Chapter 467 Lantern Festival Night, Sisters' Tea Party
After my eldest and second cousins, who had families, left, the remaining group of young people and a few energetic children began to play without restraint.
Strolling from one main street to another, the lanterns at the night market, though not as grand and awe-inspiring as those on the tower, are small and exquisite. People stroll along, buying street food to satisfy their cravings.
Before I'd even walked halfway through the block, my stomach was already full of all sorts of snacks. For the remaining half, I just looked at the food without buying anything, treating it purely as a leisurely stroll to digest.
Before I knew it, I was back in that original private room at the restaurant.
Surprisingly, there was no one in the private room. Could it be that the two people hadn't come down from the roof yet? Surely not!
Before everyone could even sit down, a gust of wind blew by, the window shook a few times, and the next second two figures flew in through the window.
Wen Chengjian, holding the Sixth Princess, calmly placed her in a wheelchair in full view of everyone.
The crowd of onlookers inside stared wide-eyed, a dozen or twenty pairs of eyes fixed on Wen Chengjian's movements.
"Big brother, Nan...brother, we bought some snacks, would you like to try some?"
Wen Qing handed over the snacks she was carrying with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other children handed over the snacks they had.
Suddenly, the table was filled with all sorts of snacks.
Even if they can't eat much in the second half of shopping, it doesn't stop them from buying more. They can buy what they want and bring it back to share with everyone, which is the same thing.
"Okay, thank you, Qing'er, and thank you all too," the Sixth Princess said with a smile.
"Hey, bamboo, you can try this."
Yao Maimai suppressed the smile on her lips and volunteered to recommend some food, "And these, they all taste pretty good..."
Her rambling immediately helped the Sixth Princess out of her predicament, and the latter gave her a grateful look. She was indeed her best friend since childhood, and her timely rescue was commendable.
"You eat too."
The sixth princess nudged her closer and then turned to call to the Wen family sisters, "You all come and eat with us."
Of course, there are also the newly added Renran Dan and Renran Man.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, Yao Maimai suddenly let out a burp.
From among the group of sisters, a series of soft, puffing sounds rang out.
Everyone looked up at each other and burst into laughter.
"Alright, you're full, stop eating. Be careful not to get indigestion."
Wenxia said, "Let's talk."
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the sisters' snack and tea party was held once again on a small scale.
As the conversation progressed, they started talking about the temple prayer event a few days later.
Wenxia turned to the Sixth Princess and asked, "At that time, the temple's abbot will hold free clinics. Will the Sixth... young master go?"
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Princess's eyelashes fluttered, and she glanced at Wen Chengjian before replying with a smile, "Yes, I will definitely go!"
Her firm decision to go was largely due to Wen Chengjian.
Everyone had gone downstairs to see the lanterns, leaving only her and Wen Chengjian in the room. It was so awkward for the two of them to stare at each other. Besides, the imperial decree had been issued, and their fates were now intertwined. It was better to be open and honest with each other than to be indifferent, distant, and awkward together.
Since it was the Lantern Festival, the two of them started chatting about the lanterns.
It was learned that the Sixth Princess had not seen the lanterns on the top of the tower in person. The main reason was that she had difficulty walking and did not want to trouble others. In addition, she did not have any close friends to watch with, so the joy was not shared and her interest was greatly diminished.
The reason I came out this year is twofold: firstly, Yao Maimai is back, and having close friends around naturally changes my mood; secondly, my future husband has appeared, so everything is different from before.
Perhaps it was the young man's desire to please her that led Wen Chengjian to suggest, after much consideration, that he take her out to see the lanterns, to find a place away from the crowds, where there would be no one to disturb them, and where they could enjoy the lanterns from a high vantage point.
Upon hearing this idea, the Sixth Princess readily agreed. Sometimes, daring to make a breakthrough can be a form of self-redemption.
Since her brief conversation with Wen Chengjian at the Wen residence, the Sixth Princess seemed to have fallen for him. In fact, all of Wen Chengjian's suggestions were based on her wishes, without any deception, perfunctory attitude, or forcefulness, which the Sixth Princess could sense.
Another point is that there are not many twists and turns in the relationship with the Wen sisters. There is no need to spend time and energy on guarding and being on guard. The mind is relaxed and the body and mind are happy. Even when eating, you can eat an extra bowl of rice.
So during the rooftop lantern viewing, under the dazzling and dreamy starlight, Wen Chengjian said that he had asked his grandmaster to treat the Sixth Princess's leg once the free clinic began. He also vowed that the Sixth Princess's leg would definitely be cured and that he would take her to Qingfeng City.
These sincere words, carried on the dazzling light, left the Sixth Princess with an unforgettable memory, a moment of romance.
"MaiMai, after I leave the palace, I'll go to your house to find you first," the Sixth Princess said.
"No need to bother."
Yao Maimai patted her chest and said, "I'll leave early and pick you up at the palace gate, then we'll leave the city together."
"Then let's meet at the city gate and go together."
Wenxia turned to Ren Ran and Dan Dan and said, "Dandan, Manman, you two wait at home. We'll come pick you up and we'll leave the city together."
"it is good."
After making all the arrangements, the group of girls smiled at each other, and their friendship deepened once again.
Unexpectedly, some people were unhappy about it.
"Big sister, why aren't we included in this event?" Wen Qing asked.
After she finished speaking, Zhou Ruirui nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, big cousin, don't you guys get bored without us around?"
Wen Qing: "We're good at creating a lively atmosphere, serving tea and water to the older sisters, and doing whatever you tell us to do. The key is that we're very obedient and incredibly useful!"
Zhou Ruirui: "Sisters, please consider including us. Or you could go and talk to the teacher and ask if we can participate in this activity?"
Their seemingly innocent questions were actually a way of saying they wanted to be lazy and avoid going to school, as if no one could see through their little scheme.
Everyone in the room knew exactly what was going on, and they all covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Dream on! Do you really think we sisters are easy to fool?"
Wenwen teased them, "You two should just go to school. I remember the small test is in two days. If you don't do well, the teacher might spank you."
"Don't try to use any tricks to avoid punishment. If the teacher finds out, the beating will be even more severe."
"Don't blame your older sister for not reminding you!"
After listening, the children were at a loss for words, "...I understand."
At this moment, Wen Chengjian looked out the window and noticed that there were far fewer pedestrians on the road, and it was already late at night.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go home!"
Wen Chengjian looked at Wen Chengbin and said, "Second brother, you take everyone back first. I'll see the sixth young master off and then return later."
