LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia
Chapter 164 You have 2 sisters, they all like sneak attacks, right?
Chapter 164 Both of your sisters like sneak attacks, right? (eight thousand words)
Lu Qi continued to lie down in the yard.
In recent days, the temperature has dropped a lot, and he also added an extra piece of clothing.
Similarly, Lacus and the others wore thicker clothes.
At this time, when the wind blows in the morning, although it is not so cold, it can feel a coolness.
Lie down for a while.
The other women also arrived one after another, and after meeting each other, they all said happy holidays.
Seeing that everyone was here, Lu Qi didn't lie down anymore, but got up from the chair and started preparing breakfast.
After breakfast.
Lu Qi began to arrange the yard.
After all, this day was his first holiday here, so Lu Qi also put some thought into the arrangement.
He found a lot of bamboo from outside, and then went to find tools.
Then he cut up these bamboos, cut them into thin bamboo strips one after another, and then weaved them skillfully.
It was rare for all the girls to see him not lying on that chair. Seeing this scene at this moment, they couldn't help being a little curious.
Lux came over and squatted beside Lu Qi, watching him weave several bamboo strips together, just like knitting a sweater.
There was a bit of curiosity in his eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"
Lu Qi replied without raising his head, "Make some lanterns."
Demacia lanterns are not common, and when he said it, Lacus and the others became even more curious.
Although I haven't seen the finished product, it must be interesting to make this guy bother.
The interested Lacus blinked and said, "Let me help too."
Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his head, glanced at her, and the curious girls around him: "Okay, it's not difficult to do this, I'll teach you."
It just so happened that it was quite troublesome for him to finish these lanterns by himself.
So, next Lu Qi taught them the technique.
The inner frame of the lantern is actually not difficult to weave. For beginners, it is enough to do the same.
Lu Qi's demonstration was very slow, enough for the girls to see clearly and learn carefully.
After weaving the frame, use thin ropes to fix the bamboo strips to each other, and then there will be a fixed place for putting candles inside.
The last step is to connect the bamboo strips together, and a circular lantern frame is formed.
After teaching these steps to a few girls, Lu Qi was busy with other things.
Compared with the skeleton of the lantern, the body of the lantern is the part that requires a little technology. Whether the final result of a lantern can be good-looking depends entirely on the outer layer of skin.
For this, Lu Qi asked Urna to buy some expensive paper.
Generally speaking, two different kinds of paper are needed to make the lamp body.
One is placed inside to reflect the firelight, and the red rice paper is pasted inside, and the candlelight is reflected from the hollow, which will look beautiful.
The other is the outside, which is the exterior of the lantern, on which you can draw some pictures, or make some paper-cuts, or write something.
Naturally, these were not difficult for Lu Qi.
In the following time, the girls weaved the skeleton of the lantern over there, and Lu Qi drew the outer body of the lantern on the other end.
"Your Highness, do you think so?"
The first to be woven was Frey.
She is a mother who has more ingenuity and mastery in these things.
For Lu Qi's teaching, it can be said that it is easy to understand.
Looking at the framed bamboo lantern in Frey's hand, Lu Qi nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's it, just put it here when it's done."
"Ah."
Frey responded and placed the lantern next to Lu Qi.
When she finished the first one, the others were not even half-finished.
As a result, Frey's side became lively, and people came up to ask for advice from time to time.
On Lu Qi's side, he began to paste the lamp stand and the lamp body of the lantern together.
As time went by, the lampstands of several women were made one after another and placed beside Lu Qi.
About 25 lanterns were made, of which Frey made six by himself.
At this time, all the girls gathered around Lu Qi, watching him skillfully paste the rice paper on the lantern.
After a while, 25 lanterns of different colors were ready, and the patterns on the outside of each lantern were different.
Some have a full moon painted on them, some have simple versions of cute animals drawn on them, and some have the word 'Yiqiu' written on them.
Seeing these finished products, the eyes of all the girls brightened.
Just from the appearance point of view, this lantern is very beautiful.
Lux suggested: "Let's light it up and see!"
Kashina nodded immediately: "Okay, okay!"
Then Sona, Vayne, Quinn all nodded, and eventually even Fiona joined in.
As one lantern after another was lit, Lu Qi, who had rested, looked at the lanterns they were holding in their hands, showing a speechless expression.
"It's broad daylight, even if you light it up, what can you see?"
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining overhead, and the golden sun shone down.
Even if the candles in the lantern are lit, there is no effect.
But the girls didn't listen to Lu Qi's words.
After all, the lantern in his hand was made by himself. Even though Lu Qi said that it is the best time to see it at night, they couldn't wait to see it.
But just like what Lu Qi said, the sun is so strong at this time, even if the candle inside is lit, no effect can be seen from the outside.
So the girls began to look forward to the night again.
Then Lu Qi started to arrange the lanterns in the yard.
25 lanterns were hung in the front yard, backyard and under the eaves of the house.
Even though it's not evening yet, as soon as these lanterns are hung, there will be a little more festive joy.
After finishing all this work, Lu Qi was about to prepare lunch.
After lunch, everyone gathered on the sofa in the living room, either sitting or lying down, enjoying the leisurely noon time after eating and drinking.
Lacus touched her somewhat round belly, with a satisfied expression on her little face.
After a while, she sat up energetically and looked at everyone with twinkling eyes: "There will be a celebration in the afternoon, should we go and see it?"
Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, when?"
Lux replied, "About three o'clock."
"It's still an hour."
Lu Qi glanced at the clock, and the hands were already leaning against two o'clock.
In other words, if we leave later, we can just catch up with the start of the celebration.
Faced with the proposal to go out to watch the celebration, Kashina, Wayne, Quinn, and Frey did not refuse.
And Fiona also decided to give herself a vacation after thinking for a while.
Only Sona chose to stay at home.
Everyone knew that she didn't like places with many people. Today was a festival, and there would only be more people outside.
So he didn't force her.
Around 02:30, the group set off with great enthusiasm.
