The weather in June, even if the sun has set, is still bright, but the temperature gradually drops due to the lack of sunlight. COP> The Dragon Boat Festival in Qingzhou Mansion is really lively at this time, and the people in the city are scrambling to go out, even the women who have not left the pavilion are wearing hats and walking out of the house accompanied by the maid.

It's just that everyone heard that Zhenyu Junjun had prepared a lantern festival, but walking on the street, except for the festival lanterns prepared by each family, there was no light, which inevitably made people more and more curious and looking forward to it.

Wang Tai'an looked at the more and more people on the street, and turned to look at Qingyan beside him: "I didn't expect you to be quite prestigious here, I haven't seen a single light, but no one has questioned your remarks, it's really rare!" ”

"This can only show that the courtiers are honest and trustworthy, and it is only the people of the city who will be like this!"

"That's right, I've known you so far, and I haven't seen any gaffes from you, it's really rare to be able to do this." He raised an eyebrow, then nodded in acknowledgement.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be anxious, the lamp courtiers have already been prepared, only the night is coming, although it will not be as bright as day, but it must be very distinctive." She got up with a smile.

"Where are you going?" When he saw that she was getting up and about to leave, he asked.

"I made an appointment with the eldest sister and the Zhou sisters to get together here, and at this moment they are afraid that they have arrived. If His Royal Highness is fine, the courtiers want to go over first. ”

"Huo Dao, have the crown princess and the Zhou family sisters arrived?" He raised his hand to stop it, then said loudly.

"Back to Your Highness, I arrived at the chrysanthemum platform opposite a quarter of an hour ago!"

"Go and invite them all over, let the shopkeeper serve the food immediately, and let them go home after eating!" He said unquestioningly.

"No!"

"Wait!" Qingyan was puzzled, and hurriedly called Huo Dao, who was about to leave, and then looked at the prince.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, why is this? The reason why they came here is to watch the lantern festival, if they eat and leave, the lantern festival must not have started yet, wouldn't it be a disappointment to leave like this? ”

"Zhenyu, the Lantern Festival can be seen next year, even if they are this year, you will be the same, go home after dinner!" Wang Tai'an's attitude was extremely resolute.

She wanted to say something, but in the process of looking at him, she knew that no matter what she said, nothing would change, but this sudden change made her uneasy for no reason, and she always felt as if he was hiding something.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

Just as she was pondering for a moment, Huo Dao had already walked in with Qingyue, Qingyun, Zhou Jingke, and Zhou Jingyi.

"Get up!"

"Your Highness!"

"This palace knows that except for Zhenyu, who has the right to participate in politics, Yue'er is the future concubine of this palace, and the rest of you are not suitable for eating with this palace in private, but today is special, these customs will be exempted first, Huo Dao, tell the shopkeeper that after a quarter of an hour, the food must be served!"

"No!"

Huo Dao turned to leave, Qingyue and the others all looked at Qingyan, no one thought that the time would be so rushed, but this was the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if they were unwilling, they had to obey, but the expectation of the Lantern Festival still made them subconsciously look at her, hoping that she could say something good.

"Don't look at me, everything that should be said has been said, His Highness has made up his mind, and even the monarch of this county is going to return home earlier!" She spread her hands, pulled Qingyue over, and pushed her to sit down next to the prince.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and sat down helplessly, Wang Tai'an saw their disappointed looks, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, and then his eyes fell on Qingyue's body, but he saw that although she was disappointed, she still talked to people generously and decently.

An hour later, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, thinking that if they waited for a quarter of an hour at most, the grand occasion of the lantern festival would inevitably appear in front of them. Therefore, they all looked at Qingyue and Qingyan with anticipation, and in their minds, only these two people could have a say in front of the prince.

"You're all full, aren't you? Huo Dao, notify the carriages of each province, wait at the door, and pick up their respective ladies to return to their homes! However, Wang Tai'an directly chose to ignore it, got up and looked at the night, and commanded with a frown. cop> "Your Highness—" Qingyue got up and walked to his side.

"There is no need to persuade each other, this palace has made up its mind!"

"Your Highness misunderstood, the concubine just wanted to say, although it is the Dragon Boat Festival, but when you want to come to Your Highness's home, I am afraid that it will be late at night, but you still have to pay attention to keeping warm, not alternating between warm and cold!"

"Good! Hongu has written it down! He breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her beautiful face, for no reason there was a sense of amazement, this feeling was also had when they first met, but then too many things happened, causing his mind to be a little confused, and now in this situation, her smile was warm and sincere, which made his nervous heart relax for a moment.

Seeing this, Qingyun walked to Qingyan's side unwillingly, took her hand, pouted, and shook it gently.

She patted her hand and shook her head helplessly: "Sister Yun, next time!" Your Highness has decided, we can't refute it! ”

"Your Highness, Lord Zhou and Qinhou have arrived!" Cheng Feng pushed open the door and said with a bow.

