Hidden Sky Light

"Uncle Shen!" When Anian saw him come forward, Shan Hai was also surprised, "Second Uncle!"

Chen Ling looked away, not letting others see it.

The fireworks were not over yet, and the attention of the two children was quickly attracted by the fireworks.

Their original position was very good, just a little obscured, but most of them could be seen clearly.

But because Anian is the prince and Shanhai is the companion in the palace, the Imperial Guard and Ziyiwei on one side are not easy to come forward even if they travel in plainclothes; on the contrary, when Shen Ci came, both Anian and Shanhai took the initiative to hug Shen Ci.

Shen Ci smiled, and first stretched out his hand to pick up A Nian and let A Nian sit on his shoulder.

Shen Ci held A Nian with his left hand, and hugged Shanhai with the other, Shanhai also laughed happily.

After Shen Ci came, the two children were obviously a lot more happy, and they were talking to Shen Ci one by one. After a little effort, Chen Ling also concealed the traces in his eyes, as if there was nothing else going on, just a little dazzling, so his eyes were slightly red.

Shen Ci was by her side, and Chen Ling was also afraid that A Nian might not be able to sit still when she was excited, so she stretched out her hand to support A Nian.

Shen Ci turned his head slightly, without disturbing the two children watching the fireworks, but whispered to Chen Ling, "I came back late, I should have arrived by noon, but there was a delay on the way."

It was on purpose to speak to her.

Chen Ling hummed softly.

He smiled and said, "I promise you and A Nian will come to enjoy the moon feast together, and I won't break my promise."

Chen Ling looked at him.

A Nian just called out, "Uncle Shen, look, it's a bird!"

Shen Ci turned back, A Nian and Shan Hai were very excited, chatting with Shen Ci. As soon as the two children were excited, Shen Ci couldn't care about Chen Ling anymore, just talking and talking, he would look back at Chen Ling and smile at her.

Chen Ling watched him and the two children speak one by one. Under the fireworks in the night sky, Chen Ling lowered his eyebrows and smiled, as if the empty place in his heart was slowly filled by the pleasant breeze in his ears...

The fireworks lasted about a minute or so.

When it was over, the entire market was full of regretful sighs of regret for not seeing enough, but on the night of the moon viewing feast, fireworks would come every other hour, and they would last until midnight. Soon, the market returned to the previous one. Lively, adults and children are also looking forward to the next hour of fireworks feast!

Compared with the two fireworks at the end of the year, the moon viewing banquet is indeed the most favorite day for children.

"A Nian, come down." After the fireworks ended, Chen Ling said.

Shen Ci sat one on his shoulders and held one in his hand. Both children had weight, and a quarter of an hour was enough to make people exhausted.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Ah Nian was a little reluctant, "But I still want to sit on Uncle Shen's shoulders!"

Because he can see higher and farther, Ah Nian rarely does this, but when he sits up, he doesn't want to get down.

Shen Ci smiled, "It's okay."

After hearing this, Ah Nian laughed along with "giggles".

Because the father and son were together, and A Nian was on Shen Ci's shoulders. When the two laughed together, they were almost exactly the same.

Chen Ling was stunned, but did not continue for a while, and A Nianquan acquiesced to him.

Shan Hai is sensible, "Second uncle, let me down, I want to go by myself."

On Shen Ci's shoulders, there was A Nian's baby, Chen Ling stretched out his hand, took the mountains and seas from Shen Ci's arms, and put them down. Fang Cai's actions are close to nature, like a husband and wife with two children.

Perhaps there were too many people, Shen Ci was sitting on A Nian's shoulder, and Chen Ling also reached out and held the mountains and seas.

No inconsistencies at all.

Although the fireworks feast has been suspended, the moon viewing feast in the street market is still going on. It is obviously the same juggling, the same performance, and the same wonderful, but for some reason, it seems that because Shen Ci returned, everything has a brighter color. .

A vendor from Qiangya was performing a fire-breathing performance, and A Nian came close to watch it.

There were the Imperial Army and Ziyiwei, and Shen Ci was nearby. Chen Ling was not worried, but when the other party spit fire, he still scared Ah Nian into tears, because Ah Nian was serious.

Chen Ling couldn't help laughing.

A Nian was crying while still watching.

Shen Ci could only put him down from his shoulders and hug him to watch.

Ah Nian doesn't seem to be so afraid anymore.

