After coming out of Yipinzhai, it was already dark and it was the lights that were just on.

There were two more people, and the team became Emperor Minghui led Chong Ge'er in front, Liao guarded the side to protect the carriage, Chu Ying and Lu Yun continued to walk in the middle, Lu Mingyu and his wife were still holding their hands behind. However, Lu Mingyu had no intention of watching the lanterns anymore, and his eyes were always on the front, Emperor Minghui and his aunt.

Chu Xing saw his wife's concerns, but he felt that his wife's concerns were completely unnecessary. The emperor looked at Lu Yun repeatedly tonight, and after dinner, he suggested that he continue to follow them to appreciate the lanterns. His wife might not be able to see it, but he has been by the emperor for many years and is still somewhat sure of guessing the holy intentions. Once Emperor Minghui wants something, others can no longer stop him.

His eyes swept across Lu Yun, and Chu Xing thought of the dream of Emperor Minghui last year. No one knew that his wife and the three of them were going to burn incense beforehand. Emperor Minghui decided to go to the temple to solve his doubts because he dreamed of the genius of Anguo Temple. When he arrived at the temple, he met Lu Yun. Besides, Lu Yun died of labor in his previous life. In this life, he remarried Yao Jiting under the arrangement of his father-in-law, but the result was not satisfactory. He met Emperor Minghui again tonight. Perhaps this is the fate of heaven?

Although he was reborn and Chu Xing was still not very loyal, Lu Yun was favored by the emperor, and the emperor was the heaven.

"Are you cold?" Chu Xing asked in a low voice tightly with his wife's hands, and the carriage followed behind him, with a cold-resisting cloak inside.

Lu Mingyu finally gave her husband a little, shook her head with a smile, and then continued to stare at the front. Chu Xing frowned secretly, not loving that she was too worried about Lu Yun's affairs, but she was outside and it was inconvenient to speak here, so she could only find a question to talk to her every once in a while.

Lu Mingyu gradually realized his strangeness. Chu Xing never said so much. When Chu Xing asked her again if she wanted to buy a lantern, Lu Mingyu raised her head in confusion. Chu Xing smiled helplessly and lowered her head in her ear and said, "Concentrate on watching the lanterns, it may not be convenient to go out on the night of the Lantern Festival."

Lu Mingyu suddenly realized that he had seen his strangeness. Looking at Chu Xing's handsome face illuminated by the light, Lu Mingyu suddenly felt guilty. He was alone in a deserted person, and was coaxed by her to wear a crimson robe, just to accompany her to enjoy the lamps and relax, but she only cared about her aunt's affairs and ignored him.

"Yeah." I calmed down, Lu Mingyu smiled softly at him, and tried to hold her little hand back, but Chu Xing stopped him domineeringly, and he prefers to hold her small hand in the palm of his hand.

The couple began to whisper and discuss the lanterns on both sides. Occasionally, a sound came to the front, and Chu Ying quietly turned around and saw that her brother had gentle eyebrows and his sister-in-law smiled like a flower. She was also happy, but Lu Yun next to her was listening to her brother talking to Emperor Minghui.

"Does Chong'er like lanterns?" Emperor Minghui held the boy's fat hand and his eyes faintly flew over the lamp shop on both sides.

Brother Chong is quite familiar with Emperor Minghui now, so he treats him as an ordinary elder and shakes his head and says, "Brother Heng says girls like to play this, I prefer dragon boat racing, but my third sister-in-law says that the Duke can shoot lanterns and can shoot through the rings. I want to see him shoot."

Emperor Hui of Ming had also heard of Chu Xing's style back then. He smiled when he heard this. While looking back, he asked Chong Ge'er in a voice that could be heard by a few people behind: "The Duke of the Kingdom is called by an outsider, and Chong Ge'er is the fifth uncle, why don't you call his name directly?"

Brother Chong touched his head and looked at Chu Xing shyly.

Chu Ying and Lu Yun moved to both sides at the same time to prevent them from blocking their sight. Chong Ge'er continued to look at his niece, but Emperor Ming Hui looked at Lu Yun quickly. The lanterns, and the lights also turned into colorful colors through various lantern papers. Lu Yun tilted his head to enjoy the lanterns, with a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, smiling at his joke just now.

Emperor Hui of Ming felt that her smile would be the most beautiful scene he had ever seen tonight.

After watching the person he really wanted to see, Emperor Minghui looked at Chu Xing and his wife hypocritically. Fortunately, the lights were dim and no one noticed that his drunkard was not about wine.

