Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 228
Xueyan's face froze, and when she figured out what was going on, she chased Xi'er and hit her.

Ming concubine entered the courtyard behind, and saw Xueyan angrily asking the maid to help her catch Xi'er, Xi'er said, "I'll hug whoever comes over!"

She is barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes, so she comes here if she is not afraid of the smell. Those little maids shook their heads like rattles, they dare not provoke her, they cannot afford to provoke her.

Xueyan babbled angrily, and Xi'er said, "I'll help you fetch bath water."

Xueyan looked at the skirt on her body, "Hurry up!"

Xi'er happily ran to fetch hot water, but Xueyan pulled the clothes on her back in disgust and went back to the house.

When the two maids entered the room, Ming concubine had read half of a book, Xueyan was fine, half of Xi'er's face was swollen from rubbing, flushed, the contrast between the two sides was sharp, every time the corner of her mouth moved, her face hurt.

Seeing it, Mingyu said, "As for rubbing it so hard?"

Xi'er puffed her cheeks, and glanced at Chu Mochen. She washed it before, but the Shizi still disliked it, and she didn't want to rub it so hard. The skin almost fell off. That dead pigeon, from today onwards, She has made a feud with all the pigeons!
Xueyan said, "It is said that it is unlucky to be soaked in bird droppings, why don't you go to the lantern festival at night?"

Xi'er loves to join in the fun, where there are many people, where she likes to go, looking forward to the Lantern Festival that she has been looking forward to for a long time, not letting her go out shopping, this is more uncomfortable than stabbing her with a knife, she said, "If you are destined to be unlucky, I will wait for you." You can't hide from Chen Xiangxuan."

"That's true," Xue Yan said with a smile, "Why don't you spend money and eliminate disasters?"

Xi'er pouted, "I'm so afraid that my heart is trembling, and you are adding fuel to the fire."

Xueyan patted the skirt and said, "Who told you to rub against me, you have to wash the clothes for me, and I will supervise you."

This time when I went to Foguang Temple, I didn't have a vegetarian meal. Maybe it was because the Princess Jin spoiled my appetite, or Chu Mochen couldn't get used to the study of Foguang Temple, so he came back early, and the servant girl brought the food into the room.

Xi'er and Xueyan went out consciously, so as not to affect the appetite of Ming concubine and Chu Mochen.

Chu Mochen gave Ming concubine some food, "Why don't you eat more?"

Ming concubine said, "I have to save my stomach and go to the street to eat delicious food."

Chu Mochen couldn't help laughing, his beautiful phoenix eyes were shining brightly, making people's hearts jump wildly, his voice was as mellow as wine, extremely pleasant, "The snacks on the street are no better than the meals made by the cooks in the house."

Ming concubine added shiitake mushrooms to his mouth, chewed them lightly, and the chicken soup hidden in the mushrooms overflowed, leaving a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks. The chef in Zhennan Wangfu is really good, Ming concubine said, "The dishes cooked by the Wangfu can be eaten every day Well, the Lantern Festival doesn’t happen every day, and it’s a lively atmosphere, anyway, I want to save my stomach to eat on the street.”

Ming concubine's appetite was halved, and Chu Mochen also halved. If she was not full, she didn't have to walk around to digest food. After reading two pages of the book, Ming concubine lay down on the imperial concubine's couch and fell asleep.

When it was time for Shen, Xi'er woke her up, washed her face to wake herself up, dawdled, and went to see the princess again. The princess told Zhao Feng to take good care of Chu Mochen and wait for the Ming concubine and the others at the Lantern Festival. It's almost the end of the Shenshi period when he left the palace in a serious manner.

The sunset glow in the sky is gorgeous, like brocade across the sky, the yellow is rosy, with purple in the red, and the earth is bathed in the afterglow of the rosy clouds, which can be called the most beautiful scenery in the world.

As the carriage moved forward, the sunset glow was swallowed up by the night. The usually quiet streets, which were few like morning stars, were extraordinarily noisy at this moment. , colorful.

