The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

Chapter 464: The Palace Maid Who Stole the Emperor's Power (67)

Colorful lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, and as far as the eye could see, one could not see the end of the long street.

Not to mention the restaurants and teahouses, even the various roadside stalls were filled with people.

At first glance, the capital city is indescribably prosperous and bustling.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared on the street, led by a couple in silk clothes.

Everyone paid attention to them, firstly because this group of people looked extraordinary and did not look like ordinary people.

Those servants walked steadily, with sharp gleams in their eyes, and they were all well-trained fighters.

The second is that the couple surrounded by several servants are really eye-catching, especially the woman. The seemingly ordinary clothes make her figure look particularly well-proportioned.

That face, those eyes, were even more enchanting than the most popular courtesan in Cuihonglou!

As they walked, several men couldn't help but look back again and again.

Among them, several are already married. Today is the Lantern Festival, and they finally took their wives or the whole family out to play. But they ended up behaving like this, and were often twisted ears by their wives.

As a man, Xiao Chenjing was naturally more aware of these secret gazes.

He glanced at the more presumptuous gazes around him in a warning manner, took half a step forward, and helped Ruan Miaomiao block most of the sight.

"what happened?"

Ruan Miaomiao, who knew nothing, didn't notice the situation around her and was a little out of focus.

Ever since she left the palace, her heart has gone completely crazy.

If Xiao Chenjing had not asked her to promise to stay by his side after coming out, she might have been attracted by the various stalls nearby.

Xiao Chenjing did not tell the truth, but took her somewhere else to divert her attention.

"I, ahem, I see some really nice lanterns over there, would you like to buy some and take them back?"

"How beautiful is it?"

Could it be better than the ones made by the specialized lantern craftsmen in the palace? Ruan Miaomiao didn't believe it.

But curiosity drove her to leave the place...

"Is this the particularly beautiful lantern you mentioned!?"

Ruan Miaomiao was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks unconsciously, and looked at Xiao Chenjing with an angry face but unable to speak.

The lantern in front of her was the rabbit lantern that could be seen everywhere. Although its shape was small and exquisite, it was far inferior to those lanterns with more complex shapes and lifelike appearance.

Xiao Chenjing just walked in a random direction without paying any attention to this side, and he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Humph, I haven't made a wish yet, but I want the most beautiful and realistic lantern to be released by the river..."

The more she spoke, the more guilty Xiao Chenjing felt.

At this moment, he had already forgotten who had persuaded him to come out to play in the first place. He just felt that if it weren't for him, there would be so many lanterns in the palace for Ruan Miaomiao to choose from at will.

On the contrary, now, she can't find anyone who catches her eye.

Just as he was thinking about how to explain to Ruan Miaomiao, Mu Zian, who followed him out and was dressed as a butler, spotted a lantern with a butterfly resting on a flower bud hanging high above a crowded stall.

Although not as complex and exquisite as those in the palace, the lanterns were brightly colored and bold in use, so they were very eye-catching throughout the street.

He pointed over there from a distance and said, "Masters, how about that lantern?"

Naturally, the butterfly lantern was not so good as to catch Ruan Miaomiao's eye, but it was just special among the common lanterns.

In addition, there were many more people gathered there than in other places, and everyone seemed to be heading for the lanterns. How could Ruan Miaomiao, who loved to join in the fun, miss it?

So the original 5 or 6 points of likes has become 8 or 9 points.

Ruan Miaomiao's eyes lit up, "This is great, I'll take this one!"

Finally there was a lantern that satisfied her, so Xiao Chenjing naturally would not refuse, so the group walked in the direction Mu Zian pointed.

Seeing more and more people coming over, the owner of the stall was almost grinning from ear to ear.

But with so many people, the question becomes who to sell to.

What a sweet trouble!

"Don't worry, don't worry. Everyone wants the flowers for the lanterns, so let's follow the rules of our Xiao Kingdom's Lantern Festival."

When Ruan Miaomiao and the others approached, they saw the stall owner suddenly jump onto the table where lanterns were being sold, pointing at the butterfly lanterns high up and speaking.

The posture was quite flexible, forming a contrast with his tall and strong stature.

Many of the people who gathered here were here to join in the fun, just like Ruan Miaomiao.

It is not necessary to have this lantern, but it is put up now, otherwise it will appear weaker than others in momentum.

Before I knew it, at least seven or eight families wanted this lantern.

"Hello, boss. I wonder how much this lantern costs? We can offer three times the price."

Originally, Xiao Chenjing didn't know the specific situation, so he gave a look and asked his men to go buy it.

But who would have thought that after hearing what they said, the boss' eyes widened and he exhaled heavily through his nostrils.

Given his physique, many children around the stall subconsciously took a few steps back.

"I've already told you that according to the rules, what is essential for the Lantern Festival? Guess it!"

He waved his hands fiercely and refused without hesitation: "Even if you offer ten or a hundred times the price, I will not sell the lanterns to you. If you don't want to participate, then sorry, please leave here and give others a chance!"

"Okay! Then let's use a riddle to decide where the lantern will go!"

Apart from those extremely talented people, what Xiao Chenjing admires most is those who stick to their principles, have principles and value fairness.

The people at this stall don't look like they are from Xiao Country. If you listen carefully to their accent, you can hear a hint of Hu accent.

"Hahahaha, little brother, that's a very straightforward statement. A man should be like this. Giving the lanterns you win with your own ability to your wife is what we call a token of our love."

The stall owner gave Xiao Chenjing a thumbs up, and his eyes lit up when he looked at Ruan Miaomiao next to him.

"You are so lucky to have such a beautiful lady! I wish you can win the riddle and bring the lantern back to make the lady happy, hahaha."

He was obviously different from the person who had peeked at Ruan Miaomiao before. Although he was also amazed by Ruan Miaomiao's appearance, he was just admiring her.

Who doesn’t have a tigress in their family?

Ruan Miaomiao was originally unhappy because she failed to buy the lantern, but when she heard him praising her and he called her "Xiao Chenjing's wife", her mood instantly became cheerful.

Although the stall owner in front of him did not know Xiao Chenjing's true identity and called him brother, he was also not aware that only the queen was worthy of the title of Xiao Chenjing's wife.

But Xiao Chenjing didn't object, right?
