After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Yan Changqing bent down and picked up Yan Jinyang.

"Brother Yang, why are you here?"

Qin Yaoguang poked his little face and asked in surprise.

Although they were only separated for a little over an hour, she still couldn't stop feeling happy when she saw Yan Jinyang's rosy little face.

Meeting him in the mansion and meeting him on a busy street are two completely different feelings.

"My second brother said he wanted me to guess which lotus lantern it was!"

Yan Jinyang twisted his body in Yan Changqing's arms, pointed to the place where the riddles were to be guessed, and explained to Qin Yaoguang in a baby voice.

"The son has seen his father and mother."

Yan Yuanan came over to greet him, followed by Yan Shiyan and Qu Liang.

"Mother, my eldest brother took my fourth sister out shopping, and Master Fang went with them."

Yan Shiyan took the initiative to explain.

Qin Yaoguang nodded: "You don't have to be restrained when playing outside, go and guess the riddles."

She said to Yan Changqing, "Let's go release river lanterns."

The children might not be able to relax with them around.

The place where the river lanterns are placed is not far from where the lantern riddles are guessed.

One is at the bridge head and the other is on the shore.

The people selling river lanterns were an elderly couple. One collected money and the other distributed the lanterns. Their hands and feet were not very nimble, but fortunately everyone had infinite patience tonight.

The river lanterns are all made in the shape of lotus stands, and they are exquisite and beautiful when lit.

Qin Yaoguang held the river lantern with both hands, carefully placed it into the calm river channel, and watched it slowly drift away.

The one that Yan Changqing placed followed closely behind, as if it was the most loyal guard, escorting her lotus lantern to blend into a large group of river lanterns.

Under the cover of night, the river lanterns bloom quietly on the river like stars, just like the stars in the sky falling into the mortal world, flashing a soft and mysterious light.

Qin Yaoguang squatted beside the river, hugged her knees with her hands, and quietly watched the lotus lanterns slowly drifting away on the river.

Yan Changqing stood beside her, blocking the crowd and creating a quiet little world for her.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from above.

Among them, there were also screams.

Yan Changqing looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes suddenly became stern: "It's the place for guessing lantern riddles."

"Come on!"

Qin Yaoguang was anxious and immediately stood up and looked towards the shore.

The children are still up there, please don't let anything happen to them.

The crowd was shadowy, as if someone was pushing and shoving each other, and it was no longer as orderly as before.

"No hurry, watch your step."

Yan Changqing half-hugged her as they walked and soon arrived at the bridge.

The lantern riddle guessing stalls were surrounded by three layers of walls, and many people stretched their necks to watch the excitement.

Yan Changqing pushed the crowd aside and protected Qin Yaoguang as they walked to the innermost part.

I saw two people confronting each other under the double-decker table lamp.

One of them is Yan Yuanan.

The other man was about the same age as him, with a handsome appearance, and his looks could rival Yan Shiyan.

Behind the two men stood the people they brought with them.

The screams from the crowd just now were because the other party's guards pushed Yan Yuanan.

At this moment, Qu Liang held Yan Jinyang in his arms, while Yan Shiyan stood half a step in front of Yan Yuanan with a vigilant look.

Qin Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were fine.

Yan Changqing wanted to step forward, but she grabbed his sleeve and shook her head gently, telling him not to be anxious.

She and Yan Changqing even hid deeper into the crowd.

Qin Yaoguang recognized at a glance that the person confronting Yan Yuanan was the fourth prince born to Queen Xie, and the eighteen-year-old eldest prince was standing behind him.

Next to them were more than a dozen palace guards in disguise.

It was perfectly normal for the two princes to go out of the palace for fun during the Lantern Festival.

If they don't show up, we can pretend not to know them.

Let's take a look at what happened first.

Unlike how he was respectful in the palace, the Fourth Prince now had an arrogant look on his face. He looked at Yan Yuanan with his chin raised, not taking him seriously at all.

"Today is my birthday. If you give me this lamp, it will benefit you."

In the eyes of the Fourth Prince, let alone a lamp, even if his life was threatened, he would have to obey orders.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yuanan just shook his head slowly: "Since it is a lantern riddle guessing game, there are rules for guessing lantern riddles."

In his hand was the lantern riddle on the flowery paper below the tower lamp: "I guessed the riddle, this lantern is mine."

"you!"

The Fourth Prince clenched his fists in anger.

If his mother had not repeatedly warned him not to reveal his identity among the people before he left, he would have made this disobedient and unruly citizen kneel down and admit his mistake!

The shop owner who was guessing riddles stood by at a loss, wanting to persuade the customers but not daring to.

He has been in business for many years and has an excellent ability to judge people.

Judging from the clothes alone, these two young masters in front of me are not easy to mess with.

It would be fine if I didn't try to persuade them, but if I go up to them and try to persuade them, what should I do if they point the finger at me?

During the stalemate, the eldest prince stepped forward and looked at Yan Yuanan with a gentle gaze: "Young Master, we are not being unreasonable."

"Today is indeed my brother's birthday. I hope you will give me a generous reward."

The Fourth Prince is of noble status. Let alone any mishap, even if he is just in a bad mood, he, as the older brother who takes his younger brother out, has the responsibility.

His mother's family had no power.

Thanks to the fact that her mother was an old lady in the emperor's palace and gave birth to a son, she was given the title of imperial concubine because of her son's status.

To this day, Concubine Su has long lost her favor.

His position as the eldest prince in the palace became very awkward, and he had to take the initiative to please Fengyang Palace in order to survive in the palace.

The crown prince is appointed based on the eldest son of the legitimate wife.

He had the title of the eldest son of the emperor, but he did not have the power of the eldest son of the emperor. How could he not be trembling with fear?

His mother told him that the matter of appointing a crown prince would ultimately depend on Situ Xie's opinion.

When the Fourth Prince grows up a little more, it will definitely be him.

Therefore, showing loyalty to the Fourth Prince is the safest and most convenient way.

As the eldest prince spoke, he took out a gold leaf from his purse and handed it to Yan Yuanan.

The crowd of onlookers let out sounds of amazement and envy.

"Wow! Gold!"

"It would be great if I was the one who guessed the riddle correctly. I would have enough food and drink for a year."

"Hey, it's our fault that we don't have the brains to do that. Just accept your fate!"

Yan Yuanan did not answer, but looked at the Fourth Prince and asked, "Is it really your birthday today?"

Although the Fourth Prince was well disguised, the jade pendant hanging around his waist had a coiled dragon pattern that very few people were qualified to wear, and the style of the palace belt made Yan Yuanan know that he was from the palace.

In the Princess's Mansion, Yan Yuanan was very familiar with the things made in the palace.

Furthermore, the elite soldiers protecting him were obviously not ordinary people, and their identities were obvious.

But this does not mean that he should be the one to give in.

He is right.

Seeing him asking, the Fourth Prince nodded angrily: "Of course! Do you think I am lying?"

In the palace, what birthday gift does he want?

It’s so rare to see a lamp that you like outside, but there are still people who refuse to let you have it.

You know, this world will belong to him from now on!

Hearing his affirmative tone, Yan Yuanan felt dazed for a moment.
