Chapter Ninety-Three: The Lantern Riddle Society

The carriage stopped in front of the Taiping.

Zhou Zhong took the pedal and prepared everything before he spoke respectfully to the car: "Master, it's here." ”

"Got it." There was a stumbling inside the carriage for a while before Xie Ji's low and hoarse voice came.

Xie Jian got out of the car first, turned his head to look at the car, Ahya's face was red, and the corners of his lips were blurred with lipstick.

She glanced at Xie Wei with disgust, and then helped the carriage to stand up.

The eyes are full of affection, like a pool of autumn water.

Xie Yu laughed, suddenly made a move, put one hand around Ahya's waist, and with a little force, he picked the person up.

"What are you doing?" Ahya trembled slightly in shock, and hurriedly hugged Xie Yu's neck, for fear of falling.

Fortunately, in the end, it was a big public, and Xie Yu still knew how to measure it, so he scared her a little, and then put the person down.

"Looking at your movements, I don't think you have the strength yet." Xie Yu laughed, with a joke in his tone, "I will personally carry you out of the carriage and make up for it." ”

He motioned for Zhou Zhong to open the way, grabbed Ahya's hand and rubbed it in his palm: "There are many people here, don't get separated." ”

Ahya pursed her lips, her ears were a little hot, and she glared at him viciously, muttering in her heart.

It's really the wicked person who sues first, if he hadn't been so Meng Lang in the carriage regardless of the occasion, he wouldn't have even had the strength to get off.

Her indignant appearance, in Xie Ji's eyes, was like a milk cat with its claws outstretched, only cute, not fierce.

Xie Yu chuckled lightly and led Ahya towards the Taiping Tower.

The building was already full of people. As soon as Ahya entered, she heard the whispers of several guests.

A handsome-faced scholar shook his fan and sighed: "I have never seen such a grand event. ”

The rich businessman who was watching the bustle next to him stroked his palm: "You don't know anything about this, right?" The lanterns of this Taiping Tower have always only been from the thirtieth o'clock of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, the night of the Shangyuan Festival. This year, I don't know who can let their shopkeeper light the lamp again and hold another lantern riddle meeting. With such a big pomp and circumstance, who is not curious? ”

The scholar hurriedly asked: "I am a student from a foreign country who came to take the exam, I don't know the local affairs, this Taiping Lou is open to do business, as long as you give enough money......"

"Money? It's vulgar! The rich merchant sneered, "This is the first floor of Daxu!" Want to break the rules just by giving money? Dream! It has to be a high-ranking official and nobleman to give a death order to make them bow their heads. ”

The scholar couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know why for such a big movement?" ”

A son accosted: "I heard that it was the royal prince who met a beautiful woman at the fifteenth lantern festival of the first lunar month. No, I specially re-organized the lantern riddle party, I want to see the little lady again, and express my heartfelt feelings......"

"Nonsense!" Another person immediately jumped out and retorted, "It's clear that the two of them met, I never thought that Gongzi annoyed the beauty at the lantern riddle meeting, so I made such a big fight, and apologized." ”

A few people chattered, you have a saying, I also have a story, the wind and horses are not related, but they all talk with relish.

Ahya was the only one who stood aside, unable to laugh or cry.

What is this? That's how the rumor was born!

Ahya peeked at Xie Ji, and seeing that his face remained unchanged, he hooked his lips, pulled Xie Ji's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, which of them is right?" ”

Xie Wei lowered his head, with a little smile in his eyes, and slowly brought Ahya to his side: "It's all wrong." ”

Even he couldn't figure out why he would use the power in his hand to do such a thing for Ahya.

But if you can make a beautiful woman smile, it is already worth it.

Ahya blinked, stood on tiptoe slightly, and approached Xie Ji.

"Thank you—" her voice jumped with joy, "the mysterious royal prince." ”

The Ahya people are all here, how could they not guess that this lantern riddle would be made by Xie Wei for her.

Her eyes reflected the lights on the wall, like starlight.

Xie Yu's eyes gradually softened, and there was a smile in his tone: "If you sincerely thank you, you can't just pay lip service." ”

Gotta give something affordable.

He grabbed Ahya's waist and slid his fingertips over the outline of his spine, which suddenly made Ahya feel a little weak.

Ahya hurriedly took a step back and glanced at him obliquely: "You can really do yourself a favor." ”

She snorted, ignored Xie Ji, and looked up at the light lit in the center of the lobby of the Taiping Tower.

It is composed of thousands of delicate and precious lanterns of different shapes. From the first time she saw it, she imagined what it would be like when it was lit up, but now she saw it with her own eyes, but she was still a little speechless by the beauty.

The large lantern that hung in the Taiping Tower was carved from wood, and it had been taken away by the person who guessed the lantern riddle at the Shangyuan Night Lantern Festival. Now this piece is made by Xie Wei's craftsmen, made of colored glass, and the pattern is painted with colored materials.

The glass material is special, and it is more transparent than wood. The candle flame came out from the lamp, and was partially blocked by auspicious clouds and rabbits, and some of them were revealed, and the light and shadow were bright and flickering, accompanied by the swaying of Yingluo, forming an amazing painting.

Ahya's gaze fell on the Merlot lamp in the center, and she couldn't take her eyes off it for a long time.

Xie Yu followed her gaze and lowered his voice: "Like it?" ”

Ahya came back to her senses, nodded without hesitation, and pulled Xie Ji's sleeve: "Your Majesty asked someone to make me a lamp to play with." ”

She didn't have the one to put on the lamp, because it was to be won at the lantern riddle.

Xie Jian is the emperor after all, and he showed up to compete with his subjects for a lamp, which was somewhat cheap.

Xie Yu glanced at Ahya, very satisfied with her sensibility, and patted the top of her head: "It's just a lamp, why bother with it?" ”

Zhou Zhong looked at the opportunity and said intimately: "The slave seems to have met Master Lin. ”

Lin Heng? With Lin Heng's knowledge, it is indeed more than enough to take this lamp.

Ahya's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xie Yu hesitantly, her eyes were like a cat begging for dried fish.

Zhou Zhong has always been sensitive, and before he spoke, he had already ordered a Jin Wuwei to invite Lin Heng.

At this time, Lin Heng followed the people to squeeze in front of Xie Ji, his clothes were a little messy, and he saluted, still the gentleman who was in the square, and did not point out Xie Ji's identity: "Son." ”

He looked at Ahya, smiled on his lips, and nodded in acknowledgment, "Miss Ahya is there too." ”

Xie Yu squinted slightly, squeezed Ahya's hand quite possessively, interrupted her action of returning the salute, and said seriously: "I heard that Lord Lin is knowledgeable, I don't know if you can make achievements in guessing riddles?" ”

Lin Heng was a little helpless, but he still gave it up, cooperating with Xie Ji's whim: "It's okay." ”

Xie Yu hooked his lips, and there was a three-point joke in his voice: "If you can get the Merlot lantern in the middle, I will give you a big gift." ”

He opened his mouth, could Lin Heng still be able to do it? Only his face was solemn: "I will live up to expectations." ”
