Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 672: Do you think it’s better for me to be famous all over the world, or to be unknown?

Shangyuan Festival.

Because there was no war in the neighborhood during the peaceful years, the curfew was postponed for two hours, and a long and wide street was vacated for the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival for the people to have fun.

Under the starry night, a long and wide street in the capital city was bustling with activity, and lanterns that looked like stars hung high in the sky.

As several carriages arrived, the Cheng family got out of the carriages one after another.

Then they went into groups and wandered the noisy streets.

Sang Shunhua saw Xiao Yuanyi standing there, looking at Cheng Shaoshang who was gradually walking away, and said with a smile:
"This is the finest Shu brocade, and it only matches Niao Niao's appearance."

I saw Cheng Shaoshang dressed in red Shu brocade and pure white fox fur. The moonlight slipped from her bun and cheeks. Her dark brown eyes shone in the autumn water, and her red lips bloomed like flowers.

Xiao Yuanyi looked at her:

"My wife, you only give me Niao Niao but not Sisi. Isn't this treating one person favorably and favoring another?"

Sang Shunhua smiled and replied:

"This is a gift I got from Jia Ci on his birthday. I only got one picture. I don't want to give more."

Xiao Yuanyi didn't say anything to this. She just walked to Cheng Shu, who was walking with Cheng Shaoshang, and said softly:

"Sisi, you were at Ge's house before, but now it's your first time coming to the capital for the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. Auntie will take you around now. It's very lively out front."

After saying that, he held Cheng Shuo's hand affectionately and walked away.

Cheng Shaoshang's dejected expression was clearly visible, and Sang Shunhua was also heartbroken. Not far away, Cheng Shi, her second brother Cheng Song, and her third brother Cheng Shaogong saw this scene, and their expressions froze.

Immediately, the shorter Cheng Shaogong shouted:

"Niao Niao, let's go. Brother, I will take you to look at the lanterns."

Cheng Song followed and shouted:

"Yes, Niao Niao, let's go."

Cheng Shi also started to coax her:
"Father will go with you too."

In this way, the father and son took Cheng Shaoshang to the lantern festival dotingly.

After shopping for a while, the family came to the market one after another.

When Cheng Shi went to boast about the beauty of Mrs. Cheng's hairpins, and Cheng Song and the two brothers were attracted by other stalls, Cheng Shaoshang suddenly saw his mother smiling and choosing hairpins for Cheng Shuan, and there was a smile on his face for no reason. The look of sadness.

He couldn't help but tilt his head and look into the distance. He saw a dimly lit place. Although the crowd was moving, he still spotted a figure in plain white robes who looked very familiar to him.

There was only one person she could see. After being stunned, her pretty little face and extremely smart eyes were full of indescribable happiness.

Yang Jiao walked up to Cheng Shaoshang and said softly:

“Life can’t be as good as you think, but it can’t be as bad either.”

"After all, there are many things worthy of love in a person's life. Don't be discouraged just because you are not satisfied with one thing."

While he was speaking, a red jade hairpin like a phoenix spreading its wings was inserted into Cheng Shaoshang's bun.

Then he looked up and down and nodded:

"It's not bad. It looks full of life and looks much brighter."

Cheng Shaoshang smiled and said:
"I remember that you like silence and don't like movement. Why did you come to the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival?"

Yang Jiao raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Watching a good show, Princess Yuchang of Ruyang King is very happy with Ling Buyi, but Ling Buyi doesn't like her at all, so tonight she specially arranged a good show in which a hero saves a beauty."

Cheng Shaoshang showed emotion, but seemed to have remembered something:
"I remember you are not such a boring person." Yang Jiao gently patted her little head:
"Maybe he was led astray by someone."

Cheng Shaoshang looked unhappy and immediately spoke seriously:
"You have wronged a good man, and I will punish you by taking me to see it later. Now let's go to the lantern festival first."

After saying that, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Yang Jiao's sleeve and walked towards a restaurant.

"It's strange that Tian's Restaurant sells lanterns. I don't know how much one costs."

Yang Jiao looked at the restaurant full of lanterns and said:
"This is a lantern riddle. Whoever guesses correctly will get a lantern."

Cheng Shaoshang curled his lips:
"It turned out to be a lantern riddle, what's the meaning?"

Yang Jiao glanced at her:
"If you don't guess correctly, it won't be interesting. If you guess correctly, it will be interesting to show off your holiness and reputation in front of others."

Cheng Shaoshang looked playful and whispered:
"Rather than guessing lantern riddles, I want to learn your illusion skills. How do you do it? You have a color that almost makes the world dim, but others just don't notice you."

"If I learn your illusion, then no matter what I want to do from now on, I can do it without anyone noticing."

At this time, Tianjia Restaurant gathered many people who came to guess lantern riddles, most of them were girls, and they kept chanting:

"Master Yuan will definitely come back to guess lantern riddles again this year."

"That's right, Mr. Yuan has guessed all the lantern riddles at Tian's Restaurant for the past three years. He should not miss them this year. I wonder if he can guess them all this time?"

"Young Master Yuan Shanjian studied under the great Confucian scholar from Bailu Mountain. Three years ago, when the imperial court called for the great Confucian scholars from all over the world to debate the classics, he was eighteen years old and debated the classics on behalf of his teacher. He became famous all over the capital and was known as the most talented person in the capital. How difficult is it for a little kid to guess lantern riddles?"

Cheng Shaoshang listened to the chatter of the crowd and said in confusion:
"How boring Mr. Yuan is. He has guessed everything correctly for three years and yet he still wants to guess."

She changed her voice, leaned over, and whispered:

"I said you were raised in the palace since you were a child. You are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as martial arts, wine making, cooking and many other skills. Why are you so unknown?"

"You must know that there is Ling Buyi like you before him, who is already a famous young general, and behind him there is Yuan Shanjian who is full of knowledge and is even known as the most talented person in the capital."

Yang Jiao smiled and asked:

"Then do you think it's better for me to be famous all over the world, or to be unknown?"

Cheng Shaoshang replied without any hesitation:

"Of course it's better to be unknown."

As she spoke, she secretly added in her heart:
"If you are famous all over the world, you will not be missed by all the girls in the world, and you will attract all kinds of peach blossoms."

Cheng Shaoshang clutched Yang Jiao's sleeve and said:

"It's okay if you don't want to guess the lantern riddles. Besides, my father brought me the most famous Qianli Zui from Tianjia Restaurant before. It's far worse than the Peach Blossom Drunk you make. You'd better take me to the theater."

Not long after, the two of them approached an arch bridge and saw a beautiful woman dressed in yellow being held in the moonlight by servants and maids.

Yang Jiao said softly:

"This is Prince Ruyang's only granddaughter. Because her parents died early, she was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child. She is used to being arrogant. Because she is obsessed with Ling Buyi, I am planning to find out where he is today. When he passed by here, he pretended to fall into the water and created a legend in the capital."

After hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help but tell the truth:

"I heard that Ling Buyi is an invincible and invincible general. I didn't expect that he could be so admired by the princess. Sure enough, he is famous all over the world and is easy to attract peach blossoms."

As soon as she finished speaking, her pretty face was stunned, but she felt Yang Jiao's meaningful eyes. She couldn't help but blush slightly, and she coughed softly while pretending to be calm:
"In my opinion, the water under the bridge is at most up to the waist. How could Ling Buyi not see through this little trick?"

Yang Jiao looked into the distance:

"Just wait and see what happens, and you will know the result."
