Chapter 12: The Upper Yuan Festival (I)
Fireworks burst out in the sky above the streets of Eupong at night, and under the bright moonlight and the lights on both sides of the street, the streets of Eupong at night become extremely gorgeous and prosperous, especially the layers of colorful lights hanging on the Yuehe Tower, which are very beautiful. There are also all kinds of street performers, performing on the streets, and a large number of people are gathered everywhere, making the already crowded streets of Yicheng even more impassable.
Xiang Hongxuan's first night tour of Yicheng on the Shangyuan Festival, he didn't expect that the Yicheng on the Shangyuan Festival would be so noisy, it can be seen that at least under his rule, the Dongyu Kingdom and the people are safe, for which emperor, this is a matter of gold on the face, Xiang Hongxuan's face also hung a smug smile, and Xiang Hongxi did not lie, the streets are full of young ladies of the Yicheng family, all kinds of beauties around the fat and thin, in the evening breeze of the Shangyuan Festival, it is a particularly beautiful scenery.
Suddenly, Xiang Hongxuan stopped on the side of the street, he looked at the lanterns hanging on the side of the street, just a woman who looked like a young lady from a family, after writing something on the lanterns, he left in a hurry. Xiang Hongxuan was interested, he strode towards the lantern, took out the riddle paper in the lantern, and opened it to take a look.
"The swan flies away and the bird does not return, the eyes are relatively from the heart, Hu Tian does not fly in August, the white grass folds at the intersection of the mountain loop, the inch light is not the same as the four o'clock, and the sky and leaves are sent to the king, and the night is three horizontal, and the horn bow is empty and the horse is leaving." Xiang Hongxuan muttered in his mouth, with a shallow smile on his face.
"Dongyu is really a country that breeds love, and the ladies of the family are so subtle." After speaking, he handed the mystery paper to Xiang Hongxi's hand.
Xiang Hongxi looked at it, and couldn't help but feel interesting in his heart, this young lady of the family is really knowledgeable, I don't know which family's son she fell into, and made such a riddle that is quite difficult to guess, and she confessed it on the Shangyuan Festival, it seems that Xiang Hongxuan saw the riddle, Xiang Hongxi's eyes rolled, and his hands were spread.
"Brother Huang, what is this, I don't understand."
Xiang Hongxuan smiled proudly, he took the riddle paper in Xiang Hongxi's hand, and said slowly: "The goose word went to the bird is my word, the front eye in the eyes is wood, and then add a heart, isn't it a want word, Hu Tian went to the eight and moon in the word, that's not the ancient two, together it is a present, it is also a homophonic word, the mountain loop intersection is the cross, the grass is the wood word, together it is not, it is also homophonic for, the inch and the temple are different, remove the Japanese word and the day and the earth, the sun and the earth are inside, that is, the homonym you, The leaves naturally refer to the soil, the leaf homophony is also, group together, that is, the ground, that is, the homophony, the autumn word to take a vertical heart side, in the night to take a high word and a single person next to one, that is, vertical and then add three horizontal for the only, that is, homophonic only, and finally the horse and the bow are similar, only one more, and one in the horse's foot, the horse line also hints at a word, these homophonic words together is I want to be your only. ”
Xiang Hongxi hurriedly clapped his hands and praised, to be honest, this mystery is really difficult, but it really didn't stump him Xiang Hongxi, but in front of Xiang Hongxuan, Xiang Hongxi, who was used to hiding clumsy, couldn't help but play the role of a stupid prince, anyway, Xiang Hongxuan also thought that he was a waste prince, if he really said the riddle, it was estimated that it would be abnormal.
Xiang Hongxuan picked up the pen and lamp paper on the side, wrote down a line of words freely, and Xiang Hongxi walked in to take a look.
"How light is the breeze?" Xiang Hongxi read softly, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart, his imperial brother is too bad.
"Brother Huang, you're not a riddle, it's like a pair." Xiang Hongxi pretended to be stupid and said.
Xiang Hongxuan's face suddenly had a strange smile, and soon he put the riddle paper in a lantern next to him.
"Let's go, let's go to the Yuehe Tower next to us and sit down, and see which young lady can match my pair."
...........................................................................................................................................................
