My Lady is well

Chapter 144: Lantern Hall

"Master Du, don't be afraid of these unruly people. Leave them to your subordinates."

Jiang Ye came over, clasped his fists, bowed to Shen Yueyao, and stood behind her respectfully.

Du Changxun looked carefully and found that the two people who served the emperor closely were now beside her.

She escaped from the palace secretly last time, but the emperor didn't punish her at all?

Judging from her appearance, she seems to be highly favored by the emperor.

Could it be that what happened just now was done deliberately by her to take revenge on herself? !

This... Civil officials always value reputation the most, she...

Knowing that it was her who did it, Du Changxun was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

He waved his hands quickly and said anxiously: "Thank you all, this is really a misunderstanding."

After saying that, he walked towards Shen Yueyao and bowed respectfully.

Seeing that Shen Yueyao was wearing casual clothes, I knew that she didn't want to reveal her identity.

Shen Yueyao quickly glanced at Jin'er. This mischievous little girl quickly slipped back to the rouge shop in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yueyao raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile:.

"Hey, isn't this Master Du? Master is in such a good mood today that he even came out to go shopping?"

Du Changxun hesitated for a moment: "Shen..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know how to address him, so it was Eunuch Luo who spoke first.

"Our lady is in a good mood today and came out for a walk."

"Only Madam? Emperor..."

Cough cough--

Eunuch Luo coughed a few times to remind him to be careful with his words and not to reveal his identity.

Shen Yueyao smiled inwardly as she watched their awkward conversation, and didn't want to argue with Du Changxun any more.

After admiring his embarrassed look for a few seconds, he spoke.

"Master Du, I have something else to do. See you next time."

She stood up and was about to leave, but heard him say, "Madam, was it you who asked someone to do this today?"

Du Changxun thought about it and decided to ask.

Shen Yueyao had a calm expression on her face and her tone was indifferent and distant.

"Does Lord Du have any evidence for what he said?"

"We'll know once we catch that woman and try her."

"If that's the case, why is Lord Du still standing here? Why don't you go and arrest them?"

Du Changxun choked. She...she was not like this before.

When I see her now, it is clearly the same face, yet it feels so strange.

Shen Yueyao said calmly: "I won't bother Lord Du from arresting people. Goodbye."

"Shen..."

Seeing her turn around, Du Changxun wanted to ask a few more questions, but Shen Yueyao decided to give him a chance to speak and did not stop.

Jin'er had caught up with them at some point and whispered.

"Master, how did this servant perform?"

Shen Yueyao smiled and joked: "I just want to give you a prize."

Jin Er asked: "What prize?"

"Queen of movies."

Jin Er was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"I'm praising your acting skills. I'll reward you handsomely when you get back."

She scratched her head and chuckled, "Thank you, Master."

Shen Yueyao looked up and saw someone sitting by the window in the elegant room upstairs, sipping tea leisurely.

From his position, he probably saw everything that happened just now. Du Changxun is Prime Minister Leng’s son-in-law. Will he... help him?

Shen Yueyao went upstairs nervously and sat opposite him.

Seeing the indifferent expression on his cold, jade-like face, she smiled at him awkwardly.

But he said: "What a wonderful play, it makes people want to watch more."

"… As long as you enjoy watching it, young master."

"Madam, your actions make me worried. If I offend you in the future, I don't know how you will retaliate against me."

Shen Yueyao smiled perfunctorily: "How could that be? You are...how dare I."

"Is there anything you dare not do?"

"Of course."

Shen Yueyao caught a glimpse of lights being turned on in a shop, but it was too far away to see clearly, so she squinted her eyes and startled the person sitting opposite her.

What is she looking at?

He turned his head and followed her gaze, and saw Dengtang.

He stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Shen Yueyao smiled and nodded, then stood up and followed.

Shen Yueyao walked beside him, looking left and right, but he was stunned for a moment. Except for his wedding, no woman had ever dared to walk side by side with him.

But she is so brave!

There was a slight smile in his eyes, and his hands hanging under his brocade sleeves were a little restless. He wanted to reach out for her hand, but when he saw that she didn't even look at him for a moment, he suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.

He childishly grasped her delicate hand and held it tightly. Shen Yueyao came back to her senses and looked at him blankly.

"If you don't hurry up, it will be dark."

He took her hand and walked quickly into the lantern hall. It was the first time she saw so many lanterns, of various kinds, screen lanterns, pagoda lanterns, jade lanterns, sheepskin lanterns... with fine gold paintings and hollowed-out pavilions, so exquisite.

It must look great when lit up.

The shop owner saw that the couple was a good-looking couple and that they were holding hands, so he smiled and said.

"You two are newlyweds, right? This lamp is called Silk, sir, wouldn't it be perfect to buy this lamp as a gift for your wife?"

The boss' words were very much to his liking, and he lowered his head and looked at her out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Yueyao felt a little strange when she saw the people around her. Besides, how could they be considered newcomers?

He refused: "I don't want this."

She picked up a sheepskin lamp at random and said, "I want this one."

But I heard someone next to me say: "I want this one."

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I want both. I want this one and he wants this one."

Although the boss thought the young lady was a little strange, who wouldn't want a lamp given by her husband?

But when I heard her say she wanted both, I couldn't stop smiling.

Shen Yueyao didn't look at his gloomy face at this time, and took the lantern to the side to write an inscription.

She thought for a long time but couldn't think of what to write, and finally settled on the word "freedom".

Turning around, I saw him still standing in a daze in front of the counter, so I walked over to ask.

"Sir, have you not thought of any wish yet?"

He turned around and said with a somewhat envious tone.

"That's right. A person like you has everything you want, so you probably don't have any wishes."

These words sounded like sarcasm to him.

He tightened his hands behind his back, suppressed his slight anger, and spoke angrily.

"Who said that? My wish is to make your wish come true."

"you!"

Shen Yueyao stared at him in disbelief. She never expected that such a high and mighty god would say such childish words.

He glanced at her lightly and turned to leave the lamp hall. Shen Yueyao gave him the money, took his lamp, said a few words casually, and followed him.

"What happened? Wasn't he fine just now?"

He said coldly: "Return to the palace."

"The lights haven't been turned on yet."

Seeing that he was angry, she knew there was no hope. She reflected on herself and wondered what she had said to upset him.

So hard to take care of!

It’s better to talk less in front of him in the future.

Seeing her silent all the way in the carriage, I thought she was a little sad because she didn't go to light the lanterns.

He glanced at the two small lights beside her, and was slightly startled when he saw what was written on the silk lamp.

After a while, Fang said, "Go light the lanterns."
