The banquet began, with people drinking and drinking, it was very lively.
While Wuming and Liu Hongyan were eating the delicacies on the table, a beautiful figure came from the side holding a wine glass. It was a woman of similar age to Liu Hongyan, who looked to be no more than two years older than Liu Hongyan.
"Are you Qimei's future husband? He looks really handsome. When we meet for the first time, I propose a toast to you." The woman raised her wine glass to Wuming, wanting to clink it with him.
Wuming didn't want to pay attention at first, but there were too many people present, and according to her, she was Liu Hongyan's sister, so it was hard to offend her.
Just when Wuming was about to pick up the wine glass and respond, Wuming's hand was held down by Liu Hongyan who was beside him. Wuming looked at Liu Hongyan as if he didn't understand, but Liu Hongyan didn't explain anything to him, she just picked up her wine glass and stood up.
"My future husband is a heavy drinker, so how about I, my little sister, toast to the Fifth Princess for him?" Liu Hongyan said and raised her wine glass towards the Fifth Princess.
The Fifth Princess smiled and said, "I am offering this glass of wine to your future husband. Isn't it bad for Seventh Sister to do this?" Although she was smiling, her words were filled with obvious malice.
"As I said, he is too drunk. If the Fifth Emperor Sister presses him again, he will be too aggressive." Liu Hongyan's words were plain, but she seemed very firm.
The exchange of words between the two attracted the attention of everyone present. Everyone stopped and looked at the two people who stood up.
"Ruyan, today is such a happy day, just sit back and sit back." Seeing the anxious atmosphere in the venue, the Great Emperor Liu Tianlin, who was sitting at the top, said to the Fifth Princess Liu Ruyan.
The voice was not very loud, but it carried a sense of majesty that could not be violated.
"Yes, Father." Seeing Liu Tianlin speak, Liu Ruyan did not dare to continue. Last time her people went to assassinate Liu Hongyan and returned without success. Although Liu Tianlin did not punish her, it does not mean that he will continue. Let her go.
After Liu Ruyan went back, Liu Hongyan also sat down, smiled at Wuming, leaned towards Wuming and leaned against his ear and said: "That's my Fifth Emperor Sister, it was her person who sent Zheng Qian to the army last time. Kill me."
Wu Ming knew clearly in his heart that she was the one who secretly planned to kill Liu Hongyan last time, but it happened to happen to her, causing her plan to go bankrupt.
But Liu Ruyan probably didn't know it was him. After all, Liu Hongyan had promised not to leak her.
Although the banquet had been interrupted for a while, it soon became lively again. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the fifth princess Liu Ruyan was hostile to Liu Hongyan, but no one dared to interfere in their affairs casually. After all, if a bad person , it may be a serious crime that implicates the nine tribes.
Just like Zheng Qian's miserable appearance in prison after he came back last time, everyone who saw him was trembling. He looked miserable and had several parts missing from his body.
In addition, the minister who was involved in the matter took poison and committed suicide after the incident was exposed. However, his family was not spared because of this. The entire family was beheaded. The involvement was so extensive that several princes and ministers were missing.
Time passed and the banquet was over soon. Liu Hongyan took the lead and asked Wuming to resign to Liu Tianlin.
But Wuming discovered that the place he went to after getting on the sedan was not Liu Hongyan's original princess mansion, but another place.
Soon the sedan arrived at a very remote courtyard. Liu Hongyan got out of the sedan with Wuming and walked into a small house nearby.
The interior of the house was very neat and tidy, and it looked like someone was cleaning it frequently. At this time, there was a person standing in the house, and it was Liu Hongyan's personal maid Xiaoru.
"Xiaoru, are you ready with everything I want you to prepare?" Liu Hongyan asked Xiaoru.
"Back to Princess, you're ready." Xiaoru replied, handing the two sets of clothes placed on the table behind her to Liu Hongyan and Wuming respectively.
After taking the clothes, Wuming wanted to ask something else, but Liu Hongyan looked at him with a pretty face and said, "Go to the next room to change clothes."
Wuming silently walked out of the room and went to the next door.
After Wuming changed his clothes, he looked at the stars at the door and waited for a while before seeing Liu Hongyan come out.
At this time, the clothes on both of them were very simple, no different from ordinary civilians. However, both of them had extraordinary looks and were different from ordinary people. The clothes on them looked very elegant.
"Let's go!" Liu Hongyan looked very happy, with crooked eyebrows and brisk steps.
With that said, he led Wuming to a door and knocked three times.
"Creak." The door opened with a creaking sound, "Seventh Princess." A eunuch leaned over and cupped his hand to Liu Hongyan.
"Well, no courtesy, you can go on your way."
"Thank you, princess." The little eunuch bowed and retreated into the darkness.
"This is the little eunuch I bribed to open the door for me at night so that I can sneak out and play." Liu Hongyan said.
Wuming found it funny. Although Liu Hongyan was a princess, she was no different from an ordinary woman of the same age.
After a while, Wuming followed Liu Hongyan and sneaked out of the palace. After walking out of the last door, Wuming looked back and realized that this was the door through which he met Liu Hongyan when he came out of the palace by mistake.
