Qixi Festival is not only a celebration for women, but also for men who want to achieve academic success. They worship Kui Xing, the god of literature, because it is said that the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is also Kui Xing's birthday. Kui Xing is associated with literature and is most worshipped by scholars.
Therefore, many of them would go to worship on this day, praying for the blessing of Kui Xing to bring them good luck in their exams.
Besides these, Guang Suwanyan knew many other things, such as Qixi clay figurines, sewing colorful clothes, Qiqiao needlework, and spider divination.
The most traditional and festive event is the Qixi Lantern Festival in the city. Speaking of the Lantern Festival, we must also mention the lively atmosphere along the banks of the moat.
As night quietly fell, Su Wanyan dressed lightly, wearing only a plain-colored brocade dress with cloud and bird motifs, which had narrow sleeves and made it very easy to move around.
Qiu Ye offered to style Su Wanyan's hair, but Su Wanyan refused, instead tying her long black hair up high in a simple and neat manner.
When Yu Nanqing returned from the study and saw Su Wanyan's attire, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
Su Wanyan smiled and asked, "How is it?"
"Very good." Yu Nanqing nodded with a smile: "Yan'er, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes too."
"Then I'll bring a small bag."
Qiu Ye hurriedly handed over a small, exquisitely embroidered, turquoise-blue cloth bag: "Your Majesty, this servant has already prepared everything."
Su Wanyan slung the small cloth bag over her shoulder: "How is it?"
Autumn Leaves immediately exclaimed, "Beautiful!"
The main reason is that the Empress is beautiful. The Empress is beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears, no matter how she wears it.
Just then, Yu Nanqing changed his clothes and slowly walked out from behind the screen.
Su Wanyan turned around, her eyes suddenly lighting up.
The smoky brocade he wore matched the color of the brocade dress Su Wanyan wore. His dark hair was tied up high, and he wore the same silver crown as Su Wanyan.
He stood right next to Su Wanyan, and even the blindest person could tell that the two were a couple.
Qiu Ye couldn't help but clap her hands excitedly: "Your Highness and Your Highness are simply a match made in heaven! This servant is so envious!"
"Envious?" Su Wanyan felt embarrassed by the comment and subconsciously teased her, "Who do you like? I'll let you be a perfect couple too."
Qiu Ye's face immediately turned red: "Your Majesty!"
Huang Ye smiled as she watched the two playfully bickering, then carefully picked up a matching jade pendant from the dressing table: "Your Majesty's dress today is perfectly matched with this jade pendant. This servant will fasten it for you."
Yu Nanqing stepped forward slightly: "I'll do it."
Huang Ye lowered her eyes and presented the jade pendant: "Yes."
With a slight wave of his hand, Yu Nanqing saw Qiu Ye and Huang Ye tactfully retreat.
"Tie the sachet on too." After tying the jade pendant on Su Wanyan, Yu Nanqing picked up the sachet that Su Wanyan had made and tied it around her waist as well.
Both the jade pendant and the sachet are designed for couples.
Su Wanyan did not object, letting Yu Nanqing tie the jade pendant and sachet to her body, until Yu Nanqing took out a pair of bracelets from the exquisite jewelry box.
"I'm going out to have fun today, will it be inconvenient to wear a bracelet?"
"It's just a bracelet." Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, her expression somewhat resentful: "Today is Qixi Festival, Yan'er doesn't want to?"
"..." It's just a bracelet.
Su Wanyan really wanted to return those words to him.
But she still smiled helplessly and said, "Wear it, wear it however you like."
Yu Nanqing then smiled again, gently took Su Wanyan's small hand, and carefully slipped the bracelets onto her wrist.
After arranging everything for Su Wanyan, he casually started equipping his own set of items one by one.
It seemed he wanted to wear all of these on his body to announce to everyone that Su Wanyan and he were a couple.
Besides these, he also picked out earrings for Su Wanyan. By the time Yu Nanqing had finished fiddling with them and finally left the house, half an hour had already passed.
Everyone is saying that because of the Bai family incident, the people of Fucheng are not very enthusiastic about Qixi Festival, and the atmosphere in Fucheng is low.
But not long after leaving the mansion, the city streets were already packed with people, and the carriages couldn't get through at all.
Su Wanyan leaned out of the car window: "I thought there wouldn't be so many people today!"
Moreover, although Yu Nanqing took a little longer, they actually came out relatively early.
"Your Majesty is unaware that the Qixi Festival celebrations were announced three days in advance to generate buzz. The Qixi Treasure Hunt in the city had prizes, so many people came early to grab a spot in the front row," Qiu Ye explained to Su Wanyan with a smile from outside the carriage.
Su Wanyan naturally knew that it was a game she had come up with.
The Qiqiao Treasure Hunt is centered around the city moat, with various treasure-hunting checkpoints set up within a radius of the moat. Those who pass the checkpoints can receive rewards.
The reward she set was very simple: silver.
Don't you get gold coins for completing games?
The most fun part is that opportunities can be triggered randomly in this treasure hunt game, and triggering these opportunities will bring extra prizes. As for where these opportunities are, when they will be triggered, and what the conditions are for triggering them, even Su Wanyan doesn't know.
When she was working on the plan, she only gave a few examples, and the details were all finalized by Reijung.
Su Wanyan patted Yu Nanqing: "Come on, let's get out of the car and walk."
Yu Nanqing naturally had no reason not to listen.
When she arrived at the destination, Su Wanyan saw that in addition to the common people, there were also many young masters and noblemen present. Unlike the common people who were curious and eager to make money, their presence was most likely due to instructions from their elders.
After all, this idea came from Prince Gong's Mansion.
Now, who dares to disobey Yu Nanqing's instructions?
Su Wanyan didn't dwell on these things. She went out today specifically to play the "Qiqiao Treasure Hunt," and the beauty of this festival activity was that she didn't have to start from the first level.
Walk to the busiest place on Qixi Festival, and you can start wherever you see a red lantern. Find whichever level you want to pass, there is no fixed order.
"Yan'er." Yu Nanqing had only been leading Su Wanyan for a short while when he pointed ahead, his gentle voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of excitement: "Look."
"What? Where! Where?" Yu Nanqing was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and he could see the red lantern signs on the street with ease.
But all Su Wanyan saw were heads. She grabbed Yu Nanqing's arm and bounced around twice: "Where? I don't see anything! Take me there quickly!"
Yu Nanqing was stunned. She couldn't help but put her index finger to her lips and let out a soft laugh. The little person next to her was hopping around like a little rabbit, which was extremely cute.
Su Wanyan was completely preoccupied with the "red lantern" (a euphemism for a serious crime), and didn't notice Yu Nanqing's subtle actions.
Suddenly, Su Wanyan felt a pair of large hands encircle her waist. Her heart tightened, and her face instantly darkened: "Yu Nanqing! Don't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Nanqing lifted him up above his head and sat on his shoulder!
"Wow—" The people around immediately noticed what was happening.
Su Wanyan's face flushed bright red in an instant.
Yu Nanqing, however, seemed oblivious to his surroundings, and casually pointed to a spot not far away: "Over there, Yan'er, can you see it?"
