Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 257 Turning the Lantern, What Are You Running For?

Qin Luoyu was looking around, not paying much attention to Chanjuan's words, and said casually, "What is Yuanxi Festival?"

Jueying, who accompanied them as their bodyguard, gave her a complicated look.

The Emperor Xindao deliberately postponed his return to Kyoto for more than half a month in order to allow his mother to experience the Lantern Festival in his home country.

Unexpectedly, the empress, as the third princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, doesn't even know what the Lantern Festival is.

After being reminded by Chanjuan, Qin Luoyu thought about it, and then remembered that this is one of the most solemn festivals in the Great Qin Kingdom besides the New Year, and it is actually the Shangyuan Lantern Festival for later generations.

Seeing that it was still early, Qin Luoyu was not in a hurry to go back, and wandered casually along the long street.

As twilight deepens, the lanterns on both sides of the long street are lit one by one, and the orange light brings a little warmth to the dusk of this winter night.

Not far from the long street is the famous Baiyu Bridge in Los Angeles.

Under the bridge is the Luo River that passes through the city. On both sides of the long street on the bridge are shops selling all kinds of delicious, fun and beautiful things.

Fearing that their own signboards would not be eye-catching, the shops simply set up tall wooden frames, hung various lanterns, and played various games to attract customers.

On the Baiyu Bridge where people come and go, Qin Luoyu held up a bunch of bright red candied haws, and very comfortably bit into a hawthorn covered with icing sugar.

Uh, sweet and sour, the feeling of ice and cold is simply not too good.

His eyes glanced across the long street not far away inadvertently, and he was suddenly stunned.

The people coming and going passed by, and at this moment they all seemed to be shadows.

Qin Luoyu stared fixedly at the black figure standing with his hands behind his back on the long street, as well as Wei Wuji behind him, and Wei Wushu who was smiling at her.

I wonder why are they all here?
It's such a coincidence that I met here.

Seeing the man walking slowly in front of her, Qin Luoyu blinked, and whispered, "Your Majesty?"

Ling Junxing glanced at the crowd around him, and reminded her: "My husband."

"Oh, my husband." Qin Luoyu followed suit, "Why is my husband here?"

Ling Junxing: "Come to accompany you to celebrate the festival."

Qin Luoyu was a little at a loss, spending the holiday with her?

What festival is it?Is it New Year's Eve?
Seeing her surprised look, Ling Junxing hooked his lips: "Isn't the Lantern Festival one of the most important festivals in Daqin? I heard that the whole family will come out to watch lanterns, listen to operas and have fun on this day. It is very lively." , the husband will naturally go to the country to do as the Romans do, and accompany his wife for a stroll."

Qin Luoyu: "."

Is there still such a custom on New Year's Eve?She doesn't know.

Well, since it was Ling Junxing's mind, she couldn't help but know good and evil, so she bent her lips and smiled: "Thank you, husband."

The long street is lively, and a group of people walk and stroll.

All kinds of lanterns in different shapes, large or small, sway with the wind, reflecting the stars and the moon in the sky.

"The front seems to be the place where the lanterns are turned."

Chanjuan pointed to a place crowded with people, "Princess, do you want to go play? You were not the favorite with Xiao in previous years."

She shut up abruptly at this point.

Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Chanjuan looked at Ling Junxing uneasily.

Seeing that Ling Junxing looked indifferent, as if he didn't hear, Chanjuan was relieved.

"What is a lantern?" Wei Wushu couldn't help asking, she had never played it before, so she really didn't know what it was.

"Turning lanterns means that in a huge yard with intricate topography, there are all kinds of lanterns. There are many entrances, many branches, and many exits, but only one exit is correct."

Chanjuan explained, "It takes a lot of effort to find the right exit anyway."

Qin Luoyu thought to himself, isn't this just walking through a maze?

In my memory, the original owner seemed to like to play very much. She played with Xiao Shangyan a few times during the Lantern Festival, but she was not very interested.

"I have also heard of this game of turning lanterns."

Wei Wuji answered: "It seems that the young men and women of the Great Qin Kingdom love to play this game on the Lantern Festival?"

Wei Wushu was puzzled: "Why young men and women?"

"Because when the lanterns are turned, everyone is easy to get separated. Once separated, it may be difficult to meet again until we go out."

Chanjuan understands these things better, so she explained in detail, "Our Daqin customs say that if you can meet the person you like before you reach the exit, then you will be able to stay together for a long time, even if there is a short period of time in your life." Separation, will eventually meet again."

Several people were talking, and they had already reached the entrance of the turning lantern.

Under the huge store door and the huge signboard hung high, there were crowds of people, and sure enough, there were mostly young men and women, laughing and laughing, and it was very lively.

Seeing that there are so many people, Qin Luoyu doesn't want to play anymore, "Let's go look elsewhere."

However, Ling Junxing took her hand and said calmly: "Just play with this."

Qin Luoyu: "."

Well, just play and play.

After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn.

A group of people walked through a dimly lit passage in order, and entered the "maze" compound from different entrances.

As soon as I entered, the voices that were chattering just now became quiet in an instant.

When Qin Luoyu looked back, he found that there was no one around him.

In the dark night, there are lanterns of different shapes and colors all around.

When there are many people looking at these lanterns, they will feel very beautiful, but when there is only one person, there will be some inexplicable panic in my heart.

She quickened her pace and walked forward, and soon came to a fork.

I chose the road on the right at random, and after walking for a while, I came to another fork.

Go to the right again, and after a while, there is another fork, or a three-fork.
Qin Luoyu was a bit overwhelmed. Maybe the person who designed the turning lanterns was a military genius who was good at arranging troops?
Tossing and moving in a limited space, not tossing people around and not giving up, is also really talented.

The surrounding is very quiet.Apart from the sound of my own footsteps and breathing, there was only the occasional sound of sparks from the candles in the lantern.

As Qin Luoyu was walking, he saw a man in white standing in front of the intersection.

He was probably thinking about which way to go, when he heard the sound of footsteps and turned his head, when he saw Qin Luoyu, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The girl is also here to play with the lantern?"

The man was about 20 years old, his smile was a little frivolous, "Are you alone?"

Qin Luoyu rolled his eyes in his heart, and thought to himself, isn't this a question knowingly?

The man was giggling, looking her up and down presumptuously, and the light of the lantern beside him reflected on his face, inexplicably looking a little malicious.

Qin Luoyu didn't want to stay longer, so he chose a random path and left.

The man quickly chased after him, "Girl, don't go away. It's rare for us to meet each other when we turn the lanterns. Why don't we get to know each other—girl? Girl, don't run away—"

Qin Luoyu didn't dare to answer, she was so frightened that she ran forward.

Suddenly, the whole person crashed into a solid chest.

A cold and deep voice sounded above her head: "What are you running for?"

　I wanted to write an update at first, but I really can’t write it tomorrow~~An Chengjuan is almost finished, and before I go back to Yedu, um, I will give the male lead some benefits, whether the benefits are big or small, I haven’t decided yet
