Because Lu Lingzhi's good news made Ye Zhen depressed for several days, she didn't even go out to visit the flower market with Sun Wen on the first day of the new year. Everyone thought she was just scared a while ago, so she didn't dare to go out and stayed at home.
Sun Wen and Chen Jinru came to Lu's house together and got together with Ye Zhen for a long time, trying to persuade her to go out for the Lantern Festival, but Ye Zhen remembered that she had promised Mo Rongyi, but she did not agree to Sun Wen.
In a blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival, which is also called the Lantern Festival in Kyoto. The ministers of the six streets and three cities in Kyoto, the common people, decorate every household, spread felts at every household, and tidy up the lanterns. Almost all the people in Kyoto hang lanterns in front of their doors. .
There is also a lantern building on the main street, which is prepared for people to fight lanterns at night.
Ye Zhen still thought that if Murongyi didn't come to look for her, she would go out with Lu Xiangzhi tonight to watch the lantern fight.
"Brother, do you still have your old clothes, lend me a set." Ye Zhen went to find Lu Xiangzhi, "Take me to see the lanterns tonight."
Lu Xiangzhi frowned and looked at Ye Zhen, "Yaoyao, let's not go, I'll buy the lantern for you."
"Why don't you go? The ones you bought don't look good on the outside." Ye Zhen pouted, "Do you think I'm a burden and don't take me out? I'll go and tell Dad."
"Yaoyao, I'm worried that you will be in danger if you go out." Lu Xiangzhi said, "There are too many people outside tonight."
Ye Zhen said, "Why am I in danger if there are too many people?"
It's not easy for Lu Xiangzhi to explain to his sister that she is so good-looking, and at this time of year she is a villain at most, even if she doesn't provoke danger, danger will provoke her.
"Does the old lady let you go out?" Lu Xiangzhi had no choice but to move the old lady out.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Why don't you let me go out, she let me have fun, hey, brother, you should still have the clothes you used to wear when you were thirteen or fourteen, give me a set."
Lu Xiangzhi had no choice but to ask the maid to go to his room to look for the clothes from that time, "Yaoyao, what do you want my clothes for?"
"You will know at night." Ye Zhen smiled.
Lu Xiangzhi's maid came back not long after, and said to Ye Zhen with a smile, "Madam made a lot of clothes for the fourth young master before, here are two sets that I have never worn, now the fourth young master can't wear them anymore, slaves and maids together Bring it to the girl to have a look."
Ye Zhen pinched the girl's cheek, "Zhi Tao, you are getting smarter and smarter, I will accept these two sets of clothes, brother, remember to wait for me at night."
Lu Xiangzhi shouted at Ye Zhen's back, "Are you really going out? Yaoyao, Yaoyao..."
Ye Zhen ran away without looking back, she went back and asked Daimei to comb her a man's hairstyle, put on Lu Xiangzhi's clothes, she looked like a handsome young man.
"How, do you look like a man?" Ye Zhen was wearing a stone blue brocade robe with Baoxiang flowers, which made her skin fairer and more rosy, with red lips and white teeth, like jade carvings, she looked like a beauty and a beautiful boy.
Dai Mei looked a little dumbfounded.
"Girl, you... are you really going out dressed like this tonight?" Daimei opened her mouth wide, and she felt that she would be amazed by the third girl every time.
Ye Zhen smiled, "That's right, I'll go out like this tonight."
"In this way, like a man..." Although it is still very good-looking, it always feels a little awkward.
"That's right." Sometimes men do things much more conveniently than women.
When night fell, Ye Zhen pulled Lu Xiangzhi out, and as soon as they left the gate of Lu's house, they saw a blue-glazed two-axle carriage approaching, the curtain of the carriage moved, and Murong Yi's immature face appeared in their sight .
"Little prince?" Lu Xiangzhi looked at him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Murongyi jumped out just as the carriage stopped, "I'm here to enjoy the lanterns tonight, Yaoyao, I allow you to watch the lanterns with me."
Ye Zhen nodded amusedly, "Then thank you little prince for your love."
"It's because you cured my illness." Murong Yi said with a haughty look, and then looked at Ye Zhen again, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"It's convenient like this. Alright, let's go." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Don't go to see the lanterns. There will be too many people in a while, and we won't be able to squeeze in."
Lu Xiangzhi felt a little headache. He originally thought that there was only his sister alone, but now with the young prince, why did he feel that it would be dangerous to go to the lantern tonight.
"Sister, why don't you go with the second and fourth sisters?" Lu Xiangzhi asked Ye Zhen in a low voice, how good it would be for the little girls to play together.
Ye Zhen said lightly, "I don't like it."
Lu Fang'er and the others went with other people, they just sat in the side room of the tavern and watched the excitement, they didn't know how to play around at all, Ye Zhen was also like that before, thinking that a real lady should not join in the fun, now she just wants to have a good time Enjoy life as much as possible, and don't want to be a lady like a wooden man anymore.
The group of them came to the main avenue, the avenue decorated with lights and festoons was as bright as day, with people coming and going, it was very lively, Murongyi was protected by two men dressed as servants, while Lu Xiangzhi blocked the crowd for Ye Zhen, not letting anyone People jostled her.
"That's the lamphouse over there, let's go and have a look." Murong Yi pointed to the temporary lamphouse in front and asked Ye Zhen to accompany him there.
Ye Zhen used to only watch other people fighting lanterns on the top of the restaurant, but she hadn't enjoyed the lanterns below the lantern building, so she nodded immediately, "Let's go and have a look, I also want to know what the Lantern King looks like this year."
A strange look flashed across Murongyi's immature and handsome face, and he soon returned to normal, "Then take a look and see which lamp is the lamp king."
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Okay, my vision is the most accurate."
When they came to the front of the lantern building, many people were already fighting lanterns. Those who won continued to fight lanterns with others, and those who lost could only leave with lanterns. A reward of one thousand taels.
One thousand taels is a lot of money for ordinary people, and how many people have tried their best to become the lamp king.
"Hey, those two lanterns on the stage are very beautiful, no one can beat them?" Ye Zhen pointed to the two lanterns hanging on the lantern tower, one is a lifelike peacock lantern, and the other is an octagonal circle. Turn the lamp, and the surface of the lamp is a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix.
Murong Yi asked in a low voice, "Which of those two lanterns... do you think can become the lamp king?"
"It's hard to say, maybe there will be more beautiful lanterns soon." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Hmph, I have no vision." Murongyi despised her in a low voice.
There is a time limit for fighting lanterns, and after another half an hour, there was still no lantern that could knock down the two lanterns hanging on the stage, and finally the two lanterns were fighting to produce a lamp king.
"There's no need to fight anymore, the Lantern King is naturally my master's." Before the decision of the winner began, a silk brocade boy stood up next to him and said loudly.
