“That is why, I will honestly say, I hope you don’t mind, Initially I thought that towards your wife, you are sincere, but seems like it is just so so.”
Her tone made Ji Wu Jiu feel very uncomfortable after hearing it, he stood up “Farewell”
“Goodbye Gentlemen” After Hong Yun lead him out, she closed the door and without giving any face she said “Men!”
JI Wu Jiu returned to the palace in deep thoughts. Ever since he found out the reason behind Ye Zhen Zhen’s weird disease, he felt that his heart is feeling a weird sourness, it does not seem like it was happiness but it definitely was not hatred as well. When he thought of how Ye Zhen Zhen does not like performing the bed business with him because he has too many women, or to say that Ye Zhen Zhen wishes that he will only have her alone, he felt a little surprised, but inside his heart he also felt a little sweet, it was like she was a pot of vinegar.
Towards Ye Zhen Zhen being like this, it was like she was naturally a pot of vinegar. Towards jealous woman, most men will not like them, but when Ye Zhen Zhen is like that, Ji Wu Jiu actually thinks that she is very cute.
Ji Wu Jiu was in a huge dilemma. If he wants to make love with Ye Zhen Zhen, he will need to give up the rest of the other women, he himself felt that this was not really possible. But if not that way, he will never be able to touch Ye Zhen Zhen, this made him felt even worst.
Thinking about it again, because of Ye Zhen Zhen, he has been a monk for quite some time already, and he is getting more comfortable with this situation, which made him feel more in dilemma.
Therefore that night, the emperor did not go to Kun Ning Palace, but stayed at Gan Qing Palace alone.
The next day was the 15th day of the lunar new year, the whole capital was filled with lanterns, full of people bustling around, and quite a lot of brave young ladies and gentlemen were walking next to each other on the streets, chatting and joking together. The sky was filled with fireworks.
Ji Wu Jiu and Ye Zhen Zhen also came out of the palace to stroll around. Ye Zhen Zhen rarely comes out of the palace, and fell in love with almost everything she sees, things to eat, to play, were all drooped onto Wang You Cai and Feng You De, and she was still not satisfied. There were many people on the streets, shoulders brushing againsts one another, Ji Wu Jiu was afraid she will get lost in the crowd, so he has been holding her hands all along, he also did not want other men to touch her, so he place held her shoulders to him as well, almost pulling her into his chest.
On this day, there would definitely be the lantern riddle games. At the north side of the capital, there was a stage for lantern riddle games, it was organized by a rich merchant from the capital, he was very generous and the winning prizes made many people drool. The level of the riddles are separated into 4 from easy to hard, for the hard levels, you would need to place a wager, and if you got it the prize would be very satisfying, for the lower levels, you would not be required to place any wager, but of course the gifts are not as nice as the hard level. The emperor and empress was standing in front of the stage, guessing the lantern riddles, but who knew that they would almost win away everything that the store has, making the merchant’s face paled, thinking that he would be in a huge loss this rime. To be honest, what items has Ye Zhen Zhen never seen before, she didn’t really want those gifts anyway, so she only chose a few nicer ones and returned the rest. So even after winning away their items, the merchant still need to thank them a lot.
Ji Wu Jiu only took a pair of fish jades, the first is actually linked to one another, but it can be separated, there is a red string at the fish’s mouth to be placed on the waist as an ornament. Ji Wu Jiu separated the two fishes, placed one on himself and another he gave to Ye Zhen Zhen, but afraid that she will not wear it, so he personally tied the fish on to her waist. He accidently touched her sensitive part of her waist that made Ye Zhen Zhen laughed out loud. Su Yue, Wang You Cai and Feng You De who was standing beside them, had the same thought in mind: This is a public place!
They strolled till the river side, here there were people releasing the Kong Ming Lantern. Su Yue bought a lot, Ye Zhen Zhen and Ji Wu Jiu were releasing them by the river side together. The Kong Ming Lantern is made with a layer of thin red paper, it is not in a shape of the normal lanterns, but it is a big headed round shape, after lighting the fire inside, the whole lantern will admit a bright orange light, looking almost like a giant orange. Holding on to the lantern by the river side, Ye Zhen Zhen released it and looked at it slowly going up the sky, thinking that it looks like a firework that will never vanish.
Ye Zhen Zhen subconsciously waved her hands at it.
Ji Wu Jiu was holding the Kong Ming Lantern, but his eyes were at Ye Zhen Zhen. She was looking up now, her snow white face was lit with a warm orange light, her side profile very gentle, her lips opened half, her eyes bright like no other, without blinking looking at the lantern that was going further and further, her expression was in an innocent daze although her gaze does not appear so.
Ji Wu Jiu’s heart suddenly shook, it seems like the whole world has left him like the retreating water tides, as for her, red as fire, bright as light, gentle as mist, making him feel a numerous feelings in his heart at the same time.
Ji Wu Jiu subconsciously holds on to his chest, and looked at Ye Zhen Zhen like a fool.
Ye Zhen Zhen turned and saw his expression, although in a daze his eyes were extra ordinarily bright, so she smiled at him “You are not playing?”
Ji Wu Jiu threw away the lantern in his hands, walked towards her and held both of her hands in his.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Zhen Zhen looked at him.
Ji Wu Jiu did not answer. He looked down, and his lips were already gently placed onto her forehead, both of his eyes closed, with his long eyelashes vibrating softly.
The lantern on the floor rolled a few times, and struggled to fly up at the end, passing by the both of their faces, and flew up to the sky.
The night sky was suddenly filled with thousands of fireworks, with all sorts of colours, almost lighting up half the sky.
