Your Majesty, You Can't

The carriage carrying the two most distinguished figures of the dynasty stopped not far from the Town God's Temple.

Zhao Yin poked his head out and looked curiously at the lively Town God's Temple, "Father Xiang, is this the temple fair tonight?"

"Yes," He Lanzhi got out of the car first, and followed Zhao Yin's gaze to look over, "The reason why the folks can have such a lively temple fair is because the country governed by His Majesty is prosperous and prosperous."

Zhao Yin jumped down from the carriage, and when he landed firmly, he patted He Lanzhi's hand hanging beside him, "Even if Xiangfu praises me so much, I won't give you a salary increase."

"..." He Lan was at a loss for words, and retorted a little depressed, "I didn't mean that..."

"I'm just kidding, Xiangfu's reaction makes people laugh hahahaha," Zhao Yin laughed a few times to himself, and found that He Lanzhi didn't laugh with him, so he had to stop laughing awkwardly, for the sake of Covering up the silence, he changed the subject, "I'm visiting the folks in private with my father, should I change my name?"

"That's what Your Majesty said."

"Then I call you..." Zhao Yin pursed his lips. He really couldn't call He Lanzhi directly in front of him, so he had to try to change the address that didn't look so awkward, "I... I call you He Brother Lan?"

He Lanzhi stared at the little emperor's wrinkled tender bun face, and couldn't help but chuckled, "This is too blunt to call it. If Your Majesty wishes, you can directly call Weichen by his name."

"Azhi? Brother? Brother?" Zhao Yin called several times in a row, and finally showed an expression as if he had found a satisfactory address, "Zhen... I'll call you Brother in the folks. Xiangfu... Brother, don't say things like 'My lord, Your Majesty', just change your address."

He Lanzhi rubbed his hands in his heart excitedly, "Can I forgive you for calling Your Majesty 'Xiao Yin'?"

Zhao Yin couldn't help frowning when he heard this address by his first name. It is reasonable to say that this is a disrespectful thing, but when he thinks about the age gap and relationship between them, there seems to be nothing wrong with this address.

"Then follow along, brother."

"Thank you... Xiaoyin for your kindness." He Lanzhi smiled and took the little emperor's soft hands, "Then let's go, Xiaoyin?"

Zhao Yin nodded, and ordered the guards protecting the emperor and the prime minister to disguise themselves as ordinary people so that they could blend in with the crowd and protect them at any time.

At that time, the night had not yet fully fallen, and the twilight in the capital was very pleasant. The rosy dusk filled the air, and at the end of the sky was still a brilliant golden color, like a warm wave rolling.Bright red lanterns are hung along the street, giving pedestrians a warm orange light.

It was the first time for the little emperor to visit the folks, and he showed great curiosity about everything around him. He pointed to the papers hanging under the lantern that had been or had not been guessed riddles, "Brother, what is this?"

He Lanzhi patiently explained, "These are lantern riddles, which are very popular during the Lantern Festival. Why don't Xiaoyin go up and guess?"

Zhao Yin eagerly took He Lanzhi's hand and walked quickly to the lantern riddle. On the rice paper that was dimmed by the light into a warm yellow, there was a poem "Luohua people stand alone, and little swifts fly together".

Guess a word.

After finishing the lantern riddles, Zhao Yin stroked his chin and began to think carefully. In contrast, the elder brother next to him just stood there with a dazed expression on his face.

Was it so difficult for the ancients to guess lantern riddles?Are you sure ordinary people can understand such an elegant lantern riddle? ?

"I figured it out!" When He Lanzhi was still doubting his IQ, Zhao Yin had already confidently reported the answer, "It's the word 'two'."

"Young master is so smart." A gentle male voice standing behind the two said loudly. He Lanzhi turned around and saw that the voice was a handsome and elegant Confucian son.

"It's just an anagram," Zhao Yin glanced at the person who interrupted without permission, and said indifferently, "This young master is absurd."

"But the anagrams I came up with are only the young master who has answered correctly so far." The Confucian scholar smiled and handed the little emperor a bunch of candied haws.

Zhao Yin saw the candied haws for the first time, and wanted to reach out to take it, but he was afraid that it would be dangerous for strangers to get close, so he could only pull He Lanzhi's robe beside him, and motioned He Lanzhi to take it for him.

He Lanzhi thought that the little emperor was afraid of strangers, so he smiled knowingly, and took the candied haws from the Confucian scholar's hand, "Thank you, dear brother."

"You're welcome," the Confucian scholar seemed to want to make friends with the smiling and elegant young man in front of him, and suggested to the two who looked like brothers, "You two should have just come to the temple fair not long ago? Would you like to take the two of you for a stroll? ?”

"No need, thank you for your kindness." Before He Lanzhi could say anything, Zhao Yin answered first, "We like two people more, right brother?"

"Indeed." He Lanzhi looked at the emperor's arrogant expression, so he could only apologize to the Confucian scholar with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness."

"Then I wish you two a good time, and we will meet again by chance."

