Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 407 The name on the lantern
The dots of lanterns drifted with the water to the boat in the distance.

Usually, a wish or a person's name is written on each lantern, which means blessing.

It's just that most of the water lanterns in Jinling Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival are used by young men and women to express their hearts.Put lanterns on this side of the river, and hook lanterns on the other side. The lucky ones can hook the krathongs with their names written on them, and the luckier ones who have a tacit understanding will eventually get married.

As His Royal Highness Yan Wang, who had stayed in Chu State for more than [-] years, of course he knew this custom.

Therefore, he was very much looking forward to seeing the words on Zhao Mingyue's lantern.

The lanterns are like stars floating closer and closer.

The water ghost couldn't take his eyes off it, he waited for Zhao Mingyue's lantern to get close, picked it up, and handed it to Hou Xizhou respectfully.

The slender fingers unwrapped the lantern, and his complexion suddenly changed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the water ghost slowly sank its head under the surface of the water, until the figure on the boat disappeared, and the water ghost hiding in the water came out secretly.

The ghost king really left.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The water ghost picked up the crumpled paper in the water, it was the lantern paper just now, opened it, and could still distinguish three characters on the paper that was smudged by the water.

Lu Yanqing

Lu Yanqing walked behind Zhao Mingyue, seeing her distracted by the distant water surface, he also looked in that direction and said, "Let me guess whose name is written on your lantern?"

Mingyue turned her head to look at him: "Lu Yanqing."

"I have such an honor?" Lu Yanqing didn't believe it, he knew very well that Zhao Mingyue didn't like him.

Mingyue asked him back: "Do you want me to guess the name written on your lantern?"

Lu Yanqing froze for a moment.

Mingyue left the riverside without further debunking, and he followed.

The two walked side by side in the bustling street, where there were many shops and vendors, and the shouts kept coming and going.

Until a vendor selling jade ornaments stepped forward and stopped Lu Yanqing: "My lord, today is a full moon, let's buy a gift for your wife."

Lu Yanqing and Mingyue both stopped at this moment, and suddenly felt that the two of them were just looking at the flowers on horseback, and they didn't really put their mood on the mood of going to the garden during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Indeed, no matter what time of the past few years, I feel my heart is tense, alert all the time, my heart has always maintained a tight rhythm, and I have never really relaxed for a day.

Lu Yanqing pulled her by the wrist through her sleeve, and brought her back to the stall: "Which one do you like?"

Mingyue looked at the neatly opened bracelets, hairpins, step shakers, earrings, jade pendants and other small things.

The proprietress enthusiastically introduced: "Look at this Bu Yao called Die Lian Hua. It is the most favored style of Concubine Shu's Bu Yao. Our ladies in Jinling followed suit one after another. It's so hot with bare hands."

Lu Yanqing went to look at Zhao Mingyue. On top of her simple hair bundle, she only wore a simple hairpin. Although the white clothes on her body were made of high-quality fabrics, it looked very low-key and luxurious, which was very in line with her holy and majestic temperament. If this eye-catching If you wear it on the bu Yao, it will look tacky.

He reached out to grab the jade hairpin beside him.

"Is this good?"

Mingyue nodded: "Okay."

The proprietress: "This is called Bibo Fairy Jade Hairpin, and it's suitable for my lady to wear!"

"That's all." Lu Yanqing gave Yinliang.

The proprietress is going to hit it with a brocade box.

Mingyue said: "There's no need to pretend, Yanqing will put it on for me."

Lu Yanqing just raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the jade hairpin, approached her and asked in a low voice: "Is anyone nearby?"

Mingyue just lowered her head and smiled without answering.

Lu Yanqing didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Today is your birthday again during Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you a happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Mingyue is tall, Lu Yanqing is a few centimeters taller than her, they stand facing each other, Mingyue lowers her head slightly in front of him, Lu Yanqing puts the jade hairpin on her hair bun.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is very affectionate and affectionate.

"All right."

Lu Yanqing stepped back a little, Mingyue raised her head and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Putting aside all emotions, Zhao Mingyue is also unparalleled in beauty, Lu Yanqing nodded: "I have hurt the hearts of all the men in the world."

Mingyue couldn't help laughing: "You are really cooperative."

"This is the truth. You saw how many men gave me envious and jealous eyes along the way. Many of them wanted to knock me out, right?"

Mingyue laughed again.

Lu Yanqing's appearance is also very good, but she is not so eye-catching compared to those monsters like Que Lin and Xue'er, but she is also a bloody youth with extraordinary appearance in the world.

Lu Yanqing leaned closer to her ear and added: "I don't know where that person is, but I should feel the murderous aura, right?"

Mingyue still didn't answer, and walked forward.

Lu Yanqing followed and continued to walk side by side with her. In front of the small tower building in front of her, there were countless lanterns hanging. Under the lanterns were thin bamboo pieces with lantern riddles written on them.

There are rules written on the water sign in red and black on the side, saying that if you guess five riddles, you can exchange for a gift.

Gifts include folding fans, orchids, bracelets and more.

