[R18] The stars are brilliant, so lucky even (The stars are brilliant, the moon rises over the sea) – Chapter 151 of “The Stars Are Brilliant, How Lucky They Are (The Stars Are Brilliant·The Moon Rising Over the Sea)” [English]
byChapter 151
Hearing this voice, two of the four people wanted to turn around and change their ways. The prince also did not want to entangle his brother with his ex-fiancée, but he (considered himself) was a real warrior who dared to face the bleak life and play matchmaking; so he was filled with anger and strode towards the palace gate.Yuan Shen followed with a wry smile, then Huo Buyi, who was trembling slightly, and finally Luo Jitong, who looked ugly.
There is a vast open space outside the palace gate at the upper west gate. When a large-scale celebration banquet is held in the palace, the families of noble courtiers can park their carriages. The prince wanted to reprimand the palace gate guards for their negligence, but unexpectedly when he rushed out of the palace gate, he realized that the guards were still guarding the door. They all stretched their necks and smiled to watch the show – and heAlso looking at the show were the drunken and giggling fourth prince, as well as the fourth princess and the second prince who were supporting him.
A carriage with an indigo blue roof was parked not far ahead. On the carriage stood a beautiful girl in neat casual clothes. Under the carriage was a handsome young man, holding a horse in each hand. Six or seven feet in front of the carriage, there were a dozen well-trained generals working together to catch a large strong hemp rope net. Inside the net pocket was a burly bearded man.
Shao Shang’s face glowed red and he was proud of himself: “…You really think you can be as famous as the heroes in “The Assassin’s Biography”. Let me tell you, you can escape repeatedly because Yuan Zhoumu allowed you! You looked at me twice at the Yuan family that day, and I knew this day would happen!”
The second prince frowned and said, “Since this person has repeatedly caused trouble, it’s just in case. It’s better to hand him over to the court captain or kill him…”
“Farewell, Your Highness,” Shao Shang said hurriedly, “This man is actually not a bad person. I have asked him before. In recent years, he could have assassinated Yuan Zhoumu in a crowded and crowded market place, but he was afraid of disturbing and injuring the people, so he often went to mountain roads to do it. This time too, he could have set up an ambush wherever I passed along the way, but he chose the gate of the palace where there were not many people around… The Fifth Adult was also a famous hero who did good deeds when he was young.Now this is the axis.”
After hearing this, Fifucheng stopped struggling and said loudly: “Okay! Based on your words, Mrs. Cheng, I will no longer cause trouble for you in the future…”
“Bah! There’s still a future. You think I’m Yuan Zhoumu. How many times have you been caught and released? Now that you’re in my hands, do you think you have a future?” Shao Shang put his hands on his hips and his momentum was like a rainbow.
“Then what are you going to do?” Wu Cheng’s face turned red angrily.
“I’ll take you back and let Xiao Zhi use reason to move you and show affection.” Shao Shang said, “In order to prevent you from making more mistakes, in order to rectify justice in the world and promote the righteousness of the world…”
The fifth percentile was furious: “You fart!”
Shao Shang scolded him back: “I think you used to look like a human being, but now you are becoming less and less decent. If no one stops you, you are not far away from turning into a demon! The Yuan family has a grudge with you. Why are you here to arrest me? My surname is Yuan, my surname is Yuan. Even if my surname is Yuan in the future, I haven’t been reincarnated when your sister had an accident. Do you have to involve me!”
——The prince couldn’t help but look at Yuan Shen and found that his expression was really wonderful.
The second prince smiled and said, “Come on, stop being so quick-tongued and take the person away quickly. This is the entrance to the palace after all. If the trouble gets bigger, you won’t be able to protect this person.”
Shao Shang smiled and clasped his fists: “Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me!”
The fifth percentile was still angrily cursing at himself, and one of the generals laughed and said, “Young lady, do you want to shut your mouth?”
Shao Shang said: “Why are you gagging? I am a great hero. It would be shameful to gag me. I’d better knock her out!”
The generals followed the instructions with smiles, and the guards at the palace gate laughed out loud.Shao Shang often came in and out of the palace, and everyone was familiar with him. Some people even shouted, “Ms. Cheng is mighty,” and “Ms. Cheng is a hero among women.” The second prince and the fourth princess couldn’t help but laugh.
——The prince looked at Huo Buyi again and found that his eyes, as dark as amber, showed a strange look of joy, greedy and restrained, and deeply penetrating.
Cheng Shaogong led two horses, one yellow and one flower, over, and said helplessly to his younger sister: “Have you had enough trouble? Have you had enough fun? Can we go home? It’s better to ride a horse or take a car.”