Ling Xi and Ginkgo shuttled through the lively crowd in Yicheng, Ling Xi also looked east and west from time to time, although it was not the first time to visit this Shangyuan Festival, but every time he followed the Pingyuan Hou Mansion and a big family to travel, Ling Xi couldn't get off the carriage at all, and generally had to go back to the Hou Mansion after a small meeting.
Today, I finally staggered the family of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and she dressed as a man just enough to take a good look at this Shangyuan Festival, and she could also meet Ye Muzhi, Ling Xi, who felt happy when she thought about it, strolled on this crowded street.
On a whim, Ling Xi saw the rows of lantern riddles on the street, she picked one up, opened it, and said angrily: "Dengzi, this is a complete Dengzi." ”
Ginkgo glanced at the riddle paper in Ling Xi's hand, she didn't know how Ling Xi could be so atmospheric.
"What's wrong, Miss, it's just a breeze or something, it doesn't seem to be anything." Ginkgo asked puzzled.
"Shangyuan Festival, this kind of beautiful scenery of talented and beautiful people meeting, this disciple said a breeze, this is to ask all the ladies of the family who traveled today, in this breeze, the hearts of the young ladies can be touched by how light. is so frivolous, at first glance he looks like a swinger. After speaking, Ling Xi picked up the pen and also wrote a line of words on the puzzle paper.
Xiang Hongxuan, who was still eating tea in Yuehe Tower, saw a young man in white standing in front of his lantern at a glance, and it seemed that he wanted to return his pair. Xiang Hongxuan came to the spirit, I wanted to see which lady came to flirt with him, but I didn't think of a weak young man, things seemed to be more interesting, Xiang Hongxuan strode out of Yuehe Tower, Xiang Hongxi didn't react, Xiang Hongxuan had already walked to Ling Xi's side.
"Brother Tai, this pair seems to be a scholar for you, it's not suitable."
Xiang Hongxuan walked behind Ling Xi silently. Ling Xi was startled, and quickly picked up the folding fan to cover her face, she pretended to be calm and turned around quickly, and took a few steps back in a little panic.
"Brother Tai said this very interestingly, is it true that Brother Tai's pair is still a good person?"
Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi in front of him, Ling Xi's figure was too petite, it had just reached his chin, and Xiang Hongxuan smelled Ling Xi's fat powder smell from afar, could this be a young lady dressed as a man and traveled to the Yuan Festival at night, Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help muttering in his heart. Xiang Hongxuan took out the riddle paper that Ling Xi put back the lantern, and he opened it to see, "How deep is the warm winter sun?" ”
Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help laughing, he wanted to ask the young lady's heart, how light the breeze could be stirred, but people asked him how much temperature the hands that stirred up the breeze could warm people's hearts. originally planned to flirt with the beauty, but he didn't want to be teased by the beauty, so Xiang Hongxuan was rude to eat this season.
Suddenly, he strode in front of Ling Xi, leaned over, and almost got close to Ling Xi's face, Ling Xi was a little frightened by Xiang Hongxuan's frivolous move, and staggered back many steps in a row.
Xiang Hongxuan really guessed correctly, the young man in front of him was a girl, he just leaned over, and the distance was so close that he could see clearly that Ling Xi had pierced ears, and it was obvious that Ling Xi was a naughty young lady from a family.
"Brother Tai, this pair, it's really strange, when does the breeze move, what does it have to do with the warm sun?"
"Brother Tai said this strangely, the heart is not moving, is the wind blowing?" Not to be outdone, Ling Xi replied.
Xiang Hongxuan smiled bitterly, and was speechless by Ling Xi, he carefully looked at Ling Xi in front of him, although Ling Xi covered her face with a fan, but she had a pair of almond eyes, and there was some cunning in her agility, which made people can't help but think about what the face under the paper fan looks like.
At this time, Xiang Hongxi also walked to Xiang Hongxuan's side, and he glanced at the mystery paper in Xiang Hongxuan's hand, and he was absolutely stunned. It is estimated that Xiang Hongxuan is eating deflated, this is a rare spectacle, Xiang Hongxuan may not have been so scolded in his life, and he is speechless.
"Brother Tai is so strange, why do you look like a big girl, and cover your face with a paper fan when you go out." Xiang Hongxuan asked Ling Xi with bad intentions, Xiang Hongxi also felt strange when he heard it, he also glanced at Ling Xi, so he really looked like a girl.
