Gift of Lamps

The streets are really crowded, but also very interesting.

There are gorgeous lights and candles, and hundreds of opera displays.

In "Liyuan Opera", Chen San and Wu Niang met under the lantern and fell in love at first sight.

Therefore, on the Lantern Festival, even those girls who usually stay at home will go to the lantern festival at night. If they are lucky, they may find a good marriage.

Tonight, men and women who are engaged can go shopping with lanterns and guess riddles together. The elders of both parties are also particularly gracious.

"Yanyan, can I lead you?"

"This is inappropriate."

"Then let me hold you. You and I are going to get married, so this is not considered frivolous."

On the right front, Shen Hua heard the movement and craned her neck to look over.

In Cui Yun's sight, the girl's neck was slender, white and fragile. She seemed to be afraid of the cold, and after a while, she shrank back. After looking at it intently for a long time, she still didn't forget the maid behind her, and whispered.

"Look, you bastard."

Afraid of ignoring Cui Yun, Shen Hua was still very considerate and did not forget to ask Cui Yun for her opinion with a serious face.

"What do you think, Mr. Hou?"

Simply outrageous.

After compromising once, the second and third times seem to be less difficult to accept.

Cui Yun didn't urge Shen Hua either. His voice was cold and low.

"Being in love but not polite, even couples on the street should not be overly intimate. This is not what a gentleman would do, it should be done in moderation."

Shen Hua nodded in agreement. Then she turned to Yi Cui and said, "I just saw two men holding each other's arms. I suspect they have broken sleeves."

Cui Yun:……

Shen Hua still didn't forget Cui Yun. She raised her hand and nodded in a polite way.

"Look, it's right there, doesn't it look like it?"

Cui Yun narrowed his eyes with unclear meaning.

He didn't know whether they looked like Duan Xiu or not, but he knew those two people.

The next moment, Ji He, who was in the front right, also spotted Cui Yun and started waving vigorously and shouting.

"Cui Yun!"

"Sister Shen! Why are you here too!"

As he spoke, Ji He pulled the man next to him and squeezed through the crowd.

Cui Yun looked at Shen Hua.

"This is what you said..."

Shen Hua interrupted: "I'm not, I didn't!"

Ji He came over and heard the conversation between the two, and was very curious: "What were you talking about?"

Cui Yun looked at the girl with a faint smile: "Say you..."

Shen Huawei continued to interrupt.

"Today's moon is really big and round! It looks like the cold melons I stole from the watermelon patch."

Cui Yun raised her thin lips slightly.

Ji He was a little surprised, but he believed it.

"You even stole a cold melon!"

Shen Hua pursed her lips and stopped talking.

She would never admit that when she was stealing the cold melon, she panicked and fell down while running away. She chipped a front tooth, which made Shen Zhi laugh all the time.

If it hadn't been for the teeth growing back later, she probably wouldn't have talked much in her life.

Cui Yun's eyes fell on the man next to Ji He. It was the third prince Ji Ji who had returned to the court after being a hostage for many years.

Cui Yun was not surprised to see the two princes here.

On the Lantern Festival in the palace, the two unpopular princes are indeed dispensable.

He could ignore Ji He, but he would not ignore Ji Qi, who had suffered for thirteen years.

Cui Yun was about to hand over his hand.

Ji Li panicked and subconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes.

Ji He had never revealed his identity in front of Shen Hua. He was afraid that Ji Li would be cautious, so he just said.

"No need to worry about etiquette."

"Sister Shen, this is my third brother."

Ji He: "My third brother doesn't like to talk, so please bear with me."

Shen Hua looked over.

Ji Li was very thin, with a sallow complexion. He was a head shorter than Ji He. If Ji He hadn't said he was his third brother, Shen Hua would have thought that he was a servant bought by Ji He out of kindness.

No wonder Ji He mentioned his third brother as pitiful many times.

The fabric on her body is also outdated and even... doesn't fit.

He didn't like to talk. Ji Li looked pitiful just standing there. It was as if a villain would appear from the crowd at any time and whip him with a whip.

Cui Yun had no doubt that if he had to choose another prince to hand over as a hostage, Emperor Jie would choose Ji Li without hesitation. Only at this time would he remember that he still had such a prince.

Also, an abandoned son is an abandoned son, and he cannot escape his life without paying the price even if he comes back.

But who still remembers that when Ji Li was first born, Emperor Jie was overjoyed. He didn't hug the prince or the fourth prince when they were born, but he hugged Ji Li.

At that time, Ji Li's biological mother, Concubine Shao, was favored so much that the entire harem was fearful.

But in the blink of an eye, he was so ruthless that he personally wiped out Concubine Shao's entire mother clan.

This is the emperor who is hypocritical.

Ji Li whispered: "Seventh brother, I want to go back."

"We've just arrived. We haven't used our dinner yet. Will those bastards in your house leave food for you?"

Ji Li was so helpless that she almost cried.

"But...but I..."

Ji He pointed at Cui Yun: "This is the Marquis of Yangling Marquis Mansion. Third brother also met him not long ago. He seemed difficult to get along with, but he is quite a nice person."

Ji He: "He is so generous. He also said that he would invite the third brother to have dinner at Yixiantian Restaurant! Cui Yun, do you think so?"

Shen Hua:……

Even if Mount Tai collapsed, Cui Yun would remain unchanged.

Hearing this, he just rubbed the Rudraksha bracelet on his wrist.

Ji Li: "How embarrassing is this?"

Cui Yun smiled lightly: "It's a happy event that Third Young Master is back. I should be there to help you, but I'm burdened with so many chores. I wonder if you'll be free tomorrow?"

Ji He knows Cui Yun's virtue best.

His mouth can sometimes be irritating, but sometimes it can be comprehensive.

But this is just a scene. Ji Li is really timid, not to mention Cui Yun has many problems. Why bother to have an awkward meal together?

What's more, he also achieved his goal.

"No, no, no, third brother and I are going to the restaurant now and will charge it to your account later. It's the same thing."

Cui Yun smiled lightly: "That's it, Wei Zhen won't force it. Third Young Master and Seven Young Master, please go slowly."

Ji He succeeded and pulled Ji Li away intimately.

Ji Li: "How does this make it happen? I heard that dining at Yixiantian Restaurant is expensive."

Ji He: "Don't be polite to him, I just like to get some bargains from him. I won't agree to go to a cheap restaurant."

Shen Hua: ...As long as you speak softly, I won't think you are shameless.

But Cui Yun's expression remained unchanged and he was calm. Even his voice was neither urgent nor slow, and his tone was just right: "Let's go."

Shen Hua: "Okay."

"Madam, look at the lanterns, they cost ten cents each." The vendor smiled brightly. There were many kinds of lanterns on the stall, which were novel and unique.

Shen Hua stopped.

She chose a rabbit-shaped lantern. It was small and delicate, and it was easy to carry it.