It's just that no one noticed that Sona in the courtyard watched the carriage go away with envy flashing in her eyes.
Wangdu, on the street.
The lively atmosphere of the festival is overwhelming, the streets are full of voices, people come and go, and there is an endless stream.
Everyone had a happy smile on their faces and greeted each other a happy holiday.
This made the carriages a little immobile, so everyone simply parked the carriages and switched to walking.
Lu Qi and the others chatted and walked around, blending into the festive atmosphere.
On the way, it also attracted a lot of attention.
Not long after, they entered the street where the celebration was held.
The street and the square were isolated in the middle, and people could only walk around from the periphery. At this moment, the periphery was already crowded with people, with people's heads surging, and voices of conversation were everywhere.
Everyone is waiting for something.
Seeing so many people, Lu Qi must not be willing to squeeze in.
Even he is not happy, let alone Lacus, Fiona and the others.
However, this problem was quickly resolved.
As soon as Lu Qi appeared, he immediately became the focus of the audience, causing many people's attention to focus on him, which quickly caused a little sensation.
"Look! It's His Royal Highness!"
"Did His Royal Highness come to the celebration?"
"very handsome!"
"This is the first time I've been so close to His Highness, he looks so good!"
People's discussions kept ringing out, and their eyes fell on Lu Qi.
A few days ago, his deeds in Edessa City had already spread through the newspapers.
Now it can be said that no one in the capital knows his name.
It also allowed him, the prince who was born out of nowhere, to gain a wave of popularity.
The women around Lu Qi with outstanding temperament and their own characteristics also gained a lot of attention. Standing together at this moment, they are as eye-catching as a beautiful landscape.
The enthusiasm of the crowd made Lu Qi feel as if he had become a star. Hearing the words of those young and beautiful girls in the crowd praising him for his handsomeness, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
No wonder so many people want to be idols, who wouldn't be confused?
At this time, a soldier wearing armor and responsible for maintaining discipline stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there are seats for you and the ladies who are traveling with you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qi nodded, "No rush, I'll be there later."
And seeing his expression that obviously didn't hear enough, all the girls felt speechless.
Lacus rolled her eyes, and directly pulled his arm and walked over there: "Let's go, I don't feel ashamed."
Fiona glanced at him lightly and walked towards the seat.
Wei En followed behind. During this period of time, her relationship with Fiona was quite good, and the two seemed to get along quite well in terms of personality.
Kashina and Quinn looked at Lu Qi helplessly, and followed Fiona one after another.
Lu Qi was dragged to the VIP seat, which was an expanded rooftop with a wall, from which he could see the square and streets below.
There are also thoughtfully prepared chairs for him to rest, tea to drink, and pastries to eat.
Before the celebration started, everyone sat down to rest.
As he disappeared from people's view, the talk about him gradually died down, and the festival began to be talked about again.
"when!!"
Just as people were talking, a loud gong sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of the people present.
"It's started, come and see!"
When Lacus heard this, she immediately ran to the edge of the fence, lay there, and looked down with her big eyes twinkling.
Everyone also came to the wall one after another.
From a distance, a long team came slowly with gongs and drums.
In addition to those beating gongs and drums, there were also people with various musical instruments.
Many kinds of music are mixed together, but it is not harsh, but rather festive.
Soon, the crowd became lively with them.
And among these teams, there are complaining drummers wearing heavy cloth clothes and bare arms.
There are dancers with masks on their faces, dancing forward with the team.
In the team, there are also large carts, on which are various statues related to the Yiqiu Festival.
In the back, there are some women in special costumes dancing gracefully.
They were covered with a layer of very transparent long skirts, and their white and tender bellies and belly were exposed.
Demacians dress conservatively. At the moment, this kind of dress is already very bold, and I'm afraid it can only be seen on festivals.
The parade of this celebration has many patterns, and Lu Qi is quite interesting to see them one by one.
With the appearance of this celebration team, it directly brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.
After the parade, there were many performances in the vacated square.
With the performances one by one, everyone's minds were immersed in the celebration.
After watching several programs, Lu Qi glanced sideways at Miss Crown Guard.
At this time, Lux's face was full of laughter, and she would give applause for the show from time to time.
It can be seen that she especially likes such lively occasions.
Also happy with her is her best friend Kashina. The two girls are next to each other, very happy.
It was also the first time for Wei En and Quinn to watch the celebration in the capital, and they were fascinated by watching it now.
Fiona's gaze also fell on the square, watching the interesting program with a slight smile on her lips.
At this time, Lu Qi thought of Sona.
She must also want to participate in this celebration.
in the courtyard.
Sona's slender and slender fingers gently played on the strings of Yuhua, but compared with the practice in the past, today she seems a little absent-minded.
Even the sound of the strings is out of tune, but it is still beautiful.
After a while, she stopped and looked up in the direction of the celebration, thinking in her heart.
Right now, Your Highness and the others are already watching the celebration, right?
It's not that Sona doesn't like crowded places.
It's just that in crowded places, all kinds of voices are too noisy, and it will become very noisy.
So Sona didn't really want to face these sounds except for the concert.
At the age of 13, Sona went to see her first celebration in Demacia, but at that time, there were huge crowds of people gathered together, and a lot of heartfelt voices poured into her sea of consciousness in an instant.
The loud noises made her nearly faint, and she was soon brought home by her accompanying mother.
She hasn't been to the celebration since then.
However, in fact, she also likes lively celebrations.
She wants to watch it with everyone, and wants to watch it with His Highness.
Withdrawing her gaze, the loneliness in Sona's eyes flashed away, and then she showed a smile to comfort herself.
It's okay if you can't watch it with everyone.
Hasn't she always come here like this?
But before that, she didn't have so many friends.
Thinking about it, Sona was still distracted.
"You're really out of tune today, Sona."
At this time, a voice that was thinking in the mind at the moment suddenly sounded, making Sona stunned for a moment.
She looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and saw Lu Qi walking in slowly, and immediately showed a questioning look.
It seems to be asking, why come back now.
