Chapter 92 Her Color
Before the Lantern Festival began, Ji Yanqing took Ye Jinshu for a walk around.

In fact, Ye Jinshu had never visited the imperial city in detail. She originally thought it would be boring to stroll around with Ji Yanqing, but when they really started strolling together, there was no sense of strangeness as Ye Jinshu had imagined.

It’s actually quite interesting.

While walking with Ji Yanqing at the foot of the imperial city, Ye Jinshu suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen somewhere.

The long alleys of the market are filled with fireworks and scattered as the world of people.

The palace is a unique place, above the common people, yet out of sight of the human world.

In the past, Ye Jinshu didn’t care about the human world, but now she can see it.

It was clear that the surroundings were not beautiful enough to move people. Even the noisy sounds that fell into the ears were mixed with curses with a smell of fireworks.

But even in such an environment, Ye Jinshu felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

The two of them had already walked for a while, but Ji Yanqing still only dared to put his hand on Ye Jinshu's fingertips and shake him gently.

Ye Jinshu suddenly held Ji Yanqing tightly with his backhand, causing Ji Yanqing to look back: "Miss? Is there anything you want to buy?"

Ye Jinshu shook his head: "I don't want to buy anything, just walk for a while."

Ji Yanqing stared at her and replied softly, "Okay."

The two of them strolled in the streets and alleys like this. Ye Jinshu suddenly insisted on walking in front of Ji Yanqing, leaving Ji Yanqing with only his back and his long hair gently blown by the wind.

Ji Yanqing reached out and grabbed the corner of Ye Jinshu's clothes: "Miss, just once today, can I walk beside you?"

Ye Jinshu turned around after hearing that. Her beautiful eyes and eyebrows became clear yet blurry among her messy hair blown by the wind.

Only the smile in the words was clearly audible: "Ji Yanqing, has anyone ever told you that you are good at seeking favors?"

Ji Yanqing had never seen such a bright and beautiful smile like the summer sun on Ye Jinshu's face.

Most of the time Ye Jinshu's laughter was just a passing mention, but otherwise it would be a heartfelt laugh from the bottom of his heart.

It was indeed the first time that Ji Yanqing had seen such a reserved lady from an official family and a smile of unparalleled elegance that showed she was deeply in love with the world.

It was even more stunning than anything he had ever seen in his dreams.

At this time, there was still warm sunlight shining all around.

The residual heat seemed to have also infected people's bodies. If not, the heat in his heart could only be felt by his thoughts.

Ji Yanqing lowered his eyes, hiding the desire that was about to be hidden, and tried his best to restrain himself: "Aunt Cui often teaches me this."

Ye Jinshu laughed even more happily when he heard this: "Xiao Cui is like this."

Ji Yanqing listened to Ye Jinshu talking about Xiao Cui in his ear. To be honest, he had no interest in Xiao Cui at all. It was only because these words came from Ye Jinshu's mouth that he didn't want to miss any word.

This was the first time that Ye Jinshu revealed her views on the palace to others. The two chatted back and forth, and it was unknown who held the other's hand first. That cautious heat could no longer be satisfied with the touch of fingertips.

The two of them played outside like this until they reached the market where lights that did not belong to the daytime began to appear.

Ji Yanqing brought Ye Jinshu to the streets where the lantern festival was held. Although it was not completely dark yet, the surroundings were bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking lanterns were endless. The various lanterns reflected in Ye Jinshu's eyes had the familiar flavor of the lantern festival.

When Ye Jinshu first heard Ji Yanqing say that it was a spontaneous lantern festival, she thought there would be fewer people. She also came to take a look with the intention of showing her support, but she didn't expect to find that there were quite a lot of people when she actually arrived at the lantern festival.

The level of liveliness is even comparable to that of a large-scale lantern festival.

This made her seem a little arrogant in her original intention of coming to show her support. The two of them stood in the middle of the crowd. Seeing that Ye Jinshu seemed a little hesitant, Ji Yanqing took the initiative to suggest, "Today, all the lanterns have answers. If you answer the answers correctly and find the corresponding store, there will be a special surprise. Miss, do you want to try it?"

It was the first time that Ye Jinshu heard of this kind of play. Her eyes lit up: "Yes!"

"There are masks over there. I'll go buy one for the lady first." Ji Yanqing suggested this because he found that people around them were looking at them vaguely.

Ye Jinshu's appearance and temperament were first-class. Although she was wearing a veil at this time, she still had a mysterious beauty.

Ji Yanqing thought very highly of Ye Jinshu in his heart. He imagined that everyone would have intentions towards Ye Jinshu, but he did not expect that his face was not ordinary either.

It was Ye Jinshu who discovered this.

"Buy yourself a mask, too."

After listening to Ye Jinshu's words, Ji Yanqing thought he understood the meaning. He looked around and took Ye Jinshu straight to the nearest stall selling masks.

The man selling masks was an old man with a gentle expression. When he looked at Ye Jinshu and Ji Yanqing, there was some kindness in his eyes that an old man looks at his younger generation, which made Ye Jinshu feel very comfortable.

However, the next moment.

"Sir, what kind of mask do you want to buy for your wife?"

Ye Jinshu:?

Before Ye Jinshu could refute, Ji Yanqing had already replied, "I want the most expensive and best."

Ye Jinshu instantly forgot what he was going to say.

She had no idea that Ji Yanqing, who looked like an ethereal being, actually had such a lavish consumption concept.

And judging from his skilled look, it seems this is not the first time.

After hearing what Ji Yanqing said, the old man smiled even more kindly, and he slowly took a mask off the shelf in front of him.

Ye Jinshu didn't see the specific appearance of the mask, but the old man smiled brightly at her while holding the mask and waved at her to come over.

Ye Jinshu could not resist the kindness of such an old man, so he obediently stretched his face forward.

But the old man just gestured the mask on Ye Jinshu's face, turned around and handed the mask to Ji Yanqing, "Madam will be very suitable for this mask."

Ye Jinshu:?

Ye Jinshu just stared at Ji Yanqing, thinking that Ji Yanqing would at least explain a few words, but he didn't expect that he just took the mask from the old man's hand and looked at it carefully.

Then he said to Ye Jinshu, "I'll put it on for Madam."

Ye Jinshu didn't move, just looked at Ji Yanqing, confronting him silently?
It was also at this time that Ye Jinshu discovered that Ji Yanqing's eyes could no longer hide all emotions, nor could they imitate the emptiness of all emotions.

At this moment, there was only a figure reflected in his eyes.

The fragmented light from the lights surrounding him, contrasting with the night, added a vague haziness to his beautiful face.

It's like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Ye Jinshu discovered that the man who had stunned her instantly when they first met was now tinged with some of her color.
