Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 168

Upon seeing such an ethereal figure for the first time, the shopkeeper was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and said, "Half a tael of silver."

"Here you go." After the shopkeeper finished wrapping it up, Li Ge took Qing Yun's hand for the first time in public and they walked slowly down the street.

A blush gradually rose on Qingyun's cheeks. She stole a glance at Lige and, upon seeing the tenderness and affection in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat. Despite her doubts, she held back, quietly savoring the silent sweetness and the happiness churning within her heart.

The two walked slowly hand in hand amidst the strange looks from passersby. Gradually, the streets thinned out, the sky turned golden, and dusk arrived.

The golden sunlight cast long, long shadows of the two of them. They walked silently, without saying a word, as if they could walk together until the end of time.

Li Ge thought of Feng Xue in the palace. She had a noble status and unparalleled talent, but how many things had she experienced that ordinary children from common families went through?

While they were playing with kites, she was learning etiquette at the palace…

While they played in the fields, she was learning the knowledge required of a royal princess...

While they counted the stars in the night sky and fell asleep to their mother's gentle voice, she was learning how to navigate the intrigues and power struggles of the palace...

In the past, if you asked Fengxue if she believed in Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy who grants children, she would answer indifferently, "No, I don't." She only believed in herself.

She grew up in darkness, which made her heart shine brighter than most. She carefully navigated the role of a princess. That childlike heart, which everyone possesses, gradually faded into the deepest recesses of her heart as time passed, and the assassination attempt she encountered upon reaching marriageable age was like the endless darkness of hell, burying it deep within her.

And now, her childlike innocence is slowly being revived under his care. He couldn't participate in or change her childhood. But he is in her future. He will let her experience what everyone else experiences; he will make her life complete; he will make her the happiest woman in the world!

Bathed in the glow of dusk, Li Ge's brown eyes shimmered with a soft golden light, like the rippling surface of a lake, stirring the heart.

Suddenly, Li Ge felt his grip tighten. He looked down and saw Qing Yun looking hesitant.

"Woman, what are you trying to say?"

“You…” Qingyun pursed her lips, “You’re acting very strangely today.”

Li Ge chuckled softly, about to say something, when a shout rang out behind her—"Selling candied hawthorns! Selling candied hawthorns! One coin a skewer—"

A gentle light flashed in Li Ge's brown eyes, "Woman, I'll buy you candied hawthorns."

He let go of Qingyun's hand, ran to the vendor selling candied hawthorns, and bought a skewer of candied hawthorns.

Under the golden twilight, Li Ge was enveloped in soft light. Looking at the tenderness in Li Ge's eyes and hearing his gentle voice, Qing Yun suddenly trembled and understood the reason for his strange behavior today.

Her nose suddenly felt very sore, but her heart felt very sweet. These two extremes made her feel like she was on a high cloud.

She sniffed hard, gave a bright smile, and ran towards Li Ge.

"Woman, are you in such a hurry?"

"Give it to me!"

She reached out and took the candied hawthorn from Li Ge.

We ate as we walked.

"good."

"So sweet...so sour..."

"Really? I'll try. It really is a bit sour!"

"Hey! You can't steal my candied hawthorn!"

"..."

"Ugh... there's only one left."

"..."

"Bad Farewell Song..."

"..."

"You are a bad farewell song..."

...

"Woman, I'll buy it for you next time."

"good."

The gentle twilight stretched their shadows long and long, as if they could stretch forever.

After returning to the palace, night fell. Qingyun first went to Yuxuan to give the jade Guanyin to Wuxia, and then Qingyun talked about praying for blessings before returning to Xuedian.

As soon as she stepped into the Snow Palace, Qianghui cried to Qingyun with tears in her eyes, "Princess...Princess...you're finally back! Qianghui has been waiting for you for so long!"
