Chapter 150 Lantern Festival, Beitang Yi's Sweetheart (2)

Mu Lianzhi tilted her head and leaned on him, but she did not withdraw her gaze from the sky:

"Today's moon is so beautiful, Beitang Yi..."

It seemed like a century had passed before Mu Lianzhi uttered a few more words quietly:

"I'm homesick."

It is said that "When parents are alive, life still has a place to go; when parents are gone, life only has a way back." Thinking of her current situation, Mu Lianzhi couldn't help but tear up.

This sentence also aroused Beitang Yi's endless thoughts. He stretched out his hand and held her in his arms:

"I checked your parents before. They went northwest. They were said to have appeared near the Northwest Military Camp."

"Your father was once a famous imperial physician, and he must have been passionate about medicine. He once held the rank of eighth-rank official and was kind-hearted. Although he may not be suitable for practicing medicine due to his injuries, his ability and original intention are definitely still there. I guess he left with your mother because he didn't want to be a burden to you and wanted to do something more for the people."

"If you really follow the military's schedule, it may not be that convenient for them to contact you."

Rubbing her cheek soothingly, Beitang Yi slowed down his voice and said:

"It's easiest to achieve merit and climb the ranks in the military. They probably want to do something to support you. Even if it's just to gain a good reputation, it's good for you."

"If you miss them, I can help you find them again, give them a message or ask them to come back."

After being stunned for a long while, Mu Lianzhi finally realized that he was talking about her parents in this era. Her memory was very vague, but she knew that the original owner's parents loved her very much.

But she is no longer the original owner.

If outsiders can't see the difference, then how can the biological parents not see the difference?

Don't shoot yourself in the foot and cause a lot of trouble.

After leaning into his arms, Mu Lianzhi finally shook her head:

"Forget it, at least for now. If I want to find you again in the future, I'll find you."

Feeling her entanglement and hesitation, Beitang Yi just thought that she was afraid that her family would worry. Thinking that it would be better to notify the two elders to come back after the two of them settled down, he did not insist:

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Seeing her dejected, Beitang Yi felt bad too, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the full moon in the sky:

"Would you like to enjoy the lanterns and visit the night market?"

"Uh?"

His eyes lit up for a moment and then quickly dimmed:

"Forget it. What's the point of going out alone? I'm already satisfied to be able to enjoy the moon with you freely like this."

In this age of constraints and numerous rules, what can we appreciate even from the most beautiful scenery?

Mu Lianzhi just complained in her heart, and the next second, she was dragged up:

"We can also enjoy the lanterns together."

……

When Mu Lianzhi came to her senses again, her face had changed and she was wearing a narrow-sleeved, convenient dress. Beitang Yi was holding her on the horse and holding her in front of him, with a veil covering her face.

"Wow~"

She had never thought that the two of them could be out in the open and together in this way. Mu Lianzhi was so excited that she turned back and forth several times. Then she felt that the voice was wrong, and she called him hoarsely again:

"Master Beitang, can't you tell it's me now?"

Seeing her eyes shining brightly, Beitang Yi unconsciously curled the corners of his lips:

"Well, today you are my favorite concubine, the orphan girl I just picked up, and my little sweetheart who I've been crazy about recently. Just call me 'Xin'er'! You can have whatever you want and do whatever you want. Who among the women in this pavilion dares to be presumptuous?"

As he spoke, Beitang Yi raised his hand to help her adjust the veil on her face:

"This face is still quite pretty. It's better not to show it if you can. I don't want to fall in love with Xin'er today and end up not being able to marry Zhizhi in the future."

"Hee hee~"

With a sweet smile, Mu Lianzhi's eyebrows curved:

"Then let's go, run, but don't, don't fall on me."

Beitang Yi pulled the reins and spurred his horse forward. Mu Lianzhi, who was riding a horse for the first time, cheered excitedly and talked and laughed all the way, totally unaware of how intimate their posture was and how many eyes they attracted along the way.

When they arrived at Chiyan Street, Beitang Yi personally carried her off the horse, which immediately caused an uproar among the people around.

At this time, the wide streets were decorated with lights and bustling with people. It was a colorful, prosperous and bustling scene. Mu Lianzhi was amazed and jumped in with her skirt lifted.

"Boss, how much is the sugar painting? Give me one."

"Okay, two cents, take your pick."

"Boss, you are so cruel. Why do you catch even the cubs of the whole family? Can they sing?"

"Miss, this is a lovebird, not an oriole. They live better in pairs. This is their offspring. I am kindhearted and my family is so neat. Give me two. Look how lively and pretty they are. They sing pretty well. That one is a parrot. It is also easy to raise and can talk."

"Hey, sir..."

"Go away, my family doesn't like you."

Mu Lianzhi walked, shopped and bought things along the way. From time to time, she would explode like a little beast and turn around to protect her man. Beitang Yi followed her happily like a little tail, while Yingfeng and Yingbei were responsible for paying and carrying the goods.

At first, Mu Lianzhi wanted to buy everything she saw, but the more she walked, she found that it was inconvenient for her to eat with her outfit, and there were too many beautiful things to buy them all, so she just started shopping.

On this day, Beitang Yi was wearing a plain white gown, and Yingfeng and Yingbei were also wearing navy blue casual clothes. They were very eye-catching in the crowd. And Mu Lianzhi in front was more like a bird that had escaped from its cage, all it needed to do was spread its wings and fly. If Beitang Yi hadn't pulled her from time to time, smoke would have come out of her feet.

When she reached the end of the street, Mu Lianzhi realized that Yanjing was really bustling that night. Standing at the crossroads, people from all directions were equally bustling.

She was still deciding which direction to go when several male voices rang out:

"Master Beitang——"

Turning around, she saw several men in plain clothes approaching one after another, greeting each other, and then the leading man's eyes fell on her:

"Master Beitang is in a good mood. I wonder which young lady is so lucky to be treated so well by Master Beitang?"

"I can already tell from her appearance that she must be a rare and beautiful woman!"

"Sir, why don't you introduce us? It would be helpful to broaden our horizons."

"Yeah yeah."

Several men were talking to each other, some were probing, some were joking, and some were behaving in an uncomfortably frivolous way. Mu Lianzhi just looked up at the man beside her and said nothing.

"If you have nothing to do, please do as you please. I have to enjoy the lantern show, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

That night, she couldn't remember how many times she had seen someone so arrogant and disrespectful. Whenever someone was curious about her, he usually had this attitude.

Mu Lianzhi was taken away, but her body and mind were warm.

The group of men behind him were left dumbfounded, their faces pale, and after a long while they finally asked soul-searching questions:

Who is she?

Did they just say the wrong thing?
