Shen Ningning was surprised: "Huh? Miss Meng, are you coming to Yuelao Temple too?"

Meng Wan smiled tightly without revealing any flaws.

"I originally came out with my brother and sister-in-law, but there were too many people just now, so I got separated from them. By coincidence, I saw Miss Ye coming and heard that the princess was also here, so I came to say hello."

After saying that, she seemed to have just discovered Xu Jingxi: "So Mr. Xie is here too. Are there so many of you here to enjoy the lanterns? I wonder if I can accompany you?"

"It just so happens that my brother and sister-in-law will also be coming to Yuelao Temple. I'll join you on the way."

When Shen Ningning saw Ye Changyi's depressed expression, she knew that Ye Changyi must have refused but failed.

There was no way, the Yuelao Temple was open to the public, Shen Ningning couldn't stop Meng Wan Ning from entering.

So, she could only nod: "Okay, no problem."

Xu Jingxi's expression was calm and there was no sign of any strange emotion. He just said: "Since everyone is here, let's go in."

Yuelao Temple occupies a large area, including half of the lake. If you want to worship Yuelao and draw lots, you must take a boat there.

However, today is a special festival. In order to express gratitude to Yue Lao, the usual boats on the temple trail have been replaced by small boats for only two people.

At this moment, there was a stop by the lake.

Many couples lined up, waiting to cross the lake and go to the brightly lit Yuelao Hall in the center of the lake to ask for signatures and incense.

Shen Ningning took a look and saw that there was no end in sight for the Wuyangyang team.

She frowned: "Forget it, I won't go. You go ahead. There are too many people. I'll wait for you here."

Lu Shaoyuan said hurriedly: "We're all here. If you're worried about getting tired, I'll wait in line while you go find a place to rest over there."

Meng Wan Ning rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "Why don't you let my maids line up here? We can go over there to see the lanterns first, and then come back."

This was a good way to save time, but Shen Ningning was a little hesitant.

Unexpectedly, Ye Changyi, a simple-minded guy, immediately agreed.

"That's not bad. Please excuse me, Miss Meng."

"What's the trouble? We are all friends. Miss Ye, don't be polite to me." Meng Wan Ning smiled.

Shen Ningning sighed secretly.

Could Chang Yi really not see the inevitable light in Meng Wanning's eyes when she looked at her third brother?

However, Meng Wan Ning's maid frowned and said, "Miss, it's okay for the slave to help queue up, but you see, the trail on the other side of the queue only allows two people to ride the boat together. How should the slave arrange it?"

"Discuss this in advance so that the slave does not give you the wrong name and something goes wrong when you and the nobles come back."

Shen Ningning said subconsciously: "It's very simple. For example, Xiaowei and I go on a boat, Chang Yi and my third brother go on a boat, and then Miss Meng goes on a boat with your own maid."

Lu Shaoyuan's black eyes were startled: "What about me?"

"You come with Mr. Pei." Shen Ningning glanced at him secretly.

Lu Shaoyuan remembered that Shen Ningning had told him that the purpose of Ye Changyi's visit today was to be alone with Xu Jingxi.

Even if he wanted to be in a boat with Shen Ningning, there was nothing he could do.

I can only nod silently: "I will listen to your arrangement."

But Meng Wan Ning laughed dryly and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess's arrangements are really good. However, today is a special holiday. The people who are going to take the boat are men and women. Even if they don't know each other, they still want to have a companion to get good luck."

"It's not that important to me. I can just sit with the maid. But for you, Princess, Miss Qi and even Third Young Master Xie, why don't you stay with me as a male and a female?"

Lu Shaoyuan pursed his lips, wanting to agree with Meng Wan Ning's suggestion, but he did not dare to say it.

His dark eyes looked at Shen Ningning nervously, waiting for her to make up her mind.

"Then..." Shen Ningning glanced at Ye Changyi and Xu Jingxi: "The third brother is still with Changyi, and Xiaowei... is with Lu Shaoyuan."

At this time, Lu Shaoyuan and Pei Yin were silent at the same time.

Qi Xiuwei smiled gently: "I think it's good."

Ye Changyi secretly glanced at Xu Jingxi beside her, but saw that he always had a gentle expression on his face, as if he had no support or disapproval.

She hesitated, fearing that agreeing directly would make her thoughts too obvious.

