Chapter 986: The Dancing Beauty, Keqing's Heart

Paimon could understand: "That's true! If Keqing, the overwork maniac, suddenly said she didn't want to work overtime, your colleagues would probably think it was some conspiracy to make you work more overtime."

Ying chuckled: "I thought Keqing would have to work overtime by herself again."

Keqing was embarrassed. Her colleagues would indeed think so.

She used to help them complete the work that they couldn't finish.

"Habits formed over the years are not easy to change." Jiang Yi pointed out with a smile, "Keqing's sense of responsibility has been integrated into her every word and action. For example, when we were chatting on the jade slip, when Bai Shu mentioned Qingce Manor, you mentioned that you arranged the Qianyan Army. Obviously, you could have chatted more casually."

Paimeng nodded: "Yes! When chatting, we should learn from Ningguang. That day at Xinyan's concert, I saw Ningguang and Beidou playing chess on the boat."

"When you're with friends, you don't have to think so carefully."

Keqing asked, "Does that mean I shouldn't be so pretentious?"

"You are Qixing and you are yourself. Relax as much as you can when it's time to relax." Jiang Yi said, "If there is a group chat, the work group and the life group should be separated. The life group is for everyone to chat and relax together. See what others are doing."

"It's even better with my closest group of friends. You don't have to care about responsibilities at all. You can say whatever you want and do whatever you want." He looked around.

"Today we are here to relax, so let's stop here and enjoy the Lantern Festival games and the delicious and beautiful things around us."

Jiang Yi walked in the middle, and under the surprised gaze of the stall owner, the four of them began to enjoy the Lantern Festival in a relaxed manner.

There was a big merchant who came to Liyue from Inazuma on the winter ship, and he always felt that he had seen a familiar sight before.

At the Inazuma celebration, someone also bought gifts and tasted delicious food with the country's noble girls amid the amazement of stall owners and tourists.

"Your Highness Jiang Yi, you really know how to have fun."

He used the honorific title and looked at the god in white under the light with admiration.

She chanted something and prayed for marriage to this legendary god who might have the power of marriage.

Lanterns filled with wishes flew up into the sky. Since the theme was not the bright sky, there were not as many as last year, but they still covered half of Liyue Harbor.

On the lotus seat in the center, a large lantern with a goldfish's long tail shines on the waves, as if it is about to leap into the sky at any time.

The fools of the Northland Bank all had some free time, so they came out to enjoy the scenery together.

Full of laughter and full of romance.

After strolling back and forth on the busiest street, Jiang Yi, Keqing, Ying and Paimeng were transported to the Qun Yu Pavilion via Yujingtai.

The Qun Yu Pavilion was actually quite lively as the most powerful officials and nobles of Liyue were attending this banquet in the sky together.

Seeing Jiang Yi and Keqing coming up, many people stood up, nodded, and raised their glasses to signal them.

Jiang Yi was originally an outsider, and no matter how powerful he was, he had nothing to do with them. But now Jiang Yi's existence and the items he casually dropped have created huge prospects and wealth in Liyue, and he has also become a part of the wealth and power.

In the eyes of many people, status is like the bright moon in the sky.

Although Ying and Paimon have the reputation of being heroes, to them, they are far inferior to this otherworldly immortal god who will inevitably control the direction of Liyue together with the Seven Stars.

Jiang Yi nodded indifferently to everyone, neither close nor distant, with a slight smile.

"My lord, the things Lady Ningguang prepared for you have been delivered." Ningguang's secretary Bai Shi bowed slightly to Keqing.

Keqing smiled and said, "Wait for me here for a while, don't leave!"

She followed Bai Shi and left.

"It's so mysterious. Is there something important?" Paimon asked puzzledly.

Ying looked around: "I didn't expect there would be so many people."

Come to think of it, it's natural. The Qun Yu Pavilion is not a real private dating place.

Jiang Yi waited very patiently.

“Sorry for the long wait, all three of you.” Under the light, Keqing walked out of the Jade Pavilion before she saw anyone.

Black stockings and black boots, smart and refreshing.

A blue short skirt woven like butterfly peacock feathers was slightly rippled by the wind.

