So even if Chen Yalan had just said something unpleasant to her, but thinking that it was for her own good and that Chen Yalan had said it in anger, Fu Liu's anger disappeared and she could no longer vent it.
These two people have been together day and night, and have put their hearts into each other and are wholeheartedly thinking about each other.
Seeing Fu Liu smiling, as if nothing had happened, Chen Yalan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them walked out of the inn hand in hand, like a close couple. Seeing this, the waiter behind them couldn't help but sigh: These two people have such a good relationship!
However, the two men did not hear the waiter's sigh, because they had already walked out of the inn and headed straight for the lanterns.
Since the two of them had finally managed to get out of the palace, they naturally didn't want to miss any opportunity to have fun.
The place where the lanterns gather is the street that is most prosperous during the day. At this time, every household in that street has hung up various lanterns, and there are also some small vendors selling various masks, lanterns and snacks.
Fu Liu happily took Chen Yalan to look at this stall and that stall, and bought whatever he liked.
Chen Yalan was also happy with this situation. Seeing the smile on Fu Liu's face getting deeper and deeper, she also smiled.
They both thought in their hearts, how great it would be if they could be like today in the future.
The two of them arrived early, so they could clearly see the various lanterns.
This road faces various shops on one side and a river on the other, so when the lantern festival ends, the flower boats will arrive.
A huge flower boat stands in the middle of the river, with various small flower boats scattered around it.
There were dancers in twos and threes on the small flower boats, dancing gracefully for people on the river bank to watch.
Looking at the enchanting dance, the men on the river bank were instantly excited.
The big ship in the middle of the river was brightly lit with various lanterns hanging on it, and there were some shadowy figures on it. Because they had news in advance, they knew that the people on the ship were either rich or noble.
At this moment, an old man appeared on the deck. After the old man appeared, he waved to everyone, signaling them to be quiet.
Although no one knew his identity, the shore suddenly fell silent. Only the old man's voice could be heard: "Welcome everyone! My master is planning to hold a poetry competition on this boat. If any young man or young lady is interested, please come aboard and participate. However, the prizes for this poetry competition are only silk flowers, orchids, hairpins, and the like. I hope you will not be bothered."
He announced the prize in advance to let everyone know that there was nothing valuable, so as to prevent those who wanted to get rich overnight from taking advantage of the situation.
Furthermore, he believed that the winner of the poetry competition would be someone with a deep understanding of poetry. For such a person, yellow and white things were too vulgar.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, many people wanted to board the boat. You must know that what they care about is not what the prize is. For them, being able to win the championship this time means making them famous. Therefore, compared to those valuable prizes, being able to make them famous is more important.
After hearing this, Fu Liu looked at the flower boat with envy: "A poetry competition sounds like it would be fun, and the prizes seem interesting too."
For someone like her who came from a common family, she had a yearning and respect for those who were well-educated, so after hearing about this poetry conference, she felt unable to move forward.
Seeing her like this, Chen Yalan rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Since you are interested in this prize, then we will also participate."
"Huh?" Fu Liu hadn't expected Chen Yalan to make such a suggestion, so she was stunned for a moment. After she realized what was happening, she immediately became happy and pulled Chen Yalan towards the flower boat.
Fu Liu is aware of her own identity, but at the same time she also believes that Chen Yalan did not make this proposal for no reason. You know, Chen Yalan is from a family of generals after all, so she is also involved in things like poetry.
According to her thinking, it was just a competition. If she beat Juanhua, that would be great, but if she failed to win the championship, it would just be fun.
A pitiful voice hummed softly from the flower boat beside them, and beautiful lyrics came out from her cherry lips. The dancing girl next to her followed the ups and downs of the tune.
The largest flower boat was bustling with people, but because all the participants in the competition were well-read people, it was not too chaotic for a while.
Questions came out of the old man's mouth one after another, and the answers were spoken by the people below. For a while, there was a back and forth exchange of questions, which was really wonderful!
There are many scholars with real talents among them, but there are also some who are all show and no substance, so those who do not have real talents are quickly eliminated.
Fu Liu looked at Chen Yalan beside her with sparkling eyes. She thought that Chen Yalan would be eliminated soon, but she didn't expect that Chen Yalan would overcome all obstacles and stand out quickly.
Noticing the gaze of the little person next to her, Chen Yalan looked straight ahead and pretended not to see it. However, the slightly raised corner of her mouth revealed her mood.
The poetry competition soon came to an end. To Fu Liu's shocked gaze, Chen Yalan actually won the championship and took first place.
"That's amazing. Chen..." Fu Liu couldn't help but exclaimed, almost exposing Chen Yalan's identity, but she reacted in time and covered her mouth, but her eyes were shining and it could be seen how excited she was at the moment.
"This poetry competition has ended. Now, please invite the winner to come up and receive the prize." Several women appeared behind the old man, holding a tray in their hands, and on the tray were the prizes for this time.
Soon Chen Yalan got her prize. Fu Liu, who was watching from the side, kept thinking in his heart that when they got to a place where there was no one, he would exchange the couple rings he bought during the day for the silk flower in Chen Yalan's hand.
She felt that Chen Yalan would never refuse her request, so the corners of her mouth inevitably rose.
After the poetry conference ended, many people got off the boat, and Chen Yalan and Fu Liu also got off the boat with the crowd.
"Sister Chen, you are so amazing. I didn't expect you to win the championship of this poetry competition!" After getting off the boat, Fu Liu still couldn't control his excitement and praised in a low voice.
