The two casually bought two lanterns with exquisite workmanship in front of the few remaining stalls, a pink lotus and a black chrysanthemum. Then I borrowed pen and ink from the seller, filled in my wishes, and placed them in the West Lake, which is full of lanterns.

"What did you write?" Mu Aotian looked at the lanterns that went away with the flowing water, and asked sideways.

"May you be well." Bei Mingchen said solemnly, silent for a while, and asked rhetorically in Mu Aotian's tone, "What about you?" ”

She smiled, stood up, and winked at the man, "Don't you know the way, if it's a wish, if you say it, it won't work!" Immediately, when he saw the man, he was stunned, and his handsome face flashed with embarrassment and annoyance.

The man stood up abruptly and stumbled, "I, I'll write another one." He was about to turn around, but he was grabbed by a force at the corner of his clothes.

"I just didn't ask, and you didn't answer, that's it." She said, "Don't go and write, come with me to see the Oiran Contest, there is no time to delay." With that, he walked in the direction of the crowd.

Bei Mingchen followed the woman silently, his eyes swept over the lanterns on the lake without a trace, and he narrowed his eyes a little stunned.

The Oiran Contest was held at the entrance of an open-air Chu Pavilion, with several chairs and stools and a long table with the four treasures of the study. With a crisp gong sound, several judges appeared on the high platform.

After seeing the people above clearly, Mu Aotian smiled and looked at the man beside him with a strange look, "They are actually judges?" "The people in the words, needless to say, are the brothers of the Northern Underworld family.

"Perhaps." Bei Mingchen replied indifferently, his eyes affectionate and focused on the woman.

"There's still a seat." Mu Aotian stretched out his finger and pointed, "It should be yours." "But a small Oiran competition has also made a few princes come forward, which is really helpless.

Bei Mingchen looked in the direction Mu Aotian pointed, turned his head again, and said seriously: "It's not mine." To put it bluntly, it's just that he doesn't want to go up. He wants to be by the woman's side, even if it's a minute or a second.

"Really?" Mu Aotian looked suspicious, no one had gone up to the vacant seat for a long time, and he didn't need to guess much to know that the owner of the position was indeed the one beside him. But seeing that his expression was determined, he didn't want to go up, and he didn't say much.

Bailida and Hong Seventeen disappeared as early as when she took Bei Mingchen into the sea of people, and Xiao was swept away by the flow of people and did not follow. The southern night hidden in the shadows is gone, so I should be looking to protect the safety of those two.

A burst of silk and bamboo music sounded in my ears, and when I looked up, a group of women with colorful veils stepped on the round stage, and the audience thundered applause and cheers.

"These women all contain the daughter of the family?" When Mu Aotian suddenly sounded out of the house, Bailida muttered endless words in his mouth, and asked quietly biting his ear.

"Well, as long as the women participating in the Oiran are young ladies who have not left the cabinet, ordinary private women, or the top girls of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion can participate." He explained, "In this way, to attract the favor of men of extraordinary value, to find a wishful man." That's why the Oiran Contest is such a sensation.

Mu Aotian nodded knowingly, glanced thoughtfully at Bei Mingchen, and teased: "You are now twenty-three, right?" There should be a concubine in the house, right? For some reason, she was a little curious. Such a strange-tempered prince, what a woman who is willing to look at will look like.

Bei Mingchen looked at Mu Aotian deeply and pursed his lips: "No." There was a clear mixture of anger in his words. He has had someone on the top of his heart in the past ten years, how can he take a look at other women?

"Really?" Mu Aotian exclaimed in surprise, he is also a prince, if he is pure-hearted, it is really suspicious. Looking at Bei Mingchen's expression and firm gaze, she smiled vainly, and beat a drum in her heart: With his temperament, maybe it's really like this!

Mu Aotian turned his gaze to the round platform and casually changed the topic, "The girl on this stage is graceful, and the delicate face under the veil must be a sinking fish and a goose." ”

When Bei Mingchen heard this, he glanced lightly at the round platform, and spit out four words disdainfully, "Be coquettish." Then he lowered his head and looked at Mu Aotian with a serious face, his burning eyes seemed to convey such a message: You are the real Tianzi country.

Mu Aotian lowered his head silently, his erratic gaze seemed a little ashamed. For so many years, she has shown people in men's clothing, even if she occasionally wears women's clothing, she has never received a word of praise from others, which is also a big pity. Now there is such a handsome man, looking at her eagerly with such a serious demeanor, although there is no verbal praise, but it is enough to make people easily perceive.

After a moment, she feigned her composure and raised her head and smiled slyly, "Why don't I let you see the real Alluring Country?" Her tone was not lacking in pride, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at him earnestly, as if asking, as if asking.

Although Bei Mingchen didn't have the heart to look at other so-called beauties, he just looked at the woman's bright eyes, which made him nod his head. Since she wanted him to see it, why didn't he accept it?

Mu Aotian smiled happily, mysteriously attached to the man's ear, and said, "You wait, I'll let you feast your eyes later." Without waiting for the man to ask questions, he slipped out of the crowd and disappeared into the crowd.

The warm breath was vaguely rippling in his ears, and when Bei Mingchen came back to his senses, there was no trace of that shadow around him. Looking at the crowds of people around, I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart, and a touch of panic rose up. He was afraid that the woman would never come back, he was afraid of losing the woman, and he was afraid that he would never see that smile again.

The thousands of fears were clustered together, almost knotted. His eyebrows furrowed, his thin lips pursed, and his gaze pressed tightly on the round platform.

He thought: Since he wants him to see the country and the city, it is natural that he can really feast his eyes on the top of the round platform. As long as he kept an eye on the round platform, he would be able to see the woman.

Sure enough, when a melodious and quiet flute sounded, appearing on the round platform and suddenly taking away the brilliance of thousands of flowers, he held his breath, looked at the person with hot eyes with full attention, and his hand clenched into a fist trembled slightly, and it was difficult to hide the agitation in his heart.

The crowd in the market held their breath for a moment, looking at the enchanting figure on the round platform in amazement, as if they had never seen a woman who could win such a beautiful and peerless generation.

Even the princes on the round platform as judges couldn't help but stand up, staring intently at the uninvited woman in the center of the round platform, as amazing as everyone else, and had doubts in their hearts.

Gu Hongguo, when did you have such a slim and peerless beauty?!
