Chapter 35: Remembering the Monarch's Return
The lantern street of the Tangram Festival in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty is the most prosperous place in the Qinglong Empire, with all kinds of lantern riddles, masks, or lotus lanterns, this street is also a place where men and women fall in love.
"Guest officer, do you want a mask?"
"Nope."
A few people walked to the most densely populated place, which was the place set up by the Qinglong Imperial Court to guess lantern riddles, with three floors inside and three layers full of people.
"If you guess right, you can get a gift from the lantern."
Inside the shop, the principal looked at the young people from all sides with a smile.
"If only I could match that one." The shopkeeper pointed to the largest one hanging at the top, he touched his beard and said with a smile: "You can get a box of ice heart drunk moon cakes from the human race." β
As soon as the shopkeeper spoke, everyone looked in the direction of their fingers, and sure enough, the lantern was much larger than usual.
"Ice heart drunk moon cakes! That's what the queen of the Great Zhou Chef did, once it was made, the mainland scrambled! β
"Look at this way, I don't know where I got the recipe, just do it."
"Although it is an imitation, the taste is definitely better than ordinary mooncakes!"
"Well, I'm going to try."
Seeing that everyone was eager to try, the principal touched his beard and smiled, and said, "Only those who answer ten lantern riddles are eligible to take the lantern!" β
When the words fell, all the people in the audience with ink poured inside.
"Ice drunk?"
A long-haired white-clothed man with a mask said in a faint female voice: "His Royal Highness's favorite mooncake to eat on the Midyear Festival back then, hey, I'll try it too, and see how it tastes." β
Su Fenglin shook his fan, looked at the largest lantern, and then looked at the two eager girls, and said softly: "You can go if you want, but you must take down that lantern." β
"Hey!" Wan'er and Xiu'er glanced at each other, and quickly nodded: "Yes, Childe." β
Seeing the two girls entering, Su Fenglin asked Long Reverse Scale: "Your Highness the Ninth wants to go in and guess the lantern riddle?" β
"Hmm-" Long Reverse Scales thought for a moment, and nodded, "Then I'll go in with Mr. to have a look." β
...
"People in the dust grow old."
"The moon is always bright in the sky."
This is the fifteenth lantern riddle that Su Feng answered, she was not interested in competing for the biggest lantern, it was enough to have Wan'er and Xiu'er, and at the same time, she also glanced at Long Reverse Scale, who was checking with the examiner.
"Curling with snow"
"Silver Han Yang Jinhui"
"Your Highness is amazing!" Seeing that the dragon was correct, the examiner counted the number of questions answered correctly: "Your Highness, you can go and guess the last lantern." β
"Nope." Long Reverse Scale waved his hand, he also believed that Wan'er and Xiu'er would be able to come out on top.
Su Fenglin didn't see a lantern riddle that could stump people, so he lost interest.
"Mr. Sue."
"Your Highness."
"Mr. Su is really powerful, every time he gets the lantern, he can get the answer to the mystery by scanning his eyes, or he is really impressed by the upper and lower couplets."
"Where is it, isn't Your Highness the same as me? All answer fifteen? Su Fenglin said with a smile.
After speaking, he shook his fan and said to himself: "I don't know if Wan'er and Xiu'er got the lantern?" β
"Boom!"
A hammer strikes on the gong and drum.
"The biggest riddle has been revealed." I saw that everyone in the store was attracted by the sound of gongs and drums.
"What? Who can answer ten riddles so quickly? β
"It's impossible, the four great talents in the capital are still thinking about it, and someone will reveal the biggest puzzle?"
The people in the store were talking, waiting for the principal to announce it.
"Get the Ice Heart Drunk, Miss Shangguan Wan'er!"
The principal left the position to Shangguan Wan'er, and gave her the box of exquisite mooncakes in front of everyone.
"Shangguan Wan'er? Drunken Yuexuan, Miss Shangguan Wan'er? In this way, the show of Vientiane, Miss Shangguan Xiu'er is also there! β
"The right-hand man of Su Fenglin, the lord of Drunken Moon Xuanxuan, we can't fight for this thing, and we are convinced."
"However, it is also a great fortune in life to be able to compete with Shangguan Wan'er and Miss Shangguan Xiu'er."
The one who spoke was the head of the four talented people in the capital - Tang Bohu.
Wan'er and Xiu'er didn't care about so many false names, and ran to Su Fenglin's side with the moon cakes: "Son, Bing is drunk!" β
"Well, well done."
Su Fenglin nodded, and in front of everyone, he opened the box, and six pieces of white-skinned ice heart mooncakes were presented.
"Your Highness, although it is not very elegant to eat while walking, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, presumably Your Highness will not care too much." Su Fenglin first took a piece of moon cake to Long Reverse Scale, and after seeing Long Reverse Scale accept it, he gave the moon cake to Wan'er and Xiu'er, and he ate a small piece himself.
It was indeed Bing Xin's intoxication, Su Fenglin took a bite into his mouth, the cool meaning entered his throat, and after eating, his face was slightly red.
"Sir, after eating, why don't you go to the lantern pond and put lotus lanterns?"
"Yes." Su Fenglin hurriedly walked towards the lantern pool.
"Ahh
Just as the two were about to leave, a man in white suddenly came running, presumably wearing a mask, which only covered the bridge of her eyes and nose, so it could be seen that her face was flushed.
"Huh? Girl? Su Fenglin said, "But something?" β
"That's... That..."The woman in white embarrassedly spared her head, and subconsciously looked at Bing Xin's drunken moon cake.
"Wan'er, give this girl a piece of ice and get drunk." Su Fenglin knew what it meant, and said to Wan'er, if she guessed correctly, she was the mysterious person who helped her before.
"Yes, Childe."
"Thank you, Childe." The woman in white bowed slightly, took the moon cake and left.
...
Next to the lantern pool, Su Fenglin and Long Reverse Scale wrote their wishes on the lantern respectively, lit the candle heart, and let it drift with the waves.
Looking at the lantern pond, there are thousands of lights, each of which has written good wishes or wishes, carrying hope, drifting along this pool, no one knows where they will look.
Watching the lantern drift into the distance, Su Fenglin said to the dragon.
"Then, Your Highness, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest?"
"I'm a little tired too, so let's go back." The dragon nodded against the scales, and the two of them turned around and left.
"Wow! Sou. β
As the river lantern drifted, a black shadow flashed from the surface of the pool, and a lotus lantern appeared in the man's hand.
"Hmmβread Jun Peace." The black hermit looked at the blessing above and smiled, doesn't he have any wishes? Shaking his head, he put the lantern back on the surface of the pool and ran in one direction.
...
Besides, after Su Fenglin went back, he asked Wan'er and Xiu'er to change his clothes and bathe him, that is, he soaked in the bath and washed his fatigue today.
"Wow! What is it! β
"How full of sparks in the backyard!"
"Wow, Xiu'er, look, there are ice heart-intoxicated mooncakes on the stone table!"
"Huh?" Su Fenglin heard the exclamations of the two girls outside, quickly wiped her body, changed into a light veil and went out to check, if she remembered correctly, when she first came back, the backyard was still quiet, there was nothing at all!
"Crunch!"
The door opened, and she was stunned by the sight before her.