Lu Qi smiled: "Because today's celebration is very interesting, I can't wait to share it with you."
Sona was stunned, watching Lu Qi sitting aside, then put her hand on Yuhua, and began to talk about today's celebration.
At this moment, it seemed as if a warm enthusiasm emerged from this man, dispelling the coldness in her heart, and replacing it with a burst of sweet joy.
Although I couldn't go to the celebration in person, I could feel Lu Qi's heart, following his description.
The scenes of the celebration also appeared in front of Sona's eyes, and she seemed to feel the lively atmosphere.
Then, she blinked her eyes like water, and her eyes fell on Lu Qi's side face.
His eyelashes are very long, his handsome face is a little casual and lazy, there is a slight smile in his clear eyes, looking extremely soft, his rosy lips hooked charmingly, and he is talking about celebrations Funny scene after scene.
Gradually, Sona's attention shifted from the celebration to this face.
Stared at it for many seconds.
Inexplicably, a surge of courage emerged.
This time, without any hesitation, she leaned forward with her face.
"Bah."
"Then this time.???"
Lu Qi, who was explaining the ceremony, suddenly felt a moist tenderness on his face, and immediately asked a few question marks.
Then he turned his head and looked at Sona in front of him.
Sona's face was now more seductively rosy, and her watery eyes looked at Lu Qi without blinking, looking at his somewhat dull face, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Her pleasant laughter reached Lu Qi's ears through Yuhua.
Lu Qi came back to his senses, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Both of your sisters like sneak attacks, right?
There seemed to be some warmth on his face. Hearing Sona's happy laughter, he decided not to pursue this girl's sneak attack this time.
After laughing a few times, Sona looked at Lu Qi with twinkling eyes: "Your Highness, thank you for coming back to accompany me."
Lu Qi smiled, and then heard Sona's voice again.
"I still want to hear, celebration."
Lu Qi thought for a while: "Where did I just talk?"
Sona smiled and said: "It is said that there is a person who held a torch and spewed out a big fire with a wow."
"Well, at this moment."
Lu Qi continued to talk.
Then she felt her shoulders sinking, and it was Sona's head that leaned up gently. She closed her eyes, as if she was enjoying this moment.
Seeing that his voice had stopped, Sona urged in her heart.
"keep going."
"."
As a result, the only quiet thing in the courtyard was the voice of Lu Qi talking about the interesting scenes of the celebration.
However, he didn't wait for him to say much.
There was a sound of carriage driving, from far to near, and then slowly stopped.
Hearing this voice, Sona's body "stretched" and sat up straight, and then she heard the voices of Lacus and the others.
Her heart suddenly "thumped" faster, and her little face instantly became extremely red, with a somewhat nervous look on her face.
She tried her best to control her expression, but her slightly shortness of breath still betrayed the tension in her heart.
Soon, the girls got off the carriage and walked into the yard.
"Hey, sister Sona, are you teaching this guy how to practice the piano again?"
Seeing the two sitting next to each other, Lacus simply asked the question without thinking too much.
When Sona heard this, she immediately nodded her head like pounding garlic, but there was a bit of guilt in her eyes.
"What's the use of teaching him, this guy is terrible at playing the piano."
Lacus glanced at Lu Qi with disgust.
Sona immediately picked up Yuhua, stood up, and kept away from Lu Qi.
Kashina stepped forward and said with a smile on her face: "Sister, let me tell you, today's celebration is very interesting."
Sona listened and nodded, showing an expectant expression.
It's not the end of the celebration yet.
But she already knew that everyone came back early to accompany her.
In my heart, I was instantly moved.
At this moment, Fiona took a look at Sona, then at Lu Qi who was lying down and yawning, and could not help but squint her eyes.
Sensing the change in her expression, Sona raised her heart in her throat, not even daring to meet her eyes.
For some reason, in front of Miss Jian Ji, she always felt like she had done something wrong.
But Fiona just glanced at it, with a smile on her lips, and walked towards the backyard.
It is estimated that he went to practice swords.
Sona secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lacus, Kashina, and Quinn were still telling interesting stories about the celebration around her in the yard.
"You didn't see that person, took a sip of water, and then wowed, such a big ball of fire spewed out!"
"And that dance is also very good-looking, I learned a few times, sister, look at it"
"The penultimate show was also good. In the form of dance, it reinterpreted what happened between King Oren and Yarna back then."
Listening to the three girls chattering about the celebration beside him.
Sona gradually calmed down, with a smile on her face, feeling warm in her heart.
After a period of time, as the residual heat of the celebration passed, the courtyard also returned to normal.
Lu Qi, Lacus, and Wayne called Fiona, who was practicing swords in the backyard, and formed a pot of mahjong.
And Quinn, Frey, and Kashina went to Fight the Landlords.
Sona's playing came out from time to time, and the brisk music seemed to express her joyful mood at the moment.
night.
After dinner, in the backyard, in the hot spring pool.
As the white moonlight fell, everyone soaked in the pool one after another.
At this moment, they all raised their heads in unison and looked towards the sky.
There are few moons and stars tonight, only a full moon that seems to be brighter than usual hangs in the sky, which is surprisingly bright and beautiful.
Under such a moon scene, everyone's heart is as quiet as still water, immersed in the moonlight.
After soaking in the hot spring, everyone changed their clothes and came to the front yard.
At this time, the lanterns made during the day showed their effects.
At this moment, I saw the candlelight passing through the rice paper inside the lantern, reflecting the color of the whole lantern, and then emitting a soft halo under the moonlight.
These lanterns illuminate the yard brightly, and the effect is obviously many times better than during the day.
There is a festive atmosphere all at once.
The eyes of all the girls flickered, looking at the lanterns they made with their own hands, they were very happy in their hearts.
When it was about the same time, Lu Qi took out the gift box of mooncakes that he had obtained at the morning's check-in.
All the girls gathered around the table, looking at the round moon cakes one after another, very curious.
Lux picked up one and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Qi said: "Moon cakes are a kind of dessert, you should try them."