So, she couldn't help but said: "How about we draw lots."

Meng Wanning was originally told by Shen Ningning that her eyes were dark and gloomy, but after hearing Ye Changyi's words, she immediately agreed.

"Miss Ye is so smart. This is a good idea."

Shen Ningning's eyes widened and she looked at Ye Changyi: "You really want to draw lots? What if you get Lu Shaoyuan?" Lu Shaoyuan: "It's not a shame if you get me!"

Shen Ningning glanced at him, and Lu Shaoyuan immediately changed his mind: "It's just that I don't want to."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingxi also said calmly at this time: "Just follow Miss Ye's wishes. It won't be troublesome to draw lots."

Meng Wan Ning was overjoyed and urged the maid: "Go over there and borrow pen and paper from the gangsters."

The maid was very busy.

Shen Ningning secretly tugged on Ye Changyi's sleeve.

The girl lowered her voice, her watery eyes filled with vivid anger.

"Sooner or later I will be pissed off by you!"

"Don't be angry Ning Ning, I feel..." Ye Changyi quietly glanced at Xu Jingxi who was talking to Pei Yin: "I feel that Xu Jingxi doesn't want to be with me. You said it twice, but he didn't respond. .”

Shen Ningning rolled her eyes beautifully.

"For someone as stupid as my third brother, he agreed without saying a word!"

The maid brought a pen and paper, Meng Wanning tore it into several strips, wrote the last words of the names of all the male companions on the trip, and then folded them.

Shen Ningning was afraid that Meng Wanning might do something secretly, so she kept a close eye on her, but luckily she didn't do anything.

After finishing writing, Meng Wan Ning took out her sachet, put all the notes in, and then handed them to the maid.

"Go and line up properly. We'll be back in a while."

"I understand, ma'am."

Shen Ningning looked at the maid's back, then looked at Meng Wan Ning, with an unnoticed smile on her face.

It was as if she already knew that she would definitely get Xu Jingxi.

A group of people went to watch the lanterns, and the crowd was crowded. Lu Shaoyuan followed Shen Ningning all the time.

He pointed to the lantern king hanging at the highest point. It was a seven-colored treasure lantern with a hexagonal lantern and thousands of dazzling tassels hanging from it.

In the night sky, the lights are constantly flowing and shining, it is really beautiful.

Seeing Shen Ningning staring at it for a long time, Lu Shaoyuan asked, "Do you like it? I want it for you?"

Shen Ningning muttered: "If you want to get the Lamp King, you have to write an excellent couplet and defeat all the talented people who come to challenge you. Can you do it?"

"Tch! Don't underestimate me, wait!" Lu Shaoyuan hurried away.

Qi Xiuwei walked up to Shen Ningning in time and said with a smile: "Ningning, I think that although Lu Shaoyuan is not as good as the prince, he is still very good. At least he is impatient with everyone, but he is always attentive to you."

Pei Yin listened attentively and pretended to look at the surrounding lanterns.

He heard Shen Ningning say: "Lu Shaoyuan is very good."

Pei Yin secretly wrote down the task assigned to him by Master Lu so that he could inform him of it when he returned.

However, the next second, Shen Ningning said again: "But brother is better. The two of them are different. You see, if Lu Shaoyuan can't hold the lantern, he will try to buy it with money."

Qi Xiuwei tilted her head curiously: "What if the prince comes?"

"Brother will make everyone afraid to participate in the challenge. In the end, the lamp king can only be mine." At this point, Shen Ningning laughed herself.

Mo Lingwei's methods were always simple and crude.

Qi Xiuwei also laughed.

After a while, Lu Shaoyuan came back with a calm face.

"What's wrong? Lost to someone else so quickly?"

"There were too many people writing couplets. In the three-story library, there were more than a hundred people queuing up to grab the Lantern King. I offered to buy it for three thousand gold, but the trail rejected me and said they wouldn't sell it."

Qi Xiuwei secretly gave Shen Ningning a thumbs up.

What a guess.

Shen Ningning smiled: "Forget it, I don't really want it anyway."

As she spoke, she turned her face, only to see Ye Changyi disappeared, and Meng Wanning gathered around her third brother, greeting him with a smile.

Shen Ningning widened her beautiful eyes.

Where is Chang Yi!
