The willow leaves are slowly

"Sister, please buy me a bag of candy, it's delicious!" The little girl had a round bun and her face was red from the cold, she was very cute.

Liu Qingyin smiled and touched her head and said, "Okay, pick a bag for me."

The little girl picked up a bag of candy, put it in her hand, and skipped away.

At the lantern festival, men and women walked together, some solving lantern riddles, some performing acrobatics, some telling stories and singing songs. It was very lively.

"Miss, would you like to have your portrait painted? I can paint very quickly and it won't take up too much of your time." A man dressed as a scholar came over and asked.

Originally Liu Qingyin wanted to refuse, but when she saw the portraits on his stall, they were all so delicate and beautiful.

"Can a drawing of this level be completed so quickly?" Liu Qingyin asked in amazement.

"Yes, girl, try it. If you are not satisfied, I don't need to charge you."

"Okay." Liu Qingyin sat down.

The scholar began to paint, praising Liu Qingyin for her good looks while he was painting. He had been painting all day and had painted many girls. Liu Qingyin was one of the few with good proportions of facial features.

As she looked at the scholar painting, she thought of Ye Hansheng drawing at his desk, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.

"Girl, take a look. Are you satisfied?"

Taking the drawing paper from the scholar, she saw herself on the paper. The drawing was so beautiful and exquisite that she nodded slightly.

"Miss, today is the Yu Lan Lantern Festival. I will give you one drawing for free. If you have someone you like, you can describe his facial features and I will draw for you!"

Liu Qingyin put a candy in her mouth, and the citrus aroma filled the air instantly. The little girl was right, this candy was really delicious, just like the candy Ye Hansheng gave her.

She unconsciously described the candy with citrus aroma: "His black hair is like a waterfall, his facial features are strong and distinct, his eyes are like stars and swords, his eyes are deep, there are stars and sea in his eyes, his nose is high, his lips are slightly pursed, and he always has a smile on his face. He is gentle, warm and gentle..."

The sugar in my mouth melted away, but the aroma of citrus lingered for a long time. I heard the scholar say, "The man you love is finished!"

She came back to her senses and looked at the drawing paper. Ye Hansheng's image was presented very vividly in front of her. At this moment, she panicked, put down the silver and ran away quickly.

"Girl, girl, your painting!" the scholar shouted from behind.

Liu Qingyin stopped and gasped for breath, the sweet scent of citrus lingering between her lips and teeth.

"The one I like? The one I like? The one I like is Ye Hansheng!"

With every breath, her mind was filled with Ye Hansheng's image and the portrait that the scholar showed her at the end.

At this time, a mother said to her child sitting on the ground: "What's the point of running away? This game is about grabbing. Whoever grabs it first gets it!"

"Don't run away. Stand up and run back to grab it! If you grab it, it's yours!"

"Go, grab it!" The mother cheered her child up and shouted, "Grab it!"

"Yes! Grab it! Grab it!" Liu Qingyin seemed to be greatly encouraged. She took a candy from the bag and put it in her mouth!

"Grab!" She ran towards the Shadow Pavilion desperately!

………………

Pushing open the door of Shadow Pavilion, the pavilion was unusually quiet. Liu Qingyin panted and looked around. She couldn't find it in Moying Garden, the front hall, the corridor, or Shadow Prison...

"Miss Liu, are you looking for the young master? The young master is in the martial arts field!" said a patrolling shadow guard.

"Okay, thank you!"

She ran to the martial arts arena out of breath and saw a lone figure holding a lantern. The dim candlelight illuminated his back...

She ran over and stood behind him, panting, "Ye Hansheng!"

Ye Hansheng turned around gently, looked down at Liu Qingyin, whose breathing was uneven, without saying a word.

Slowed down for a moment.

“Ye Hansheng, don’t marry Su Xueyan, don’t eat the food she cooks, don’t look at her so gently, don’t understand her so well, don’t…” Liu Qingyin tried her best to calm her breath.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky and lanterns were lit up on the training ground.

Looking at Liu Qingyin's rosy face, the ice and snow on Ye Hansheng's face gradually melted. He gently tidied up her hair and said softly, "Okay!"

Ye Hansheng's eyes were bright, and there was an indelible tenderness in them.

Liu Qingyin looked into his eyes, tilted her head back and smiled widely.

"Ayin, I have nothing but a lot on my shoulders. I once thought that I would never have love in this life, until I met you. When I first saw you, you were like a puffy little monkey, hiding behind the rockery, and I couldn't help but want to find out what was going on.

Later, when I was in danger, you rushed forward to save me without hesitation. I spent the happiest time of my life in Liujiazhuang.

Every day with you is so happy and fulfilling. I can’t imagine how I would get by without you.

"When I meet a beautiful woman, I will never forget her. I will miss her deeply and think about her like crazy."

Liu Qingyin threw herself into his arms, leaned close to his chest, and whispered, "I love you, but you don't know it."

Ye Hansheng hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "I know!"

