At this moment, Ning Xuanyan had completely forgotten how he had sat on the steps in front of Wen Yu's door with tears streaming down his face, and then broke down and left the princess's mansion.
Ning Xuanyan stared at Wen Yu, bad woman.
Wen Yu praised herself as a genius. Wasn't this riddle tailor-made for Ning Xuanyan?
It couldn't be more suitable.
The emperor asked curiously, "Sister, is there any particular order to the riddles?"
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers pricked up their ears.
They actually want to know too.
Is it status? Is it ranking? Is it likeability? Or something else?
Wen Yu was very surprised: "Is it necessary to be particular? There is no need to be particular. They are all my people. I can talk to whoever I think of. They are human beings, not written numbers. It is enough to keep it in mind. Why do I need to sort them all the time?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren and the others looked at each other tacitly.
"However, my royal brother, this is where you are wrong."
"Is it my fault again?"
"Of course."
The emperor admitted the false accusation: "Okay, it's my fault."
Although I don’t know what’s wrong, I’ll just admit it first.
Wen Yu accused: "You are deliberately provoking disputes. I will fine you five hundred taels."
emperor:……
He didn't do it on purpose this time; he was just genuinely curious.
After the lantern riddle guessing is over, everyone can move freely in the park.
Wen Yu brought the men to the lake where the lanterns were lit and called out Yu Yi as well.
There were already many young ladies and gentlemen from official families by the lake, all of them closing their eyes and making wishes.
Not only do people fly flower lanterns, but they also fly Kongming lanterns.
Wen Yu chose a place with few people.
"Lantern or Kongming lantern?"
Ning Xuanyan said: "Wen Yu, do you still believe this?"
However, although he said this, he honestly took the Kongming lantern in his hand, then picked up the pen and started writing without thinking.
It seemed that this wish had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
Lu Ren said: "I want a Kongming lantern too."
Yue Lingfeng smiled and said, "I heard that the higher the wish flies, the easier it is for God to see it."
Jiang Qi remained silent upon hearing this. He did not believe in God, but at this moment, he wanted to believe it.
Yu Yi said: "I also want a Kongming lantern."
Lin Yuzhi was very quiet. He stroked the lamp silently and picked up the pen.
Wen Yu looked around.
"What happened to the lanterns? No one chose the lantern."
Yue Lingfeng said, "Princess, it is said that the farther the lanterns float, the more likely the wish will come true, but this lake is inside the palace, so no matter how far the lanterns float, they will never leave the palace."
Wen Yu: ...
What about the lanterns lit by those young men and women?
After they have written down their wishes, they will release them together with Wen Yu.
This really made Wen Yu very tired.
The flames flickered, and several sky lanterns slowly rose into the sky, carrying everyone's wishes.
"I only wish your heart is like mine."
"In life and death, I will always be with you."
"May you live forever, and may spring come to you every year."
"I will always be with you, till we grow old together."
"I wish to win the heart of one person and stay with him till we grow old together."
"May I be like the stars and may you be like the moon."
…
In the princess's mansion, Luo Han stood in the courtyard, and a Kongming lantern slowly rose into the air from his hand.
In a remote town, Bajie stood in the noisy crowd, looked up at the starry sky, and then slowly put his hands together: "Stall owner, I also want a Kongming lantern."
At the border, Yang Cheng stroked the mirror frame with his fingertips and slowly wrote on the Kongming lantern.
In a small village, a sixteen-year-old boy had some confusion in his eyes, but he still followed his inner desire and got a small Kongming lantern from the market.
…
"You are so mysterious and you won't even show me what you wrote?"
Wen Yu looked up at the Kongming lantern flying higher and higher.
Lu Ren asked, "Didn't the princess say that wishes won't work if they're seen by others?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows and suddenly said, "Stretch out your hand."
Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his right hand and couldn't help laughing and said, "Princess, are you going to hit my palm?"
Wen Yu asked, "Am I that bad?"
Lu Ren lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "The princess has beaten Lord Jiang many times."
Wen Yu: ...
She blinked: "Is that called beating? Ask Jiang Qi, is it beating or pampering."
Lu Ren: ...
Wen Yu patted Lu Ren's right hand: "It's the other way around, give me your left hand."
Hearing this, Lu Ren stretched out his left hand again, and was extremely obedient. He asked, "Princess, do you have to distinguish between left and right when you hit my palm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the fourth finger of his left hand suddenly become cold.
A cold metal object was put on his finger, fitting tightly around it. His heart actually contracted violently at that moment. An indescribable and wonderful feeling surged up from every part of his body.
He lowered his eyes and saw that it was Wen Yu who pushed a polished silver ring with a simple and plain pattern along his fingertips.
Lu Ren was stunned.
He suddenly remembered the foxtail grass ring that the princess had woven with her own hands, which he still kept well.
Wen Yu held his hand. Lu Ren's slender and powerful fingers were decorated with a plain ring, and he suddenly felt the abstinence and restraint of a husband.
"Princess?"
Wen Yu said: "Legend has it that the fourth finger on a person's left hand has a love vein that leads to the heart. Wearing a ring on the ring finger symbolizes the eternity and loyalty of love."
"When you wear this princess's ring, you are bound by me for life. You will be mine from now on. Are you willing to..."
Before Wen Yu could finish her words, Lu Ren hugged her in his arms, and his arms were shaking with nervousness.
His tone was unstable but extremely firm, with a hint of uncontrollable ecstasy: "I do! I am willing to be encircled by the princess for the rest of my life!"
Wen Yu touched Lu Ren's head, and then found that the men around her were staring at her with different eyes.
But without exception, their eyes inadvertently swept across the ring on Lu Ren's ring finger, and then locked on Wen Yu's face.
In silence, everyone seemed to be waiting for Wen Yu's verdict.
Wen Yu showed all her rings: "Why are we making the atmosphere so tense? We have them all! Let's have fun!"