"Mooncake." Lux muttered, held up the mooncake, opened and closed one eye, and compared it with the moon above her head.
It seems that there is such a thing in common between the two.
Holding it in her hand, she could already smell the fragrance emanating from the moon cake.
So, I couldn't wait to take a bite.
What Lux ate was a mooncake filled with red beans, full of red bean sweetness, and accompanied by the soft shell of the mooncake, it was immediately praised by her.
"Delicious!"
The rest of the girls also chose a moon cake and took a bite.
Then they discovered that the fillings in these mooncakes were different, some were made of red beans, some were made of jujube paste, and some were made of custard.
But there is one thing in common, that is, they are all delicious.
It seems to be a little tastier than the usual desserts made by Lu Qi.
While admiring the moon and eating moon cakes, the festive feeling that belongs to Lu Qi's hometown suddenly surged up.
【Qualification +1】
[Congratulations to the host's aptitude raised to 60 (one in a thousand)]
After eating a mooncake, Lu Qi also received a message from the system, and his aptitude was improved again.
It seems that these rare and exotic fruits have the effect of improving aptitude, but he usually eats too much, and the effect fades a lot.
In fact, he added these exotic fruits to the meals he cooks every day.
In other words, Lu Qi is not the only one whose aptitude is improving.
And this, except for Lux who only knew to eat, the rest of the girls could faintly feel it.
Because ever since they often stayed by Lu Qi's side, they felt that both their understanding of some tricks and the improvement of their strength after training had become much faster.
In the same way, some obvious ones can be felt after soaking in medicinal baths and wine baths.
Regarding this point, Lu Qi never made it clear.
But they were silently grateful.
There are a lot of mooncakes in the mooncake gift box, and it is definitely not enough to eat them all at once, even if there is a heavyweight player like Lacus, they still can't finish them.
Of course, some of them will remain.
Lu Qi was going to give some to his father, elder brother, the third and fourth kings, and some to the old woman, Aunt Augsa, and those he knew better.
After all, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone eats some mooncakes, which symbolizes a better life.
In the hometown where Lu Qi once stayed, every Mid-Autumn Festival, relatives would prepare mooncakes cut according to the number of people in the morning.
Then share a piece with no one to eat, which means reunion.
After eating almost, Lu Qi took out the highlight of the night.
The women looked curiously at the objects that looked like lanterns, but were obviously thinner and only wrapped in a piece of white rice paper.
Lux asked, "What is this?"
"Kung Ming Lantern."
Lu Qi smiled, handed the pieces of paper to the girls, and said, "In my hometown, it is said that as long as you write your wish on this piece of paper, put it in the Kongming Lantern and send it to the sky , this wish will come true.”
The girls only took the hometown he mentioned as the small town he used to stay in, and they didn't expect it to be another world at all.
But when they heard what he said, it was the first time they heard it, and they all became very interested.
Lacus blinked her big eyes, looked at the Kongming Lantern and asked curiously, "Why is it called Kongming Lantern?"
"Because everyone else calls it that."
"." Lux felt that what he said made sense, so she asked again, "Then can it really fly?"
Lu Qi smiled and said: "You will know later, write down your wish first."
Hearing this, all the girls picked up their pens one after another, looked at the blank note, and fell into thinking.
Only Lux, this guy didn't even think about it, just wrote it on the paper, and it seemed that he wrote a lot.
What are "I hope to have endless food", "I hope to grow up quickly (chest)", "I hope to receive a great gift on my birthday", "I hope the Royal Academy will close down", "I hope everyone's wishes can come true .”
As Lux continued to write, the rest of the people also began to write, confirming their wishes.
After Lu Qi wrote "I hope it can last forever" on the paper, he pasted it on the inside of the Kongming Lantern.
At this time, he saw that Lacus was still writing, and the note was almost full, so he couldn't help laughing: "You can only make one wish, if you make too many wishes, it won't work."
"what?"
Lacus froze for a moment, "Why didn't you say it earlier."
Lu Qi said cheerfully: "Who knew you were so greedy, could it be possible for you to realize all your wishes?"
Lux immediately raised her chin: "Isn't it possible!"
Even though she said that, she still stopped the action of continuing to write, and her face showed a bit of confusion.
Of so many wishes, I can only write one.
But each of these seems to be quite important to her.
Lux didn't know which one to choose for a while.
At this time, Fiona was the first to finish writing, and like Lu Qi, she put it in the Kongming Lantern.
She wrote "I will become the strongest swordsman in the future".
Followed by Sona, wrote "I hope more people like my music".
Then there is Kashina, who wrote "I hope I can become a super powerful knight, and then protect Your Highness".
Quinn wrote "I hope to become as powerful as His Highness".
Wei En wrote "I hope I can get revenge and kill that demon with my own hands."
Frey wrote "I hope Vayne can be happy".
Seeing the wishes they had written and putting them into the lanterns, the impatient Lacus knew that she could no longer be entangled.
So I chose one, the wish I wanted the most at the moment, put it in the Kongming lantern, and pasted it.
Lu Qi asked curiously, "What did you write?"
Lacus glanced at her vigilantly, protected the Kongming lantern, and snorted: "I won't tell you."
Lu Qi sneered: "Then I won't tell you what I wrote."
Lacus chuckled: "What you wrote must be able to continue to be bad."
Lu Qi: "."
Is it so easy to guess?
Seeing the expression on his face, all the girls also laughed.
Yuerna also wrote a wish, put it in the Kongming lantern, and posted it.
However, no one knew what she was writing about.
As Lu Qi ignited the fires in these Kongming lanterns one by one, then something miraculous happened.
I saw these lanterns began to slowly float towards the sky, swaying, towards the moon, flying farther and farther.
"Flying!"
Lux opened her eyes wide, looking at the softly glowing Kongming lanterns, dragging their wishes away, her eyes shone with joy.
Similarly, at this moment, everyone in the courtyard raised their heads, looked at the lanterns flying farther and farther, and smiled.
