Chapter 217: In prosperous times, beauties are needed to embellish, but in troubled times, beauties
Tang Wanwan was so shocked by He Lianhuan's actions that he didn't react for a moment.
Two months of getting along day and night, whether it was long or short, was enough for her to understand a person deeply.
He Lianhuan has always been a man of few words in front of her. Sometimes throughout the whole day, the number of conversations between them can be counted on one hand.
If she hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him, he would have been almost mute.
He likes to stay alone and is used to sitting in one place all day long.
She thought she had understood him thoroughly, but now she discovered that he was not talkative. When facing familiar people, he would smile, speak in a gentle manner, and be full of initiative.
She saw the unnatural nervousness on Gu Wangshu's face, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the two people's intertwined hands. She pretended to be nonchalant and led him towards the Lantern Festival.
Tang Wanwan came to his senses and quickly chased after him.
"My lord, wait for me."
She ran to He Lianhuan, stretched out her hand to grab his sleeve very naturally, and smiled playfully:
"I also want to hold on to the young master. In this way, the three of us will not be easily scattered by the crowd. Don't you think so, young master?"
On Tang Wanwan's beautiful and picturesque face, there was a pair of bright eyes, as blazing as if she was facing a normal person instead of a blind person.
He Lianhuan tightened his hold on Gu Wangshu's hand slightly.
Gu Wangshu felt this change, but pretended not to notice anything strange.
When Tang Wanwan saw He Lianhuan silent, a trace of displeasure flashed through her charming eyes, her pink lips slightly pursed, and she complained dissatisfiedly:
"Young Master is still so indifferent to me, huh."
She was as willful as a child and had no intention of letting go of He Lianhuan's sleeves.
Seeing no one to comfort me, my emotions surged like a summer shower, coming and going as quickly as they came.
But in an instant, the haze dissipated from her face, replaced by joy and curiosity.
She raised her little face again, her smart eyes stared at the lantern above her head, and she was amazed, innocent and frank.
"Yong'an deserves to be the capital of Kyoto. Even the Qiqiao Festival is held with such grandeur." She praised, her smiling eyes bent into crescent moons.
"Sir, thank you for bringing me here. If it weren't for you, I might have to stay in the mountains my whole life and be a village girl who has never seen the world."
He Lianhuan just said in a calm tone: "You saved me."
In his mind, Tang Wanwan's help was just because she saved him, and he repaid her, nothing more.
Tang Wanwan seemed completely unaware of his implication.
Continuing to laugh, he smiled and suddenly asked:
"Young Master, why did Miss Gu call you His Highness just now? Shouldn't His Highness be the title of Prince? Could it be that Young Master is..."
She opened her beautiful and innocent eyes, with surprise in them, and her mouth was slightly open.
He Lianhuan didn't mean to say anything. Anyway, she would know everything when she returned to the mansion later.
Seeing that he was silent, Gu Wangshu became even more silent.
There were three people in the group, and He Lianhuan was sandwiched between two women, which attracted passersby's attention.
They walked leisurely through the bustling Taiping Street. There were a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street, and various lanterns hung high under the eaves, like strings of bright stars.
Gu Wangshu had no intention of admiring the various charms of the lantern. Her attention was on the hand held by He Lianhuan.
That hand was solid and powerful, like a mountain, giving her endless dependence and peace of mind.
She couldn't help but glance at He Lianhuan secretly. Although half of her face was covered by the mask, it could not conceal her unparalleled elegance.
She wanted to see his expression clearly and figure out his emotions, but she could only see his eyes as deep as the sea and the bridge of his nose as straight as a pine tree.
At this moment, Qiu Chi was on the verge of collapse.
Qiu Chi stood at the end of Taiping Street, facing the huge flow of people, her face was full of anxiety.
"What should I do? I lost the lady." She murmured to herself, her eyes were already wet, and crystal tears were teetering in the corners of her eyes.
Qingdai stepped forward and caressed Qiu Chi's shoulder to express comfort.
"Qiuchi, don't panic. Miss Wangshu is so smart, she will be able to take care of herself. What's more, this is Kyoto, and the security is good. There will be no danger."