While walking and chatting, we came to the bank of Liangshui River without realizing it. The Song family Lantern Building was on the other side of the shore, and the group had to pass by the arch bridge. The moonlight was gentle and the lights were romantic. The lights were better to see the lights on the bridge, so the arch bridge was full of people. If you want to cross the bridge, you could only squeeze through the middle.

Liao Shou walked on the left side of Emperor Minghui and helped block people. Emperor Minghui held Chong Ge'er with one hand and secretly paid attention to the back. The stone bridge had been built for many years, and the bridge deck had been bumpy. Even if Emperor Minghui was driving the road in front, Lu Yun and Chu Ying were staggering. Walking to the middle of the arch bridge, the family standing in front of the guardrail to enjoy the scenery had enough to leave. Her husband was holding a four or five-year-old child in his arms, and the child was holding a string of candied haws in his hand. Lu Yun only looked at the road, but did not notice. Suddenly, Emperor Minghui let go of his younger brother in front and reached out to her with his big hand.

Lu Yun was stunned, and then he was pulled to the front by Emperor Minghui, "Be careful."

The man's low and steady voice was in his ears. Lu Yun subconsciously turned around and saw a boy licking candied haws. There was no danger. Lu Yun turned to Emperor Minghui in a daze. Emperor Minghui smiled and let go of her arm, and said to the child: "The bamboo stick is sharp, raise it high and be careful to pierce others."

The child blinked, suddenly turned his head and continued to eat his own. The boy's father saw that they were wearing silk materials and did not dare to provoke them, so he hurried away with the child in his arms.

Only then did Lu Yun realize that he was almost stabbed by a bamboo stick, so he quickly lowered his head and thanked Emperor Minghui: "Thank you, Master Qi."

"Small matters, Ah Jun is careful." Emperor Minghui said softly.

Ah Yun...

He actually called her boudoir name?

Lu Yun raised his head in shock, Emperor Minghui's eyes were like water, and he glanced at her for a short time, and took Chongge'er to lead the way again. Passers-by came and went on both sides, Lu Yun instinctively followed the man, but his mind was full of Emperor Minghui's "Ajun", and his eyes that seemed... gentle and affectionate.

Seeing the man holding his younger brother's big hand, Lu Yun suddenly felt confused.

Even though the two had known each other for a long time, she had married once. He was the elder of his niece, not her elder. It was not appropriate to call her boudoir name directly? And he was clearly in front of him, how could he find out that she was in danger so timely? Could it be that he had been paying attention to her?

Why pay attention?

Lu Yunxin was a little panicked, there was a guess, but how could that be possible?

The bridge deck under her feet was concave, and Lu Yun wandered around for a while. She no longer dared to think about it and walked with all her heart.

After getting off the bridge, pedestrians on the road were evacuated, but they were finally not so crowded.

The group came to the Song family Lantern Building smoothly. Xu Chengrui and Lu Jinyu and his wife had arrived. They came out to welcome the guests with a relaxed expression. Unexpectedly, the door opened, and the first thing they saw was Emperor Minghui dressed in a regular costume. Lu Jinyu saw him, but Xu Chengrui was shocked and had to kneel down without thinking.

"Forget it, I just heard that there is a lively place here tonight. Come out and see it temporarily. You can reward it as much as you should. Don't be disappointed because of my defeat." Emperor Hui of Ming said approachable. After saying that, he led Chong Ge'er into the private room, leaving Liao Shou and Chu Xing explained.

Xu Chengrui often faced the saint, and after being shocked, he quickly calmed down. Lu Jinyu learned that it was the current emperor and was nervous and dared not even say anything. Lu Mingyu laughed at her timidity. Seeing a screen in the elegant room, she led the female relatives there like a master, and the men and women watched the lanterns separately.

The bustle is outside the window.

This year, the lantern show at the Song Family Lantern Building has new styles. It is not to guess riddles or to shoot archery to win the lantern. Instead, a lamp stand similar to the word "gold" was built in the river water in front of the lantern building. There are six floors in total. The bottom layer is hung with colored paper lanterns in the shape of the twelve zodiac signs, each worth twenty cents. The second layer is hung with nine fifty cents, and the third layer is hung with seven lanterns worth one cent. There are five copper lamps on the third layer, one for one and two taels, and the second layer is placed with three jade candlesticks, each worth ten taels. The top... is a golden lotus candlestick!

The lottery heads were all out, and followed two lantern shop men, one of them carrying a lottery bamboo tube, and announced the rules of the lantern show. The two who got the same number of bamboo sticks stood on the competition stage, and the game was about winning and losing. The winner could draw questions from the copper basin to make things difficult for the other party. The other party did it, and the lamp was his, otherwise it would be the questioner.