Under the bright moonlight, these lanterns carry people's wishes and are extremely conspicuous.
(End of this chapter)
Lu Qi continued to lie down in the yard.
In recent days, the temperature has dropped a lot, and he also added an extra piece of clothing.
Similarly, Lacus and the others wore thicker clothes.
At this time, when the wind blows in the morning, although it is not so cold, it can feel a coolness.
Lie down for a while.
The other women also arrived one after another, and after meeting each other, they all said happy holidays.
Seeing that everyone was here, Lu Qi didn't lie down anymore, but got up from the chair and started preparing breakfast.
After breakfast.
Lu Qi began to arrange the yard.
After all, this day was his first holiday here, so Lu Qi also put some thought into the arrangement.
He found a lot of bamboo from outside, and then went to find tools.
Then he cut up these bamboos, cut them into thin bamboo strips one after another, and then weaved them skillfully.
It was rare for all the girls to see him not lying on that chair. Seeing this scene at this moment, they couldn't help being a little curious.
Lux came over and squatted beside Lu Qi, watching him weave several bamboo strips together, just like knitting a sweater.
There was a bit of curiosity in his eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"
Lu Qi replied without raising his head, "Make some lanterns."
Demacia lanterns are not common, and when he said it, Lacus and the others became even more curious.
Although I haven't seen the finished product, it must be interesting to make this guy bother.
The interested Lacus blinked and said, "Let me help too."
Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his head, glanced at her, and the curious girls around him: "Okay, it's not difficult to do this, I'll teach you."
It just so happened that it was quite troublesome for him to finish these lanterns by himself.
So, next Lu Qi taught them the technique.
The inner frame of the lantern is actually not difficult to weave. For beginners, it is enough to do the same.
Lu Qi's demonstration was very slow, enough for the girls to see clearly and learn carefully.
After weaving the frame, use thin ropes to fix the bamboo strips to each other, and then there will be a fixed place for putting candles inside.
The last step is to connect the bamboo strips together, and a circular lantern frame is formed.
After teaching these steps to a few girls, Lu Qi was busy with other things.
Compared with the skeleton of the lantern, the body of the lantern is the part that requires a little technology. Whether the final result of a lantern can be good-looking depends entirely on the outer layer of skin.
For this, Lu Qi asked Urna to buy some expensive paper.
Generally speaking, two different kinds of paper are needed to make the lamp body.
One is placed inside to reflect the firelight, and the red rice paper is pasted inside, and the candlelight is reflected from the hollow, which will look beautiful.
The other is the outside, which is the exterior of the lantern, on which you can draw some pictures, or make some paper-cuts, or write something.
Naturally, these were not difficult for Lu Qi.
In the following time, the girls weaved the skeleton of the lantern over there, and Lu Qi drew the outer body of the lantern on the other end.
"Your Highness, do you think so?"
The first to be woven was Frey.
She is a mother who has more ingenuity and mastery in these things.
For Lu Qi's teaching, it can be said that it is easy to understand.
Looking at the framed bamboo lantern in Frey's hand, Lu Qi nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's it, just put it here when it's done."
"Ah."
Frey responded and placed the lantern next to Lu Qi.
When she finished the first one, the others were not even half-finished.
As a result, Frey's side became lively, and people came up to ask for advice from time to time.
On Lu Qi's side, he began to paste the lamp stand and the lamp body of the lantern together.
As time went by, the lampstands of several women were made one after another and placed beside Lu Qi.
About 25 lanterns were made, of which Frey made six by himself.
At this time, all the girls gathered around Lu Qi, watching him skillfully paste the rice paper on the lantern.
After a while, 25 lanterns of different colors were ready, and the patterns on the outside of each lantern were different.
Some have a full moon painted on them, some have simple versions of cute animals drawn on them, and some have the word 'Yiqiu' written on them.
Seeing these finished products, the eyes of all the girls brightened.
Just from the appearance point of view, this lantern is very beautiful.
Lux suggested: "Let's light it up and see!"
Kashina nodded immediately: "Okay, okay!"
Then Sona, Vayne, Quinn all nodded, and eventually even Fiona joined in.
As one lantern after another was lit, Lu Qi, who had rested, looked at the lanterns they were holding in their hands, showing a speechless expression.
"It's broad daylight, even if you light it up, what can you see?"
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining overhead, and the golden sun shone down.
Even if the candles in the lantern are lit, there is no effect.
But the girls didn't listen to Lu Qi's words.
After all, the lantern in his hand was made by himself. Even though Lu Qi said that it is the best time to see it at night, they couldn't wait to see it.
But just like what Lu Qi said, the sun is so strong at this time, even if the candle inside is lit, no effect can be seen from the outside.
So the girls began to look forward to the night again.
Then Lu Qi started to arrange the lanterns in the yard.
25 lanterns were hung in the front yard, backyard and under the eaves of the house.
Even though it's not evening yet, as soon as these lanterns are hung, there will be a little more festive joy.
After finishing all this work, Lu Qi was about to prepare lunch.
After lunch, everyone gathered on the sofa in the living room, either sitting or lying down, enjoying the leisurely noon time after eating and drinking.
Lacus touched her somewhat round belly, with a satisfied expression on her little face.
After a while, she sat up energetically and looked at everyone with twinkling eyes: "There will be a celebration in the afternoon, should we go and see it?"
Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, when?"
Lux replied, "About three o'clock."
"It's still an hour."
Lu Qi glanced at the clock, and the hands were already leaning against two o'clock.
In other words, if we leave later, we can just catch up with the start of the celebration.
Faced with the proposal to go out to watch the celebration, Kashina, Wayne, Quinn, and Frey did not refuse.
And Fiona also decided to give herself a vacation after thinking for a while.
Only Sona chose to stay at home.
Everyone knew that she didn't like places with many people. Today was a festival, and there would only be more people outside.
So he didn't force her.
Around 02:30, the group set off with great enthusiasm.
It's just that no one noticed that Sona in the courtyard watched the carriage go away with envy flashing in her eyes.
