Chapter 114: Full Moon Lantern
The full moon of the festival is like a disk, hanging in the night sky.
The stars are dotted, the lights in the capital are dim, and the streets are full of shouting and shouting, and it is very lively.
Tonight, I heard that the king came to the high-rise building in the moat, and lit the lamp and prayed for the people of Southern Chu, yes, the crowd under the city was crowded, and they all came to join in the fun, and there were many officials and nobles who took a look at the king's demeanor, and the Chu Palace did not choose a concubine in the past two years, and they secretly hoped in their hearts that if they were appreciated by the king by chance today, they would be able to be included in the palace in one fell swoop.
"Girl, let's go over there." Bi Lian pulled Ah Rong to the crowd to squeeze in, she bowed her head and ordered, "The king of Chu has already left the palace, light the lamp at the city tower, listen to the news in the palace, he has seen your portrait, and will take the opportunity to find you, we will act when we see the opportunity, as long as we enter the Chu Palace, it will be a big thing." ”
The river bridge was full of people, and I saw a middle-aged man fighting in the middle, holding a basket full of colored balls in his hand, and several colorful lanterns decorated with moon cakes hanging on his side.
Everyone jumped to try, and the middle-aged man shouted: "Mid-Autumn Festival, happy four years later, nobles, here are lanterns to send each other, two people in a pair to participate in the game, the one who hits the most colored balls, this blessing lantern is yours!" ”
The lanterns are all delicate and beautiful, everyone wants to have a good color, and squeezed forward to sign up, but the middle-aged man only left a few pairs of people after a screening, the reason is that the two are not of the same age, and they are not a pair of men and women.
"The number of people is limited, ladies and gentlemen, if you can't participate, you can join in the fun."
Although many people were not able to participate in the competition, they were still waiting to see who would get those lucky prizes.
"There's still a couple left, but who else wants to give it a try?"
The man laughed and looked around, but no one responded, Ah Rong and Bi Lian were fighting in front of them at this time and wanted to leave, but a faint male voice came from behind them: "I'm willing to give it a try." ”
When he heard the man's voice, Ah Rong was suddenly shocked, and saw a man in a black robe standing tall and jade, walking to the front of the crowd and standing side by side with her, followed by several guard-like people and a eunuch-like follower, Ah Rong was like a soul captured by the voice just now, this voice seemed to have been heard several times, how familiar.
Bi Lian raised his spirit when Zhong approached Xun, and wrote a few words in Ah Rong's hand: "The time has come, seize it." ”
"This son, the contestants ask for a pair of men and women, and you don't seem to be in accordance with the rules." The middle-aged man saw that Zhong Lixun had no female companion by his side, and explained with a smile.
"No, I'm not alone," Zhong Lixun's eyes narrowed, and in the confusion of everyone, he turned his head to look at the person beside him, "This woman is with me." ”
The middle-aged man looked at Ah Rong, who was not traveling with him, suspiciously: "This? ”
"But this woman, would you like to?"
Facing the man's inquiry, Ah Rong inadvertently turned his head to meet the gaze of the man on the side of his upper body, and the next moment fell into a deep pool.
Glad? Test?
This person is unfathomable.
Bi Lian tugged at the corner of her clothes, Ah Rong came back to her senses, and pretended to smile inadvertently: "Since this son invited, but the little woman was disrespectful, I would like to give it a try." ”
"Good!"
The crowd chanted, and the game officially began.
Ah Rong stood side by side with the person beside her, she was not a short person, this man was half a head taller than her, and the two figures were projected on the ground, and they formed a pair, which made her heart trance.
Since that day she had seen the portrait of this man, she had often met him in her dreams, and when she woke up, her heart ached, but she could not remember the slightest trace of the dream.
She'd seen him before?
The doorman and her deal...... No, she couldn't hesitate, she couldn't care about anything else for revenge.
"The girl's name is Yingying?"
Between the throwing balls, Zhong approached Xun Qianqian and asked in a low voice, his voice was low and charming, and it was fascinating.
Ah Rong pretended not to know, kept a distance from him and asked, "Childe knows the little girl?" ”
"I've heard of it for a long time."
Zhong Lixun looked at Ah Rong's stunning appearance, his eyes had already appeared possessive, he suddenly hooked his thin lips and smiled.
Yu Quan and He Feng were stunned on one side, the king had never laughed in the past two years, Miss Arong was really the king's sweetheart.
The hydrangeas in Zhong Lixun's hand were shot one by one, and after he finished throwing, he held Ah Rong's hand and continued to throw.
"Childe, it's really inappropriate for men and women to kiss each other."
"It's not intimate to give or receive, but between you and me, we have long been close, and there is nothing wrong with it."
His words made Ah Rong confused, she struggled, couldn't break free and had to say nothing, Bi Lian was satisfied when she saw this.
"The game is over, please put down the hydrangea in your hand."
The middle-aged man said in a loud voice, and then counted the number in each bamboo basket as everyone counted.
Then, his eyes fell on the last two.
"It's good luck for the two of you, the biggest lantern in the next one is the two!"
"Good!"
The crowd cheered, Zhong Lixun's colorful ball in the basket far surpassed the others, he took the lantern, bypassed the envious crowd, Ah Rong and Bi Lian also walked out of the crowd.
By the river, the grass reaches the bank, the willows hang low, and the river surface sparkles under the reflection of flower lanterns.
The lanterns on the river are of different styles, and the lamp that has just been won is depicted with red plums, and the clusters of plum blossoms are extremely red against the background of the candle flames, like proud beauties.
"This lamp is only worthy of the warbler girl."
There were only two people left on the bank of the river, and Bi Lian, Yu Quan, He Feng and others were guarding from afar.
Ah Rong excused himself: "Thank you Childe, it's just that this time I won the lantern all thanks to Childe, but I gave this lamp to me, why not give it to Childe's sweetheart?" ”
Zhong Lixun took a step forward, narrow-eyed and handsome: "The girl is the sweetheart of this son." ”
Childe laughed.
Ah Rong took a step back, and Zhong Lixun saw that she pretended not to know herself, so she pointed to a boat not far from the northeast, and asked tentatively: "I heard that the girl Yingying's piano skills are superhuman, and she also likes the sound of the piano in the next, I wonder if I am lucky enough to listen to a song in the next?" ”
"Childe's false praise, since she is a bosom friend, the little girl is ugly."
Ah Rong kept Bi Lian's advice in mind, she wanted to seduce the man in front of her with her beauty and talent, and get a chance to get close to him.
Stepping on the luxurious boat, entering the private room, looking from the window, you can see the water outside the window.
The maids served wine and side dishes one after another, and a guqin was placed on the small table behind the gauze curtain, Ah Rong sat cross-legged and asked, "I don't know what song the son wants to hear?" ”
Zhong Lixun's fingertips hooked the wine glass ambiguously, looked straight at the beauty behind the curtain, and said in a low voice: "Plum blossom drunk." ”
Ah Rong asked unintentionally: "It turns out that the son loves plum blossoms." ”
Zhong Lixun smiled lightly: "Plum blossom beauty, ecstasy, just like a girl." ”
She was teased by him and her heartstrings trembled, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she didn't care about smiling lightly: "Childe said that he was laughing, how can a little woman be compared with the eternal plum blossoms?" ”
"I said you are, you are."
The tone of the man in front of him was suddenly domineering, Ah Rong was startled, and suddenly felt a deep gaze on his face.