The black off-shoulder top is noble and luxurious, with a long, ink-like gauze ribbon tied on the shoulders, giving it a mysterious feel.

Keqing's skin is dazzlingly white, her eyes are bright, her long purple hair still looks like cat ears but they are slightly drooping, a pair of night-like bows are tied on both sides, and her twin ponytails hang down, fluttering in the wind.

"Wow--"

Ying and Paimon opened their eyes wide and exclaimed in amazement.

"Ningguang's personal tailor helped make a new dress for her. It's said to be of an exotic style." Keqing lifted her ponytail and put one hand on her waist. "How is it? Does it look good?"

We select newly blooming colorful flower petals and use ancient secret methods to wind the weft and pull the warp to weave them into silk with fine texture.

The crimson purple dye is extracted from glass bags with bright colors, in order to achieve the rich and light colors like those in ancient paintings.

The unique style of the dress combines the styles of Liyue and foreign lands. It took a hundred days to sew, and every line was carefully drawn, woven into a dress with "fluttering skirts".

"It looks good!" Jiang Yi praised.

"It looks beautiful, very beautiful!" Ying and Paimeng kept nodding their heads. They had never seen Keqing like this before.

Not far away, Ningguang, wearing a dark blue dress, was looking at this corner.

The dress is like a faint orchid in the gauze. The dark blue long skirt outlines the elegant curves of the beauty, and the butterfly wings on the ankles make her look even more light.

Tall and beautiful, with an unconcealable radiance.

"Since taking the position of 'Yuheng', Keqing has never enjoyed the convenience of this position. Instead, she has invested countless extra personal time in it." She said softly to the secretary beside her.

"In order to improve work efficiency, the skirts I wear on weekdays are more practical and practical, and only maintain basic beauty and elegance."

"It is a very beautiful time, but I am completely incompatible with beauty."

“I am amazed by its current appearance.”

Her secretary was actually already envious, looking at Keqing and her master from time to time.

However, thinking that the dress might be the most precious and beautiful piece of clothing that Yuhengxing had worn since she took office, she couldn't help but want to prepare another one for her in the future.

Countless applause broke out in the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Keqing looked at those dignitaries and smiled slightly.

“During previous festivals, you always appeared in your normal attire, and the people have long been familiar with your image.” Ningguang’s words are still ringing in her ears.

"The situation in Liyue is different now. If we can present ourselves before the public with a brand new look, it will surely add to the joy of the people and give them great encouragement."

However, she only turned around and said to Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng: "Go over there..."

Keqing was pointing at the edge of the Qun Yu Pavilion Square, a spot specially reserved for Qixing and Jiang Yi, the distinguished guests, to watch the fireworks without being disturbed.

She looks radiant and smiles sweetly.

“This dress will serve as a boundary, symbolizing that my work and personal lives do not interfere with each other, allowing me to lead the way at a steady pace, gradually approaching a new era for Liyue.”

Her dress designs still follow the principle of "minimal luxury" so as not to forget her original intention.

"Congratulations!" Jiang Yi smiled and walked away.

Just as Paimon was about to step forward, Ying pulled him back, "Slow down."

"What?" Paimon asked puzzled.

Had to lag behind a little.

“Because Liyue’s new era is with them.” Ying said meaningfully.

Paimon was lost in thought.

"I'm in charge of this fireworks display, and I've tried my best to make it the best in my eyes. No matter what, I hope you can enjoy this event." After Keqing finished speaking, she turned around and was surprised to find Paimon taking a step back.

They made faces and looked weird.

Suddenly, she thought of something and her face turned slightly red.

Whatever words Ben had prepared were interrupted.

"It's really a blessing to be able to... to stop like this and watch the fireworks and Liyue Harbor." Keqing said, her ears slightly red as she paused in annoyance, her mind slightly confused, "I'm very happy to be here with you."

What are they doing? Jiang Yi turned around.

Why are you hiding? Are Keqing and I really the only ones standing here?

Jiang Yi really wanted to complain.

You really think this is a dating place.

Keqing looked at the brightly lit Liyue Harbor and the sea of ​​​​glazed flowers behind the silhouette of Mount Heng that day.

It’s a really good atmosphere.

