Chapter 18: The Peasant Girl's Imperial Road

He pulled out a mask.

There is a lively and playful lotus pattern between the eyebrows, and a rather childlike red circle is painted under the eyes. Delicately traced, this is a cute rabbit mask.

This is the mask that Guanqin stopped him at the gate of the palace and handed him over, along with this mask, there is also a handwritten letter from Ling Chan.

Ling Chan wrote in the letter that because her appearance was too eye-catching, she was quite troublesome after going to the street, so she thought of a small way and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to draw a mask for her to cover her appearance.

The handwriting on the pen is beautiful, the girl's shy smiling face appears in her heart, and the heart of Taizhi is swaying, when he returns to the East Palace, he carefully draws on the mask, and he has worked hard for an hour to have this mask.

Ling Chan smiled and put on a mask, and shyly and timidly took out a mask from her arms.

It was a fox mask, and the corners of its slender eyes were swayed and lengthened by a red stitch, which seemed to be smiling and joking.

Ling Chan blushed, and before she could say anything, Taizhi had already understood what she meant, and put the mask on her face with a smile, "It's good, now we all have masks." ”

Yangliuqing Restaurant is built on the shore of Yangliu Lake, and you can see the lantern tower from the window of the box, as well as the lively young men and women under the lanterns.

Some distance from the tower, there stands a bright lighthouse, and every lantern on the lighthouse comes from the people of the capital.

Tan Taizhi put it next to Ling Chan's ear and laughed softly: "My lantern is also in there, I don't know if you can find it." ”

"I just want to give it to you."

"But-" Ling Chan hesitated a little: "I heard that the lanterns of the lighthouse can only be taken by the winners of the Lantern Festival, and I will not do anything." ”

"It's very simple," Yu Taizhi nodded at the red cheeks of the mask rabbit on Ling Chan's face, and said with a smile: "The rules of the lighthouse are never embarrassing, and many projects will be set up every year, as long as you win once, you can get a bamboo stick, and with the bamboo stick, you can go to the lighthouse to receive the lantern." ”

"Interestingly, every year, the most beautiful lantern is selected from the lanterns selected by the people, and only the person with the most bamboo sticks in his hand can take it."

He chuckled and asked, "Do you want it?" ”

Behind the fox mask, under the long eyelashes of the young man, the smile in the eyes of Taiji was intoxicating.

A burst of red light appeared on Chan's white jade-like slender neck.

The two held hands and ran to the lake.

The edge is a charade, and he doesn't pick it, he takes the girl's soft hand and starts his crushing journey from the very edge.

Pulling out the anagram from the red lantern with the light on, he only needs to glance at it, and he can quickly report the answer, and if the answer is correct, the boss will hand him the bamboo stick in this lantern and blow out the lantern.

A quarter of an hour later, the lanterns on this street were dimmed.

It stands to reason that after the bamboo sticks are taken away, the officials guarding the lanterns will put the bamboo sticks back in and light the lanterns, but because of the excessively high-profile record of Taizhi, the guess is accurate, and there is never a mistake or omission, and the people on the street follow behind him, talking about when he will be stumped.

Tajiji picked up the note under the lantern and raised an eyebrow at first glance.

This has never been done before!

The group of people who followed behind were excited, squeaking and discussing, stepping their feet, wanting to see what the topic was on the red paper?

Ling Chan didn't report the answer for a long time, and he poked his head curiously to look at the mystery, "Puzzle: two long and pointed ears, short tails behind the back, two eyes like agate, and a mouth divided into three ......"

"Isn't it a rabbit?" Ling Chan blurted out.

"Well, it's a cute bunny." Taizhi smiled and touched the rabbit mask on Ling Chan's face.

"That's right, congratulations to this girl!" The boss behind the lantern smiled and handed out the bamboo skewer and blew out the lantern.

Ling Chan took the bamboo stick blankly, "How can you not answer such a simple question?" ”

"Because I thought of the little rabbit next to me," he chuckled, "so he hesitated for a moment, but he didn't expect someone to give an answer." ”

In the bustling crowd behind him, someone laughed and said, "It seems that no matter how smart the son is, he will lose to the beloved girl's family!" ”

Ling Chan: "......"

Tan Taizhi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the girl's white neck was red and thorough, he held back his laughter, knowing that she was shy, he turned to look at the gossipy people behind him, and said with a smile: "This is a great lantern festival, there are many competitions under the lamp building, I wish you all a victory, good luck!" ”

This is the meaning of driving people, and the excitement is enough, and soon it is scattered, and the dim lanterns are also re-lit.

And Yu Taizhi pulled Ling Chan to a corner where there were few people, and Haosheng comforted the thin-skinned girl for a while, so that Ling Chan was willing to talk to him awkwardly.

"You're so powerful...... Is it to grab the most beautiful lantern? ”

"No," said Shodai, "I wish you were the first to pick out the lanterns." ”

He put a large handful of bamboo sticks in his hand into the girl's palm, "My lantern is very conspicuous, I want you to pick it up." ”

Ling Chan asked curiously, "Is it the King of Lights?" ”

"If no one else does it better than me." He smiled, and he said softly, "I want you to pick up my lantern...... The Moon Elders will bless us. ”

……

Taizhi took Ling Chan to sweep a few streets, and handed over all the bamboo sticks in his hands to the staff in front of the lighthouse.

The reckoning of the bamboo sticks ended quickly, and the two were invited to the lighthouse.

This lighthouse is made of a long bamboo frame, on which are placed circles of beautiful lanterns, the most dazzling are the several lanterns on the top, which are either intricate and gorgeous, or fiery in color, or elegant and elegant.

Beautiful wheels, illuminated in all directions.

Taizhi bent down and approached Ling Chan intimately, and whispered, "Guess which one is my lamp?" ”

"Hmm......"

"Cousin Prince!" Xie Linyu's voice was lively and bright, and Deng Dengden ran up, "You are actually here?" ”

"Wow, you said before that you asked your beautiful sister to watch the lights together, I don't believe it, there really is!"

She opened a pair of bright round eyes, looked at Ling Chan curiously, and smiled friendly, "I'm Xie Linyu!" Hello? ”

When Xie Linyu made a big fuss about Yang Liuqing, his attention was all on King An, and he didn't give Ling Chan a look, but now Ling Chan took off her hat, put on a mask, and changed into a spare set of clothes, not worried about being recognized by her.

However, it was different from the platform behind Xie Linyu, and the cold gaze fell directly on Ling Chan.

Ling Chan lowered her head and hid behind Taizhi, looking like she didn't like to talk.

The exposed snow-white skin was shiny and powdery, as if she was shy.

Only she knows.

Beneath her hot skin, the blood was racing, and her heart was contractingβ€”it was an unbearable excitement.
