    The King of England looked back at Lin Wan, and said to the attendant eunuch, "Go and see who is on it." After that, he turned to Lin Wan and said, "Miss Lin, it's a bit cold tonight, you should wear more clothes. ."

    "Thank you, Lord, for your concern." Lin Wan smiled stiffly, knowing that she was going to meet the King of England tonight. She carefully matched her clothes and jewelry to show off her good looks.

    She tried her best to dress up, not to make a man remind her that it was cold.

    Whether it's cold or not, she didn't know in her heart, she needs him to remind?

    It's a pity that the King of England didn't understand her thoughts. When he saw the eunuch who was attending the eunuch and returned, he frowned and said, "What's the matter, I asked you to find out who the person above is, what are you doing back?"

    "The prince, the maidservant just remembered one thing," the eunuch at the attendant whispered, "In the past, the prince loved to watch the lights on the Lantern Festival every year."

    "What kind of shabby hair is he..." The King of England said in a tone, and he suddenly remembered that tomorrow is the day of worship for Empress Gonghui, the birth mother of the prince.

    The King of England didn't remember exactly what kind of woman the prince's birth mother Huifei was. He only remembered that Ji Yuansu was less than five years old when Concubine Hui was in her midst. After Ji Yuansu was named the prince, the concubine Hui's mother was honored with her son, and was named queen by the father.

    Probably not a gorgeous beauty. If she hadn't given birth to a son who was pleasing to her father, she would have no sense of existence until death.

    "Since the prince is on the top, we won't bother." Before entering Beijing, Lin Wan had already inquired about the relationship between several princes, so he didn't want to have a conflict between the two brothers at this time.

    If there are rumors that the eldest son and the prince were at odds on the night of her meeting with the King of England, how can she still be a person in the capital in the future?

    Not only her, but even her father's reputation will be affected.

    "The prince can go, and the king can go." The King of England didn't have much interest in the viewing platform, but after hearing that the prince was on it, he insisted on going up instead.

    Lin Wan persuaded a few words euphemistically, seeing that King Ying's face became more and more ugly, so he closed his mouth.

    As he went up, the wind grew stronger. Lin Wan touched his cold arm, looked up at the stage, and stopped. That figure is a prince, clearly like a woman.

    She wanted to stop Lord Ying, but Lord Ying had already been a few steps ahead of her, so she gritted her teeth and followed.

    "Someone is coming?" Hua Liuli looked at the steps and met the eyes of the King Ying who was hurriedly climbing up.

    Looking at Hua Liuli's petite face, the British King was inexplicably afraid to look at Hua Liuli's eyes. Probably because he knew that Hua Liuli almost became the British princess, and now he brought his fiancée to stand with her, there was always a sense of guilty conscience that was not justified.

    "Big brother." The prince walked out of the shadows, he walked to Hua Liuli, and said to King Ying who was in a daze, "Big brother is so elegant today, come to enjoy the scenery?"

    He glanced at the young woman who was far behind the British King, and guessed the plan of Concubine Xian. It's a pity that Concubine Xian obviously overestimated her son's ability to coax a woman, and let the King of England get along with his fiancée alone, not to cultivate feelings, but to hold back.

    The King of England climbed up to the observation deck, noticed Hua Liuli's obviously unfitting cloak, turned his head and sullenly said to the prince, "I just passed by, so I came here to have a look. I didn’t expect it would be such a coincidence that I would meet the prince and Fushou. The princess also enjoys the scenery here."

    Hua Liuli blessed the British king and stepped aside, wisely leaving this opportunity for "friendly exchange" to the two brothers. Just standing in the corner, a young woman came up with a posture like a weak Liu Fufeng, the night wind lifted her skirt, as if she would be blown away by the wind.

    Who is this?

    The King of England did not say who the person who came with him was, and Hua Liuli did not step up to greet him, but only slightly nodded.

    Hua Liuli didn't know Lin Wan, but Lin Wan knew Hua Liuli. When the King of England mentioned the words "Princess Fushou", she knew who this woman was standing with the prince and admiring the scenery.

    The face of the other party is more beautiful than she thought, especially the watery eyes, it is easy to make people feel pity.

    She knew that the king of England and Fushou Princess had almost entered into a marriage contract earlier, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart. Seeing Hua Liuli nodded at her, she was blessed.

    Perhaps it was because she had just entered Beijing and was still very unfamiliar with the capital, so she felt a sense of embarrassment at a loss when standing on this viewing platform. From her to the present, neither the prince nor the king looked at her more, as if she did not exist at all.

    A gust of wind hit the palace wall and whine.

    "Is it cold?" Lin Wan looked up to answer when he heard King Ying's voice, only to find that the King was looking at Fushou instead of himself.

    "It's not cold, the cloak that His Royal Highness gave to the courtier is very warm." Hua Liuli shook her head quickly, and the King of England brought a woman to enjoy the scenery and ran to ask her if she was cold and why?

    Isn't this pulling hatred for her? Unexpectedly, the King of England looked simple and honest, and knew a little bit about palace fighting methods. After all, the prince who came out of the palace was more experienced than others.

    But she must not sit and wait for death. If there are any rumors that make people suspect that she is picking a man's eyes, it is impossible to tell if she really jumped into the Yellow River.

    Hua Liuli hurriedly moved a few steps to the prince's side, be sure to let the woman see clearly that she came up with the prince and had nothing to do with the king.

    "The prince may have forgotten. The Fushou princess is weak and can't blow the wind." The British king sneered at the prince, "If the princess got sick, how would you explain to General Hua and General Wei?"

    The prince nodded: "Big Brother is right." He turned to look at Hua Liuli, "Princess, I will send you back alone."