Wangdu, on the street.
The lively atmosphere of the festival is overwhelming, the streets are full of voices, people come and go, and there is an endless stream.
Everyone had a happy smile on their faces and greeted each other a happy holiday.
This made the carriages a little immobile, so everyone simply parked the carriages and switched to walking.
Lu Qi and the others chatted and walked around, blending into the festive atmosphere.
On the way, it also attracted a lot of attention.
Not long after, they entered the street where the celebration was held.
The street and the square were isolated in the middle, and people could only walk around from the periphery. At this moment, the periphery was already crowded with people, with people's heads surging, and voices of conversation were everywhere.
Everyone is waiting for something.
Seeing so many people, Lu Qi must not be willing to squeeze in.
Even he is not happy, let alone Lacus, Fiona and the others.
However, this problem was quickly resolved.
As soon as Lu Qi appeared, he immediately became the focus of the audience, causing many people's attention to focus on him, which quickly caused a little sensation.
"Look! It's His Royal Highness!"
"Did His Royal Highness come to the celebration?"
"very handsome!"
"This is the first time I've been so close to His Highness, he looks so good!"
People's discussions kept ringing out, and their eyes fell on Lu Qi.
A few days ago, his deeds in Edessa City had already spread through the newspapers.
Now it can be said that no one in the capital knows his name.
It also allowed him, the prince who was born out of nowhere, to gain a wave of popularity.
The women around Lu Qi with outstanding temperament and their own characteristics also gained a lot of attention. Standing together at this moment, they are as eye-catching as a beautiful landscape.
The enthusiasm of the crowd made Lu Qi feel as if he had become a star. Hearing the words of those young and beautiful girls in the crowd praising him for his handsomeness, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
No wonder so many people want to be idols, who wouldn't be confused?
At this time, a soldier wearing armor and responsible for maintaining discipline stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there are seats for you and the ladies who are traveling with you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qi nodded, "No rush, I'll be there later."
And seeing his expression that obviously didn't hear enough, all the girls felt speechless.
Lacus rolled her eyes, and directly pulled his arm and walked over there: "Let's go, I don't feel ashamed."
Fiona glanced at him lightly and walked towards the seat.
Wei En followed behind. During this period of time, her relationship with Fiona was quite good, and the two seemed to get along quite well in terms of personality.
Kashina and Quinn looked at Lu Qi helplessly, and followed Fiona one after another.
Lu Qi was dragged to the VIP seat, which was an expanded rooftop with a wall, from which he could see the square and streets below.
There are also thoughtfully prepared chairs for him to rest, tea to drink, and pastries to eat.
Before the celebration started, everyone sat down to rest.
As he disappeared from people's view, the talk about him gradually died down, and the festival began to be talked about again.
"when!!"
Just as people were talking, a loud gong sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of the people present.
"It's started, come and see!"
When Lacus heard this, she immediately ran to the edge of the fence, lay there, and looked down with her big eyes twinkling.
Everyone also came to the wall one after another.
From a distance, a long team came slowly with gongs and drums.
In addition to those beating gongs and drums, there were also people with various musical instruments.
Many kinds of music are mixed together, but it is not harsh, but rather festive.
Soon, the crowd became lively with them.
And among these teams, there are complaining drummers wearing heavy cloth clothes and bare arms.
There are dancers with masks on their faces, dancing forward with the team.
In the team, there are also large carts, on which are various statues related to the Yiqiu Festival.
In the back, there are some women in special costumes dancing gracefully.
They were covered with a layer of very transparent long skirts, and their white and tender bellies and belly were exposed.
Demacians dress conservatively. At the moment, this kind of dress is already very bold, and I'm afraid it can only be seen on festivals.
The parade of this celebration has many patterns, and Lu Qi is quite interesting to see them one by one.
With the appearance of this celebration team, it directly brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.
After the parade, there were many performances in the vacated square.
With the performances one by one, everyone's minds were immersed in the celebration.
After watching several programs, Lu Qi glanced sideways at Miss Crown Guard.
At this time, Lux's face was full of laughter, and she would give applause for the show from time to time.
It can be seen that she especially likes such lively occasions.
Also happy with her is her best friend Kashina. The two girls are next to each other, very happy.
It was also the first time for Wei En and Quinn to watch the celebration in the capital, and they were fascinated by watching it now.
Fiona's gaze also fell on the square, watching the interesting program with a slight smile on her lips.
At this time, Lu Qi thought of Sona.
She must also want to participate in this celebration.
in the courtyard.
Sona's slender and slender fingers gently played on the strings of Yuhua, but compared with the practice in the past, today she seems a little absent-minded.
Even the sound of the strings is out of tune, but it is still beautiful.
After a while, she stopped and looked up in the direction of the celebration, thinking in her heart.
Right now, Your Highness and the others are already watching the celebration, right?
It's not that Sona doesn't like crowded places.
It's just that in crowded places, all kinds of voices are too noisy, and it will become very noisy.
So Sona didn't really want to face these sounds except for the concert.
At the age of 13, Sona went to see her first celebration in Demacia, but at that time, there were huge crowds of people gathered together, and a lot of heartfelt voices poured into her sea of consciousness in an instant.
The loud noises made her nearly faint, and she was soon brought home by her accompanying mother.
She hasn't been to the celebration since then.
However, in fact, she also likes lively celebrations.
She wants to watch it with everyone, and wants to watch it with His Highness.
Withdrawing her gaze, the loneliness in Sona's eyes flashed away, and then she showed a smile to comfort herself.
It's okay if you can't watch it with everyone.
Hasn't she always come here like this?
But before that, she didn't have so many friends.
Thinking about it, Sona was still distracted.
"You're really out of tune today, Sona."
At this time, a voice that was thinking in the mind at the moment suddenly sounded, making Sona stunned for a moment.
She looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and saw Lu Qi walking in slowly, and immediately showed a questioning look.
It seems to be asking, why come back now.
Lu Qi smiled: "Because today's celebration is very interesting, I can't wait to share it with you."
