I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 129 An Unforgettable Night

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, not to mention that they are always very polite and polite. Wei Changtian can't pretend to be forceful in this situation, so he had no choice but to spit out two words.

"It's okay."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, brother, then I won't bother you two."

The young master cupped his hands again, then turned his head and walked away, completely cutting off Wei Changtian's chance to show himself in front of others.

If it were Xiao Feng, he would probably have already finished pretending to be coercive by now.

Wei Changtian sighed lightly, and casually asked Ning Yuke, "Are you okay?"

"nothing."

Ning Yuke shook her head, then asked with a smile, "Young Master Wei, how many lantern riddles have you guessed?"

"I didn't guess a single one."

"Hehehe, I'm afraid the young master didn't guess at all."

Ning Yuke stretched out her jade finger and pointed at the lantern riddle in front of her, and said softly, "I haven't figured this out after thinking about it for a long time, young master, let's see it?"

"."

It's fine if you don't let me pretend, but you still have to slap me in the face, right? !

Wei Changtian was speechless for a while, and looked up at the note, thinking what if he had seen it in his previous life.

For example, he still knows a thing or two about lantern riddles like "No bed on the wedding night".

It's a pity that such a vulgar lantern riddle will not appear on the current occasion, and what is written on the small note is——

【Four-faced Mountain Stream Shrimp Playing in the Water】

"hiss"

Obviously, how could Wei Changtian know the answer to the lantern riddle that even Ning Yuke hadn't guessed?

However, after he finished "hissing", Ning Yuke suddenly clapped her little hands, and softly said joyfully after suddenly realizing:

"That's right! It's the word 'thinking'!"

"???"

Wei Changtian was dumbfounded, and then he heard Ning Yuke analyze by himself:

"Surrounded by mountains and streams. Four characters for 'mountain' form a character for 'field', 'shrimp' is shaped like a crouching hook, and 'playing with water' is the character for 'thinking' when a few points of water around the crouching hook are combined!"

"Young Master solved the lantern riddles in one breath and said he couldn't guess any of them!"

Ning Yuke looked over with a smile in her eyes, but Wei Changtian was stupid.

Can this Nima hit? ? ?
After being embarrassed for quite a while, he touched his nose and said guiltyly:
"Hehe, just luck."

The new moon is like a hook, and the galaxy is brilliant.

A small river that is neither wide nor narrow flows slowly, and there are a few small boats with red lanterns floating on it. Some people are drinking and singing on the boat.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke sat in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, watching the bustling scene through the window, with a small wooden box not too delicate in hand.

This is their reward for answering all [-] lantern riddles, a wooden comb with a silver handle worth about one tael of silver.

Ning Yuke seemed to like this comb very much.

"Young Master Wei, can you give me this comb?"

"of course."

Wei Changtian nodded, not thinking about it at all.

Besides, Ning Yuke answered nineteen of the original twenty lantern riddles, and the only one she guessed came across by chance.
"Princess, after drinking this pot of tea, I will take you back to the palace."

Reaching out to pour a cup of tea for Ning Yuke, Wei Changtian said softly.

Hearing this, the smile in Ning Yuke's eyes gradually turned into disappointment.

She whispered something almost subconsciously.

“Just a little longer”

"."

Wei Changtian didn't respond, and after a moment of silence, he calmly said, "Princess, I will come to the door in five days to remove the scars on your face."

"As for the matter you promised me, after I arrange it, I will find someone to inform you secretly."

Although Wei Changtian can actually remove Ning Yuke's scar now, he still plans to wait a few more days.

Otherwise, it will appear that this matter is too simple, and it is easy to arouse suspicion from others.

"Well, according to what the young master said."

Ning Yuke took off her veil, gently picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, but Wei Changtian suddenly reached out and pressed her teacup down as if remembering something.

"Princess, wait a moment."

He also poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and felt that the temperature was moderate, Wei Changtian then let go of his hand and nodded.

"Okay."

"."

Ning Yuke was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and lowered her head to drink tea slowly.

She drank very slowly, as if she was reluctant to finish the tea.

Drunken laughter came from the small boat outside the window. Amidst the laughter, Ning Yuke suddenly raised her head and asked:
"Young master, if I really die when I take that thing, will it cause you trouble?"

"will not."

Wei Changtian shook his head, and said almost heartlessly: "You take this thing by yourself, and I will send someone to wait around."

"If you get it, you just need to hand it over to the person who responds."

"And if you unfortunately die in it, then this matter is just an accident, and no one will know that it is related to me."

