After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 62 The Lantern Festival
The new year passed quickly, and it was the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

As night fell, the entire capital of Kyoto became lively, and Chang'an Avenue, located on the banks of the Weishui River, was even more colorful and crowded with people.Qi Tanying and Ting Lan strolled on the busy street, admiring the lanterns on the street shops while walking.

Lively and lively goldfish lanterns, beautiful and realistic lotus lanterns, cute and interesting rabbit lanterns. All kinds of lanterns are graceful in shape, dazzling and dizzying.

Ting Lan's eyes straightened, "Girl, the Lantern Festival in Kyoto is much more lively than our Wuzhou, and the style of the lanterns is also more beautiful than Wuzhou."

Qi Tanying laughed and said: "After all, Kyoto is at the foot of the emperor, and the bustle and bustle is naturally incomparable to the small town of Wuzhou."

Ting Lan nodded hurriedly.

The master and servant walked towards the junction of Chang'an Avenue and Qingping Street while watching the lantern scene.

Today is the Lantern Festival, Yan Li and Qi Tanying made an appointment to enjoy the lanterns.Yan Li was going to pick her up at Qi's house, but Qi Tanying wanted to experience the artistic conception of "the head of the willow on the moon, and the appointment after dusk".

The two met under the big banyan tree at the junction of Chang'an Avenue and Qingping Street.

When Qi Tanying and Ting Lan arrived, Yan Li was already waiting.

I saw him standing with his hands behind his back, wearing a moon-white cross-collared gown, the collar and cuffs of the robe were embroidered with silver silk and flowing cloud pattern piping, a golden silk spider pattern belt of the same color was tied around his waist, and his jet-black hair was all tied up. rise.

Dressing like this made him a little more elegant than usual.

After seeing Qi Tanying, Yan Li walked over quickly.

Qi Tanying smiled at him, "Wait a long time."

"Soon." Yan Li looked at her and invited her, "Go ahead?"

Qi Tanying nodded.

The two walked side by side, Ting Lan tactfully fell behind a few steps, not to disturb the relationship between the two masters.

"Hey, what do you think is that?" As they walked, a lantern hanging on a booth attracted Qi Tanying's attention, and she pulled Yan Li's sleeve and walked over excitedly.

Yan Li was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he let her pull him.

Qi Tanying tugged at his sleeve, "Look, does that lantern look like the New Year's gift I gave you?"

Yan Li heard the sound and looked, his eyes fell on the lantern she was pointing at.

It was a little piggy lantern. It had a round head, big ears and upturned mouth, black eyes like grapes, and a golden body all over. The slightly curly tail was attached to the round buttocks, and it looked cute and naive.

Seeing the two people stop, the vendor hurriedly asked, "Are the two honored guests going to buy lanterns?"

Qi Tanying pointed to the golden pig lantern and said, "That's the one!"

The vendor's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly took down the golden pig lantern, "Girl has good eyesight, this golden pig is the lantern with the best meaning in my stall. If you buy it, you must be very lucky!"

Everyone loves to hear good words. Qi Tanying took the lantern from the street vendor. Yan Li was about to give the money, but Qi Tanying held down her hand. She turned her head and glanced at Ting Lan. Ting Lan immediately understood her girl the meaning of.

He took out a dime of broken silver from his purse and handed it to the vendor, so he didn't have to look for the extra.

The happy street vendor said a bunch of good words of blessing.

"Well, I'll send it to you."

Qi Tanying changed hands and handed the lantern to Yan Li, "This blessing is for you!"

Holding the golden pig lantern, Yan Li felt warm in his heart, and looked at his fiancée with tenderness in his eyes.

Qi Tanying smiled at him, and suggested: "Let's go ahead and have a look!"

Yan Li nodded: "Listen to you."

The two continued to walk forward, there were many people on the street, collisions were inevitable, Yan Li was next to Qi Tanying, separating her from the others.

As they walked, they stopped at a booth where they won lanterns by guessing lantern riddles.

Yan Li asked Qi Tanying, "Do you want to guess the lantern riddle?"

Seeing someone coming, the vendor hurriedly greeted, "My lord, girl, the lanterns at my stall are the best in all of Kyoto. The rule is to only guess and not sell. If you guess right, just take it away."

