　　The third young lady hired Jun Xing, promised to be a husband, the king of love and care of the two, the wedding is not willing to simplify, one by one, from the beginning of the preparations, the date is set in February of the next year. 　　Speaking of this Wangfu three miss, really no daughter of the time that style, town day upside down with Ren Butler behind the inch, people do what are interested in, like a storage food winter squirrels, every day the top priority is to steal those who see to touch the joy of saving up. 　　The king of the country is not interested in her ambition, called Xiao Lin to let her increase the homework, but also want her every day to practice riding and shooting for an hour. 　　Xiaoxiao now has Lang Wanzifu, but also do not feel that the mother king harsh, but regret that there is not enough time, can not let her enjoy the world of two people. 　　Junxing, however, is busier than usual. One is approaching the end of the year, the royal house of all things to clear the accounts one by one, and to prepare for the holiday matters; Secondly, also really afraid of a few points of Xiaoxiao's pestering energy, but also worried that she delayed her studies, so every time Xiaoxiao come to find him, will see him have a bunch of things to do in the busy. 　　This day Xiaoxiao stole free time, and came to the account room to find him. But see him buried in a pile of books inside, give her a cup of tea to drink, then no longer care about her. 　　Xiaoxiao sitting on the opposite side of the table, holding a cup of tea, with the usual general colorful and gushing about her otherworldly insights. The rosewood chair under the seat is high and hard, she hangs her feet, twisting and turning, sitting extremely restless. 　　Jun Xing is not lifting his head, sitting upright, page after page of account books to look at, the whole house in the second half of the accounts are in the eye. 　　He did not have to pay attention to her, only in the smile in the sky suddenly stopped to drink water or forget the words at a moment, ordered the servant to add water for her, nodded his head and said "yes", so that a little bit of a catch phrase, the smile and immediately spoke with a hundred percent of the spirit. 　　But this day, Xiaoxiao only spoke for a while, and then lost her concentration several times. 　　Jun Xing noticed, looked up at her, saw her holding a cup of tea, eyes far away. 　　After half a day, back to God, a glance to see Junxing in looking at her, hand shook violently, raw the official kiln colorful small cover cup to fall. 　　Xiaoxiao jumped up and said anxiously, "I'm really sorry for dropping your cup." 　　Jun walked over, took a piece of towel to wipe her hands, frowned and said, "Did you burn it? What are you thinking about that you are so lost in thought?" 　　Xiaoxiao looked at him sheepishly, and laughed: "Nothing, nothing, just dropped your favorite cup, I really don't know how to compensate you." 　　Jun Xing smiled faintly, "This is not the only thing that hasn't been compensated for, it's just a cup, so why be in a hurry." 　　Xiaoxiao knew that he was referring to his coral penannular ring, face red, busy said: "I have let someone help to repair up, in the future, if you come across the same, will certainly find to match." 　　"It is not necessary, one is also very good." Jun Xing laughed blandly, "Even if there is a new one, it is not the one that matches the original one, so why bother to dismantle that one." 　　Xiaoxiao remembered that there are also said this outside, said that the royal family's young lady hired only half a pair of penannular ring, more Junxing look down on the intention. He is also since childhood without parents, in the royal family foster grown up, no relatives have no support, parents also have nothing to leave him. Now his dowry is 娬 king specially sympathetic, left him a good thing, on the contrary, in their own hands bad. 　　Although his tone is calm, but his heart is always concerned about it. 　　Can not help but eyes red, whispered: "I just sorry you." 　　"Good how so?" Jun Xing shook his head, "I really don't mind, think wearing a one-sided better look." Said glancing at the small servant next to him not caring, sideways for her to see. 　　He knows that the lady just likes to stare at his side, and now that he sees that she is not happy, he specially puts down his stance to coax her. 　　Don't want to smile smile glanced at him, still sad brow, forced a smile, casually find a cause head and leave. 　　Jun Xing sat back in front of the case to look at the account book, only to feel that the lines of small block letters have become tadpoles, one by one in front of the swim over and over, but none of them are willing to swim into his eyes. 　　Always only he smacked Miss pestered tight, coaxed her to go first, there has not been such a she wants to go back, and remembered that just now she was apprehensive look, more and more assured. Immediately put the account book, out to find Miss. But realized that she went out of the house. 　　He chased out of the house, has not seen her trail. Then along the route of her vegetarian daily walk to find. 　　In the bazaar turned around twice but still no one, is beginning to be anxious, but saw that person from the horizontal alley a small silver store came out. Originally still hanging smile, out of the smile is gone, head down, a lost look. 　　He followed her, watched her buy a thin wooden board, and bought colored paper, candles, wooden board clamped under the armpit, paper and candles in the hand, the direction to go is the river. 　　He thought for a moment, turned around, went to buy some things, and then came back to the river. 　　