Chapter 258 Lantern Festival
"Hmm?" What does this mean?
Mei Susu didn't quite understand, but Xuanyuan Che changed the subject: "I heard that Shangjingxuan has launched a new kind of pastry today, so it's a good opportunity for me to take Susu there to try it."
Hearing that there was something delicious, Mei Susu immediately approached Xuanyuan Che coquettishly: "What delicious food?"
I have already put what happened just now behind me.
Xuanyuan Che called her a little glutton, and she would know the truth when she got there.
The carriage swayed to the place, and Xuanyuan Che chose a place with few people and stopped the carriage.
Mei Susu thought they had arrived and was about to get off the carriage holding the rabbit lantern.
Xuanyuan Che pulled her back and put the prepared veil on her.
"There are many people here today, so I want Su Su to stay with me all the time. Don't run around. Got it."
Mei Susu blinked her smart eyes and nodded obediently: "Susu knows, Susu will never run around."
"Susu, be good."
The two got off the carriage together, Xuanyuan Che holding the rabbit lantern in one hand and holding Mei Susu in the other.
He was tall, and the rabbit lantern looked delicate in Mei Susu's hand, but in his hand, the rabbit lantern seemed smaller.
All around were people holding lanterns to attend the lantern festival. The lanterns in their hands were of various colors, which were dazzling to look at.
But after looking around, Mei Susu still felt that her rabbit lantern was the most beautiful. After all, she had won it through a battle of wits and courage at Shangjingxuan, and it was different from the paper lantern.
This rabbit lantern from Shangjingxuan not only has a lifelike rabbit shape, but it is also obviously worth a fortune at first glance.
The rabbit's ears are outlined with a circle of white velvet and dotted with pearls. The rabbit's eyes are made of red agate and painted with flower patterns. The rabbit's body is also painted with various floral patterns, and pearls are pasted on some places. At first glance, it is magnificent.
Even the handle of the lantern was wrapped with gold thread and decorated with brocade ribbons. On the entire journey, the lantern in her hand was the most beautiful.
"Cheche, I heard that there is a Lantern Goddess dancing on the river during this Lantern Festival. Do you know who the Lantern Goddess is this year?"
Xuanyuan Che's eyes fell on the river, where many lotus lanterns were floating.
He said in a very calm voice: "Susu will know in a while."
"My lady, please buy a lotus wishing lantern. This little wishing lantern of mine is very effective. I promise that after you release this lantern, all your wishes will come true!"
Passing by a stall selling lotus lanterns, the vendor stopped Mei Susu and others and introduced his lotus lanterns.
Mei Susu turned her head and saw lotus lanterns of different sizes placed on his stall. They were shaped like lotus flowers, with a wick in the center of the lotus pistil.
Apart from the size, the color is different.
Mei Susu asked him, "Why are there different sizes of lotus lanterns when they are all the same? Is there any explanation?"
The vendor said quickly, "My dear, think about it, everyone else is releasing small lanterns. Once you release your big lantern, it will be very conspicuous. The Lantern Goddess will be able to see your lantern among the colorful little lotus flowers at a glance, and she will be able to help you realize your wish sooner."
Mei Susu glanced at Xuanyuan Che and saw a smile in his eyes.
I guess they think that this small vendor would say anything just to sell lanterns.
Mei Susu finally bought the biggest lantern and borrowed a brush from the shop owner next door who wrote couplets. She then wrote the words "Su" and "Che" on the petals.
"Let's go light up the lanterns!".
Mei Susu excitedly pulled Xuanyuan Che towards the river. Xuanyuan Che was holding the lamp and was pulled forward by her. His eyes were as soft as a pool of spring water.
"Slow down, there are too many people."
Just as he finished speaking, a man came quickly from behind and almost bumped into Mei Susu.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Che was quick enough to pull Mei Susu back into his arms. Otherwise, even if she wasn't knocked to the ground, she would have been hit on the arm and got bruises.
The other party apologized to Xuanyuan Che and Mei Susu with an apologetic look.
Xuanyuan Che's eyes were cold and his whole body was filled with chill, which frightened the other person so much that he stuttered.
Mei Susu patted Xuanyuan Che's chest and whispered to him that it was okay, and that he hadn't been hit yet. Look how scared the girl was.
Xuanyuan Che suppressed the coldness in his body and protected Mei Susu as they walked towards the river.
After this incident, Mei Susu learned her lesson and stopped running. There were too many people around, and if she bumped into someone, given Xuanyuan Che's temper, he would probably throw the person into jail for a few days.
The two did not go to crowded places, but chose an inconspicuous place near the bridge.
Xuanyuan Che lit the lantern, held the lantern with Mei Susu, and then placed the lantern onto the water.
It snowed yesterday. Although the temperature has risen today, there are still some ice chips on the river.
Many lanterns were blocked by ice and came to a standstill.
However, the lotus lantern carried by Mei Susu and the others had a smooth journey and soon disappeared from sight.
Watching the lanterns drift away, Mei Susu exclaimed, "I didn't make a wish!"
As she was about to chase him, Xuanyuan Che held her back: "It's okay, I promise."
Mei Susu turned around and said, "What wish did Cheche make? Tell me about it."
Xuanyuan Che pinched her palm and said, "As you girls say, if you can't express your wish, it won't come true."
I never thought Xuanyuan Che would learn this trick. Mei Susu curled her lips and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Even if you don't tell me, I know what Cheche has wished for."
Mei Susu chuckled, turned around, stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Xuanyuan Che's neck, and with her cherry-red lips, she leaned close to his ear and whispered.
"Cheche must have made a wish to live in peace with me forever, right?"
Xuanyuan Che smiled and hugged her slender waist. It has been a while since he last had a close relationship with the little girl.
His throat tightened and he hummed softly.
Mei Susu guessed correctly and was naturally happy: "I knew it."
At this time, the sound of musical instruments came from behind, and everyone cheered and ran to the bridge.
Yueya said excitedly: "My lady, it's the boat of Lady Lantern."
Mei Susu had long wanted to see who this Lantern Goddess was and how beautiful she was.
So he urged Xuanyuan Che to go to the bridge.
Xuanyuan Che grabbed her waist and flew up. They were already at the bottom of the bridge, and immediately landed in the center of the bridge.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Che was a master of martial arts and the two men were well dressed, everyone knew what was best for them and didn't make trouble.
Mei Susu leaned against Xuanyuan Che with the guardrail in front of her. She looked at the flower boat slowly approaching from a distance and leaned forward excitedly.
It was not until the flower boat came closer that Mei Susu saw people dancing on the deck.
Her eyes narrowed and her mouth hissed softly.
Why is it her!
Everyone was extremely excited and praised the Lantern Goddess for her beauty and charm, unparalleled in the world.
Mei Susu looked up at Xuanyuan Che, silently asking him if he was dazzled.
Xuanyuan Che nodded at her: "Susu was not mistaken, it was her."
Gong Anyan, the Goddess of Lanterns, is actually Gong Anyan!
"she is not......"
do you died?
She clearly remembered Xuanyuan Che saying that Liu Gao went to see Gong Anyan off for the last time, and later Zhuiying also reported that Gong Anyan was killed by people sent by the King of the Northern Territory.
Why does she appear here again? She looks like a dancer.
