Like the Chinese Valentine's Day, the annual Shangyuan Festival is also a day that girls look forward to. On that day, you can meet up with a few friends to enjoy the lanterns, or go on a moonlit date with your loved one. It is a rare opportunity to have fun and have fun.

"I should go out to play with my sister or friends." Lin Haoxiao asked Qi Shuo, "Where is the prince?"

"Maybe I'll go out for a walk with my second brother and the others." Qi Shuo looked at the girl's delicate profile and didn't say the words of invitation.

He regrets it very much.

He regretted his timidity and never told the mute girl that he always wanted to see her.

See her occasionally sitting in a tree in a daze, see her silently listening to people talking and laughing, see her staring at people thoughtfully.

She seems to have many secrets, which she keeps inside because she cannot speak.

When she was gone, he realized that the feeling he wanted to see was that he liked her.

He is fond of the girl next door across the wall.

There is no one more stupid than him.

Fortunately, they met again.

The moment the sword penetrated his heart, he hugged her and felt nothing but joy.

He is so lucky to have his great revenge and be able to be with the girl he loves forever.

I didn't expect something even luckier.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw her bright face emerging from the wall, he fell down in panic.

The pain and blood seemed to be just a long nightmare, and he and she were still living in their best years.

This time, he didn't turn a blind eye and walk away just for the sake of her reputation.

He caught her.

It's a pity that when he mustered up the courage to persuade his mother and concubine to propose marriage to the Wen family, he was still rejected.

He was too impatient.

Even if he is of good birth and good looks in the eyes of the world, if she doesn't like him, she won't agree.

He could only let her get acquainted with him and understand him without leaving any trace, and then express his feelings when he was sure.

"What is the prince thinking?"

Qi Shuo came back to his senses, his eyes a little dazed: "Suddenly I remembered that during the Lantern Festival last year, many people participated in the Dengshan riddle, but no one got the glazed lantern."

"No one guessed it?"

There is a tradition during the Shangyuan Festival in the capital that officials will build a nine-story lantern mountain, with a lantern hung at the four corners of each floor until the most beautiful glazed lantern is hung in the center of the ninth floor.

The difficulty of the puzzles increases with the height of the lantern mountain. People who participate in guessing have only one chance to challenge the lantern riddles on any level. If they guess correctly, they can get the lantern.

The top glazed lantern is a palace lantern. According to unwritten rules, only unmarried men can challenge this puzzle. If they guess correctly, they must give the lantern to a woman.

Needless to say, if you have a significant other, if not, it is also a good opportunity to express your feelings implicitly. Palace lanterns represent joy and blessing, and women will accept them even if they don’t intend to. Even if they reject the man later, they will not cause gossip.

In days like the Shangyuan Dynasty, people were much more tolerant of young men and women who were just starting to fall in love.

Men who can guess the most difficult lantern riddle are all talented people. Since the beginning of this tradition, men who give lanterns have been blessed with beautiful women, which has added a lot of good stories to the Lantern Festival.

Lin Hao really liked watching this game, but because General Lin passed away from illness, he didn't go out to play during the Lantern Festival last year or the year before last, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to it.

"No one guessed it until the lantern festival was over." Qi Shuo said interesting things about last year's Lantern Festival, and her home was about to arrive.

"Your Majesty, let's separate here first," Lin Hao suggested.

We are neighbors, so it’s not a big deal if we happen to meet up and go back together. Dressing up in men’s clothing and walking together makes people wonder if they are doing something bad.

"Then Miss Lin, let's go first."

Lin Hao nodded slightly and walked towards the general's mansion.

Qi Shuo stood there and watched the figure disappear around the corner, and began to look forward to the arrival of the Lantern Festival.

"Brother, why are you standing here so still?" Qi Huan came over and looked at Qi Shuo in confusion, then suddenly turned pale with fright, "Brother, you don't have a heart attack, right?"

Heart disease?

Qi Shuo twitched the corners of his mouth.

I almost forgot that he had a "heart disease".

"Don't think blindly, I just saw that the scenery here is pretty, so I stopped and took a look."

"Scenery?" Qi Huan looked around and was confused, "They are all bare walls, there is no scenery."

"Where are you from?" Qi Shuo changed the subject.

Qi Huan said as he walked: "I made an appointment with my friends to eat the mutton pot recommended by my brother that time."

Speaking of this, Qi Huan was a little angry: "I originally made an appointment with my little sister that day, but she went to eat with her friends and asked me to change places."

The eldest brother eats with his friends, the younger sister eats with his friends, what kind of friends are more important than him?

He also went to eat with his friends!

Qi Shuo smiled: "It's more fun to eat pot with friends."

Qi Huan couldn't help but nodded as he thought about the scene of him and a few friends enjoying hot pot: "That's right. Hey, what is the big brother carrying in his hand?"

Qi Shuo lowered his eyes and looked at the small brown jar in his hand: "Pickles given by a friend."

Qi Huan's eyes lit up: "Is it delicious? Is it delicious?"

"Pickled garlic, do you want to eat it?"

Qi Huan lost interest after hearing this: "Pickled garlic? Forget it, it tastes good. Brother, why do you like to eat this?"

His cold, quiet, sickly eldest brother actually likes to eat garlic?

Qi Huan looked at his brother with an inquiring look.

Could it be that you were influenced by any of your friends?

"Always like it." Qi Shuo said lightly.

The Lantern Festival was approaching soon, and Lin Hao received two posts, one from the young princess Qi Qiong, and one from the eldest daughter of the Huai'an Prefecture, Chen Yi, both of whom invited her to play with them on the Lantern Festival.

Lin Hao asked Lin Chan to discuss: "How many posts did eldest sister receive?"

Lin Chan smiled and said: "I only received it from the princess, but I still took advantage of my sister."

Engaged men and women can date openly and openly on the Lantern Festival, and friends will recognize the interest and stop inviting each other. The little princess is considered a common friend of Lin Hao and her sisters, so of course it is not good to just date Lin Hao.

"Then let's go with the princess."

Lin Chan shook her head and refused: "I won't go. The princess and Miss Chen are both good-tempered people. It's better for the second sister to invite them to go together."

It is true that a man and a woman who are engaged can go on a date, but the status of the king of Wei is different, and the two are not in love, so the date is naturally not possible.

"Sister, go ahead. You didn't go in the past two years," Lin Hao advised.

"I don't like liveliness in the first place. Besides, I'm marrying the Tian family after all, so I won't go to crowded places." Lin Chan looked at her sister and blinked, "Second sister, have fun with your friends. I'll accompany you next year."

Maybe it’s not a handkerchief.”

Lin Hao has turned seventeen this year, and the marriage is almost settled.

"Sister, if you don't want to go, you won't go, and you still want to make fun of me."

The two sisters started talking and laughing.

What surprised Lin was that before she could invite Qi Qiong and Chen Yi together, Qi Qiong came to see her.
