The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 934
“Releasing lanterns in lake?” Ji Xingyun frowned and said with a little wonder: “Isn't that a custom in Bei Country? What in Shengdu also..”.
Oi! I am an article!
“Yes, it is also very popular in Shengdu. Because by releasing the lantern on the lake it can make a wish, it is a kind of object used to convey longing for family or friends who are missed.”
After Ji Xingyun listened to the remark, she squinted her eyes and smiled: “Is it effective?” That smile was so clear and so handsome.
Oi! I am an article!
In his memories, this man only showed a grim or wary expression to himself, Ye Wushuang had never seen him smile.
But this smile before him instead made Ye Wushuang change her gaze towards him.
Right now, Ye Wushuang also smiled back at him: “Although not so effective but at least able to entertain.”
“Really?” Ji Xingyun seemed to be affected by Ye Wushuang's smile, she then replied in disbelief.
Oi! I am an article!
Ye Wushuang nodded and said: “Ya. Right too, Emperor, why did you come here? Why is there no group by your side?”
“After I had finished my official duties, I then enjoyed the moon in the garden alone, suddenly seeing the candlelight in the lake that was not far away, so I asked people to come here to see, The eunuch who reported said that you are here to release the lantern, therefore I came here to see.”
That tolerant tone in no way made Ye Wushuang feel relaxed.
Instead Ye Wushuang was even very nervous and said: “I've been bothering the Emperor, please the Emperor forgive me.”
Ji Xingyun waved her clothes sleeve with a flat face look: “No problem, it is quite interesting to see how you release the lantern.”
“Why? Did the Emperor never release a lantern on the lake?”
“So...” Ye Wushuang pretended to sigh regretfully.
“Born in the royal family, my father never let us do things done by ordinary people.”
“I can understand.”
“No, you cannot understand.” Ji Xingyun interrupted, her tone a little cold: “Dad has so many children, even Dad can't remember all the names of his children. But so many Princes and Daughters have to share a Father's love instead. For the sake of getting more, since childhood I and they had to learn how to please such a superior father. In order for Father to see us, we did not hesitate to take the steep road, we were at that moment, what we did was not something you could imagine.”
How could Ye Wushuang not have thought of that? Even though he was not empathetic, but in modern times Ye Wushuang often watched royal dramas like this. For the sake of the throne and affection, Wu Zetian killed his son and daughter, Li Shimin killed his own brother, Emperor Yang of Sui killed his father, killed his brother, raped his brother-in-law, there are so many examples.
But all this, Ye Wushuang naturally could not say it, could only pretend not to know.
Seeing Ye Wushuang not speaking, the atmosphere became a little dull.
Ji Xingyun saved back her emotions before finally returning to her previous calm, she then said: “Wushuang, do you like life in Palace?”
Ye Wushuang's eyes glittered, her eyelashes shook lightly, Ye Wushuang said elegantly: “Don't like it!”
This answer is somewhat unexpected. His handsome face seemed to be enveloped by a dark light at night.
After a long time, Ji Xingyun finally laughed long and said: “Ye Wushuang, you said so frankly, aren't you afraid of making me unhappy?”
Ye Wushuang gazed towards the distance lightly, her beautiful face filled with courage: “Instead of making you unhappy, I would rather not commit a crime for lying to the Emperor.”
“But you can lie to me, you love this place.”
“If the Emperor wants to listen to a lie, I don't mind lying to you.”
