"Princess, Princess..."
Feng Yin called out several times before Xiao Li came back to his senses.
"What happened to the princess?"
Feng Yin's attention was on the princess and he didn't see the figure that flashed by. Seeing Xiao Li staring at the empty alley in a daze, he couldn't help but call her.
Xiao Li was feeling uneasy. She hated this feeling which rarely appeared in her. She was not afraid of the obvious danger, but she did not like the feeling of being out of control.
She looked very closely at the face that she loved so much.
Suddenly he pulled Feng Yin over and pressed him against the wall.
He was half a head taller than her, but at this moment he was completely controlled by Xiao Li, which was very pitiful.
Xiao Li's extremely aggressive gaze swept from top to bottom, revealing the innocent wide-open eyes, round and straight nose, and plump and beautiful lips due to shock.
"Princess~~"
Feng Yin raised his hand stiffly, not knowing whether he wanted to hug her or refuse her, but he didn't dare to touch her.
"Oh!"
Xiao Li sneered, not knowing whether he was laughing at him or himself, and then kissed him.
It was meant to vent, without any mercy.
Feng Yin's hand, which he tried to resist slightly, was grabbed by her and pinned to his head, forcing him to endure her domineering kiss.
After Xiao Li had kissed her enough and felt comfortable, she let him go.
The good kid probably had never been bullied like this in his life. Tears welled up in his eyes, and the tears were about to fall. He looked shocked and shy, and looked even easier to bully.
Xiao Li pinched his face: "Tsk, you look even better when you cry."
Feng Yin's tears finally fell. He didn't hate what she did to her, it was just too exciting and a little bit unbearable.
The two came out one after the other. Xiao Li walked in front calmly, and Feng Yin followed behind with small steps like a young wife.
Hongyue and Rong Qing, who were guarding the alley entrance, stood stiffer than the other. Ah... they heard nothing and saw nothing.
Although Feng Yin was stunned by the kiss, he had not forgotten what he was going to do. He took Xiao Li to the largest lantern tower, where many people had gathered, mostly literati and scholars, all for the most gorgeous and exquisite lantern.
This year's King of Lanterns is the Eight Treasures Gentleman Glass Lamp, painted with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, with inscriptions by famous artists. It has glass as the frame, silk as the screen, and is embellished with pearl and jade tassels, which is gorgeous and elegant.
It looks like it was expensively made, but it cannot be bought with money.
Those who want to participate in the competition for the King of Lanterns have already started registering three days ago. After getting the topic, they write an essay and submit it to the person in charge, who will review it. Only those whose knowledge is recognized can come to this building today to answer questions and compete for the King of Lanterns.
Xiao Li looked up and saw four other lanterns hanging next to the King of Lanterns: a white crane, a koi carp, an ink orchid, and a golden snake, representing the Feng family, the Wang family, the Xue family, and the Shangguan family respectively.
This proves that this event was organized by these four companies.
And what those talented scholars were fighting for was not just the King of Lanterns, but also official resources.
Xiao Li asked Feng Yin, "Which year were you the champion?"
Feng Yin: “Two years ago.”
really.
The building is circular in shape, four stories high, with a total of six rooms on the four floors. There is a separate staircase leading in. Inside is a large main hall with two side rooms and two compartments, the area of which is comparable to that of a small house in an ordinary person's home.
Pushing open the window, the fence is right opposite to where the King of Lamp is hung. Looking down from here, the crowds of people underground look as small as ants.
The hollow ground in the circular building is a platform of about 100 square meters. The front is more than one meter high, and you can see the second floor when you stand up. The back floor is more than two meters high, and when you stand on it, it is level with the second floor.
All participants compete first on the first floor. The winner goes to the next floor, and those on the upper floor have to compete again to decide the winner.
Not only can you see and hear clearly in the room on the fourth floor, but there are also special people who copy articles and send them up.
Who will be the champion tonight will ultimately be decided by these four.
There was a list on the table. Xiao Li took a look at it. She didn't know these people very well, but she had heard of most of their names. It was when Wang Shiqi gathered a group of people to perform at the Wang family's house, and Wang Wanqing introduced them to her like a treasure. Only then did she hear of some of these names.
The list was very detailed, including name, age, family background, literary talent, and even appearance.
It can be said to be very rigorous.
Xiao Li sat by the window and watched the competition downstairs. Although the classical Chinese text was a bit difficult to understand, it was quite interesting when he savored it carefully.
However, Feng Yin next to him was a little restless. He didn't bring Xiao Li here to let her watch the game downstairs.
But seeing that she was in a good mood, I didn't want to disturb her.
Xiao Li glanced downstairs. The lights there were brighter than in the daytime, but it was a bit far away and he couldn't see clearly.
"Hongyue, bring me my telescope."
"OK."
The doorman was carrying a box containing the things Xiao Li needed to take with him when he went out.
Hongyue quickly found a long cylindrical object and took it in: "Princess."
Feng Yin was curious: "Is this a telescope?"
Xiao Li put the hands on his eyes and looked down, and sure enough, he saw many familiar people.
On the third floor on the left sat the King of Wei and his cronies, and walking upstairs was the King of Yanping, accompanied by two middle-aged men.
The King of Southern Qi didn't see it, but Xiao Li saw Wang Wanqing. There was a young man next to her. The man was chatting and laughing with the people behind him. Wang Wanqing looked back, seeming to be very disgusted and impatient, but she could only endure it.
Xiao Li took a look and turned away, searching again, but this time he saw some unfamiliar faces.
He put down the telescope, turned around and saw Feng Yin with a curious look on his face, and handed it to him: "Take it and play with it."
Feng Yin: ...Why does it seem like you are teasing a child?
But this thing really made him curious, so he didn't refute it, but instead looked at it like her, and was instantly amazed.
"It can actually see so far, it really lives up to its name."
Seeing the look of surprise and surprise on that tense and serious face, Xiao Li couldn't help but laugh. This face was still interesting to look at.
Feng Yin looked at the people downstairs, and Xiao Li stared at him, which was quite harmonious.
"Young Master."
The servant who followed Feng Yin came in: "Sir, the eldest lady and her husband are here. They want to come in."
Hongyue stood beside Xiao Li and was obviously talking about the same thing.
"What are they doing here?"
Feng Yin frowned and stood up randomly: "Princess, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."
"Let them in." Xiao Li said.
Feng Yin didn't want to be disturbed: "Princess, don't put up with it. I'll just tell my sister."
How can you tell that she is compromising?
"I haven't seen your sister in a long time, and I'd like to talk to her."
In fact, she wanted to meet He Changyu. She had no other intentions. She was just curious and wanted to see who was the person who had deceived Feng Yu and the entire Feng family.