When he came back again, he was so happy to see that he refused to leave.

Chen Ling held Shanhai, and Shanhai also smiled.

Throughout the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were many people and vendors in the street market. When crowded, the plainclothes guards in purple and the imperial guards would be pushed aside. Chen Ling was protecting the mountains and seas, and there were times when the guards and guards in purple were not concerned. While holding A Nian, he stretched out his hand to protect her in his arms...

Chen Ling looked at him.

He quickly let go, "Are you alright?"

She shook her head.

He smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Shanhai, "Go with the second uncle!"

Then he told Chen Ling, "Follow closely."

Chen Ling looked at him, and felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

I don't know if it was because of Shen Ci, but this hour seemed to pass very quickly, and before Chen Ling noticed it, another round of fireworks for the Moon Appreciation Banquet came, and the market suddenly became lively.

Ah Nian and Shan Hai have seen the lively scene, and now they are drinking water at the herbal tea shop with Shen Ci and Chen Ling, watching the fireworks from a distance, and when they like it very much, they will stand up and jump, with a child's unique innocence brilliant.

With Shen Ci by the side, Chen Ling looked at them with her cheeks raised.

After a while, Shen Ci turned back, "Take a rest tomorrow, go to my mansion tonight..."

Chen Ling was slightly startled.

She sat, and he half-squatted down, looking at her with a smile, "A Ling, I have something to show you."

"What?" Chen Ling looked at him

He smiled gently, "I won't tell you first, I'll know when I go."

Chen Ling hesitated in his eyes, and said sincerely, "A Ling, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the reunion day, let's be with A Nian."

On this trip back to Beijing, the matter of Licheng seemed to be separated between the two, and he rarely mentioned it like that.

Shen Ci insisted, "If you don't go, I've been busy for so long..."

"What exactly did you do?"

"Secret, there are surprises." He looked up at her, his eyes still gentle.

She remembered that he was on leave these days...

"Go, Father!" A Nian began to eavesdrop at some point, "I want to go to Uncle Shen!"

Shan Hai also nodded, "I also want to go to the second uncle's place."

Chen Ling lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.

***

The moon viewing banquet in Beijing is still going on, but A Nian and Shan Hai have already had a good time.

As soon as they thought of going to Shen Ci's mansion, the two children didn't want to stay in the street market, and wanted to go immediately.

Chen Ling couldn't help it.

She had been to the Shen residence. When she was in the East Palace, Shen Ci took her over the wall. In order to hide from the forbidden army who was looking for her, it was the first time she was alone with Shen Ci for a night.

At that time, the Shen residence was vacant, and no one was let go. After Shen Ci took her over the wall and entered, he lit a candle with sparks, and the two of them leaned against their heads and leaned against the wall behind the bed for the night.

Shen Ci fell asleep, she didn't sleep all night, and her cheeks were red the next day.

Because Shen Ci would rest her head on her shoulder, she didn't dare to make a sound or move for fear of waking him up. The next morning, her whole body would be stiff. It was also the first time that she heard the sound of his first waking up, gentle, lazy, and sleepy, "You woke up earlier than me."

Her heart was pounding, and she hummed.

Shen Ci continued to lean on her shoulder and said in a daze, "No hurry, let Chen Xian hang for a while."

She is light.

He slept on her shoulder again, and she clenched her palm.

At that time, Chen Xian bullied her behind her back, and Shen Ci said to rule Chen Xian. That time they stayed in the Shen residence for a day and a night, and the royal father looked for her everywhere and couldn't find her. Later, after she went back, she followed what Shen Ci said and said Frightened by Chen Xian, he had been hiding outside the city and dared not come back, so the father and emperor repaired Chen Xian severely.

Shen Ci has a lot of ideas, and Chen Xian always suffered from her for a while. After being reprimanded by the father and emperor, he dared not do anything else...

At that time, I was still young, and the first prince was still there, so it was a little trick between a few people.

Later, after the death of the first prince, the position of the crown prince suddenly became sensitive, and the earlier small fights gradually turned into dark waves, **** for tat.

At that time, Shen Ci was still by her side...

That was a long time ago. The last time I came to the Shen residence, it was because Shen Ci was going to Licheng, and she came to see him off.

She was close to him in the mansion, regardless of each other...

Chen Ling retracted her thoughts, she was absent-minded just now, her feet slipped, Shen Ci put her arms around her waist in time, and both Ah Nian and Shan Hai were startled.

