked the candy, "I didn't expect this group of untouchables to make something that can still be eaten, it's not in vain Miss Ben bought it and tasted it."

"Miss, let's go back... Her Royal Highness will be angry if it is later."

"What are you afraid of? Aunt Huang won't punish me."

Mei Ruoyue didn't care, but Pan'er behind her was red-eyed. The Fifth Highness is the favorite of Princess Changning. He has a sharp heart and has never been reprimanded. Your Highness, it is still light to kill with a stick.

Ruo'er remembered that a sister beside her was broken by the eldest princess and thrown into the lowest brothel because the Fifth Highness was greedy for eating an extra ice cream and didn't stop her, making people play to death... But now, she is Staying away at night with His Royal Highness...

Seeing the pink and tender figure constantly shuttling through the crowd, Ruo'er's face was ashen. She wanted to continue persuading Mei Ruoyue, but someone bumped into the Fifth Highness severely.

The steps of the curved bridge on the left side of the Changhe River were extremely densely distributed, and they were walking from top to bottom again, and being hit so hard, Mei Ruoyue staggered and fell to the ground.

"Who! Dare to bump into Miss Ben and die!"

No one paid any attention to her, instead she gave way with strange eyes.

"Miss, are you alright?!"

"What do you say!"

Pan'er showed a terrified expression, and hurried forward to check, but was slapped away by Mei Ruoyue.There was a big swelling on her slender and tender ankle, and Mei Ruoyue's eyes were filled with tears, she yelled in pain, "What are you still doing, hurry up and find a way for Miss Ben!"

"Yes, yes, this servant is going to buy medicine!" Pan'er hurried out.

Mei Ruoyue stared angrily at the bulge with her left foot sideways, touched her fingertips, and the pain made her tremble, "These untouchables, when I go back, I will let the imperial aunt kill you all, I am so angry!"

With a wave of his right arm, the candied haws in his hand were instantly thrown off the bridge.

"Girl, what's the matter with you?"

A gentle and soft voice sounded from above her head, and Mei Ruoyue said angrily: "It's none of your business..."

Her voice stopped abruptly, and the man in front of her was in plain green clothes and with light eyebrows, but in the flickering lights, there was a bit of gentleness like a gurgling stream.

Xue Sheng just bought two lilies from the flower girl. He passed the curved bridge on the river, and saw a pretty girl in a pink skirt kneeling by the bridge and losing her temper. He felt pity and wanted to come over and ask Second, let's see if I can help, who knows that the girl only spoke half of her words, and then stared straight at him.

"Girl, are you okay?"

"Ah? I..." Mei Ruoyue shifted her gaze, her pretty face covered by her black hair was gradually smudged red, "I sprained my ankle, and it hurts so badly."

Xue Sheng turned his head and saw a bump on her slightly slanted left ankle, "Girl, I'm offended."

He took out a patched veil from his arms and put it on Mei Ruoyue's left ankle. With the cloth strip between his hands, he rubbed it slightly, "The ankle is sprained, don't walk around at will, first rub it to activate the blood, and then gently rub it." Push."

"Ah!" Mei Ruoyue exclaimed.

"Miss, move around a bit and see if it's better than before."

"It seems...it's really better."

Mei Ruoyue touched her ankle, the swelling didn't go away, but the pain was much less than before, "You are quite capable."

"Young lady, I just massage my mother from time to time, practice makes perfect."

"Still a filial son."

Under the lights, the man in the green shirt was smiling, as gentle as the clear and misty moon in the sky, Mei Ruoyue felt her cheeks getting hotter, her eyes turned, and she saw the pure lily in his embrace.

"This is your lily, show me."

"Hey girl!"

Mei Ruoyue took it very quickly, before Xue Sheng could react, she had already taken the lily from her bosom.

Mei Ruoyue sniffed it under her nose, "It's quite fragrant, give it to me."

"How is this possible!"

"Why is this not possible." Mei Ruoyue looked at the lily in her hand, raised her eyebrows and glanced at him lightly, "Then tell me, who do you want to give this lily to?"

"Give it to..." Xue Sheng blurted out, but for some reason, when he met the girl's bright eyes, he swallowed the "loved person" in the words.

He lowered his head, "No one..."

"That's it." Mei Ruoyue's eyes were filled with complacency and joy, and she stretched out her hand to push Xue Sheng, who was somewhat depressed, "Okay, don't be sad, isn't it just two lilies, this... miss It's your money."

She reached out to touch her waist and found that the Hetian jade pendant she had been wearing was gone.It must have been stolen when it was hit just now.

Cursing in a low voice, 'cheesy slave', she casually took a hairpin from her bun and threw it at him, "Here, the debt has been paid off."

"You know, this hairpin can hold up to thousands of lilies of yours."