Ling Xi heard Xiang Hongxuan's words, instinctively took a few steps back, she suppressed her voice, "I was infected with a cold a few days ago, and I was afraid that it would be passed on to my brother, so I would cover my face with a fan. After saying that, Ling Xi turned around and wanted to leave with Ginkgo,
Xiang Hongxuan walked in front of Ling Xi with a strong step, blocking her way, "Brother Tai is so literate, just now my pair is not neat, and Brother Tai is not very happy, it is better for me to compete with Brother Tai, just compare the lantern riddles on the street, you and I will guess the riddles from the east and west directions, whoever is the first to guess the riddles on a street and return to the Yuehe Tower with the riddle paper, who is the winner." ”
Ling Xi understands that this noble son is afraid that his self-esteem has been hurt by her pair just now, so he will compete with her to find face and come back.
Ling Xi didn't have time to accompany Xiang Hongxuan to guess the riddle, she still had to rush to Mochiyue Lake to see her Ye Muzhi. However, seeing that Xiang Hongxuan is a difficult master, if he refuses directly, it is estimated that this goods will not be relenting, and Xiang Hongxuan will be as rude as just now, but she will suffer, anyway, she is a prodigal disciple, so play him again.
"It's okay, but the game has to have a lottery, and whoever becomes the final winner has to invite the other party to eat a full meal on the Yuehe Tower."
"It's a deal." Xiang Hongxuan said confidently.
Ling Xi and Ginkgo strode to the side of the street, and suddenly she stopped, turned around and looked back at Hongxuan, who was still standing there stupidly.
"Miss, we really have to compete with this noble boy to guess the riddle." Ginkgo asked puzzled.
"The ghost is playing with him, don't say so, this boy is afraid that he can pester us until dawn, let's go, let that fool guess the riddle slowly."
Xiang Hongxuan, who was at the end, saw Ling Xi stop and turn around, with a smug smile on his face, I am afraid that this little girl was also amazed by her talent, and said with some pride: "I am reluctant to look back like this, are you afraid of losing your talent, or are you afraid of losing your heart?" I don't know which lady it is, she can't really see it with a folding fan to hide her face, but those eyes are so beautiful, she must be a beautiful woman. ”
Xiang Hongxi looked at Ling Xi who turned around and decided, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Ling Xi was standing there just now and laughing at them, there was no sweet atmosphere like a talented and beautiful woman looking at each other, but it was like a young lady who was eager to withdraw in front of the disciples, he looked at Xiang Hongxuan who was indulging in fantasy, sure enough, he had been in the palace for a long time with his imperial brother, and he was too confident.
Xiang Hongxuan riveted his efforts to guess the riddle of a street, he quickly returned to Yuehe Tower, looked up and down, and sure enough, he didn't see Ling Xi's back, he smiled with satisfaction, found a seat where he could see the entrance of Yuehe Tower, and waited for Ling Xi with peace of mind.
But after waiting for an hour, he still didn't see Ling Xi's figure, Xiang Hongxuan was a little anxious, he began to pace at the door of Yuehe Tower, thinking that Ling Xi hadn't come back yet, could it be that the riddle on her street was too difficult?
Xiang Hongxuan waved his hand, and several plainclothes guards walked up to him, "You go to the street in front of you, and when you see the white-clothed young man just now, take it directly to Yuehe Tower." ”
The guards quickly rushed to the crowd, Xiang Hongxi looked at Xiang Hongxuan, who was still anxious, and carefully comforted: "The little girl's family must not be able to guess so many riddles, maybe she is in front of a mysterious lamp, in a hurry." ”
Xiang Hongxuan didn't have the heart to listen to Xiang Hongxi's words at all, he faintly felt that he might have been teased by Ling Xi, and his face gradually became a little bad. After a while, the plainclothes guards all returned, but they still didn't see Ling Xi.
Ling Xi disappeared from his eyes like this, he didn't expect that this little girl didn't plan to guess riddles with him at all, the so-called color head was just a method for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, and he became a disciple in Ling Xi's eyes.
Xiang Hongxuan looked at the lively crowd on the street, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find Ling Xi in the crowd, he can't be angry when he eats, and he can't be angry when he is played, but the angry thing is that he Xiang Hongxuan didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't even see his appearance clearly, he was a little aggrieved when he thought about it, Xiang Hongxuan didn't say a word, and walked towards the imperial city.