    It is rare for the prince to hear what he said, but the British king just felt a little aggrieved.

    "Okay." Hua Liuli didn't want to stay here to affect the meeting between the British king and the girl, and quickly nodded and agreed.

    "Be careful." The prince still put a handkerchief on her palm, and when Hua Liuli passed her hand over, she held her hand in her palm and led her to walk slowly.

    The large cloak was dragged on the ground, and under the light of the palace lantern, it exuded a faint golden light, which was the light of gold thread embroidered in the cloak.

    Lin Wan looked at the cloak that was shining with stars in the dark night, turned to look at King Ying, shivering with cold.

    "That is the future Princess of England, Miss Lin Family." Walking off the viewing platform, the prince told Hua Liuli the identity of the strange woman. The little girl next to her almost became the Princess of England, but her reaction to this was calm.

    "Oh." Hua Liuli nodded. She had heard Jiamin mentioned about Princess Ying before, but now she is not too curious. She took off her cloak, "His Royal Highness, return this to you."

    "Put it on." The prince stood on the spot, "It's late at night, let the palace lady take you back."

    Hua Liuli nodded, she turned and walked away after saluting. When got to the corner, saw that the prince was still standing there, looking up at the moon in the sky with his hands on his back.

    Look at beauties under the moon, the more you look, the better you look.

    She had long noticed that the prince was in a bad mood tonight, but as a foreign minister, she couldn't manage too much of the prince's affairs, so she could only pretend that she didn't know anything.

    It's a pity that the beauty is confusing, and she suddenly felt that if she left the prince in a bad mood, her conscience would be disturbed.

    "His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli turned and walked to the prince, looking at him with a smile, "The outside of the palace is so lively, do you want to take a look together?"

    The prince looked at Hua Liuli in a daze, and suddenly smiled: "Okay."

    "Princess..." Seeing that her master had to go out of the palace late at night for beauty, she whispered, "You haven't gone back for so long, do you want to send someone to tell your wife?"

    "Yurong." Hua Liuli said to another close-knit maid, "Go back and tell your mother, I went out to buy beautiful lanterns with the Prince."

    Before Yu Rong refused, she dragged the prince away.

    The maid sent a fitted cloak to Hua Liuli to put on. The prince put the cloak replaced by Hua Liuli directly on himself, and smiled at Hua Liuli: "Go."

    When the palace attendants saw that the prince really abducted Princess Fushou out of the palace to play, they called the guards and prepared horses. But Iris looked calm, and quickly followed Hua Liuli.

    It is said that the general was shocked when he saw his wife, and was beaten and scolded and wanted to marry his wife. When the princess of her family saw such a beautiful prince, just accompany him out to see the lanterns is already considered implicit.

    The love and beauty of the Hua family's ancestors cannot be changed.

    Walking out of the palace, it seemed that even the wind outside was a bit more smoky. The two came to one of the busiest streets. The lovers in pairs on the street were talking and laughing. Hua Liuli sighed and said: "Tonight, there is full of malice towards people without partners."

    She saw that many shops were holding riddles and lanterns, and felt that although she couldn't guess riddles, she could still spend money to buy lanterns. So I spent money to buy the most beautiful lantern, and sent it to the prince: "His Royal Highness, for you."

    The prince laughed blankly: "For the lonely?"

    "A flower lantern is a gift to a beautiful woman. Your Royal Highness is the most suitable one to carry this lantern." Hua Liuli coughed her mouth with a handkerchief, "Go, let's go ahead and take a look."

    The prince lifted the lantern and looked at it carefully. It was a fox worshiping the moon lantern, and the naive fox had a bit of agility in his eyes.

    fox?

    As Hua Yingting's daughter, Hua Liuli was stunned by her eyes, and she learned how Hua Yingting can make beautiful women happy since she was a child.

    To put it nicely, the most important thing to watch the moonlight with is to buy and buy.

    It's a pity that Qinghan Prefecture doesn't have much to spend money on, and there is no beauty that she wants to coax, the first person she practiced.

    On the open-air stage, there are the beauty lantern festivals held by the major beauties. The stage is crowded with excited men, shouting for the beauties they like.

    There are vendors selling food not far away, the tables are full of people, and there are government officials patrolling from time to time, which is noisy and lively.

    When they walked to the river, men and women, old and young, gathered around the bank to light up lights and make wishes. There were many lanterns floating on the river, like twinkling stars in the Milky Way.

    Hua Liuli winked at Iris, and Iris immediately bought two river lanterns.

    "His Royal Highness, do you want a wish?" Hua Liuli handed the river lantern to the prince.

    The prince took the light and looked up at the flashing river surface: "I never believe this."

    "It doesn't matter, the courtier doesn't actually believe it." Hua Liuli walked to the river and waved to the prince standing by the river bank, "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but the sense of ritual is very important."

    The prince handed the fox looking at the moon lantern to the guard behind him, and took the river lantern and walked to Hua Liuli: "What wish does the princess have tonight?"

    "I don't seem to lack anything. I don't have any wish to be fulfilled." Hua Liuli looked at the moonlight reflection on the water, lit the lamp with flint, and knelt down to look at the prince. "Then wish your highness's wish can be realized?"

    The river lantern swayed gently on the surface of the water, and the prince took the look of Hua Liuli and put the lantern on it: "You don't know what lonely wish is."

    "That's not important, the most important thing is to participate." Hua Liuli put her cheeks in her hands and looked at the prince with a smile, "His Royal Highness, many things don't necessarily require results, just be happy."

    The prince chuckled and watched the two river lamps drift away slowly. The river under his feet, wonder how many people's wishes were carried by the river?

    "The lonely thank you the princess."