"Goodbye."

He Lanzhi nodded slightly to the other party, and then took the little emperor's hand and left the lantern riddle area.

"Xiaoyin doesn't like that person?"

As He Lanzhi asked, he handed the candied haws in his hand to Zhao Yin.

"I don't like to be disturbed." Zhao Yin looked at the snacks wrapped in bright red icing in his hand, "Brother Zhi, what is this?"

"Candied haws, a folk snack. However, the ones given by others on the street may not be clean enough. If Xiao Yin likes them, we can go back and ask the cook to make them."

Zhao Yin also agreed with He Lanzhi's words, and casually rewarded the candied haws to a drooling child at the roadside stall, "Seeing that you really want to eat it, let me eat it for you."

The child's slobbering face froze for a moment, and then a grateful light burst out in his eyes, "Are you really sending me?!"

"of course."

"Thank you, young master!" The child happily took the candied haws and started to lick them, "But my father said, you can't take other people's things for nothing. How about this, I invite you to play a game of fishing for goldfish, my father just opened this stall of."

"Oh?" Zhao Yin was just a child after all, and he became interested when he heard about playing, "How did you play?"

"I'll show you."

Holding the candied haws in his mouth, the child mumbled, picked up the wire circle that was covered with a layer of paper, and skilfully picked up a small goldfish with the paper net, "Like me, use this to catch fish."

"It's too easy." Zhao Yin snorted lightly, "Give me a net."

The child laughed and handed the little emperor a paper net, "Most of the guests said so, but most of them didn't get any."

"I'm different from them." Zhao Yin replied without raising his head, and quickly fished out a small herring that was swimming happily.

The little herring was captured by Zhao Yin in one fell swoop, and jumped a few times in the paper net.Before Zhao Yin could proudly show off to the children, the little herring jumped through the fishing net shamelessly and fled back into the water deftly.

"The truth is, you are like most people." The child shrugged, "Thank you for the candied haws."

Zhao Yin was slapped in the face by the words he let out on the spot, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "I want to play again!"

"Ten pennies and three nets." The child held out three fingers while sucking on the hawthorn.

The rich and powerful little emperor said boldly: "Give me thirty nets directly, and I must catch this fish today."

It was the first time that He Lanzhi saw such a crazy little emperor, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and resignedly took out his own money to pay for the little emperor who was addicted to fishing.

It should be said that Zhao Yin's words came true, but I don't know whether he should be said to be self-aware. After breaking 29 nets, the No. 30 little emperor finally caught this little herring. His expression looked extremely excited, with a small face Under the warm light, it is red and cute.

"How is it!" The little emperor handed the little herring to the child, "Isn't it amazing?!"

"The guest officer is really amazing, so amazing." The child swallowed the last candied haws, and handed the little emperor a small bamboo bucket to hold the fish, "Thank you for coming."

Zhao Yin was not annoyed when he received such unintentional compliments, and happily carried He Lanzhi with a bamboo bucket to continue shopping.

He Lanzhi raised his eyes to look at the sky that had darkened unknowingly, thinking that the time for the fireworks that he had heard earlier would be coming soon, turned around and pointed to a high platform that was rarely visited by people in the temple fair, and said mysteriously: "Xiaoyin, I Take you there to see the same surprise."

"What surprise?"

He Lanzhi held Zhao Yin's hand tightly, "Xiao Yin will know if you come with me."

Zhao Yin glanced at him puzzledly, but didn't say much, just squeezed his hand back secretly.

He Lanzhi took Zhao Yin up the steps, and the steps under his feet led to a high platform raised from the ground.The two walked to the top to see the bustling scene of the temple fair.

The night has fallen, looking at the sky is a gorgeous starry sky, and in the distance is a colorful sea of ​​lights.The Milky Way and the sea of ​​lights complement each other, and at the end of the sky, it seems that the two parts are perfectly blended together.

There were only the two of them on the high platform, Zhao Yin stood on the high platform overlooking the scenery, "Father Xiang, this is..."

Before the words fell, the fireworks exploded into the sky.The dark golden rain splashed down in the sky, and the sky was as bright as day for a moment of glory, followed by countless oncoming stars, and then quickly disappeared.

Clusters of fireworks surrounded the night, showing the most splendid moment of the night.

Zhao Yin stared intently at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, until after the first round of fireworks ended, a gentle male voice came from his ear.

"What does your Majesty think of the place I chose?"

Zhao Yin turned his head to look at He Lanzhi, his eyes inadvertently met the other's bright black eyes, and his heart skipped a beat at that moment.

The bright stars, the bright moon, the flickering fireflies, and the fading lights all flicker like Helan's moving eyes.

The second round of fireworks resumed after a brief pause.

But Zhao Yin no longer had the heart to appreciate the fireworks.

Only He Lanzhi's gentle voice rang in his ears.

"How does His Majesty feel?"

"I think..." Zhao Yin stared at He Lanzhi's dark eyes, and replied slowly, "It's beautiful."

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in the dim light.
