To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 258 Heartbeat

  On Qingxing Street, the orange light emitted by the red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the shops facing the street dilutes the coolness of the night and casts a warm light on a couple of young people.

   Wei Han stared at Luo Sheng.

  The girl's eyebrows and eyes were softened by the night, but her expression couldn't be more serious.

   Wei Han suddenly felt that he didn't like such seriousness.

  The usually serious girl Luo is also very nice, but this situation made him want to say something, and he was unwilling to leave.

  He looked at her with a serious tone: "Miss Luo, I didn't drink too much."

  It’s just three pots of shochu, so there’s plenty of it.

   "Okay, my lord didn't drink too much, my lord, let's go back."

   Such a clear attitude of disbelief made Wei Han frowned, staring into those cold eyes and said: "Miss Luo, it's not like this because I drank too much."

  Luo Sheng was angry and funny.

   He also said that he didn't drink too much, so this is a messy alcoholic, right?

  Speaking of it, the usual King Kaiyang is more pleasing to the eye, even if he gives some inexplicable gifts, he can bear it.

   "Does it have to be too drunk to be drunk? My lord, go back quickly, I won't send it off." After Luo Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

  Her hand was suddenly held by a big hand.

  The man was very close to her, so close that she was surrounded by the aura that belonged to him alone, making her stiff.

  There was a waning moon in the sky, and the frost was falling on the ground, but her normally cool fingertips were warmed by the wrapping of that big hand.

   This warmth made Luo Sheng stunned for a moment, and forgot to react for a while.

  The man's clear eyes became sparkling at this moment because of the slight hint of alcohol.

  He looked at her fixedly, and said: "If I really drink too much, this will happen."

  Won't be crazy about drinking.

  Luo Sheng stared at the big hand and sighed.

   So this is really drinking too much…

  Withdrawing his hand without hesitation, Luo Sheng said expressionlessly: "Okay, I really believe it now, my lord, go back."

   Wei Han bent his lips and smiled: "Then see you tomorrow."

   Seeing the man drifting away, Luo Sheng silently turned and entered the wine shop.

  In the lobby, Sheng Saburo and others are eating pot.

  Steaming mutton pot, delicious fish head pot, in this cold season at the end of autumn, don't mention how comfortable it is to eat.

  Xiuyue looked at Luo Sheng: "Girl."

  Others heard it and looked over.

   "Cousin, would you like some more?"

  Luo Sheng smiled: "I have eaten steamed buns before, cousin, you can eat."

  It is already the end of autumn in desolation outside, but inside it feels like being in spring because of the aroma of steaming food.

   Such a contrast made Luo Sheng a little dazed for no reason.

  I always feel that the people I see and the ground I step on have a sense of unreality.

  King Kaiyang drank too much, could it be that she also drank too much?

  Luo Sheng shook his head and laughed, and walked to the backyard.

  Xiuyue put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her hands and followed.

  Luo Sheng stood in the courtyard, staring at the tall persimmon tree in a daze.

  Just three or two days passed, and the leaves of the persimmon tree became sparser. The fallen leaves were not swept away in time, and the autumn wind swept them onto the girl's plain skirt.

   "Girl."

  Luo Sheng turned his head and looked at Xiuyue who was walking beside him.

  The courtyard was empty, only two people.

  Xiuyue said softly: "You and King Kaiyang—"

  She shouldn't have asked, but when others were scrambling to eat, she saw the biren standing opposite each other under the cold moonlight through the window.

   It made her feel inexplicably distressed.

   That was the distance between the princess and Prince Pingnan's heir Wei Qiang who had never been close.

   "We have nothing." Luo Sheng's expression turned cold.

"But-"

   "No but." Luo Sheng looked at Xiuyue and said word by word, "His surname is Wei."

  His last name is Wei.

   But this is also good, it can keep her hard-hearted.

  If his surname is not Wei, if she is confused for a while... walking on the road of narrow escape is nothing but harming others.

  A person whose family is ruined and lives on the skin of others, what right does he have to think about the love between a man and a woman?

  She shouldn't even have the qualifications to be tempted.

   Staring down at the hand that was held, Luo Sheng's dry eyes were a little swollen.

  But at the moment when her fingertips were warmed, her heart seemed to move.

  Embroidered shoes stepped on dry fallen leaves, Luo Sheng laughed at himself and pulled the corner of his lips.

  It turns out that there are always many things that will be unexpected.

   After hearing Luo Sheng's answer, Xiuyue also fell silent.

  The princess said that Kaiyang Wang’s surname is Wei, but he didn’t say that he had no intentions for him...

  Her princess finally has a sweetheart.

  In fact, the four of them have always been more worried about the princess's feelings for Pingnan Wang's son Wei Qiang.

  At that time, Sister Chaohua said that the princess had no affection for Prince Pingnan, but he was just a childhood sweetheart, obeying the orders of his parents.

  However, there is no other man who makes the county take the initiative, and it is not a bad choice to marry a childhood sweetheart who knows everything.

  knowledge…

  Xiuyue thought of these four words now, and felt it was a big joke.

  The Princess has gone through life and death, and someone finally opened her heart, but that person's surname is Wei, just like Wei Qiang.

  Xiuyue didn't know how Luo Sheng was feeling at the moment, she only knew that she felt sorry for the princess.

  Her princess, it is more painful and difficult to be moved than not to be.

  In the evening wind, a girl's indifferent voice came: "Clean up and get ready to go home."

   A few days passed by, and with the return of Qiu Yu's team, the teahouses and restaurants in the capital became lively due to a few gossips.

  The first gossip is that the prince was raped by a wild boar while he was hunting in Beihe.

  Actually, this gossip was faintly heard before Qiu Yu's team returned to Beijing, but it still makes people feel unbelievable.

   Now that hundreds of officials and nobles are back, there is no need to worry about the safety of the correspondence on paper. A few words that are not strict will spread immediately.

  Prince, he was humiliated by a wild boar. This... This is a bit embarrassing for the people of Dazhou.

  The second gossip is still related to the prince: the princess is actually disfigured!

  As soon as this gossip came out, people had some inexplicable understanding of the prince being raped by a wild boar: perhaps it was because of the princess's affairs, and the prince was under too much pressure.

  The matter involving the Tian family should not be spread indiscriminately, but the news of the disfigurement of the princess is too sensitive, and soon caused some ripples in some people's hearts.

  It is impossible for a disfigured woman to secure the position of crown princess. In this case, wouldn't the girls in the clan have a chance to stand out...

   There is another gossip about King Kaiyang and Miss Luo.

   It is said that someone saw the two dating in the name of hunting.

   This gossip also shocked many people's jaws.

   No way, King Kaiyang actually fell in love with Miss Luo? Could it be that being pulled out of the belt also caused feelings?

   Impossible, impossible.

   It is somewhat credible to say that King Kaiyang fell in love with Miss Luo's cooking skills, but Miss Luo has a face, how could King Kaiyang have a crush on Miss Luo herself!

  Three pieces of gossip, the last one must be fake news.

  But the protagonists in the first two gossips are not easy to watch. You can see King Kaiyang in a restaurant.

  Suddenly, there was a restaurant full of customers, and it was very lively.
