After this incident, everyone in the He family understood that Mo Jinghong intended to let Wen Qingcheng replace Lu Qiuyu. Those who were used to observing people's words and expressions were all respectful to Wen Qingcheng. Originally, Wen Qingcheng was a marginalized person in the He family. As long as she appeared, others would keep silent. The He family's strongest silent king suddenly became a popular person, which made Wen Qingcheng a little uncomfortable for a while.

In the next few days, He's company was in a state of busyness. Mr. He gave all the people who stayed a raise and a large bonus. The entire He's company was full of energy. Although half of the people were gone, the efficiency was higher.

"Cheng'er."

Wen Qingcheng was drawing an instrument blueprint in the room, planning to design an instrument that could be used to make quick-acting heart-saving pills at He's. When she saw Mo Jinghong coming, she quickly put down the pen in her hand and went to greet him.

"Why are you here? Everything is fine at the He family now. Why don't you stay at home and recuperate? Why are you running here?" Wen Qingcheng said with a slight frown.

"My injury has healed a long time ago. Today is the Lantern Festival, and I promised someone that I would accompany her to light lanterns tonight."

The Lantern Festival in Kyoto was held at the Fairy Lake near the Hou Tu Niangniang Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. As soon as it got dark, Mo Jinghong took Wen Qingcheng to the vicinity of the Hou Tu Niangniang Temple in a carriage, and Yingge rode on horseback with Bai Wei to follow.

As soon as Wen Qingcheng got off the car, she saw the bustling crowds on the street. There were lights and decorations everywhere, and it was even more lively than the temple fair.

Mo Jinghong and Wen Qingcheng walked in front, followed by Axuan, Baiwei, Yingge and others. Every few steps on the street, you can see people selling sky lanterns and river lanterns. Many young girls will buy river lanterns and release them in the Fairy Lake to pray for the safety of the whole family and a happy marriage.

"It's so lively." Wen Qingcheng has never liked to join in the fun, but when she came here, she couldn't help but be infected by the lively and cheerful atmosphere.

"You can also light lanterns and make a wish later. They say it is very effective." Mo Jinghong looked at Wen Qingcheng lovingly. The light reflected in his bright starry eyes, looking sparkling.

"But I have so many wishes, one lamp may not be enough."

Mo Jinghong smiled and said, "That's easy. Just buy a few more."

At this time, the crowds on the street were all walking in the same direction. People on the street said that the show ahead had begun. Wen Qingcheng stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the gongs and drums. Mo Jinghong smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look."

After that, he walked towards the opera. Along the way, there were jugglers and magicians, and the streets were crowded. Wen Qingcheng was squeezed close to Mo Jinghong. Inadvertently, Mo Jinghong touched the soft little hand and pretended to hold it unconsciously, adding: "Don't get lost."

Wen Qingcheng would not object, and let him lead her. The two watched a play for a while, and then went to see the iron flower. It was more lively than the Chinese New Year. Tired of shopping, they found a stall and drank almond oil tea. Mo Jinghong bought glutinous rice dumplings for Wen Qingcheng and the other girls. Mo Jinghong and A Falcon didn't like sweet drinks, so they ordered a cup of tea.

After a short rest, they got up and left the market, heading towards the Hou Tu Niangniang Temple. They came to an open area, where many river lanterns had already been released in the Fairy Lake.

"Cheng'er, let's light the lanterns too."

"it is good."

There were many people selling river lanterns by the river. Wen Qingcheng picked out five of the largest lotus lanterns, which were as big as small washbasins.

After releasing the river lanterns, Mo Jinghong took Wen Qingcheng to a stall selling sky lanterns and bought five sky lanterns from the lantern stand. The sky lanterns were made of paper, and one could write one's wishes on the paper. Wen Qingcheng picked up the paper and pen on the table of the stall owner and wrote on the sky lantern: "May I be like a star and you like the moon, shining brightly every night."

When Wen Qingcheng finished writing, the stall owner next to her immediately praised: "Oh, this lady has great literary talent, and the handwriting... is also well written. Your wish will surely come true."

Mo Jinghong chuckled and looked deeply at Wen Qingcheng. The warmth in his eyes seemed to melt her halfway. "I didn't expect my Cheng'er could write poetry. You really bring me surprises every moment."

At this time, a few more little girls gathered around, and when they saw Wen Qingcheng's sky lantern, they liked it very much and wanted to write these two sentences too, so many sky lanterns of the same style appeared.

After buying five lanterns and writing down their wishes, they came to the Fairy Lake and started to release the sky lanterns. Ah Falcon took out a fire starter from his arms and lit it. Wen Qingcheng held the lantern in his hand, raised it high above his head, and then let go. The sky lantern slowly rose up and flew high.

Bai Wei, Yingge, and A Falcon also released their sky lanterns one by one. Wen Qingcheng patted Bai Wei excitedly, "Close your eyes quickly and make a wish."

Wen Qingcheng closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and made a silent wish. Mo Jinghong saw how pious Wen Qingcheng looked and couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

Mo Jinghong gazed at Wen Qingcheng with a deep smile. Under the light, her face glowed with a faint white glow, her eyebrows were delicate and picturesque, her long eyelashes were slightly curled up, and they fluttered gently like two small fans, casting a faint shadow under her eyelids. Her cherry lips under her beautiful nose were delicate and charming, and there was a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she thought that her wish had come true.

Mo Jinghong just couldn't get enough of it. How could his little girl be so pretty? After a little dressing up, she was already stunning. After Wen Qingcheng made her wish, she looked at Mo Jinghong and found that Mo Jinghong was looking at her deeply. Wen Qingcheng glared at him and muttered in a low voice: "What are you looking at? There are sky lanterns, why are you looking at me?"

Wen Qingcheng finished speaking, and instead of looking at him, she looked up at the night sky. In an instant, the night sky was filled with sky lanterns. "Why did so many sky lanterns suddenly appear?" Wen Qingcheng exclaimed.

Bai Wei also said, "Yes, there weren't so many in the sky just now." Wen Qingcheng was slightly stunned. There weren't so many before she made a wish. When she opened her eyes, it felt like the sky was about to brighten. The crowd around was also boiling, and men and women cheered.

"Are these so many sky lanterns enough to fulfill your wish?" Mo Jinghong stood behind Wen Qingcheng and whispered in her ear. The deep and mellow voice made Wen Qingcheng's heart tremble.

Wen Qingcheng nodded heavily, looking at the sky lanterns that filled the entire night sky, floating towards the dark blue sky, like twinkling stars. The sky lanterns in the night sky were reflected on the lake, the water and the sky were the same color, and everything in sight was dazzling.

Ah Falcon said, "The prince bought three thousand sky lanterns for Miss Wen, and gave the soldiers in the barracks a day off so that they could release these three thousand lanterns at the same time, praying that all the wishes of Miss Wen's life would come true."

Wen Qingcheng found out that it was Mo Jinghong who arranged it. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. He was so busy, but he was willing to spend time on her. Mo Jinghong's eyes were full of affection. At some point, an exquisite box appeared in Mo Jinghong's hand. He opened it in front of Wen Qingcheng, and inside was a ruby ​​necklace. The chain was inlaid with tiny diamonds, and in the center of the necklace, there was a heart-shaped ruby ​​of excellent quality, like a burning heart.

Under the lights, it was so dazzling that Bai Wei covered her mouth with excitement. Even Yingge, who was always aloof, couldn't help but come over to look. What woman doesn't love jewelry? Wen Qingcheng subconsciously put her hand on the box. "Oh my god, this is expensive."