Chen Ling blushed, and Shen Ci said gently, "What are you thinking, so ecstatic?"

"nothing."

He let go of her without asking any further questions.

Chen Ling saw that the garden had been arranged, and in the warm pavilion, drinks and moon cakes were arranged for viewing the moon, which was very warm. Seeing Xiao Wu in the garden, "His Royal Highness!" "Young Master!" A Nian and Shan Hai were very happy. The two children gathered together, and they all rushed towards Xiao Wu, which was barely three children.

"Cut the moon cakes." Shen Ci called to her.

She should be fine.

Xiao Wu brought A Nian and Shan Hai to play in the garden. Shen Ci and Chen Ling prepared together in the warm pavilion. There were moon cakes, fruits, snacks, fruit wine, and juice water.

Shen Ci cut the moon cake, and Chen Ling poured fruit wine on one side.

Both of them remembered the time when they were with their aunt last year in Zhoucheng...

They were doing their own work, and when they looked up, their foreheads suddenly touched a subtle place. It didn't hurt, but both of them were stunned.

Shen Ci suddenly smiled and said softly, "The last time we met was when we got married at the church, remember?"

Chen Ling also remembered.

Shan Hai and Anian were with Xiao Wu, and the two of them were so close in the warm pavilion that no one could see clearly, so Shen Ci secretly kissed her side cheek.

Chen Ling was surprised.

When I turned to look at him, I saw the corners of his mouth twitched, smiling like a breeze.

"Exactly, I have something to show you." He just finished cutting, and put down the knife for cutting moon cakes, raised his head and called, "Little Wu."

Xiao Wuzheng and A Nian and Shan Hai had a lot of fun, and when he heard Shen Ci calling him, Xiao Wu hurriedly responded, and then hurried to the house to get something.

Chen Ling remembered that Shen Ci just said she had prepared something, and she thought it was moon cakes.

When Xiao Wu ran out of the room and handed the thing to Shen Ci with both hands, A Nian and Shan Hai also surrounded him.

"What is this?" A Nian was curious.

Shen Ci opened Huang Chou and said, "Sky lanterns are used for making wishes in the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Wow~" A Nian and Shan Hai both booed.

Chen Ling looked at him, and he just took the thing out of the yellow thick, and also looked at Chen Ling, "Didn't you say it earlier? In the future, the moon viewing banquet will be with you, and the sky lantern will be set off."

Chen Ling's eyes were slightly stagnant.

Shen Ci continued, "The sky lantern in Puhua Temple, didn't Your Majesty hear people say that the sky lantern in Puhua Temple is effective?"

Chen Ling asked softly, "Puhua Temple is in Yaocheng. How many days have you been to Yaocheng?"

He said, "Well."

Yao Chengguang took eight or nine days to go back and forth, and he had to go to Puhua Temple to get the sky lantern. He went there for four or five days in total, and he never stopped all the way...

Her eyes were slightly moist, and just as she was about to speak, he first said warmly, "Sincere is the spirit, haven't you always wanted it? I told you to take it for you earlier, and it took eight years, but it's not too late... "

Chen Ling's throat was slightly astringent, "I don't remember."

He smiled, "I remember. I still remember a lot, I'll tell you all?"

Shan Hai and Anian looked at him and then at her.

What do children know?

But Xiao Wu is about to petrify...

Fortunately, Shen Ci spoke first, "Where's the ink?"

"Oh~" Xiao Wu came back to his senses, as if he was about to be forgiven, "I'll go get it!"

Xiao Wuba couldn't run away, his heart was pounding, and he fully told himself that he thought too much, the general was the companion of the emperor, and the general was the companion of the emperor. The general's wife is so charming and charming, she is in love with the general, and the general likes it so much!

Xiaowu scratches his heart!

General, don't be ruthless, always abandoned...

It seems that Xiao Wu suddenly suffered a strong condemnation in his heart. His wife is not here, why is he here to help the general to please the emperor...

There are people who want to die.

But when Xiao Wu turned back, he saw that the general and the emperor were close together, just to set up the sky lantern, and the prince and the son were also on one side, standing on tiptoes and watching.

This scene, how could he look more harmonious...

Xiao Wu wanted to cry without tears.

I feel more and more sorry for Mrs.

Finally, Xiao Wu stepped forward and put the pen and ink on one side.

