Miss Li was unwilling to marry Young Master Wang in the first place, and she was even more unwilling to accept it after being beaten by him on her wedding night.
Not knowing how this matter would end, Shen Tang was as curious as a cat scratching its head.
She really wanted Chen Shan to go to Wang's house to help her watch the fun, but the Lantern Festival was the day after tomorrow. Ever since the man told her his identity at the Lantern Festival that day, he never came to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to find her again. For some reason, the closer she got to the Lantern Festival, the more uneasy she felt.
Chen Shan was ordered to protect her, not to help her find out gossip. Besides, she was already angry just to save his master's face. It was wrong to ask Chen Shan to help her follow Shen Xi last time, let alone now.
Looking at the pond of koi, Shen Tang was absent-minded.
No rumors were spread about how the Wang family handled the matter. It seemed that they were afraid of breaking up with the Yongning Marquis's Mansion and had to endure the cuckolding.
Two days passed by in the blink of an eye.
There was a lantern festival in the evening. In order to prevent himself from having wild thoughts and to have energy to appreciate the lanterns at night, Shen Tang slept for more than an hour in the afternoon. When he woke up, the sunset in the sky was gorgeous.
Shen Tang packed up a bit and went to Songhe Hall. Shen Luo was already waiting there. "Second sister, why are you here just now? I thought you weren't going to visit the lantern festival anymore."
Shen Luo was very anxious. Although the lantern festival would only be beautiful after dark, the streets must be crowded with people at this time. She had been waiting for a while. If she was not afraid, she would not want to wait for Shen Tang and would go out on the street alone.
Shen Tang said, "I just slept for a while. I'm sorry to have kept Fourth Sister waiting for so long."
Shen Luo said, "Then let's leave the house quickly."
Shen Tang looked at the old lady, who said, "There are a lot of people at the Lantern Festival, so bring more people with you so they don't get separated."
It is impossible not to get lost, and it is good enough to ensure that the personal maid follows you all the time.
But no one dared to say this out loud. Shen Tang and Shen Luo agreed obediently and then left the house together.
The two originally wanted to take a carriage to the most prosperous street in Kyoto, but they left too late and there were too many people on the street, so the carriage could not pass through. After two streets, it was difficult to move forward, so they had to get off and walk.
Kyoto only holds a few lantern festivals a year, so every lantern festival is cherished and no one wants to miss it. Today is the birthday of the late emperor. When the late emperor was alive, he designated this day as the Longevity Festival and held a lantern festival outside the palace to celebrate the late emperor's birthday. Later, when the late emperor passed away, the emperor missed him and still allowed the lantern festival to be held outside the palace on this day, and it has continued to this day.
After getting out of the carriage and walking less than halfway down the street, Shen Tang and Shen Luo got separated. Only Ginkgo and Qiu Tong, as well as two servants, were left with Shen Tang. When they finished walking down the street, only Ginkgo and Qiu Tong were left with Shen Tang.
Well, if Qiu Tong hadn't grabbed Ginkgo in time, Ginkgo wouldn't have known where he would have been squeezed to.
Shen Tang was going to meet the man at the bridge. She originally wanted to get rid of Shen Luo and the servants from the Marquis' Mansion, but being separated by the crowd saved her trouble. As for Ginkgo and Qiu Tong, they were both trustworthy.
After half a year, no, after four years, Shen Tang stood by the White Jade Bridge again, looking a little dazed.
Many girls were releasing wishing lanterns by the bridge. Ginkgo said, "Girls, could you please make a wish?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "Let it go yourselves."
She released lotus lanterns every year, but her wish never came true.
In the past, she had the leisure time and just treated it as a play, but now she is not in the mood.
She watched the people coming and going on the bridge. She didn't know how long she stood there, and the familiar figure she had been waiting for finally appeared on the bridge.
The man stood tall and straight, like a delicate orchid and a jade tree, and he still wore the silver mask on his face. Under the candlelight and moonlight, he looked noble and mysterious.
