Li Han was very much looking forward to the Lantern Festival, because this was the first time in recent times that she could go shopping as she pleased.

A lot of things did happen during this period of time. Terrible things like assassinations, poisoning, and witchcraft occurred frequently. Not only Lu Li, but also the Queen was deeply worried about Li Han's life safety.

After all, Li Han was never a peaceful person, so she was forced to stay in the mansion or the palace and not run around. Li Han was forced to read books and stare blankly in the room every day, and she felt like she was going to get moldy. Even if she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go out, she had to be followed by a group of people, all of whom looked ferocious. It was not a normal outing at all. Sometimes the vendors would be so scared that they would turn around and run away when they saw her.

It was a rare opportunity today for Li Han to go out without restraint, so he was naturally very happy. At the same time, Li Shu was as excited as Li Han.

Li Shu had been away from the capital of Li State for a long time and had not seen such a festive scene for a long time. He was both nostalgic and happy, and held Li Han's arm tightly all the way.

Li Han knew that Li Shu had been away from the palace for a long time and had not seen this magnificent scene for a long time, so he suggested that they not take the carriage, but walk out of the palace and stroll along the street.

The queen acquiesced. After all, they were all girls and had the least resistance to this kind of festival, so she did not refuse.

Seeing that Li Han and Li Shu did not take the carriage, Lu Li was a little worried. After all, it was the Lantern Festival and people were taking to the streets. It would not be safe for the two girls, so he followed them. In this way, Li Han and the other three walked to the street together.

The emperor looked at the three people walking away and couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies! Before I knew it, the children have grown up, and we have grown old. Seeing them like this reminds me of when the late emperor was still alive."

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor. This is just the beginning. No matter how old the children are, they still need your protection. Isn't Concubine Song pregnant again? When the little prince is born, you will be young again!"

The emperor was amused by the queen's words: "Look at what you said, it seems that Li Han has also led you astray. Now you can't even talk straight!"

The emperor and the empress were talking and laughing in the carriage, just like an ordinary couple. Perhaps if they didn't have the halo of the royal family, they would be a very happy couple, farming in the morning and weaving in the evening, talking about their hearts together at night, and having children to take care of them. What a wonderful life.

But they are the rulers and queens of a country after all, which means they cannot live an ordinary life like ordinary people. But now they can have such a life, which is stable and peaceful, and that is enough.

Li Shu hadn't seen this kind of scenery for a long time, but Li Han was different. It was the first time for her to truly see the ancient Lantern Festival. It was really different from the modern one. In modern times, apart from local characteristics, people rarely heard of the Lantern Festival. All she could remember were some statutory holidays, the Double Eleven shopping festival, and various Valentine's Days.

The excessive boredom of modern life made Li Han feel more interesting and curious after seeing the ancient Lantern Festival. There were all kinds of small accessories and snacks for sale, especially sugar figures. The various beautiful pictures quickly attracted Li Han's attention.

Li Han walked through the crowd and ran to admire them. Looking at these lifelike sugar figures, Li Han couldn't help but sigh. These crafts that were seen everywhere on the roadside in her childhood are hard to come by in modern society. Even if they were available, she didn't have the mood to appreciate them patiently.

The busy modern life has long smoothed out Li Han's edges. Now that he is in ancient times, Li Han feels that this is a different experience, and he should at least experience the festive atmosphere of the ancient people.

"Master, I want a sugar man too!" Li Han was deeply impressed by the sugar painter's painting skills. Smelling the sweet smell of sugar, Li Han drooled.

"Okay, miss, what pattern do you want?"

"I want a little rabbit!" Li Han was very excited. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he smiled and said, "I also want a big bad wolf!"

"Okay, wait a moment!"

After a while, sugar paintings with patterns of a rabbit and a wolf appeared. As soon as Li Han took the sugar figures, he couldn't wait to eat them. Eating sweet things really makes people feel better.

Li Han held a candy figure in each hand and walked over to Lu Li happily. He handed the wolf-shaped candy painting to Lu Li and said, "Here, this is for you. Eating candy makes you happy!"

Seeing that she didn't have her share, Li Shu grabbed Li Han and said, "Sister, you didn't give me any. Don't you love me anymore? I'm so sad!"

Li Han stuck out his tongue at Li Shu and said, "Children will get bad teeth if they eat candy. I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Hmph, you are biased!" Li Shu pretended to be angry and glanced away.

"Take it quickly. If you don't want it, I'll give it to Shu'er!" Li Han urged Lu Li, who was standing there in a daze. Lu Li quickly took the candy man, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Then Li Han went to comfort Li Shu: "Okay, okay, you are still young, so eat less sweets. I will take you to eat something else!" Li Han really couldn't do anything about Li Shu.

Lu Li stared at the sugar man in his hand in a trance. The smile that emanated from him scared the secret guards around him.

These secret guards were all old men who had been with Lu Li for many years. They were surprised that this was the first time they saw Lu Li so happy. They all knew that Lu Li hated eating candy the most because he thought it was sweet and greasy and he hated the taste the most.

But just now, their general actually accepted a sugar man, which was the most incredible thing they had seen in such a long time.

Lu Li looked at the sugar painting with a happy heart, and obviously neglected to restrain his emotions. However, he didn't care about it at the moment. As expected, a man in love, no matter how scheming he is, will turn from a scheming big wolf dog into a little puppy.

Li Han didn't notice Lu Li's self-admiring look. After all, she had a little ancestor to comfort. "Okay, don't be angry. There's a delicious pastry shop up ahead. Let's go eat together!"

Li Han pushed Li Shu forward. Li Shu was just a little unbalanced, but not really angry with Li Han. Seeing Li Han comforting him like this, he felt very happy.

At this moment, Li Han suddenly found a little boy standing on the street crying, and there seemed to be no adult around him. Li Han felt pity for him and hurriedly walked up to ask.

"Little boy, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" Li Han squatted down, gently stroked the boy's hair, and asked softly.