Shen Ci said to A Nian and Shan Haidao, "One person has one wish, if you write it on the sky lantern, your sincerity will come true."

"Wow~" The two children jumped and jumped and couldn't wait.

A Nian suddenly reacted, "I don't know how to write yet."

Shan Hai patted his chest, "I can write a lot of words... I can also draw if I can't write!"

"Brother Shanhai is amazing!" Ah Nian really felt.

Shen Ci has a headache.

After all, the children will do the things agreed upon between the children. Shen Ci is carrying the sky lantern, Shan Hai is holding the pen and first writes for Ah Nian on the side of the sky lantern. , scratched his head, Shen Ci bet that he couldn't write it, and finally glanced out of the corner of the eye, he really saw him start to draw.

Shen Ci couldn't help laughing.

Then there is Shanhai himself. The words Shanhai can be written, and Shen Ci can see it.

After Shan Hai finished writing, Shen Ci looked at Chen Ling, "A Ling."

Chen Ling stepped forward and simply wrote a few words. Shen Ci didn't look at the sky lantern, but just looked at her, with her face closed in the light and shadow under the eaves of the warm pavilion, focused, serious, and beautiful.

"Okay." Chen Ling wrote, "Come on."

Chen Ling reached out to carry the sky lantern, Shen Ci took it, he squatted down to write, she didn't need to carry it so high.

"Okay!" He also stopped writing.

"Martian." Shen Ci called Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu hurried forward, Shan Hai and Nian Nian had already started clapping and cheering, this is their sky lantern!

It was Chen Ling who carried it, and Shen Ci half squatted down, igniting it with sparks.

"Don't move, keep your balance." Shen Ci told Chen Ling, and slowly let go, and then got up to help Chen Ling hold on to it.

Chen Ling naturally remembered that the two of them put up the sky lanterns last time, and they only rose when they placed the second one, because unbalanced sky lanterns would fall soon, and balanced sky lanterns could fly very fast.

Both A Nian and Shan Hai held their breath, let alone the two of them, Xiao Wu also widened his eyes.

"Let go, come." Shen Ci asked Chen Ling to let go first.

Chen Ling is as good as a stream.

Shen Ci was taller than her, and finally Shen Ci slowly let go.

Both A Nian and Shan Hai held their breath, and when Shen Ci finally let go, the sky lantern rose steadily, slowly rising into the night sky, and together with the countless sky lanterns in the night sky, ran towards a full moon in the sky.

Anian rushed into Chen Ling's arms, "Father, the sky lantern has risen!"

This is the first time Ah Nian has put out a sky lantern by himself.

Chen Ling smiled, and Shen Ci instructed Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, let someone speak to Jing Jie and Shu Bo, and watch out for the sky lantern on fire."

Small five should be fine.

These were all in the earlier plan, but Shen Ci was not at ease and reminded him more. Yanhan has the habit of putting sky lanterns on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this year coincides with the moon viewing feast, so there are especially many sky lanterns in the sky.

When the sky lanterns were put away, Chen Ling said softly, "Eat moon cakes, it's getting late."

Although Ah Nian was excited, she yawned several times in a row just now, and the mountains and seas were not much better. I heard that they were going to eat moon cakes, and the most important thing was fruit wine. The two children were very happy, "Okay!"

Said to be fruit wine, in fact, fruit juice to water.

Chen Ling took a sip. She couldn't eat much moon cakes, but she remembered when she was with her aunt in Zhoucheng.

Shen Ci had fed her moon cakes at that time, and now, he has fed A Nian and Shan Hai successively, and delivered them to her lips.

Chen Ling looked at him, he smiled, "It's your turn."

Chen Ling ate it in one bite.

Shen Ci only laughed.

A Nian and Shan Hai were eating snacks by themselves, and Shen Ci picked up the wine glass, "A Ling."

The two had a drink.

A Nian climbed into Chen Ling's arms and sat up straight.

Shen Shanhai also went to Shen Ci's place according to the gourd painting, Shanhai said, "Second uncle, the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival is really round."

A Nian said to Chen Ling, "The moon is like a disc, and the moon is two rounds."

Anian said, "The teacher taught it."

Shen Ci had a headache, "Shan Hai, you have to be attentive in class."

Shen Shanhai: "..."

Chen Ling couldn't help laughing.

At about the same time, the small 50% discount came back, "General, let someone tell General Dai."

