The Lady of the Red Chamber
Chapter 64
Guessing lantern riddles naturally comes with prizes, and most of the prizes for the Lantern Festival are unique and rare lanterns.
Just like the stall they were standing at.Hanging on the top is an exquisite beauty lamp, which is half the height of a person.The eyebrows, eyes, lips and cheeks are all outlined vividly.After being placed on the candle inside, the beauty's bright eyes shine brightly, and every frown and smile seems to come alive.
Yun Qing slowly looked up at the beauty lamp, grabbed Yun Qingyu's sleeve and pointed at the top, excitedly said: "Second Brother, Second Brother, I want that, you help me win it back."
Yun Qingyu glanced at it.
A total of 120 or eight lantern riddles were hung under the lamp, and the finger-length papers with lantern riddles floating in the wind.If you want to get the Lantern King, you must guess all these lantern riddles correctly.
Yun Qingyu immediately had a bitter face: "Slow down, ancestor, don't embarrass me? I think, I have to have this ability."
The eleventh prince was watching from the side, seeing that Yun Qing wanted slowly, he took two steps forward: "Let me try."
Situ Jin brushed those lantern riddles with her fingers, and after thinking for a while, she said the answer to the lantern riddles in her hand.
Not surprisingly, the eleven princes answered all 120 eight lantern riddles correctly.
The stall owner took down the huge lantern with a smile, and handed it carefully to the Eleventh Prince: "This lantern has been made for five years, and it was a pair back then. Five years ago, a young master and a young lady came to my place." At the stall, there was a secret contest, no winner. In the end, due to a tie, the young man gave up the lantern to the young lady. After five years, no one won the other beauty lantern. It's a great pity. Now that you have got this lantern, you must keep it well."
The eleventh prince took the lantern and nodded with a smile: "Naturally."
Then he handed the lantern to Yun Qingxuan's hand: "Cousin, do you like it?"
Yun Qing slowly took the lantern, looked left and right, and raised her hand nervously, for fear of accidentally breaking the lantern: "I like it, thank you Your Highness."
The eleventh prince looked at Yun Qingxuan, raised his hand to straighten Liyun Qingxuan's accidentally messed up hair, and kept a distance, not only showing intimacy, but also not feeling frivolous: "It's as long as my cousin likes it."
At this moment, Lin Daiyu and Meng Xiuchang also walked over from another stall with their favorite lanterns.
They took a fancy to the green bamboo lanterns and mountain stone lanterns on the same stall. They were also a pair of king lanterns, vivid and lifelike.Being hung high on the top, no one has the strength to care about it for many years.
Not to be outdone, Daiyu and Meng Xiuchang answered all the lantern riddles like a competition, and finally got it in their pockets.
Yun Qing slowly held up her own lantern, looked around Daiyu, and then placed the lantern in her hand beside Daiyu's lantern: "Cousin, our lanterns match well."
Yun Qingyu glanced at it, and was happy: "It's really a good match. Looking at it this way, it looks like a beauty standing beside the bamboo forest, looking back and smiling slightly, with her jaw in her mouth and her head bowed."
When Yun Qing heard it slowly, she was happy.Holding the lantern and holding Lin Daiyu's hand, he continued to run on the street, and stopped in front of a stall selling hairpins.
Yun Qingyu stood behind the two of them, squinting at the Eleventh Prince and said, "Your Highness, Xu Xu is really lively. I don't know how his husband will stand her in the future?"
Meng Xiuchang raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the eleventh prince.
As the mother's family of the Sixth Prince's Concubine, the Meng family is the backbone of the Sixth Prince's Party, not to mention knowing His Highness's plan like the back of the palm of their hand, but also fully aware of it.
He also knew that Noble Concubine Yunhui intended for the young lady of the Yun family to marry into the royal family and become the concubine of the eleventh prince.
From the current point of view, the Eleventh Prince is obviously very satisfied with this doll who has not yet passed the enlightenment path.
However, as an elder brother, Yun Qingyu, even if he sees the future is going well, he will worry about what will happen in the future, and the eleventh prince will become the heartless Chen Shimei, who treats Miss Yun badly.So every once in a while, Yun Qingyu would ask one or two cryptic questions, testing the Eleventh Prince's attitude.
Of course, the Eleventh Prince never disappoints.
For example, at this time, he put his hands behind his back, looked at Yun Qinghuan who was pulling Daiyu to pick out hairpins, and said softly, "My cousin has such a natural nature, so why should I suppress it? That's not the same as those ordinary It's no different for a noble girl. If you can't stand your cousin's temperament, what qualifications do you have to be her future husband?"
Yun Qingyu was very happy to see the eleventh prince saying so.Seeing Yun Qingxuan picking and choosing, hesitating, sighed: "Huanxuan has been spoiled by our family since she was a child. When she went to the academy, I was worried that she would argue with those noble girls because of some trivial matters. It's a disadvantage. It doesn't matter if we pamper her at home now, I'm afraid that she will marry someone in the future, and there will be no husband who tolerates her and loves her as much as we do."
At this moment, Yun Qingxuan just picked up a celadon hairpin carved with magnolia flowers, compared left to right, and took advantage of Lin Daiyu's inattention, inserted it into Lin Daiyu's hair.
Lin Daiyu was obviously caught off guard by Yun Qingxuan's move, and turned her head to look at Yun Qingxuan.Yun Qing smiled slowly and patted Lin Daiyu's shoulder, not knowing what to say.
