Shan Liancheng's lips were as red as blood. Without saying anything further, he took out three bowls, filled them to the brim and, with an imposing manner that shot like a rainbow, drank them all in one go.

Cheers sounded out from all directions. Yun Qixi felt that Yue Yang was drinking alcohol as if he was drinking water.

The moon was high in the sky, and no matter how drunk he was, the Wine God and the Immortal had to be under the influence of the strong alcohol. Shan Liancheng's eyes were a little bloodshot, and he had already reached the stage where he could breathe.

Shan Jingyan was even more straightforward, he plopped down on the table and slept unconscious.

The only one who was more clear-headed was Yun Qixi. Under Shan Liancheng's help, they barely drank a few mouthfuls.

The night in the prairie was especially cold. If Shan Jingyan was allowed to sleep here, he probably wouldn't need to wake up the next day. Helpless, everyone had drank most of it, but no one actually noticed that something was wrong with Shan Jingyan.

Yun Qixi tugged on Shan Liancheng's arm from under the table, looked at Shan Jingyan and said, "Tianliang, Jing Yan is injured, you cannot sleep in the wild."

Shan Liancheng looked in the direction of her gaze, which was a bit gentler than usual, and spoke with a slightly intoxicated tone, "Go and ask the two guards to carry him back to the tent."

Yun Qixi nodded her head as she tiptoed out of the banquet area and called for the two guards. When the two came closer, she laughed mischievously, thinking that the two were old acquaintances. It was the little guard who was called over to save a pot of child's urine.

Yun Qixi looked at that childish face of her that had a nervous expression, and said while giggling, "Fourth Prince drank too much, come with me to carry the others."

The young guard became even more nervous as he stuttered, "Yes, yes."

A few people entered the venue. Just as Shan Ziyin was talking about how he managed to hunt a cunning deer, he saw Yun Qixi bringing a familiar person over.

The little guard lowered his head, not daring to look at him too much. Only, Yun Qixi raised his head, looked at the Shan Ziyin who was barely holding in his red face, gave him a meaningful smile, and then carried Shan Jingyan away.

When Yun Qixi turned around, she thought about Shan Ziyin's face and almost laughed out loud. It was not easy getting back to the big tent, she threw Shan Jingyan onto the bed and started to laugh while covering her stomach with her hands.

The big tent was not far from the banquet, and he believed that he could hear the laughter, and of course, Shan Ziyin could hear it too, so was Yun Qixi doing this on purpose, or intentional?

After laughing for a long time, Yun Qixi rolled up her sleeves and wiped Shan Jingyan's face carefully with a wet towel. As shshewiped his face, she sighed with emotion, this Old Dan's bloodline was simply too scary. But Shan Jingyan was different. He was not as cold as Shan Liancheng, he was not as Yin as Shan Ziyin, he was only pure and real, as if he was untainted by dirt.

"If the alcohol capacity is not good, then why do you drink so much?" Yun Qixi complained in a low voice.

As the handkerchief in his hand grazed past Shan Jingyan's neck, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

Yun Qixi was shocked, she then woke up from her stupor and stared at Yun Qixi with blurry eyes.

"Seventh Festival!" His voice was hoarse from being burned by the strong alcohol, and there was a hint of heartache in it, making those who heard it feel sore.

"Seventh Festival!" The pain in his heart became even more obvious with this cry. Suddenly, her hand pulled, and Yun Qixi pounced forward with the force, her chest pressing onto his chest.

Yun Qixi moved, but he held her extremely tightly with one hand.

His clothes had a very clean soap fragrance, adding on to that, he kept mumbling her name. Yun Qixi couldn't bear it anymore, so she gave up resisting and just let him hug her.

"Yun Qixi was born on the evening of the seventh night in the fifth year of the Heavenly Treasure, so she was named the seventh night."

As Shan Jingyan talked to himself, his mind went back to the night of the Seventh Festival. He had said the same thing before he gave her the jade hairpin. However, when he said those words that day, he was very happy. He wasn't as depressed and sad as he was now.

Hearing the sound of footsteps entering the tent, Yun Qixi quivered, broke free from Shan Jingyan's embrace, and stood up.

Shan Jingyan's hands were empty, he looked at Shan Liancheng who was standing at the door, and his eyes regained some clarity.

Yun Qixi looked like a cat whose neck had been pinched by someone. She was extremely embarrassed, as she stiffly turned her head and was about to reveal a flattering smile, when she heard Shan Liancheng say without any emotion, "You go out first."

Yun Qixi rubbed her nose and walked out of the tent dejectedly. Just as she walked out, he saw a sneaky figure at the door.

"Qin Xue." Yun Qixi happily pounced forward.

Zhang Qinxue was so frightened that she trembled, barely holding back the scream in her throat.

Yun Qixi sneakily went over and asked while laughing, "Peeping?"

Zhang Qinxue felt extremely awkward.

Yun Qixi reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, smiling, "Let's go together."

Thus, the two of them laid down by the side of the tent, and heard Shan Jingyan speaking weakly: "Apologies."

Shan Liancheng was silent for a moment, before replying, "It's fine."

Shan Jingyan asked, "Third Brother, is the wedding day between you and Qixi going to end soon?"

