Chapter 123: Ancestor, it’s finally time to take a break…
This was what Jiang Li and Li Jinyuan saw when they came down from upstairs.
The warm yellow sunset shone on the three of them, and it felt like the world was beautiful for a moment.
"What are you playing at?"
Lin Qingtang was already exhausted and out of breath, but his eyes lit up the moment he saw Jiang Li.
"Li Li! Quick! Help me catch this brat!"
Lin Ci looked back and saw that he was attacked from both sides.
"Wait! You're cheating!"
The boy obviously forgot who was hiding behind others and playing tricks.
"Humph!"
Watching the brother and sister bickering, Jiang Li couldn't help but lean against the door frame and laugh happily.
"Okay, stop messing around. If we don't leave now, we'll be late."
Today's Fishing Lantern Festival is the most important festival for the people of Licheng, so there will definitely be an unprecedented number of people on the streets. If you don't go early, you probably won't be able to see the bonfire by the river.
"That's right, I won't argue with you anymore, let's get going!"
"you!"
Lin Qingtang stomped his feet in anger, but in the end he couldn't even catch up with Lin Ci's butt.
……
The streets, which are usually deserted, are now crowded with people.
Not only are all the surrounding businesses open, but many small stalls are also neatly set out.
Jiang Li and Lin Qingtang walked hand in hand among the crowd, and couldn't help but take a look at every stall they passed by.
Li Jinyuan followed the girl not too far away, and there was only a hint of red in his dark phoenix eyes.
The girl wore a long red dress with a cloud pattern, and a large satin fox fur cloak. The lapels were trimmed with soft white fox fur. Her delicate face touched the fur, which gently brushed against her chin, accentuating her jade-like complexion. Her eyebrows were only slightly drawn, but her eyes were full of life, and her gaze was full of charm.
Her long black hair was tied up in a stunning bun, with a red gold hairpin inserted on each side. Her face was as white as jade and she was heavily made up. She looked like the resurrected Daji, captivating everyone.
"Pear."
Li Jinyuan couldn't help but call her softly. His little fox was so breathtakingly beautiful.
As soon as he saw that the eyes of people around him could not help but fall on her, he felt that someone was boldly coveting his jewelry.
The man pursed his lips tightly. In a place where no one could see, his dark eyes were filled with a strong possessiveness. His jawline was tense, as if he really wanted to hide her...
Jiang Li heard someone calling her, and then she and Lin Qingtang glanced sideways.
The tall figure that came into view was standing alone not far away, with an inexplicable look of pity on his stern face.
Jiang Li's heart softened. Did she neglect him?
Lin Qingtang looked at the Third Prince's "resentful" expression and his breathing stopped.
Oh my god... why did she feel that the Third Prince was like a bullied young wife in front of Lili.
Shocked by his own thoughts, Lin Qingtang immediately shook his head in fear, then wisely pushed Jiang Li towards the man, his tone retreating.
"Lili, go and accompany the prince for a walk. I'll go find Lin Ci and the others!"
"Eh……"
Before Jiang Li could finish her words, Lin Qingtang had already disappeared in the crowd.
Jiang Li couldn't help but frown and worry. There were so many people around, she didn't want to get lost.
Li Jinyuan curled his lips in great joy at Lin Qingtang's "accomplishment".
His big hands couldn't wait to put their arms around the girl's waist, and he felt the soft touch of the cloak in his palms. At this moment, he felt that his heart, which had been empty for a long time, was filled up again.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Li stretched out her arms and hugged him back, her fair chin resting on his chest, her tone coquettish.
Li Jinyuan looked at her little face and felt his heart soften. He couldn't help but lower his head and place a kiss on her smooth forehead.
"A little bit. Lili has been ignoring me..."
The man spoke his true feelings honestly, with a resentful look in his eyes, which made Jiang Li feel a little guilty.
The girl raised her hand and rubbed his cheek, as if comforting a lost puppy.
"Don't be sad, I'm with you now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took Li Jinyuan's arm, raised her little face and smiled brightly at him, and continued shopping.
Along the way, the girl was always attracted by some strange little gadgets, or some roadside snacks that made her unable to walk.
The two of them hadn't walked far when Li Jinyuan's left and right hands were almost full.
Jiang Li frowned and bit off the last second piece of candied haws, then puffed up her cheeks and moved closer to Li Jinyuan.
"You can eat the last one, it's too sweet."
The man's expression did not change. Even though he didn't like sweets, he still ate the candied haws that his wife personally fed to him.
Jiang Li threw away the stick with satisfaction and skipped back to Li Jinyuan.
The beautiful black almond-shaped eyes were shining all night, and it was obvious that the girl was in a good mood.
"Are you heavy? How about I help you carry some?"
Li Jinyuan shook his head, a smile still lingering on his thin lips.
If he had been asked to accompany someone shopping and carry things a year ago, he would definitely not agree to do such a boring thing.
But he actually enjoyed helping his wife carry things and accompanying her shopping.
Even if she wanted to buy the entire street, he would find a way to transport the things back to the Three Princes' Palace for her.
"I'm not tired. I don't need Li Li Na."
"OK then."
Jiang Li was just being polite, but after being rejected by him, her attention was attracted by another stall.
Seeing that she was about to run out like a little fox, Li Jinyuan immediately freed up a hand and went forward to hold her.
"Be good, there are too many people here, don't run around."
"Oh... let's go there and take a look!"
"it is good."
……
The three people on the other side unknowingly walked into a teahouse.
Lin Qingtang hadn't had such a great time shopping for a long time, and at this moment he felt a slight pain in his ankle.
"Let's go to the teahouse and rest for a while. The bonfire party won't start for quite a while."
"Ancestor, Ancestor, it's finally time for you to take a break..."
Lin Ci was almost exhausted. Both his hands were full of things, and he no longer had the high spirits he had before going out.
The girl looked back at him and couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"With your physique, you're leading troops into battle, but you can't even walk! You're such a loser..."
Lin Ci felt humiliated and was so angry that he wanted to throw everything in his hands at her face.
She walks with such a breeze! But she doesn't even notice how much weight they are carrying!
(〝▼plate▼)
"How dare you criticize me? Even Camel would be exhausted from shopping with you! Look at all the things you bought. Didn't you just pick one up yourself?"
"Look at Brother Changfeng! You've tortured him to death!"
Lin Qingtang choked in his throat, then followed the boy's gaze.
At this time, Chu Changxuan was not much better off than Lin Ci. His left and right hands were full of things. His gentle face was a little pale, and his mouth was chapped with fatigue.
"Haha, I'm so sorry, I didn't stop in time and bought too many things..."
"Come on! Let me carry some..."
Lin Qingtang awkwardly wanted to take something from Chu Changxun, but the man turned away slightly and refused.
"It's okay, I'll get it. Just go into the teahouse and rest for a while."
"No problem! It's my treat today!"
Lin Qingtang quickly asked the waiter to find a private seat for the three of them. As soon as they sat down, Lin Ci couldn't help but sigh with comfort.
He seemed to be alive again...