Shao Shang jumped down from the carriage and said with high spirits: “What kind of carriage can a heroic girl like me ride in? Third brother, bring me A Niu.” A Niu is her beloved cow-spotted horse.
At this moment, the drunken fourth prince pointed at the palace door and shouted: “Brother Third Emperor, you are here…”
Everyone turned around and saw the prince and his entourage, all saluting according to their rank.
Shao Shang’s heart was pounding, and when he stood up tremblingly, he finally saw the tall and tall figure beside the prince. She felt inexplicably flustered – didn’t he arrive only the day after tomorrow? He had already planned to take leave to avoid it.
“What are you doing?” the prince shouted loudly.
“I, I, concubine…” Shao Shang was at a loss. She intuitively felt that if she told everything, the prince would definitely not let go of the fifth percentile. But if he didn’t, how could he explain this scene.
Yuan Shen also thought of this, but he didn’t mind Fifty percent’s life or death, so he stepped forward and planned to tell the whole story about the Yuan family’s old grudges. Unexpectedly, the second prince spoke first.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince.” The second prince spoke to help, remembering the young Shang’s many years of paying homage to his deceased wife, “Ms. Cheng is planning to go home.”
The prince saw the pleading in the eyes of the second prince, and thought that the more trouble he made, the more trouble he would have, so he had no intention of pursuing the unknown person with the fifth surname; when Yuan Shen saw this, he also stepped back.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Cheng Shaogong kept saying: “Yes, yes, yes, we are going home, Shao Shang, why don’t you get on your horse quickly.”
Shao Shang also echoed: “Yes, yes, we will go back right away… Third brother, where is the horse?”
She felt that the man next to the prince was staring at her with burning eyes, so she hurriedly took the reins handed over by her brother who was also in a panic, and climbed onto the horse with both hands and feet.Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat on the saddle, she secretly yelled “not good”, and there was a soft brown mane under the saddle – she was riding the wrong horse!
At this time, Cheng Shaogong also realized that he had handed over his horse’s rein by mistake, and the brother and sister looked at each other.
It is said that the twins have a good understanding of each other, but it is no surprise that the Cheng family disagreed again. Cheng Shaogong thought it would be better to change things, but Shao Shang wanted to get out of here, but he was not willing to dismount.
Cheng Shaogong finally understood the look in his sister’s eyes as she wiped her neck. Thinking of the ex-sister-in-law behind him, he expressed his agreement with his eyelids and started to pull the reins of the little flower horse.
“Wait a minute -!” Suddenly a clear male voice sounded, adding more firewood to this already boiling pot of water.
Everyone with their own thoughts looked at the person who spoke, and they all showed expressions full of profound meanings, which can be summarized into three types: “There is a good show to watch”, “Is it necessary to renew the old love”, “The eyes of the prince and Mr. Yuan are about to bulge”…!
Huo Buyi took a determined step forward: “Cheng… Shaoshang,… please stay.”
There was a sudden shock in the arena, and everyone was shocked. The prince and Yuan Shen’s hair stood on end, and Luo Jitong lost his voice and whispered “General Huo”.
Huo Buyi ignored everyone’s thoughts and continued to walk forward. Every step was like a mountain shaking. Everyone gradually showed worried looks after watching the show, but he still walked unwaveringly towards the girl with dazzling bright eyes and white teeth.
Only twenty steps away, everyone was in a daze. Huo Buyi was already standing in front of Shao Shang’s horse.
Shao Shang was completely frozen in the saddle. For some reason, she felt her center of gravity was unsteady and her whole body was swaying. When she saw someone in front of her, before she could speak, Huo Buyi stretched out his right palm to support the girl’s slender waist and pushed her upwards gently.
Only then did Shaoshang realize what the problem was. Although Cheng Shaogong looked weak, he was a man after all, and his legs were longer than his sister’s. So she sat on his saddle, her feet too empty to step on the stirrups.
Seeing Huo Buyi’s move, everyone in the venue let out a soft cry. Yuan Shen’s face was covered with ice and his body was as straight as an icicle; Luo Jitong was covered in cold sweat and hesitated whether he should walk over.
The prince took a few steps forward rudely, then stopped. He didn’t know what to say, so he could only forcefully speak in a gentle tone – “Zisheng, do you remember what you just said?”
Luo Jitong also looked at he expectantly.
Huo Bujiu didn’t answer, and the fourth prince on the side asked stupidly: “Brother Third Emperor, what did Zi Sheng just say? Oh, I understand. When we leave, my father will have his own words with you again…”
“Shut up!” The prince waved his sleeve vigorously.
Huo Buyi looked at the soft waist under his palms, and he could still grasp most of it with his fingers.
