Chapter 157: Lantern Festival (2)
Jin Xia jumped up happily, walked to the window and opened it.
The bright and beautiful white snow covered the whole yard with a white silver glow, and large and small lanterns were hung on the silver branches all over the yard.
On the rockery, the plum branches seemed to be covered with colorful gems, each one flashing with bright light. Bamboo poles were set up in the open space and ropes were held up, and strings of lanterns were hung at different heights.
Looking from the window, the warm winter sun shines in, like a colorful painting.
Ye Qing stood at the door of the room with a smile and said respectfully: "Princess, today is the Lantern Festival. The prince said that he would take you out to enjoy the lanterns at night, so his subordinates made the decision and asked them to hang up these lanterns. The princess will rest first and wait until she feels better.
, it’s never too late to look at it.”[
Panpan felt a little touched, and she thought to herself that Yu She was really a gentle and understanding man.
She looked at it for a while, then suddenly remembered that he went out alone this morning and left her alone in the room, and said in a half-hearted voice: "Close the window, it's a bit cold when the wind blows in."
Yushe heard Panpan's voice in the yard and thought that she might be concerned about him. A smile suddenly appeared on his face. Seeing that the window was closed, he walked to a lamp and read aloud: "A little girl,
Sitting in the middle of the water, wearing a pink coat and a green silk skirt, she looks so beautiful. Pick a flower! Whoever guesses correctly will get a new coin! Can the girls in the house guess it?"
Jin Xia's eyes shone, and she looked back at Panpan with a look of excitement.
During the Lantern Festival, they could have gone out to enjoy the lanterns, but Panpan knew that they didn't go because they wanted to serve her. She slept all night and was still awake, so she nodded with a smile.
Jin Xia clapped her hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's a lotus!"
"Clever!" Yushe praised and continued, "A round red jar with a round lid, filled with sweet honey water. Guess a kind of fruit. Whoever guesses is still the right one.
Give me a new coin!"
This time it was Qing'er who clapped her hands and answered with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's a persimmon!"
Panpan looked back and saw that Qing'er and Lonicera were both up, with smiles on their faces.
Yu She praised again and continued to read the lantern riddles. He hoped that Panpan had not studied much, so the lantern riddles he made were very simple. After a while, several maids, including Liandong, joined in the riddles.
