Chapter 101 Lamp King
Seeing that Murong Jing didn't care so much and was bumped around so casually, she was a little anxious.

"Don't worry, it won't break, I didn't see the young master protecting it!" Murong Jing didn't care. If it was an ordinary person, this string of small lanterns would have been knocked to pieces long ago. He quietly guarded such a string along the way. Little thing, I don't know how much thought it took.

Seeing her assurance, Chu Lingyue was also relieved, and dragged Murong Jing to drill in crowded places.

To say that in the capital, Wangjiang Tower is the most crowded place.One is because of the beautiful scenery and the other is because there are too many activities here.Today is a special day. Several big merchants in the capital jointly set up a platform near the Wangjiang Tower, and then guessed lantern riddles, played games and so on.This year's Lantern King is a half-person-high glazed octagonal revolving lantern.The whole body of the revolving lantern is made of glass and red sandalwood. It has eight sides, each of which has a landscape painting. The seemingly ordinary landscape paintings, but when you look closely, you find that the water in those landscape paintings is actually flowing.

"Is this the Lantern King of this year?" Chu Lingyue pulled Murong Jing, and felt a little strange looking at the half-human tall Lantern King.

"Probably so." Murong Jing handed all the things in his hand to Xiaodouzi, and was eager to try.

"Hey, don't be ridiculous, the shopkeeper said just now that you have to go through three rounds." Chu Lingyue was a little distrustful of Murong Jing.This time, there are three levels for Seizing the Lamp King. The first level is a pair, but it is just an ordinary pair. The scholars in the capital know it well. The second level is a game of throwing pots. It is considered a pass.The third level is easy to say, it is to give you a copper coin and hit Chang'e on the Wangjiang Tower, and then Chang'e will not hurt anyone when she falls, and the lamp cannot be extinguished.This is indeed a bit difficult, but this difficulty is also worthy of the exquisiteness of the Lantern King.

Chu Lingyue was not worried about the first two levels, but worried about the third level.Murong Jing is a general, and he does not practice the skillful kung fu of the Jianghu people, but the real boxing kung fu. It is not easy to win the championship with such exquisiteness to the extreme.

Giving him a reassuring look, Murong Jing lifted her foot up to the stage.Pairs is crowded with people, and many people are eager to try.Murong Jing went up from the Huadeng to write an upper couplet, looked at it, wrote the next couplet with a smile and handed it over. The person in charge of the inspection gave him a sign and told him to go back.Chu Lingyue followed, and on another table, there were ten vases in a row, and a tea table was placed thirty steps away from the vases. It seemed that this was the place where the pot was thrown.

After Murong Jing arrived, she was not in a hurry to get started, but first watched how others played.The previous scholar's wrist was not strong enough, so after trying twice, the arrow landed steadily three steps away from the vase.The scholar was a little frustrated, but the little second who was in charge of keeping the grades reminded him with a smile, "Young master, why don't you throw all the ten arrows, even if you can't make it to the third level, you can still take a little lantern to make the girl happy, right?"

It turned out that Wangjianglou made a lot of small lanterns and put them on both sides because they were afraid of losing the ranking. According to the final investment amount, the participants could get a small lantern to give back to their sweetheart.

Sure enough, after being told by Xiao Er, the scholar regained his spirits, he shot all ten arrows, and only three were in the vase.Xiaoer smiled and took off a lotus lantern and handed it to the scholar, "Come out of the mud without being stained, I wish you all wishes come true this year, young master."

The scholar took the things down with a smile, and a little girl beside Chu Lingyue shyly greeted them. Watching the two walk away, Chu Lingyue focused on Murong Jing.When a seat was vacant, Murong Jing was not polite, rolled up his sleeves, padded the arrow in his hand, felt the weight and threw it out without hesitation.

Not long after, all ten arrows landed firmly in the vase.

"Wow, he really hit all the shots!" There was a little girl's exclamation beside her. Hearing these voices, Chu Lingyue couldn't help feeling a little complacent.

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't won all of them tonight, and the one with the most just now has only won nine!"

"Don't be stupid, do you know who this is? This is Young Master Jingcheng, even if all ten arrows are hit, you have no chance to throw yourself into your arms!" The words in this sentence are full of sourness , Chu Lingyue couldn't help looking back, he was a young man dressed as a scholar, presumably there was his sweetheart between the two girls just now, but the sweetheart expressed admiration to other men in front of him, so Just jealous.

Perhaps the two girls had never been told, one was about to turn against him on the spot, while the other said nothing, a veil was thrown on his face, "Hey, it's better to throw yourself into this kind of hero than you are here Speak sourly, if you have the ability, go up and win that Lantern King."

The scholar held a lantern in his hand, which was somewhat similar to the one on the stage. He thought he had tried it just now, but it didn't work, so he was choked up and had to go away with a cold face.