What kind of face is hidden by that mask?
We'll find out tonight.
I was obviously thinking about it and was very eager about it, but when the truth was about to be revealed, I felt extremely nervous.
Shen Tang looked at the man, and the man also looked at her. When he came down from the bridge, Shen Tang noticed that he was wearing the belt she embroidered today, and the purse she embroidered was also hanging around his waist.
You two looked at each other, as if the noise around us had nothing to do with them.
Shen Tang looked into the man's eyes through the mask. This was the first time she had looked so closely, and the more she looked, the more familiar he looked.
The man asked with a smile, "Why didn't you release the wishing lantern this time?"
Shen Tang was about to speak when two girls playing behind her bumped into her without noticing, pushing her forward into the man's arms.
Shen Tang's face flushed red, she suspected that she and this place were not compatible.
Half a year ago, during the Lantern Festival, she was releasing a wishing lantern here and didn't notice the man standing behind her and asking her, "What's your wish?"
The sudden sound startled her, and she slipped and almost fell into the water. The man hugged her around the waist.
This time he hugged me again!
Shen Tang's ears turned red, and he tried to back away, but the man didn't let go. Shen Tang said, "You...you let me go!"
Although it was not the first time that she was hugged by a man, it happened in public. He was wearing a mask, but she was not. If someone saw her, she would be shameless.
Shen Tang struggled for a few times, but the man, knowing she was shy, let her go and said, "I'll take you to the Lantern Festival."
Not a word about unmasking.
Just now, Shen Tang looked at him, but he didn't take off the mask and deliberately changed the subject. Shen Tang felt it. He said that it was him who showed her his face at the Lantern Festival. Now the Lantern Festival has arrived, but he is still delaying. The warmth on Shen Tang's face faded and his mood became a little gloomy.
But she didn't urge the man. Either she knew it tonight, or there would be no future.
We've waited for so many days, one or two hours won't make a difference.
Not only did Shen Tang not urge the man to take off his mask, but she also bought a mask and put it on for fear of being seen with the man under the moonlight.
Shen Tang was glad that he had bought the things quickly enough. Almost as soon as he finished shopping, he saw Shen Xian and Shen Ran who were supposed to be reflecting on themselves in Jingci Temple.
Shen Tang noticed them, but they didn't notice Shen Tang and were just walking around on their own.
Shen Tang was led by the man and walked all the way forward. When there were many people around, the man held Shen Tang in his arms to prevent her from being squeezed. He was so considerate that Ginkgo and Qiutong's ears turned red again and again.
Although they all knew that the man in front of them was their future son-in-law, they hadn't gotten married yet, and the marriage hadn't even been arranged. Was this really okay?
For fear of exposing Shen Tang, the two maids covered their faces with masks and followed behind silently.
The city is filled with lanterns, drums and music.
The man took her to guess lantern riddles and visit lanterns, going through the same thing she had experienced half a year ago. Just like half a year ago, the man wanted to snatch the lantern for her. Thinking of the danger last time, Shen Tang shook her head repeatedly, "No need."
The man said, "Don't like it?"
It’s not that she doesn’t like him, but she has been troubled by a lantern he gave her for half a year and doesn’t want to go through it again.
Shen Tang grabbed the man's hand and said, "Let's go over there."
In the man's eyes, all the lanterns in the city combined are not as beautiful as Shen Tang.
Whenever Shen Tang wanted to go shopping over there, he would agree.
"it is good."
The two left the noisy place and walked over there. As they walked, the man pulled Shen Tang's hand, and Shen Tang turned around and landed in his arms.
Before Shen Tangren could react, she felt something shooting past her ear.
Shen Tang was shocked.
It's a hidden weapon!
The man held Shen Tang in his arms and turned to look at where the hidden weapon came from.
I saw a man walking out from under the shadow of the tree.
It was the prince of Changping Marquis.
The Marquis of Changping said coldly, "As expected, as long as we send someone to follow Miss Shen Er, we can find you."
"Dare to kick this prince, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