"What about the chariots of the provinces? Can it be reached? He pondered for a moment, looked at the ladies in this room, and became a little anxious.

"There are too many people outside at the moment, and the carriage can't catch up for a while, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait!"

Listening to Cheng Feng's answer, Zhou Jingke, Zhou Jingyi, and Qingyun were overjoyed, Qingyue and Qingyan glanced at each other, although they also wanted to stay, but they could feel that Wang Tai'an must have something important, otherwise he would not be so eager to let them go back, now that there is such a change, I am afraid that he will be even more worried.

"Send someone to disperse the people for a quarter of an hour—"

"Your Highness, Your Highness doesn't know that the annual lantern festival is held in front of the Liufangzhai Gate, and this year is no exception, so if you really want to disperse the people in the city, even if it is only for half an hour, it may arouse public resentment!" Qingyan got up and said with a deep salute.

"Wow, look, there's a light on the rooftops, it's so beautiful!"

"It is worthy of Zhenyu Junjun, he has never let us down, this kind of light is so dreamy!"

"Yes! This year's Dragon Boat Festival is really extraordinary! ”

At this moment, the people outside the window were talking, and everyone gathered in front of the window to look out, only to see that the houses in the surrounding kilometers around Liufangzhai were all shrouded in fluorescence, regardless of size, rich or poor, which added a hazy beauty to the evening before it entered darkness.

"This is? Firefly? Zhou Jingke looked at the jar full of fireflies on the edge of the roof in disbelief, no one thought that she would use this method to hold the Dragon Boat Festival.

Qingyan blinked slightly, looking at the scene in front of her, although it was the same as she imagined, she was still not satisfied, the original idea was to use the principle of the night-bright watch on the earth to paint the roof all over the house, but she never understood it, and finally had to ask Ling Feng, Ling Wu and others to go to the south with honey jars to catch fireflies, fortunately, this whimsical idea came true, even she felt incredible, not to mention the people here.

"Look, what's that?"

Then, at the moment when everyone was fascinated by such a scene, a huge Kong Ming lantern appeared in everyone's sight, and its light made the night, which had not yet entered the darkness, suddenly brighter as day.

And under the Kong Ming lantern is tied a huge basket, Liu Changqing with a scholar standing in it, and then there is a thick hemp rope below, looking in the direction of the rope, it is just connected with the lush locust tree in front of the Liufangzhai gate.

"Liu Changqing of the old decay Tianfu Academy, it is an honor to be able to preside over such a special Dragon Boat Festival Lantern Festival, which also made the old decay completely change his opinion on Zhenyu Junjun, to say a word from the heart, before that, the old man has always felt that women's learning is just a waste of time and a waste of life, but after this year's Dragon Boat Festival, the old man knows that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.

As long as he thought of half a quarter of an hour ago, when the master around Zhou Zheda continued to praise her poetry riddles, he knew that the ten poetry riddles behind him were actually from her hands.

Qingyan stood in Liufangzhai, and never thought that there would be such a scene, at this moment Liu Changqing gave him a deep salute, whether it was the people downstairs, or everyone in the house looked at her, you know, he is second only to Li Wenru in Tianfu Academy, knowledgeable, upright, there are not many people who can make him admire or bend over, but now there are more women like her.

"Liu Lao's words are serious, Zhenyu is just learning from his predecessors!" She hurriedly returned the salute.

"The county monarch doesn't have to be humble, with this experience, the old man naturally learned about the great talent of the county monarch, don't wonder the saint will appreciate you so much today."

Hearing this, she smiled and saluted again, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, Liu Changqing turned around, faced the people below, and took the lantern riddle that the scholar had already prepared in his hand.

And opened it, one by one hanging on the edge of the basket, only to see that it was a slender long strip, white characters on a black background, hanging in the sky, blending into the darkness, the fonts seemed to be reflected in the night sky, eye-catching and ethereal.

"This lantern festival, a total of 100 lantern riddles, one point for each question, the one with the highest score wins, take the top three, the third place can be studied with the old decay, the second place can worship my Tianfu College Xuezheng Li Wenru Li Xuezheng as a teacher, the first place, the old Mr. Yang Pingzhi will be accepted as a registered disciple."

His voice fell, and the inside and outside of the building were boiling, these three people can be said to be the pinnacle of literature in Qingzhou Mansion, especially Yang Pingzhi, but the only existence in the entire Celestial Empire that can be called a great Confucian.

"Zhenyu, is this your idea?" Wang Tai'an looked at her puzzled, he didn't care about the first two, but Yang Pingzhi, everyone knew that he would not accept students easily, and now in this situation, if he said that without her credit, he would not believe it.

When Qingyue and the others heard this question, they all looked over, although there was shock in their eyes, but more admiration, being able to move the contemporary Confucianism is enough to explain her ability.

"Nope! It's what Mr. means, and Zhenyu can't see through it! She sighed and shook her head, her eyes flashed with doubt, when she learned about this matter, she was also quite shocked, but the husband was resolute, and she couldn't stop it.
