Chapter 128: Your face is too attractive
Zhao Shen looked at the sky and said, "The Xingqing Lantern Festival is so large, it's impossible for it to be cancelled just because of snow. It looks like the snow will stop soon. When it stops, we will go out."
Ji Yunshu also looked outside. It was already getting dark, but the sky not far away was illuminated by the lights, making it glow red.
"Who knows when the snow will stop? It's not heavy anyway, so let's go now."
They had already agreed to go out, and Zhao Shen didn't want to disturb her interest, so he had to ask Bai Ling to get some thick clothes for her to wear.
Bai Ling took out a red satin fox fur crane cloak, which was very warm to wear, and the bright red color made Ji Yunshu's small face look delicate and beautiful.
When he went out, he happened to meet Gu Xing, so Ji Yunshu invited Gu Xing to join him.
Gu Xing was exhausted these days and didn't want to go at first, but when he saw Zhao Shen winking at him, he knew that he was worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos to attack them, so he followed him.
The Lantern Festival in Xingqing City was indeed grand. Even though the weather was so cold and snowing, people were still very enthusiastic.
It was Ji Yunshu’s first time visiting an ancient street market, and everything he saw was new and interesting.
She bought a lot of food and toys along the way, and Zhao Shen followed her to get things.
Gu Xing felt that it was simply unbearable to look at him like this. In his eyes, Zhao Shen used to be a god who was detached from the mundane world.
Who would have thought that a god would look like this when he came down to earth?
He crossed his arms and watched Ji Yunshu pulling Zhao Shen into the group of acrobats, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
Yin Ye knew that Zhao Shen was a skilled martial artist and was more than capable of protecting Ji Yunshu, so she didn't go too close to him and get in the way, but stayed behind the two of them at a distance.
Seeing Gu Xing like this, he stopped beside him and asked, "Why do you look like that?"
Gu Xing sighed, "I've known Prince Zhao for over ten years, and I've never seen him like this."
Yin Ye also looked at the couple not far away and asked curiously, "What do they look like?"
Gu Xing thought for a moment before finding an accurate word to describe it: "Looks popular."
Yin Ye smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
She still remembered how Zhao Shen looked when she first met him. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still looked elegant and graceful, a gentleman of noble character.
Gu Xing was right, the prince at that time was indeed not very popular.
Ji Yunshu didn't know what the two were talking about. She dragged Zhao Shen to watch the acrobatics and unexpectedly found that the level of acrobatics in this era far exceeded her expectations.
And watching it live is even more shocking than what we see on TV or mobile phone videos nowadays.
So he excitedly gave out a silver ingot.
The silver ingot stood out among the pile of copper coins, and the girl who collected the money kept thanking Ji Yunshu.
But when she turned her head and saw Zhao Shen, her face turned red.
She had never seen such a handsome man in her life.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu quickly pulled Zhao Shen out of the crowd and complained, "You might as well change your appearance. Your face is too attractive."
Zhao Shen said with a smile: "Is this my fault?"
The lights from far and near dyed his jade-like cheeks a layer of crimson, making him look even more handsome.
Ji Yunshu seemed to be bewitched. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek. Then she said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you out."
Zhao Shen felt his heart itchy when she kissed him, and he wanted to kiss her too, but he was worried because they were outside.
Even so, the two's conspicuous appearance and intimate behavior have already attracted onlookers.
I had no choice but to continue visiting the lantern festival absent-mindedly.
Unknowingly, they walked to the door of a restaurant, and Ji Yunshu immediately fell in love with a crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the restaurant.
The lampshade is a rose bud carved from a whole piece of pink crystal, with the wick in the center of the flower. It is incredibly beautiful in the bright firelight.
The waiter standing at the door introduced: "This lantern is our restaurant's treasure this year. You can take it away only if you guess all the riddles correctly."
Ji Yunshu looked at Zhao Shen eagerly. Zhao Shen remembered that this was the first time she clearly wanted something after they had been married for so long.
Then he said, "Let me guess."
The waiter welcomed the two into the restaurant.
The restaurant's lobby was packed with people. Zhao Shen wasn't used to such a noisy environment, so he asked, "Are there any private rooms?"
The waiter said embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, there are too many people coming to the restaurant today, and the private rooms were all booked a few days ago."
Ji Yunshu asked, "Mid-Autumn Festival is over, why are there so many people here?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Are you two from out of town? Our Xingqing Lantern Festival always lasts three days, regardless of the main or secondary. Today should have been a little less crowded, but so many people liked that particular lantern. And this year's riddles were specially crafted by the owner, so they're quite difficult. So, since no one has taken the lantern yet, more people are coming to try."
Ji Yunshu glanced at the crowded hall and was about to pull Zhao Shen to a quiet corner when a servant suddenly came over and said politely, "My master invites you two to a private room for a chat."
Ji Yunshu saw that the young man looked unfamiliar, and after confirming that he had never seen him before, he asked, "Who is your young master?"
The servant said, "My son's surname is Zhou."
Ji Yunshu looked at Zhao Shen, who nodded and said, "Lead the way."
The boy didn't say much, turned around and led the way.
In the largest private room on the third floor, Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen met the so-called Mr. Zhou.
He was dressed in white and had a handsome face, looking like a refined and elegant scholar. He looked very young, and Ji Yunshu thought he was probably less than 20 years old.
With him was a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a purple brocade skirt, and was pretty and charming.
Judging from their clothes, they were obviously of high status.
But the other party did not mention his identity at all. He smiled and said to Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen, "I'll be looking for you next week. Meeting by chance is fate. I see that you two came late and there is no room downstairs. Please come up and chat. I hope you don't mind."
Zhao Shen returned the greeting and said, "I am Zhao Shen, and this is my wife."
Ji Yunshu saw that the moment the other party heard Zhao Shen say his name, he obviously raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised.
But it was only a moment, and he pointed at the girl beside him and introduced her calmly, "This is my sister, Zhou Ting."
Zhou Ting bowed and said, "Greetings, both of you."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, you're welcome."
After the greetings, Zhou Xun asked the two to sit down.
Seeing the servant bringing in the lantern riddles, he asked, "Master Zhao, are you here for the lantern outside the door, too?"
"yes."
Zhao Shen naturally had to get what Ji Yunshu wanted.
He simply answered with one word and started writing the answer on paper.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Ting hurriedly urged her brother: "Young Master Zhao is very powerful. Brother, guess quickly. I won't tolerate you not getting the lamp later."
Zhou Xun seemed to love his sister very much and said lovingly, "I'll try my best."
So I began to concentrate on guessing the riddles.
Ji Yunshu didn't understand riddles at all. Although she had doubts about the brother and sister, she didn't ask anything. She just sat next to Zhao Shen and started eating melon seeds.
Zhou Ting, however, looked at her for a while and asked, "Where are you from, sister? Why are you in Xingqing at this time?"
