Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

The fifteenth moon is full of silver light, and its bright brightness flows down.

The whole city was brilliantly lit, dotted with countless gorgeous bright lanterns, lanterns and fireworks and moonlight shining together, and even the dark water under the moat was reflected like a star bridge and the Milky Way.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in Jian'an City was very lively. Shen Zhaozhao didn't want to miss it, so she suggested to everyone to go out and play. Yu Miaoyi was the first to agree, and Xie Yanshu had no objection.

Lu Jin stared at Yu Miaoyi expectantly, but found that she didn't even look at him. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "I have something to do tonight, you guys go ahead."

Then he waved his sleeves and left.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at Jiang Jinyan, his heart was filled with problems and he had been feeling particularly depressed these past few days.

Her sparkling eyes were filled with worry and concern, and Jiang Jinyan felt warm in his heart. He thought for a moment and replied, "Okay."

Several people got up and set off. When they were about to leave, Jiang Jinyan sat on the chair without moving, with a conflicted look on his face.

Shen Zhaozhao looked back in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Jinyan rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Or, I'd better not go."

Everyone is in pairs, so wouldn't it be redundant for him to go?

Shen Zhaozhao ran over and grabbed Jiang Jinyan: "No, you can't go back on your promise. Let's play together."

Jiang Jinyan hesitated.

Chu Yu crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the door. He made an impatient "tsk" sound and looked at Jiang Jinyan and said, "Stop wasting time. Let's go."

Shen Zhaozhao and Yu Miaoyi looked at each other, and then they carried Jiang Jinyan out, one on the left and one on the right. Chu Yu and Xie Yanshu followed slowly behind.

Of course they knew the reason why Jiang Jinyan was entangled, but they would definitely not let him stay alone in the Marquis' Mansion.

The streets were bustling with noisy crowds of people. Several people came to the stall for guessing riddles. The two little girls were both inexperienced and loved to play, so they had to ask Jiang Jinyan for help. As soon as he guessed correctly, the two of them applauded happily.

On the other side, it was much quieter. Xie Yanshu shifted his gaze from the stall to Chu Yu, gently placed his hand on his shoulder, and asked with concern: "Junior brother, are you healed from your injuries?"

Chu Yu avoided his touch, but smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. Fortunately, I have the extremely cold Ganoderma lucidum you brought back. I am now well."

His tone was sincere and polite, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Xie Yanshu just felt for some reason that he was unwilling to accept his kindness.

Xie Yanshu was confused and sighed helplessly.

Jiang Jinyan helped Shen Zhaozhao and Yu Miaoyi each harvest a trophy. The two of them were holding exquisite rabbit lanterns with joy on their faces. Jiang Jinyan was infected by their emotions and also smiled.

Yu Miaoyi's attention was quickly drawn to the fire dragon dance like a jumping rabbit. She clamored to go over and take a look, but just as she took a few steps away, her figure was swept away by the sudden surge of the crowd.

The crowd was so crowded that Yu Miaoyi was about to disappear from everyone's sight, so Xie Yanshu quickly followed.

The place where the fire dragon was dancing was quickly surrounded by circles. If they went over now, they could only stand on the periphery and could not see anything.

Shen Zhaozhao looked around and saw colorful water lanterns of various sizes floating on the river not far away, the warm light shining on faces full of longing and piety.

Her eyes lit up: "Why don't we go and release lanterns? I heard that if you write your wishes on the lanterns, the gods can see them and maybe they will come true."

"Okay." Jiang Jinyan nodded.

Chu Yu stated the facts and poured cold water on her: "The gods have long since fallen, how could they possibly see your wish."

Shen Zhaozhao was so angry that she punched him with her little fists until Chu Yu agreed to pay for the lanterns.

Shen Zhaozhao excitedly pulled the sleeves of the two to buy lanterns, and Chu Yu quietly squeezed his hand between her fingers.

