The constable who was banging the gong tucked it into his waistband and took out an exquisite wooden box from his cloth bag: "Congratulations to you two, this is your prize."
Su Wanyan immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you."
Yu Nanqing leaned closer: "What is it?"
"I don't know, let's open it and see." He said, opening the wooden box.
They were actually two gleaming golden dolls!
The dolls, each the size of a palm, one male and one female, appeared even more dazzling under the lamplight.
Su Wanyan exclaimed "Wow!" her eyes gleaming with excitement: "We've struck it rich!"
Yu Nanqing smiled helplessly: "The Prince's mansion has everything, yet Yan'er still covets these two things."
Su Wanyan carefully covered the golden doll: "What do you know? This is the first opportunity reward today."
Su Wanyan was completely taken aback by the sheer scale of the gesture.
To be honest, if the Prince's Mansion had paid for this, it might not have been this extravagant. Although most of the money was in small, scattered amounts, it still added up to a considerable sum.
As soon as Su Wanyan finished speaking, the constable immediately replied with a smile, "Yes, you two are the first to encounter an opportunity tonight, congratulations!"
The enclosed area was too large, and many connecting alleys were blocked by them, so many couples couldn't even meet.
The golden doll was so hot to hold that he was about to lose control of his greed if no one came.
The small levels in the maze offered small monetary rewards, but no stamps. With plenty of time tonight, Su Wanyan wasn't in a hurry and explored almost every single level.
After meeting Yu Nanqing, most of the subsequent levels became games that tested teamwork, which was quite interesting.
Su Wanyan only suggested this one idea at the time, but she didn't expect the people from the Ministry of Rites to improve it so well. Su Wanyan was very satisfied.
Su Wanyan didn't know if she was the first to get out of the maze, because the maze had four entrances and exits. When she came out, she didn't see anyone at the alley entrance, but it didn't matter whether there was anyone or not, she didn't care.
"Congratulations on passing through." At the exit, a man in his thirties bowed with a smile: "Your wooden entry tags need to be returned. Please cooperate."
Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing returned the wooden plaque.
Just as they were about to leave, the gentleman stopped them again, saying, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
"?"
The man spread out the papers from their maze answers on the table. Su Wanyan became interested and leaned over to take a look. She saw...
They are all blank.
When asked what Yu Nanqing's favorite food was, she did not answer and handed in a blank sheet of paper.
In the later question rounds, Su Wanyan couldn't answer the question about Yu Nanqing's favorite place, because Yu Nanqing didn't seem to have any particular favorite place, so she also handed in a blank sheet of paper.
My favorite clothing style, white paper.
My favorite piece of music, "Blank Paper".
Favorite poems, on a blank sheet of paper.
Similarly, on Yu Nanqing's answer sheet, apart from the three words "Su Wanyan" written in a gentle and dazzling style, the rest of the paper was completely blank, just like Su Wanyan's.
My favorite food is white paper.
My favorite place is a blank sheet of paper.
Even for things he enjoys doing, he submits blank sheets of paper.
Su Wanyan couldn't help but chuckle: "Why did you also hand in a blank paper?"
Logically speaking, it should be easy to guess what she likes, unlike him who doesn't reveal a single thing.
Su Wanyan handed in blank paper because Yu Nanqing liked everything she liked. There were just too many things they liked, places they liked, and even clothing styles. They wore matching outfits, so there was nothing they didn't like.
Because I couldn't write it, I simply didn't write it.
What was the reason for Yu Nanqing's death?
Although she has many hobbies, there are a few that are most obvious and she should be able to write them down.
Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, silently scratched her cheek, and didn't say anything.
As soon as he entered the maze, he was eager to find Su Wanyan, but he was constantly stopped by people, and he didn't listen carefully to what they wanted to write down.
Well, not really. If you really want to count, he only heard the first sentence: Write down your partner's name.
So apart from writing down Su Wanyan's name, nothing else was written.
However, Su Wanyan only asked the question casually and didn't dwell on it too much.
The gentleman chuckled and said, "Since you two gave the exact same answer, here's a small prize for you both."
After he finished speaking, another exquisite wooden box was handed to him.
Su Wanyan happily accepted it, opened it, and saw a jade hairpin lying quietly in the wooden box.
"Is this considered a reward for seizing an opportunity?" Su Wanyan couldn't hide her joy.
"Madam is right. The more in sync the answerers are, the better the reward. Madam and Young Master's answers are exactly the same. I think that the two of you must be very in sync in your daily lives to be so remarkably consistent."
Although he was quite surprised that the student answered the question blank, it was also a unique kind of tacit understanding.
Moreover, given their status, this is merely a small reward. If it can please Prince Gong and Princess Gong, then it will be well worth the price.
In general, the answers are revealed and then reviewed with the participants.
During the process of re-examining each other's answers, the feelings between the couple are likely to increase further. Even if they are only engaged but not yet married, they will be happy to see each other's answers.
Even if you answer incorrectly, it can leave a lasting impression on the other person and add a touch of fun to their future life.
And this is also the original intention behind the game's name, which perfectly matches the Qixi Festival.
Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan had a blank sheet of paper, which saved them the trouble of matching the papers.
Su Wanyan took the hairpin and left happily with Yu Nanqing. As for Lu Chao and the others, Su Wanyan hadn't originally planned to go with them.
Not to mention that there are four entrances and exits to this maze.
The night market was especially lively today; even after curfew, the streets were still brightly lit.
Because the venue for the event was too large, Su Wanyan was ultimately unable to collect all the stamps for each level.
Her legs were already sore from walking, so she didn't even release any lanterns for Qixi Festival. Instead, she sat at a small tea stall on the street and watched the lanterns in the moat float further and further away, with the twinkling stars like the Milky Way in the sky.
Su Wanyan leaned on Yu Nanqing's shoulder and yawned, covering her mouth.
Yu Nanqing looked at her with doting eyes: "Yan'er is sleepy."
Aren't you sleepy?
After saying that, he answered his own question: "Never mind, you're not sleepy. You're the kind of person who can go for days and nights without sleeping."
Su Wanyan was very envious; Yu Nanqing's body was exceptionally strong.
She stretched her legs and wiggled her little feet from side to side: "My feet are numb from walking. I didn't walk for very long, but it feels like I've been to so many places today."
"Because Yan'er kept looking for the level to pass, and went around in circles many times."
They even argued about this halfway through; he insisted on going east, but Su Wanyan said there must be a hidden pass to the west.
