Chapter 20 Lantern Festival

There were many literati and writers who wrote poems to praise the Lantern Festival in the national capital, and one of them reads:

The fire tree and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.

The dark dust goes with the horse, and the bright moon comes one by one.

Wanderers? Li, the song is full of plums.

Jin Wu can't help the night, and the jade leak is not urging.

Compared to the mood of the literati and inkmen, Bai Rui only had one idea now, he reached out and grabbed Song Weiyan's hand tightly, refusing to let go, he was afraid that the last time he was lost on the street would happen again.

tried to break free a few times, and finally Song Weiyan said to Bai Rui: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are like this, the minister is not good at eating melon seeds." ”

"Oh, oh, oh. Good, good, good. When Bai Rui heard this, he immediately let go of the hand that was holding Song Weiyan tightly, and then grabbed the corner of Song Weiyan's clothes instead.

Anyway, he just wants to catch Lord Tianxiang and never let go.

The little Bai Rui is not very tall, and now the street is full of people and lively, Bai Rui can only see the thighs of the people around him, and the bluestone slabs under his feet.

After making sure that he would not get lost with Lord Tianxiang, Bai Rui now has more ideas, he wants to see the lantern festival here, but he can't see it, this really makes Bai Rui a little distressed.

For Bai Rui, all kinds of folk things are a great attraction, which explains why the royal family in the palace yearns for the life of the people, the reason is actually very simple, thinking that they have not seen it.

Today is the Lantern Festival, in fact, compared to the previous Lantern Festival, this year's Lantern Festival has a lot of differences, many of the original residents of the national capital, will be sent out in batches tomorrow, so that there will be more people on the street, not just a simple Lantern Festival, but the last time before parting.

Walking and walking, Song Weiyan took Bai Rui to a small stall, sat down, and said, "Boss, come to two bowls of Lantern Festival." ”

"Lord Tianxiang, why are there still people selling Lantern Festival now?" Bai Rui sat down and asked, still holding the corner of Song Weiyan's clothes tightly in his hand.

"At this shop, every time you arrive at the Lantern Festival, you can eat rice balls. The fillings and soups are different, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will like them. Song Weiyan took the two pairs of chopsticks on the table, then washed them with hot water, took a pair to Bai Rui, and chuckled, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continues to hold on to the corners of the minister's clothes like this, I'm afraid that the minister's clothes will be broken, and when the time comes to return to the house, the old housekeeper will blame the minister again." ”

"This and this" After Bai Rui heard this, his little face turned red, knowing that what Lord Tianxiang said was right, but he really didn't want to let go of his hand.

Just when Bai Rui was so entangled, the store had already cooked the Lantern Festival and put it on the table.

The egg-sized Lantern Festival floats in the rose-red soup, and the white Lantern Festival skin, sprinkled with fine spices, is scalded with hot water, exuding a fragrance that makes people feel appetizing.

"Taste it, this won't taste good when it's cold." Song Weiyan first took the chopsticks and bit down, and Song Weiyan gritted her teeth with the hot stuffing in the Lantern Festival.

Between the food and the heavenly phase, Bai Rui chose the heavenly phase, he didn't know how he returned to the Tianxiang Mansion, he was supposed to be on Chen Yu's carriage, struggling to get off, but when he woke up, he returned to the familiar room and saw Lord Tianxiang sitting on the side knocking melon seeds, and the old housekeeper wiped tears on the side for the injury on his palm.

Like a dream, Barry thought so. It's really good to be back with Tianxiang. It was so good that Bai Rui felt that as soon as he let go, Lord Tianxiang would leave.

After eating the Lantern Festival, Song Weiyan saw that the Lantern Festival in front of Bai Rui did not move.

The egg-sized Lantern Festival floats in the rose-red soup, and the white Lantern Festival skin, sprinkled with fine spices, is scalded with hot water, exuding a fragrance that makes people feel appetizing.

The Lantern Festival was slowly getting colder, Bai Rui didn't touch the bowl of Lantern Festival, and kept holding on to the corners of Song Weiyan's clothes and didn't let go.

It's still in the fragrant Lantern Festival, but no one uses it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister wants to see where you have lived during this time." Song Weiyan suddenly spoke.

"I didn't live anywhere!" Bai Rui said subconsciously.

"The minister thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusted the minister, and the minister didn't want to go and do it so quickly. It's just that the minister really can't wait. Song Weiyan said.

Subconsciously shaking his head, Bai Rui pursed his mouth tightly, not daring to say a word, he didn't know why, his heart was telling him, don't say it. Don't say it.

Time wanted to stand still now, Bai Rui, who was sitting on the small bunk, still grabbed the corners of Song Weiyan's clothes with his fingers, refusing to let go, and his biting lips turned white.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to say it, the minister will not be demanding." Song Weiyan broke the deadlock first, said lightly, tidied up the corners of her clothes, and looked at the direction of the moat, "Now should be the time to put out the lanterns, His Royal Highness the Prince, do you intend to go with the ministers to have a look?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Rui agreed, and followed Song Weiyan to the place of the moat.

The egg-sized Lantern Festival floats in the rose-red soup, and the white Lantern Festival skin, sprinkled with fine spices, is scalded with hot water, exuding a fragrance that makes people feel appetizing.

Now, the heat has slowly dissipated, and no one is moving the originally attractive Lantern Festival.

Next to the moat is a willow tree with a rope tied between the willows, and red lanterns are hung on it, and at night the lanterns are lit up to make it a beautiful sight.

A little warm candlelight, as if it is the Milky Way in the sky.

On the banks of the moat are many men and women with lanterns, ladies in pairs, groups of young men, and men and women who fall in love at first sight

Someone once wrote a poem: When the moon was full last year, the lanterns were as bright as day; The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. When the moon is full this year, the moon and the lights are still the same; I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt. It is said that the Lantern Festival secretly promised for life, and finally had to separate, and when the old place was revisited, the sorrow hit my heart again.

Holding the carp lantern bought by Lord Tianxiang, Bai Rui still grabbed the corner of Song Weiyan's clothes tightly. Occasionally looking up, Bai Rui saw the perfect profile of Lord Tianxiang, and his heart was a little turbulent. He was struggling with whether he should say it or not, but Bai Rui had no answer.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you know? The whole Dayan needs different people to come. Song Weiyan pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "The whole Dayan needs a new, different person, this person, it won't be you." It won't be you who are just holding a big Yan prince. ”

Bai Rui, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, looked at Song Weiyan.