He looked up and saw that the noble woman in the palace had stopped in time. She had not seen her for five years. She still had skin as smooth as gel, green eyebrows and red lips, and her youth was delicate. She looked like a carefree little girl who had just slipped out with soft wings from the warm nest, just to see the scenery outside.
He still remembers that cold and miserable night of killing, with the wild wind howling, and her crying and beating herself without any structure, as if pouring out her life’s grievances and resentments… Five years have passed since that farewell, and the stars are shining.
“I’ll adjust the stirrups for you.” he said softly – it was bright at this time, but he seemed to be in a dream.
Shaoshang also felt that this situation was like a dream.When she is awake, she never recalls the past, only in her dreams, occasionally one or two fragments of the past are scattered like a fleeting glimpse.
She remembered that he was wearing a dark gold scarlet robe that was as red as blood, and he was unparalleled in splendor. But now he was only wearing a half-worn black robe, without weaving or embroidery, with a weathered face, and a slight glimmer of silver on his temples. He was so cold and handsome that it made people feel heartbroken.
At this time, there were at least fifty or sixty people gathered around, and everything was quiet at this time. From the shocked to the prince with eyes wide open, to Yuan Shen, who was shaking with anger but didn’t know whether to scold or fight, and others, they watched the situation unfold in confusion.
Shaoshang felt short of breath and had tightness in his chest for a while, and then he calmed down and said, “Huo… Master Huo, please don’t be like this…”
Huo Buyi had fastened one of the stirrups again, and was holding the girl’s ankle just in time to put the stirrup in. After hearing this, he raised his head, slowly tightened his palms, and squeezed the thin and delicate foot bones.
“Am I not even qualified to adjust your stirrups now?” He looked at her deeply.
Cheng Shaogong on the side opened his mouth wide and shouted crazily in his heart – that’s not what he said!Whose ex-fiancé would touch his waist, pinch his feet and buckle his stirrups whenever they disagree with each other?
Shao Shang caught a glimpse of the back of his hand. The pale skin was covered with several mottled and hideous scars. She trembled: “What’s wrong with your hand…”
Huo Buyu lowered his thick eyelashes and said softly: “The frostbite later rotted away, but now it has scars and is healed.”
Shaoshang glared at the scar and bit his lip.
Huo Buyu looked at her blankly: “Don’t you ask me if it hurts?”
Shaoshang bit his mouth almost to the point of bleeding. He shook his head stubbornly and finally said, “Master Huo, I’m going home. Please stand aside.”
Huo Buyi took her reins and said, “The other stirrup is still not in good condition.”
Shao Shang pulled back the reins forcefully and smiled coldly: “I am no longer the same person as before, and now that there are no stirrups, I won’t be afraid anymore!” After saying this, she raised her whip high and gave a skillful false wave, and the yellow-maned horse immediately galloped away.
The girl’s movements were free and sassy, but in Cheng Shaogong’s eyes, it seemed like she was running away.Huo Buyi unconsciously took a step forward, and suddenly a hand behind him put his shoulder. He looked back and saw that it was Yuan Shen.
Yuan Shen said coldly: “Thank you, General Huo, for taking care of my wife. That’s all for now.”
He didn’t wait for the other party’s reply, he walked straight into the Cheng family’s carriage, leaned against the door and said, “Young palace, I just have nothing to do today, so I’ll go home with you.” Then he closed the car door heavily in front of Huo Buyu.
Cheng Shaogong smiled awkwardly at Huo Buyi, climbed onto the little flower horse in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and ran away with the Cheng family generals who were also silent and disgraced, plus the fifty percent who were knocked unconscious.
Huo Buyi looked at the Cheng family’s carriage and horses going away for a while, turned around without saying a word, briefly said goodbye to the prince, waved back the black iron carriage that caught up, grabbed the reins from the guards, mounted his horse and rode in the other direction.
Seeing that Huo Buyi didn’t even think of him before leaving, Luo Jitong had no choice but to endure the embarrassment and say goodbye to the prince and go home on his own.
Seeing that the play had ended, all the palace guards went back to their respective places, fearing that the cold-faced prince would take advantage of their expenses.
The second prince saw that the prince was still standing motionless. His expression was not so much solemn and severe, but more… dull?
“Third brother, third brother?” The second prince pushed the prince, “What’s wrong with you?”
The Fourth Prince, who was more than half awake from the wine, also came over: “Brother, Brother Three, what’s wrong with you…”
The prince suddenly woke up, then turned around quickly and ran hard, followed by a long list of eunuchs and maids who had just reacted.
“Brother Third Emperor, where are you going!” the Fourth Prince shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Go find my father alone!” The prince turned around and shouted – dear father, why is this different from what was promised!