Seeing that the scholar had left, Chu Lingyue put her eyes on the stage with a smile, and saw that Murong Jing had already received the sign and was about to go to collect the copper coins.

Seeing that someone was really going to light the Chang'e lantern, everyone spontaneously and consciously stayed away from here.After all, such a big lamp is hung so high, it would be bad if something accidentally falls and hits someone or something.On the contrary, Murong Jing didn't have so many scruples, she found a suitable position, and then flicked her wrist, the copper coin in her hand flew up, with a sound of "ding", it seemed that something had been hit, and then the Chang'e lantern began to slow down. As they descended, Murong Jing also stepped on the railing next to her and flew straight up, catching that Fairy Chang'e steadily, and then landed lightly on the ground.

"Okay!" Experienced by his wonderful skills, the people below couldn't help applauding, and the sudden burst of applause made Chu Lingyue smile, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes.The tenderness was noticed by the person not far away, so he ran out quickly.

After falling to the ground, Fairy Chang'e didn't hurt anyone, there was no damage, and the candles inside were still jumping happily.Without further ado, the shopkeeper of Wangjianglou asked for the address and said that he would send someone to deliver the lamp to his home.

"It's okay, I brought someone here today, and the shopkeeper can be handed over to my servants." Murong Jing saluted everyone neatly, and then waved, Bai Nuo appeared out of nowhere, and took it with a smile The octagonal glazed lantern in the shopkeeper's hand then happily ran away.

Without thinking about it, he knew that he was going in the direction of Liuliyuan.

In the past few days, the old lady Murong has been more diligent in asking about Murong Jing, but Bai Nuo dare not talk about Chu Lingyue, so he has become more and more dog-legged at Murong Jing's place, so as not to be sent to the old lady by him to be talked about .

It was lively here, but Li Chujun was very angry there.He thought that if Chu Lingyue was cold, she would obediently come to the door, but the servants around him told him that Chu Lingyue and Murong Jing were winning the Lantern King.At first, he still didn't believe it, but when he was at the window just now, he clearly saw Chu Lingyue and Murong Jing walking past.The aura between the two is not at all like the strangeness and distance between him and Chu Lingyue.

"When did it happen?" Li Chujun couldn't believe it when he asked the boy beside him with a dark face.

"I don't know, but it should have been a while." The servant was clever enough not to tell Li Chujun that he saw Murong Jing feeding Chu Lingyue just now.Li Chujun was a little annoyed, and glanced at the direction Chu Lingyue and Murong Jing left. The two of them hadn't gone far, and they were buying candied haws on the side of the road.When Chu Lingyue got the candied haws, she didn't eat it right away, but handed it to Murong Jing first. After Murong Jing ate the first one, she took it away and ate the rest by herself with a smile.

The behavior between the two was too sweet, Li Chujun's hand holding the tea bowl trembled a little, and finally the tea bowl shattered all over the ground under his fury.

"Your Highness, do you want to..." The servant looked at the fragments on the ground hesitantly, and then asked in a low voice.Li Chujun shook his head, suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered Xiao Er to come up for a cup of tea.

The little second hand quickly came up to change the teacup, and then went down silently.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and when Chu Lingyue came out to enjoy the lanterns, Lu Mingmei would naturally not be idle at home.Because of Sun Qionghe's troubles years ago, Liuliyuan was looked at by people whose eyes were not eyes and noses were not noses.Therefore, Lu Mingmei was also aggrieved.Today is the Lantern Festival, and finally had a day to go out, so I quickly told Sun Qionghe, and I came out with Danwu.

When passing by Wangjiang Tower, she happened to see Murong Jing flying to catch the Chang'e lantern.Originally, she planned to follow along to see if Chu Lingyue would make a fool of herself, so that she could catch something, but she happened to see half of Li Chujun sticking out downstairs.

"Dan Wu, there's a tea house in front, let's go and have a cup of tea." Lu Mingmei rolled her eyes, then pulled Dan Wu and walked in.The lobby was already filled with all kinds of diners. After shopping in the middle of the night, everyone was hungry and thirsty. They rested here, drank tea and had snacks. Seeing that she was dressed like a lady, Xiao Er hurriedly took her to the second floor.

When passing by Li Chujun's private room, Lu Mingmei stopped, "Thank you brother, the guest in this room is a friend of mine, so I'll be fine here."

Xiao Er looked her up and down, saw that she really didn't look like some dubious woman, and then let her in.The sound of the door opening made Li Chujun raise his head. Seeing that it was her, he continued to drink tea by the window angrily.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, why doesn't Your Highness go down to enjoy the lanterns, but drink tea here alone?" Lu Mingmei just pretended not to see the impatience in his eyes, sat down with a smile, and continued the conversation with Li Chujun very considerately. tea.

"What's none of your business?" Lu Mingmei was just a concubine, and Li Chujun was angry, so of course he wouldn't try to please her. Li Chujun was extremely impatient to see her so annoying.