"Okay." Shen Ci got up, "Little Wu, come here."

Chen Ling and Shan Hai, A Nian didn't know what they were going to do, but when they saw them approaching, they lifted the curtain of the table in the garden. Fang Cai Shanhai and A Nian played with Xiao Wu for a long time in the garden, they always thought it was a table, but now they saw that it was a small stage set up, Xiao Wu and Shen Ci set up the stage.

Shan Hai suddenly realized, "That's the stage of the shadow puppet show!

"It's a shadow play!" A Nian also jumped up.

"Second uncle, second uncle, will you?" Shanhai was surprised!

Xiao Wu replied, "Of course I will, in the army!"

Chen Ling looked at Shen Ci, and saw that Shen Cizhen and Xiao Wu were really holding puppets and began to play shadow puppets.

Shan Hai and A Nian certainly look good, especially since there are no other people in the garden, the two children are so happy, they are always laughing "giggling" or "hee hee", and most importantly, Shen Ci and Xiao Wu are also The level of the half-hearted, often forgetting the words, or the rope was not held properly and fell off, and the two children laughed even more.

Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh.

The two children had already threw themselves down in front of the stage. They looked at the puppets in Shen Ci and Xiao Wu's hands and reached out to touch them. In the end, they rushed to the stage and grabbed the puppets to play together. All laughter.

Chen Ling also held her cheeks and smiled, remembering the earlier days.

——What do you want to do at the next Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Festival?

——I heard Fang Sifu say that the sky lanterns in Puhua Temple are effective. Next time, I want to ask for the sky lanterns in Puhua Temple.

- Oh, any more?

——I also want to watch shadow play.

- That's easy.

- Your shadow play.

——Then you are really embarrassing me, why don't you let me embroider.

Chen Ling lowered her eyebrows and smiled again...

***

When the shadow puppet show was over, the moon cakes were eaten, and the moon was rewarded. The two children danced all night. In fact, they were exhausted and sleepy.

Resting in the Shen residence tonight, Shen Ci and Chen Ling carried a half-dream and half-awake baby back to the house.

Shen Ci said softly, "Is it okay to let them sleep in one place?"

After all, A Nian is the prince, and there is something wrong in one place, but now it is not in the palace, Chen Ling decapitated.

Shen Ci first put the mountains and seas to sleep.

Then he took A Nian from Chen Ling's arms and placed A Nian on the side of the mountain and sea.

The two fell asleep very honestly, maybe it was because of the whole night.

Shen Ci took the quilt to cover the two of them, and was about to get up when Chen Ling just saw Shen Ci's hair poked into Shan Hai's little face, and Chen Ling leaned over.

The two stood up one by one, and the other leaned over, just in time to meet their faces.

Both were stunned.

The children slept quietly, only a night light was lit in the room, the other party's breathing was right in front of them, neither of them moved nor said anything...

Shen Ci closed her eyes and slowly kissed her lips.

Chen Ling did not avoid it.

The familiar breath has a unique softness and moistness, gentle and lingering, and she slowly lowered her eyes.

He naturally kissed her and hugged her. When he kissed her, she finally responded. When he hugged her, she would also reach out and wrap his arms around the back of his neck, and neither of them needed any other words...

He held her all the time, the two had not kissed like this for a long time, and when he let go of his lips, both of them were gasping for breath.

"Can you?" In fact, he hadn't been close to her for a long time, and he wouldn't miss her.

She took the initiative to kiss his lips.

He is delighted...

Shan Hai and A Nian were in the house, Shen Ci hugged her back to the house, Xiao Wuyi's eyes almost fell out of shock, this is this!

Xiao Wu was terrified.

General, General is pro-His Majesty.

Next to Ziyiwei and the Imperial Guard are in the outer garden, Xiaowu's mind is about to explode.

Only Qi Shan on one side coughed lightly and reminded, "When the royal waits, you need to know what to say and what not to say..."

Xiao Wu's tongue is not easy to use, but, but!

Xiao Wu's mind is in chaos, but the general is married, this, this...

The general should not be such a person!

Suddenly, Xiao Wu was stunned, Madam and Your Majesty, they all look the same...

Xiao Wu's expression suddenly became weird, fuck!

I fuck! !

Why didn't he think of it before, ah ah ah! !

Madam, Madam, she is disguised as a woman by His Majesty! !
