Both worlds are like dreams

The further you go into the city, the more lively it becomes. Lanterns of various colors are hung all over the streets. Even the cold weather can't stop people from celebrating the festival.

"Let's go down and walk." Xue Huang said with a smile. "The carriages are too congested."

Mo Yunchen nodded and helped her down.

He signaled the people who were following him to disperse, leaving him alone to follow Xue Huang.

"Slow down." He pulled her cloak tighter, "Don't bump into anyone."

Xue Huang looked at him, a little dazed, "Have we visited the Lantern Festival in Shangyang City before?"

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything.

"It seems to be the Qiqiao Festival."

"What's wrong? Did you remember something?"

"I remember that day the whole city was filled with lanterns, and I seemed to have made a wish under the Moon Goddess Tree."

"What wish did you make?" Mo Yunchen asked.

Xue Huang looked puzzled, "I can't remember clearly."

"It's okay, I'll remember it later."

"Weren't you by my side at the time? I remember you made a wish, and then I..." She frowned, "I think I wrote that I hope all your wishes will come true. What did you wish for?"

Mo Yunchen looked at her, his eyes were tinged with soft warmth by the thousands of lights, and he smiled faintly, "I hope you will always live like the sun, wantonly, free and easy, bright and outspoken, from beginning to end, never changing."

Xue Huang looked at him, and a familiar figure flashed through her mind. She couldn't see his face clearly, but only remembered that he was wearing a red dress.

She hesitated for a moment and wanted to continue asking, but her thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise.

I looked in the direction of the sound and found it was a small stall, shouting something.

"Come on, come on, ten coins for five arrows. If you hit them all, you can take away any small item."

Many people gathered around instantly and started trying it out.

Some people won, some people didn't hit any arrows.

There is a ring next to it, you can take whichever one you put the ring on.

"Do you want to play this?" Mo Yunchen asked.

Xue Huang shook her head, "There's nothing I want, it's not as exquisite as what you can find in Shangyang City."

"Let's go to the front." Mo Yunchen took her hand and led her through the crowd.

Frostlin City looks prosperous and warm under the night sky, and there are more and more new and novel things. It is said that they are all shops opened by merchants from all over the world.

After a while, Xuehuang had a bunch of food, drinks and toys in her hands.

She has been recuperating from her injuries for some time now, and her diet, although exquisite, was light. Now, when she walks into the market, she wants to eat everything she sees.

Mo Yunchen followed her and just paid the bill. Seeing her happy expression, he couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so he just let her go.

"Do you want to try this?" Xue Huang suddenly stopped in front of him, her eyes shining like the stars in the sky, and the lights in the city were instantly dimmed.

He was a little absent-minded, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

"What's wrong?" Xue Huang asked. "Did I get something on my face?" She quickly reached out and wiped it off. She had just eaten several things, so it should have rubbed something on her face, right?

"What is this?" Mo Yunchen asked, looking at what she was holding.

"It's jasmine milk cake." Xue Huang fed him a piece directly. "It has a very strong floral fragrance."

"Have you paid?"

"No," Xue Huang smiled and ran to the next stall, "Just pay."

Mo Yunchen smiled slightly and put a silver ingot on the stall, which frightened the stall owner and he thanked him tremblingly.

He glanced at her calmly, said nothing, and walked towards the direction of Snow Phoenix.

After a few steps, Xue Huang came back hurriedly, snatched a silver ingot from his hand, and ran away again.

After a while, she bought a bunch of candy figures and distributed them to a group of children in the market.

Those were the children from Pujiyuan, who were brought out for fun by Duan Yun and his wife.

Xuehuang still remembered it, so she bought each of them a string of candied haws.

Sang Zhi held the child in her arms and walked up to Xue Huang with a smile, "Meet the princess. Did you go to the Lantern Festival with the prince?"

Xue Huang nodded, looked at the cute child in her arms, and teased, "She is so cute."

"The princess likes children?"

"I don't know. I can't even take care of a cat."

"I didn't know how to take care of it at first, but I learned it naturally after becoming a mother. The princess and the prince have been married for more than a year, and it's time for them to have a child."

Xue Huang was stunned for a moment, "Or... let's just let nature take its course.

