The two walked all the way with the crowded crowd, and Yun Shang laughed: "It can be seen that the Ministry of Rites really put a lot of thought into this time, at least I have never seen a lantern festival that will be held in There are also all kinds of small lanterns hanging on the tree."
"Not only that, even the corners of the roofs of the houses passing by along the way are hung with delicate lanterns."
Yun Shang smiled and turned her head to look at Luo Qingyan, lowering her voice: "Your Majesty can give some rewards to the Ministry of Rites."
"Yeah." Luo nodded softly, "The Empress said it would be a reward, so I will reward it."
After Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he saw several delicate lantern boats moored by the lake not far away, so he turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go to the lake on a lantern boat?"
Yun Shang shook her head, as she and Luo Qingyan, it's better to be careful.
It was night now, the street was crowded with people, and it was illuminated by the lanterns as bright as day, but the lake was still pitch black.
If there is an assassin, the lake is the best place to hide. In this dark night, it is difficult for the dark guards to even search. And if the lantern boat is too far from the shore, it will almost become an isolated island in the lake, and there is no way to escape.
"It's okay to take a lantern boat tour on the lake, but you can go to the lake and let the river lanterns go."
"Okay." Luo Qingyan naturally agreed, and asked with a smile: "What kind of river lantern do you want to buy?"
Yun Chang raised her eyes and looked around at the hawkers who were buying river lanterns around the bank. Her eyes fell on the stall with the most crowds, and her eyes moved slightly.
Even from a distance, Yunshang could see that the lanterns hung on the stall were very delicate and beautiful, more eye-catching than those on other stalls next to it.
Yun Chang saw a huge river lantern being hung up. The river lantern was different from other lights, it was bigger, and there was a lotus leaf under it. There were five or six layers of petals. The petals didn't look like they were made of paper. It's like a thin and light-transmitting fabric, against the light, it's so beautiful.
From a distance, Yun Chang heard someone shouting: "This lamp is not for sale. He is today's lamp king. If you can answer all the lantern riddles correctly, this lamp will be given away for free."
Yun Chang lowered her eyes and smiled, as if every lantern festival had such an appearance.
Luo Qingyan followed Yunshang's gaze, raised his eyebrows and said, "Which one do you like?"
Yun Chang shook her head, turned her eyes and chose a booth that was not crowded: "Just buy one at random over there, the river lantern is just for auspiciousness, to win prizes, it doesn't matter if it looks good or not. "
"Okay." Luo Qingyan naturally knew what she was worried about, but he didn't point it out. He just responded and went to the booth pointed by Yunshang.
As soon as he lifted his feet, he heard the voice of the stall owner coming from the booth full of people: "This Lantern King is not only beautiful to look at, but more importantly, it is made of very special materials, and the bottom is The lotus leaf can also be smeared with tung oil to ensure that it will never sink."
"Isn't setting off the river lantern just to get a lot of money? If your own river lantern sinks, it's not a good omen. Use this lamp king to ensure that you will get what you want and all your wishes will come true."
When Luo Qingyan heard what the vendor said, he immediately changed his mind: "I think that Lantern King is very good."
Yun Chang frowned, and wanted to persuade her, but Luo Qingyan had already opened her mouth one step ahead of her: "The peddler is very reasonable, isn't it just to make a wish? If the river lamp sinks, isn't it? What a good omen. If you want to release it, you must release something that will not sink, so that the wish you made will come true.”
Yun Shang laughed: "Since when do you still believe this?"
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan with light in his eyes: "I never believed that any wish would come true. I believe it is you. With you, I have everything I want, all my wishes, You'll do it for me too, won't you?"
Luo Qingyan paused, lowered his head, but smiled, with a smile full of indulgence: "Yes, you are right. With me here, I will fulfill all your wishes for you."
"When I saw your gaze just now, I knew that you actually liked that river lantern. Since you like it, I will naturally get it for you."
After Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Yunshang's forehead: "You wait, I'll help you win that lamp back."
After finishing speaking, he reminded him carefully: "I'll be back in a while, you take the hidden guard and find a place where there are not many people and stand for a while."
Luo Qingyan's temperament has always been to do well-decided things no matter what.
Yun Chang knew that she might not be able to persuade him to change his mind, so she could only nod helplessly: "Okay, okay."
Then, he pointed to a willow tree not far away: "I'll wait for you under that tree, come back soon."
Luo Qingyan nodded, waved towards Yunshang, and walked quickly towards the lantern booth.
Yun Chang saw Luo Qingyan walking to the booth, and people outside kept surrounding him, and after a while, Luo Qingyan was no longer seen.
Yun Shang walked to the willow tree she mentioned and stood still. Although Luo Qingyan was no longer visible, she still stared at the lantern booth persistently.
A lot of people gathered in front of the lantern booth, it was very lively, and there were cheers from time to time.
The vendor's voice was also very loud, but Yun Shang could hear it very clearly: "This young man is amazing, he is so good-looking and talented, he has guessed six lantern riddles correctly in a row, and he is also the fastest , but now there are still four young masters who can compete with him, let's see who can persevere to the end in the next few lantern riddles."
"Whoever can guess all the twelve lantern riddles correctly will own this lantern."
Although the vendor didn't name her by name, she always felt that the person the vendor was talking about was Luo Qingyan.
After all, Luo Qingyan has always been such a powerful person.
Wen can recite poems and fight against each other, martial arts can form troops, and they can also govern the country and the world.
Why be afraid of a few lantern riddles in this area
Thinking of this, Yun Shang couldn't help lowering her head and laughing complacently.
Luo Qingyan often feels that he is older than her, and is afraid that she will dislike her.
But he never knew that after having him, among the thousands of men in this world, no one can fall into his eyes.
"It's already the tenth question! Now this young master is the only one left to answer the tenth question correctly, and there are the last two questions. Will he be able to win the championship today and take away this lamp king?"
The vendor's voice became more and more passionate, and the corners of Yunshang's mouth became more and more raised.
Just waiting for the vendor to read the question, he suddenly heard a scream, and immediately, the people around the stall scattered in all directions.
Yun Chang's expression froze, and she wanted to go to Luo Qingyan, but was forced by the sudden surge of people to take two steps back.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty has been assassinated!"