Shan Liancheng did not speak.

"Do you still remember how the Royal Father evaluated me?" Shan Jingyan asked again.

"A gentleman doesn't fight."

Shan Jingyan laughed miserably, "A gentleman doesn't fight, a gentleman doesn't fight!"

Shan Liancheng remained silent.

Shan Jingyan knew Shan Liancheng's cold and aloof personality, so he talked to himself.

"Since I was young, I have never been like Second Brother, the eldest son of the direct disciples, busy with matters every day, nor like you, the Third Brother, joining the army and fighting in all four directions."

Because of the drunkenness, he spoke with a bit of difficulty. After a while, he smiled bitterly, "I'm very bored. I have everything, but it seems like I have nothing at all." Life is as flat as still water. "

Yun Qixi listened quietly with a heavy heart. It turned out that Shan Jingyan, who looked bright on the outside, was not as carefree and happy as he appeared to be.

"Perhaps it's because I've grown up in the palace and have gotten used to watching the women fight openly and secretly in the Royal Father's imperial harem, I always keep my distance from women, and I even fear women. But, Third Brother, do you know? Qi Xi was a very special woman. She was very different from all the other girls in the palace, especially different. She is free, free and straightforward, and she is very real. "

Suddenly mentioning her, Yun Qixi could not help but prick up her ears. At the same time, looking at Zhang Qinxue who was standing beside her which was becoming more and more nervous, she suddenly regretted pulling Zhang Qinxue along to listen in.

Shan Liancheng only listened quietly, without saying a word, his breath heavy.

Shan Jingyan miserably continued, "Third Brother, do you like her?"

Hearing him suddenly ask that, Yun Qixi felt a little nervous. She didn't know why, but she clearly didn't care about it, why does she especially want to know and is afraid of knowing the answer? "

Unfortunately she didn't hear Shan Liancheng's answer, and Shan Jingyan continued to speak, "Third Brother is good to her, she is so happy, let her be so happy forever, okay?"

After a long while, Shan Liancheng finally replied "Okay" and said, "You're drunk, take a rest first. "Don't think too much."

What did Shan Jingyan mean? Although he did not say it out loud, those who were not idiots should understand. Zhang Qinxue's face was pale as she stood there in a daze. Her face was filled with grievance, sadness, and disbelief.

"Xin, Qin Xue, Jing Yan is drunk. He said he was drunk and spouted nonsense." Yun Qixi tried to persuade her.

Zhang Qinxue looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said faintly, "Qixi, have you heard something? Speak the truth after drinking. " With that, she gave a pale smile and reached out to take the jade hairpin, placing it in her hand, "It's yours, it's yours. If not, you can't force it."

"Qin Xue, don't do this." Yun Qixi didn't know what to say either.

Zhang Qinxue shook her head, just as her tears were about to fall, she turned and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, I'm leaving first." After saying that, she quickly fled in panic.

Seeing that Zhang Qinxue's background had disappeared into the night, Yun Qixi retracted her gaze and looked at the jade hairpin in her hand in a daze.

After hearing what Shan Jingyan had to say, he started to recall everything that happened in the past. Actually, there were many things that she should have understood long ago. It was only because she was a modern woman with a personality that he had never been sensitive towards emotions.

Shan Liancheng suddenly opened the curtains and came out, seeing her standing at the door in a daze, his eyes looked at her for a moment, then suddenly pulled her up and walked away.

"Hey, where are you taking me?" Yun Qixi wanted to earn more.

Without saying a word, Shan Liancheng carried her and mounted the horse. He then straddled behind her and pulled the reins, causing the horse to gallop over.

The moonlight was clear and bright, the sound of music gradually stopped. The autumn night's wind blew on her body, Yun Qixi could not help but shiver.

As if he had sensed something, Shan Liancheng tightly hugged the woman in his embrace as he rode on without stopping.

The cool wind and the smell of the grass and soil kicked out by the horse made the horse run very fast. It was also a bit irritable, unlike his usual calm demeanor.

There were several times when Yun Qixi wanted to ask him where he was going, but she didn't say it out loud. She had the nagging feeling that he was angry, and in this kind of situation, asking another question didn't seem right.

The horses had gone far, and the sounds of the feast and the bright fire were gone, leaving only the silent darkness of the prairie.

Yun Qixi raised her head, looked at the half moon in the sky, and suddenly laughed: "This moon doesn't seem to be as fast as us, Master, you are awesome!"

This was the first thing they said on their way out. It was something they didn't know how to say.

Shan Liancheng lowered his head to look at her upturned face. His breath that carried the scent of alcohol landed on her face, mixed with the smell of the mud and grass.

Finally, in an open area, Shan Liancheng pulled on the reins, jumped off the horse, and carried Yun Qixi off the horse easily.

They stood facing each other in silence.

Yun Qixi looked at him quietly as the moonlight shined on his face, making him look indescribably handsome and handsome. His silhouette was hidden in the hazy night, and he could no longer discern his emotions. His dark eyes never left her face.

Yun Qixi suddenly laughed, "Why do you keep staring at me? I know I'm beautiful, you …"

A powerful arm suddenly drew her close and held her tight.
