Chapter 19: The Peasant Girl's Imperial Road

He snorted coldly and mocked: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this?" A coward who will only shrink behind you in the face of other people's kindness? ”

Xie Linyu only thought that he was defending her, and glared at Yutai with a smile, "Don't talk like that!" The little girl is embarrassed, it's normal. ”

"But you won't." When he touched her face, his dark eyes were deep.

Xie Linyu blushed, "What are you doing?" ”

It had never been like this before...... Such Meng Lang!

The official, who had been ignored for a long time, coughed, suppressed the excitement of looking at the gossip, and said as smoothly as possible: "Since the two of them have the same number of bamboo sticks, the two of you go to the lighthouse to pick up lanterns together, can you see it?" ”

"No, you can't." His voice was indifferent, "If we pick the same lantern, who should we give it to?" ”

Taizhi lowered his eyes and asked Ling Chan: "What do you think?" ”

Ling Chan said softly: "I also want the first place......"

On the other side, Tantai Shi and Xie Linyu both heard her voice.

Xie Linyu: "Does the prince's brother want this sister to go up and choose the lamp first?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, she turned her head and discussed with Taizhi, "Why don't we let the prince's brother go first?" I don't care about legends or anything. ”

When he was on the stage, he said abruptly: "My lantern is also on it." ”

He looked at Xie Linyu and said something in his words, "Do you know that my mother chose a wife for me?" You think our relationship is stable, but in fact, it is precarious and can be destroyed by external forces at any time...... Isn't it good to try the legend of the Lantern Festival? ”

Xie Linyu stared at him strangely, "Didn't you never believe in these ghosts and gods before?" ”

"Wait!" Her teeth clenched little by little, "You made the lamp, but you didn't tell me?" ”

"What's the point?" "Isn't that cheating?" ”

Xie Linyu pressed the awkwardness in his heart, and turned his head to look at Ling Chan and the others, "Then why don't we have a game?" ”

She looked at Ling Chan's slender figure and said thoughtfully, "I can let you do the question." ”

"Who's to say I don't want to?" She sneered when she was on the stage, she crossed Lin Jingshu and approached Ling Chan, but was blocked by the prince's hand without leaving a trace, "My lamp is also on it." ”

He stared at Ling Chan directly, and said softly: "You have to choose well, if you choose the wrong one, you will have to pay the price." ”

Ling Chan stood behind the Taizhi, her gaze crossed the shoulders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and when she went to the Taizhi, it seemed like begging for mercy and declaring war, "I will choose well." ”

Taizhi's hand held Ling Chan's palm through the sleeve, and it was separated by a touch, but the warmth did not dissipate for a long time.

The official guided her to step on the stairs and climb to the top of the lantern tower, the flowers of the capital were all under her feet, and the bustling crowd participating in the lantern festival raised their heads and looked curiously at the bright lights of this tower, as well as the first place on the top of the tower this year, the girl in fluttering clothes at the top of the tower.

The tower owner stood next to her, and introduced this year's lamp king to her with a little embarrassment, "The lamps collected this year are generally of high quality, and there are many beautiful lanterns, so the lamp king is not easy to evaluate......"

"These two lanterns are comparable in appearance and craftsmanship, and our master was embarrassed when evaluating the king of lanterns, so we decided to give this right to the first place this year, which is you." He pointed to the two lanterns in front of him and said, "Which one you choose, which one is this year's Lantern King." ”

The two lanterns in front of me, one is particularly gorgeous and beautiful, the arc of the octagonal cornices is smooth and beautiful, and the paper is painted with a fine brush, the painting is the same girl, sometimes she lies on the wall, smiling brightly, sometimes she stands under the tree, flying flowers.

The other lantern is particularly flamboyant, with strong and bold colors, black and red hedges, inlaid with goose yellow glass, giving this beautiful lantern with almost teeth and claws a little more euphemistic and delicate.

Ling Chan only glanced at it, and knew who the two lanterns belonged to.

Her gaze looked beyond the lanterns to the owners of the two lanterns.

With his hands behind his back, he stood tall and looked at Ling Chan at the top of the tower with a smile, his eyes were full of confidence, and he believed that his beloved girl could choose his lantern.

He hugged his arms in front of his chest, his thick black eyebrows were wrinkled, and Xie Linyu next to him chattered with him, enthusiastic and satisfied.

Ling Chan smiled, she reached out in front of the crowd and picked up an unremarkable rabbit in the lighthouse with a bamboo pole.

There was a boo from the people below.

This rabbit is quite cute, but the process materials are far inferior to the two lamp kings, this little girl is blind?

Even the expression of the tower master on the side was about to speak, and then stopped.

There was only one person who covered his mouth in surprise.

In the crowd, Lin Jingshu excitedly shook the arm of the person next to her, and exclaimed in a suppressed voice: "That's my lamp!" My lamp has been chosen! ”

It was too far away, and she couldn't see the face of the girl on the top of the tower, but Lin Jingshu was sure that this was Ling Chan!

Ling Chan chose her little rabbit!

Ling Chan didn't see the tower master's strange expression, she carried the lamp, and Shi Shiran went downstairs.

The three people downstairs had different expressions, but only Xie Linyu asked, "Why did you choose this?" ”

"Because I like it." Ling Chan smiled sweetly, "I think this rabbit is so cute!" ”

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes looked at Osamu Tandai expectantly, "This rabbit is like the mask on my face...... Am I right? ”

Taizhi suppressed the disappointment in his heart, adjusted the expression on his face, and nodded with a smile, "It's good if you like it." ”

- Blame him, when he made lanterns, he didn't think about what Ling Chan liked at all, and he teased her with rabbits every day, so it's not strange that she misunderstood...... When making lanterns yourself, you should think more carefully.

Xie Linyu went up to choose the lantern, and when he was on the stage, he stared at the two of them with a strange face, and suddenly clasped his palms together and laughed, "Hahahahahaha ”

Ling Chan was so frightened by this sudden laughter that she shrank her shoulders and grabbed Taizhi's arm.

Xie Linyu quickly came down with the lantern, of course she didn't make a mistake, what she mentioned was the black and red lantern when she was on the platform.

He laughed wildly, like a complacent victor, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I really didn't expect that the lantern you had made for more than half a month would be compared to this small, simple rabbit lamp." ”

He took Xie Linyu and walked away.

Ling Chan clenched the lever in her hand nervously, and whispered, "Did I choose the wrong one?" Sorry ......"

"It's okay, it's because I didn't think about your preferences in advance, so I don't blame you." Taizhi touched her head and said gently: "It's not early, I'll send you home, right?" ”

Ling Chan looked up at him with a sweet smile, "Hmm! ”

……

In the middle of the day, the crowd dispersed, and in the bright lighthouse, all kinds of beautiful lanterns were picked up, and only some mediocre-looking lanterns were left at the bottom of the tower, and no one cared about them.

A slender hand picked up a lantern.

This is an extremely ordinary lantern, the bamboo is bent into a spherical shape, and the white paper is pasted, and it is randomly dotted with a few rouge strokes by the maker.

It's a lantern that no one wants.

But this hand was gently, extremely cherished rubbing this little bit of red, and his voice sounded softly, "Ah Chan......"
