As night falls, the quiet atmosphere of the streets fills the air.

The faint light illuminated the door of the shop, reflecting the figures of pedestrians walking quickly on the street.

The lanterns on the street emit a faint red light, reflecting the distant mountain shadows on the road. The water in the middle of the street flows slowly, clearly reflecting the streets on both sides on the water.

A few birds flew over the city wall, fluttering their wings across the night sky, blending into the peaceful atmosphere of the streets. At the corner of the street, an ancient temple stood there, emitting a mysterious atmosphere. The elegant music coming from the door could not cover up the faint and noisy street sounds. The scent of incense wafts through the air, making people feel calm and peaceful.

Stars twinkled in the night sky, and the stars were dotted. The light of the stars intertwined into beautiful clouds, sometimes twinkling, sometimes flowing, and a few wisps of clouds were looming under the moonlight, as if covered with a layer of gauze.

Perhaps because it was Chinese Valentine's Day, there were many men and women on the street, but most of them were wearing masks.

Dongling has this custom.

No one will care about unmarried men and women meeting during the Chinese Valentine's Day, but unmarried men and women will wear masks to cover their faces to avoid being noticed by others and causing trouble.

But even so, Li Miaoyi and Song Yanxing were extremely conspicuous in the crowd. Apart from their outstanding temperaments, even their exquisite masks were extremely special among the crowd.

Suddenly, Li Miaoyi saw a shelf full of lanterns not far away.

A peach blossom lantern appeared in front of Li Miaoyi's eyes. The pink flowers were delicate and beautiful, which inexplicably attracted Li Miaoyi's attention.

Song Yanxing turned his head, followed Li Miaoyi's gaze, and the lanterns came into view. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, he stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and walked towards the lanterns.

Li Miaoyi was stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she showed a charming smile, which matched the peach blossom very well.

Song Yanxing pulled Li Miaoyi to the lantern stall and asked, "Old man, how do you sell these lanterns?"

The old man had a kind smile on his face and said, "Sir, this lantern of mine is not for sale. It only costs five coins. You can guess the lantern riddles three times. If you guess the riddles correctly, I will give you this lantern for you to pick one." "

Song Yanxing nodded, took out a piece of broken silver, handed it to the old man, and said, "What kind of lantern riddle is it?"

The old man bent down and took out five pieces of red paper from under the stall. He held it in his hand and slowly said, "Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, type an idiom."

Song Yanxing turned his head and looked at Li Miaoyi and said, "Try it."

Li Miaoyi thought for a while and then slowly said, "Lack of food and clothing?"

The old man nodded and said, "This girl is really smart."

Li Miaoyi covered her lips and smiled, but did not speak.

The old man tilted his head and said, "Go down to the turret in the lingering shadow and take a shot."

"Nv Shao." Li Miaoyi said without thinking.

The old man took out the last piece of paper and said, "You two, this is the last lantern riddle."

Li Miaoyi nodded.

"Zhu hit an idiom."

Li Miaoyi tilted her head and thought for a while but couldn't figure it out.

The old man raised his hand, touched the long beard on his chin, and said, "Generally the third riddle is more difficult. Miss, you have to understand that we are a small business after all."

Li Miaoyi curled her lips and said with a smile, "Of course." After a pause, she turned to look at Song Yanxing, her eyes full of help.

Song Yanxing curled his lips and chuckled, "The answer is, it's fun to help others."

After speaking, Li Miaoyi looked up at the old man and found that the old man's face was also full of shock. It seemed that he did not expect that Song Yanxing could guess the lantern riddles.

After a while, the old man nodded, pointed to the row of lanterns behind him and said, "You two, please choose whatever you want. All three lantern riddles have been guessed correctly."

Li Miaoyi turned her head and smiled at Song Yanxing, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Li Miaoyi stretched out her hand and took down the peach blossom lantern. At that moment, Song Yanxing felt that people were more delicate than flowers.

The two turned around and walked slowly outside.

Li Miaoyi tilted her head and looked at Song Yanxing and asked slowly, "How do you know that the answer to the riddle is to help others?"

songs Synonymous with bottom snap-fitting.”

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi suddenly realized something and said slowly, "I didn't expect that this is how the answer to the mystery came about."

Song Yanxing nodded slowly.

The two of them walked forward, Li Miaoyi held a lantern in her hand, and Song Yanxing slowly followed behind her, and they walked together.

Among the people in front were some street performers, who were playing, playing, singing, dancing, or performing acrobatics, and the surrounding audience watched and applauded.

Li Miaoyi quickly reached out her hand and pulled Song Yanxing inside.

This was the first time the two of them were so close in front of others, and Song Yanxing felt his heartbeat pause.

The relationship between the two has always been shady.

But God knows he wants everyone to know that Li Miaoyi is his woman.

The two slowly squeezed into the crowd.

One of the jugglers, holding a sharp knife, danced freely, raised several apples above his head, and cut them open with ease.

While Li Miaoyi was amazed, she couldn't help but feel scared.

Li Miaoyi turned around, took Song Yanxing's arm, and turned to look at him with excitement.

Song Yanxing was standing next to Li Miaoyi. He was handsome. He tilted his head slightly and their eyes met.

Li Miaoyi was stunned. The next moment, she coughed slightly and turned her head unnaturally.

The atmosphere between the two was a little strange for a moment.

The juggler, blindfolded, used a dart to open an apple on another juggler's head.

"Okay!" Li Miaoyi clapped her hands vigorously.

After a round of performances, the jugglers gathered around the crowd with wooden bowls in their hands and began to collect cash.

Song Yanxing stretched out his hand, took out a few broken pieces of silver and put them into the wooden bowl.

The juggler thanked him, "Thank you, sir, thank you, miss."

At the end of the performance, Li Miaoyi took Song Yanxing's hand, and the two slowly walked out of the crowd.

On the street, horses can't help but pass through the crowd, looking a bit mysterious. They wear gorgeous clothes and ride tall horses to show their power to passers-by.

The sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets of Zhengege, attracting the attention of many people.

Li Miaoyi was also attracted by the crowd of people riding horses.

Looking at the backs of those people curiously.

Song Yanxing followed Li Miaoyi's gaze and said slowly, "They are His Majesty's private soldiers."

Li Miaoyi looked at Song Yanxing in surprise and said, "Are they going to enter the palace this late at night?"

Song Yanxing nodded.