Sona was stunned, watching Lu Qi sitting aside, then put her hand on Yuhua, and began to talk about today's celebration.
At this moment, it seemed as if a warm enthusiasm emerged from this man, dispelling the coldness in her heart, and replacing it with a burst of sweet joy.
Although I couldn't go to the celebration in person, I could feel Lu Qi's heart, following his description.
The scenes of the celebration also appeared in front of Sona's eyes, and she seemed to feel the lively atmosphere.
Then, she blinked her eyes like water, and her eyes fell on Lu Qi's side face.
His eyelashes are very long, his handsome face is a little casual and lazy, there is a slight smile in his clear eyes, looking extremely soft, his rosy lips hooked charmingly, and he is talking about celebrations Funny scene after scene.
Gradually, Sona's attention shifted from the celebration to this face.
Stared at it for many seconds.
Inexplicably, a surge of courage emerged.
This time, without any hesitation, she leaned forward with her face.
"Bah."
"Then this time.???"
Lu Qi, who was explaining the ceremony, suddenly felt a moist tenderness on his face, and immediately asked a few question marks.
Then he turned his head and looked at Sona in front of him.
Sona's face was now more seductively rosy, and her watery eyes looked at Lu Qi without blinking, looking at his somewhat dull face, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Her pleasant laughter reached Lu Qi's ears through Yuhua.
Lu Qi came back to his senses, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Both of your sisters like sneak attacks, right?
There seemed to be some warmth on his face. Hearing Sona's happy laughter, he decided not to pursue this girl's sneak attack this time.
After laughing a few times, Sona looked at Lu Qi with twinkling eyes: "Your Highness, thank you for coming back to accompany me."
Lu Qi smiled, and then heard Sona's voice again.
"I still want to hear, celebration."
Lu Qi thought for a while: "Where did I just talk?"
Sona smiled and said: "It is said that there is a person who held a torch and spewed out a big fire with a wow."
"Well, at this moment."
Lu Qi continued to talk.
Then she felt her shoulders sinking, and it was Sona's head that leaned up gently. She closed her eyes, as if she was enjoying this moment.
Seeing that his voice had stopped, Sona urged in her heart.
"keep going."
"."
As a result, the only quiet thing in the courtyard was the voice of Lu Qi talking about the interesting scenes of the celebration.
However, he didn't wait for him to say much.
There was a sound of carriage driving, from far to near, and then slowly stopped.
Hearing this voice, Sona's body "stretched" and sat up straight, and then she heard the voices of Lacus and the others.
Her heart suddenly "thumped" faster, and her little face instantly became extremely red, with a somewhat nervous look on her face.
She tried her best to control her expression, but her slightly shortness of breath still betrayed the tension in her heart.
Soon, the girls got off the carriage and walked into the yard.
"Hey, sister Sona, are you teaching this guy how to practice the piano again?"
Seeing the two sitting next to each other, Lacus simply asked the question without thinking too much.
When Sona heard this, she immediately nodded her head like pounding garlic, but there was a bit of guilt in her eyes.
"What's the use of teaching him, this guy is terrible at playing the piano."
Lacus glanced at Lu Qi with disgust.
Sona immediately picked up Yuhua, stood up, and kept away from Lu Qi.
Kashina stepped forward and said with a smile on her face: "Sister, let me tell you, today's celebration is very interesting."
Sona listened and nodded, showing an expectant expression.
It's not the end of the celebration yet.
But she already knew that everyone came back early to accompany her.
In my heart, I was instantly moved.
At this moment, Fiona took a look at Sona, then at Lu Qi who was lying down and yawning, and could not help but squint her eyes.
Sensing the change in her expression, Sona raised her heart in her throat, not even daring to meet her eyes.
For some reason, in front of Miss Jian Ji, she always felt like she had done something wrong.
But Fiona just glanced at it, with a smile on her lips, and walked towards the backyard.
It is estimated that he went to practice swords.
Sona secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lacus, Kashina, and Quinn were still telling interesting stories about the celebration around her in the yard.
"You didn't see that person, took a sip of water, and then wowed, such a big ball of fire spewed out!"
"And that dance is also very good-looking, I learned a few times, sister, look at it"
"The penultimate show was also good. In the form of dance, it reinterpreted what happened between King Oren and Yarna back then."
Listening to the three girls chattering about the celebration beside him.
Sona gradually calmed down, with a smile on her face, feeling warm in her heart.
After a period of time, as the residual heat of the celebration passed, the courtyard also returned to normal.
Lu Qi, Lacus, and Wayne called Fiona, who was practicing swords in the backyard, and formed a pot of mahjong.
And Quinn, Frey, and Kashina went to Fight the Landlords.
Sona's playing came out from time to time, and the brisk music seemed to express her joyful mood at the moment.
night.
After dinner, in the backyard, in the hot spring pool.
As the white moonlight fell, everyone soaked in the pool one after another.
At this moment, they all raised their heads in unison and looked towards the sky.
There are few moons and stars tonight, only a full moon that seems to be brighter than usual hangs in the sky, which is surprisingly bright and beautiful.
Under such a moon scene, everyone's heart is as quiet as still water, immersed in the moonlight.
After soaking in the hot spring, everyone changed their clothes and came to the front yard.
At this time, the lanterns made during the day showed their effects.
At this moment, I saw the candlelight passing through the rice paper inside the lantern, reflecting the color of the whole lantern, and then emitting a soft halo under the moonlight.
These lanterns illuminate the yard brightly, and the effect is obviously many times better than during the day.
There is a festive atmosphere all at once.
The eyes of all the girls flickered, looking at the lanterns they made with their own hands, they were very happy in their hearts.
When it was about the same time, Lu Qi took out the gift box of mooncakes that he had obtained at the morning's check-in.
All the girls gathered around the table, looking at the round moon cakes one after another, very curious.
Lux picked up one and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Qi said: "Moon cakes are a kind of dessert, you should try them."
