The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zuo Xiangning put on the clothes prepared for her by Mrs. Jiang.

Old Mrs. Jiang had clothes made for her, Jiang Ruoxue and Jiang Ruolan in different colors but the same style.

The three of them had made an appointment a long time ago. They all wore peony buns and beads of the same color as their clothes, and they went to the front yard together.

Zuo Zixi and his wife were chatting with Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang who had arrived first. Seeing them coming, Min Yujia smiled and said, "Everyone, look who is coming!"

Everyone looked over and couldn't help but their eyes lit up.

Zuo Xiangning is wearing bright yellow, Jiang Ruolan is wearing light blue, and Jiang Ruoxue is wearing light pink.

Where the three of them stood, they looked like three peonies in bud, delicate and lovely.

"Zixi, you have a heavy responsibility tonight. You have to take good care of our three daughters." Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "By the way, there is also your wife, who is also a daughter."

Everyone laughed for a while, then got into their own carriages and went to Deyue Tower in the center of the city.

Zuo Zixi made a reservation there. Downstairs there is the Lantern Festival Street. Sitting upstairs, you can see the fireworks in the square not far away.

Zuo Zixi sent everyone upstairs, and he was waiting for everyone from the Min family downstairs.

Zuo Xiangning sat next to Jiang. She wanted to sit quietly for a while, but Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Ruoxue, who were sitting next to her, gently tugged on her sleeves and begged her in a low voice: "Fourth sister, please tell your grandmother and take her with you." Shall we go downstairs to look at the lights?"

Zuo Xiangning felt a little hesitant. Jiang, who was sitting on the other side of her, looked at them lovingly and said, "You guys go for a stroll, bring more people with you, don't let anyone rush you."

"You sisters are in the same place. If you are really separated, don't look around. Just come back here quickly." Mrs. Jiang also said.

Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Ruoxue happily agreed.

Zuo Zixi glanced at Zuo Xiangning, stood up and said, "I'll go shopping with my sisters."

"You and your wife, you both go," Jiang said with a smile, "You haven't been to the lantern festival in the capital for several years."

"Let's all go." Old Mrs. Jiang and my aunt also said, "Just come back early."

Zuo Xiangning and others smiled and agreed.

Jiang Ruoxue and Jiang Ruolan pulled Zuo Xiangning downstairs one by one, with a group of girls and women following behind them.

Zuo Zixi stretched his neck and looked at Zuo Xiangning in front of him, and stretched out his hand to support Min Yujia.

Min Yujia was smart and considerate and said: "You go and stay with your sisters. They are still young and curious about everything. You don't have to worry about me. I will hang out at the door and then go upstairs to accompany my mother and grandmother."

"They are young, and you are not big either." Zuo Zixi smiled and said, "There are people waiting at my mother's place. This is our first fifteen years together. I should go shopping with you."

Min Yujia pursed her lips and smiled softly, her eyes filled with unbreakable affection.

Zuo Zixi put his arm around her shoulders and whispered to the boy next to him: "Let Bingyu accompany the girls to the east. There are lantern riddle guessers in the square over there."

Min Yujia thought to herself: Her husband is really interested in his sister. He is worried about being alone with so many people around him.

When we arrived at the east square, a one-meter-high platform was set up in the middle of the square. It was covered with beautifully crafted lanterns of various shapes. Whoever guessed the lantern riddles correctly could choose one from the top.

Jiang Ruolan stood on tiptoe and looked at the stage, "Fourth sister, I want that rabbit lantern."

"I want the lotus one." Jiang Ruoxue pointed to a pink lantern on it and whispered: "Let's guess lantern riddles together? The three cobblers are guaranteed to be able to rival Zhuge Liang."

"Do you think Fourth Sister is as stupid as you?" Jiang Ruolan sniffed at Jiang Ruoxue, "Fourth Sister is smart, she can guarantee she can guess right."

