The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 207 Hanging Out

Lin Zisu nodded, with the corners of her mouth curved, looking at Xie Xi with a half-smile.

Xie Xi's intentions were clearly revealed, that is, he intentionally distracted others so that the two of them could spend some time alone.

Lin Zisu didn't take it seriously either, since she accepted the marriage bestowed by the emperor, then this marriage cannot be changed, so it's better to try to discover the advantages of Xie Xi.

She naturally noticed Xie Xi's arrangement just now.Xie Xi has never thought that Lin Fangfeng and Xie Xi are like-minded, and even their ideas are not serious.

After the beggar tossed, there were many fewer people on the road.The two were walking side by side on the road, and they could still hear the faint sound of catching the thief in the distance. It was unknown whether the girl's companion hadn't given up chasing it just now, or the beggar was committing crimes elsewhere.

This is the first time for Lin Zisu to participate in the Qixi Lantern Festival in two lifetimes.

In the previous life, because of the restraint of her mother, she never participated in the festivals in Beijing, and later became a queen, so she never had the opportunity to leave the palace.

In the memory of the original owner, he participated in many temple fairs. However, since Lin Yuanzhi entered the capital, his father respected his identity and his mother never left home. Just one dish.

The children of other families are all looking forward to the festival, but the Lin brothers and sisters are not interested in the festival.

During festivals, the servants in the mansion have time to go out for a walk, but the brother and sister are more leisurely than usual.

The two of them are either reading a book or studying the art of heavenly craftsmanship, so they no longer have to worry about someone urging them to sleep.

Coming out tonight, Lin Zisu not only saw all kinds of lanterns, but also a variety of gadgets.Xie Xi will tell her the beauty of some things that she has never seen before.

Lin Zisu would stop and study something that was rarely seen in ordinary times, holding it in his hand.

She just walked forward, but didn't notice that every time she put down the things in her hand and went to the next booth, two people would buy the things she had finished reading.

Lin Zisu, Liang Wanyi, and Luo Yue made an appointment to meet at the gate of Yuanjue Temple in Xushi, and Lin Zisu didn't arrive at the place until Xushi after wandering around like this.

Lin Zisu saw from a distance that Luo Yue and her second sister Luo Xiao were standing at the gate of Yuanjue Temple.

It seemed that the Luo sisters had come out of Luo Ying's misery. Luo Xiao was wearing a moon-white shirt, staring straight ahead, and Luo Yue was wearing a long pink-white dress, looking left and right.

When Lin Zisu was looking at her, Luo Yue also saw her, and immediately became overjoyed, and ran towards Lin Zisu in three steps at a time.

When Luo Yue approached, Lin Zisu smiled and said, "Ah Yue, let me teach you and Sister Yi, Sister Xiao has been waiting for a long time."

After Lin Zisu finished speaking, she realized that there were only the Luo family sisters at the gate of Yuanjue Temple, and Liang Wanyi was not in sight.

"Hey, where's sister Yi?"

Luo Yue smiled and pointed to the crowd not far away, and said, "There is a lantern riddle contest over there, and Sister Yi is guessing lantern riddles over there."

Lin Zisu looked along Luo Yue's fingers, and saw a platform not far away, surrounded by a variety of lanterns.

Luo Yue had long thought of joining in the fun at the stage, but just now she and Liang Wanyi volunteered to wait for Lin Zisu here.

Finally looking forward to Lin Zisu's arrival, Luo Yue tugged at Lin Zisu's sleeve and ran towards Luo Xiao.

This tugging didn't move Lin Zisu at all, Luo Yue noticed Xie Xi beside Lin Zisu.Luo Yue and Xie Xi have met several times at Nankang Princess's Mansion, although they are not familiar with each other, they finally know each other.

She was stunned for a moment, with a narrow smile on her face, and said to Lin Zisu in a low voice: "Okay, Susu, we agreed to date Sister Yi, why did you even bring this one?"

Lin Zisu patted her forearm lightly, feigned anger and said, "Ah Yue, you're making fun of me again!"

The two girls chatted and laughed, Luo Yue suddenly thought of Liang Wanyi, and exclaimed, "Sister Yi is still on that stage, let's go and cheer her on."

Luo Yue couldn't help but dragged Lin Zisu into the crowd.Feeling helpless secretly, Xie Xi raised his arms high, gestured to a distance not far away, and then followed closely behind Lin Zisu.

Luo Yue called Luo Xiao, and the four of them moved slowly towards the stage along the flow of people.

The area around the table was already crowded with people, and it seemed that it was impossible to squeeze into the crowd.Xie Xi frowned. He was used to being alone. When he saw so many people, his first reaction was to ask someone to clear the place.

He was about to call out for people to come over, when Lin Zisu beside him suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, I know you have someone with you, we are just watching the lantern, there is no need to scare others gone."

Xie Xi brought several guards with her when she went out today. In order to get along well with Lin Zisu, she asked those guards to follow behind her secretly.

I thought what I did was very secretive, but Lin Zisu still discovered it.Xie Xi rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Since Susu doesn't want to, let's just watch from a distance."

There were several people standing on the stage, except for the middle-aged man in the middle, all of them had masks on their faces, so their faces could not be discerned.

Lin Zisu didn't know the rules of guessing riddles. Seeing the strange posture on the stage, she asked Luo Yue in a low voice.

When Luo Yue came, he had already understood the rules of the lantern riddles, and accompanied Liang Wanyi to sign up, and then went to wait for Lin Zisu at the gate of Yuanjue Temple.At this time, when Lin Zisu asked, she simply told Lin Zisu about it.

Those who participated in the guessing game stood up according to the position of the innate 64 hexagrams, waiting for the middle-aged man to give orders.

There are 36 lanterns hung high on the platform, representing a total of 36 lantern riddles.

The rules are very cruel. Every time a lantern is lit, the people on the stage must answer the answer immediately. Those who fail to answer the answer eight times in a row will be eliminated.

The person who sticks to the end is the winner of the lantern riddle.

In other words, after the eight lights are turned on, there will be at most eight people left on the stage.

For the sake of mystery, all participants must wear masks.Those who are eliminated don't have to worry about being recognized and ridiculed because of their lack of talent, and the people on the stage will not be distracted by the appearance of their opponents.

Lin Zisu looked up and saw that 32 of the 24 lanterns hanging high on the platform had already been lit.

There are four other contestants on the stage, standing according to the order of east, west, north and west. It can be seen from the clothes that there are three men and one woman standing on the stage.

The woman was wearing a light blue flowered blouse embroidered with silver patterns, and the wide cuffs fluttered in the wind, indescribably free and easy.Tightened from the waist, the lower body wore a goose yellow long skirt embroidered with begonias, which added a touch of agility.

Even through the mask, one can still see that the woman's eyes are shining like stars.Lin Zisu was very familiar with this look, and said with a smile to Luo Yue: "Sister Yi is really amazing, today's winner must be her!"
