Big guys are my little brothers

Chapter 234 Nanyue Lantern Festival
"Um…"

"What did he come to see you for?"

"What do you say?" She looked at him.

Si Liang was silent for a while, then looked up at her, "If it were you, would you interfere with my affairs like my father?"

"I never get involved in human affairs." She said lightly.

Suddenly, he came up and slightly approached her.

She could feel the familiar breath of the man.

Subconsciously, she couldn't help but back away.

He stepped on the edge of the steps and leaned over.

In the next second, a strong arm grabbed her waist.

What followed was his breath approaching her.

The sacrificial hall was empty, only the two of them maintained this movement.

After a few seconds, she pushed him away.

"You...! Bold." She said angrily.

He suddenly looked at her with deep eyes, and said slowly, "I'm not married, I'm waiting for a woman I want to marry..."

Hearing this, Ji Keyue was startled.

After a while, he left.

On the second day, the witch Luo Jing entered the main hall, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands, the flowers in the emperor's palace were white, the flowers were beautiful and bright, refreshing.

The moment Luo Jing raised her head, something flickered in her eyes. She nodded to Ji Keyue and said, "High Priest, this is sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Keyue glanced at it, then walked down the steps slowly.

Standing in front of Luo Jing, looking at the bouquet of flowers in her hand, meditating.

"High Priest, here is a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Ji Keyue took it from her hand.

It read, "Guess... who am I waiting for?"

Just one sentence made her in a trance.

It was as if something had penetrated deep into her heart...

At this time, the Buddhist beads hanging in the sacrificial hall were quietly emitting a faint light. There seemed to be a cloud of fog swirling in the Buddhist beads. Immediately, the former clarity was restored in the Buddhist beads.

Ji Keyue's originally confused eyes immediately returned to indifference.

"Burn it," she said.

Luo Jing was slightly surprised, "High Priest, this is from His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"It's not proper for the prince to give you this gift."

Flowers are a metaphor for people, and Nanyue advocates sending flowers.

It should be Yun Lanbai who sent the teacher flowers.

But Huashangbai has a bit of the meaning of young men and women giving each other away.

Luo Jing retreated silently.

At night, the prayer beads in the sacrificial hall change.

Ji Keyue sat cross-legged and closed her eyes tightly.

A strange light suddenly appeared in the night sky outside the hall.

She slowly opened her eyes and pinched her fingertips.

The next successor is about to appear...

"High Priest, did you receive the gift from me?"

In the study, Prince Nanyue smiled.

Ji Keyue nodded slightly at him, and said calmly, "I hope the prince will not give the wrong gift again."

Hearing this, the prince gave a meal.

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

"His Royal Highness, I am the high priest of Nanyue, and it is my duty to protect the common people in the world."

After speaking, she turned and left.

And he kept staring at her receding back, standing there motionless.

The dark eyes are getting deeper and deeper...

In the past few days, a major event happened in Nanyue.

The Southern Emperor pointed out a marriage to the prince in the Tianchao Hall.

But the prince refused in front of the officials.

The Southern Emperor was furious and ordered the prince to be confined in the mansion.

In the restaurant, the people are discussing this matter.

"What do you think the prince is thinking? He dared to defy the decree openly in the Palace of Heaven. Doesn't this prevent the Southern Emperor from stepping down?"

"Hey, it's not like you don't know, when did the prince have a woman by his side?"

"From our point of view, he is still the prince..." The man stopped abruptly, not daring to continue.

Everyone knew each other clearly in their hearts, but no one dared to say it openly.

"But it's not a solution for the prince to spend so much time not marrying a wife. He is the future emperor."

"Ugh……"

There was a burst of wailing from the crowd.

In the sacrificial hall, the witch Luo Jing came into the hall.

He whispered, "High Priest, His Royal Highness is here..."

Ji Keyue was taken aback. "What is he doing here?"

"I don't know."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Prince Siliang stood in the sacrificial hall, looked up at her and said, "You haven't come to my Prince's residence for many days."

"The prince is still in confinement, I should not come."

"It's not suitable to come, or I dare not come."

As he said this, he had already walked up the steps and came to her.

A pair of dark and deep eyes looked at her without blinking.

She shifted her gaze, "His Royal Highness, please go back."

The next second, he took a few steps towards her, and the distance between the two was only a few millimeters.

She raised her head slightly and could touch his chin.

She couldn't help frowning, and was about to back away, when he heard him approaching her ear and said, "The high priest has someone he likes."

She froze for a moment, about to get angry.

"The high priest is not married, and I am not married, can I..."

"Ridiculous!" Ji Keyue interrupted him after hearing this.

Immediately, she pushed him away.

"I don't want to hear anything against the rules from the prince's mouth."

Hearing this, the prince's downcast eyes covered the darkness.

"Luo Jing." She called out to the witch who was guarding outside, "Send the prince back to the mansion."

Luo Jing opened the door and came in, came to Si Liang, and whispered, "His Royal Highness, please follow the slave."

However, he stood still, his eyes staring at her without blinking.

It wasn't until Luo Jing called out again that he pursed his lips, looked up at her for the last time, and then turned and left.

"In the future, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes again, you will replace him with my Buddha."

Luo Jing raised her eyes, then lowered her eyes and said, "Yes..."

A few days later, the Southern Emperor came to the sacrificial hall.

Luo Jinghui reported, "High Priest, the Southern Emperor is here to invite you to the Prince's Mansion."

"Answer it for me, the prince is smart and doesn't need my guidance anymore."

"Yes..." Luo Jing withdrew.

The Southern Emperor heard the answer and went back.

In this way, Ji Keyue stayed in the sacrificial hall for a month.

Today is the Lantern Festival that only happens once every five years in Nanyue.

The streets of Nanyue are covered with colorful lanterns.

Ji Keyue stood on the altar, looking at the people on the street with happy smiles from a distance.

At this time, Luo Jing came up and bowed her head, "High Priest, do you want to go shopping in the street tonight?"

"No need." She turned around.

"The Lantern Festival in Nanyue comes only once every five years. The high priest has nothing to do tonight, so he can go and relax and see the people's attitudes."

Hearing this, Ji Keyue looked up at her.

Luo Jing lowered her head, feeling her gaze.

Can't help but feel frightened.

Ji Keyue looked at it for a few seconds before saying, "Then go."

Hearing this, Luo Jing felt that her whole body was relaxed.

The master and servant changed into simple attire.

Just like Li Min, they put on a mask of evil spirits on their faces.

Even so, Ji Keyue walked in the crowd, dressed in white, still attracting attention.

"You two girls, do you need to buy a lantern?"

A small vendor stopped them.

"No need." Ji Keyue said calmly.

"Girl, tonight is the rare Lantern Festival in Nanyue every five years. Don't you buy one to pray for blessings? As long as you take this lantern and worship in the direction of the sacrificial hall, you will be blessed by the high priest."