"."

Wei Changtian's answer could be said to be cold-blooded enough, but Ning Yuke just nodded calmly after listening.

"Don't worry, son, I will definitely not tell anyone about this matter."

"."

Now it was Wei Changtian's turn to be silent.

He looked at Ning Yuke, who was as gentle as water, and after hesitating for a while, he suddenly said:

"Princess, why don't you think about it again."

"No need, if it wasn't for the young master's rescue that day, I would have died by the assassin's knife a long time ago."

"Since that thing is very important to you, I should help you."

"What's more, the young master also said that I only have a [-]% chance of dying. I don't think I will be so unlucky."

Ning Yuke smiled with a sincere expression.

She turned her head to look enviously at those rough men who were drinking heavily on the small boat, and finally asked in a low voice:
"Young master, can you grant me one more wish?"

"Princess, please speak."

"Can you drink some wine with me?"

"."

Wei Changtian paused for a moment, then shouted loudly outside the room:
"Little Er, get the wine!"

After half an hour.

Ordinary teahouse, although there is wine, it is not good.

Ning Yuke seldom drank alcohol, at most she just had a taste of it, and she had never put down all her burdens to drink to her heart's content like today.

Perhaps it was because she was delighted that she could restore her appearance in five days, or perhaps because she was free and easy in her life, which may not have much time left. She drank a few pots of bad wine by chance, and two red clouds had already appeared on her face.

And although Wei Changtian drank a lot more than Ning Yuke, he was a practitioner after all, so it was difficult to get drunk if he didn't want to.

"Princess, it's almost time."

After pouring the last small glass of wine for Ning Yuke, Wei Changtian finally persuaded, "You are already drunk."

"I'm not drunk!"

Like all drunk people, Ning Yuke muttered and drank the liquid in the wine cup, and then made a gesture to get the wine pot again.

"Snapped!"

The slender hand was grasped by a powerful palm, Wei Changtian shook his head and said helplessly, "Princess, forget it."

"Hmm~"

Ning Yuke twitched a few times, and suddenly said coquettishly like a child: "I still want to drink~"

"Don't drink!"

Wei Changtian yelled sharply, which finally frightened Ning Yuke.

"If you don't drink, then don't drink, what's wrong with you?"

Aggrieved, she lay down on the table, blinking her big eyes at Wei Changtian, and after watching for a while, she suddenly smiled again.

"Young master, do you like me?"

In normal times, Ning Yuke would not ask such a question even if she was beaten to death, so it can be seen that she is indeed very drunk now.

Of course Wei Changtian would not be serious with a drunk person, so he casually said, "I like it."

"Then do you like me more, or Yuzhu more?"

"you."

"My lord, don't lie to me!"

"Do not lie to you."

Wei Changtian glanced at Princess Rou'an whose mental age had been regressed by at least fifteen years, and sighed, "Princess, let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Send you home."

"Oh"

Ning Yuke shook her head, and just halfway up her body, she suddenly leaned back on the table and shouted:

"I won't go! I still want to listen to the young master's poems!"

"Writing poetry?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was writing a poem about Mao at this time.

You're so drunk, and I'm pretending that I don't even have an audience. Isn't this Jin Yi's work for nothing?
"Do it next time."

"No, I have to do it now!"

Ning Yuke refused to let her go, she thumped her long legs and said dissatisfiedly: "Young master is willing to write poems for Huakui, General Liang, and Yuzhu, why don't you write poems for me!"

"Besides, I, I'm afraid there won't be a next time."

"."

Hearing the last sentence, Wei Changtian's breathing seemed to stop for a beat, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He sighed deeply, walked to the window with the jug in his hand, and watched the night scene outside the window without saying a word for a long time.

The riverside is brightly lit, and the water surface is calm, reflecting countless lanterns on the bank.

But under this festive and happy river, there are shadows and unfathomable shadows, always seeming to hide another side of the unknown world.

The drunken man on the boat yelled louder, and what he said was nothing more than bragging.

These are all farmers who went to the city to sell grain. After spending the night in style, they will return to the lives of ordinary people tomorrow.

And just like them, after tonight, after waking up from the wine, Ning Yuke will become the well-educated Princess Rou'an again.

"Son."

At some point, a drunken little face suddenly appeared beside her.

Ning Yuke supported the window sill with both hands, her body was swaying, her long hair and white skirt were blown by the night wind, creating tiny ripples in the air.