It is worthy of being a feast for the whole people in ancient times, with splendid flowers and lots of voices. In the ancient times when there was a lack of fun, a lantern show is like rain after a long drought, which makes people cheer.

When they arrived at the busy street, the carriage moved slowly, like a snail crawling, Ming concubine couldn't hold back her temper, got off the carriage, and pushed Chu Mochen forward.

There are lights hanging on the eaves along the street in different styles, illuminating the night like day.

There are children carrying lotus lanterns, chasing after each other, innocent and innocent, their laughter is more beautiful than the most beautiful songs in the world.

Xi'er likes to be lively. Looking at so many people on the street, I just feel that my eyes are not enough. There are also many lanterns, including flower lanterns, scroll lanterns, pagoda lanterns, wishful lanterns, white rabbit lanterns, and carp spit pearls. Lanterns, fairy peach birthday celebration lanterns... people are dizzying to watch.

There are also sugar sellers, making them into various shapes. Xi'er slobbered and bluntly said that in the bustling street, Ming concubine heard the voice and said with a smile, "Don't follow, go and play, if you can't find us when you go back , go back to the palace by yourself."

Xi'er got the amnesty order, happily ran to play with Xueyan, lined up behind a few children, and said with her eyes bent into crescent moons, "I want a monkey to eat peaches."

The small vendor responded with a smile, "Good!"

In fact, Ming concubine also wanted to run around, but it was inconvenient for Chu Mochen to sit in a wheelchair, so Ming concubine could only accompany him. Seeing that there were guessing riddles over there, Ming concubine became interested, looked at Chu Mochen and said, "Go out Before, the mother concubine told you to give me a lamp, did you forget?"

On Chu Mochen's handsome face, there was a slight smile, and it was rare that he didn't argue with Ming concubine, and only asked, "Which one do you like?"

Ming concubine's eyes swept away, and she pointed forward with her fingers like mushrooms, and said, "I want that one."

The lamp was placed at the highest place, and it was also the most beautiful among all the lanterns. Presumably, the lantern riddles were also the most difficult to guess. Usually it was so difficult for her, but it was rare for the princess to ask him to deliver the lamp, so she would be impolite.

After Ming concubine finished speaking, Chu Mochen smiled and said, "Okay, just that one."

Ming concubine pushed her forward, and a man beside him just won a lamp and gave it to the girl next to him. The girl said shyly, "I don't want it."

The man was not angry either, and said with a smile, "Why are you shy? In a short while, I will carry a big sedan chair to welcome you in. Marry me, don't you want to have a baby with me? You see how unrestrained the girl is, just ask for it, you Not willing to accept it yet."

Unrestrained...

She just wanted a lantern, so why was she so unrestrained?

She is a foreigner, how did she know how to send lanterns, and she added the meaning of love, Ming concubine bit her lips lightly, and her cheeks were flushed, she said how the princess told Chu Mochen to give her lanterns, but she never thought that there would be flowers inside. There is such a meaning, she asked for it just now, can she go back and say no?

He repented with Chu Mochen, there was no good fruit to eat, and Ming concubine thought about it or forgot it. You have to guess twelve puzzles correctly to get the lamp. It is not easy, and it is not certain whether you can get it.

There are ten kinds of lanterns at the guessing lantern riddles, and the worst one has to be guessed three times in a row. There are many people watching. The first two puzzles are of average difficulty, and the third one is much more difficult. Many people are stuck in the third one. , and fail.

The man held a lantern in his hand and said with a smile, "Master, do you want to guess the riddle?"

Chu Mochen glanced at the lantern at the highest place, the man smiled and said, "My family's lantern riddles are quite difficult, my son, please listen to the question: Candied Coptis chinensis."

"--share weal and woe."

"Don't ask for help when things happen."

"—Self-reliance"

The man continued, "It's bustling, guess what."

"--extravagant."

"If there are other changes, guess a word."

"--add."

……

The man posed a question, almost without thinking, Chu Mochen came out right, and Ming concubine looked at it with admiration.
