Old Madam Yue asked Yue Zhan in a daze, “Marriage? What Marriage?”
Yue Zhan said, “Didn’t you want me to marry Qin Miaomiao on the 18th of the first lunar month?”
Old madam Yue snorted lightly, “You wish. I’m a Godfather. Didn’t you not want to marry Miaomiao previously?
You, just continue thinking about your Jing Hua. I Only Want My Miaomiao and Zhu’er. Your two sisters will be much more at ease.”
Yue Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he felt a little disappointed.
Since Qin Meng Meng could get out of bed, it was naturally not good for her to stay in Yue Zhan’s courtyard anymore. In addition, she had added some servants to the residence over the past few days, so she could go back and live there now.
Old Madam Yue said, “You are also a servant there, so you might not care about it. Why Don’t you stay in our Yue residence for now and wait until after the wedding reception.”
Yue Zhu said, “That’s right, you can stay in the same courtyard as me.”
Qin Miaomiao stayed behind as well.
The next day, there was a banquet at the Lantern Festival Palace. Today, Lady Qiao arrived at the banquet early. After seeing Qin Miaomiao, she even asked about her body.
Qin Miaomiao walked to Lady Qiao’s side and said, “I’m already much better. Thank you for your concern, Lady Qiao. I even invited white sashimi to take care of me.”
Lady Qiao Jin said, “It’s good that you’re feeling better.”
Today’s Lantern Festival banquet was as lively as usual. After the banquet was over.
Lu Chen brought Lady Qiao Jin and Lu Xi up to the city wall of the palace gate to admire the lanterns.
On the main street, the palace lanterns drove out of the palace gate. In addition, there were also lanterns from various prefectures and noble families. There were all kinds of lanterns, and they were extremely beautiful.
Not far away, fireworks were blooming. The fire trees and silver flowers were blooming, and the full moon was just right. The moonlight shone on the side of Lu Chen’s face. Qiao Jin looked over and planted a kiss on the side of Lu Chen’s face.
Lu Chen hugged Qiao Jin and used his large sleeve to cover up his kiss on her lips.
Among the officials who were admiring the lanterns, there were many who were looking at the Empress on the city wall.
Many commoners had come to admire the empress’s appearance. Just now, Qiao Jin’s Kiss had caused many old officials to shake their heads and say that it was immoral.
Seeing the emperor cover his ears with his sleeves and help each other, they shook their heads even more violently.
Little Lu XI tiptoed and said, “Mother, I want some incense too.”
Lu Chen pushed Little Lu Xi. “Go and play with your younger brother.”
The young ladies below were all envious of the Empress’s deep love.
Hong Yang was about to shake his head when he heard his daughter Hong Qifeng’s eyes filled with envy:
“The relationship between Her Majesty and the Empress is really good. It would be great if I could find a husband who only has me in his eyes in the future.”
Hong Yang said, “Since ancient times, it is normal for her majesty to have three palaces and six courtyards. Now that the Empress is the only favorite, the power of the relatives is increasing day by day. Sigh…”
Hong Qifeng ignored her father and pulled Yue Zhu and Qin Miaomiao to go guess the lantern riddles.
Today, there were quite a number of merchants on the streets that had come up with the gimmick of guessing the lantern riddles and giving gifts. The streets were crowded with people.
Yue Zhan and the young master of the Hong family followed behind the three women, protecting them.
Yue Zhu could only guess some light lantern riddles. The lanterns that she won along the way were all guessed by Hong Qifeng and Qin Miaomiao.
Young Master Hong, who had been quiet at the beginning, gradually began to chat with Qin Miaomiao. Most of them were romantic poems..
Although Yue Zhan could understand them, he was not interested at all.
Gradually, the original five-person party became Hong Qifeng and Yue Zhu, while Qin Miaomiao and Young Master Hong walked together. Both of them were chatting and laughing.
Only Yue Zhan was a little lonely.
The few of them walked to a jewelry stall.
Yue Zhan recognized Jing Hua who was wearing a mask at a glance. He went forward and said, “Only You Tonight? Where’s Lin Mo?”
