cold clothes

After saying that, Wang Yuqing excitedly took her cold clothes and rushed into the night, where the snowflakes floated on the sky.

"A strange thing, indispensable to everyone, cannot be cut by a knife, nor hooked by a hook. What is it?" Wang Yuqing approached a lantern and softly recited the riddle written on it. After finishing, she smiled and asked Leng Yi, "Can Ningbi guess what it is?"

Leng Yi blinked, chuckling to herself. Wang Yuqing had immediately guessed that she was being tested. Leng Yi wasn't going to play dumb with such a simple riddle, and simply said, "Water."

"Hehe, as expected, this is no challenge for you."

Leng Yi smiled modestly and said, "These are just the first few riddles; I might not be able to guess the rest."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

"Hey—" Leng Yi was excitedly pulled by Wang Yuqing to the Imperial Garden.

I was led away by Yuqing again... Actually, Yuqing is quite lively and playful. Her dignified demeanor is just a facade.

The two arrived at a pond in the Imperial Garden, spanned by a stone arch bridge, with small paper lanterns floating in the water. Wang Yuqing picked up a paper lantern from the pond and read aloud the words on it, "Raising my head, I gaze at the bright moon." Then she turned it over and said, "Guess the name of a Chinese medicine. Hmm, a Chinese medicine... I don't know much about it."

Wang Yuqing frowned in thought.

Leng Yi also fell into deep thought. Looking up at the bright moon, she felt that she could easily say "looking down and thinking of her hometown"... What does it have to do with the name of a Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, she had learned so many Chinese medicinal herbs from Aunt Fang, what could be related to "Quiet Night Thoughts"?

——!

Leng Yi had a sudden inspiration, "It should be Angelica sinensis!"

Because Leng Yi was a little excited, her voice became much louder, which inevitably attracted the attention of those around her.

"Huh?" A hint of doubt flashed in Wang Yuqing's eyes, but after a moment's thought, her eyes lit up. "I see, I understand now. The act of 'raising one's head to gaze at the bright moon' means facing the moon directly, which is 'to be,' while the connotation of 'raising one's head to gaze at the bright moon' is thought, which is 'to return.' It really is 'returning home.'"

“Yuqing looks very happy,” Lengyi couldn’t help but laugh.

"Eh, is it that you've lost your composure?" Wang Yuqing suddenly became reserved.

"So cute." Leng Yi's eyes were full of smiles. "You can be a little more delicate in the future, and don't have to be so mature."

Are you implying that I look old?

"No no."

The two were chatting and joking when suddenly a male voice came: "Yuqing, so you're here."

Leng Yi and Wang Yuqing both looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Zhao Qun's handsome figure not far away.

“Third Prince…” Wang Yuqing murmured in surprise, instantly withdrawing her smile and subconsciously adopting a proper posture.

Seeing Zhao Qun, Leng Yi also restrained herself and quietly reduced her presence.

Zhao Qun approached them, and they all bowed to him. Zhao Qun gently said, "No need for formalities."

"I suddenly heard Ningbi's voice just now and thought I had misheard. I followed the sound and found that it really was you."

Zhao Qun's clear and powerful voice proclaimed the words "Ningbi," which made Leng Yi's heart tremble slightly. Fortunately, Zhao Qun was looking at Wang Yuqing when he spoke, and did not look at her specifically, which reassured her a lot.

The engaged couple stood together; it was time for her to leave.

Leng Yi bowed slightly and said, "It was Ningbi who lost her composure. Your Highness, Miss Yuqing, the lanterns on the other side are of a strange style that Ningbi has never seen before. May I go over there to admire them?"

Wang Yuqing immediately showed a hesitant and reluctant expression. Zhao Qun's eyes added a hint of a smile, and he said, "This prince has no objection. What about you, Yuqing?"

"I have no objection."
