The fire on New Year's Eve, the lanterns on Lantern Festival, and the night in the capital.
Looking around, the eight streets and four markets are brightly lit like daylight.
Overwhelming lanterns hang in every corner. Those lanterns are like colorful brocades woven by fairies, and the styles are also different. The lamp reflected the moon, doubling its brightness. The moon shines on the lamp, adding a lot of brilliance.
Thousands of houses are lit with lights and towers, and the world is filled with clouds and mist for tens of miles.
It's so prosperous that it's breathtaking.
The whole city is noisy with flutes and drums, and countless people are crowded. Those who danced, stilted, and pretended to be ghosts were originally bustling among the crowd.
With the arrival of Xia Chu and his party, the crowded crowd automatically made way for them.
In fact, this group of people is so dazzling that people can't help but put down the lamp in their hands. They all stopped to show their courtesy and take a look at those fairy-like faces.
On both sides of the red-zhuang upstairs, some beauties had already recognized the handsome young master of the Xu family. Leaning on the railing, separated by the curtain, shoulder to shoulder, with outstretched hands, she called him Mr. Xu in a charming voice.
Xiao Mubai frowned, looked at Xu Wenlan and said jokingly: "Xu Wenlan, Master Xu, have you ever seen your grand scene of red-sleeved moves all over the house?"
Xu Wenlan was busy saluting the girls and said, "Of course I've never seen that before."
"Xu Wenlan is not as good-looking as my brother, and certainly not as good-looking as Brother Chu." Xiao Muhong curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"That won't stop him from being romantic. Don't try to imitate him." Xiao Mubai looked at Xiao Muhong and said warmly.
Xu Wenlan did not dare to refute, and simply continued to flirt with the girls, causing the beauties to cover their mouths and smile sweetly, while exclaiming in surprise.
"I don't want to imitate him, I only like Brother Chu." Xiao Muhong looked at Xia Chu and smiled brightly.
Xiao Mubai's eyes followed Xiao Muhong to Xia Chu.
"Hmm." Xia Chu smiled slightly and asked, "Don't the Ninth Princess like His Highness King Mo?"
"Of course I like it."
"Do you like me as much as you like your brother?"
"It should be different." Ninth Princess frowned.
"What's the difference?"
"Brother will always be a brother. You will be my husband in the future. Of course this is different." Ninth Princess figured it out and said firmly.
"No, my love for the Ninth Princess is the same as His Royal Highness King Mo's love for the Ninth Princess. Therefore, the Ninth Princess must like me as much as he likes his brother."
"But I have a brother but no husband..." Ninth Princess said dissatisfied.
"The Ninth Princess will be born in the future, and you will become his beloved woman."
"Am I not the woman you love?"
"You are my beloved sister."
"You don't want to be my husband?"
"I am willing to be your brother forever like King Mo."
"Always love me like a brother?"
"Yeah." Xia Chujian made sense and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I still want you to be my husband." Ninth Princess thought about it but still refused.
Xiao Zimu laughed out loud, and Xiao Mubai's eyebrows also showed a hint of mischief.
Xia Chu held his head against the headache, sighed, and said in a feint of anger: "If the Ninth Princess disobeys you, I will no longer love you."
The Ninth Princess was frightened by Xia Chu, her face wrinkled, and she walked for a long time before raising her head.
"Then, then... let's be a brother first."
Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily.
Xiao Zimu gave him an approving smile from the side.
As the group was walking, Xiao Yanjun and Xiao Xuqing in front stopped.
"But Mr. Bingwen, who is widely rumored in the capital?" Xiao Yanjun asked the person he met.
"That's ridiculous, it's Bingwen."
"Master Bingwen is also here to enjoy the lanterns?" Xiao Yanjun suddenly wanted to win over him when he saw his elegant aura.
"Arty." Bingwen replied calmly, passed Xiao Yanjun, and walked to Su Qian'an. He asked in a pretentious manner: "I wonder if the young Marquis is here?"
Su Qian'an blinked and pointed at Xia Chu.
Bingwen walked up to Xia Chu and bowed.
"I was harassed by others the day before yesterday, thanks to the protection of the young Marquis' attendants. Bingwen would like to thank you here."
Xia Chu secretly laughed at his playful manner, and responded cooperatively: "You're welcome, it's better to meet by chance than to invite us, shall we?"
Bingwen happily agreed: "It's disrespectful."
Xia Chu saw that Bingwen didn't know where to stand, so he coaxed Xiao Muhong to let go and follow Xiao Mubai and Xu Wenlan ahead. He was one step behind, walking with Xiao Zimu and Bingwen.
Xiao Zimu saw that Xiao Muhong had left and Mr. Bingwen had arrived. Xia Chu couldn't help but echoed: "Why is it so difficult to talk to you alone?"
Xia Chu smiled when he heard this, turned around and whispered to him: "It doesn't matter, Zi Mu can take me home alone later."
Xiao Zimu nodded, showing satisfaction.
Xiao Muhong was led by Xiao Yanjun, looking back at him from time to time. Seeing Xia Chu and Xiao Zimu whispering intimately, he was a little unhappy, so he said coquettishly to Xia Chu: "Brother Chu, I want a lamp."
After hearing this, Xia Chu looked around and walked towards a shop with many styles.
In fact, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. Very few people actually buy lamps. Men mostly get them by guessing charades, which makes everyone smile. Not only has it become elegant, but it has also won the hearts of beautiful women.