Lin Daiyu touched the hairpin, picked up the mirror and looked at it, and finally turned her head to look at Yun Qingxuan, her face full of praise and praise.
The eleventh prince looked at this scene, his clear eyes gradually softened, as if filled with starlight: "There will be. Cousin will definitely find a husband who loves her, loves her, protects her, and indulges her in the future. No worries, just like a boudoir, a life of freedom."
A few people were tired from playing, and seeing that it was almost time, they decided to go to Tianxiang Tower to wait for the fireworks.
Pushing open the door, Yun Qingchi and Liang Yiheng had already been sitting inside, cooking tea and reciting poems facing each other.
Liang Yiheng glanced at the beauty lantern in Yun Qingxu's hand, lowered his head and smiled, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: "I also won a beauty lantern during the Shangyuan Festival five years ago. I didn't expect it , this other beauty is now being slowly won over."
Yun Qingxuan suddenly realized, and looked at Liang Yiheng with his eyes, and then at Yun Qingchi: "It turns out that the young master and young lady that the stall owner said five years ago were the elder brother and the senior sister. Let me just say, this capital city has nothing but you. How could anyone find such an amazing person?"
Yun Qingchi glanced at Yun Qinghu, and said calmly: "Your Highness won this lantern for you. You should study hard when you go back, and you can fight for it in the future so that you can get the Lantern King with your own strength."
Yun Qing smiled slowly and embarrassingly, and didn't dare to speak.
Instead, the eleventh prince sat beside Yun Qingxuan, pushed a stack of snacks in front of Yun Qingxuan, and excused her: "Qingchi, you are just too strict. It's still the new year, so I urged my cousin to study . nor give her a break."
Yun Qing chewed the pastry slowly, and nodded in agreement.
Yun Qingyu was terrified by Yun Qingchi, and immediately followed suit: "That's right. What His Highness said is too reasonable. You should have fun during the Chinese New Year. It's not too late to talk about reading or something after the New Year."
Meng Xiu often looked at Yun Qingyu's laziness, and sent out a soul crit: "A Yu, tomorrow will be the new year. We should go to study at the Sixth Prince's residence."
Yun Qingyu: "..."
The cloud cleared slowly, both Lin Daiyu and Liang Yiheng couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Yun Qingyu's unrequited appearance, Yun Qingchi couldn't help curling the corners of his lips.
The door was pushed open again, and Princess Huining walked in.
Seeing that everyone was there, Princess Huining couldn't help but look back at the door, and then turned her head to count the figures in the room one by one: "It turns out that I was really the last one."
The Eleventh Prince signaled Princess Huining to sit beside him and poured her a cup of tea: "Xinhong, did you win the Hongtao Spear?"
When Princess Huining heard the Eleventh Prince asked about this matter, she was a little annoyed: "Don't mention it."
Picking up the teacup, "Hululu" drank it down in one gulp, Princess Huining couldn't help pouring another cup.After pouring the third cup, Princess Huining put down the teacup, and said angrily, "Jiatai is really too much. I had picked eight games in a row, and I was almost winning. She is fine, seeing me If you want to, you actually sent the Second Emperor's personal guards on stage."
No matter how powerful Princess Huining is, he is only a child less than ten years old, how can he beat the guards of the second prince's mansion.
Meng Xiuchang had never been able to rub the sand in his eyes, so he couldn't help it when he heard this: "This is a game we play. Princess Jiatai sent his personal guards to play, this is too..."
No rules anymore.
The corner of Yun Qinghu's mouth twitched.
She finally found out that Princess Jiatai really can change her tricks every time to lower her perception of shamelessness.
The Eleventh Prince was unhappy seeing Princess Huining, and comforted him: "Don't be angry. I remember that there are some high-quality weapons in the mother's warehouse. I will look for them later and send them to you."
Princess Huining tugged at her hair irritably: "As long as I think about how soon I will go to Mount Wutai with her and spend a year with her day and night, I feel uncomfortable."
Yun Qing nodded understandingly: staying with someone like Princess Jiatai, I would really feel suffocated for a second.
The eleventh prince rubbed Princess Huining's head, but did not speak.
Just then, there was a loud noise outside.
After Yun Qinghuan heard it, she immediately stood by the window and looked up at the dark night sky above.
A gorgeous firework rose slowly, blasting a meteor-like light in the distance.Immediately afterwards, one after another fireworks rose into the night sky.You chase after each other, scrambling to bloom and stretch in front of others.
All the people on the streets of the capital stopped their steps, put down their work, and looked up at the starry sky as bright as day.
The eleventh prince stood beside Yun Qingxuan, looking sideways at Yun Qingxuan's focused face.
At this moment, Yun Qing raised her head slowly, staring at the fireworks in the sky without blinking.
The flickering light shone on her face, Yun Qing slowly pulled Lin Daiyu to point to the sky excitedly, and refused to miss it for a moment.
Seeing that Yun Qingxuan's neck seemed to be a little stiff, Situ Jin hesitated for a moment, and put his hand on Yun Qingxuan's neck through the brocade handkerchief, pressing gently.
Yun Qing slowly felt the relaxation of her meridians, turned her head and looked at the Eleventh Prince with a smile.It is full of smoke, with a glance of ten thousand years.
Just like the stall they were standing at.Hanging on the top is an exquisite beauty lamp, which is half the height of a person.The eyebrows, eyes, lips and cheeks are all outlined vividly.After being placed on the candle inside, the beauty's bright eyes shine brightly, and every frown and smile seems to come alive.