Anyone can participate in the lower three levels. If you want to participate in the upper three levels, you need to pay one liang, two liang, and five liang of silver. Finally, a new rule was added to the round of the golden lotus candlestick, that is, if the answerer fails, the drawer must complete the challenge as well, otherwise both of them will lose and others will come to the stage.

"What's the point of answering questions?" Lu Jinyu muttered to her sister in a low voice, "It's just a different way of playing riddles."

Lu Mingyu stood in front of the window and watched the guy below distribute bamboo sticks, and was also puzzled.

Soon, the first pair of people who won the Lanterns in the competition came on stage, one was about thirty years old, and the other was only twelve or thirteen years old. The young man lost the game and sighed suddenly, and everyone felt that the person who accepted the challenge would definitely suffer. The middle-aged man thought so too, and excitedly groped in the copper basin for a while, picked out a ball of paper and handed it to the Lantern House clerk.

The guy opened it in front of everyone and said aloud: "Everyone counts to five. The challenger needs to turn five times in the five sounds, stop and stand firmly, and then win."

As soon as these words came out, the people burst into laughter.

Lu Mingyu also smiled, and she knew that the lantern show in the Song Family Lantern Building must not be that simple and boring.

In this round, the people were biased towards the young man and deliberately shouted very slowly. After five rounds, the young man stood firmly and successfully won a zodiac lantern. The following challenges include those who asked to walk in a straight line with their eyes blindfolded, those who asked the answerer to hold the question and squat three times in a row, which attracted the public to cheer. The entire Liangshui River is the most lively here.

It was the turn of the above three floors to pay money to participate, and ordinary people became spectators, and the challenged topics gradually became unsolvable, but they were also interesting.

Chong Ge'er lay in front of the window, his eyes were bright, and he endured for a moment, but in the end he couldn't help it and looked at his niece secretly. The men here were the emperor and the two were nieces, but Chong Ge'er knew that he was closest to the prince's grandfather and niece son-in-law.

"Brother Chong also wants to play?" Emperor Hui of Ming noticed the boy's little movements before Chu Xing and asked in a low voice.

Chong Ge'er nodded excitedly.

Emperor Hui of Ming smiled slightly, approached Chong Ge'er's ear, and gave a few words softly.

Among the three boys in the Lu family, Heng Ge'er is the most naughty and sensible, and has a lot of tricks. Nian Ge'er is the smartest in studying, smart but sensible, not as unscrupulous as his brother. Only Chong Ge'er is the strongest, but simple-minded, and is often encouraged by Heng Ge'er to do bad things, such as putting bugs in the drawer of a teacher...

Now that the old fox Emperor Minghui was provoked, Brother Chong immediately ran to the screen and pestered his sister and asked her to take him downstairs to play.

Lu Yun whispered to his younger brother: "You can't do anything, and you can't win even if you go up."

"I just won with a child." Brother Chong was playful and insisted on dragging his sister to go there.

Lu Yun was soft-hearted and couldn't help but entangle his younger brother. He first stabilized his younger brother, and then asked whether his two nieces were walking with him.

Lu Mingyu wanted to join in the fun, and Lu Jinyu advised her: "You should stay there with your body and stay honestly, let's go with your aunt."

Lu Yun also persuaded him.

Lu Mingyu looked at his belly and agreed. Chu Ying was so quiet that she stayed on it to accompany her sister-in-law.

Lu Jinyu called her husband Xu Chengrui and accompanied Lu Jun and his brother downstairs.

The three of them left shortly after they left, Emperor Minghui left his seat with a smile and said to Liao Shou: "Let's go, let's go down and take a look."

Liao Shou immediately obeyed the order, and he would do whatever the emperor asked him to do, and never thought about anything else.

A man had to be guarded in the private room. Chu Xing sent the two out of the private room and watched Emperor Minghui walk to the stairs. The spring breeze descended proudly. Chu Xing finally showed a complicated smile on his lips, saying it was ridiculous, but without any disrespect. He just felt that the dignified emperor of the Nine Five had such a hard time chasing a girl, which was a bit...

Not like the emperor he knew.

"Leave?" Lu Mingyu walked to the door of the court, looked out, and his eyebrows were filled with sadness.

When Chu Xing saw her like this, he was stunned and suddenly laughed out loud, with a bright smile in his eyes as bright as the spring breeze.

Lu Mingyu was worried about his aunt. Seeing him smiling so happily, she thought it was both beautiful and inexplicable, "Why are you laughing?"

Chu Xing just rubbed her head and brought her back to the door, feeling happy.