She looked up at the star-studded night sky, then at Wei Changtian who was carrying a flagon, and asked in a low voice:
"My lord, where's the poem?"

"."

Wei Changtian paused for a while, then raised the jug to drink.

But the wine in the jug was empty, only two or three drops entered the throat.

"Puff~"

Throwing the jug far away into the river, watching the fleeting water waves, Wei Changtian finally slowly spoke a line of poetry that he thought was the most romantic.

He originally wanted to recite this poem for Xu Qingwan to listen to, but
Let's take it as an unforgettable ending for Ning Yuke's "unforgettable night".

Small boats, big dreams, and stars.
Sky and water are indistinguishable, and they merge into one in this vast night. I don’t know if the drunk passengers on the boat will forget that the stars in the water are just reflections, and think they are wandering in the Milky Way.

"Drunk and don't know the sky is in the water"

"A boat full of clear dreams pressing down on the galaxy"

"."

"pat~"

Bean-sized teardrops lightly fell on the window sill, and immediately scattered and disappeared.

"When you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the stars are overwhelmed."

Ning Yuke murmured and repeated it over and over again, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Young Master Wei."

"Princess."

Suddenly, the two called each other at the same time, both of them were stunned for a moment, and then they finished speaking again at the same time.

From a certain point of view, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke do have an inexplicable understanding.

It's just that the meaning of the second half of their sentence is completely different.

"Would you like to stay a little longer?"

"We should go."

Half an hour later, a carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Prince Shun's Mansion.

Wei Changtian handed Ning Yuke, who had fallen asleep, to the stunned doorman, then got into the car and left.

In less than a stick of incense, Ning Yuke was already lying on her bed, and beside her sat Ning Yuzhu who was mixed in joy and sorrow.

It is "happy" that the eldest sister did not spend the night outside, and it is "worry" that the eldest sister is drunk.

"How is my sister?"

Seeing the doctor move his finger away from Ning Yuke's wrist, Ning Yuzhu hurriedly asked, "Is it okay?"

Because Ning Yuke's "painless physique" would cause her to be ill without knowing it, there is a resident doctor in Shun Palace, who will give Ning Yuke a "physical examination" every two or three days.

"From the pulse condition, there is no serious problem."

The doctor with long beard nodded lightly: "The only thing is that the heart beats a little fast. I'll make some hangover soup. I'll just take it after the princess wakes up."

"understood."

Ning Yuzhu responded and watched the doctor leave, then turned her gaze back to Ning Yuke.

At this moment, a few servant girls were helping the latter change his clothes, and just as he took off his outer skirt, a small wooden box suddenly slipped to the ground.

"what?"

A maid picked up the wooden box and looked up at Ning Yuzhu: "Princess, this."

"give it to me."

Ning Yuzhu reached out to take the wooden box, opened it and took a look.

Inside was a small comb with a silver handle.

The workmanship is not bad, although it is not as high-grade as the items in the Wangfu, it is considered top-quality.

But there is something strange about this comb.

Because it is missing a tooth.

At the same time, the Wei residence.

As soon as Wei Changtian entered the hospital, he saw Liang Qin who was looking around nervously.

"Brother Changtian, didn't Princess Rou'an come back with you?"

"He's not homeless, why come back with me."

Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I sent her back after we saw the lantern."

"Oh"

Liang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again.

"Brother Changtian, why do you smell so much of alcohol? Have you been drinking?"

"Well, the princess wanted to drink, so I drank a few cups with her."

"Just, just drinking? Did you not do anything else?"

"Qin'er."

Wei Changtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I've noticed that you've become more and more like a person recently."

Liang Qin had just heard these words during dinner, so he immediately knew who Wei Changtian was referring to.

"Brother Changtian is talking about my sister-in-law!"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Hmph! Yuan'er laughed at me! Brother Changtian, you laughed at me too!"

Liang Qin stomped his feet and quickly ran away: "I'm off to practice swords!"

"."

Seeing Liang Qin's back disappear into the backyard, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead and finally returned to his room.

Yuan'er has already prepared the bath water, and is holding the small wooden stool to change her clothes.

The water vapor in the room is dense and hazy.

Outside the house, the night is as usual, and the stars are shining.

"Sir, what is this?"

Shaking her loose robe, Yuan'er picked up a finger-long stick from the ground with some doubts.

Wei Changtian turned his head and took a look, with the same puzzled expression.

"I don't know, maybe it's a branch stuck to the clothes or something."

"It doesn't feel like a tree branch."

"Love whatever you want, just lose it."

"Oh."