Mo Yunchen stood not far away, with the lights of thousands of homes always behind her. She brought him into the warm world without him noticing.

Duan Yun walked up to him and said, "Your Highness, the people from the Mountain and River Sect have been trying to get close to the princess, but they have been stopped by our people. I dare to say that Your Highness should not take the princess out of the palace. If the people from the Mountain and River Sect find out, they will definitely report the news back to Shangyang City."

"She doesn't like being locked in a cage. In the days ahead, I will let her be happy and be herself."

"But...but there was news from Shangyang City that Wei Yunzhou had delivered a secret letter to Dongchu."

Mo Yunchen didn't react, he just asked, "How is Gu Qinglan?"

"He has completely forgotten all his memories about the princess, and Wei Yunzhou and His Majesty have chosen to continue to conceal it."

"I am the only one in the world who can save her. If they are smart enough, they should understand that she can only stay with me."

Xuehuang was still talking to Sangzhi. She said that people could release Kongming lanterns and make wishes at Qianli Bridge, so Xuehuang also walked over.

Mo Yunchen followed her footsteps, watched her looking at the Kongming lantern, and bought one for her.

Xue Huang was hesitant to write. She didn't know what to write, so she simply put down her pen and let it fly.

Looking at the Kongming lantern floating away, Xue Huang was a little absent-minded. She remembered the wish Mo Yunchen made under the tree.

I wish the country will prosper and the people will live in peace and health.

The second wish is to have someone to grow old with, and never be separated from each other through life and death.

And her wish was that all his wishes would come true.

But she felt like something was wrong, something was very inconsistent.

It was as if that wasn't a wish Mo Yunchen would make.

But if it wasn't him, why did he appear in her memory?

That figure in white is clearly his face.

No! That's not the wish he just mentioned.

So when did this happen?

Xue Huang looked at Mo Yunchen, her eyes gradually becoming serious, "What wish did you make under the Moon Goddess Tree?"

Mo Yunchen looked at her, his deep eyes like a bottomless whirlpool. Facing her question, he was as calm as water, "What did you remember?"

"Your wish is different from what I remember."

"Your memory is now confused, and some of the order may be different."

"Is that person really you?"

"If not me, who else could it be?"

Xue Huang was speechless for a moment. She looked at this familiar face and didn't know how to answer.

The people in those memories are all Mo Yunchen, no one else except him.

But why did she always feel like something was missing?

She frowned, but was startled by the sudden explosion.

It turned out that someone was setting off fireworks. The colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, which was extremely gorgeous.

Xue Huang looked at the night scene and couldn't help but cover her head in pain. Endless images flooded into her mind. It was the Qiqiao Festival in Shangyang City and the fireworks all over the city.

That was a very important day for her, but there was always a vague white figure in her memories.

But she couldn't see clearly anyway.

Mo Yunchen's figure and that man's figure kept flashing alternately in her mind.

Is that person Mo Yunchen?

Xue Huang tried hard to see clearly, but her heart suddenly felt as if it were pierced by thousands of arrows, the pain was unbearable.

Mo Yunchen immediately reached out and knocked her out to stop her from continuing to recall.

Then he took her back to the carriage and gave her medicine to suppress the poison.

It took a long time for Xue Huang's injuries to subside.

He held her in his arms and leaned against the carriage, looking at her pale face, and reached out his hand to gently stroke her eyebrows.

Then he threw a pill into the charcoal fire of the hand warmer, and instantly a fragrance spread in the carriage.

He already knew everything that happened on the Qiqiao Festival, but he didn't expect that she would remember it so clearly, and even have such a strong reaction after just one glance, which could even break through the dream world he had woven.

Xue Huang woke up half an hour later. She rubbed her eyes, feeling a little dazed at first, and then she found herself in a carriage, leaning on Mo Yunchen's shoulder.

She immediately sat up straight and moved to the side, "Why did I fall asleep?"

"I'm just tired from shopping."

Xue Huang found that his internal energy seemed to be insufficient, so she reached out and felt his pulse. Sure enough, her guess was correct. "Is my injury flaring up again? Otherwise, you wouldn't have consumed so much internal energy."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."
