Chapter 29 The Imperial Concubine’s Favor 13
Chu Lingruo stayed in the Chu Mansion for a few days and felt a little bored, so she put on some light clothes, took Jiang Yi with her, and went to the street.
The street was bustling with people coming and going. Chu Lingruo looked at the vendor selling candied haws. The candied haws tied to straw were bright red and covered with sugar, giving off an attractive color.
"How much are the candied haws?" Chu Lingruo asked.
"Miss, two cents a string." The vendor selling candied haws looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and replied.
After handing two cents to the vendor, Chu Lingruo took a string of candied haws and took a bite of the hawthorn, which tasted sour and sweet.
"Jiang Yi, you try it too." The candied haws was handed to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi glanced at Chu Lingruo and took a bite helplessly.
"It's delicious." Jiang Yi smiled.
After strolling on the street for a while, Chu Lingruo returned to the Chu Mansion.
She had stayed in the Chu Mansion for a long time and didn't want to go back to the palace. Alas, after the matter was accomplished, she would have to endure for a while before she could be free.
There are still several days before the Lantern Festival, but the city is already full of colorful lanterns. One can imagine how lively the Lantern Festival will be.
Tonight, Chu Lingruo waved away the servants and sat in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky with the stars dotted around it.
"You're here." Chu Lingruo spoke, but continued to look at the bright moon in the sky.
Ever since that kiss, Mu Yuanjing never came to see her at night again, and Chu Lingruo missed him a little.
"Would the Imperial Concubine be willing to go with me to the Lantern Festival in a few days?" Mu Yuanjing was tall and slender. Today, he was wearing a dark robe with a waist belt with moon-white cloud pattern. He was leaning lazily against the window.
"I'll think about it. Uncle, please go back." Chu Lingruo emphasized the word 'I' on purpose.' She was obviously a little unhappy that Mu Yuanjing still called her the Imperial Concubine.
Mu Yuanjing, the goofball, looked at Chu Lingruo's indifferent expression and felt a little flustered. He felt that Chu Lingruo seemed angry.
He had a feeling that if he left now, Chu Lingruo would definitely ignore him.
He placed his slender hand on the window to stop Chu Lingruo from closing it. "I miss you so much, can you let me see you for a little longer?" Mu Yuanjing looked at Chu Lingruo aggrievedly.
Chu Lingruo, Chu Lingruo was really soft-hearted, it was because that handsome face was too unfair.
But she still spoke, "We just met a few days ago."
"It feels like three years have passed since we last met. We haven't seen each other for several days, and it's been many, many years." Mu Yuanjing looked at her with his affectionate eyes.
Chu Lingruo finally let him stay and accompany her for a while longer.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Or should I just let him go? Chu Lingruo thought.
"Please accompany me to the Lantern Festival, Your Majesty." Mu Yuanjing took Chu Lingruo's hand and looked at him pleadingly, as if he would be very sad if she didn't agree.
"Your royal concubine is in the palace, so we won't go." Chu Lingruo pulled her hand away and said indifferently.
"Ruo'er, just come with me." No matter how stupid Mu Yuanjing was, he realized what Chu Lingruo was angry about just now.
The two chatted for a while, and Chu Lingruo finally pretended to agree reluctantly, which made Mu Yuanjing very happy.
In fact, there was a reason why Mu Yuanjing was so concerned about going out with Chu Lingruo at the Lantern Festival.
There was a tradition in the Wei State that on the night of the Lantern Festival, men and women who loved each other would pray together under the acacia tree and light love lanterns on the Luo River together, and then the couple would be together for a long time and grow old together.
Mu Yuanjing had never been interested in such things before. He was not interested in women, and he had never married or taken concubines. He had been alone for so many years.
In previous years, he had seen his subordinates and their wives by the Luo River, and saw them put the Long Love Lantern into the Long Love River together.
He thought he would never do such a thing in his life, but he met Chu Lingruo, the woman who made him infatuated.
Even if she was the emperor's concubine, so what? Whatever he wanted, he had to get.
When he thought that Emperor Mu Hexuan could stand beside Chu Lingruo openly, he felt a little jealous and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but if Chu Lingruo didn't want to, he would not force her to be with him.
He wanted to be with Chu Lingruo forever.
He wanted to go to Luoshui River to light the Long Love Lantern with Chu Lingruo, and he only wanted to be with her.
Chu Lingruo certainly didn't know Mu Hexuan's plan. Before that, the original owner and Mu Hexuan, who was just a prince but had not yet become emperor, had also gone to the Lantern Festival.
However, when the original owner and Mu Hexuan put the Long Love Lamp into the river, something unexpected happened and a gust of wind blew out the Long Love Lamp.
Later, the original owner and Mu Hexuan tried again, but this time, although there was no wind, it started to rain and the lights went out.
Perhaps the original owner and Mu Hexuan were wrong from the very beginning.
It was the Lantern Festival.
The shops along the street had already lit up their dim lights, colorful lanterns were hung along the long street, people were walking about on the street, vendors had put out colorful lanterns, and there were also jugglers performing acrobatics.
Chu Lingruo and Mu Yuanjing were walking on the street together. Chu Lingruo was wearing a fox mask on her face. After all, she still had to cover her face.
Mu Hexuan also accompanied her in wearing masks. Even though the masks covered their faces, judging from their body shapes, they could be described as a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Looking at the lanterns sold by street vendors, there was a delicate and small snow-white rabbit lantern. Chu Lingruo only took a look at it, and Mu Yuanjing bought it, placing a large ingot of silver on the vendor's stall, "No need to change."
The lantern vendor was overjoyed when he saw the silver ingot. This silver was enough to buy all his lanterns. He had met a big customer tonight.
Holding the rabbit lantern, Chu Lingruo looked around and saw the candied haws. After buying a string, she took a bite and then put it to Mu Yuanjing's lips with evil intentions, "Do you want to try it?"
Who knew that Mu Yuanjing would bite the spot where she had bitten, "Mm, sweet."
Originally, she just wanted to tease him, but she didn't expect Mu Yuanjing to actually eat it. Now it was Chu Lingruo's turn to blush.
"Let's go." Mu Yuanjing took her hand and led her to the acacia tree. "This is the acacia tree."
"I know. I came here when I was still in the Chu Mansion." He was referring to the time when Chu Lingruo had not yet entered the palace.
Not knowing what she was thinking about, Chu Lingruo shut up. What she just said was the original owner's memory, and she had not been here yet.
"Well, let's pray first." Chu Lingruo glanced at Mu Yuanjing, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any other reaction to this matter, she secretly felt relieved.
The two prayed together under the acacia tree.
Not far away is the Luoshui River, with countless river lanterns flickering on the river. You can vaguely see notes placed next to the wicks. These lanterns carry the wishes of men and women.
Chu Lingruo and Mu Yuanjing went to the Luoshui River, but unexpectedly they saw two familiar figures.
Mu Hexuan and Liu Luoyao also came out of the palace.