After crossing the stone arch bridge and finding an open space, they squatted beside the stone pier.

Jiang Jinyan has already started writing his wish. He wishes that Gu Qianmeng can come back.

Shen Zhaozhao bit the pen and thought for a long time. She tilted her head slightly and saw Chu Yu squatting beside her, supporting his cheek with one hand, looking at her leisurely.

She blinked: "Why don't you make a wish?"

He didn't answer, but asked: "Then what took you so long to think about it?"

Shen Zhaozhao said with a bitter face: "I have too many wishes to make, I don't know which one to write."

Chu Yu came closer and placed his lantern on the stone pillar: "Then write one here."

Shen Zhaozhao handed the lantern back to him and refused, "How can that be? You have to write your own wishes on the lantern. Besides, if I write two wishes, the gods will think I'm greedy and won't grant my wishes."

She had already thought about what to write and picked up the pen with a smile.

The warm light from the lanterns revealed the girl's fair and translucent skin. Her eyebrows and eyes curved like crescents as she smiled. Her clear and bright eyes were full of seriousness, and the things she wrote were also covered tightly.

Chu Yu clenched his fists and leaned forward to take a look, but his intention was immediately discovered by Shen Zhaozhao.

She pounced on the lantern and said, "Hey, you write yours, don't peek at mine."

She looked like she was on guard against thieves, and Chu Yu frowned, looking very dissatisfied.

Shen Zhaozhao held the lantern in his arms and looked at him with a smile: "Hurry up and write. We are the only one missing. Let's light it together."

Chu Yu himself didn't care about praying to the gods, and even sneered at it, but seeing her looking at him eagerly, he thought for a moment and also turned his body sideways: "You are not allowed to look at me either."

He wrote a few words quickly on the lamp.

The three of them released the lanterns together, and they gradually floated away along the river, with the flames spreading out into a gorgeous sea of ​​stars.

The candlelight shone on two lanterns that were placed close together, and the ink marks were clear.

"I hope Chu Yu is doing well!"

"Zhao Zhao got what he wanted."

At the same time, the arch bridge is at its highest point.

The concubine stood by the railing, taking in the bustling scene of bright lights. With a smile on her lips, she said to the other person, "Next year's Lantern Festival should be in the new year."

The man had a smile on his face as he casually played with the jade in his hand and looked into the distance.

His eyes casually swept under the bridge, and suddenly, his pupils shrank, the smile on his lips froze, and his eyes stared at a certain place in a daze.

The Concubine Chen followed his gaze and saw this scene.

The beautiful girl looked shy as she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed the handsome man on the cheek.

The man was stunned for a moment, and a blush appeared on his ears. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind and kissed her on the forehead.

The sweet and warm atmosphere between the two of them was self-evident. She glanced at the man next to her. His face had turned visibly paler, and there was a sense of loss and loneliness in his eyes.

She asked: "Does His Royal Highness Prince Xuan know those two people?"

King Xuan pursed his lips and retracted his gaze: "I don't know him."

At this time, a man in black hurried over and knelt down to salute: "Your Highness."

King Xuan frowned and said, "What's the matter? Stand up and speak."

The man in black whispered, "News came from the palace that the emperor has passed away."

The eyes of the Concubine Chen flickered slightly. After taking the last dose of the strong medicine, it was indeed time for her to die.

The Zheng royal couple finally understood the situation. After repaying all the favors, she could be herself again.

She smiled at King Xuan and said, "Your Highness has been patient and dormant for many years, and now he has finally got what he wanted."

King Xuan remained silent, watching the two men leave, and only withdrew his gaze when he could no longer see their figures in the crowd.

In order to protect himself at first, he pretended to be cowardly and incompetent, and never really thought about seizing power and usurping the throne.

But after the incident with Prince Yongping, he suddenly realized how his brother, who favored treacherous people and persecuted loyal and honest people, had the qualifications to sit on the throne.

Fortunately, she is still alive.
