She and Yu Nanqing each drew a riddle, which was very simple. They were all small pictures. Su Wanyan's small picture depicted a thin river, and the answer was water. It was a riddle that was like coaxing a child.
Yu Nanqing's painting is also a small one, depicting a small bird, which makes it even easier to guess that it is indeed a bird.
The riddle challenge was over, and each person received a tael of silver and a lantern as a bonus.
The pass stamp that Su Wanyan was most pleased with did not disappoint her. The stamp was a design specially created for the Qixi Festival, and the design shimmered with iridescent light when stamped on the book.
Just by looking at the materials used, you can tell it's very valuable.
Su Wanyan couldn't help but exclaim, "Indeed, your words carry weight!"
If this event hadn't been ordered and arranged by Yu Nanqing, we probably wouldn't have put so much effort into it; it's almost as if it was made specifically for Yu Nanqing's benefit.
Seeing Su Wanyan happy, Yu Nanqing was also happy. The Qiqiao Treasure Hunt could indeed continue indefinitely.
Su Wanyan put the silver she won into her small cloth bag and pulled Yu Nanqing to find the next challenge.
Some of the NPCs who help you pass through the level are mobile, while others are fixed. For example, there's the riddle Su Wanyan just solved, and another example is the old man she met next to an archway who helps people write large characters.
The old man was surrounded by people, and a bright red lantern stood behind his chair, with the words "couplets" engraved on it in orange gold.
Su Wanyan wasn't good at this kind of literary work, but since the couplets were all very simple, she rarely showed off her limited knowledge and easily obtained the pass stamp with Yu Nanqing.
Fixed levels are relatively easy to encounter, such as ring toss and pot toss; you'll come across them as you wander around.
Su Wanyan hadn't played the moving levels yet. She was looking down at her progress log, counting which levels she hadn't completed, when Yu Nanqing suddenly tapped her shoulder from behind: "Yan'er, Yan'er."
Su Wanyan turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Look!" He pointed in a direction.
Yu Nanqing was tall, so he was the one who usually spotted the red lanterns first.
However, when Su Wanyan looked up, all she saw were heads.
But above the heads of that group of people, a red lantern stood out conspicuously, with only one large character written on it: "Love".
"What does '情' mean?" Seeing the red lantern moving around in the crowd, Su Wanyan's eyes lit up: "It's a mobile NPC! Hurry, hurry, go stop it!"
"NPC?" Yu Nanqing asked, puzzled.
Su Wanyan ignored him and pulled him through the crowd. When they caught up, they heard the NPC holding the red lantern chanting: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge, and lovers will eventually be united."
"How do you play this?" the two girls who were walking together asked.
The man smiled apologetically and said, "This checkpoint is only open to couples. Do you two know any partners?"
Upon hearing this, both girls blushed, curtsied, and left.
Su Wanyan hurriedly went to greet her: "How do we play this level?"
Upon seeing that it was Su Wanyan, the man immediately tensed up. Then, remembering it was the Qixi Festival, he quickly relaxed and bowed respectfully, saying, "Madam, this trial requires both husband and wife to pass together. May I ask, Madam…?"
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Nanqing's tall figure slowly appeared behind Su Wanyan.
That condescending expression already demonstrated sovereignty before he even spoke.
The man immediately swallowed the words he was about to utter and gestured for her to come this way: "Madam, this way please."
"Isn't this the Prince and Princess?" Su Wanyan was about to follow the NPC when a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears.
Looking back, I was slightly taken aback.
Lu Chao, with a gentle smile, seemed quite surprised and delighted. She stepped forward, curtsied, and said, "This humble woman greets Your Highness and Your Highness. I never expected to see Your Highness and Your Highness here today. May Your Highness and Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings."
Behind Lu Chao were two men and a girl. After Lu Chao bowed, they also bowed in return.
Su Wanyan smiled back: "No need for all of that. Today is Qixi Festival, I'm just out having fun, there's no need for so many rules."
After saying that, he pulled Yu Nanqing away.
Lu Chao then spoke up again: "I heard that the Qiqiao Treasure Hunt game was provided by the Prince. It is indeed full of fun. My friends and I are having a great time. We came here as soon as we saw the red lanterns. I wonder how many rounds Your Majesty has played?"
This statement indicates that she also came here to pass the test, and her encounter with Su Wanyan was just a chance meeting.
Su Wanyan glanced at the lantern the man had hung high and agreed with Lu Chao's assessment. She smiled and said, "I haven't even counted how many levels we've played yet. I'm going to go play with him now..."
She turned around: "What's this checkpoint called?"
"True love will eventually be united," the man replied hastily.
Su Wanyan smiled and looked at Lu Chao.
Lu Chao was delighted: "Perfect timing, we're together..."
She paused, then pursed her lips: "I wonder if Your Majesty minds?"
"I don't mind." This game is open to anyone.
The NPC male spoke up at the opportune moment: "Young lady, this level requires a lover to complete it together. Do you have a suitable partner?"
Lu Chao looked at his companions behind him: "Perfect, Miss Mu and Young Master Yan can be a pair, as for me..."
She looked at another man dressed in blue: "Would Young Master Fu be willing to team up with me?"
The man named Young Master Fu bowed and said, "It is my honor."
Lu Chao smiled broadly and looked at Su Wanyan.
"..." Why are you looking at her?
Su Wanyan was speechless. Only NPCs know the rules? Look at the NPCs!
The NPC man then spoke up at the opportune moment: "Ladies and gentlemen, this way please."
The appearance of the group did not affect Su Wanyan's mood at all. Like a curious child, she asked, "Can several people play this level at the same time?"
NPC: "A maximum of ten groups can participate simultaneously."
"I see." Su Wanyan's anticipation grew even stronger.
"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen Your Majesty. I had planned to visit you at your residence some time ago, but I haven't had the time. I hope Your Majesty won't be offended." Su Wanyan was talking to an NPC when Lu Chao's voice came from the side.
"..." Su Wanyan tightened her grip on Yu Nanqing's hand, turned around and put on a smile: "Today I just want to spend Qixi Festival with Your Highness. We can talk about other things another day."
What's so strange about her? Are you trying to say she's petty or mean, or that she's being understanding?
We were having a good time, and bringing up such inappropriate things ruined the atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chao quickly changed his tune: "It was my fault for speaking out of turn. I was just so happy to see Your Highness and Your Highness that I thought Your Highness and Your Highness wouldn't be on such an occasion."
“…” Yu Nanqing saw Su Wanyan’s reaction.
With a slight step, his tall figure instantly separated Lu Chao from Su Wanyan.
