Ye Li looked at the lantern in her hand, then looked at the other lantern on the side. She pursed her lips and smiled. She took the brush and began to draw on the other lantern. She clearly took longer than Mo Xiuyao, but Mo Xiuyao did not mind. He patiently stood to the side and waited for her to finish. When Ye Li handed the finished lantern to him, Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows in surprise. On the lantern, there was a man holding a spear and riding a horse with an extraordinary aura. Ye Li did not draw many words like Mo Xiuyao did. The only thing on the painting was the man on the horse with an imposing aura like a god of war. This was the scene outside Yonglin City that day. Mo Xiuyao looked at the lantern in his hand, the smile on his face deepened. "Was I like this in Li's eyes at that time?"
Ye Li blushed slightly. She picked up her own beautiful lantern, "My painting is not as vivid as gongzi's. If you don't like it, then forget it."
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said: "How could I not like it? I will definitely keep it well." Looking at the person on the lantern, Mo Xiuyao's eyes were filled with joy. He never knew that in Ah Li's eyes, he had such an extraordinary aura and sharp aura.
After taking out some money to pay the old man who was watching the two of them draw their own lanterns, Mo Xiuyao once again held Ye Li's hand and walked forward. The old man who was lost in thought looked down at the money in his hand that was worth an entire night of buying lanterns. His eyes flashed as he suddenly thought of something. His expression became excited. "It's... it's..." In the end, he did not say what it was. The old man looked at the pair of figures that were gradually disappearing into the distance. A few years ago, there was also a high-spirited youth in embroidered clothes. Every month, he would come here to buy lanterns. But every time, the youth would only pick the most ordinary and worst one. But every time, he would give him enough money to buy a good lantern. After a long time, he realized that the young man had chosen the worst one because he was young and alone. He was worried that the bad ones wouldn't sell. However, that youth from a few years ago had never appeared again …
Both of them had good hearing and extraordinary skills. Naturally, they heard the old man's mutterings after taking a few steps. Ye Li glanced at Mo Xiuyao and said with a smile, "Prince, your identity has been seen through." Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly, "It's nothing. I used to come here often, but I didn't expect that old mister to recognize me." Mo Xiuyao's life could be said to have been divided by the time he was seventeen years old. From then on, he was in two completely different directions. If they weren't familiar with each other, it would be difficult to connect the two of them together. Ye Li lowered her head to look at the freshly painted lantern in her hand, which was still emitting the fragrance of ink, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
The two of them carried lanterns and strolled leisurely along the streets with many other young men and women. Their extraordinary appearance and temperament attracted many curious and envious gazes, but compared to the probing and calculating gazes of the nobles in the palace, it made them feel much better. Ye Li walked as she curiously looked at the various small stalls on both sides of the street. The things sold there weren't all that good. They were all for the common people. Although they were simple and unadorned, they made people feel closer to nature. Mo Xiuyao smiled as he pulled Ye Li to a stall selling jewelry, rouge, and face powder. The small stall naturally didn't have anything valuable. The middle-aged couple who set up the stall could see that the man and woman in front of them were not ordinary people. Although they might not be interested in their things, they still tried to sell them.
Mo Xiuyao picked up an elegant pearl hairpin and looked at Ye Li. He shook his head and put it back.
A slender hand picked up the hairpin again and met Mo Xiuyao's eyes. Ye Li raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
Mo Xiuyao sighed softly and said, "This hairpin will only be overshadowed by Li. Li is suited for the brightest pearls. A few days ago, I ordered some luminous pearls from Fenghua Tower. Tomorrow, let's go see what style you like, Li. " Ye Li held the simple hairpin in her hand and looked at it. She smiled and said, "Even if you aren't afraid that I will squander all your family's wealth, I'm afraid that the noble ladies in Jing will kill me with their gazes." Fenghua Tower's jewelry was famous in the Chu capital for being expensive. Even if the noble ladies had a few pieces, it would be worth showing off. But others did not know, but Ye Li knew. Ever since her wedding, almost all of her jewelry had been ordered from Fenghua Tower. It was no wonder that even though Ye Li rarely went out and would try to choose some low-key jewelry, there were still many people who would pay attention to the jewelry she wore.
"If you can squander all your family's wealth just by buying a few pieces of jewelry, then it can only be said that our family's wealth is too thin." Mo Xiuyao said with a smile. He took the hairpin from Ye Li's hand and gently put it on for her. He said softly, "I hope that Li gets the best."
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "If you like it, then it's the best. If you don't like it, then it's worthless no matter how good it is. "
A faint smile flashed through Mo Xiuyao's eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Then does Li Li like it?" It was just a simple 'like'. She didn't know if he was talking about the hairpin or something else. Ye Li blushed slightly. She turned her face and said in a low voice, "It's not bad." After paying, they listened to the compliments of the couple who had set up the stall. The two of them did not pay it any mind. They held hands and turned to leave. As they walked, Mo Xiuyao turned his head to look at the woman next to him. The inconspicuous pearl hairpin seemed to sparkle with a moving light in her black hair.
"What's going on over there?" Ye Li looked ahead. There was a lot of noise in that direction. Most of the people were moving in that direction. At a glance, she could only see a dense crowd. Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "There's probably something going on. Let's go take a look and we'll know." Handing the two lanterns to the person following behind them, Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li towards the crowd. Ye Li turned her head to look at the unfamiliar guard holding the two lanterns. She frowned and said, "I almost forgot. Ever since I came back, I haven't seen Ah Jin." Ah Jin had always been a man of few words. Even when he was at Mo Xiuyao's side, he was expressionless as he pushed the wheelchair. Now that Mo Xiuyao's legs were fine, Ah Jin seemed to have been forgotten.
Mo Xiuyao turned his head and said with a smile, "I told him to do something else. He's grown up. He can't always be by my side as a guard. " Ye Li nodded. Ah Jin was Chief Steward Mo's nephew. Chief Steward Mo had worked hard for the wang fu and had no children. Ah Jin's parents had also died for the Prince Ding Mansion. Mo Xiuyao should take extra care of Ah Jin.
After squeezing into the crowd, they saw that there was a stage set up at the corner of the street. The stage was decorated with colorful satin, making it look bright and eye-catching. There was no one on the stage, but the crowd below the stage was clearly excited. Ye Li looked at the middle aged man beside her whose face was red with excitement. She asked softly, "What's going on here?" The middle aged man turned his head and saw a beautiful woman standing beside him. He couldn't help but be surprised. He said with a pleasant expression, "The number one courtesan in the capital, Miss Yao Ji, is going to dance here. And she's going to throw the embroidered ball …" Halfway through, he seemed to remember that the person in front of him was a beautiful woman. The man's face turned red and he didn't say much. Even though he didn't say it clearly, it didn't stop Ye Li from understanding. Slightly surprised, Ye Li turned her head to look at Mo Xiuyao in confusion and asked, "The Miss Yao he's talking about … isn't the one I know?"