"Don't look at it! Let's go. If we go play, we won't have any more fun." Liu Hongyan took Wuming's hand and ran outside.
Liu Hongyan's hand was not big, but soft and very smooth when held, which made Wuming's body feel a little stiff, but she quickly adjusted her mentality and told herself that she couldn't just shake hands.
When the two came to the city, Wuming was shocked by the sight in front of him. At this time, the lights were brightly lit in Emperor Yan's capital, the streets were full of pedestrians, and there were several times more stalls than the last time the two of them visited.
"Today is the annual Autumn Lantern Festival. Every Autumn Lantern Festival is the most lively time in the Imperial Capital." As she said that, Liu Hongyan led Wuming towards the crowd. Wuming remembered the day when he first came to the Yan Imperial Capital. I have heard about this festival. Under the arrangement of Emperor Dayan, Liu Hongyan’s contest to recruit a bride was scheduled to take place on the Autumn Lantern Festival.
The two were walking and shopping, and soon Wuming helped Liu Hongyan hold many small toys. Liu Hongyan held a bunch of large candied haws in her hand and was eating them with relish.
"Hey, look how lively it is there." Liu Hongyan had just finished eating a candied haws when she saw dozens of people forming a large circle under a big tree. When the unknown two people passed by, they saw numerous figures surrounding them. The water is suffocating.
Liu Hongyan saw that there were so many people here blocking her and could not see what was inside, so she turned her eyes around
Looking around, he found the target after a while, tugged on Wuming's sleeves and said, "Let's go to that tree."
The corner of Wuming's mouth twitched. This princess really didn't stick to trivial matters. As a princess, she ran up the tree.
But looking at the Yan Shen she was looking forward to, Wuming couldn't refuse anything. When he walked to a tree that Liu Hongyan was looking forward to, Wuming jumped up to the tree first, and then stretched out his hand to pull Liu Hongyan up from the tree.
It was the winter moon now, and all the leaves on the trees had fallen off, which made it easier for them to see what was going on.
When the two of them looked at each other, they saw two men standing shirtless in the cold air, and a young man dressed normally staring at a stove. Something seemed to be heating in the stove. There was a flame coming out of it, and the temperature was very high. So that the men nearby would not feel the cold even if they were shirtless. All the men were holding a willow spoon in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.
What is this for? Not to mention unknown, even Liu Hongyan, a native of the imperial capital, didn't know about it.
The two men had almost seen enough people in the scene, so they asked the young man to scoop out some unknown liquid from the stove with a willow wooden spoon. The liquid turned red due to the high temperature in the stove, and light emanated from it.
When both of them were ready, they started running on both sides of the field, and finally ran towards the center of the field. When they were in the middle of the field, they both knocked the wooden sticks in their hands from bottom to top towards the willow spoon.
In an instant, two big trees appeared in the center of the field like a gathering of light and rain. The appearance of the light and rain illuminated the field and shocked everyone present. Even Liu Hongyan and Wuming on the trees were also stunned. This fire, trees and silver flowers attract.
However, splendor is always fleeting, and the scene disappears after a while, but the exclamations are still endless.
Obviously, the sudden blooming of fire trees and silver flowers will be the most unforgettable miracle in everyone's life.
Wuming was still in a daze thinking about the scene just now, when he felt something coming to his mouth. It was Liu Hongyan's candied haws. When Wuming looked down, he saw Liu Hongyan staring at him with a smile in her mouth.
Wuming did not refuse Liu Hongyan's kindness and bit off the last candied haws. The sweetness on the tip of his tongue seemed to make him forget the sorrow in his heart for a moment.
After Wuming finished the candied haws in his mouth, the people on the field had almost dispersed. Everyone who left was discussing how amazing Huoshu appeared just now.
"Let's go too. You go down first and then catch me." Liu Hongyan said to Wuming.
Wuming jumped down from the tree, and Liu Hongyan was naturally not worried about Wuming's dangerous move for ordinary people.
As early as the day the two met, Liu Hongyan knew that Wuming's hands were extraordinary, many times stronger than the soldiers trained in the palace.
When Wuming landed, he stretched out his hands towards Liu Hongyan on the tree. Liu Hongyan jumped down directly. She was very relieved about Wuming.
The moment Wuming caught Liu Hongyan, Liu Hongyan hugged Wuming's neck, then straightened up and attacked Wuming. The speed was so fast that even Wuming, who had the ninth level of soul refining, could not react, and she succeeded in the sneak attack. .
Wuming's mouth felt sweet, and he looked at the person in his arms in surprise.
But Liu Hongyan let go of her hand and fell to the ground.
"How are you? Are you stunned? Is it the sweetness of candied haws or the sweetness just now?" Liu Hongyan looked into Wuming's eyes and said with a hint of teasing in her tone.
Wuming couldn't answer Liu Hongyan's question because this was the first time in his life that he had been kissed secretly.
As if dissatisfied, Wuming didn't call her sweet directly but kept silent. Liu Hongyan pouted her soft mouth.