This time far away to see that person casually sitting on the ground near the river, just bought the things spread out on the ground, she slightly bent her head, seriously fiddling with something. 　　When the sun is setting, the green stone bridge is like a string of clear moon reflecting the blue ripples of the river, both sides of the leaves have been half-fallen willows gracefully, light sunlight cut through the mist, warm yellow halo shone on the person, from the hair to the clothes, are melting and exudes a sense of warmth. 　　It is that far away from watching, do not have to talk, do not have to have any action, will also feel a lazy warmth from the body. 　　When he walked over, his footsteps were light and swift, afraid of waking up the rare silence of this moment. 　　Xiaoxiao, however, folded the colored paper into the shape of lotus petals and glued it piece by piece to the top of the thin cut pieces of wood, making a lotus flower lamp. 　　Jun Xing watched for a while and softly asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you need help?" 　　Xiaoxiao turned back with a huff, a trace of trepidation flashing across her face. 　　"Did it scare you?" 　　"No......" replied grudgingly, while hiding the object she was holding behind her back. 　　"Today is not the Mid-Yuan Festival." Jun Xing smiled faintly, lifted up his robe and sat on the bank as well. 　　Smiling, knowing that he had already seen him making something, embarrassedly took out the hidden object and said, "I just wanted to put up the lake lanterns though." 　　"Who do you ...... want to lead the way for?" 　　Junxing hesitated for a while, looked at the sparkling golden light of the river, and gently asked. 　　At that time, there was the custom of releasing lake lanterns on the Mid-Yuan Festival. 　　Mid-Yuan example of the bon, there are performances of rice-planting songs, lions and other acrobatics, the evening, along the river burning lamps. Many married men buy a boat for the bon to put a flame mouth, light the water to bet on the winners and losers. This light is called the lake lamp, is made of colored paper on a small board in the shape of a lotus flower, in the point of the candle, also known as the "water and drought lights. 　　Legend has it that the lights are put on the water for the dead souls to lead the way, there are also people in the lights placed on the fruit snacks, Road and the ancestors to send sacrifices. It is Junxing now have this question. 　　Xiaoxiao silent, face look gloomy. 　　Jun Xing thought that she may remember a deceased ancestor, heart sad, then said: "This lamp to wait until the night to put, later I help you do, do not have to be anxious." Said took out a hand carrying a oil paper bag: "First eat something, don't starve." 　　The paper bag opened, is he just bought the bun pastry all kinds of food, are smiling smile day like a few kinds. 　　Xiaoxiao looked at the food, and then looked at him, the corners of her lips curled up, wanting to smile, but her eyes were red. 　　She refused to say, but Jun Xing did not ask, took a lotus seed paste bun and handed it to her, "This bun is still hot, eat it." 　　Xiaoxiao took the bun to her mouth and took a bite, chewed twice, and suddenly said, "I'm very sad." 　　Jun Xing's hand that was pleating the paper for her stopped, "Why?" 　　"Today is the day I came here, the eleventh year. I've been here for ten years and it's about to be my eleventh year." 　　Jun Xing skillfully pleated the colored paper in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he pleated a lotus petal and set it aside, picking up another piece of paper. "Still eager to go back, aren't you?" 　　He had known for a long time that there were many things in this world that he could not do anything about, but he did not know that this kind of thing happening to another person would make his heart ache like this. 　　He pleated the colored paper in his hand one by one, she wanted to use this lake lantern to send a letter to her family over there, right? I hope they can take her back. 　　Perhaps, in the beginning should not promise her, she ...... really should not be attached ah. 　　"Junxing, since you promised ...... me, I really feel happy, feel like I have never been so happy. But ...... when I think of my parents in the other world, I feel so guilty. Feeling how could I do that, leave them behind and be happy alone. I have a sense of guilt." 　　Jun Xing looked up in a daze, "Huh?" 　　"Remembering that I've been coming over here for eleven years, but I haven't done anything for them, and I don't know how to tell them that I'm still alive. Today I sought out a friend to say something, and he taught me to release the lake lantern, saying that it can communicate messages with my loved ones in the other world, which is why I'm here to make the lantern." 　　Over the past ten years, Xiaoxiao had never stopped thinking about her loved ones in the other world, and every time she did so, she would be extraordinarily sad. It was just that at that time, with Chang Yue by her side, she was afraid that he would worry, so she forced herself to suppress it and put on a smiling face. Gradually, she laughed more and more, and then she could suppress the emotion, and then she also felt that she could smile at it. 　　It's just that now that she's in the royal residence, there are no people around her who know these things about her. She and 娬 king although mother and daughter, but always fear her majesty, but also do not dare to reveal a little heart. 　　Repressed for a long time, to a special day, will be like pointing a fuse, negative emotions all clamor want to burst open. This time she has no one to talk to, no one needs her to pretend to smile, can no longer deceive themselves, like a wounded beast generally out to lick their wounds. 　　