Chapter 299: Enjoying Lanterns on the Qixi Festival



An Qingran was a little nervous at the moment, as the Chinese Valentine's Day was approaching. This was her last Chinese Valentine's Day as a girl, as she would get married after that.

Dongfang Ruoxue took her arm and said, "Well, you have to accompany us tonight, and you are not allowed to regret it."

An Qingran smiled: "Who said they regretted it?"

Lou Qiyue also spoke from the other side: "Look at these people, there are more of them than the stars in the sky, don't get separated later."

"You, take care of yourself... Don't let Hu Zi come and take you away. I'll follow Qingran. She knows kung fu." Dongfang Ruoxue said with a smile.

An Qingran felt a little embarrassed. With her mediocre kung fu, she couldn't even protect herself, let alone save others.

But she didn't say anything, Lou Wanyue said: "Princess, I heard that you went to Yuehua Temple again a few days ago, and didn't invite us. Did you go there secretly to seek marriage?"

Dongfang Ruoxue's face lit up: "Nonsense, I didn't..."

He said no, but his face turned even redder.

An Qingran smiled and said, "This Buddha is busy all day long, taking care of everything. I'm afraid he's even busier today..."

Looking around, the long street was as bright as day with lights on and bustling with tourists. Men and women gathered together at this rare time. The young ladies of wealthy families, who were rarely seen on weekdays, also slipped out in disguise, and the servants and guards followed them out in the light.

Dongfang Ruoxue and An Qingran's guards followed closely behind.

"Look, there are lanterns over there, and the Seven Fairies Lanterns..." Lou Wanyue pointed into the distance.

Three people ran over together and bought one each. Lou Wanyue's was a cabbage lantern, while Dongfang Ruoxue, who had always been a gentle person, chose a tiger lantern. An Qingran chose and chose, and finally chose a star lantern. The three beauties, holding strange lanterns in their hands, attracted people's attention and had a 100% turning back rate.

Of course, one of the beauties is even more mysterious, with eyes as clear as autumn water, but her face is covered with a veil. I wonder how stunningly beautiful she is under the veil.

The three of them bought some small things in front of the stall, and then ran to the door of the store to look at the riddles on the door. The three of them were as excited as birds released from a cage, but fortunately they usually sat or stood at home, so they were used to it. However, they were still excited, with a faint smile on their faces, which attracted a lot of attention.

There were a few handsome young men following them closely, not sure whether it was because they loved the flowers or to protect them.

Some women even showed envy when they saw their outfits.

The three of them were having fun for a while. As they were walking, suddenly, Lou Wanyue's cabbage lantern shook, and a bamboo ring was put on it. Looking again, they saw a little boy next to them putting the ring on. There was a gift in the ring, but the little boy didn't know what was going on and threw the ring behind him. Lou Wanyue wanted to come forward to ask for it back, but was too shy. Lou Wanyue handed the bamboo ring to the little boy, but when she turned around, she almost bumped into someone's arms. The slender girl was none other than Dongfang Run, with gentle eyes. Seeing that she was swaying and about to fall, she reached out to hold him.

"Dongfang...Prince Dongfang." Lou Wanyue felt like she was burning all over, and even cold sweat started to appear on her back.

Dongfang Run nodded slightly.

"What's wrong? Cousin, you only saw Prince Dongfang, but didn't see me, your cousin?" Lian Muchan's voice sounded from the side. When she looked to the side, she saw Dongfang Jin was there too.

An Qingran and Dongfang Ruoxue were also stunned.

Before Lou Wanyue could answer, Dongfang Jin stepped forward and looked at An Qingran; "I went to the general's mansion to pick you up, but you are here, so it's easy to find you."

His eyes were like water, and even more full under the light. An Qingran's heart softened and her face couldn't help but get hot again.

Lou Wanyue was speechless after being interrupted by Lian Muhan, and An Qingran came to the rescue: "Cousin, how did you two meet here?"

"The prince and I have always been together, like conjoined twins, don't you know? Oh, and from now on, my place will be occupied by you, you must be happy."

"Cousin?" An Qingran's voice became harsh. He always talked nonsense when he could control his mouth.

Lou Wanyue also spoke up: "That's right, cousin, are you going to dominate the prince for the rest of his life? I'm the legitimate princess."

"Cousin Lou, don't force yourself. I'll find you a brother-in-law someday and he'll take good care of you. You're so disrespectful."

Dongfang Ruoxue looked at Lian Muhan, then sighed and lowered her head deeply.

Lou Wanyue almost didn't know what to say.

Dongfang Jin spoke up: "If we stand here, we will block others. Since everyone is here, why don't we have some fun together?"

"Of course." Lian Muhan's attention was finally diverted.

Lou Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Dongfang Run's eyes seemed to pass over An Qingran unintentionally, and then looked into the distance. He was standing there, a scenery in itself, like a breeze, which was harmless but gave people the feeling that no one could get close to him.

Dongfang Jin patted Dongfang Run on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about?"

Dongfang Run just came back to his senses and pointed to the distance: "Over there, it seems like someone is guessing riddles."

"Guessing riddles? I like it the most..." Lian Muhan started by clapping his hands.

Everyone walked over together.

The boss knew that the six people were extraordinary people when he saw their demeanor. He greeted them with a smile on his face. Those who guessed correctly would receive a prize, while those who guessed incorrectly would have to buy something from him. What he piled on the table were all nice-looking trinkets, dolls, small jewelry, etc. It was obvious that this boss was very good at doing business.

Lian Muhan was the first to rush forward, muttering, "Guai, guess an idiom? What is guai?"

He scratched his hair, and the boss wanted to laugh when he saw that he couldn't figure it out.

Dongfang Ruoxue wanted to speak but was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so she stood there pulling at his clothes, worrying about him.

Lian Muhan jumped up and down, looking left and right. People passing by gathered around the six of them, not to guess the riddles, but just to watch the fun. Lian Muhan smiled as he saw more people gathered around them, "Do you think I can't guess it? Okay, I'm going to tell you the answer? Really?"

When will he forget to show off?

An Qingran burst out laughing: "Cousin, if you don't say anything, I will..."

"Okay, I told you the answer is: take advantage of someone's unpreparedness! Right? Am I right?" He stared at the boss and asked.

The boss sighed and took out a small bracelet from the table. It was made of sandalwood and painted red. It looked very beautiful.

Lian Muhan took it and took a look. It was clearly for a girl. He first glanced at An Qingran, but when he met the same look from Dongfang Jinbing, he changed direction and handed the bracelet to Lou Wanyue: "Take it and play with it."

Because he felt unfamiliar with Dongfang Ruoxue.