"Fourth sister, can you?" Jiang Ruoxue asked anxiously, raising her eyebrows.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the lantern riddles on it and said with a smile, "How will you know if you don't try?"

She glanced at the lantern riddles, pointed to one of them, and whispered to Bingyu, "The answer to that riddle is willow." Bingyu asked the guards around her to find the riddle owner.

"Now someone has guessed the answer to the riddle," a chubby and gentle man on the stage said loudly: "I can live in the north and south. The spring breeze will comb my braid. I can build a pergola by the stream and lake, and I can dance in the air with snowflakes. The answer is ... Willow tree! Congratulations to this guest, a lantern."

The guard pointed to the rabbit lantern.

"Fourth sister is so amazing!" Jiang Ruolan's eyes narrowed as she smiled.

She showed Jiang Ruoxue the lantern, "Is this rabbit lantern good-looking?"

"Fourth sister, I want that lotus lantern." Jiang Ruoxue hugged Zuo Xiangning's arm and coquettishly.

"You are indispensable." Zuo Xiangning pointed to the other two riddles with a smile and told Bingyu, "That one is corn, and the other one is orchid."

Bingyu nodded in agreement.

The host took off the riddle and said loudly: "What a strange creature. A beard grows out of its waist. Pull out the beard and peel it off, revealing rows of teeth. The answer to the riddle is corn. The gentleman in the flower is beautiful and fragrant, The beauty in the empty valley is famous, her grace is refined and admirable, she is beautiful even if there is no one around her. The answer to the mystery is orchids. Another guest got the answer right."

Jiang Ruoxue raised the lantern in front of Jiang Ruolan's eyes, "Do you think I'm prettier than that rabbit of yours?"

"No." Jiang Ruolan shook her head, "My rabbit lantern is still more beautiful."

Zuo Xiangning looked around on the stage and pointed to another one: "It has roots but does not touch the ground. It has leaves but does not bloom. It drifts with the water during the day and does not return home at night. Duckweed."

Bingyu brought back another rotating heron lantern for Zuo Xiangning.

Both Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Ruoxue couldn't put it down, but they were too embarrassed to talk about changing.

Zuo Xiangning waited until they had seen enough before asking someone to take the lamp back to the restaurant.

"Let the old lady and the others have fun too." Zuo Xiangning pulled the two of them out of the crowd and went to the other side.

Zuo Xiangning pointed to the things on the small stall next to her and said generously to the Jiang sisters: "Whatever you want, just tell me and I will buy it for you."

The Jiang sisters jumped up happily, gave the lantern to the girl next to them, and ran towards the stall selling silk flowers.

Zuo Xiangning followed from behind and bought two flowers for each of them, and two red ones for her sister-in-law.

When we arrived at the comb stall, one person bought a comb engraved with complicated patterns.

When I arrived at the jade stall, I bought each of them a jade pendant with a comb, and a fan pendant.

He also bought a mask for each of them, and took them to eat snacks along the way, which made the two of them happy and called them closer than their own sisters.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the two of them who looked like children, envied them from the bottom of her heart, and was willing to pamper them.

The three of them walked around for a long time, and they were all a little tired, so they walked back.

There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the three of them had guards to clear the way, but it was difficult for them to move forward.

One of the guards said: "Girl, how about we take the alley to the north and go around to the restaurant."

Zuo Xiangning stretched out her head and looked at the bustling crowd in front of her, nodding and saying, "Then go around."

As she approached the back door of the restaurant, Jiang Ruolan put the mask on her face, "Let's put on all the masks and let grandma see it too."

"Okay." Jiang Ruoxue also put the mask on her face.

Zuo Xiangning smiled and complied with their wishes.

As soon as she put on the mask, she saw Jiang Ruolan, who was walking in front, stumbled on her feet and fell to the side of the road. Panxia called out to the girl, and stepped forward to help her with Pancui. Before they could stand, Steady, the few people walking towards him stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Ruolan, climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard next to her.