She was afraid to let the royal family see her like that, so she went to the silver store to find Yingxiao. Yingxiao see her bitter, set her a few words, know her heart disease, then teach her to go to the lake lanterns. 　　She didn't have any intention to do so, she just wanted to have something to do at least, but unexpectedly, she let Jun Xing find her while she was doing the lanterns. 　　Jun Xing was the one person in the world that she trusted the most besides Chang Yue, and she finally couldn't help but confide in him. 　　"It seems like there is nothing wrong with that." Jun Xing listened and inclined his head in thought, "And I have also heard a saying." 　　"Not only can the lake lanterns convey what you want to say to your loved ones, they can also convey your feelings over. If you are happy when you release the lanterns, your loved ones will be able to feel your happiness, but if you are sad, like you are now ......" 　　Looking at her, she shook her head and sighed, "If I were your parents, I would probably be very uneasy when I saw this expression on your face right now." 　　"Really, really?" 　　"That's for sure." Jun Xing smiled, "Your emotions, your every move, your nearest and dearest can sense them wherever they are. And you can likewise sense theirs. This method was taught to me by my mother, when she went on a journey with the King of the Bird, and before she set off, she pressed her hand to my heart and told me that I could feel my mother's peace by listening to the sound of my own heartbeat." 　　"I have tried this method for more than ten years, and it has always worked." 　　"But isn ...... your mother?" 　　"She is gone, but, she is alive and well here." Jun Xing pressed his right hand on his heart and looked at her with a faint smile, "And I often tell her so, I've had a good time too." 　　"Jun Xing ......," Xiaoxiao gazed at him dully, her narrowed eyes filled with watery mist. 　　Jun Xing also looked into those familiar eyes and was inadvertently sucked in. 　　Those seductive eyes, which were shadowed and filled with his shadow, as if they were going to suck him deep into that shimmering amber and keep him for a lifetime. An indefinable hot current slowly flowed out of his heart and trickled into his limbs. In a momentary trance, he saw his own face in those eyes grow larger and clearer. 　　Suddenly, Xiaoxiao inclined his head and subconsciously bit into the bun in his hand, "What a delicious bun, where did you buy it?" 　　"The house of Wang Da Niang at the entrance of the alley, can't you eat it?" He responded smoothly. 　　"Oh." Xiaoxiao eagerly took another bite. 　　Two people a hanging head to eat buns, a high head to look at the sky, both feel that this weather is really abnormal, are early winter season, how come still hot people sweating. 　　The two ate something, and then together in the river to make lake lanterns. 　　When it gets dark, they will light the candles in the lamps and put them into the river one by one. 　　The surface of the river was dotted with floating light, and the water rippled lightly, like a stunningly beautiful silk satin with golden flowers blooming on it. 　　Xiaoxiao folded her hands together, resting them against her chin, her eyes slightly closed, her mouth reciting words and praying in a low voice. 　　Jun Xing looked at her for a while, then turned his head to look at the lights on the river, his heart overflowing with a sense of peace and tranquility. 　　After a long while, Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and said, "I remember two lines of a poem: 'A bright moon is born on the sea, the sky is at the end of the world.' I think it is written better than anything else. Although the end of the world is not the end of the sky, no matter where you are, you can see the moon. When you see the moon, it reminds you that those people you miss are also looking at the moon, doing exactly the same thing, and that makes you feel close, like everyone is still around." 　　"What a great poem!" Jun Xing smiled, "The moon has its own fullness and roundness, just like life has its own ups and downs. When you are disappointed, you should take a look at the moon more often, and you will feel that the world is no different, so there is really no need to be overly concerned." 　　Xiaoxiao gave a "hmm" and said with a smile, "Do you know what I just said to mom and dad?" 　　"But conveying peace?" 　　"More than that, more than that." 　　"And ...... was it an agreement to return?" 　　"Not at all!" Smiley arched her eyebrows and said with a red face, "I told them ah, my daughter has now found a very good boyfriend." 　　"Boyfriend?" 　　"It means ...... prospective husband." 　　Junxing face a hot, attention to the river. After a long time, he suddenly laughed, "But I forgot to tell my parents, it's better to leave it for later." 　　"It's not too late to pray, the lamp hasn't drifted far yet." 　　"It's better to avoid it for now, lest they worry for me." Smiling slightly, "Married to a willful and confused young lady, I'm afraid I'll have to worry even about his wife's share." 　　Xiaoxiao froze for a moment before coming back to her senses, shouting, "Good, so it's a detriment to me in a roundabout way!" Raising his hand to give him a chestnut storm. 　　Jun Xing laughed and avoided it. 　　Xiaoxiao is a juvenile nature, Jun Xing is usually a serious, at this moment to see Xiaoxiao put down the heart, is also happy for her, at that moment the two will take advantage of the night on the embankment of the river chasing and playing up. 　　The river lights and shadows flicker, the embankment silhouettes laughing and joking. Lotus lamp point, smoke wave diffuse, silver moon shine, lovebirds drunk. 　　Precisely: not afraid of the floating life half dream short, a night free between heaven and earth.