"You...are about to set off again!" She suddenly said something that brought Jiang Yi back to his senses.

"Yes!" Jiang Yi nodded in a low voice, "I'm sorry, the burden of many future plans will be on your shoulders. Outside, I will also help share the burden through the jade slips."

Keqing looked at Jiang Yi with lively eyes: "Even though you gave me such serious instructions, Master Jiang Yi is talking about work during this break."

"Well, he doesn't look like the romantic saint praised by the people of Liyue."

Jiang Yi couldn't hold back: "First, I apologize for what I said just now, and then... are you serious about the following sentence? It's really a bit unexpected."

He felt that Keqing was teasing him.

"No! I just have a feeling that there are some things that must be said today." Keqing said.

These sudden ambiguous words made Jiang Yi motionless.

What’s going on? Is Keqing going to confess to me?

"..." Heulia heard Jiang Yi's question in her sea of ​​consciousness and couldn't help but said, "Be serious."

Keqing looked very good today, and her voice was very pleasant: "I haven't been with you for a long time, and our communication was mainly about work. We imagined the future together."

"But I feel more and more that you are the person I dream of."

Although it's some golden shrimp balls with some seasonings added to them, but...it's okay.

Jiang Yi touched his face.

Are these the three greatest illusions in life?

I'm a playboy!

A little guilty.

"Keqing..." He wanted to ask Keqing if she had a fever or was drunk.

“Eh? Why are you so surprised?” Keqing looked at Jiang Yi’s expression, “You look like you don’t believe it.”

“In order to build our ideal Liyue, you are indeed indispensable, aren’t you?” she said as a matter of course.

"...So that's it..." Jiang Yi looked much relieved, but his heart was pounding.

No matter how many people I meet, the touch of the soul is still so beautiful.

Keqing's heart was far from as calm as the expression on her face.

"I want to leave a mark of humanity on the Emperor's land."

“This was my original ideal.”

Keqing looked into the distance and stood side by side with Jiang Yi.

"But you took me to the sea of ​​stars."

She smiled and looked back.

"The construction of Guiliyuan and Dihuazhou has already begun. When the new era of Liyue Harbor is completed, I will lead the way. I will let you witness with your own eyes how this place has been transformed because of you and the efforts of ordinary people."

"You showed me a video of your hometown before, and I thought about using mechanical engineering to imitate some of your hometown's infrastructure tools. After a year, I have almost imitated several of them and can participate in the construction of the new city."

Jiang Yi closed his eyes slightly and opened them: "I'm looking forward to it!"

“So…” Keqing stretched out her hand, her fingers slightly bent, “This is a new promise between you and me, one of many future promises. I will not let you down for your support and companionship.”

Her ribbons fluttered, her clothes shone, and her skin was as white as pearls and jade.

Jiang Yi was mesmerized for a moment.

The hands were already extended, and the two people's fingers were interlocked, like crescent moons intersecting.

Pinky promise, the contract is as eternal as the moon.

Although the night obscured the vision, there were still many people who were secretly paying attention to this side and saw this scene.

It seems a bit childish, but when it comes to Yuhengxing and Jiang Yi, it is like a bolt from the blue, a shocking scene.

Keqing is always bold and outspoken in expressing her feelings and thoughts. Her charm at this moment is more beautiful than the stars in the sky.

"I wish to know you, and live a long and happy life."

Jiang Yi smiled with relief and responded.

Whispering softly, the winter thunder is already coming.

Keqing's face turned red.

She unhooked her fingers, a little flustered, and looked at the schedule.

"it's time!"

"Please enjoy..."

“The finale of this year’s Lantern Festival…

"Fireworks party!"

The tone was hurried.

The moon is shining brightly and the stars are like sand.

The Qianyan Army lit the wires in front of each firework tube.

The lapels of her clothes reflected the brilliant flames of the festival, like a starry sky with rainbows just beginning to fade; the hem of her skirt fluttered with Keqing's footsteps, like flying flowers dancing in the wind.

Jiang Yi looked at the fireworks that illuminated the sky and the earth.

The fireworks are like flowers, willow leaves, flaming trees, stars... They rise into the sky and bloom in various shapes and brilliant colors.

Happy Lantern Festival.

Keqing.