"Mooncake." Lux muttered, held up the mooncake, opened and closed one eye, and compared it with the moon above her head.
It seems that there is such a thing in common between the two.
Holding it in her hand, she could already smell the fragrance emanating from the moon cake.
So, I couldn't wait to take a bite.
What Lux ate was a mooncake filled with red beans, full of red bean sweetness, and accompanied by the soft shell of the mooncake, it was immediately praised by her.
"Delicious!"
The rest of the girls also chose a moon cake and took a bite.
Then they discovered that the fillings in these mooncakes were different, some were made of red beans, some were made of jujube paste, and some were made of custard.
But there is one thing in common, that is, they are all delicious.
It seems to be a little tastier than the usual desserts made by Lu Qi.
While admiring the moon and eating moon cakes, the festive feeling that belongs to Lu Qi's hometown suddenly surged up.
【Qualification +1】
[Congratulations to the host's aptitude raised to 60 (one in a thousand)]
After eating a mooncake, Lu Qi also received a message from the system, and his aptitude was improved again.
It seems that these rare and exotic fruits have the effect of improving aptitude, but he usually eats too much, and the effect fades a lot.
In fact, he added these exotic fruits to the meals he cooks every day.
In other words, Lu Qi is not the only one whose aptitude is improving.
And this, except for Lux who only knew to eat, the rest of the girls could faintly feel it.
Because ever since they often stayed by Lu Qi's side, they felt that both their understanding of some tricks and the improvement of their strength after training had become much faster.
In the same way, some obvious ones can be felt after soaking in medicinal baths and wine baths.
Regarding this point, Lu Qi never made it clear.
But they were silently grateful.
There are a lot of mooncakes in the mooncake gift box, and it is definitely not enough to eat them all at once, even if there is a heavyweight player like Lacus, they still can't finish them.
Of course, some of them will remain.
Lu Qi was going to give some to his father, elder brother, the third and fourth kings, and some to the old woman, Aunt Augsa, and those he knew better.
After all, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone eats some mooncakes, which symbolizes a better life.
In the hometown where Lu Qi once stayed, every Mid-Autumn Festival, relatives would prepare mooncakes cut according to the number of people in the morning.
Then share a piece with no one to eat, which means reunion.
After eating almost, Lu Qi took out the highlight of the night.
The women looked curiously at the objects that looked like lanterns, but were obviously thinner and only wrapped in a piece of white rice paper.
Lux asked, "What is this?"
"Kung Ming Lantern."
Lu Qi smiled, handed the pieces of paper to the girls, and said, "In my hometown, it is said that as long as you write your wish on this piece of paper, put it in the Kongming Lantern and send it to the sky , this wish will come true.”
The girls only took the hometown he mentioned as the small town he used to stay in, and they didn't expect it to be another world at all.
But when they heard what he said, it was the first time they heard it, and they all became very interested.
Lacus blinked her big eyes, looked at the Kongming Lantern and asked curiously, "Why is it called Kongming Lantern?"
"Because everyone else calls it that."
"." Lux felt that what he said made sense, so she asked again, "Then can it really fly?"
Lu Qi smiled and said: "You will know later, write down your wish first."
Hearing this, all the girls picked up their pens one after another, looked at the blank note, and fell into thinking.
Only Lux, this guy didn't even think about it, just wrote it on the paper, and it seemed that he wrote a lot.
What are "I hope to have endless food", "I hope to grow up quickly (chest)", "I hope to receive a great gift on my birthday", "I hope the Royal Academy will close down", "I hope everyone's wishes can come true .”
As Lux continued to write, the rest of the people also began to write, confirming their wishes.
After Lu Qi wrote "I hope it can last forever" on the paper, he pasted it on the inside of the Kongming Lantern.
At this time, he saw that Lacus was still writing, and the note was almost full, so he couldn't help laughing: "You can only make one wish, if you make too many wishes, it won't work."
"what?"
Lacus froze for a moment, "Why didn't you say it earlier."
Lu Qi said cheerfully: "Who knew you were so greedy, could it be possible for you to realize all your wishes?"
Lux immediately raised her chin: "Isn't it possible!"
Even though she said that, she still stopped the action of continuing to write, and her face showed a bit of confusion.
Of so many wishes, I can only write one.
But each of these seems to be quite important to her.
Lux didn't know which one to choose for a while.
At this time, Fiona was the first to finish writing, and like Lu Qi, she put it in the Kongming Lantern.
She wrote "I will become the strongest swordsman in the future".
Followed by Sona, wrote "I hope more people like my music".
Then there is Kashina, who wrote "I hope I can become a super powerful knight, and then protect Your Highness".
Quinn wrote "I hope to become as powerful as His Highness".
Wei En wrote "I hope I can get revenge and kill that demon with my own hands."
Frey wrote "I hope Vayne can be happy".
Seeing the wishes they had written and putting them into the lanterns, the impatient Lacus knew that she could no longer be entangled.
So I chose one, the wish I wanted the most at the moment, put it in the Kongming lantern, and pasted it.
Lu Qi asked curiously, "What did you write?"
Lacus glanced at her vigilantly, protected the Kongming lantern, and snorted: "I won't tell you."
Lu Qi sneered: "Then I won't tell you what I wrote."
Lacus chuckled: "What you wrote must be able to continue to be bad."
Lu Qi: "."
Is it so easy to guess?
Seeing the expression on his face, all the girls also laughed.
Yuerna also wrote a wish, put it in the Kongming lantern, and posted it.
However, no one knew what she was writing about.
As Lu Qi ignited the fires in these Kongming lanterns one by one, then something miraculous happened.
I saw these lanterns began to slowly float towards the sky, swaying, towards the moon, flying farther and farther.
"Flying!"
Lux opened her eyes wide, looking at the softly glowing Kongming lanterns, dragging their wishes away, her eyes shone with joy.
Similarly, at this moment, everyone in the courtyard raised their heads, looked at the lanterns flying farther and farther, and smiled.
Under the bright moonlight, these lanterns carry people's wishes and are extremely conspicuous.
