"I thought you were asleep." The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were soft, and under the moonlight, it was very different from any other time.

Moreover, this is the first time that he uses the word "you" to replace the nickname of Shen Ke.

The black hair was fluttering around his cheeks due to the breeze, and the cold and handsome eyebrows seemed to be disintegrating, making people intoxicated.

"I didn't sleep." Shen Ke fumbled with the fox mask on his face, his white fingers were pink and charming, and the corners of his charming lips were slightly raised: "Want to go out to play?"

When she said this, she glanced outside the wall with a smile in her eyes.

At this moment, there is no tug-of-war about the identities of the courtier and the noble concubine, no mutual testing and guessing, some are just right, and some are just collisions of souls.

Of course Yan Qingzhou accepted it happily.

After all, the moonlight tonight is really beautiful.

Even the bright person in front of me... seems to be getting closer and closer.

The two of them left the house together without any attendants.

I don’t know what day it was outside, but it was extremely lively, and there was even a lantern festival held by the people.

The Queen Mother's eyeliner has been completely destroyed, and the Emperor is still busy tonight dealing with the imperial edict that will be announced tomorrow, so Shen Ke is walking on the streets today, wearing a mask on his face, and even the wind smells of freedom.

Yan Qingzhou was in a good mood today, and Shen Ke had a clear understanding.

He has been following Shen Ke today. He paid for everything Shen Ke wanted to eat. He also paid for anything Shen Ke wanted.

He gave today's Shen Ke great indulgence.

Even when the flower seller called Shen Ke "your wife", Yan Qingzhou's expression did not change, but he looked at Shen Ke slightly, as if he wanted to observe her reaction.

But when he saw that Shen Ke's face looked normal, he also looked gentle and bought all the flowers in the child's hands.

Then he gave them all to Shen Ke.

Shen Ke took the flower casually, brushed the petals one by one with her slender fingers, and had a beautiful smile on her lips:

"Master Yan is really rich and powerful."

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and smelled the fragrance among the flowers.

The most important thing is the tenderness of bowing one's head.

In Yan Qingzhou's sight, surrounded by flowers, Shen Ke's delicate profile was shadowy and even more charming than that cluster of flowers.

Flowers match beauty, nothing more than that.

Hearing Shen Ke's words, Yan Qingzhou smiled and said nothing. He didn't know whether he really wanted to buy flowers or because of the child's words that prompted him to pay.

But after all, he kept these true words tightly in his heart and did not reveal even a single bit.

The two finally walked all the way to the Lantern Festival.

There were even vendors holding lantern riddle guessing activities.

Shen Ke was not interested in this kind of activity, but she saw a small lamp hanging on the lantern festival. It was very exquisitely made. The most valuable thing was that it was shaped like a little fox, which was very similar to the little fox on her mask.

Shen Ke liked it very much, so he asked the stall owner: "Boss, how do you sell this lamp?"

As she said that, she pointed to the little fox lamp that she was interested in.

It's not that she hasn't experienced ancient planes, but the lanterns used to guess lantern riddles are usually bunny rabbits, and there are relatively few foxes, let alone a fox with a mask similar to hers.

Shen Ke really likes it.

The boss suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked around, he saw that Shen Ke was so beautiful wearing a mask that the boss was shocked at first glance.

Yan Qingzhou noticed his reaction to being stunned by the beauty. He frowned slightly, and his gentle temperament suddenly became very cold, and he looked at the stall owner tightly.

The stall owner felt a cold gaze looking at him, a chill ran down his spine, and he reacted instantly.

He smiled warmly and said: "Girl, I'm sorry, all the lights in our booth need to be obtained by guessing riddles, and they are not sold separately!"

After a pause, he continued to smile and said: "Girl, your vision is really right. This lamp is the most beautiful lamp we have here, and it goes well with your mask!"

This means that if Shen Ke wants it, there is no other way but to guess lantern riddles.

But Shen Ke doesn't have many shortcomings, and guessing lantern riddles is one of them.

There was a hint of regret in her eyes, and just as she was about to say no, Yan Qingzhou's calm voice sounded next to her:

"good."

With that said, he stepped forward and stood next to Shen Ke: "How do you guess?"

It was also at this time that the boss discovered that there was a talented young man standing behind Shen Ke. He grinned and said attentively: "This way, please."

Yan Qingzhou was the number one scholar in the dynasty. When many old officials saw his talent and unparalleled handsomeness, they all told him that it would be better to let Yan Qingzhou be the top pick.

But he was really talented in writing. He answered questions fluently in the hall, and his strategies were unparalleled in the world.

Chu Xun really couldn't bear to bury such a talent, so he appointed him as the number one scholar in the dynasty.

Of course, the literary talents of the current champion were no problem when faced with small lantern riddles. It didn't take long for the boss to take down the fox lantern and give it to Shen Ke.

The boss smiled brightly and said auspicious words: "Girl, put it away, the gentleman is really talented in literature, the two of them are really talented and handsome, I wish you both a happy and beautiful life!"

Obviously, this person regards Shen Ke and Yan Qingzhou as husband and wife again.

But this time Shen Ke was not as silent as before.

Instead, he smiled and took the little fox lantern in his hand, looked at it carefully and said with a smile:

"Thank you, I will."

Will?

Is it better to put away the fox lantern, or is it the two of them who are in harmony with each other?

Yan Qingzhou had these two thoughts in his mind and turned his head to look at Shen Ke.

The woman's beautiful face was intoxicating, and he felt that he was completely drunk tonight.

The two of them ended up wandering around in the street. At this moment, they were not powerful chief ministers and concubines, they looked like ordinary men and women, enjoying the excitement in the street.

It was very late, Shen Ke and Yan Qingzhou bought two bottles of plum wine from the last vendor, and drank while returning home.

In the dead of night in the Shouxing Mansion, no one was watching the corridors.

Or maybe someone was guarding the place, but it felt like they didn't recognize the person coming and didn't come out.

This plum wine is so intoxicating.

Seeing that he was about to reach the courtyard of the guest room, Shen Ke felt that everything in front of him gradually became overlapping, and his head began to feel dizzy.

Finally reaching the door, Shen Ke took the wine and lamp and turned his head, his eyes even more charming under the influence of alcohol:

"Yan Qingzhou..." Her voice was delicate and soft, as if a woman was calling her beloved.

Yan Qingzhou looked at her with clear eyes, quietly waiting for her next words.

"Am I beautiful?" In her daze, she didn't know why, but she actually picked up the hem of her skirt and spun it around.

Under the bright moonlight, she looked like a fox fairy under the moon, exactly the same as the day we first met her.

The throbbing in Yan Qingzhou's heart was exactly the same.

"beautiful."

After a pause, he whispered.

Almost uncontrollably, his pupils flashed, and at the moment when the woman in front of him finally couldn't bear the drunkenness and fell down, he grabbed the woman's slender waist and pulled her tightly into his arms.

He carried the woman into the yard.