Qiu Chi knew that Kyoto had good public security. She was not worried that the young lady would be kidnapped by gangsters, but she was worried that the crowd would not be serious enough and the young lady would be bumped into.
"I'd better go look for it again." Qiu Chi said, and was about to walk towards the bustling crowd when he was suddenly interrupted by a cold voice.
"I advise you to wait here, lest Miss Gu can't find you when she comes back later. Instead of looking for each other, it's better to wait quietly in one place."
Qiuchi paused and stood still.
She secretly glanced at Chen Zui.
Qiu Chi was a little afraid of this young Zhongyong Marquis.
His temperament is too cold, so cold that it gives people a sense of powerlessness that could lead to being plotted accidentally.
Qiu Chi, who was quirky and eccentric in front of his own lady, was as honest as a quail in front of Chen Zui.
Qiu Chi's eyes wandered around the crowd on the street, hoping that the lady would come back soon.
Her heart was like a turbulent river, waiting anxiously and praying constantly.
After a while, the familiar figure appeared in his sight.
There is a man beside her.
The man's face wears a red fox mask. Set off by his dark hair and black robes, he looks charming and charming.
Qiu Chi felt that the man's figure was very similar to His Highness the Second Prince, but he couldn't be sure.
She waved to Gu Wangshu: "Miss, you are finally back."
Gu Wangshu also saw her and smiled gently at her.
The distance between the two parties was getting closer, and Qiuchi felt more and more that the masked man was His Highness.
She lowered her gaze slightly, and caught at a glance her young lady's hand being held tightly in the man's palm.
Qiu Chi was surprised and asked uncertainly: "Miss, is this... His Highness the Second Prince?"
Gu Wangshu nodded, her voice soft but clear, confirming Qiu Chi's guess.
"Well, His Highness is back."
Qiu Chi couldn't believe it was true. His Highness had returned to Yong'an without any warning. It was almost like a dream.
Due to excessive excitement, Qiu Chi's words were a little awkward.
She said in a trembling voice: "Servant, slave, please see His Highness the Second Prince."
Qiu Chi was followed by Qing Dai, who also hurriedly bowed to He Lianhuan.
After the two of them finished saluting, they stood aside while Yun Musheng and Chen Zui walked over one after another.
"Your Majesty Yun Mu Sheng, please see His Highness the Second Prince."
He Lianhuan had an impression of Yun Musheng, the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, not to mention that she was Gu Wangshu's cousin.
"Exemption."
After Yun Mu Sheng saluted, Chen Zui also saluted He Lianhuan and looked at He Lianhuan secretly.
It is said that the second prince of the Helian Kingdom, He Lianhuan, is a good person among men, with all-round talents in both civil and military affairs. His demeanor is unusual now, but his eyes through the fox mask have no sparkle.
Although He Lianhuan is blind, his perception is different from ordinary people.
He could clearly feel an inquiring gaze. He had no way of knowing who this gaze came from. However, after a moment of judgment, he could also confirm that it must be Chen Zui, who claimed to be the number one scholar in this year's new subject.
He did not avoid Chen Zui's observation, but appeared calm and calm.
Among these people, the only one who was not calm was Tang Wanwan.
Her heart was like a boat flipping over in the storm, unable to calm down.
When Gu Wangshu called He Lianhuan his highness, she vaguely guessed that he might be a prince.
But she never thought that he was the second prince of Helian Kingdom.
This unexpected identity made her heart beat faster instantly. She clasped He Lianhuan's sleeves tightly, and her already nervous mood trembled even more.
She had heard He Lianhuan's name a long time ago.
He is not only famous in Helian Kingdom, but dignitaries in other countries are also aware of his name.
This man is calm, wise and ruthless.
She actually saved him!
While she was deep in thought, Qiuchi's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Who is this girl?"
Tang Wanwan smiled at her and replied generously:
"Hello, my surname is Tang and my name is Wanwan. I saved the young master by chance, so I came to Kyoto with him. Kyoto is so big and beautiful."
"Oh." Qiu Chi looked at her with a somewhat wary look, especially when he saw her grabbing He Lianhuan's sleeve, his expression became even worse, and he felt as if his uncle-in-law was about to be snatched away. .