"Ayin, from now on, you and I will grow old together and never be separated!"

Snowflakes are flying all over the sky.

Liu Qingyin hugged him, looked up, and said with a smile: "We have grown old together, look! Hahaha!"

She pointed at her own head, then at Ye Hansheng's head, and light snowflakes covered the heads of both of them.

"Hahahaha." Both of them laughed.

"I got it!!!" Liu Qingyin shouted loudly, and she waved Ye Hansheng's hand in the air.

"What did you get?" Ye Han asked puzzledly.

Liu Qingyin stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck, closed her eyes, and gently kissed his lips.

After a moment, she looked into his bright eyes and said softly, "I got you!"

Ye Hansheng put his arms around her slender waist, clasped her head with his big, bony hands, leaned over, kissed her lips passionately, gently pried open her lips and teeth, and conquered her to his heart's content.

The scent of citrus flowed between her lips and teeth until Liu Qingyin's cheeks flushed and her breathing became uneven. Ye Hansheng finally let her go. His warm breath blew in her ears, and she heard him whisper, "So sweet!"

Liu Qingyin lowered her head shyly, and the blush on her face became even deeper...

The two of them left the training ground hand in hand!

"What are you doing alone in the martial arts arena? You're not even wearing a cloak. Are you cold?" Liu Qingyin said with concern.

"waiting for you."

"How did you know I would come back?"

“I released a big sky lantern and made a wish!”

"Is this okay?!"

"Of course!" he said, holding her hand tightly.

"I don't accept three wives and four concubines. Don't even think about it. You can only have me."

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious!"

"Of course, you alone are enough."

"I will not accept a mistress!"

"What is a mistress?" Ye Han asked in confusion.

"That's... that's a mistress! I'm very petty, you have to abide by the male ethics!"

"As you command! Madam!"

"Who, who is your wife!"

"Of course it's you, you just said there can't be anyone else!"

"You can't yell now, you have no shame!"

"I'll be calling you that sooner or later!"

"Ahem! I'm hungry. I haven't eaten yet!"

"What do you want to eat?" Ye Hansheng asked, touching her head.

"Let's go to the Lantern Festival. It's very lively and there are lots of delicious food." Liu Qingyin took his arm, her eyes sparkling.

"Oh? Didn't Mo Chen treat you to a meal?"

"Don't be so sarcastic, isn't that all your fault? If you hadn't done that, I definitely wouldn't have gone with him. I haven't even asked you yet, are you going to marry your cousin?!"

"No, I've already told her that. She's going back tomorrow."

"What did you say?" Liu Qingyin asked with a pout.

"Tell me first, what did you and Mo Chen do?"

"What else could we do? We went shopping together. I was in a very bad mood and didn't even say a few words to him. Then I really didn't want to go shopping with him. Fortunately, the prince asked him to go back, so we said goodbye."

"Why are you in a bad mood?" Ye Hansheng asked innocently.

Liu Qingyin's eyes widened and she pinched him: "You ask even though you already know the answer! How can I be in a good mood when you are about to marry someone else?!"

"Oh, you are murdering your husband!" Ye Hansheng pretended to be in pain.

Liu Qingyin panicked when she saw his appearance. She supported Ye Hansheng, looked at her hand, and said, "Are you okay? I didn't use any force. Have you been practicing martial arts so hard recently?"

Ye Hansheng looked at her deceived expression and laughed.

"Wow, Ye Hansheng, you're such a good actor, why don't you join a troupe to sing?"

The Ullambana Lantern Festival was very lively. The two went to the river together to release river lanterns, and then to release sky lanterns. The sky full of sky lanterns slowly rose and floated slowly into the sky.

The sky lanterns carry a lot of blessings, flying higher and higher until they reach the end of the sky...

On the sky lantern of Ye Hansheng and Liu Qingyin was written: "I wish to win the heart of one person and stay with him till we grow old together."

Late at night, in a dark street corner.

"You've performed very well today. Here is your reward! Just shut your mouth!" The masked man took out a stack of silver bills.

"Of course, you can come to me for storytelling next time." The storyteller took one.

"Thank you, sir. I performed well, didn't I?" The old woman selling hairpins smiled with wrinkles all over her face.

"If you need painting in the future, you can come to me again. Let's go, sister." The scholar took the silver note and took the little girl who was buying candy away.

"Don't worry, we will keep our mouths shut!" The mother, who encouraged her son to run back and grab the money, took the last banknote with a smile.

The masked man dodged away.

Ink Shadow Garden.

"Sir, it's all done!" Zhuiying reported quietly.

Ye Hansheng's voice was as cold as ice. He nodded slightly and retreated in a flash.

Looking at the hairpin in the wooden box, Ye Hansheng gently turned it over. There were two words engraved on the back of the hairpin: "Willow Leaf".

"Ye Hansheng, I got it!" In the back room, Liu Qingyin turned over on the soft couch with a sweet smile on her face...