Lu Yanqing pulled her forward and looked up at the crossword puzzles on the lantern. After picking two, he looked at the third one for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

Of course, Mingyue couldn't guess this ancient crossword riddle, but deep in her memory was the impression that Chu Ziyan had guessed lantern riddles, so she naturally thought of the man who let her pick up the riddles at will, and he guessed it effortlessly.

How many people in this world can do this?

"Can not guess?"

Lu Yanqing had already given up on a few, and was looking for them under the lanterns. Mingyue asked him, feeling a little embarrassed: "I'm not sure."

"We came late, and the ones that were easy to guess before were all picked by ourselves."

"You don't need to comfort me like this. I was not proficient in this, so you are so smart?"

"You don't need to put a high hat on me, I really can't."

The two laughed at the same time, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Lu Yanqing said: "Why don't we compete to see who can guess the five characters first?"

"……OK."

Lu Yanqing gave her the two cards in her hand: "You are a girl's family, I will give you two."

Mingyue only took one: "Fair competition, no distinction between male and female."

"it is good!"

The two each took the cards and began to look for the riddles. Zhao Mingyue, who was lacking in interest just now, began to look up and keep looking for the riddles that could be guessed because of the desire to win.

It's hard for her though.

After giving up several times, she raised her hand to pick up a piece of bamboo under another lamp, and said softly: "The birds are flying over the Swan Lake, Tian Han has the heart to frame the silver magpie. Let your heart rest on the Lan Palace today, if you don't have the heart to go to the palace. A greeting."

After reading it again, I felt as if I understood something.

Mingyue pondered: "First disassemble the characters, and then combine new characters... Birds fly over the Swan Lake, birds never... There are no birds in goose characters, me? Tian Han has a heart... Tian Youxin, what I miss?...I miss you ?”

By the way, it must be this one!

Zhao Mingyue reached out to pick bamboo pieces.

The other hand stretched out from behind picked off the bamboo piece faster than her, Zhao Mingyue turned around displeased, and looked at the faces of the people behind her even more displeased.

The slender figure behind him was none other than Hou Xiri.

He glanced at the jade hairpin on Mingyue's head, and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late, go back."

"Got it, you go back first, I want to play for a while."

Mingyue didn't get angry with him, which surprised Hou Xizhou: "You follow me back."

"I came with my friends, we will return together later."

"Lu Yanqing?"

Asking the question knowingly, Zhao Mingyue simply didn't answer, and continued to search for the answer, but the next one, who was so worthless, couldn't guess it at all, so Hou Xizhou asked, "Leave after guessing this one?"

Before Mingyue could answer, he randomly picked four or five and gave them to her: "Go and guess."

I know he will guess, but can you stop being so shameless?Mingyue stood still and did not pick up the bamboo in his hand: "I don't want to play with you."

Hou Xi and Day still held the bamboo slices in their hands.

Mingyue nodded to him, turned around to search for Lu Yanqing's figure, and then continued to walk towards him. Lu Yanqing saw her turn around and asked something with a smile. He gave a nod of the head.

Zhao Mingyue gave the bamboo pieces in the hands of the two to a young young man nearby, and the two left the lantern riddle venue one after another.

On the originally windy and moonlit night, suddenly a gust of cold wind blew up and scattered the lanterns.

Zhao Mingyue and Lu Yanqing had a tacit understanding and left side by side without looking back.

It's just that when the two walked onto the stone bridge, Hou Xiri was already standing on the other side of the bridge. Of course Lu Yanqing knew that it was the ghost king, but he continued to move forward without fear.

It was Zhao Mingyue who reached out to stop him.

"You go back first."

"..." Lu Yanqing looked at her.

"Then follow Feichi and wait for me at the east gate, I will go there soon."

"it is good."

Seeing Lu Yanqing leave in the carriage, Zhao Mingyue turned around and walked towards Hou Xizhou: "Then let's go."

She walked forward with her hands behind her back.

Without accusations and anger, walking peacefully, this made Hou Xizhou feel even more...uneasy.He stepped up to follow and saw Zhao Mingyue walking quietly, but suddenly a song with a strange tune rang in his ears.

You give me a little rain, moisten my heart
I give you a little breeze to blow your flowers

Little flowers in love belong to you and me
The love between the two of us is like a passionate desert oh oh oh~~~~
That enthusiastic girl seemed to be no longer able to overlap with the person in front of her, as far away as the bright moon in the sky,
Noticing that his gaze stayed for a long time, Zhao Mingyue turned her head and smiled at him: "What are you thinking?"

She was really too peaceful, and Hou Xizhou frowned: "What about you?"

"Hmm..." Mingyue thought for a while, "I went to Fulai Building just now, and I ate the pork knuckle there. The taste is not the same as before. I don't know if it's because I don't like it or the chef there has changed. .”

Are you really not angry?
"I'll bring back the original chef to cook for you."

Mingyue smiled helplessly: "Don't bother, look at the uncle who sells candied haws, it seems to be the same one."

Hou Xizhou looked at the man selling candied haws, but he couldn't remember clearly.

In fact, Mingyue doesn't quite remember what that person looked like: "That year you brought me into the palace for the first time, and you deliberately made me eat a lot of candied haws on the way, and you also said that I looked like a monkey, so I was very impressed..."

She calmly talked about the past, and then walked over to buy two bunches of candied haws.