Jing hua smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t eat well at the palace banquet just now. He went to buy some snacks for me. Are you bringing your sister out to play?”
Yue Zhan replied. He saw the jasmine flower hairpin in Jing Hua’s hand and said, “This hairpin is a perfect match for you. I’ll give it to you as your wedding gift.”
At this moment, a peddler at the side said, “Young master, this hairpin is not for sale. You have to guess the lantern riddle correctly before you can give it away.
There are many people who have guessed this lantern riddle, but there is still no one who can guess it correctly.”
Yue Zhu said from the side, “Today, along the way, there is no lantern riddle that Sister Qifeng and sister Miaomiao can’t guess correctly.”
The peddler pointed to the lantern riddle hanging at the side and said, “You guys take your time to guess. If you can guess correctly, this jasmine glaze hairpin will be given to you.”
Yue Zhu read the note at the bottom of the lantern and said, “The left side is the mountain, the right side is the mountain, the top is the mountain, the bottom is the mountain, the mountain is connected to the mountain, the mountain is backed by the mountain, the mountain bites the mountain, it is not the mountain.”
Yue Zhu smiled and said, “I know the answer to this riddle, it is the word.”
The vendor shook his head and said, “It is not the word. If the left side is also the mountain, the right side is also the mountain, the word is only up and down the mountain.”
Hearing this, Yue Zhu racked her brain, but in the end, she still couldn’t think of a word. “Sister Qifeng, do you know what the word ‘mountain’is?”
This was also the first time Hong Qifeng had encountered this puzzle. She wrote and wrote in her hand, and she kept feeling that there were some wrong words.
Yue Zhan probed, “Could it be a word? This word is not common.”
The peddler shook his head and said, “Not really. There should be the ‘mountain’character on all sides.”
Young Master Hong moved closer to Qin Miaomiao’s ear and asked, “Do you know the riddle of this character?”
Qin Miaomiao thought about it carefully and shook his head.
Jing Hua also thought about it for a long time, but he still could not think of anything. “Lin Mo came and let him guess. He is a great expert at guessing lantern riddles…”
Yue Zhan’s brows were tightly knitted. Perhaps it was because the people gathered here were all distinguished figures from Chang ‘an, and there were also many people who came forward.
Princess Fu Lu picked up the note. Seeing that she finally had a riddle that she could recognize all the characters, she was eager to participate in the competition.
After guessing that two words were wrong, Qiao Lui wanted to remind her, but Fu Lu covered his mouth:
“Don’t remind me. I didn’t even get a single riddle right when I came out with you. It’s all up to you to guess. If you continue like this, I won’t come to the Lantern Festival with you anymore.”
Qiao lui was so obedient that he kept quiet.
Qin Miaomiao walked to Yue Zhan’s side and used her large sleeve to block her and Yue Zhan’s hands. She used her cold fingertips to write a word in Yue Zhan’s palm.
Yue Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Miaomiao.
Qin Miaomiao nodded lightly at Yue Zhan.
Yue Zhan said, “It’s the word ‘field’, the field of the field.”
The peddler smiled and said, “You guessed it right. You were the first one to guess this lantern riddle today. Come, come, this jasmine hairpin is for you.”
Yue Zhan took the jasmine hairpin and handed it to Jing Hua. He said, “It’s the wedding gift, you can take it.”
After Jing Hua took the hairpin, she said to Qin Miao, “Thank you very much.”
Yue Zhan said, “I guessed it.”
Jing Hua laughed lightly and did not expose him anymore. She only said to Yue Zhan, “You should cherish the person in front of you.”
Lin Mo brought over the newly baked lamb pancake. When he saw Yue Zhan, he put his arm around Jing Hua’s waist and said, “So it’s general Yue.”
Princess Fu Lu smelled the fragrance of the pancake and said, “The Jin Niang is already the empress. The Lantern Festival in the palace is still as terrible as ever. I’m hungry too.”
Jing hua helplessly handed the pancake in Lin Mo’s hand to Fu Lu and said, “Lin Mo, let’s go back.”
