After the lantern parade, people on Shanglin Street resumed order.
Ye Wanhe and Zhao Yun began to guess the riddles on the lanterns displayed by the merchants on Shanglin Street.
"My two nobles, would you like the Qilin lantern feathers I just plucked? Only three taels of silver each."
Ye Wanhe heard the voice of a little boy, about six years old. She turned around and saw that the boy was only wearing thin patched clothes. She was stunned for a moment and said, "You want three taels of silver for a string from a Qilin lantern?"
The little boy said, "This Qilin lamp hair can bless women to have a son. You just saw it. Not many people can pull out the Qilin lamp hair..."
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "Go find someone else to buy it."
After all, she didn't even have time to avoid the so-called precious son, so how could she be happy?
The little boy saw what Zhao Yun was wearing and said, "This Qilin lantern feather has the power to pray for blessings and protect safety. Sir, please buy one for your wife. It only costs three taels of silver."
Zhao Yun gestured to Li Quan beside him to give the boy three taels of silver. After the boy took the silver, he wrapped the Qilin feather in red paper and handed it to Ye Wanhe. "Thank you very much, both of you. I wish you both a happy new year."
Ye Wanhe looked at the hair on the Qilin lantern wrapped in red paper in her hand and chuckled softly, saying, "If a single hair like this can guarantee safety, then wouldn't it be invincible if every soldier going out to war plucked a Qilin lantern hair?"
Zhao Yun said, "It's just for the sake of celebration. Just put it in your purse and carry it with you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Wanhe looked back at the boy and found someone to sell unicorn feathers.
If her child hadn't been aborted by a bowl of medicine, it would have been around this age if it had been born...
Ye Wanhe quickly controlled her emotions and continued to guess the riddles in front of her with Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun and Ye Wanhe walked around for more than an hour. Ye Wanhe had never seen such a lively scene and such various exquisite colored lanterns.
It was already midnight and she had to go home, feeling a little reluctant.
Zhao Yun whispered, "Did you have fun today?"
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "I'm very happy. Today I finally got to witness the excitement of the Lantern Festival in Chang'an. It turns out that the poem about the dancing fish and dragons all night is true."
Zhao Yun held Ye Wanhe's hand tightly and smiled softly.
The two of them walked hand in hand into the East Palace. Fu Qianran, who was in the crowd behind them, looked at their backs and stood there, feeling extremely cold all over.
"Sister-in-law! Look at this little fish lantern. It's so cute and has a little mechanism. I'll give it to Jingru later. She's sure to like it."
Zhao Rui walked to Fu Qianran's side and followed her gaze. "The man's back looks like the Crown Prince, while the woman's back looks like Aunt Ye."
Xie Shian glared at Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui said: "I saw Li Quan, it really is His Highness and Aunt Ye."
Xie Shian stepped on Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui said, "Why are you stepping on me? Your Highness, are you regretting not accompanying your sister-in-law to play, and are you coming here to look for your sister-in-law? I'll go call the Crown Prince over."
