Red lanterns are hung in front of every house, and almost every pedestrian holds a lantern in his hand. The river bank under the small bridge is full of people. Some people remove the handles of the lanterns they bought, put the lanterns into the water, and let them slowly drift away with the flowing water.
I saw a woman by the river with a smile on her face, looking around, holding a lantern and smiling sweetly.
A man holding a folding fan was looking at the lanterns that were gradually increasing in number in the river. He leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered something. No one knew what he said, but it made the woman angry and embarrassed. She glared at the man and ran away.
The man then chased after him, accompanied by his joyful laughter.
The sound of gongs and drums came, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Ji Xingzhi was still dressed as a dark-skinned young man, with the eldest eunuch and Liu Yang beside him. The rest of the guards were scattered around, paying attention to the safety of their surroundings while visiting the Lantern Festival.
Ji Xingzhi walked to the stall selling lanterns and looked at the dazzling array of lanterns. For a moment, she didn't know which one to buy.
The man selling lanterns was a middle-aged man, thin and slightly hunchbacked, with bronze skin and a face covered with freckles. His eyes were sunken and looked very shrewd.
Seeing Ji Xingzhi's hesitation, the middle-aged man recommended with a smile: "Young Master, why don't you buy this flying bird lamp? It symbolizes soaring high and a smooth future."
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man took the flying bird lamp and handed it to Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi took a look at the lantern. Inside was a stand made of woven bamboo strips. At the bottom of the stand was a small candlestick with flickering lights inside. The outside was covered with white paper with two birds flapping their wings, ready to fly. There was blue sky and white clouds, and green grass and shade below, which complemented each other.
Ji Xingzhi took the flying bird lantern and saw a spread of brushes and ink. She picked up the brush and wrote: "What night is this? Walking with you? I can't see your shadow, and the sky is without stars or moon."
Well, the gist of it is: When can I travel with you? The days without you are like a sky without stars or moon, without a single ray of light.
Of course, this Jun refers to Xiao Moyan.
Ji Xingzhi put down the brush and nodded with a self-satisfied feeling. "Well, this character is written so gracefully, like a flying dragon, like flowing clouds and water, in one go."
A grin, worthy of being taught by the emperor's uncle~
Seeing Ji Xingzhi's smug look, the eunuch couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Sir, restrain yourself a little."
"Your Majesty, you're a man after all, how could you write such disgusting words? What if others see it?" The eunuch couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi just smiled and said, "Where is the emperor's uncle now?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang immediately replied, "Do you want me to go and take a look?"
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and said, "Well, this lamp is for you. Give it to the emperor's uncle and then come back to join us."
Liu Yang took the lantern and disappeared in an instant after turning left and right in the crowd.
Ji Xingzhi picked up a few more lanterns and went to the river to release them. When she reached the riverbank, she found that the river was so crystal clear that she could see the bottom. Under the illumination of thousands of lights, she could clearly see fish of all sizes swimming with the flow of the water. Although they were swimming, they did not move at all, not even their tails flicked. They just moved with the flow of the water, as if they had become one with the water.
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but find it a little funny. This fish was really lazy to the extreme.
