Chapter 176 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (46)
Lantern Festival.
Shen Fanli was invited by Song Huayao to go out and see the lanterns.
There are many shops, bright lights and a constant stream of people on the street.
Song Liaoye was under the bridge watching the people coming from one end of the bridge to this end.
It gave people the illusion that Shen Fanli was walking towards him.
Emotions are like an endless stream of water beneath the undercurrent, surging and never stopping.
He took two steps forward, only to see Shen Fanli passing right past him.
Song Huayao looked back at Song Liaoye and muttered something.
It seems to be saying, I brought the person out, but you, my royal brother, are not doing well, so you can’t blame me!
Shen Fanli naturally saw Song Liaoye and said calmly: "Ayao, you insisted on asking me to come out, so this is it."
Song Huayao immediately shook her head and changed the subject, "No, no, Sister Fanli, look at those, they are so beautiful."
Shen Fanli looked in the direction she pointed, and saw many kinds of lanterns floating in the river.
Song Huayao took people to release lanterns. The shop owner said they could make a wish and just write it on the lanterns.
Hearing this, Song Huayao took out two lotus-shaped lanterns, handed one to Shen Fanli, and kept the other for herself.
After she finished writing her wish, she saw Shen Fanli standing still, and asked in confusion: "Sister Fanli, aren't you going to write a wish?"
Shen Fanli shook his head, "I don't have any wishes."
Song Huayao was a little surprised, but didn't say much.
Sometimes she also felt that Shen Fanli was not a person from this world.
The two placed the lanterns in the water and watched them float away with the current. Then they went to other places to watch the fun. Behind them were Shen Fanli's guards, and there were several secret guards in the dark, who were sent by Song Liaoye to protect their safety.
Not long after the two left, Song Liaoye appeared there.
After asking the shopkeeper, he took out a lantern in his hand that was the same as the one Shen Fanli had just held, and he wrote down his wish with a pen.
The lantern floated away along the water, and Song Liaoye turned around and followed it.
The wish written on the lantern is: I only wish to be with you for the rest of my life.
After a while, the group arrived at the largest teahouse in Suzhou City.
The top floor was reserved, waiting for guests to arrive.
When Shen Fanli and his group arrived here, the shop owner immediately appeared and was very friendly and respectful.
This was not the first time Shen Fanli came here, but she noticed a slight difference in the shopkeeper's attitude very subtly.
Song Huayao waved her hand to ask several young women who were singing and playing the piano to leave and asked someone to bring some wine. She had been in the Northern Frontier for several years and her style of doing things was mostly unrestrained and willful.
The two sat for a while, and then Song Huayao stood up.
"Sister Fanli, I'm going to the toilet and will be back soon."
After saying that, she couldn't wait to leave, as if someone was chasing her.
Not long after she left, the sound of fireworks rang out in the sky. Her position was an excellent viewing point. There was no better place to watch the fireworks than here. It seemed as if they were specially set for the people sitting here to see.
Shen Fanli glanced back and was about to ask someone to call Song Huayao to watch the fireworks.
When he turned around, he saw Song Liaoye.
The smile on Shen Fanli's lips gradually faded.
"Did you ask someone to release it?"
Shen Fanli looked back at him. Fireworks were blooming in the sky. Half of her face seemed to be in the light, as bright as the light, making people fascinated and reluctant to leave.
Song Liaoye looked at the person in a daze for a moment, and then when Shen Fanli saw him, his smile disappeared, and he felt complicated.
Like the lake water in Nanshan under the winter sun, it is bitingly cold.
Song Liaoye approached and stopped at the railing. He looked at Shen Fanli's face and whispered, "Yes."
"We celebrate the Lantern Festival together every year, and this year is no exception."
"Fanli, come back to Shangjing with me."
Song Liaoye pursed his lips, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "You are the mother of a country, my queen, and I will make arrangements for your father. Whether you become an official or do business, it's up to your father, okay?"
He stared straight at Shen Fanli's expression, unwilling to miss any of it.
Song Liaoye had been receiving letters from the capital over the past few days. The country could not be without a king for a day, so all of them urged him to return to the capital as soon as possible.
At the latest in the next two days, Song Liaoye will have to go back.
But Shen Fanli was slow to nod.
Song Liaoye knew that she didn't want to go back to Beijing with him.
His features tensed, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
Of course Song Liaoye could take the person back by force, but he didn't.
Just as Shen Fanli understood him, he also understood Shen Fanli very well. She looked gentle, but her personality was very stubborn. If he really did this, it would only make the distance between them grow farther and farther.
He didn't want the two of them to end up in that situation.
It is clear that their past was happy and there is no reason for them to become alienated or even resentful of each other in the future.
Clearly, they are people who love each other deeply...
Song Liaoye naturally didn't want to do so.
Shen Fanli was about to speak, but Song Liaoye leaned over first.
His lips pressed against hers, as if he knew she was going to reject him, so he blocked her lips, not wanting to hear it.
The kiss was instant.
The fireworks are still blooming, so gorgeous.
Shen Fanli took a step back, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
"Fanli is not interested in the position of Queen Mother. I am quite comfortable being my boss Shen in Suzhou City."
"Shangjing is too far away, and the palace is too big. It doesn't belong to me."
Song Liaoye exhaled slightly, his eyes dark, "You have been in Shangjing for more than 20 years, but now you say that Shangjing is too far..."
"You are too far away from me..."
Song Liaoye clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he looked at the people who kept him at a distance.
Then he showed a dejected expression and laughed at himself.
"I knew it. You set the house on fire and made me think you were dead..." Song Liaoye closed his eyes tightly, slammed his fist on the guardrail, and his throat was a little blocked. "How could you go back with me so easily?"
"But, we shouldn't do this..."
Yeah, they shouldn't be like this.
"Tell me what you are dissatisfied with me for, and I will correct it. The rumors in the past are just rumors. You should know that my heart belongs to you alone. Are you still angry with me for that day? I said that because of the situation, and I didn't want you to get involved, so I said that."
Shen Fanli turned her head away, her long eyelashes falling on her face, and she did not look at Song Liaoye.
Song Liaoye looked at Shu Fanli and said in a muffled voice: "You are talking to me, I know you are angry."
Every time Shen Fanli gets angry, she ignores Song Liaoye.
Song Liaoye's dark eyes held a hint of grievance, and his tone slowed down, "You can hit me, but don't be silent."
In the past, whenever the two of them quarreled, Song Liaoye would bring people cakes from Zhichunlou or flowers from Xining Street, and she would be coaxed into peace quickly.
In fact, the two of them had never really quarreled. It was just that Shen Fanli would occasionally get upset, but it would basically be over on the same day.
It had never happened before, she faked her own death and ran away, not wanting to see him again.
Song Liaoye really didn't know what he should do to make her go back with him.
There was silence in the room.
After a long time, there was a crackling sound coming from the house, as if something was smashed to the ground, making a sound.
The people outside the house felt nervous when they heard the voice. Gao Yu said, "Sir, please let me in."
The sound of Song Liaoye opening the door responded to Gao Yu.
The people at the door immediately took a step back. Song Liaoye walked in front, followed by several guards.
Gao Yu just saw through the crack in the door that the tea set and cups on the ground were smashed all over the floor.
I just don’t know, is it His Majesty or Miss Shen?
He guessed that it was probably His Majesty's doing.
Only in front of Miss Shen, he would have many more emotions, as if all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were because of her...
