After three days of preparation, the assembly to guess the lantern riddles began on the evening of the 15th day of the 11th lunar month, and all the square areas of the royal capital were open, and there was no curfew, and the people could swim all night.

On the Cotai Avenue in Wangdu, both sides are once again full of lanterns, although they are all old products from last year, they are still bright and dazzling, and the newly added lantern riddle guessing activity makes this lantern festival very different.

In the past, the Lantern Festival also had the popular activity of guessing lantern riddles, but this requires a certain amount of literary skills, so it is necessary to have knowledge, and people with money can only play, and they can only play in their own homes, which belong to the entertainment of a small circle.

This time a lot of changes have been made, the lanterns on the left and right sides of the street are set up with lantern riddles of different difficulty, as long as you guess correctly, you can get a certain reward, some are gadgets, some are candy for children, some are copper coins and silver and even silver tickets, because more and more people come to visit after hearing the news.

However, because it is not the New Year, many people who do business have not returned, and the scale of the number of people is far less than the Lantern Festival, but it is a little more relaxed, and the shopping will not be so crowded.

Looking at the scene of pedestrians all over the street, admiring the strangely shaped lanterns on both sides of the street, there are poultry chickens, ducks and geese, as well as flowers and trees, animals and birds, and the poppy has a bright smile on her face that has never been seen before.

She didn't wear a white gauze hat to cover her face this time, and she no longer concealed her beauty in the brilliant night, and the brilliant smile of the beautiful jade face bloomed so that passers-by who walked by inadvertently saw it, and they lost their minds in an instant, thinking that they had seen the fairy, and looked for it again, and they had disappeared into the vast crowd of people.

"Senior Sister Yu, there is an empty lantern riddle here, how about we guess?" Sun Xiaoman pulled Yu Meiren's left arm to protect her from being collided with by others, squeezed in front of a flower-shaped lantern, and greeted with a smile.

Bai Miaozhen was on the other side, holding the right arm of the poppy and protecting her.

"Yes!" the poppy agreed with a smile.

In front of the lanterns, the young man in charge of distributing the prizes was stunned, his eyes fell on the face of the poppy, and he couldn't take it off anymore, and the expression on his face gradually became stupid, and then completely froze.

The three women didn't care about his performance, because along the way, they had met many times, and the three women got together to watch the lantern riddles, but they should have no intention of protecting them in the back.

"Thousands of threads, ten thousand threads, all disappeared when they fell into the water, senior sister, guess what this is?" Sun Xiaoman read and asked with a bright smile.

"Isn't this what I saw on the day I came to the royal capital, the rain?" said Yu Meiren with a confident smile.

"Hey, let's guess it's rain, right?" Sun Xiaoman waved at the young man guarding the lantern, and his voice raised a few points.

"Ah-" The young man was startled and came to his senses, "what?"

"We guess the lantern riddle is rain, right?" Bai Miaozhen also asked with a smile, his smile a little more cunning, a little more bad and naughty.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, this is the prize. The young man panicked and took out a lotus-shaped paper lamp from behind him, with a candle in the middle.

"This is called the nine-colored lotus lamp, and it looks good when the candle is lit. As he spoke, the young man picked up a fire fold from the side, blew it on, and lit the candle inside, and the dim flame gradually grew larger, emitting light, and fell on the lotus petals, on which there were thin pieces of colored jade, reflecting a light of different colors.

Nine colored lights sparkle brightly on the lotus petals, looking beautiful and dazzling.

The three women looked at it, and they were also with beautiful eyes and beams, and they were overjoyed.

"This is what Senior Sister Yu guessed correctly, and it belongs to you. Sun Xiaoman took it with a smile and stuffed the nine-colored lotus lantern into the hands of the poppy.

"It's beautiful. The poppy looked at it and exclaimed.

"Let's go, senior sister, let's go to the front and have a look. Sun Xiaoman urged.

"Good. ”

The three of them walked to the front again, because there were not many people, the three of them walked side by side, and there was no obstacle, they should not follow behind, it was rare to have time, and they also enjoyed some scenery along the street.

After the four of them left for a long time, the young man in charge of guarding the lanterns slowly came back to his senses and said to himself: "Was that a fairy who went down to earth just now? ”

Guess the lantern riddles, watch the dance, listen to the songs, enjoy the lanterns, watch the juggling and tricks, eat the rice balls that only have the Lantern Festival, and the group strolled until late at night before coming to the end of the Cotai Strip.

Looking back, although the night is dark, many people are still playing on the streets, laughing and laughing, and there is no tiredness.

"If you don't want to go back, you can go to the watchtower to see the night view of the royal capital, where you can see a different scenery. "You should not inadvertently point to the tall watchtower road next to you.

The watchtower is in charge of guarding, and it is more than ten zhang high.

The poppy took one look and said, "There are soldiers up there." ”

"Don't be afraid, I specially asked for a sign tonight, and we can go up openly. ”

"Let's go, let's go together. The poppy smiled and invited the other two women.

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior sister, it's rare to have a lively lantern festival, we want to go home and spend time with our family for a while." ”

Yu Meiren's face changed slightly, her eyes were bright, she thought for a while, and nodded lightly: "It's okay, but I delayed the time for you to reunite with your family." ”

Senior sister said and laughed, and we left. Bai Miaozhen pulled Sun Xiaoman and left quickly.

Ying Wuxin looked at their backs as they walked away quickly, pursed his lips slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Senior Brother Wuxin, let's go!" Yu Meiren smiled brightly and invited.

Ying Wuxin nodded, took out a gold medal, walked to the watchtower, and handed it to the soldiers guarding it, and the other party hurriedly saluted, bowed and let go.

All the way to the top floor, Ying Wuxin said to a few soldiers in charge of guarding: "I am in charge of this place for the time being, you go down to rest." ”

The soldier did not dare to disobey and bowed back.

Ying Wuxin smiled slightly, the air flow surged, and the two of them flew out of the watchtower and went to the top of the watchtower.

Sitting on the eaves at the top of the watchtower, looking at the grand royal capital under the blue night, the rows of high-rise mansions, and the lights of thousands of homes reflecting each other, the face of the poppy beauty emerged with a peaceful calm.

"It's still good to be a king, the home is quiet and peaceful, and when you go out, you can also have the excitement of the prosperous scene. The poppy looked at the still brightly lit Cotai Avenue and said with a yearning on her face.

"It's really good, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it needs people who have the same heart to appreciate it together, so that you can truly appreciate the beauty of the scenery. ”

"Who does Senior Brother Wuxin want to enjoy such a beautiful scenery with?" asked Yu Meiren, brushing the hair around her ear.

"A lot, Master, Brother Dao, and the two senior sisters, and Senior Sister Yu, you-" Ying Wuxin said.

"Can you make a poem for me?" Poppy asked seriously, looking at Ying Wuxin.

Ying Wuxin got up, his eyes were a little more densely steamed, "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain." BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”
