He then won all the levels and guessed thirty riddles correctly, which was ten more than the second place.

The shopkeeper quickly struck the gong and drum: "Now I declare that the winner is this girl, and this year's lanterns belong to her."

The shopkeeper laughed heartily and took down the lantern hanging at the highest position and gave it to Chu Weiyue.

Chu Weiyue held the child in her arms with a bright smile and immediately brought him to Wen Jingchi.

"This lantern represents love. Anyone who gets the lantern will receive the blessing of the flower god. I hope I can grow old with you!"

Chu Weiyue's eyes were filled with love, and the burning fire of love seemed to ignite everything. She placed all her love in front of Wen Jingchi.

Wen Jingchi's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Because Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi were so famous in the capital, their love story spread throughout the streets and alleys.

A commoner recognized her with sharp eyes: "Isn't this Chu Weiyue? How come she suddenly became so powerful?"

"It's really Chu Weiyue. Why did she confess to the prince again? But isn't she a complete novice?"

"She is really willing to sacrifice herself for love. She must be studying hard every night just to pursue the prince!"

…

The people burst into laughter and started to make a fuss nearby.

Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue were trapped in a circle, unable to move forward or backward.

"My Lord, please agree to my request for my love. My love for you is clear to all..."

The more Chu Weiyue watched, the more she found Wen Jingchi interesting, and she continued to perform in an exaggerated and enthusiastic manner.

Wen Jingchi was immediately furious and lowered his voice to scold: "Chu Weiyue, don't embarrass yourself here. Only men give lanterns to women, not women to men. Do you want to confuse yin and yang and make me a laughing stock?"

Chu Weiyue blinked and retorted innocently: "Your Majesty, now that everyone is watching, if you walk away in anger, you will be rejecting everyone's good intentions!"

Wen Jingchi was so angry that he clenched his fists, and veins on his forehead were visible, as if he had punched cotton.

The people cheered loudly and the atmosphere reached its peak.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Jingchi finally couldn't stand the pressure and silently took the lantern.

"I accept the lantern, but it doesn't mean I..."

"Your Majesty, if you accept my lantern, it means you accept my pursuit!" Chu Weiyue tilted her head and danced happily, just like a devoted pursuer.

Wen Jingchi couldn't bear everyone's gaze and turned away from the crowd.

The people soon dispersed, and the four came to a small bridge.

After looking at the sky, Song Qiuchang sighed: "Everyone, beautiful scenery is always short-lived. Let's stop here today. It's getting late and we should all go back to rest."

Wen Jingchi had wanted to leave a long time ago, but after all, the two women came out with them, and he was worried that it would be dangerous for them to go back alone late at night.

"Wait a moment, the guards will be here soon. Ask them to send you two back." He said in a light voice and glanced at Chu Weiyue with contempt.

Shen Mubai said nonchalantly, "Why bother? It's just right for two grown men to send these two little women off, isn't it?"

Then, he looked at Song Qiuchang tenderly: "Miss Song, why don't I take you back? How do you think?"

Song Qiuchang was stunned for a moment, nodded shyly, and did not forget to give Chu Weiyue an unfathomable look.

Chu Weiyue smiled complacently, with a barely perceptible cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, just send me back. Let's go."

She didn't care and took Wen Jingchi's arm.

Wen Jingchi pushed her away immediately like a decent woman who was being teased, and deliberately kept a distance of one meter between them.

Chu Weiyue found it even more amusing and kept moving closer to him. Finally, Wen Jingchi accepted it with no hope in his life and walked side by side with her on the street.

Looking at Wen Jingchi's profile, Chu Weiyue's expression darkened. Sooner or later, she would find out everything about this man!

After walking for a while, Wen Jingchi discovered that Chu Weiyue, who had been chattering in the crowd just now, was so quiet at this moment.

He glanced at her sideways and frowned again.

Chu Weiyue at this moment gave him the illusion that she was unfathomable... and when guessing riddles today, her unstoppable arrogance and talent were completely different from the Chu Weiyue of the past!

"Your Highness, the way the prince looks at me, could it be that you have fallen in love with me?" Chu Weiyue suddenly looked up and teased with a gloating look.

"Even if I never marry, I can't have such poor taste!"

He glanced at her arrogantly and walked ahead in a haughty manner.

The two of them didn't speak along the way, each with their own thoughts.

When I walked to the end of a street, I suddenly saw a white figure flashing, and this person looked a little familiar.

Chu Weiyue stopped and looked to the left, and sure enough, he saw a shadow hiding.

"Don't be nosy." Wen Jingchi stretched out his long arm, blocking Chu Weiyue's way and motioning her to continue walking.

Although I was curious, I didn't think much about it and strode towards home.

When they walked away, the white shadow just now walked out quietly.

The prince clenched his fists, his teeth were chattering, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to explode.

"Did you see clearly, it was them two, right?" the prince angrily questioned his men.

"I have seen it clearly, it is indeed Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue!"

"It is extremely despicable that these two thieves and whore meet here secretly so late at night!" The more the prince thought about it, the stronger the hatred and humiliation in his heart became.

If he hadn't seen them walking together intimately with his own eyes today, he would have really believed that there was a tension between the two.

It seems that they were all acting in the past. In fact, Chu Weiyue, this fickle bitch, had already hooked up with Wen Jingchi a long time ago, and just made him wear a huge green hat!

After a moment of thought, the prince suddenly sneered: "Go, follow my orders..."

After hearing his instructions, his men quickly went about their business, and within one night, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

The next morning.

As soon as Wen Jingchi went out to attend court, he saw several men talking on the street.

"Big news! I heard that the Ninth Prince had a secret meeting with Chu Weiyue during the Qiqiao Festival last night, and they returned to the Ninth Prince's residence together to have a secret meeting! Have you heard about it?"

"Of course I heard about it! But how did Chu Weiyue take over the Ninth Prince so quickly? Didn't he always refuse?"

"What do you know? I heard that they have been together for a long time. Chu Weiyue's father is a marquis. Even if you hate him, you have to rush. This is related to the succession to the throne!"

"Isn't this Crown Prince definitely cuckolded? This Chu Weiyue is not only a nymphomaniac, but also such a perverted person."

…

At the end of the conversation, they all laughed and treated it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