The eyes of the two followed the vendor's finger, and saw that he was pointing at an ice phoenix lantern.It hangs on the lantern stand in the form of fluttering wings, its feather crown is as clear and bright as crystal, and its feathers are as white and flawless as snow.

Qi Tanying couldn't help but praised: "It's so beautiful!"

Seeing this, the vendor said, "Miss, do you want to guess the riddle? At today's lantern festival, there will be no second ice phoenix lantern in the capital."

"Let me try it." Yan Li stepped forward and asked the vendor to pick up the lantern riddle.

The lantern riddle reads: Whoever goes on a business trip, the river rushes and disappears.

The riddle is not difficult, Yan Li wrote a word "ke" under the answer after thinking about it.Seeing that he guessed it, the vendor said, "Young master is really knowledgeable."

After finishing speaking, he took the lantern and handed it to him, but at this moment, a white jade hand stretched out from the side, "This lantern book...I want it!"

The person who came was a young girl with a delicate and beautiful face. The red dress was like fire, and her skin was more beautiful than snow.At this moment, she was staring at the ice phoenix lantern with an expression of certainty on her face.

The vendor hurriedly said: "Girl, you are late, the Ice Phoenix Lantern already belongs to this young master."

The girl in red glanced at the vendor, and then her eyes fell on Yan Li, "Presumptuous, who dares to touch the girl's things?"

Yan Li frowned, which family's daughter is this, why is she so overbearing?
Qi Tanying stepped forward and said kindly: "We got this lantern from guessing riddles, so let's look at the other ones, girl."

The girl in red snorted coldly, "I don't care how you got it, I'm going to order the lantern today. If you're sensible, let it go."

The last sentence was addressed to Yan Li.

Ting Lan couldn't help saying: "Why are you so domineering, do you understand what it means to come first, first come first?"

"presumptuous!"

The girl in red became angry from embarrassment, "Bold maidservant, how dare you offend me..."

"Nine girls!"

A deep and magnetic male voice came, and the sullenness on the girl's face immediately dissipated, replaced by a bright smile.She turned around and pulled the owner of the voice over, pointing at Yan Li and Qi Tanying to complain: "Brother Shizi, they robbed me of my lantern."

After seeing the appearance of the visitor, both Qi Tanying and Yan Li were surprised.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother that this unreasonable girl in red was talking about was actually Wu Han.

"Meet the prince." The two greeted Wu Han.

Wu Han smiled and said: "What a coincidence." After speaking, his eyes fell on Qi Tanying, "Miss Qi, can you give me this lantern?"

Qi Tanying was about to speak when Yan Yan said sharply: "Sorry, this lamp cannot be given to the prince."

He smiled and said to Wu Han: "Other lanterns on this street, as long as the prince is fancy, I can buy them and give them to the prince."

After hearing this, Wu Han's gaze rested on Yan Li's face for a few moments, "Si Cheng Yan has a heart, this son still doesn't need money to buy lamps."

Yan Li smiled, "It's my words that are meaningless, so please don't mind me."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qi Tanying, and said to Wu Han: "My lord, A Tan and I plan to go for a walk, I wonder how the lord will arrange it?"

Wu Han: "You two, do as you please!"

Yan Li took Qi Tanying and left the lantern shop.

The girl in red quit, "Brother Shizi, why did you let them go, I haven't returned the ice phoenix lantern yet!"

Wu Han glanced at her, "Princess, there are better lanterns than ice phoenix lanterns on this street. If the princess likes it, I will buy it for the princess."

The nine princesses' eyes lit up when they heard it, and hurriedly went to choose the lanterns.

Wu Han stood still, staring straight at the lantern stand not far away.Princess Jiu picked up the lamp and was about to call him over when she saw his expression.

Following his line of sight, he saw the young man and woman who robbed her of the lamp before.

The smile on Princess Nine's face disappeared.

Her intuition told her that Brother Shizi cared a lot about the woman who robbed her of the lantern.

Earlier, she vaguely heard him call the woman Miss Qi, could it be the Miss Qi whom he wanted to give the hairpin to?
